Chapter 174: Invest in Kuina, Double the Basic Ability of the Shining Fruit

"Impossible, you can't even try to lie to me!"

"The samurai are the most powerful swordsmen in this sea!"

Kozaburo's eyes were wide open as he gripped the blade that was inserted into his body tightly with his hands, trying to pull the Wado Ichimonji out of his chest.

"I don't know if it's that powerful or not, but it's true that warriors don't feel pain..."

"I'd rather let you die with a sincere heart..."

As Jello spoke, he took out the black knife "Autumn Water" from his collection from the mirror space.

"The national treasure of Wano Country, the black sword that Ryoma's ancestor used to slay the dragon..."

Before Kozaburo could finish his words, Jello raised his sword and slashed it, tearing his head apart with the black sword energy.

"thump--"

With the lower half of his body lying in a pool of blood, Kozaburo was finally able to reunite in hell with the Shimotsuki family, whom he had longed for during his lifetime.

"what!!!"

A terrified voice suddenly sounded, and Jello looked over in the direction of the sound.

This is a sword boy, dressed in traditional Wano country samurai attire, with a crescent-shaped haircut and a pair of wooden clogs on his feet.

If he hadn't been wearing a plain black kimono, Jello would have almost mistaken him for Kozuki Momonosuke at first sight.

"Don't be afraid...I'm not a good person."

Jello pulled the Wado Ichimonji out of Kozaburo's chest and slowly approached the sword boy.

"Please don't kill me, I didn't see anything!"

The sword boy had already been frightened by the murderous aura of Jello to the point that his legs went weak and he slumped to the ground, shaking his head like a rattle.

"You didn't see anything, what were you afraid of just now?"

"Tell me, who is the old man lying on the ground to you?"

Jello exposed the sword boy's lies, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“That’s my master…”

"But please rest assured that I will not avenge him."

Jian Tong didn't dare to hide anything, and his words sounded like he was trying to cover up something.

Hearing the second sentence, Jello smiled slightly, lowered his head and coughed, then continued, "Answer me a question, and I'll give you a chance to live."

"Where is your master Koshiro now?"

Jello used his Observation Haki to look around but did not find Koshiro. He thought that the other party was not in Isshin Dojo, so he asked the frightened sword boy.

"Master has gone sailing. I don't know his exact location, but I am sure that it has something to do with the powerful man in the dark green coat overseas!"

Jian Tong told everything he knew in exchange for his life.

"Wearing a dark green coat... Koshiro is clearly having an affair with Monkey D. Dragon."

"Zoro is Koshiro's apprentice and Kozaburo's grandson; Luffy is Dragon's son and Garp's grandson. It turns out that a group of strong third-generations are going out to sea for adventure."

Jello murmured to himself, and then he felt relieved.

It turns out that to get involved in the world you need a background and influence.

The son of the scapegoat next door who is also a scapegoat is a good example. When Jello saw it, he was numb.

But it doesn’t matter. After traveling here, the ones he killed with one sword every ten years are three generations of strong men.

"Sir, I have answered all your questions. Can you please let me live?!"

The sword boy asked in fear, afraid that Jello would forget his promise.

"Giving you a chance to live doesn't mean you can live. You still have to make a small choice. If you make the wrong choice, you will still die!"

Jello used a cold voice to break the sword boy's unrealistic fantasy.

Then, Jello threw the big sword "Wado Ichimonji" and a piece of red agate worth hundreds of millions of berries on the ground and let him choose in a very democratic way.

If the sword boy chooses Wado Ichimonji, it means that he has murderous intentions and wants to inherit the samurai mantle and avenge Kozaburo, which will lead to his death.

If Jian Tong chooses red agate, it means he is extremely cunning and wants to wait for an opportunity to use the money to expand his power and avenge Kozaburo in the future. This will lead to his own death.

If the sword boy chooses both, it means that he is greedy and will definitely go against you for greater benefits in the future. You must not keep him.

If Jian Tong chooses neither of them, it means that he is born with a rebellious nature. He is against me now, not to mention in the future. I must not let him stay.

While Jello was thinking, the sword boy plucked up the courage and made his choice.

"I chose this sword because it is the most valuable weapon in Isshin Dojo!"

The sword boy looked determined, stood up from the ground, and stretched out his hand to grab the "Wado Ichimonji" on the ground.

Jello's face turned cold, and he used magnetism to absorb the Wado Ichimonji into his hand.

"I gave you a knife and you dared to take it!"

The sound was like the whisper of a devil, a huge sword was unsheathed, the sword boy's head physically rose into the sky, and his torso fell in a pool of blood.

With the sword boy's previous experience as a lesson, in order to prevent the other people in the dojo from living hard in this world with hatred on their shoulders, Jello simply used his sword to help each of them escape from their suffering.

"Unknowingly, I have avenged those bandits who were driven out by the Shimotsuki samurai. I have done a good deed today."

After making sure that there was no one left alive in Isshin Dojo, Jello once again used his Observation Haki that could cover the entire village to find out Kuina's location.

Soon, Jello's eyes lit up and he found the infant Kuina in a house.

With his strong execution ability, Jello started to act and soon came in front of Kuina.

At this moment, Kuina was sleeping soundly in her bed.

Her skin was as white as snow, exuding a faint luster, just like a blooming flower, delicate and tender, her breathing was steady and deep, her face was filled with satisfaction and serenity, she looked like a little angel.

[Ding! The investment target Kuina is detected in front of us. Would the host like to invest in the shares? ! ]

The investment system's notification sounded just in time.

"Invest in Kuina!" Jello said without hesitation.

[Congratulations to the host for the successful investment, and the reward for the investment target Kuina is double the combat power! ]

"......That little reward is just a drop in the bucket for me?!"

While complaining, Jello took out the Sparkle Fruit from the mirror space.

With an extremely delicate technique, Kuina became the user of the Sparkle Sparkle Devil Fruit.

[Detected that Kuina has obtained the most basic ability of the Shining Fruit, the investment reward is doubled, and the host obtains the means to transform the body into an element! ]

As the rewards from the investment system were distributed, Jello tried to elementalize his body, and it turned into light.

"I'll take you away from this place, so you won't fall down the stairs and die here."

"I will train you to become the world's number one female swordsman in the future, and I will not let your life be filled with regrets!"

As he spoke, Jello gently stroked Kuina's head and carefully teleported her into the mirror space.
