Three years, an invitation, and Sengoku's test!
The boy's name was Era Xiu, a transmigrator.
As for his name in his previous life, that was better left unmentioned.
In short, he had been a webnovel writer who never made it big.
During an intense, nerve-racking writing session, he had unfortunately passed away.
He had transmigrated to this, well...
A place in a world he still knew nothing about!
But that wasn't the point!
After transmigrating to a deserted island, Xiu,
naturally, like countless other transmigrators,
had received a system called the [Inheritance System].
The system's function was simple:
it drew a character's inheritance from across the myriad worlds,
and after he obtained one hundred percent of that inheritance, it would unlock the next character's inheritance!
And luck had always been with Xiu...
Allowing him, on his very first inheritance draw,
to draw an incredibly powerful character-Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto!
Yes, that old man from the world of Bleach!
The founder and Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13!
The founder of the Shin'ō Spiritual Arts Academy!
The strongest Soul Reaper in a thousand years!
And his Zanpakuto
was the blade known as the strongest fire-type weapon-[Ryūjin Jakka]!
Three years had passed since he transmigrated, and Xiu's inheritance progress had already reached %!
[Host: Era Xiu] [Inherited character: Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto] [Inheritance progress: %]
And just now, Xiu had finally mastered the Shikai he had been practicing!
Sengoku looked at Xiu, who had fallen silent,
and gave a soft cough,
pulling Xiu out of his wandering thoughts.
"Oh, sorry. It's been a long time since I last saw another human."
"I got a little excited..."
At Xiu's words, Sengoku's brows furrowed.
It looks like the source of that energy has probably been identified...
But I still need to ask about the specifics...
"Young man, you don't look very old to me."
"How come it's been so long since you last saw another human?"
So Xiu explained how he had come to this island,
as well as how he had trained for three years,
telling Sengoku everything.
Of course, he made up how he had come to the island...
After all, that part seemed to be missing from his memories...
In fact, apart from his name and a few scattered memories,
Xiu knew nothing else.
It was as though his former self had been an idiot...
And an idiot who had been very well protected, at that...
Because those few memories included many doctors in white coats.
So Xiu could only make up a story.
Besides, after seeing Sengoku, Xiu's mind had begun turning!
He wanted to join the Navy!
Although the Navy was full of factions,
with the doves and hawks unable to stand each other,
and plenty of corrupt parasites among them,
compared to pirates, who committed every evil imaginable,
the Navy was the best choice!
Besides, through his conversation with Sengoku, he had learned
that the current date was year, month!
That meant Pirate King Roger would turn himself in this year!
And usher in the Great Pirate Era!
Countless pirates would choose to set sail then!
Whether the Four Seas or the New World, everywhere would be plunged into chaos.
When that happened, nowhere would be safer than the Navy!
Besides, all he did was train and train...
And he didn't like the idea of getting a group together to go down to sea... no, to set sail.
Surely he couldn't imitate Hawk-Eye and buy a coffin lid,
drifting with the wind and currents, blowing along,
and ending up wherever he happened to drift??
After hearing Xiu's story,
Sengoku sighed with emotion.
But to confirm the source of that energy,
Sengoku focused his Observation Haki on Xiu.
"Hmm? Young man, your physical condition..."
"It must be quite good, right?"
Sengoku's gaze instantly turned into that lecher.jpg look.
He kept looking Xiu up and down.
Xiu: "..."
Although the way Sengoku was looking at him was a little strange,
Xiu still suppressed the feeling that made his skin crawl,
scratched his head, and said,
"Well, it might be because I keep training..."
"After all, my swordsmanship is pretty decent..."
At Xiu's words, Sengoku finally noticed
the katana hanging at Xiu's waist.
"This blade..."
As powerful as Sengoku was, he instantly noticed that Ryūjin Jakka was different.
He could also be almost certain that it was the source of that energy!
Still, Sengoku asked no further questions.
After all, everyone had their own extraordinary encounters...
With the intention of recruiting talent for the Navy,
Sengoku clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Xiu, his tone solemn.
In a word: he was posturing.
"Young man, do you want to join the Navy?"
At that, Xiu nodded without hesitation.
"Sure!"
At that moment, Sengoku was still racking his brains to come up with a lengthy speech.
"Yes, I know this choice might be a little diffi..."
"What did you say??!"
The corner of Xiu's mouth twitched, and he had no choice but to repeat himself loudly.
"Old man, is there something wrong with your ears? I said sure..."
Sengoku gave an awkward cough and hurriedly changed the subject.
"Of course, the Navy doesn't let just any riffraff join!"
"As it happens, the warship is still undergoing repairs, so I have some time..."
As he spoke, Sengoku extended his right index finger and crooked it provocatively.
"Come on, let me see how strong you are!"
"Then I can correct the mistakes in your training!"
At those words, Xiu's eyes immediately lit up!
Now that's great!
As it happened, he didn't know just how strong he was,
or, in the world of One Piece,
exactly what level he stood at.
And Sengoku was one of the strongest fighters in the Navy, and even in the entire world of One Piece.
He was more than capable of testing the results of Xiu's training!
