It's time to lay all the cards on the table—I'm your boss!

"Let's drop the act, son. I'm your father—now say my name."
Chu Overlord, a transmigrator, gazed longingly at the destitute beggar before him.
"Ba... Ba—Overlord, I... I st-stutter... p-please don't make fun of me."
The beggar stared back, utterly confused.
Only then did he realize Chu Overlord was toying with him, and he raised his cane, ready to swing.
But Chu Overlord, agile as ever, was already long gone.
"Ba... Ba—Overlord, y-you wait! I-I'm going to tell Miss Kaya on you!"
...
"So, I've transmigrated, huh? I've been stuck in the world of pirates for eighteen years, and still, no golden finger?"
Chu Overlord was filled with frustration. Other transmigrators get their cheat codes the moment they arrive,
But not him—he’d played the underdog for eighteen years and still hadn’t received the standard-issue system?
One must know, though the pirate world isn’t the most dangerous out there,
The clashes of the strong are utterly devastating to ordinary folk!
Mountains crumble, volcanoes erupt, glaciers shatter...
Worst of all are the lawless pirates, burning, murdering, looting—utterly depraved!
Luckily, Chu Overlord was born in a peaceful little village—Syrup Village,
The very place where Usopp, Luffy’s loyal crewmate, was born.
Chu Overlord thought he was destined for an ordinary life—birth, aging, illness, and death—utterly unremarkable.
Resigned, he accepted the persistent affections of his childhood friend Kaya...
He just wanted to live quietly, sponging off her in peace!
But who would have thought, on the second day after their wedding night,
The system awakened!
Chu Overlord was furious. If he’d remained a virgin for life, would he have missed the system forever?
[Universal Son-Collecting System loading... loading complete...]
As the name suggests, this was a system for collecting sons to grow stronger.
As long as someone called him "Dad," Chu Overlord could draw a lottery.
The only hitch: each person could only provide one lottery chance a day, with a maximum of ten people calling him Dad at any one time.

The daily lottery cap was 100 draws, which would increase as his strength grew.
From the looks of things, the pirate world was just a starting point.
Would he travel to the world of ninjas, dragons, or even Marvel in the future?
Chu Overlord’s anticipation grew.
"System, is there a newbie gift pack?"
[The newbie gift pack is currently sealed. Have someone call you Dad to claim it.]
Chu Overlord was dumbfounded.
Isn’t the newbie gift pack supposed to be handed over directly?
Why is there a task attached?!
Isn’t this making life hard for me?!
Ten minutes later, Chu Overlord found the village’s only stuttering beggar.
Thus began the dramatic scene at the story’s opening.
"Whew... System, someone’s already called me ‘Ba-ba.’ Can I claim the gift pack now?"
[Opening newbie gift pack...]
Whoa, it actually works!
He’d been playing a homophone joke, thinking the system would surely catch on.
Yet, it turned out this little system was really lacking in intelligence!
[Obtained: Perfect-level Rumble-Rumble Fruit]
[Obtained: LV.1 Observation Haki]
[Obtained: Appraisal of the Strong]
[Obtained: Blade Cultivation Technique]
[Obtained: Embryo Gaze]
[Obtained: “Known by All” passive buff]
Wow!
This gift pack seemed almost too generous.
The perfect-level Rumble-Rumble Fruit needed no explanation.
LV.1 Observation Haki was a treasure as well.

As for Appraisal of the Strong, Blade Cultivation, and Embryo Gaze...
[Appraisal of the Strong: Instantly discern whether someone is a true powerhouse with a single glance.
Skill effect: A gaze reminiscent of a sage’s motherly love from the classics. For ten seconds, the target experiences the agony of ten months’ pregnancy, followed by half an hour of enduring the pain of childbirth.]
"Damn! Isn’t this the legendary ‘whoever you glare at gets pregnant’?"
"But it makes sense. They say the greatest pain in the world is a woman’s labor.
To test a powerhouse’s will, make them experience childbirth—true or false discerned in an instant."
"This skill is truly game-breaking. Below the level of a Yonko, not many could withstand it."
[Blade Cultivation Technique: Anything can be ‘cultivated.’ The most unorthodox skill—allows you to increase any item’s affection, regardless of race, substance, or even the void.]
"Another top-tier skill! I remember in the original, with enough cultivation, even a dull blade could become a sword maiden?"
Indeed, anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be premium!
This skill was fantastic—just thinking about raising a sword maiden in the future made Chu Overlord eager to try.
[Embryo Gaze: An evil art acquired after manifesting in the Netherworld. Used in conjunction with Appraisal of the Strong, it allows you to seize one ability from your opponent.]
Good heavens, this skill was completely overpowered!
Use it with Appraisal of the Strong and you could snatch an ability from your opponent!
Note:
This is to seize, not copy!
Just imagine—
What if he seized Shanks’s Conqueror’s Haki, Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Kizaru’s Glint-Glint Fruit, Akainu’s Magma-Magma Fruit...
You’d shred your enemies to pieces in an instant!
["Known by All" passive buff: Everyone who lays eyes on you instantly knows your name.]
Uh...
What use was this skill, exactly?
Didn’t seem all that useful!
Yet Chu Overlord had no idea how terrifying the power boost from the “Known by All” buff would become!
