Strong mind? Let me try something... Got it! Here we go!
[Strong Mind Permanent Buff (Purple Category): Your MP increases +40% for every level up. Debuff: -20% of BP for every level up.]
Level up? Oh! That's right! I am level one right now, but... How do i level up? It said to accomplish the quests that the system will give me?Perhaps killing monsters would work... Maybe not... Let's see the other functions of the system... Ah! I forgot about the [Free Temporary Random Buff]! Okay time to test my luck again:
Oh... Better store it for now. My Strong Mind's debuff won't let me train efficiently, maybe i should specialize into something else... Like gunshot or even haki... I guess my MP will increase +40% every level, so i think i could do something like that! Wait... I forgot about to check where i am now! Should i go into the forest? But there could be monsters roaming inside... Now that I think about it, I'm in the world of One Piece now! There are monsters everywhere, regardless of where I'll go!
(Now 3° View Point~)
Haruno gets up and looks around himself one last time, hoping that someone was near him and he could ask where he was, but unfortunately no one answered his empty hope. With a sigh, he looks at the forest and starts to walk toward it determined, he just walks in a straight line ahead. Sometimes he could hear a roar or two in the background, but he tried to ignore it and walk faster. After a few hours of walking, he found a house, this cabin was made of tree logs and other materials that Haruno didn't know, truly a fantastic world.
He analyzed the house for some time before entering, the house was an abandoned one. Well, a house in a forest with no one around... Perhaps something happened to the owners or something happened with the house itself... Haruno searched for edible food in the house but he didn't find anything that he could eat. With a sad sigh, he left the abandoned house and walked in a straight line ahead again, the sun still shines high in the sky! So it's okay, time is still on his side.
While walking in the forest, Haruno feels suddenly tired, he stops to take a breather while looking around himself. He suddenly started to think about his newfound status. What could he do? He asked himself, then he decided to try something! He tried to use the SE (Soul Energy) and the ME (Mind Energy)... Obviously, he couldn't use his SE. But... After focusing, he could see in his status that he was using his ME for something that he didn't know. He tried to focus on using his own eyes using his ME to see if something would happen... But nothing occured.
He quickly had to stop because of the severe headache he was starting to feel, but he continued to walk nonetheless. After walking for a few more hours, he found civilization! Look! A villa! Houses! Maybe he could ask for some food? Or should he ask for some job or something like that? While thinking, he passed an old man lying on the ground, a drunkard. He looked around himself to search for other people and finally found a beautiful woman with black hair cleaning the entrance of a bar, the bar had a plaque with its name on it. You could read on it : [Partys Bar].
Haruno's brain suddenly worked at an extremely high speed, he thought about the beach, the forest, the abandoned house and then this village. He reached a conclusion: 'I'm so lucky! Jesus Christ. I was in the Midway Forest?' Makino suddenly felt that someone was staring at her and looked in Haruno's direction. When she saw a boy of around five or six years old, she smiled and approached him. With the most gentle smile one could find, she asked: "Little one... Are you lost?" Haruno woke up from his stupor and looking at Makino as he answered: "Ah... Y-yes..." 'Now that i think about it, my voice is so thin and cute!'
Makino was stunned for a few seconds because of Haruno's voice, but she smiled and slowly asked: "So... Where is your mother? Did you get lost?" Haruno said sincerely: "I don't have one." well, that was true. Haru didn't have a mother in his last world, he just had a father and a fucking bitch that was like a parasite inside his family! Sucking the money frivolously until the end. And when they didn't possess extravagant amounts of money anymore, she left with a happy smile and a free conscience! Makino, with a sad expression, looked at Haruno and asked with a soft voice: "I see... Are you hungry?" Haruno was indeed hungry, he almost ate some random fruits he found in the forest too, so he slowly nodded. Makino smiled and said: "Come with me." If Haruno didn't know that Makino was a good woman, he wouldn't follow her. PSA time kids, remember to never follow someone that you don't know! *cough* Anyway. Makino opened the bar's door and invited the small Haruno inside, Haruno had seen this bar in the anime, but looking at it from his small perspective... This is completely different!
Makino relaxed as she saw the sparkles in Haruno's eyes, such childlike wonder. With a happy smile, she headed toward the kitchen to make something for the cute kid to eat. After looking around the bar, Haruno sat happily in a chair and waited for Makino to come back. Makino appeared after some minutes with food for the cute kid, Haruno's stomach made a huge noise as he smelled what she brought, making Makino chuckle. Haruni ate happily and smiled, he bowed and said: "Thank you for the food! It was delicious." Makino was a little surprised at the manners of the six-year-old boy, but she responded happily: "You're welcome!"
Haruno looked at the sky, it was almost night. He was in a kid's body now, so he needed to sleep a lot more! Makino too looked outside and with a smile, she asked: "How about you sleep here?" Haruno almost cried out: 'Makino! My Goddess! I will pray to you every day of my life!' but outwardly, with a simple and cute smile, he nodded.
Makino showed to him a tiny room with a simple bed, she smiled embarrassed and said: "It's a simple room... Sorry." Haruno shook his head with a 'huun' sound and said: "It's sufficient! Thank you! Ma-... Ma." with a red face Haruno thought: 'Shit! I almost called her name! It's so embarrassing calling her mama!!! Aaah! Someone kill me!' Makino became stunned, she smiled happily and said: "Good Night."
After she left the room, Haruno almost screamed against his bed covers. Tiredness catching up to him, after lying in bed for a few minutes, he fell into a deep and sound sleep.
