Chapter 3: Lying Down and Awakening Armament Haki
[Congratulations to the host for a successful investment! Gains: Endurance +2, Strength +2, Speed +2...]
Over the past six months, Jello has been hearing these system prompts all the time.
Lying on a chair to rest, Jello looked at Yamato who was sweating and working hard in the sunset, and couldn't help but reminisce about his lost youth.
An unforgettable historical epic.
"199."
"200!"
“Huhuhuhu, finally finished, 200 push-ups!”
"Today's exercise goals have all been completed, and I will grow taller tomorrow!"
The little Loli who got up from the ground was sweating profusely, with a sweet smile on her face, feeling happy about her progress and changes.
In fact, Yamato can clearly feel that she is growing taller little by little, and this positive feedback is the source of her self-discipline.
But Yamato would never have thought that since she was in the growth and development period, even if she didn't exercise, her height would increase as she got older.
"By the way, let's see if that guy Jello has kept our promise."
Yamato suddenly thought of something, and like a thief, he secretly glanced in the direction of Jello with the corner of his eyes, fearing that he would be discovered.
Yamato breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Zero was playing badly again today.
"Yamato, you were caught observing me again!"
Jello's voice suddenly sounded, scaring Yamato, who was acting like a thief, and he was startled.
"Nonsense, no!"
"Although Yamato admits that Zero is somewhat good-looking, Yamato doesn't like Zero, so how could he secretly look at him!"
Yamato quickly argued with a red face.
His cute sweaty look made it hard to tell whether it was because he couldn't lie or because he was too tired after exercise.
"........"
"Yamato, take a shower and relax first, we'll have dinner together soon."
Jello stood up from his chair without exposing Yamato's lie.
"Mmm Good!"
Yamato nodded obediently and trotted behind Jello.
"Hehe, Jello is a little bit stupid, and he is always fooled by Yamato."
Yamato thought secretly.
Arriving at the courtyard where Jello lived, Yamato couldn't wait to rush to the bath.
She quickly took off her clothes and jumped into the bath water that Jello had prepared for her in advance.
Steam was rising, and the fatigue left by Yamato's exercise was being gradually eliminated by the warm pool water.
"It's so comfortable to take a bath, doesn't Jello want to join us?"
Based on the principle of sharing good things with friends, Yamato invited Jello who was outside the bathroom.
"Come together? Forget it."
Faced with the little loli's invitation, Jello quickly refused.
Since receiving Yamato's double strength, Zero's body has undergone earth-shaking changes under the correction of the system.
Not only did his face change from a childish look to a full-blown youth, his body organs also began to develop, gradually reaching the level of a twenty-year-old before Jello was hit by the truck. This is the difference between wearing a body and wearing a soul.
It can be said that the investment system helped Zero disguise himself as a three-year-old child in the beginning in order to get closer to Yamato and make investment binding. In essence, Zero's body was still the body of a twenty-year-old before the time travel. (PS: In short, the protagonist is twenty years old, and Kaido and Yamato mistakenly think he is only three years old, which is exactly the opposite of Bonnie's situation in the original work.)
"Okay, Yamato got it."
After being rejected, Yamato replied in a depressed mood.
If Jello doesn't agree now, then let's wait until later. Giving up easily is not Yamato's style.
Yamato, who had no expectations in his heart, no longer lingered in the steaming pool water. He wiped his body, put on a bathrobe and walked out.
At the dinner table, Yamato picked up the crystal clear fat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, letting it melt slowly.
"By the way, Jero, I think I figured out that hard thing you told me about last time!"
“Should beginners use their hands?”
Yamato's words made Zero startled.
Nani?
Jello was full of questions. Yamato had guessed such a secret thing, but it was not difficult for her at all?
"When you eat, just focus on eating and don't discuss topics outside the dinner table!"
Jello adopted a tough tone and tried to brush the matter off.
"Oh, Yamato knows."
After being taught a lesson, Yamato obediently shut up and never mentioned the matter again.
Her keen sixth sense told her that she was right.
After dinner, Yamato returned to his bedroom and tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
"Hard stuff, beginners use their hands..."
Yamato kept muttering while looking at his own little hands, falling into a state of deep thought.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration.
Yamato had an epiphany!
"I understand. What Jello is talking about must be Armament Haki!"
"Father also said that only domineering power can overcome everything in this world."
Then, Yamato tried to use the method Kaido taught her and gathered her domineering aura in her hands.
Soon, Yamato's fair and delicate little hands became black and hard.
She developed her Armament Haki and without saying a word, she punched the wooden bed beneath her.
boom!
The wooden bed broke and tore apart.
"Success!"
"This is indeed Yamato's Armament Haki!"
Yamato looked at the mess of sawdust on the ground and was shocked at his own strength.
"When I see my father tomorrow morning, I must show him this power!"
"Speaking of which, Zero and I study together. If Yamato performs too well, will father put pressure on Zero?"
While being happy, Yamato also wanted to consider Zero's feelings.
"A true Man......."
Zero's words suddenly echoed in Yamato's mind.
"That's not right. I borrowed it from Zero before, and he also knows that beginners all cover their hands with Armament Haki..."
"Could it be that....Zero will always use Armament Haki?"
"He just pretended not to be able to use Armament Haki so that Yamato wouldn't lose face in front of his father?"
"Yes, that must be the case!"
After figuring out the whole story, Yamato was really moved.
"Zero's Armament Haki must be darker and harder, right?"
"No, we can't let Zero have such a hard time hiding. Yamato must also work harder to become stronger!"
Yamato, who thought that Zero had been hiding his strength to consider his feelings, encouraged him and struck while the iron was hot to develop his own Armament Haki.
While Yamato was working on his self-attack and hard work, Jello was lying flat on his bed.
[Ding! Congratulations to Yamato for realizing Armament Haki. The host has gained double the realization.]
The investment system's notification sounded, and Jello turned over.
He tried to cover his arm with his domineering aura, and in just a moment, the whole arm turned black and hard.
"It's Yamato. Yamato is still training and has even developed Armament Haki!"
"Great! The power has been integrated into my body in an extremely easy manner!"
After expressing his feelings, Jello lay down contentedly.
