Chapter 2 - (2) Shimotsuki Village

"Avery, wake up!" A young girl shouted, abruptly waking me up.

A yawn slipped from my lips before I responded.

"Hey relax, I'm up, I'm up. Wait who the hell are you?"

I asked as a girl who looked around 11 or 13 years old dragged me out of the bed, I was in.

"Who am I? Stop joking around Avery, it's me your adorable little sister!"

Rubbing crust from my eyes, my eyes finally focused—giving me a clear view of the little girl before me, and she was definitely adorable to say the least. She had long blue hair, light blue eyes, and a healthy porcelain face.

Wait, didn't they say I had no family didn't she just say she's my little sister?

[She isn't your biological sister, though you and her had a brother-sister like bond. Transmitting memories now!]

A second after the system said this, my head started pounding like crazy and information flooded into my head.

"Ugh" I groaned and put a hand on my head, catching her off guard.

"Hey, hey, A-Avery you okay?" She questioned, worry oozing out of her shaky voice.

"I'm fine Aoki, just a little migraine that's all."

Trying to ease her worry, I placed a hand on top of her head, patting her light blue hair—but that only made her worry even more.

"We should go to the pharmacy, the migraine seemed pretty bad…" she said, triying to drag me out the room.

"No Aoki, I'm fine. I'm going to be really busy from now on too, remember what we used to play as kids?"

"Of course, we used to play Pirates! Mr. Koushirou would always scold us because we'd say we'll become the greatest pirates ever, exploring the new world and finding the One Piece!" Aoki laughed, reminiscing.

"Yeah, what if I said I wanted to make a crew right in this very moment. Would you join me?"

"..."

Silence filled the small bedroom, Aoki thought for a fraction—then her mouth finally strung together a sentence.

"Yes, I would. Even if it meant going against the world, I'd join." Deep resolve could be found in her expression

[Congratulations! First crew member gained! Obtained=Unique Ability: Eye of the Pirate King!]

Startled, I quickly opened the system up and viewed the new ability.

[Eye of the Pirate King: Gives the user the ability to inspect the abilities of the person used on by it, such as the Devil Fruit, Combat Style, and even the ability to see if the person could use Conqueror's Haki!]

This ability was just in all, really good! It literally lets me see if a person is able to use the Conqueror's Haki! I immediately used it on Aoki out of curiosity.

[AOKI'S ABILITIES:]

Devil Fruit : None

Haki : Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation) Busoshoku Haki (Armament)

Combat Style : None

Unique Ability : Water Domain (LOCKED)

====

I was surprised to find that Aoki had a Unique Ability, I clicked on it, and it gave me a detailed description.

[Water Domain: A domain of water is created and water related skills are all given a 100% boost!]

This ability was pretty good as well, the system had said it implemented ideas from Earth, while not cannon I'd seen ideas of a Water Water fruit back on Earth so maybe…

With that thought I went over to the [Shop] and went to the Logia fruit section, typed in Mizu Mizu No Mi in the search bar and it popped up instantly.

[Mizu Mizu No Mi (Water Water)] [COST: 1M Berries] [Type : Logia]

So how am I possibly going to make that much money in a short amount of time?

[There is the [Quest] tab in which you missed. Where you can gain rewards such as swords, berries, and even devil fruits if you complete them!]

"Well that answers my question." I said as I opened the [Quest] area of the system.

There were once again multiple sections, such as: Easy, Normal, Difficult, Hard, Extremely Hard, Hell, and Impossible.

I wondered why there was an impossible difficulty and was answered by the system.

[The quest itself isn't impossible, as every quest in some way is possible to complete, Though the vast difficulty of it makes it seem impossible.]

Out of curiosity I clicked on the Impossible section.

[QUEST: Kill Edward Newgate (Whitebeard)] [Difficulty: Impossible] [Quest Rewards: 5B berries, ability to purchase Gura Gura No Mi]

[QUEST: Kill Charlote Linlin (Big Mom]

[Difficulty: Impossible] [Quest Rewards: 4B berries, ability to purchase Soru Soru No Mi]

[QUEST: Kill Izou Kaido] [Difficulty: Impossible] [Quest Rewards: 4B berries, ability to purchase Ou Ou No Mi]

[QUEST: Kill Strawhat Luffy] [Difficulty: Impossible] [Quest Rewards : over a billion berries, ability to purchase Hito Hito No Mi: Model Nika]

[QUEST: Become Pirate King] [Difficulty: Impossible] [Quest Rewards: Name Recorded in History, One Piece, Information on the Void Century, Information on Joy Boy]

I quickly changed sections, I was just really shocked; especially because of the last quest. Information on the Void Century and on Joy Boy?!

I selected the normal section and one quest caught my eye.

[QUEST: Save Kuina and make her join your crew!] [Difficulty: Normal] [Quest Rewards: 300,000 Berries]

Now this is definitely a quest I can complete, since Zoro's nine right now and Kuina is a year older than him she's currently ten. I think she died when she was eleven, so I have a little over a year to train and challenge her, as she'd only join the crew of someone stronger than her.

She can literally beat adults way older than her; she'd mop the floor with me if I challenged her right now, maybe I should make Aoki challenge her as a sixteen-year-old challenging an eleven-year-old would look really weird.

"Aoki, let's go we're headed to Isshin Dojo" I said as I walked out of the door, startling Aoki.

"Why?" Aoki asked as she walked after me as I walked down the stairs.

"We need somewhere to train if we're going to become pirates don't, we? And the next member of our crew is waiting for us there." I said casually as we walked out of orphanage and to the Dojo.

***

"Hey! Mr. Koushirou it's Avery and Aoki!" I said as I entered the Dojo, a bunch of kids in black kimono's greeted us at the door.

"Look, Look, it's big bro Avery and Big sis Aoki!" One of the kids yelled out which caused a crowd to form around Avery and Aoki.

"H-Hey A-Aoki, did y-you get the letter I sent you?" One of the kids said.

"Hmm? A letter when did you send a letter?" Aoki asked innocently.

"Yeah, when did you send a letter?" I said giving a mean glare to the kid who said that—making him shudder.

"U-Umm never mind I d-didn't send a letter." The kid said as he ran away.

"Hmph! Little brat!" I mumbled

"What was that, Avery?" Aoki asked

"Nothing" I whistled.

"What's all the ruckus over here?" An older man's voice sounded out which made the kid's all look back.

"Sensei!" The kids said in unison.

"Mr. Koushirou!" Me and Aoki yelled out in unison.

"Oh my, if it isn't Avery and Aoki. What brings you two here?" Mr. Koushirou asked.

"We were wondering if we could use the dojo to train, we're thinking about joining the marines in a couple years." I lied right through my teeth, though I knew that if I said we were training to become pirates he wouldn't let us use the Dojo.

"Hahaha! You two have finally come to your senses huh? Well of course you can use the dojo" Mr. Koushirou said with a smile on his aged face.

"Oh, here comes Zoro and Kuina!" One of the many kids shouted.

A kid with lime green hair and a girl with short black hair approached the crowd, the kid with lime green hair had a big lump on his head and a few bruises on his arm.

"Lost again? Huh Zoro." Mr. Koushiro asked the boy with green hair

"Tsk! I don't know how she keeps on beating me! I train day and night and I haven't won a single time! And we've already fought over a thousand times now!" Zoro said with his arms crossed, and a wooden kendo sword in his hands.

"1,001 times to be exact Zoro, I always tell you this but it's not only about training." The girl with short black hair said as she slammed her wooden kendo sword on Zoro's head.

"Ouch! What was that for?!" Zoro yelled.

"For not properly greeting our guests. Hey Avery, hey Aoki." Kuina said as she greeted the two of us.

"Hey Kuina! I haven't seen you in a while, you've been stuck in this Dojo with all these boys again, haven't you?" Aoki asked as she ran up and gave Kuina a hug.

"I-I have, but you know if I don't polish my skills this little green haired midget is going to finally win one of our matches!" Kuina said as she ruffled Zoro's hair.

"Midget?! Who ya calling A MIDGET!" Zoro said as he gripped his sword.

"Who else in here has green hair?" Kuina teased.

"Alright, Alright, no fighting you guys. Zoro you already lost to Kuina, there's no point in fighting her again today wait until tomorrow." I said as I tried to calm down Zoro.

"Tch, fine." Zoro calmed himself down and we all walked inside the dojo as we got ready to eat lunch.
