Klein wore a smug grin as he demonstrated proudly:
"Tekkai is strong and hard! Bullets can't pierce it, blades can't cut it!"
"Defense? Top-tier!"
"Absolutely essential for survival on the battlefield!"
"But that's not all. Tekkai has endless hidden uses. It's a blessing for n… a guarantee of satisfaction for won! Unlock your masculine potential to the fullest..."
The way he hyped it up, Tekkai practically glittered in the spotlight, like it was the must-have technique of every great Marine sailing the seas.
Don't have it?
Then you're outdated. Weak!
You belong at the kiddie table.
But when Klein started talking about the other uses of Tekkai, several female trainees blushed furiously, so openly, others muttering under their breath that Klein was "such a perv!"
What a moral landslide...
Still, after Klein's suggestive derailnt, plenty of people couldn't help but imagine:
'If you actually used Tekkai during... bedroom activities...'
What would that be like??
Even if it's not useful now, surely one day it will be!
Little did they know...
Tekkai locks your body in place when activated. Unless you've mastered it to an extre level, you can't move at all while using it.
So yeah—using it in bed? Not really an option.
Still, when you're selling sothing, you never ntion the flaws. That's how you create desire.
"I'm buying!"
"Tekkai's the real deal! I have to learn it!! A real man must master Tekkai!!!"
"The instructor said it himself—a proper Marine needs a strong body. It's definitely not just about personal enjoynt. Klein, can I get a 10% discount?"
"I can't wait to learn Tekkai, hehehehehe—"
"I wanna be a man of steel!"
"..."
Even Garp, Sengoku, and Tsuru were dumbfounded watching this unfold.
The trainees were swarming around Klein, all rushing to sign up.
Not everyone was as focused on pure strength like Garp, Sengoku, or Tsuru.
Co on—how many people really have iron-hard willpower?
Garp muttered with a dark expression, "Won are just a distraction from my Tekkai training!"
Sengoku glanced at the brooding man beside him, only to see Garp's face shift into utter frustration:
"Damn it! Klein's already mastered Tekkai. In our match next month…"
"No way!"
Garp's eyes lit up with determination. He clenched his fists. "No way am I losing to that ponytail punk! I'm gonna train! I still have a month—Tekkai, here I co!!"
With that, he turned on his heel and stord off toward the scrap shipyard.
"I've made up my mind! I'm pulling an all-nighter tonight! So long as I don't die—I'll train 'til I drop!"
Fired up by Klein, Garp couldn't calm down. He needed an outlet.
He needed to level up.
Sengoku followed closely behind. He really wanted Klein to give him so pointers on Tekkai...
But he was broke.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to write Klein an IOU.
Now that the Rokushiki training course was officially open, Klein's daily workload had skyrocketed—but he couldn't have been happier.
Nobody had signed up for the Ultimate Annual Pass yet, but a few trainees had bought the seasonal card. Add in all the other little inco streams…
Today alone, Klein made millions of Beli!!
His biggest haul yet!!!
"With this cash, I can fund over a month's worth of pay-to-win upgrades! Being rich feels amazing!!" Klein practically floated as he walked.
He was feeling light as a feather.
He even started daydreaming:
"Once I show off the rest of Rokushiki, even more trainees will sign up. Stretch it out for a few months... wait for the next crop of suckers—"
"Once the new batch of trainees graduates, I'll be free..."
"Then I'll try to score a Vice Admiral title. After that, bust so pirates, pocket a few bribes, take so 'processing fees'—make a comfy side inco!"
"Next goal: pure gold, hehehehehe—"
"Living the good life? Now that's the dream!"
When Klein first got isekai'd into the One Piece world, before he awakened the system, his only goal was to survive safely.
But now that he had a system?
His dreams had to keep up with the tis! Fighting pirates and risking your life out at sea? Nah. Not Klein's style.
He knew just how dull and joyless that life really was.
He got isekai'd—wasn't the whole point to enjoy himself?
So many beauties out there on the Grand Line—how could he not stop by to check on their wellbeing?
It'd be wrong not to.
This world's cuisine was insanely rich, and best of all—no such thing as "protected species." That ans he could eat whatever he wanted!
Bro, treating yourself well beats everything else!!
After wrapping up the day's training and massage sessions, Klein returned to his dorm, took a hot shower, and plopped into bed.
Ti for his daily TIMI session.
Buy those daily bundles! Open those daily bundles!
Every day, the mission was the sa—snag the discount packs and wipe out all the little red dots on the ga interface.
Klein had a bit of OCD, so those red dots had to go.
Claim offline XP.
His ga character hit level 15—and imdiately, the system kicked in.
A surge of power rushed into his body, enhancing and transforming every inch of his physique.
Klein could clearly feel his muscles and flesh growing stronger.
In the ga, it gets harder to level up the higher you go, but the returns grow bigger too—aning the real-world feedback gets stronger.
He even grew about one centiter taller. In the past few months, he'd gained several.
He really hoped those centiters were in the right places.
Cough cough...
Anyway, back on topic.
[Feature Unlocked: Faction System!]
Another new feature unlocked. Klein's face twitched. New features always ant new ways to drain his wallet.
Following the in-ga guide...
He opened the "Faction" screen. One side was a snowy wasteland. The other, molten lava.
Only two faction choices: Pirate Faction or Marine Faction.
No options for national forces, bounty hunters, or the underworld.
Klein checked the descriptions:
Pirates form their own crews and set out to sea. You can recruit crewmates at the tavern and train them.
Clear Marine missions and challenge pirate stages to raise your bounty, gain experience, earn loot, and unlock titles, etc.
Titles included, but weren't limited to: "Supernova," "Warlord of the Sea," "Emperor of the Sea," and "Pirate King!"
On the other hand, Marine faction was about catching pirates, doing quests, earning military rit, rising in rank, and recruiting fellow Marine fighters. Sa deal—XP, items, titles.
But titles were all military ranks—the usual Marine hierarchy.
"I'm already a Marine in real life. Picking the sa in-ga sounds boring. Pirate Faction it is," Klein decided.
[You have chosen: Pirate Faction]
[Na your pirate crew:]
"Hmm... what should I call it?"
"Naming stuff is so hard for soone like —ugh—"
Ding!
"I got it! Let's go with: The Amazon Pirates."
"Except for , every crew mber has to be a girl!! Also... let's just say this 'Amazon' isn't only about won, hehehehe—"
"Why? Because I'm a man, that's why."
Sure, it's just a ga, but part of the fun is building your collection, right?
Klein had no interest in sailing around with a bunch of weirdos. Especially...
Newhumans. (You know the ones.)
