[U.T] Ch 1: The Ultimate Trait System!
🕑 Added 2025-03-28 02:55:42 +0000 UTC— — — — — —
A luxurious merchant ship carrying nobles and wealthy businessmen sailed across the sea. At this moment, the ship was buzzing with life as a grand ball took place. Inside, glasses clinked as the guests indulged in drinks and conversation.
Among them, a striking young woman with vibrant orange hair stood near the railing, gazing at the vast ocean.
"The Alvida Pirates should be arriving soon, right?"
Nami's eyes flickered as she looked at the sea, which had just calmed down after a whirlpool.
She had received word that the Alvida Pirates were planning to attack this merchant ship. So, she had disguised herself in an elegant gown and infiltrated the gathering ahead of time.
Her plan was simple: the moment the Alvida Pirates launched their attack, she would use the chaos as cover to sneak onto their ship and steal their treasure.
After all, she was a thief who specialized in stealing from pirates.
"My lady, may I have the honor of a dance?" A soft chuckle came from behind her.
Turning around, Nami saw a handsome young man smiling at her.
"Of course."
She responded with a playful smile and placed her delicate hand in his.
Leading Nami onto the dance floor, the young man glanced at her and casually remarked, "That was quite the whirlpool earlier, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, it really gave me a scare." Nami chuckled.
The young man merely smiled in response, but in his mind, he was already issuing a command.
"Read Traits."
A translucent screen appeared before his eyes.
[Nami]
→Traits:
•Pirate Thief (Blue): A kind-hearted thief who only steals from wicked pirates. Skilled in the art of thievery.
•Navigation (Deep Purple): An exceptional navigator, capable of sailing smoothly across the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line.
•Weather Perception (Light Gold): Possesses an innate ability to precisely sense weather changes and has an extraordinary talent for climate awareness.

"As expected of the Straw Hats' navigator. Even at the start of the story, she already has a deep purple and a light gold trait."
The young man—Luen—sighed internally.
Luen was a transmigrator from another world.
A month ago, he had been transported from Earth into the One Piece universe.
Just as he was despairing over being thrown into a world filled with monstrous individuals, his cheat ability had awakened—
[The Ultimate Trait System.]
As the name suggested, Luen could analyze other people's abilities in the form of traits. More importantly, he could load and even steal these traits.
Traits were categorized into four levels: White, Blue, Purple, and Gold, making it as straightforward as a pay-to-win game.
White and Blue traits had no subdivisions and were quite common.
Purple and Gold traits, however, had three tiers: Light, Deep, and Super.
Even though Nami was just a pirate thief in the weakest sea, the East Blue, her Navigation was already Deep Purple, and her Weather Perception was Light Gold.
Once she joined the Straw Hat Pirates and entered the Grand Line, these traits would undoubtedly evolve rapidly.
Yes, traits could evolve. Most people had to rely on talent and hard work, but Luen had the ability to steal and upgrade them through his system.

[Luen]
→Traits:
•Beast Strength (Blue): The power of a beast.

Compared to Nami's high-tier traits, Luen's single Blue trait seemed rather pitiful.
However, considering he had only been in this world for a month, this trait was already a lucky acquisition. He had obtained it by stealing from a dead beast he had stumbled upon right after transmigrating.
Even though it was only a Blue trait, it was still superior to the White traits most low-level pirates had. Many pirates didn't even have a single valuable trait, making them easy prey for Luen.
Thanks to this Beast Strength, he had managed to survive in these pirate-infested seas. And not long ago, he had boarded this very ship, the Starting Ship of the Story.
[Starting Ship] →(Traits): The ship where the events of "One Piece" begin.
This kind of trait didn't even qualify for the White category; it was merely an informational note.
Still, its presence reassured Luen that he was on the right ship.
As for why he sought out this ship—
Simple. He wanted to acquire more high-level traits.
Soon, this ship would be overflowing with treasure.
A smirk curled on Luen's lips.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In the next instant, countless cannonballs rained down from the sea, shaking the merchant ship violently as explosions erupted across its deck.
In the distance, a pirate ship bearing a heart-shaped skull emblem rapidly approached.
"Help! It's the pirates!"
"Stay calm! Do not panic!"
Screams of terror erupted from the passengers as the captain struggled to maintain order, but under the looming threat of cannon fire and ruthless pirates, chaos quickly ensued.
"It's time!"
Nami's eyes gleamed as she watched the approaching Alvida Pirates' ship.
However, she soon noticed something strange—
The young man she had just danced with... wasn't panicking at all.
In fact, his eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement as he gazed at the incoming pirate ship.
"Wait… don't tell me… he's a rival thief?!"
Nami's expression grew wary.
"It seems you have some business to attend to, Miss Nami. Well then, let's go our separate ways."
Luen released her hand with a smile before turning and casually strolling away from the ballroom.
"Huh? So he's not a thief like me? Weird."
Watching his retreating figure, Nami felt puzzled.
One thing was clear—this man had his own motives for being here.
But there was no time to dwell on it. This was a fleeting opportunity.
Without hesitation, Nami stripped off her gown, revealing her thief outfit underneath. She carefully observed the pirates storming the merchant ship, waiting for the perfect moment.
Once the Alvida Pirates were fully engaged, she retrieved a grappling hook, expertly latched onto their ship, and swiftly slid across the rope.
Meanwhile, Luen smirked as he spotted something inside the ship.
"Luffy's barrel. There it is."
Kicking aside an unconscious pirate, Luen looked into a dimly lit room.
The Alvida Pirates had rounded up the wealthy merchants, crew, and captain, keeping them under guard while ransacking the ship's valuables.
