Because the cooldown for the next sign-in was quite long, Rorschach didn’t head straight to Loguetown. Instead, he wandered around the East Blue, visiting different cities and villages.
Whenever he arrived somewhere new, he would eat at the local specialty restaurants and buy the recipes from the owners.
He even made a special trip to the sea restaurant Baratie.
There, he spent 50 million berries indulging in a massive feast, completely replenishing his stored energy. Nami and Karina watched with tears of pain in their eyes.
After digesting all that food, Rorschach’s body underwent another noticeable improvement.
[Host: Rorschach] [Strength: A] [Agility: B] [Spirit: B-] [Skills: Swordsmanship – B-, Armament Haki – C, Observation Haki – C, Conqueror’s Haki – C, Marine Six Styles – Shave – C, Moon Step – C] [Devil Fruit: Float-Float Fruit – B] [Talent: Steel Balloon] [Equipment: Karamatsu, Sakura Ju] [Overall Evaluation: Navy Elite Vice Admiral-level combat power! You can now stand firmly on the Grand Line.]
Rorschach felt that the more he ate, the stronger his body became. The stored energy seemed to be slowly transforming his physique.
The most obvious change was that all three main stats had increased by a sub-rank, and his Swordsmanship had slowly reached B-.
With his current overall strength, he could hold his own in the seas, but he was still far from being able to challenge the major powers. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
He was eager to improve his Conqueror’s Haki, but that ability couldn’t be trained normally — it only grew along with his own spirit and willpower.
He still needed to focus on raising his other skills.
"Nami, did the chefs at Baratie agree to sell their recipes?" Rorschach asked lazily as Nami returned from outside. He hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"That perverted cook was easy to handle. I just said I wanted to learn their cooking techniques, and he handed over all his recipes," Nami said with an OK hand sign and a wink.
Rorschach grinned and gave her a thumbs-up. Nice one, Nami. You totally mooched them.
These days, besides training, the girls on the ship were most diligent about cooking. Since their bodies weren’t strong enough yet for Shave or Moon Step, their current training focused mainly on physical fitness, but they kept the intensity consistent.
Rorschach didn’t want Nami, Karina, or Nojiko to suddenly bulk up into muscle girls.
Nojiko, however, had taken quite an interest in Rorschach’s swordsmanship. While doing her physical training, she also spent time practicing sword techniques.
Surprisingly, she started using what she learned for cooking. Rorschach was left speechless.
"Ugh, I can’t deal with you two. Anyway, it’s about time we head to Loguetown, or we’ll miss your plan," Karina said as she walked out of the cabin and saw Nami had returned.
After taking the cooking notes from Nami, she began studying them.
All the girls on the ship, including Rorschach, had studied the Advanced Cooking Manual in the training room and reached mid-level cooking proficiency.
Nojiko had the best talent and some prior foundation. After training for a while, her cooking skills had jumped straight to high-level. She had now officially taken on the role of ship cook.
"We’ve got Baratie’s recipes. It’s time to set sail," Rorschach said.
"Where are Nojiko and Kaya?"
He rubbed against Nami, who was leaning in his arms, only to get punched in the face by the blushing girl.
Clearly, she still didn’t have the bold mindset from the original story. The current Nami was much more easily embarrassed.
"Nojiko is still in the kitchen experimenting with new dishes — you know that’s her current hobby. Kaya is in her room taking notes and studying medicine," Karina shrugged, a little tired of their constant flirting.
"I’ll control the ship. You two head back to the cabin. Remember to tell Nojiko to save me a portion of her new dish. I want to try it too."
...
Two days later, they arrived safely at Loguetown.
They had encountered a fierce storm along the way, but Nami’s weather intuition helped them avoid sailing directly into it. Rorschach simply lifted the ship to 10,000 meters altitude to fly over the storm.
[Ding! Sign-In System has detected the target location: Loguetown. Would you like to sign in?]
"Sign in."
[Ding! Reward: Armament Haki Experience Pack] [Ding! Reward: 1 ton of Vibranium] [Ding! Reward: Ark Reactor Technology]
Whoa. This sign-in reward was way beyond expectations.
If he remembered correctly, Vibranium and the Ark Reactor were from the Marvel universe. He never thought the system could pull in technology and materials from other worlds.
He had assumed it would only give modified One Piece items, like the Black Chicken White Phoenix Pill or Storage Space.
An idea flashed through his mind.
He already knew how to boost Nami and Nojiko’s combat power!
The Armament Haki Experience Pack raised his Armament Haki to B-.
Each rank increase brought a massive jump in power. Rorschach felt his Armament Haki Coating and Projection had become significantly stronger.
Even without learning the techniques from Naguri, raising his proficiency would let him master them naturally.
"What are you spacing out for?" Karina shouted at Rorschach, who was standing dazed at the harbor.
"Oh, coming!" Rorschach snapped back to reality and quickly caught up with the girls.
"Nojiko and Kaya are going shopping for food. Where do you want to go?" Nami asked.
"I’ll probably check out the Pirate King’s execution platform and look around. What about you and Karina?"
"Hehe, we’re going to the clothing stores. Since you have nothing else to do, you can carry our bags for us~" Karina said with a victorious smile, immediately latching onto Rorschach’s arm seductively.
Unable to resist, Rorschach agreed right away.
But he would soon regret that decision.
"Isn’t this enough already?" Rorschach looked like a wilted vegetable, completely drained.
"Huh? What are you talking about? We’ve only just started," Karina turned back with a confused look, then covered her mouth and laughed when she saw his miserable state.
"Hold on a little longer. I’ll give you a reward when we get back. Just a bit more," Karina winked playfully.
"We should get a bigger ship too. Let’s check out the shipyard later," Rorschach said.
The mention of a reward instantly revived him. However, he really didn’t want to go through another shopping trip with the girls.
