7 - Thief Profession is very lucrative

Next day.

William woke up with a yawn inside the same wooden bed , he had found himself on his first day in Foosha Village. He had been renting this room since then but actualy he had no money to pay to Makino before. Now that he had money , he planned to pay the rent.

It did not take long for him to have a shower and get ready. William wore a simple white T shirt and black pants and went to greet Makino downstairs who was already busy cleaning up the bar early morning.

" Good Morning Makino san. " William smiled as he started to held her in cleaning.

" Ara.. Good Morning William kun. I cannot thank you enough for always helping me like this.. " Makino also smiled and went to the counter to prepare some orange juice.

William got busy with cleaning and finished after twenty minutes before sitting at the counter seat and enjoying some orange juice.

He casually gave an eye glance at the newspaper lying near him and could not help widen his eyes in surprise.

" What happened William kun? " Makino asked worriedly as she saw William started choking and coughing suddenly.

" Cough.. cough.. Nothing. I just remembered that I have some urgent to do!" William ran out of the bar and took the newspaper with him.

.

.

.

In few minutes he arrived at his usual training spot in the forest and looked at the news which had surprised him before.

He could not help but smile as he looked at the photo of a person wearing full body black clothes and even covering his face with a black scarf.

The Headline said that Auction House had been swept clean off their treasury in the span of thirty seconds and they even gave him a fancy name Black Phantom Thief.

William actually liked the name very much and finaly understood why pirates and alike become happy with cool nicknames and bounties. In fact he had his own bounty already which was -

Black Phantom Thief

Dead or Alive

13 Million Berri

William did not know what to think about this bounty of his. He was happy that his first bounty was already very high in East Blue but he also knew that his current strength was not enough to match pirates who had similar bounty.

The boss of the auction house must have been totally pissed off to issue such a high bounty.

William placed the newspaper aside after reading the news and decided that it was time to see how much he gained from yesterday's mission.

He was not in a hurry last night and was tired after spending a lot of time erasing his traces so that nobody could find him. It would be bad if the authorities reached Foosha village and William did not want to inconvenience such kind people like Makino san.

' System, tell me the amount of cash inside the inventory. '

' 92 million berri! Does Host whish to convert it to Shop points? '

William could not help but let his jaw drop when he heard the large amount. He did not expect to get so much money from just one auction house in East Blue. After all here expensive goods like Devil Fruits, Named Swords etc were rarely auctioned.

William could only think that he must have looted most of the savings of the auction house in one go.

Soon the shock was replaced with extreme happiness as William could not help but have a large grin on his face.

A plan automatically started forming inside his mind which would make future thefts piece of cake.

William thought for a while and decided to save money for now because he wanted to purchase Uchiha bloodline from Shop.

The reason he chose Uchiha as his first bloodline was simple. Genjutsu!

Most of the people who had large amounts of money in this world were merchants and nobles. And William thought that it would not be difficult to find some of them who were piece of shits and weak willed at the same time.

Genjutsu worked much easier on the target who had weaker mind after all.

Genjutsu along with Medical ninjutsu were two techniques which had great requirements for chakra control especially if one wanted to master advanced level techniques. Coincidently William had perfect chakra control which made him more than talented to practice these two arts.

Having Sharingan would further make it earlier to cast genjutsu too. So William thought that Uchiha bloodline was great choice for his first bloodline.

Besides Uchiha bloodline would also increase his potential by good degree. So the benefits were too good.

William remembered that Uchiha bloodline cost 10 million Shop points which meant 500 million berri. He already had 92 million so it wont take much longer to gather the rest if William tried his best.

Hunting Pirates in this weakest sea would provide him much lesser money than being a thief. After all there were few pirates who had more than 10 million bounty in East Blue.

So William made up his mind that he would target pirates for the purpose of increasing his combat experience rather than getting their bounty and treasures. He would put more focus on gathering information about easy targets from whom he could steal money without hurting his conscience.

Trash nobles were the perfect targets and some shady merchants could make it on the list too. Somehow gathering money for shop points got much easier than he had thought before.

Now that William had money, it was time to purchase some useful skills from system.

William had already decided to focus on his thief profession so he added some skills which would make his job much easier.

Clone Jutsu ( E rank - 100 SP )

Substitution jutsu ( E rank - 100 SP )

Transformation jutsu - ( E rank - 100 SP )

Stealth ( Lv 1 - 100 SP )

Genjutsu - False Surroundings (D rank-500SP)

Aside from these basic rank skills , William also purchased a basic manual on genjutsu ( 1000 SP ) so that he can increase his knowledge about the art.

From today, William had finally started learning some real ninja skills. His purpose was to use them mainly for theft but who cares as thief profession was just too lucrative for him.
