Ch 39 : Makino

I am a Rich Second Generation in One Piece Ch 39

A few days later, Seth was still in Foosha village, sparring with Luffy.

" Gomu Gomu no Pistol!!!"

Luffy stretched his hand, hoping to hit Seth, but once again, Seth easily dodged Luffy's attack before knocking him down from behind.

" Too slow!"

Just like a phantom, Seth reappeared behind Luffy. After a few days of being together, Luffy had started to recognize Seth, and he had learned a few points from Seth.

" Damn it… why can't I hit you…"

Luffy pouted. Now that Seth saw it with his own eyes, Luffy indeed was funny and had a special charm, and maybe this was the reason why he was the Blessed Son on this plane.

" Hehe, you still need to train some more, Luffy."

" Humph!!!"

As they got closer, this kind of interaction was getting more and more normal. Luffy was like a childish little brother of Seth.

However, Seth didn't stay here because of Luffy alone.

Rather, he was actually waiting for something.

[ DING!!! Choice 2 Completed.]

[ Defeat Luffy more than 10 times. Reward: Special Raid Suit Blueprint.*]

{Like the one used by Sanji and the other Vinsmokes Children.}

A special suit for battle. In regard to his devil fruit ability, there was nothing more useful than this blueprint to Seth. With this, he could easily enhance his power, as well as the people close to him.

People might say that relying on items would prevent growth, but Seth didn't care. Until the Luffy went into the sea, he would have less than two years, and he would take every chance possible to get stronger.

Now that Seth was able to get his hand on this item, he was ready to leave Foosha village. One thing that he learned these past few days was even if they were main characters, if they were males, the system would not give any counterattack points.

' System, aren't you a bit unfair here? He is the main character, okay.. the main character..'

[ DING!!! The system is based on a Rich Second Generation novel, so it only makes sense if the system only gives rewards for possible love encounters. After all, no one likes male characters in those kinds of novels.]

"...."

*Sigh* In the end, Seth could only let this go. After all, what the system said undoubtedly makes some sense, and a beggar can't choose. At least he still has a system that was not a trolling system, he thought.

After saying his goodbye, Seth turned around as he was about to leave the mountain.

But just as he went down the mountain and reached Foosha village, a figure was seen already waiting for him.

" Here, Seth!!"

Makino said as she waved her hand in Seth's direction.

In just a few days, Seth was able to progress their relationship further, earning him a few counterattack points along the way.

The reason?

Simple. Seth had staged a play in which he looked like a knight in shining armor in front of Makino.

During his second day in Foosha village, Seth had hit a new frustration. For some reason, his charm didn't work in Makino. Makino indeed sees him as a handsome guy, but it was just that. She didn't blush nor get shy when talking to him.

Rather, it felt like she was treating him as a kid.

And here's where the money came into play. Seth used his background as a rich kid, hired some people to make trouble, and while Makino was in danger, he came to save the day.

Of course, Garp has some idea about this, but since he thought that it was only Seth's way to get closer to Makino, he decided to put a blind eye on this. After all, it was all youth, Garp said.

Now, Makino could be said as a maiden in love with Seth, and Seth was really enjoying it.

[ Favorability Panel.]

[ Nico Robin: 50, Nefertari Vivi: 10, Tashigi: 70, Isuka: 70, Mikita: 30, Makino: 40]

Seth smiled and waved at Makino.

"You arrived so early. How long have you waited?" Seth asked with a smile.

"Um! I came a little early," Makino replied meekly.

For some reason, in front of Seth she felt like she had lost all her boldness and became very shy.

No one knows how restless she was last night. As soon as she closed her eyes last night, Seth's face appeared before her eyes. She spent the entire night thinking about what the two would do to spend the day together.

[ DING!!! Makino gains a favorable impression of the host. Counterattack points +200]

"???"

"Ahhhh-hhaaaaaa!" Having not slept well, Makino yawned.

Seth stroked her head, "Have you not slept well last night? Should we continue this date later?t."

Makino closed her eyes while shaking her head, feeling very comfortable when Seth stroked her head.

Upon hearing Seth's words, her face turned completely red because she couldn't tell Seth that she had been thinking of him all night. But she still steeled her mind to answer.

" It's okay.. I want to be with you.."

Her voice got smaller and smaller with each word she said. However, for Seth, who had mastered observation Haki, it was easy to hear what she said.

A smile rose on his face as he proceeded to hold Makino's hand.

" Then, let's begin today's date. Let's go my princess."
