It was a long journey from Alabasta to Water 7, but fortunately, Rin and the others had replenished their provisions in Alabasta beforehand, so there was no need to worry about supplies they could go full speed the whole way.
——
Days slipped by unnoticed.
On this day, the silhouette of Water 7 finally emerged on the horizon.
At this moment, Rin had saved up a weekly pack and several daily packs.
Standing at the bow of the ship, the corners of Rin's mouth curled into a smirk, and a look of anticipation flashed across his face. He spoke silently in his heart: "System, open the daily pack."
Ding! Starting Daily Pack!
Ding-dong – Congratulations to the host for obtaining: 100,000 Berries!
Ding-dong – Congratulations to the host for obtaining: 100,000 Berries!
Ding-dong – Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Ten Power Points!
Ding-dong – Congratulations to the host for obtaining: a Telescope!
Ding-dong – Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Favorability Fruit ×10!
Ding-dong – Congratulations to the host for obtaining...
A series of prompts followed rapidly. As expected, most of the rewards were Berries, but the Ten Power Points and the Favorability Fruit caught Rin's attention.
"I didn't expect the daily pack to actually drop Power Points," Rin muttered. "Only ten, sure but better than nothing."
Then his gaze shifted to the next item: Favorability Fruit.
[Favorability Fruit: When given to a member of the opposite sex, increases their affection toward the host. Each fruit grants +1 Favorability.]
"This thing… actually increases favorability."
Rin was a little stunned. In his past life, he'd read plenty of system novels he knew what favorability meant. To put it simply, if a woman's favorability toward you hit 100, then she'd be completely loyal, willing to go through fire and water for you.
"Ten of these… so that's +10 Favorability. Not bad," Rin muttered again.
The Favorability Fruit looked small about the size of a sunflower seed. Ten of them could be swallowed in a single gulp.
After a brief moment of thought, Rin had already decided who would receive them.
There was no doubt it had to be Artoria. She was the only woman aboard truly worth his attention. Klar didn't count—more like a brother to him. As for Kuina, she didn't even need this kind of thing; she already trusted him unconditionally.
Of course
Even after deciding, Rin didn't act right away. Instead, he spoke again: "Open the weekly pack."
Ding! Opening Weekly Pack.
Ding-dong – Congratulations to the host for obtaining: God's Special Spray ×1.
"…What?"
Rin blinked, a little confused. The item's name alone threw him off.
God's Special Spray?
"What kind of bizarre name is that?" Rin muttered, quickly checking the item's description.
[God's Special Spray: Can be used 10 times. When sprayed on a target, regardless of their status or strength, they enter a 10-minute state of 'Mindless Ranting' they'll insult and criticize anyone they see, regardless of allegiance or logic.]
"…Whoa. That's... actually kinda busted," Rin muttered, now fully intrigued.
Essentially, it turned anyone no matter how dignified into an unfiltered, insult-slinging lunatic for ten minutes.
Rin imagined spraying it on Fleet Admiral Sengoku during a formal navy address. The mental image of Sengoku roasting his own subordinates and calling Garp a muscle-brained lunatic nearly made Rin double over in laughter.
"This won't boost my combat power… but it's definitely a weapon of chaos." Rin nodded in satisfaction and stored the item away for later use.
After all the packs were opened, Rin headed to the ship's kitchen.
His goal: sneak the Favorability Fruit to Artoria.
Of course, he wasn't about to hand it over plainly. Rin planned to mix it into a drink and offer it to her casually.
He juiced some fruit into a refreshing citrus blend and ground the Favorability Fruits into the mixture, making sure the taste wouldn't be altered.
Soon, he was outside Artoria's cabin, drink in hand.
He knocked gently.
"Who is it?" came Artoria's clear voice.
"It's me Rin," he replied.
Moments later, the door creaked open.
Artoria stood there, her refined features looking both calm and curious.
"Rin? What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing much." Rin grinned. "You've been reading a lot lately, right? I made you something to refresh your mind."
He held out the drink casually.
Artoria blinked in surprise. Rin had never brought her something like this before. Still, she accepted it with quiet grace.
"Thank you," she said softly before closing the door again.
Inside, she returned to her desk and set down the book she'd been reading a historical text about the Void Century. Picking up the drink, she smiled to herself and took a small sip… then another… until the glass was empty.
——
Outside, Rin turned to leave.
But Casa popped up beside him out of nowhere, grinning ear to ear. "Captain, where's my refreshing drink? Aren't we best buds?"
"Tch." Rin scratched the back of his head and clicked his tongue. "You're not a girl, are you? If you were, I'd definitely make one for you."
Casa burst out laughing.
