Calm down!
Stay calm!!
"I'm gonna beco... Kaido's godfather?" Klein figured—why not?
No.
This could be big.
A ntal image popped into his head—Kaido calling him 'Papa'. Never mind the tone of that scene. What mattered was the title: Father of Emperor Kaido, or Father of the Strongest Creature Alive...
Now that was hype!
That was prestige!
He could even borrow a line: "My son Kaido, destined to be an Emperor!"
No, better yet: "My son Kaido, has the makings of an Admiral!"
Besides…
He wasn't Dong Zhuo or anything.
Adopting a godson or two—what's wrong with that?
He was eighteen, turning nineteen next year. Sure, not married yet, but taking in a son early? Becoming a dad?
Where's the problem?
He'd be skipping the whole romance-marriage-childbirth detour. Years saved.
Genius!
"Let think... what country was Kaido from again? One of the World Governnt's affiliated nations on the Grand Line… the Kingdom of Volvo? Or was it Walmart Kingdom?"
"Damn it!!"
"Why can't I rember such a crucial detail!?"
Klein was internally panicking—but then it hit him: "Wait—duh, I've got the ga! The ga has character bios and lore!"
"Jieh jieh jieh jieh—"
"Kaido, just wait for . I'm definitely becoming your godfather!"
"Even Imu couldn't stop !"
"I said it!!"
"Jieh jieh jieh jieh—"
He rembered Kaido's future height: 710cm.
Who said he was short?
Who said 180cm is cripple height?
I'm standing on the shoulders of giants—everyone's gonna be looking up at !!
Klein made up his mind. "Gotta etch this into my soul..."
So he repeated it to himself three hundred tis:
"Kaido's being born next year, and I'm gonna be his godfather!"
"..."
"I'm Kaido's dad, Kaido's my son!"
"Kaido's my son, I'm Kaido's dad!"
"Kaido's being born next year, I'm gonna be a surprise dad! ×300!"
Perfect.
Locked in.
No way he was forgetting now. Once he graduated, he was going to find him!
If Whitebeard could take in sons, why couldn't he??
He was taking in a son, end of story!
Oh, right.
Can't forget Red-Haired Shanks either.
Another 300 reps!
Next, Klein equipped Wado Ichimonji onto the character Kuina. That sword was practically her exclusive weapon!
As for Klein, he equipped A-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi. Poured in all the upgrade materials—enhance first, ask questions later.
anwhile—
The ga's new update didn't just add nad swords—it brought a ton of new weapons, many of which were character-specific gear.
Like Kaido-sensei's Hassai-kai, or Nami's Clima-Tact, and more.
All available in limited-ti bundles.
Klein opened his inventory again, eyes landing on the Random Talent Chest. He couldn't help rubbing his hands with excitent.
Please let be blessed by the red hand...
That title had to go to Akainu, right? The undisputed red-hand god of gacha.
Talent…
People have argued forever about innate talent vs. hard work.
Klein didn't care. What he did know was that top-tier talents could skyrocket his combat power instantly!
Even at Level 1.
Ti for so gacha rituals—he chanted an incantation under his breath and cracked open the chest.
The icon locked in place!
[Obtained SSS Talent: Flashback Power-Up!]
[Flashback Power-Up LV.1: During combat, if you enter a flashback triggered by dreams, bonds, family, friendship, rage, etc., there is a chance to activate the Flashback Power-Up!]
[Effect Upon Activation: All stats 10%, skill damage …
Crit damage …
Duration is based on Willpower and Physical Fitness!]
[mories are your most precious treasure!]
???
The hell!?
Klein was stunned. "So I can power up mid-fight by triggering flashbacks!?"
"Unleash insane combat strength!"
And that was just Level 1—the stat boost was already insane. Of course, in the ga it only triggered in low HP states.
In real life, probably the sa—basically near-death.
"Hmm..." Klein went quiet for a second. This skill was crazy strong.
Absolutely busted.
A clutch coback move, perfect for those "villain monologue" monts, right before landing a dramatic reversal kill.
Happens in the ga too—turning scenes into -worthy drama.
"Anyway, good stuff. But how I'm gonna reach those desperate situations… that's up to my strength."
Klein really didn't want to be in the kind of fights where he had to rely on "Flashback Power-Up" to survive.
He needed to get stronger!
Strong enough to say "no" to anyone or anything—confidently, without fear!
At the very least, this was a real-deal SSS-tier talent. Maybe not like the "Infinite Extraction" or "Infinite Fusion" talents from other novels…
But this one could level up!
Maxed out, a single flashback burst could push his body beyond its limits.
Unleashing a cosmic explosion of energy!
Killing across levels with ease!
Of course, Klein would rather be so strong that fighting weaker enemies was just him stomping noobs.
Solid.
He wanted to be a solid, reliable guy!
Sure, smurfing was scummy—but man, was it fun!
And the livestream audience loved it.
Of course...
There were also viewers who just wanted to see the strear get rekt and spam laugh reacts.
All about that entertainnt value.
Klein opened his inventory again. Still had a bunch of chests. Next up: the Random Swordsmanship ntor Chest.
"I already hit jackpot twice today. A third ti? The odds are basically zero..."
He hesitated a second—then clicked open!
He already had Golden Lion Shiki as a ntor, though he hadn't yet learned Shiki's technique, Slash Wave. Even if he pulled soone else...
Wouldn't be able to use them yet.
[Obtained Swordsmanship ntor: Dracule Mihawk]
Dracule Mihawk
"Huh???" Klein's pupils dilated. He stared dead at Mihawk's icon on the screen.
Frozen in place.
"Holy—shit!"
You know when sothing shocks you so bad all you can say is "holy shit"? That.
In English it'd be "Oh my God!" or "WTF!?"
Last ti, he had triggered a special Warlords of the Sea event in the ga.
And there he t the world's greatest swordsman: Hawkeye Mihawk.
Too bad the rewards for that challenge were...
Garbage!
Klein had raged at the "dogshit devs" for hours, cursing their ancestors.
But this ti, he actually pulled him!?
Insane!
Absolutely cracked!!
Triple jackpot!!
"Too bad there's no lottery in the One Piece world… otherwise I'd be sprinting out to buy tickets right now..."
But the mont he had that thought, it hit him like a bolt of lightning.
"Lottery!?"
"That's it!!"
"This could work!!"
Klein's heart thumped wildly. What kind of luck was this?
Not only had he pulled multiple jackpots today...
He'd just thought up a killer way to make money.
Glorious!
If he could set up a lottery... and a bathhouse... then later a newspaper agency… maybe team up with that bird freak Morgans...
How could he not make a fortune!?
He rembered: during the God Valley Incident, Morgans had already founded the World Economy News Paper.
That guy was pri UC clickbait material!
Right now—
Klein's thoughts were racing, overwheld with excitent.
He was gonna be rich, no doubt about it!
Maybe even take control of the entire One Piece world economy!
"Whoa, whoa, easy—don't float off. Still at square one here."
Back to the ga.
Now a big question stood in front of Klein:
Should he keep training under Golden Lion Shiki...
Or switch to Mihawk?
Ti to study and master...
The Auto-Attack.
