Klein imdiately swapped out the talent [Triple Lifespan] for [Innate Observation Haki], and sure enough, the icon on the skill tree lit up.
At the sa ti, new upgradeable traits branched out below it:
[Mind Reading], [mory Reading], [Telepathy], [Emotion Perception]...
"Holy—" Klein was stunned. "These look like the sa abilities Queen Otohi of Fishman Island had… like Telepathy and Emotion Perception!"
Such a sha… she had talent, but no strength to support it. She never got to realize her gift—
Assassinated!
Klein's blood was pumping now. This ant that if he fully maxed out the traits, he'd possess every special ability tied to Innate Observation Haki.
The true all-round king!
Insane!
If this were a fully maxed-out version of Observation Haki, who could possibly handle it?
But that's not all—
Klein knew the skill system update wasn't just for Observation Haki. It included Armant Haki and even—
Conqueror's Haki!!
He was fired up. He wanted to dump all his money into it, maxing out every Haki trait and leveling them to the top!
But he also understood...
That'd probably require a mountain of Skill Points.
"I knew it. The ga got updated, and of course the pay-to-win cost would scale too. But as long as I can keep getting stronger, money's not an issue!"
What he feared was—
Spending real-world money to top-up, and still getting wrecked by other players!
Wouldn't that drive anyone mad?
If it were , I'd lose it too—charging money just to play worse? What am I, a tortured poet?
Klein couldn't help but get excited. After all, Haki was the standard for judging strong players.
Before Haki ca into play...
Even the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates could be beaten by soone like Mr. 3. But with Haki in the picture? Dorry and Brogy could hold their own against the Five Elders!
Even Crocodile suffered because he ca from a pre-Haki patch.
Sure, so argue Crocodile and Moriah were just ntally broken.
Fair enough!
Next, Klein couldn't resist opening the Armant Haki tree, and sure enough, traits like:
[Emission], [Hardening], [Coating], [Ryuo (Internal Destruction)], [Weapon Tempering]…
"Damn. Yeah, this is gonna take so grinding," Klein muttered, pulling a face.
Then he checked the Conqueror's Haki section.
Traits included: [Intimidation], [Conqueror's Coating], [Observation Suppression], [Demonic Aura], [Asura Mode]…
(The ellipses ant patch content—more traits would be added later.)
Aside from [Intimidation], all the other traits were still grayed out.
His level was too low. He couldn't unlock them yet.
"A whole new triple-Haki skill tree, damn… Let's see how far I can level these up and how many skill points I get."
Klein was fired up!
He had a new goal to strive for!
This massive update to the ga made him genuinely satisfied. He was sure there were even more changes waiting to be discovered.
First step: power up. Everything else could wait.
Then—
Klein opened a Skill Chest.
[You've obtained the skill: Divine Evasion!]
...???
A bunch of question marks popped over his head. "You've gotta be kidding , devs—no, A-dev, are you serious right now?"
"You playing with ?"
"You treating like so JRPG NPC now?"
Back when he first started playing, he desperately wanted this ultra-stylish, super-powerful skill.
But sadly...
He only ever got 1 shard. Even with the daily deals maxed out, after a whole year, he had barely managed to gather just over 20 shards.
He thought it'd take 2 to 3 years minimum to get enough.
But then, not long ago, he drew the Gold ntor: Gol D. Roger.
That guaranteed he'd eventually unlock his long-dread-of skill: Divine Evasion.
Just… not yet. It wasn't ready.
And now on the first pull, he gets Divine Evasion!?
Mom—(Adoptive Dad)—I don't need to grind shards anymore!
Divine Evasion...
It's here!!
OH YEAH!!!
"Still, Divine Evasion without Conqueror's Coating feels like it's missing sothing. But I just recharged nearly ten billion—should be enough to unlock the coating, right?" Klein wasn't entirely confident.
He didn't want the system slapping him in the face again. That'd be brutal.
It might just push him over the edge.
"Well, this works too. Unlocking it early ans I can start using EXP to upgrade Divine Evasion. And as for the shards…"
"They're perfect for evolving the skill later!"
Then Klein thought of sothing equal parts funny and ridiculous.
"If I go around the seas showing off with Divine Evasion… would Roger change the na?"
"And what would he change it to?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⁂fire
He was seriously curious.
[You've obtained the skill: Divine Evasion!]
[Duplicate skill detected. Automatically converted into Shards.]
His head hurt.
Both of them.
"Couldn't get it for ages, and now I get two at once? You... you've really mastered the gacha ga experience, huh?"
No company ever pees into two pots. But you—
Legendary Pee Energy.
This wasn't even the first ti Klein had gone through this nonsense. Truly a love-hate relationship.

Newly acquired skills: Traditional dicine Fist, Two-Sword Style · Wave Slash, Human Combination Technique, Fishman Karate, and Supre Ocean Conquest!
Klein rembered Traditional dicine Fist—one of the techniques used by a subordinate of Bundy World. Not exactly top-tier.
Two-Sword Style · Wave Slash? That was Golden Lion Shiki's move. Not bad.
Human Combination Technique?
What the hell even is that skill??
