Reward of the mission and Eating the Devil Fruit

-x-X-x-

The beautiful red eyelashes adorning Huo Min's eyes started to shake slightly as he thought she would wake up soon.

Ace was still gently he patting her head, he enjoyed this moment of calm, how wonderful it would be to have such moments whenever he needed them?!

That was what Ace had been thinking the entire time he had held this cute maid, he had already passed the initial shy stage thanks to this opportunity.

Huo Min opened her eyes in confusion, but her confusion did not last long, as she saw the handsome face of her young master.

Although the shape and color of his hair were different and the angle of his eyes, as well as his pupils, were also different, she still recognized the lines and features of her young master very well. And his return to being so young, it didn't help either. The little freckles made him look even more handsome, to Huo Min was her former Young Master who was very handsome, but the current Young Master is the most handsome of all!

She felt like something was going to wet her lower area just by looking at him, especially if he was looking at her with that gentle smile... It doesn't help!

Ace noticed that Huo Min had already woken up, when he wanted to speak he saw that her eyes became mistier the longer she looked at him, her cheeks started to redness, and she looked like a drunk girl.

Ace didn't find any problem with her body so he just kept observing her, maybe until he satiated his passion for a bit of her current figure because she simply too tempting even for someone like Ace who if you asked him in the past about love he would tell you Is it edible...

At this moment, Huo Min got up from her shameful thoughts and came out of Ace's lap pillow at lightning speed, then stood behind him like a typical maid, but the redness of her cheeks betrayed her serious expression.

When she got the whole situation back the first thing she noticed was that the patriarch had already left.

She still did not know if her response and oath had satisfied the patriarch and her young master, she was very nervous, yes after recovering what had happened, it was the tension and fear that made her get out of her lustful thoughts so quickly.

Ace, who wasn't surprised by her incredible speed as a level 10 Divine Origin, noticed her nervousness with a bit of Observation Haki directed at her body, Ace had been honing his Haki for a while so he gradually got used to it.

He looked at her with a very gentle smile before he said.

"You passed the father's test, Don't worry, Min'er."

"R-Really!!"

The blood returned to Huo Min's face as she looked toward Ace with great hope.

"Have I ever lied to you?! Even the father feels guilty for causing so much pressure on you and asking me to apologize to you in his place... Will you forgive the father, and most importantly..."

Ace approached her and grabbed both of her hands that were already intertwined due to her nervousness, and continued his words.

"...Do will you forgive me?"

"Ah!!"

Huo Min looked at Ace's sorry face in amazement, she didn't know what to say, is he apologizing to her? But what did he do? The Patriarch wasn't mistaken, and the Young Master wasn't wrong about her either! So why should he apologize?

Huo Min took a deep breath and then a smile appeared like flowers blooming in spring, making Ace's heart pound just looking at that smile.

"Young master Ace, I am really very happy that I finally managed to get your trust and Patriarch's trust once and for all, this is an award for me that is worth all the pain and tears for, even if I am going to be struck by lightning, I won't blink to get it again." So please don't apologize and the great patriarch should not apologize or feel guilty, I won't belittle me and say I don't deserve it, because I became a member of this family, of course, so don't apologize to me, just let this maid serve you faithfully from now on and no get me off your side, okay Young Master Ace?"

To Ace, it was as if she was looking at him with the expression of the legendary puppy eyes at this moment as if an arrow composed of the element of cuteness was piercing his heart...Damn the memories of the otaku!

"I still need my kind maid by my side, and I don't think I can live my life without you at all, your presence has long been necessary to me, even if I regain my health I don't think I can living my life without you."

Ace could express what was on his mind shortly and simply, but he was only telling the truth, for Ace this world is really strange to him Huo Min who knows so much about him is a great help.

For Huo Ye, Huo Min she is an indispensable presence.

And as for the otaku, well... how could he let such a great maid getaway!

Just looking at her in her maid outfit all day is really all he needs!

Huo Min really wanted to cry when she heard how important she was to her young master, but her young master didn't need a weak figure now.

So she stiffened herself and looked at Ace with a happy smile that was enough to describe her current feelings.

[Specified Mission]

[Description: You are about to experience an amazing transformation after using the bloodline bottle, you know it is dangerous to use a strong bloodline with your weak body currently, but you have no other choice, endure in the situation of destroying and repairing your body over and over and don't die!]

[Mission Status: Completed]

[Reward: 10 Target Points]

"I almost died, and you give me just 10 points?! So stingy!"

After Huo Min hurriedly left the moment she learned that the Patriarch was going to organize a celebration marking her young master's recovery, Ace found time to see the mission completion record, but he wasn't satisfied with the reward at all.

10 points equal only 1% of the chances of achieving his target... He didn't know that the system was already generous enough to give him the full 10 points as the reward for his first mission, but he would only know in the future.

"Well it doesn't matter, let's convert it into a percentage to achieve the main target."

As soon as he said that, the main target's bright window appeared.

[The Main Target]

[Getting a personal dimension portal that can access the world of one piece]

[Target achievement percentage: 0%]

[Target Points: 10]

It was really easy to use this system, just thinking of something he would instantly achieve, just like this.

[The Main Target]

[Getting a personal dimension portal that can access the world of one piece]

[Target achievement percentage: 1%]

[Target Points: 0]

"Now I have 1% and I have another 99% left to return... Will they believe that I am Ace?!"

Paa!

Ace is starting to get really nervous about future things now, so he slaps himself to wake up from negative thinking quickly and it works out really badly.

Ace looked toward the messy room with a puffy face and took out the empty bloodline bottle and needle from the floor and then stored them in his inventory, when he just slapped himself he felt nostalgic for the love fist of old man Garp... He didn't think his slap would be so strong now, he just wanted to calm himself but he had already hurt himself, he did not need to regret the spilled milk now, he should hold it down and shut up. And he hope the swelling will go away, before his handsome look went down the drain in the eyes of his sweet maid if she came back and saw him like that.

"Now it's time to eat the devil fruit, the sooner I ate it now, the more time I have to master it."

Ace took out the silver box from the inventory and quickly opened the lid, looking really excited to inherit Whitebeard's will.

The white and cracked fruit in his hands looked very heavy as if he was holding the last memory of his late father, Ace prayed for his father's soul to find peace wherever he was now, he didn't believe in gods in the past but now that he got great help from one of them, so he is already starting to believe.

After that, Ace opened his mouth wide and threw the fruit into it.

"Cough! Shit, I forgot that it tastes like shit!"

He really wanted to spit this shit out of his mouth, but he squeezed this urge and swallowed everything, eating devil fruits was a real hell!
