"Zelas, take this, Mountain Splitter!" Andy suddenly spun around and leaped, bringing his blade down on Zelas with unstoppable momentum.
Seeing this, Zelas quickly raised his sword to block. "Clang!" Under Andy's full-force strike, both their weapons snapped. The residual force of Andy's attack struck Zelas in the shoulder, and a blood-curdling scream echoed through the forest.
"Ah! Bastard!" Zelas was in unbearable pain. Like a maddened beast, he gripped Andy tightly with his left hand, then flung him with all his might, sending him crashing into a thick tree trunk like a broken kite.
After Andy's body violently collided with the tree trunk, he fell heavily to the ground, a mouthful of crimson blood involuntarily spurting from his mouth. He immediately got up, but what he saw was Zelas's fleeing figure. Zelas was scared; he had only enjoyed less than two and a half years of a carefree life and didn't want to die now.
Andy's eyes were filled with disbelief. Zelas had actually chosen to flee. His own injuries were even more severe than Zelas's. But now was not the time to think about such things. Enduring the sharp pain in his body, he quickly pulled out a sniper rifle from his system space. He knelt on one knee, aimed at the fleeing Zelas, took a deep breath, and then fired three shots in quick succession.
Zelas, frantically sprinting, heard the gunshots from behind him, and his Observation Haki detected the incoming bullets. He tried to dodge the bullets flying towards him. However, due to his injuries, his movements were somewhat sluggish.
He dodged two bullets, but the last one pierced his heart. A beautiful spray of blood bloomed on Zelas's chest, and just like that, Zelas, his face filled with shock and unwillingness, fell straight into a pool of blood.
"Ding~"
"Bounty Points +23 million!"
"Drop: Observation Haki! Swordsmanship!"
Hearing the system prompt, Andy instantly let out a sigh of relief, returned the sniper rifle to his system space, and then lay down directly on the spot. He didn't even want to bother with the wounds on his body. He was so tired, so exhausted.
He summoned the system and glanced at the system panel. Sure enough, an addition option for Observation Haki appeared.
Host: Garfield Andy
Age: 15
Height: 234cm
Physical Arts: None
Swordsmanship Proficiency (Swordsman): 40/100 (Qualitative change will occur after reaching max level)
Observation Haki Proficiency (Normal): 0/100 (Qualitative change will occur after reaching max level)
Devil Fruit: None
Physical Strength: 24 million Berries level (Can add points)
Bounty Points: 24 million points
System Warehouse: 40,000 Berries, various cutlery, various clothes, blankets, quilts, one tent, one sniper rifle, one jet ski.
After resting for a while, he struggled to get up. There was still a lot of food in the system space, and it was time to add points.
"System, consume 4 million Bounty Points to strengthen Physical Strength! Consume 10 million Bounty Points to strengthen Observation Haki! Consume 10 million Bounty Points to strengthen Swordsmanship!" Andy suppressed the excitement in his heart and muttered.
"Ding~"
"Points added successfully!"
"Mmm, this feels amazing! My injuries are healed, not even a scar left. This is great!" Andy was very happy.
When he looked at the system panel again, he saw that his height had changed, increasing by 2cm to 236cm, and his Physical Strength had also become 28 million level.
Looking at Observation Haki and Swordsmanship Proficiency, Observation Haki had changed from 0/100 to 10/100, and Swordsmanship (Swordsman) Proficiency had become 60/100.
It seemed that 1 million Bounty Points could only add one point of Observation Haki proficiency, while Swordsmanship could add two points. To raise Observation Haki proficiency to 100, it would require 100 million Bounty Points, which would have to be done slowly. After all, there are plenty of people with bounties on this vast sea.
With Observation Haki, Andy felt his perception ability had increased countless times.
"Grumble~"
Just as he was about to try out his Observation Haki, his stomach rumbled. Sure enough, his guess was correct. This time he added points after a battle, and his body had consumed a large amount of energy.
Now that the points were added, he had to replenish his energy. Andy immediately took out all the food from his system space and began to devour it, wolfing it down until all the food was gone. Andy only felt about 70% full. It's good to eat a lot; eating a lot proves that the body's potential has also increased.
After all of this, he shifted his gaze to the Tang Heng dao, which was broken in two. This blade had been with him for four… five years, and now it had broken here. His understanding of the way of the sword had deepened considerably, and he had also more or less figured out the system's rules.
Except for Physical Strength, other aspects only appear on the system panel if there's a drop. And if he originally had a skill like his Swordsmanship, the system would estimate the host's proficiency in that skill and add it to the panel. That's why his Swordsmanship column directly started at 40/100.
After putting the broken Tang Heng dao into his system space and changing into a clean set of clothes, Andy walked over to the now deceased Zelas. He thought for a moment and decided to bury him because he wasn't sure if his 23 million Berries could be exchanged. After all, Zelas was now a mayor with a legal identity. After finishing these tasks, Andy headed back towards the city.
On the streets of Sagamia, in a dark alley, Nico Robin had also returned. She had originally thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place, but after arriving here, she suddenly felt that something was not quite right. Sagamia seemed to have become even more chaotic. What on earth happened?
"Who!" Suddenly, Nico Robin, like a startled little rabbit, sharply turned her head, her hands quickly ready to launch an attack.
"It's me." Andy jumped down from the rooftop. Thankfully, he had Observation Haki, otherwise he might not have found Robin.
"Andy? Why are you here too?" Robin asked with a surprised look.
"I was going to ask you that. Why did you run back to Sagamia again? They're looking for you everywhere now!" Andy retorted as he walked toward Robin.
Seeing that it was Andy, Robin finally lowered her guard. "It's the darkest under the lamp, but I didn't expect that the entire Sagamia gang would be searching for my whereabouts, and now they seem even more anxious than during the day," Robin said with some helplessness.
"That... they're so anxious now... it might be related to me," Andy said somewhat sheepishly.
"Related to you?" Robin looked at Andy with deep confusion. One look was enough; she now felt that Andy's body seemed to have undergone some kind of change again, which made her feel a bit bewildered.
"Because I took care of Zelas…"
"What! You took care of..."
"Shh, keep your voice down." Before Andy could finish speaking, Robin gasped, startling Andy into quickly covering Robin's mouth. "Someone's coming, let's leave first," Andy whispered.
Robin nodded. She felt her face burning; this was the first time an opposite-sex person had touched her lips, and Andy had been too close when he spoke just now. Andy, however, felt nothing. Seeing Robin nod, he released his hand and immediately led her away.
