C3 Summon the Mosasaur!

"Ah..."

"Pfft..."

"No..."

Screams echoed, one after another.

Ten seconds later.

The Australovenator returned to Esaki's side and lay down.

The beach had become a charnel house, strewn with blood-red remains.

These worthless Australovenators weren't fit to eat—too foul.

"Phew..."

The bloodshot in Esaki's eyes dissipated as he expelled a heavy breath from his lungs.

"With this system, I can't settle for an ordinary life. I refuse to be dependent any longer."

His eyes hardened with resolve as he clenched his fists and spoke with conviction.

He then navigated to the system's summoning interface.

One more targeted summon remained at his disposal.

Options flickered on the summoning screen.

Carnivorous dinosaurs, herbivorous dinosaurs, marine dinosaurs, flying dinosaurs.

Four categories presented themselves before him.

"To grow stronger, I need to earn Belly. The quickest way is to build a power base, but first, I must leave this island."

He weighed his current predicament.

His gaze settled on the pirate ship, and he knew what he had to do.

Marine dinosaurs.

Mosasaur: 10 million Belly.

Other marine options each listed at 10 million Belly.

He scrutinized the profiles of these ancient oceanic rulers of Earth, from millions of years past.

After careful consideration.

The Mosasaur was his choice.

At 21 meters long and weighing over 30 tons, the Mosasaur was a formidable predator of the Mesozoic seas, even preying on the likes of upper dragons and snake-necked dragons.

Though modest in size compared to this world's sea kings, the system offered an enhancement feature, including size augmentation.

But such upgrades came with a price.

"You're the one."

Esaki inhaled deeply and initiated the summoning.

Buzz!

A monstrous behemoth materialized on the beach, the ground quaking beneath its mass.

Its grey scale armor and crocodilian head, a three-meter maw bristling with five-centimeter-long teeth, sent chills down one's spine.

It fixed him with a gaze through basketball-sized vertical pupils.

Name: Mosasaur

Type: Marine Predator

Abilities: Super Hearing (capable of detecting sounds within 10,000 meters in the ocean), Super Smell (able to sense blood within 10,000 meters in the ocean), Death Roll (fatal or crippling bite), Lightning Speed (extremely fast in water)

Rank: Navy Headquarters Major (combat strength equivalent to a Colonel in water)

Ding! Acquired 10% of the Mosasaur's attributes!

As the sound dissipated, his strength surged, his skin tightened and toughened, and his muscles swelled uniformly and perfectly, exuding power.

Esaki, feeling this newfound power, allowed a faint smile to grace his face.

Host: Esaki

Age: 18

Rank: Second Lieutenant at Navy Headquarters

Belly: 0

Abilities: Summoning, Enhancing, Fusing

"At last, I'm qualified to traverse this world."

A Second Lieutenant at Navy Headquarters is safe enough, provided he avoids the perilous Grand Line. The Four Seas are relatively secure.

"Time to set sail!"

Both the Australovenator and the Mosasaur let out a roar, as if answering his call.

...

Upon the ocean, a rickety wooden ship, no more than 20 meters long, cut through the waves at remarkable speed.

Esaki stood at the prow, gazing into the endless sea, when his stomach growled audibly.

An awkward look crossed his face. He had set out to sea too hastily, neglecting to gather food on the deserted island, and the ship was devoid of provisions. A whole day had passed.

"If I don't find a village or town soon, I might just be the first person to die of hunger in the world of the Pirate King," he mused with a wry smile.

Suddenly, the Australovenator behind him rose and called out.

He turned towards the sound, and his eyes immediately brightened.
