5 Gacha
(3rd POV)
A figure can be seen flashing on the rooftops of the town; it somehow even looks like it's stepping in the air. The figure continues to move and heads towards the inner forest, which is filled with dangerous beasts that are thankfully separated by a river in the forest.
The figure keeps flashing around, moving at high speed, when suddenly, he spots a forest boar not far from him. He jumps high into the air, readying his kicking pose.
"Rankyaku!" The figure kicks at a very high speed and strength, and somehow a sharp compressed blade of wind comes out of it, slicing through the boar that immediately dies.
The figure lands beside the boar. He's a tall, 130cm handsome guy with greyish-white hair that reaches his shoulders. He pats his hands as he examines his prey.
"A boar for Sister Mira, getto... Hahaha," he says with a laugh.
"Now I just need to bring it back to the orphanage. Let's store it in my inventory first; it won't take much time going there with Soru and Geppo." The boar suddenly vanishes, and the guy also disappears not long after that.
.....
Not far from the orphanage, a figure lands in the alley and looks around, checking if there's someone near him. Suddenly, a body of a dead boar that disappeared in the forest appears again, and the guy just carries it on his shoulder like it's nothing.
He starts to walk to the orphanage. Kids look at him strangely, and even adults give him a puzzled look, but he just strolls through the orphanage halls with a casual expression on his face.
"Sister Mira! I brought back something," he announced out loud with his voice while putting the boar on the table.
"Oh my... What a big boar." A woman in her mid-20s came out of a room. She looked shocked for a moment and then understanding when she looked at the guy.
"Thank you so much, Vanze. You don't always need to do this, you know; it must be hard for you." The woman pats Vanze's shoulder slowly while looking at him with grateful eyes.
"It's fine, Sister Mira. It's not hard at all. I enjoy hunting in the forest, and you've always helped me for these years, so it's just a small thing. Don't think too much about it, Sister Mira, hahaha," said Vanze, looking at his caretaker.
"What a dependable man, hihihi. If people don't know you, they'll get tricked easily. Such a tall and powerful boy is only 8 years old this year," Mira said while examining the boy.
"Hahaha, sometimes being different is actually a good thing. With my look alone, I could bypass age restrictions, you know." He laughed out loud as he heard what the woman said.
"You've changed, Vanze, but in a good way. I'm proud of you, and I think she will be too." Vanze could only respond with a smile, knowing well who 'she' is that Sister Mira is talking about.
"Well, I still have something to do, Sister Mira, so I will go now. See you later, Sister." Mira waved her hand and watched him with a smile as he said goodbye and ran out of the orphanage.
Vanze kept running toward the same alley, suddenly jumped so high, and kept disappearing into the rooftops. He used the same method again, and now he's heading toward the beach where he used to train.
.....
Not far away, on the beach that can only be accessed by going through the forest first, a figure came out of the forest, jumping in the air, and the figure of a boy landed on the beach with a weird pose.
(Vanze POV)
'And... That's what I call a superhero landing, hahahaha.' I tried what Deadpool called a superhero landing, and while it is cool, my knees feel really uncomfortable. Well, I'll never do it again.
[ You look like an idiot, brother. It's a good thing there is no one around to see. ]
'Woah... No need to be harsh to your brother, little sis.' Is she in her period or what?
[ Anyway, congrats for finishing the 2-year quest, Vanze. ]
'Oh right, I almost forgot about it. I never opened the system again after getting that quest.' Now that Seele mentioned it, I remember.
[ Do you want to check your status first, Vanze? ]
'Of course, I want to see the result of my training for the past 2 years. So please show it to me, Seele.' Let's take a look at it, hehe.

'Owwiee... That's what I call progress. If I remember correctly, most of my stats before I started training were F. So much has changed, huh...'
[ For a 2-year self-taught training, it's amazing. You even comprehended Kenbunshoku Haki by yourself last year. ]
'Learning Kenbunshoku was not even on my list; back then, I only tried it out of curiosity. If I closed my eyes and focused my senses while Kamigigan is on, what would happen? Lo and behold, I was able to perceive and listen to everything within a 10-meter radius around me.' It is a surprise indeed. I never imagined it would work.
[ The user of KG in his anime could still see even if he closed his eyes most of the time. ]
'Thanks to KG and adaptability, learning Kenbunshoku has become much easier for me. Now I can perceive and listen to everything within a 30-meter radius around me. It's the same with Haoshoku Haki, and I can use it freely now.' I'll take what I can get. But every time I use KG, my eyes will glow and show a complex pattern on them. Maybe I should buy black sunglasses or a blindfold.
Chotto matte... Am I heading towards Gojo Satoru's template? Damn, I don't want to die by getting chopped in half.
[ It's too bad you can't add more ranges to the two Haki, Vanze. ]
'It's fine; Haki will get stronger the more I grow up and train it later.'
Now for the Rokushiki, I've already learned four of them. I focused on developing them to the highest mastery I could and ignored the last two, which are Kami-e and Tekkai. Well, I can learn them later on.
[ You also have 188× random tickets and 1× blue ticket. ]
'Woah... That's a lot. I know I get one every month for free, but one more every week after I finish the training regime from the quest is overwhelming.' Hahaha BOI! Now I'm filthy rich. It's time for GACHA!!!
[ I suggest you save some of it for later because you won't get as many as it is again now that the quest is complete. ]
'Boohoo... Party pooper... Just kidding, you're right, Seele. I need to save some for an emergency situation. I can only get 1 random ticket per month now, without the rewards provided from the quest.
[ So, do you want to pull the gacha, Vanze? ]
'Of course, let's do a 10-pull first, Seele.'
[ Ding!
Congrats, You've got:
White:
$100,000 belly 3×,
a box full of grape juice 1×,
a hair color spray 1×,
10kg of sea king meat 2×,
trendy black sunglasses 1×,
Captain Jack Sparrow's hat 1×,
Kakashi's Icha-Icha Paradise book 1× ]
'Good guy... Everything is from white rarity. Is my luck really that bad, Seele?' Only belly and seakings meat are useful, damn it.
[ What do you expect, Vanze? It's random. ]
'I don't believe it, again!'
[ Ding!
Congrats, You've got:
White:
$100,000 belly 5×,
A box full of Dorayaki 2×,
Bulma's headband 1×,
An Mp3 full of songs 1×,

'Damn it, pull it again, Seele, but this time do a 20-pull instead.' Come on... Give me at least one from blue rarity.
[ Ding!
Congrats, You've got:
White:
$100,000 belly 5×,
10kg of sea king meat 5×,

A map of West Blue 1×,
Aizen's hair gel 1×,
King's gaming t-shirt 1×,
Joker mask 1×
Blue:
Jack Sparrow's Compass 1× ]
'YES!!! Finally, I got one, hahaha. How about we do another 10-pull, Seele?' I keep rubbing my palms together, feeling excited. One more time won't hurt, right?
[ Are you sure, Vanze? Your eyes are red, you are sweating a lot, and have the expression of a maniac gambler right now. I would like to advise you to stop after this. ]
'Huh...? Did I? It must be the gacha's fault then, not mine. Alright, Seele, here we go.' Okay, the last one. I hope that another blue pops out.
[ Ding!
Congrats, You've got:
White:
$100,000 belly 2×,
a bottle full of high-quality milk 2×,
10kg of sea king meat 1×,
Vegito's outfit 1×,
a Gameboy 1×,
John Wick's pencil 1×,
Lucy's underwear 1×,
Blue:
Busoshoku Haki skill (beginner) 1× ]
'Huft... Save... Even if most of it is garbage, there is always something useful. Can you sort it in the inventory, Seele?' I mean, women's underwear? Like, nani the fuck!? I'm a pervert but not beyond saving like to the point of liking someone else's underwear.
[ Alright, wait a moment, Vanze ]
[ Inventory:
a devil fruit
Rokushiki technique book
a letter
a pair of clothes
White:
$1,300,000 million Belly
80kg of sea king meat
a map of West Blue
a dagger
trendy black sunglasses
..... (More+)
Blue:
Jack Sparrow's Compass
Busoshoku Haki skill (beginner) 1× ]
'Now that's much easier to look at. Oh right, Seele, can you give an explanation for the blue ones? I know what those two things are, but a detailed explanation would be appreciated.'
[ Blue:
Jack Sparrow's Compass
It's an unusual navigational instrument for most people. Unlike an ordinary compass, Jack's compass pointed to what the owner wanted most, rather than mere magnetic north.
Busoshoku Haki skill (beginner)
It is a form of Haki that allows the user to use their own spiritual energy to create, in essence, an invisible piece of armor around themself, providing incredible offensive and defensive capabilities. It can damage a Logia user. (Note: It can only make the user use hardening in some part of the user's body, the user can train it to be stronger later.) ]
'First is Jack's compass, it's really a jackpot, but will it work in this world, Seele?'
[ Of course it will, it is a good item especially in this world. The items that come from the gacha will mostly work fine even if it's in a different world. It'll help you a lot. ]
'Really...?' Let's just test it later, hahaha but for now I don't need to be worried if I want to find something.
'The last is Busoshoku Haki. It's quite a straightforward explanation, so I can only use a little hardening for now then?'
[ Yes, it depends on your stamina and body after all. It will move to your skill set after you use it later. ]
'It's fine.' Let's wait until I'm 10 or 12 before starting to learn Busoshoku Haki because I need to master the last two Rokushiki first.
'How many tickets do I have left, Seele?'
[ You also have 138× random tickets and 1× blue ticket left. You used 50 tickets just now. ]
'Oh damn... I almost did another 50 more pulls if you hadn't stopped me back there, Seele. It's good now... Let's pile this up again.' 50 pulls and only 2 blue? Damn it's better to stop now.
[ Hehe, of course. If not, you'd just gonna pull 100 tickets all at once. ]
I don't have any comment for that.
'My tummy is grumbling now; after a long gacha session, it's finally awakened. Oh why not grill some of the sea king meat that I just got, hehe.' I started to prepare the fire used for grilling the meat, and as far as I know, it is also counted as nutritious food, right?
.....
'Burp... Ah... Now that's what I call high-quality meat, hahaha.' I'm now lying on the beach after I ended up eating 2kg of the meat alone. Uh... I won't move for a while.
'Now that I think of it, my training speed has slowed down since 6 months ago. Everything was so easy, even hunting those animals in the inner forest.' I want to train more like punching big stones, reefs, or whatever it is, but there's nothing big enough here.
[ Your current strength now is enough to destroy your own town if you keep spamming Rankyaku, Vanze. ]
'Why would you say that as an example, Seele?' I give a deadpan reaction to what she said.
[ I'm just saying, if you stay here, your strength will only stagnate. ]
'Hmm...' I can feel it; she's right. It's just that I feel it's not the time yet. Let's just go back home first.
.....
'Is there no one who could see me jumping around the rooftops for so long? Or is it anime logic?' I've been thinking this question for some time.
[ With how fast you moved, I doubt someone will notice you. Only with Haki, maybe they could sense you. ]
'Yeah, I doubt there is someone with Haki in this town. If there is, I would have been caught long ago.' There is a navy branch not far from this island. The downside is there is no one at Smoker's level in that branch, so if strong pirates attack this town, it will be messed up. The good thing is that the navy there is not a Nezumi kind of navy.
I keep jumping around, heading towards my home until I hear something interesting, and I stop moving. I focus my Haki to hear voices coming from an alley not far from me.
"Are you sure about what you're talking about?" The man's voice can be heard talking with a low tone.
"Yes, the boss said he knows it directly from the navy in that base. Now he needs to change his course because of it." Another man confirms what he said. Hmm...
"It must be something big if the navy is giving a notice like that, huh."
"Maybe. Besides, the only thing I know is that the warships are heading towards O'hara."
Oh... A notice from the navy... And warships going to O'hara?
"Well, it's not our problem."
"Yes, as long as our journey is fine. Oh, the boss said don't say these to other people; only our merchant crew knew about it."
"Okay, let's go back first. If we are not on the ships, the boss will cut out our pay."
'Hmm... O'hara, warships, such secrecy, and it is the year 1502. It only means one thing...' And I come to realize what shit will happen next...
[ O'hara Buster Call. ]
