One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 23, really? Little brother Luo Xia~

Time passed slowly, and at midnight, Rorschach let out a heavy sigh of relief, "Phew! These ten thousand cuts are finally finished!"

Luo Xia plopped down on the ground, still finding it unbelievable. When did he become so hardworking?

He wants to enjoy every day to the fullest.

As Luo Xia was lost in thought, a pink-haired woman with a bright smile appeared before him; it was none other than Zhiyuan.

"Wow, you've got quite the perseverance! Not bad at all, as your older sister, I'm very satisfied."

"Ugh... Sister Gion, I'm going back to rest now, I'm exhausted!"

Before Gion could reply, Rorschach took his knife and walked into Gion's villa.

This was also requested by Gion, who said it was to make it easier for him to get up early for training, and even took it upon himself to assign him a room.

What could Rorschach say? He could only nod; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Back in his room, Luo Xia first took a cold shower, then plopped down on the bed.

"What did the system say at noon? Personal panel? Or what?"

As Rorschach muttered to himself, a small blue screen automatically appeared in front of him, listing his various skills and items.

Name: Luo Xia (17 years old)

Items possessed: Smoke Fruit Fragment x80

Skills include: Elemental Weapon Technique, Gravity Gloves, and a chance to drop shards upon contact with items.

Weapon: Tiger Hunt (fused with Burning Flame)

Ability: Ice-Ice Fruit (currently limited to one)

Task: Swing your sword 10,000 times daily. Completed today! (One-year deadline)

Luo Xia froze on the spot after reading it, muttering, "One...one year?"

"Does that mean I have to wave every day?"

……

Luo Xia waited for a long time but didn't receive a reply from the system, so he simply lay down on the bed.

After seeing the information on the panel, Luo Xia understood his current situation.

Currently, one can only eat one Devil Fruit, and the method to enhance one's power is still unknown.

But does that mean I, Rorschach, can't synthesize other fruits?

Luo Xia chuckled to himself, fantasizing about his future crew. He was overjoyed if everyone was a Natural Type.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and there stood Gion in her pajamas, a faint smile on her face, standing at the door of Rorschach.

Luo Xia hurriedly stood up and cursed, "You wretched woman, you she-devil, what are you doing here?"

"It's so late?"

Gion didn't say anything, but Rorschach was met with a heavy punch that blew Rorschach's brain apart. However, Rorschach was a Logia-type user and was not harmed at all.

"Hmph, can't you show some respect to your teacher?"

"How can you do this? Barging into my room so late at night without knocking and dressed so boldly?"

As he spoke, Luo Xia gave Zhiyuan's chest a sharp look, and he had to admit, it was indeed...

"I came to ask you what you want to learn tomorrow?"

"I can teach you everything!"

"Naval Six Styles, swordsmanship, or fight me!"

Luo Xia curled his lip, "What do you mean by fighting you? I'd rather you just beat me up!"

"But I want to learn Armament Haki, can you teach me?"

After thinking for a moment, Gion said, "Okay!"

"Learn Armament Haki while also mastering swordsmanship!"

"After all, Armament Haki still requires mastery. Some people can learn it in a few days, while others take several months, and some never learn it in their entire lives!"

Rorschach nodded. "Okay!"

"Okay, then you go to sleep first, I'll wake you up tomorrow morning!"

Just as Gion stood up to leave, Luo Xia grabbed her wrist. "Wait, Gion-neechan!"

"What? You want me to stay the night?"

Zhiyuan's words were full of gentleness, but Luo Xia could clearly see that Zhiyuan's eyes seemed to say, "If you dare to say a good word, I'll turn you into a Want Want Ice Pop."

Luo Xia was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, then gave an embarrassed smile: "Sister Zhiyuan is joking."

"However, I want Admiral Kizaru's light. Could you go and get me some?"

"I want to make a batch of weapons to test them out!"

Rorschach could come up with such excuses so easily now, it couldn't be easier.

In fact, he did want to make some weapons.

"Well... I'm not sure if he has any missions tomorrow. If not, I can call him over for you!"

"Okay, thank you, Gion-neechan!"

A charming smile appeared on Zhiyuan's lips, and her eyes became alluring. "Little brother Luoxia, I'm off!"

"You really don't want me to sleep with you?"

"Just let me break one of your legs!"

Luo Xia's lips twitched, and a chill ran through her body. She quickly waved goodbye, "See you tomorrow, Sister Zhiyuan. I don't really need it yet, so you can find someone else who does!"

Time passed by little by little, and soon it was early the next morning.

That morning, Gion kicked open the door and grabbed Luo Xia by the ear, lifting him up.

Luo Xia was asleep when a sudden, sharp pain swept over him. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Zhiyuan, who was already dressed, was holding his ear and looking at him with a smile.

"Okay, I'm not sleeping!"

After breaking free of his restraints, Luo Xia quickly tidied himself up and followed Zhiyuan out of the villa.

Just outside the villa, at the place where Gion had trained Rorschach yesterday, Gion asked, "Let me teach you Armament Haki first, then you can practice swordsmanship!"

"Okay!"

The two found a spot they usually used for gardening and afternoon tea and sat down.

Gion held up his hand and waved it in front of Rorschach. "Look carefully!"

The next second, Gion's entire fist turned pitch black, as if it had been coated with a layer of armor.

Luo Xia looked at Gion's fist with curiosity and subconsciously touched Gion's fist.

[Ding! Picked up Armament Haki fragment x1]

Luo Xia was startled, but secretly delighted. Was this even possible?

Zhiyuan glanced at Luo Xia and saw that he was in a daze. She wished she could punch him right now, but fortunately Luo Xia did not stay in a daze for too long.

"Ahem, I'm stunned! This is amazing!"

"That's right, Armament Haki is just as you can see, it's like coating your skin with a layer of armor."

"Enhancing personal defense can also be converted into attack power, which allows you to make contact with Devil Fruit users and even capture Logia-type users. For example, I could have slapped you just now!"

Luo Xia was both amused and exasperated, but he continued to listen to Zhiyuan's explanation.

"Armament Haki can not only cover the skin, but the most common use is to wrap around weapons, making them less easily destroyed, thereby increasing attack power and defense."

"Moreover, it can evolve a person's famous sword into a black sword."

"The black blade refers to the swordsman's own domineering aura permanently integrated into the blade, making it incredibly hard. This is a swordsman's pursuit and a symbol of strength!"
