Chapter 2: EX-Level Ability Entry [Fishing] (Please Bookmark and Recommend)
[Talent Entry], [Ability Entry], [Information Entry].
These three categories form the true core of the Light Screen’s special power.
In simple terms, Cui Ze can acquire different [entries], thereby obtaining corresponding attribute bonuses, ultimately enhancing his overall personal strength.
A clear and straightforward upgrade path!
Cui Ze’s personal stats are terrible, almost all rated F, with an estimated overall combat power below 5.
His personal entries also appear very sparse.
But appearances are deceiving.
During the three days since his transmigration, the reason Cui Ze survived the perilous “Emperor of the Sea Battleground” was none other than those few entries!
[Visitor from Another World] is the only talent entry Cui Ze possesses, an innate ability granted by his transmigration.
As the name suggests, it’s essentially a "Transmigrator’s Aura," and its effects are remarkably powerful!
[EX-Level Entry: Visitor from Another World] (Red Talent)
[Entry Effect: Permanently grants a two-tier boost to the user’s Luck attribute! The upper limit of Luck attribute is EX!]
[Entry Evaluation: Sorry, transmigrators just have extraordinary luck!]
Even though Cui Ze’s current situation doesn’t look promising, the moment he first transmigrated was truly dreadful.
Compared to other predecessors who arrived in the sea, Cui Ze’s “rebirth luck” was exceptionally bad.
Some predecessors began on secret agent islands, enjoying a peaceful early development period;
Others started as East Sea Navy members, steadily leveling up no matter how careful;
Some even luckier predecessors began with residency in the Holy Land Mary Geoise—
Yes, not as slaves.
In contrast, poor Cui Ze...
On the very day he transmigrated, all he remembered was the fierce wind, towering waves, and seawater saltier than his tears by a hundredfold.
Damn it!
Why was he directly thrown into the Grand Line at the start?!
Couldn’t they at least toss him onto a piece of land to stand on?
Why throw him directly into the sea?!
If not for the boosted Luck attribute from [Visitor from Another World], Cui Ze felt he would have perished and been remade on the day of his transmigration!
Anyway, although forced to plunge into the sea at the start, Cui Ze’s overwhelming luck allowed him to miraculously reach shore and uncover his previous identity.
Cui Ze Felte, sixteen years old, a youth.
Born in the year 1491 of the Ocean Calendar, hailing from a small kingdom in the first half of the Grand Line, a royal prince by birth.
For unknown reasons, while traveling by sea with his family, they were attacked by pirates. He witnessed his kin perish in pirate cannon fire. To avoid becoming pirate slaves, he was pushed into the sea by his retainers and drifted unconscious for days...
Transmigrator + orphaned prince + wandering royal—an archetypal protagonist setup!
Cui Ze thought so, too.
Until he landed straight in the battlefield between Kaido and another top-tier sea powerhouse...
With the [Visitor from Another World] luck aura, Cui Ze’s fortune wasn’t originally that bad.
Under normal story development, upon landing, he should have met another group—“righteous companions”—navy forces landing on the island around the same time.
But fate had it otherwise—before landing, Cui Ze decisively used the one-time “newbie lottery” gift from the Light Screen.
Still brimming with luck before setting foot ashore, he hit the jackpot, drawing an overwhelmingly powerful EX-level divine skill—
[EX-Level Ability Entry: Fishing] (Red Skill)
[Entry Description: Using Sea Kings or other entities as bait, one can fish from the dimensional sea to obtain matching-level talents, abilities, information entries, or miscellaneous items.
The fished entries or items are not limited to the current world and are likely to change with the surrounding sea area and island environment.]
[Entry Effect:
- Miscellaneous fish and sea creatures under five meters yield F-level or below talents, abilities, information entries, or miscellaneous items;
- Sea Kings between five and twenty meters yield E-level;
- Small Sea Kings between twenty and fifty meters yield D-level;
- Medium Sea Kings between fifty and five hundred meters yield C-level;
- Large Sea Kings between five hundred and five thousand meters yield B-level;
- Sea Kings exceeding five thousand meters or intelligent Sea Kings yield A-level;
- Sea Kings themselves can yield EX-level talents, abilities, information entries, or miscellaneous items.
Additionally, defeating opponents with different overall rating levels grants “Victory Bait” of the corresponding quality, enabling fishing for talents, abilities, or items related to the defeated enemy.
Furthermore, one unrestricted Devil Fruit can directly fish out EX-level talents, abilities, or items related to the Devil Fruit’s power.]
[Entry Evaluation: The vast sea is boundless; one must rely on fishing to survive.]
The ability’s description is somewhat lengthy.
In short, the [Fishing] skill allows the user to use “Sea Kings,” defeated enemies, or “Devil Fruits” as bait to fish endless Light Screen entries or magical items from the all-encompassing dimensional sea!
For example, the [Beast Breathing] skill from the world of Demon Slayer, which enhances physical attributes, was fished out from the dimensional sea using [Fishing]!
Though it’s rated F, [Beast Breathing] clearly records subsequent “Total Concentration Breathing,” “Total Concentration: Constant Breathing,” and all eleven sword styles, with the ability to upgrade through training!
Returning to [Fishing].
The [Fishing] skill is incredibly strong—almost overwhelmingly so.
Though it appears as just an EX-level skill, if sufficient “bait” resources are available, it can fish out countless EX-level skills!
Perhaps because of this, after his luck severely depleted upon landing, Cui Ze not only missed the best chance to meet up with the navy but was also forced to endure the terrifying tyranny of Kaido.
Of course...
Cui Ze himself remains unaware of this.
To this day, he still does not know who the top-tier sea powerhouse battling Kaido in the sky is.
He suspects the opponent is likely an unrecorded great pirate...
Before transmigrating, having read all the Wano Country arc manga, Cui Ze held some sympathy for the diligent Kaido.
Not as a responsible good teacher—not quite.
More like a great villain who seeks to rule the world and is not sad to face the World’s Child.
The pity lies in facing a World’s Child who is currently in cheat mode!
And one who cheats in an incomprehensible, illogical, and unreliable manner!
“Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Sun God form”—what an utterly absurd thing???
However, when Cui Ze actually transmigrated into the sea and confronted Kaido, his sympathy for the Beasts instantly reversed dramatically.
Enduring three full days of battle aftershocks was one thing.
What truly vexed Cui Ze was the powerless feeling of being unable to control his own fate!
He hated it—deeply!
If given a chance in the future, Cui Ze vowed to repay Kaido for these few days’ “one-shot grudge”!
As for now...
Cui Ze focused on contemplating the hundred ways to fish with the “Victory Bait”...
During these three days after transmigration, although mostly avoiding the battle aftershocks from the sky, he still managed to kill several zombies.
Each F-level zombie yields one F-level “Victory Bait” to Cui Ze.
Currently, Cui Ze has nine “Victory Baits” in reserve!
Nine fishing attempts in total!
“Seems like today’s luck—”
Recalling his misfortunes and the two destroyed temporary bases, Cui Ze’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
“Well, maybe it’s a bit bad.”
“But!”
He took out an F-level “Victory Bait,” his eyes shining brightly.
“Isn’t there a saying: ‘When misfortune reaches its extreme, fortune begins’?”
Having fished out the good [Beast Breathing] skill on his first try, Cui Ze trusted his fishing luck. He patiently collected nine “Victory Baits” over three days for this very moment!
He liked to make big moves!
Most importantly, the [Fishing] skill was the only way out of his current predicament!

“Let’s give it a shot first...”
Cui Ze whispered, casting aside the “Victory Bait” in his hand.
Using his finger as a rod and his thoughts as the line, an invisible fishing rod stirred ripples in the void.
He held his breath, eyes fixed on the fishing line and hook crossing dimensions, watching as it accurately hooked an item from the dimensional sea.
Cui Ze retracted his arm, and the Light Screen displayed today’s first “catch”—
[This Fishing Yield Type: Item]
[Unremarkable Item: Tanjiro Kamado’s Rice Ball]
[Item Origin: Demon Slayer]
[Item Description: A rice ball hand-formed by Tanjiro Kamado, large, soft, white, and warm]
[Item Effect: Fills the stomach]
[Item Evaluation: Honestly, it’s just an ordinary rice ball; what did you expect?]
“...?”
Cui Ze tilted his head, his previously bright eyes now showing confusion.
An upgradable [Beast Breathing] skill...
And an unremarkable [Tanjiro Kamado’s Rice Ball]...
Isn’t the gap between these two a little too wide?
“That’s not right... It shouldn’t be like this... Today’s luck does seem pretty bad... But... maybe... maybe this is just the warm-up?”
His fingers twitched slightly as he opened the Light Screen, deducting the recently used bait, leaving eight remaining.
The [Fishing] skill has a hidden feature: low-quality bait can be fused together to create higher-quality bait.
Cui Ze’s eight F-level “Victory Baits,” all from the lowest-tier zombies, could just be combined into one lowest-tier E-level “Victory Bait.”
After hesitating for a moment, Cui Ze gulped some red wine, his eyes reddening slightly like a gambler about to go all-in.
A fisherman never trusts tears.
“Cheers! Go big or go home!”
Having made up his mind, Cui Ze fused eight F-level “Victory Baits” into one new E-level bait and immediately cast his line again.
Using his finger as the rod, his thoughts as the line—fish on!
“The goddess of luck is—”
[This Fishing Yield Type: Item]
[E-Level Item: Nezuko Kamado’s Bamboo Muzzle]
[Item Origin: Demon Slayer]
[Item Description: The bamboo muzzle constantly worn by the demonized girl Nezuko Kamado, filled with her sweet saliva]
[Item Effect:
1. Wearing the muzzle allows a very poor cosplay of the character;
2. The saliva inside, infused with the demon girl’s power, has slight healing abilities and offers enhanced healing effects for the specific race [Demon];
3. Quenches thirst]
[Item Evaluation: This flavor is... perverse!]

——
Regarding Light Screen attribute values—rough numerical examples:
Each attribute tier is subdivided into three smaller levels:
F-, F, F+; each minor increment doubles compared to the previous level.
For example, F- equals 1, F equals 2, F+ equals 4, E- equals 8, E equals 16, E+ equals 32, and so forth.
Thus, eight lowest-tier F-level baits must be combined to exchange for one lowest-tier E-level bait.
