One Piece: My Spirit

After Kuina's back completely disappeared, Ciel took Marilou back to the cabin behind the dojo to change her clothes, and Marilou also skillfully jumped on Ciel's head, which seemed to be a way for the two to get along.

Charles reluctantly held Marilou on his head in his arms. Although Marilou was only 0.4m in size and weighed about 8.5kg, which was similar to the weight of an ordinary orange cat, after all, Ciel was only a 10-year-old boy, and it was still a bit inconvenient to walk. This feeling made Ciel a bit like raising a cat, but Shire had never had a cat, let alone a Pokémon.

"But now you can be regarded as the same as me, a fellow from Tianya, right, Marilou."

While walking towards the wooden house in the back field, Ciel muttered to himself. After all, in Ciel's original cognition, Pokémon had never appeared in the comics of One Piece. Even in the original reality, Pokémon was just a fictional thing.

But on the contrary, Koshiro, Kuina and others have not had much doubts and curiosity about this Pokémon, Marilou. Now that I think about it, maybe they just think that Marilou is a strange animal. After all, in the world of One Piece, strange creatures are everywhere. All kinds of strange sea beasts alone make people dazzled. Thinking of this, Shire is relieved, at least not bothering to explain the origin of Marilou.

"lilulu?"

As if she didn't quite understand the meaning of Ciel's words, Marilou's round eyes looked at Ciel strangely, but she also seemed to feel that Ciel was feeling a little lonely, so she stretched out her small round and short hand to touch Ciel's face:
"li~lu, li~lu"

"Don't worry, I'm fine, thank you Marilou."

This is not the first time that Marilou has done this. Sometimes when Marilou finds that Ciel is depressed, she will use this method to comfort Ciel.

"Lilu! Lilu!"

"Marilou, do you know? In fact, you were my sister's favorite Pokémon before, so I like you!"

"A lot of surrounding dolls and souvenirs look like you, even in every generation of games I play, I 'find' you for the first time!"

"Marilou, tell me, if you appear by my side, is it also a kind of fate? Or is it a kind of miracle?"

"Marilou"

These words of Charles seemed to be speaking to Marilou, and at the same time seemed to be speaking to himself, and he couldn't help laughing while speaking.

Isshin Dojo is a standard Japanese-style dojo. At the same time, there is a Japanese-style garden with blue bricks and white tiles and dry landscape at the back. Of course, you can also see some wooden stakes for practicing kendo, and there are already large and small "scars" on them. This is where Kuina and Koshiro lived.

Twenty minutes later, Charles took Marilou to a house in the backyard on the left side of the Yixin Dojo, which was connected to the cabin where Charles lived next to him by a stone-paved path.

At this time, there were three people sitting at the dinner table, so there shouldn't be another Marilou.

Koshiro, Kuina's father, is also the owner of the Yixin Dojo. A middle-aged man who always squints and wears round-rimmed glasses always gives people a sense of gentleness and calmness.

At this time, the three of them were quietly eating the dishes that Koshiro personally cooked today, and the plate in front of Marilou was some vegetables and fruits, because everyone knew that Marilou didn't eat much meat, but liked vegetables and fruits, so Shire also reclaimed a small piece of land next to the cabin, and planted some fruits and vegetables.

Ciel and Kuina were eating dinner quickly with an 'expressionless face'. After finishing eating, Kuina put down the bowl and chopsticks and said suddenly:
"Father is tired of teaching the disciples in the dojo. I think it's better for Shire to cook dinner in the future."

Charles on the side also nodded: "Well, I also think this is better."

On the other hand, Koshiro looked at the two of them strangely: "I think cooking is also very interesting, and I still want to continue tomorrow."

But before Koshiro finished speaking, Kuina left after saying "I'm a little thirsty" and hurriedly got up and left, and the same was true for Shire, leaving only Koshiro and Marilou looking at each other.

"Let's continue eating, Marilou."

"lilu~lilu."

After leaving the room, Guina and Charles finally found the kettle and breathed a sigh of relief after drinking three full cups. Then they looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Haha. Chef's cooking skills are really indescribable! Thank you for being able to eat that 'salty and burnt' mackerel and a fried pumpkin as if nothing had happened."

"Haha, I've prepared you mentally before dinner."

"."

"But it's a pity for those ingredients. It's better to keep father away from the kitchen in the future."

Although Kuina has a strong personality and often poses as a "big sister" to face everyone, she is still a 10-year-old child. For example, the tacit understanding with Shire just now will always open up her inner heart unintentionally.

Afterwards, when Kuina was about to go back to clean up her job, she did not forget to say: "By the way, Charles, you have to train hard tomorrow, otherwise I won't show mercy!"

When speaking, Kuina acted like a lecture, but Charles muttered: "Minming is younger than me"

However, this sentence was still heard by Kuina, who immediately snorted coldly: "Why are you younger than me, obviously I am a day older than you! This matter has been agreed a long time ago!"

After finishing speaking, Kuina didn't talk to Shire anymore and left, but Shire really had a headache looking at Kuina's character, and at the same time understood the significance of her doing so.

After Charles was rescued two years ago, he didn't have much memory about this body, and he only knew that his age was about 8 years old. Guina, who was also 8 years old at the time, was very concerned and asked when Charles was born. There was no way, so Charles had no choice but to tell the time when he was born on September 9 in his previous life.

But when Kuina heard it, she seemed to be very shocked, and then she yelled that she was older than Shire. Later, Shire learned that Kuina's birthday was September 9, and on the contrary, she was one day younger than herself.

However, Kuina has always refused to admit this matter, and Shire didn't think much about it at first, but after living here for two years, with the vision and observations trained by Shire in the financial industry in his previous life, he gradually understood why Kuina was obsessed with it.

Maybe the reason is funny, because Kuina just wanted to prove to Koshiro, and her father, that she was no worse as a girl than a boy!
A more extreme understanding is that Kuina wants to cheer herself up through the fact that she is "older than Shire".

From the fact that Ciel was 'forced' to sit on the back seat of the bicycle when he returned from the beach, he could see Guina's inner thoughts to some extent.

As for why Kuina had this idea, Charles guessed that it was probably related to Koshiro, or to this 'One Heart Dojo'.

Because of the rift between dreams and reality, Kuina dreams of becoming the strongest swordsman in the world, but the reality is that Kuina has vaguely felt that as a girl, she cannot become the strongest swordsman in the world. Although Koshiro didn't say it explicitly, she can vaguely feel it from some details.

"Oh, this knot."

There is actually no good way for Charles to solve this matter. It is estimated that if he solves it by himself, it will have counterproductive effects. However, in the world of One Piece, there are also magical fruits such as devil fruits. Maybe there will be a solution in the future.

Then Charles closed his eyes, and a piece of information gradually emerged in his mind:
Name: Charles

Sword Realm:

Basic swordsmanship (++——) lv7
???

???

There is only a small amount of information in this part, which seems to be the character panel that comes with that strange system, but it is too simple.

On the other side, there is a round turntable with a red top and a white bottom, with a pointer in the middle, which is divided into four areas, namely 'props', 'important props', 'movement learner' and the last 'lucky prize'.

And each area occupies a different proportion. Charles roughly estimated that,

Props: 89%
Important props: 5%
Move trainer: 5%
Lucky jackpot: 1%
At the same time, there is a small character display on the side:

Number of draws: 0 times

Number of lottery draws: 2 times

And this is the strange system that Shire mentioned. This system did not exist at the beginning. It was opened on the day Shire officially became a disciple of Yixin Dojo.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, but Charles found that the early improvement of this "basic swordsmanship" was extremely slow, and there was always an indescribable sense of obstruction, so it took him two years to reach the "basic swordsmanship lv7".

But recently, I have an illusion that the feeling of blockage in the past seems to have weakened a lot.

The lottery rules of this system are not directly explained, but when Shire improves his basic sword skills to lv3 and lv6, he will get a lottery chance respectively.

It is worth mentioning that the basic swordsmanship interface in the character panel has also changed accordingly, from the basic swordsmanship (----) to the basic swordsmanship (++——)!
It also seems to correspond to the change in the number of lottery draws obtained at lv3 and lv6, so Charles guesses that the number of lottery draws won will be converted from (-) to (+), and then combined with the lv level speculation of the number of lottery draws:

It should be that every time the level of basic swordsmanship is raised to lv3, lv6, lv9, etc., you will get rewards for the number of draws in the system, so now there should be two rewards left for basic swordsmanship!

And what about those two draws that Shire has already used?It's a pity that Shire's luck is not very good, both lv3 and lv6 can only get 'props', after all, the chance of winning close to 90% is still very high.

The 'prop' reward that Charles obtained in lv3 was the bicycle just now.

【bike】

effect:

1. After riding a bicycle, you can move on the map at a faster speed.

2. You can also skip the sand slope.

Description: A folding bike that can go faster than running shoes.

As for the 'props' reward at lv6, it is the [good fishing rod] that Charles used to fish on the small wooden boat.

Charles originally thought that [Good Fishing Rod] would have some miraculous effect, but after this month of fishing, Charles has confirmed that this is indeed a good fishing rod, at least in terms of quality, and then... that's all, no, there is still the "harvest" of that boat.

On the contrary, that [bicycle] was indeed much faster than walking, and then it was modified by Shire and added a basket and a back seat, making it a commuting tool.

For this result, Ciel fell into deep thought for a while, isn't this just a prop in the Pokémon game?After all, because of his younger sister, Charles had to be very familiar with Pokémon games.

However, Charles was not too entangled in this, and his mentality was quite optimistic and casual.
