Janna, the Storm's Fury

Speaking of Black Butler, that was a very old anime.

Maybe many people nowadays had never even heard of it.

But to Kael, it was an anime he would never forget!

Because this anime held extremely profound significance for him.

Even now, he might no longer remember Black Butler's plot and setting very clearly...

But this anime had made him realize...

That boys needed to protect themselves properly when they went out too!

Back to the point.

Looking at this mere C-rank character card, Kael immediately began to deliberate.

"Black suit, butler, demon..."

"Gasp~!"

"This character card seems unexpectedly compatible with Kuro the Black Cat!"

Kael suddenly sucked in a sharp breath.

After all, Kuro's deception of the Marines had already stoked Sengoku's fury, to the point where the Fleet Admiral was willing to offer a Devil Fruit as a reward just to have Kael find him.

And yet now, he had drawn a character card that might have an extremely high compatibility with Kuro.

"This is troublesome~"

Kael smacked his lips, feeling a bit of a headache.

Between a Devil Fruit and a character card, he would definitely choose the character card.

But he had no idea how he was supposed to persuade Sengoku to give up punishing Kuro.

Come to think of it, he had personally stirred up that anger in the first place.

Was this what they called reaping what you sowed?

"Forget it. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. We'll deal with the future when it arrives."

Avoiding pointless overthinking had always been one of Kael's strengths.

After sorting through all his gains, he switched back to the gacha interface.

Looking at the glittering premium gacha machine, his spirits immediately lifted.

Kael muttered a threat:

"System, this is the first ten-pull from the premium gacha machine. If you don't give me something good, you'll seriously crush my enthusiasm for spending!"

"You'd better think carefully!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kael used his thoughts to press the ten-pull button on the premium gacha machine.

In an instant!

A string of colored notifications flashed past Kael's eyes one after another.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the D-rank item: Vertical Maneuvering Equipment!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the D-rank item: Experience Book!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the C-rank item: Greater Experience Book!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the B-rank item: Character Card—Zabuza Momochi!]

[...]

[...]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the A-rank item: Awakening Stone!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the S-rank character card: Janna, the Storm's Fury!]

"Holy shit!!!"

"Is this the power of a first pull!?"

"S! A! B! C! D!"

"Awesome!"

Watching the golden radiance slowly fade before his eyes, Kael was completely dumbfounded.

His hands involuntarily clenched the chair's armrests, and his entire body trembled with excitement!

One ten-pull, and he had hit the jackpot across the entire prize pool!

As expected of System Daddy, I fucking love you!

Unable to wait any longer, Kael opened the inventory system and swiftly scrolled down, immediately finding the S-rank character card radiating dazzling golden light!

This was the first S-rank item he had obtained since activating the system.

And it was even a character card!

It had to be said that S-rank character cards truly differed from A-rank ones.

It was not just the golden glow around the card...

Even Janna's artwork had finally taken on the appearance Kael was familiar with.

A voluptuous white-haired girl lay sideways atop a whirlwind, her legs pressed together, while her smooth thighs were fully exposed from bottom to top.

As the whirlwind swayed up and down,

the scant, cicada-wing-thin strips of cloth on her body stirred restlessly, as though one careless move would tempt people into the abyss of sin.

The moment Kael's consciousness touched the girl in the artwork, the girl on the character card immediately let out a soft moan~

"Ah~"

Then, she extended a slender jade finger to her tender, luscious lips and said in a seductive voice:

"An embodiment of the wind, at your command~"

Holy shit!

That was exactly it!

This was the feeling!!!

Kael's eyes abruptly widened, and he was so excited that he almost did not want to speak!

As expected of an S-rank character card!

It truly was not something ordinary coquettish sluts could compare to!

It was only a pity that he could no longer log into all those websites he had saved. Otherwise, just for that moan from the Wind Girl, he would have had to take care of himself at least once.

"Ah, what a shame..."

The thought that he would never again be able to appreciate the works of those great artists immediately cooled Kael's heart.

When he looked again at the Wind Girl's wildly bouncing breasts, he surprisingly found them rather dull.

"I wonder whether the Wind Girl can be compatible with Nami..."

"They're both rich and generous characters, after all. That alone should add quite a bit of compatibility, right?"

"It's a shame Tiga can't become a partner. Otherwise, with the Storm-Storm Fruit's power, it would definitely be compatible with the Wind Girl..."

"Come to think of it, Nami's perception of wind is extraordinarily gifted too. It probably shouldn't be too far off."

Kael quietly pondered for a while, planning to find Nami later and test her compatibility with the Wind Girl.

Shifting his gaze, he turned his attention to the other items.

There was not much to say about the C-rank Greater Experience Book. Its function was the same as an Experience Book, except the experience it provided had increased from 1,000 to 10,000.

Kael directly looked at the B-rank character card—Zabuza Momochi!

He had no interest whatsoever in appreciating its artwork. It was just a tan, burly man in a sleeveless shirt, forming hand seals with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Hm... There's no Executioner's Blade. Do I need to draw weapons from the gacha machine, or is there another way to obtain them?"

Looking at Zabuza Momochi's artwork, Kael immediately began to analyze it.

"Judging by this pose, he should be like Rukia and let partners loaded with his template learn Water Release ninjutsu?"

"In that case, this character card is extremely suited to the pirate world!"

Kael's eyes lit up.

There was no shortage of anything in this world except water!

If he had a partner who could use Water Release, they might not be invincible, but they would definitely have very few rivals!

During the Paramount War, if not for Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit ability, Whitebeard could have wiped out ninety percent of the Marines' lower-ranking combat forces with a single earthquake tsunami!

It seemed Water Release ninja also received a combat boost when fighting at sea!

"If I remember correctly, Zabuza Momochi's title was Demon of the Hidden Mist too."

"There are only mistaken names, never mistaken nicknames. Gin, who shares the same title, should be compatible with this card."

"Besides, their skin tones are pretty similar. Their compatibility definitely won't be low!"

Filled with anticipation, Kael happily turned his attention to the final grand prize from this gacha pull...

The A-rank Awakening Stone!

There was not much to explain about this item either. It was used to awaken partners.

However...

A-rank Tashigi needed three Awakening Stones for her first awakening.

C-rank Morgan only needed one for his first awakening, but he was not by Kael's side right now.

That was the bad thing about the system—it was not user-friendly at all.

Whether equipping weapons or using items, they had to be physically handed over face-to-face with Kael, then confirmed by him.

The Tiga had already sailed far away, and he did not want to waste time turning back.

"Forget it. Once we wipe out the Arlong Pirates, we'll have money again. I can draw a few more rounds then, and maybe I'll gather all three."

Kael put the Awakening Stone, which glowed with red light, back into his inventory.

Then, Kael opened the captain interface again.

After spending his last 200 million Beli, his captain experience had finally reached 300 points.

And he had directly leveled up into a Level 3 captain.
