Old Bomb Fruit

The Old Bomb Fruit is a secret unlockable item/fragment series. Acquiring the first fragment requires completing a multi-step hidden questline spanning the First Sea, involving specific mastery requirements, NPC interactions, wave survival, and combat trials.

Prerequisites & Initialization

Sea: First Sea
Required Item: Bomb Fruit (Equipped)
Mastery Requirement: 125 Mastery on the Bomb Fruit
Cost: $500,000 In-game Currency

Step 1: Summoning the Secret NPC

Travel to Middle Town in the First Sea while having the Bomb Fruit equipped at 125 Mastery or higher.
Locate and interact with the Secrets Master NPC.
Select the “???” dialogue option. The NPC will state: “The mysterious npc will spawn in [X] mins.” (Spawn time is randomized up to a maximum of 5 minutes).
Upon spawning, a server announcement will broadcast: “A Npc Has Spawned In The Big Town”.
Search Middle Town for an entity named “???”, visually represented by a floating black circle.
Interact with the entity and pay $500,000 to initiate the questline. A prompt will display: “Quest Has Started”.

Quest Stages

Part 1: Patience and the Wait

Travel to the Pirate Starter Island.
Locate the NPC named Patience, positioned on the rooftop of a house.
Speak to Patience to receive a timed objective requiring you to remain on the island for 5 minutes. (Players may move freely around the island during this duration).
Upon completion, speak to Patience again to claim a reward of $50,000, which automatically triggers Part 2.

Part 2: Intercepting the Thieves

Patience will task the player with eliminating 3 thief bandits who are attempting to steal chests across the island.
Time Limit: 5 minutes.
Scaling Mechanic: Bandits dynamically scale to match the player's current level (e.g., a Level 1450 player will encounter Level 1450 bandits).
Defeat the bandits and collect the dropped stolen chests, which yield a cumulative total of $30,000.

Part 3: The Rescue of Patience

The third phase triggers automatically, but to progress, the player must leave the Pirate Starter Island and travel to any other island.
Wait for 10 minutes. A global prompt will appear: “Something has gone wrong in pirate starter come now!”
Return immediately to Pirate Starter Island and locate the house where Patience was previously stationed.
Use any attack capable of breaking structures/doors on the front door to gain entry.
Entering the interior triggers a disarmament effect: all items are temporarily cleared from the player's hotbar.

Boss Encounter: Captain Bandit

Inside the house, the player discovers that Patience has been taken hostage by Captain Bandit.

Encounter Mechanics:

Disarmed State: Pick up the Flintlock lying on the ground.
Precision Objective: Fire the flintlock 3 times to strike Captain Bandit's sword directly, ensuring no damage is dealt to Patience.
Quick-Time Event (QTE): After taking damage, Captain Bandit will utilize Flashstep to reposition behind the player and initiate a melee thrust. Players must successfully input the prompted keys on-screen within the designated timeframe to survive.
Resolution: Following the QTE, a cinematic plays where Patience assists the player. Defeat Captain Bandit to conclude the encounter.
