"The strong person you mentioned who can predict the future should be the second son of Yonko Charlotte Linlin, Charlotte Katakuri, right?"
"Correct. There aren’t many users who can predict the future with Observation Haki right now. Even among the Yonko, there’s probably only one who can do it," Rorschach nodded in acknowledgment.
"Yonko?"
The other girls besides Reiju looked curious. What kind of people were the Yonko? They were clearly important enough for both Rorschach and Reiju to take them so seriously.
Reiju looked at Rorschach with some confusion. Since he knew about the Yonko, she assumed he had already explained them to the others.
She never expected the girls didn’t even know about the famous Yonko of the Grand Line.
"Ahem. The Yonko are four legendary great pirates. After the death of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, the seas fell into chaos, and the Grand Line became a disaster zone for pirates."
"Countless people set sail in search of the One Piece. In the end, the World Government couldn’t stop this runaway era and drove all the pirates into the second half of the Grand Line."
"That area is now called the New World! In the New World, strong people are everywhere, but among them are four of the most powerful pirate emperors. They are known as the Yonko."
Rorschach then explained the origins of the Yonko. The girls listened like country bumpkins, finally realizing just how vast the seas truly were.
They had heard of Whitebeard since childhood. His name was even used by adults to scare misbehaving kids. Over time, everyone became familiar with Whitebeard’s name. They never expected he was one of the Yonko in the second half of the Grand Line — and was called the Strongest Man in the World.
"I never thought the great pirate Whitebeard we heard about as kids was actually a Yonko," Karina said with a look of realization.
"Alright, that’s not something you need to worry about right now. Focus on improving your strength. When we reach the Grand Line, I’ll find a Devil Fruit that’s perfect for Nami," Rorschach interrupted their awe.
"Huh? A Devil Fruit? No thanks. I think training my body is fine. If I eat a Devil Fruit, I’ll become a landlubber. Who’s going to save you if you fall into the sea?" Nami said, a drop of cold sweat on her forehead as she recalled Karina eating the Devil Fruit. She forced a smile.
"It’s different. My Devil Fruit has no side effects, and the one I’ve chosen for you is the strongest among the three major Devil Fruit types," Rorschach shook his head and explained.
"That’s impossible! Devil Fruit users are humans cursed by the sea! No one can escape the sea’s curse. How did you make your fruit have no side effects?!" Reiju looked at Rorschach in shock. His words had completely shattered her common sense.
Everyone in the world knew that Devil Fruits carried the sea’s curse. Any ability user would become weak and powerless in seawater.
It was also a universally accepted fact that eating two Devil Fruits would cause the body to explode. No one dared to test it.
"Hehe, that’s my secret. There won’t be a second person in this world who can make a Devil Fruit ability have no side effects," Rorschach said with a mysterious smile, refusing to explain how his fruit had no drawbacks.
At that moment, Karina couldn’t take it anymore. This meant she was the only one in the crew truly affected by seawater.
She ran over to Rorschach and hugged his arm.
"Captain Rorschach, tell me too! Right now I’m the only Devil Fruit user in the crew. What if I fall into the sea?" Karina asked in a coquettish, cutesy voice, trying to seduce him.
Rorschach shivered. He really couldn’t handle Karina’s voice like that.
"Fine, fine. Even if I tell you, you can’t remove the side effects anyway. It’s because of my physique. My body erased the Devil Fruit’s curse."
After getting the answer, Karina returned to her seat with a disappointed look.
She knew about Rorschach’s physique — his monstrous strength and stamina allowed him to fight for days without rest. She didn’t think she had that kind of trait.
Reiju clearly didn’t fully believe it, but she didn’t ask any more questions.
"Then let’s start training. Reiju, I’ll teach you how to use Haki. The rest of you, start practicing Shave and Moon Step."
"If you have any questions, just ask me."
With that, Rorschach led Reiju to another open area.
Rorschach asked, "Do you want to train Observation Haki or Armament Haki?"
Reiju thought for a moment and replied, "Observation Haki."
"Observation Haki, huh? That one’s quite difficult. It requires talent to train. But with the training room, you’ll eventually master it. Hahaha," Rorschach laughed, giving her a small warning about the higher difficulty of Observation Haki.
He then took out a white cloth from his storage space and personally blindfolded her from behind.
"Captain Rorschach, what kind of play is this?" Reiju tilted her head in confusion.
Rorschach broke into a cold sweat. What does this woman have in her head all day?
"Cough. This is a prerequisite for training Observation Haki. Next, you need to sense my attacks and dodge them."
Rorschach picked up a small twig and began circling Reiju.
"I see. Blindfolding the eyes to rely on bodily perception to predict attacks."
"Here it comes."
Rorschach swung the twig slowly.
The attack landed on Reiju. She gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound.
They trained like this for the entire day.
Thud.
The attack missed! freeweɓnøvel.com
"Looks like you’re starting to get the hang of it," Rorschach said happily as he looked at the slightly panting Reiju.
"Yes, thanks to Captain’s guidance," Reiju replied with a smile as she removed the blindfold.
The two smiled at each other.
"Let’s go. Nami and the others have probably finished preparing dinner. I didn’t expect you to last this long. Looks like the Germa modified bodies really are extraordinary."
"Well, such powerful physiques always come with some price. After all, I’m not like you, Captain Rorschach, with your natural monstrous physique. But that price has already been removed by you."
"Hehe, I’ll take that as a compliment," Rorschach said.
As they walked, Rorschach suddenly got handsy again. He wrapped an arm around Reiju’s waist and leaned in close.
"Did I hurt you earlier? Want me to give you a massage in my room tonight?"
"No need, Captain. You know my modified body is as tough as steel. This kind of attack will heal quickly," Reiju smiled and refused.
"Hoh? You weren’t shy when encouraging Nami. Are you scared now that it’s just you?" Rorschach tried provoking her.
"Hehe, I have no idea what Captain Rorschach is talking about," Reiju played dumb and turned her head away.
"Fine. I won’t hold it against you this time."
They returned to the dining hall.
Sure enough, Nami and the others had already prepared a lavish dinner.
"Captain Rorschach, we’ve almost used up the food supplies we prepared. We need to restock soon," Nojiko said with some worry as she walked over to Rorschach.
"No problem. Later I’ll hunt a few Sea Kings and restock at Germa Kingdom."
"Reiju, I’ll leave the supplies procurement to you. You know Germa best."
Rorschach patted Reiju’s shoulder. Judge had said to let Reiju handle any matters.
So borrowing some supplies without paying shouldn’t be a problem, right?
