Capítulo 19: Ch 19 : True strength of the upgrade system
Later that day, after obtaining Mother Rosario's sword from Sword Art Online, Rei continuously pushed himself hard, trying to swing the sword.
' Fuck, it is so heavy...'
Based on Rei's current strength, the most optimal way for him to handle the sword was using the two-handed style. However, the plum blossom sword style is a one-handed sword style, and it made it a bit hard for Rei to gain some progress here.
Heck, he sometimes even stumbled himself when he swung the sword as he was not that familiar with it.
" Ouch.."
Rei fell as he stumbled on his own feet when he tried to swing the sword.
It was already the fourth time during the past few hours when he first picked up the sword. However, he had not given up yet.
He kept trying and trying, and only when the night came did a smile arises on his face as he heard a notification.
[ DING!!! You have learned a new skill: Plum Blossom Sword Style (Lv.0)]
As he heard this prompt, Rei couldn't help but feel relieved. From the start, his goal was actually this skill.
He didn't care whether it would be level zero or one. All he cared about was to be able to add this skill into his status, and what was left was to let his system do the wonder.
' System, please display my status.'
[ Name: Rei ]
[ Strength: Average ]
[ Special Skill: Tonguemaster (Lv.2), Yukihira Soma Cooking skill (Lv. Max), Plum Blossom Sword Style (Lv.0)(+)]
That's it.
That was what Rei was looking for, the plus sign next to the Plum Blossom Sword Style.
The first two skills might not be upgradable since they were a gift from the system, but for this one, Rei had a hunch that he might be able to upgrade it.
He looked toward the number of Upgrade Points he had left, and he decided to Upgrade the Plum Blossom Sword style.
' System, with my 11,000 Upgrade Points, just how far could I upgrade my sword style?'
[ For Lv. 0 skill, the upgrade cost is 1000 points, and it is multiplied by two for every next grade with the max level of 10.]
[ The host has 1000 Upgrade points, so the host could upgrade it three times to level three by consuming 7000 Upgrade Points.]
Seven thousand upgrade points, huh? If it was before, Rei would definitely not think twice about doing the upgrade. However, the current him did not have that much of upgrade points.
Still, in the end, he decided to grit his teeth and do the upgrade as he thought that this was necessary.
' Then, please upgrade it to level three for me!'
[ Sure, please wait a minute!]
All of a sudden, bright light came and enveloped Rei.
The bright light felt so comfortable that all the fatigue and injuries were gone in an instant, but that's not all.
The most important thing was the knowledge about the plum blossom sword style that was incorporated into Rei's mind and body.
Just now, he was an amateur regarding swords. But now Rei felt like if it was against Zoro before Grandline, he should possess no trouble.
The process took no longer than a few minutes, and when a few minutes have passed, Rei stood up with a new entranced look.
' Well, now is the time to try my sword style.'
Rei raised his sword, and immediately a lot of knowledge about swords move appeared on his mind.
There were a lot of choices he could make, but for now, he chose to try this one first.
" Plum Blossom 12 Sword Slash!"
Immediately, Rei's body began to move as he performed the sword dances.
At first, his movement seemed to be pretty awkward, but as more time passed on, he felt he could understand the movement better and better.
One slash, Two slashes, Rei performed all the slashes according to the knowledge that he had on his mind as his sweats fell to the floor.
The Plum Blossom Sword Style was not one that focused on one strike to finish the enemies. It was a beautiful sword art that used a lot of combo movement before ending it with one swift movement that targeted the enemy's vital point.
The same case also applied to this Plum Blossom 12 Sword Slash. Rei, while practicing the move, imagined the scene of a person in front of him.
First, he confused the opponent with the bizarre footsteps of the Plum Blossom Style, then slowly make an opening by the first few slashes before ending it with on strike to the heart.
It was a very beautiful movement that even gave the impression of a plum blossom in every sword move. However, the strength behind this move surely could not be underestimated.
Rei finished the Plum Blossom 12 Sword Slash and could not help but marvel at all the movement he had just done right now.
*Swoosh*
Rei tore the air open as he finished the display of Plum Blossom 12 Sword Slash.
" This.... "
Yup, he felt like he was a manhwa character. The impression that he gave right now was clear from a historical manhwa.
It was a very refreshing feeling, and Rei felt like his strength had improved a lot.
Nonetheless, he knew he shouldn't stop now. In the world of One Piece, he had just taken a step toward surviving this cruel world, and he wouldn't stop until he could guarantee his safety and all his future crew member.
Rei placed Mother Rosario's sword in his right hand and took out the Hades in his left hand.
" Now, let's try this.."
