Ch 6: Loopholes?

When Nami woke up later, she found herself lying on the bed of the Going Merry.

Her first reaction was actually to check whether Rei did something to her, but when she saw that there was not much change from her body, she sighed relief.

At least that Rei was still a gentleman, she thought.

Now all that left was for him to complete the agreement.

But then, she blushed when she remembered all the things she had done with Rei before.

' Damn.. What have been into me.. to cum just by being licked in the armpits... am I a pervert?'

Nonetheless, everything had been done, and there was no medicine to regret. All she could do was just to promise herself that she would never do something like that again.

However, everything was too late by now.

Her body had remembered the pleasure given by Rei, and it was almost impossible for her to live without it.

At this moment, Nami still hasn't recognized those facts, so she can still think of something like that.

She stood up as she put back her clothes and went outside of her room, wanting to enjoy the night view of the blue seas.

. . . . .

At the same time, when Nami was enjoying the night scenery, Rei was currently locked in one of the rooms in Going Merry, trying to study his system.

The last mission had granted him about 100,000 Upgrade Points, and Rei could say that it was one hella lot of points.

Still, only relying on that points alone, it might not be enough for Rei to survive in this ruthless One Piece world. Therefore, Rei was currently trying his best to do all he could.

[Host, what are you trying to do?]

From almost an hour ago, Rei was scribbling hard on a blank paper that it even made the system feel a bit weird.

" Hehe, just wait and see. I believe that you would be surprised by this!"

[ ???? ]

For the system, he didn't really take Rei's words seriously. A mere human wanted to surprise a system, what does he think he is.

But the system knew when to keep his mouth. So he just stayed silent and waited for Rei to finish his business.

A few minutes later, Rei finished scribbling on the paper, and with a satisfied expression, he sowed it to the system.

" Hehe, look at this, isn't it good?"

[ Trash training manual for armament haki~(Grade F)]

[ Trash training manual for observation haki~(Grade F)]

[ Trash training manual of plum blossom sword-tyle~(Grade F)]

[ ??? ]

[ What is it? It's not bad, but after all, it is a Trash training manual with an F grade. Using those it would be a miracle if the Host was able to learn the techniques in under a decade.]

The system said in blunt words trying to discourage one bit Rei.

But the smile on Rei's face didn't dim even one bit. In fact, it had got even wider.

" Ckckckck, you need to see the bigger picture. It's true that they are trash, but what if they could suddenly gain an increase in their rank?"

[ ??? ]

" Hehehe, look at this. System, I want to spend my points to upgrade these things."

[ !!!! ]

[ Wait, don't tell me!]

[ DING!!! The cost of upgrading an F-Rank item to an E-Rank item is 10 upgrade points, and to upgrade further, the cost is multiplied by ten times.]

Jackpot!!!!

Hearing this, Rei's excitement soars high into the sky.

He had a hunch that this would work, but he wasn't actually very sure.

But now, after the system confirmed his hunch, there's no need to wait any longer.

" Then, upgrade the three items to B-Grade!"

[ DING!!! The upgrade is complete.]

[ Upgrade Points used: 33330]

[ Remaining Upgrade Points: 66670]

[ Good training manual for armament haki~(Grade B)]

[ Good training manual for observation haki~(Grade B)]

[ Good training manual of plum blossom sword-tyle~(Grade B)]

[ Damn, even I didn't know it could be like this...]

The three scribblings shined bright, and when the glow faded, a new manual has appeared.

The manual was in the shape of a book, and even just by reading its title, Rei could already guess that it was a good item.

" Well, that's three. Let's make another five and keep the rest to upgrade the other things."

[ Wait, wait a minute!!!]

" What?"

The system was certainly shocked, like Rei's prediction. But Rei at this time didn't have that much of a time to play with the system. He wanted to quickly finish writing some more manuals and upgrade them.

[ No, no more doing this. From now on, things like this are banned, and that's final!]

[ DING!!! You have been banned from upgrading self-created manuals]

[ It's not like you couldn't upgrade any manuals. The system had just banned you from upgrading the self-created manual. You could still steal the manual somewhere else, and upgrade the using the system.]

As the prompt appeared, a frown immediately appeared on Rei's face. Even though it was somewhat make-sense, wouldn't this hinder his growth by a bit?

Was this system joking with him?

But before any curse could get out from Rei's mouth, the system had already prepared its answer.

[ Well, according to the rules, something like that should not be possible. But since you have discovered some loopholes, I would let the three by. However, you could not abuse this thing again in the future.]

[ Don't worry though, it's not like I don't prepare any remuneration.]

[ DING!!! Get the item: Thundara Materia from Final Fantasy.]

[ Thundara is a magic spell in Final Fantasy VII Remake and "Episode INTERmission". It is granted by the Lightning Materia, and is the second-level Lightning-elemental spell above Thunder and below Thundaga. Thundara deals a moderate amount of lightning-elemental damage, and since this is the One Piece world, the MP Cost would be changed with physical strength.]

[ DING!!! the 33330 upgrade points have been returned.]

[ Remaining upgrade points: 100,000]
