Chapter 20: New members
Upon a massive rock, near a waterfall, in the forest surrounding Fusha village, the sound of cascading water mingled with the rustling leaves stirred by the cool breeze.
The morning wind ruffled the foliage as Satoru, with his deep expression, remained seated upon the vast stone.
In front of him were three objects: a silver dagger with intricate design, an antique pocket watch adorned in gold details, and a magnifying glass with a diamond lens.
With his pale, agile hand, Satoru picked up the dagger, letting it spin between his fingers. "Amazing," he murmured, "this dagger is an art masterpiece."
Mai, observing from a distance, crossed her arms, her ample breasts swaying with the motion, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Are these items genuinely valuable?"
Satoru lifted the watch, observing the delicate hands ticking.
He remembered the moment he found the chest on the pirate ship they had plundered – the ship of the Black Harpoon Pirates.
He had hoped to find gold inside the chest, but instead, he discovered these relics. He knew that while these items weren't the gold he had anticipated, they were worth tens of millions of berries.
The protagonist smirked, his expression dripping with sarcasm.
"Yes, raw gold would've been nice, but sometimes value isn't just in the form of coins."
Recalling the ship of the Black Harpoon Pirates, a wave of nostalgia hit him. The fierce battle, the pirates' surprised expressions upon witnessing his skills, and the metallic sound of the chest opening.
"What do you intend to do with these items?", Mai asked with an inquisitive gaze.
Satoru stood, his eyes shimmering with determination. "I will transform them," he declared confidently, wanting to utilize valuable and memorable objects, his glasses being an example.
Standing, Satoru spread his hands, gazing deeply at a small, glowing energy orb hovering between his fingers. He remembered the souls he had absorbed, those belonging to the Black Harpoon Pirates. The energy throbbed, restless, but due to the purification techniques he had learned, he could sense the energy was no longer as tainted.
He believed he could achieve the same purification effect once he awakens his akuma no mi, but reaching this level would be tricky for now. Hence, the current technique was helpful.
"I succeeded...," he whispered, feeling a surge of satisfaction. "Now it's time to put my ability to use once again."
He focused, summoning the power of the Henshin Henshin no mi, with the orb's energy stretching and transforming. Soon, a bright white light shone fiercely, and three female figures emerged, slowly taking shape.
Each had a distinct appearance and aura, but all appeared as vivid as any human.
The first, in a blue dress with spikes on her wrists and well-defined thighs, had her dark hair tied in twin buns. It was unmistakably Chun Li.
The second, in a green combat suit with blonde braids, was Cammy White.
The last, dressed in a red business suit with sunglasses and combat gloves, was Crimson Viper.
Chun Li looking around in confusion.
Cammy, on the other hand, immediately assumed a combat stance, eyes sharp and ready to strike.
Crimson Viper merely adjusted her glasses, scrutinizing Satoru with a calculating gaze.
Flashing a teasing smile, Satoru said, "Welcome, my warriors, I am Satoru Gojo, your creator. It's due to my unique power that you're here. "
Satoru replied, "We're about to embark on a grand adventure, and I'm sure your assistance will be invaluable."
