Chapter 96 - Alabasta

Zoro had stood up and declared for more weight to be added, Luffy on the other hand sat there picking his nose, when Zoro saw this he felt that Luffy had done this before. Soren seeing Zoro's conviction started slowly adding more weight, and now the room was at 10x gravity, Zoro fell to the ground and Luffy started to crouch just a bit due to the weight.

[I will leave the gravity like this, you will start training now]: soren

Soren gave the orders and went over to his own corner where there were a bunch of weights, and Zoro had looked up to see Soren lay down on the bench and start pumping, and when he looked at the weight on the bar he almost pissed himself.

[F-f-five Hundred!?... and there's 6 on each side]: zoro

Zoro had saw Soren lifting around 6,000kg of weight and under this amount of gravity must weigh even more. Zoro felt that he truly lacked and needed to train even harder, he then looked over at Luffy who was doing push-ups while he was struggling to even stand.

After a couple of days on the island Soren gave some tips to Sanji on cooking and gave a training guide to Usopp, after about a week Usopp was able to hit a small leaf off of a target that Soren set up from around 300m away.

[Your dad would be proud of you Usopp]: soren

Soren congratulated Usopp on his achievement, and when he heard Soren talk about his dad he started asking questions.

[You know my dad? How is he?]: usopp

Soren started telling Usopp about the times he had spent with Shanks' crew and how Yasopp was always the one to challenge Soren to drinking contests and would always lose, and after about an hour of story time Usopp was seen with tears in his eyes.

[I'm sorry… Did I make you upset?]: soren

[No… I'm not upset, I'm happy… I will surpass my dad in what he excels]: usopp

Soren just gave him a smile and a pat on the shoulder then disappeared back to his ship, Misha was waiting in her room for Soren and Soren felt through his Observation Haki that this was the case so he left Usopp to "comfort" her. And after a couple more days Luffy decided that it was time to leave to the next island, they had met with the giants who had lived on the island and made friends with them.

[We will be leaving Sensei… I guess we'll see each other in the future]: luffy

[Hehe… Yeah, I think I will go look for Ace now]: soren

Soren said this and waved Luffy off, it was also at this point that he checked his status after a long time.

Soren felt that the system was kinda outdated and felt that he wasn't ever getting any quests so he inquired about it to Sakura.

'Sakura, is there any kind of update that the quests can go through?... I never get any quests': soren

{DING!... HOST DOESN'T GET QUEST DUE TO SYSTEM BEING IN (Version 1.0) HOST NEVER UPDATED TO THE NEW VERSION… THE SYSTEM WAS ALSO WONDERING WHEN HOST WOULD ASK}

Soren didn't know that the system could evolve, he thought that the quest tab could just update and give him new missions.

'Yes… Please update the system to the newest form': soren

{WARNING!... DUE TO HOST NEVER UPDATING IN THE PAST THE SYSTEM WILL TAKE EXACTLY 2 YEARS TO UPDATE… HOST WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SYSTEMS FUNCTIONS, HOST WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO USE THE HOST'S SKILLS AND (Inventory)... WILL HOST CHOOSE TO UPDATE?}

Soren thought about it for a moment but decided to update the system as to hopefully unlock better features.

'Yes… Please update': soren

{UPDATE STARTING… BE CARFUL HOST… UPDATE STARTING IN 5...3...1… GOOD NIGHT}

[Looks like I will be on my own for the meantime, but this shouldn't be a problem]: soren

Soren went back into his room and slept on the bed saying he would leave tomorrow, the next day he woke up to something furry laid on his face.

[What the… Oh… My tail grew back?]: soren

Soren had then remembered that unless a spell was cast the tail would grow back, but then he thought of the reason it never grew back in that period he cut it and now.

'Maybe it has to do with the System acting as a form of that magic used by Kami': soren

Soren wrapped his tail around his waist before he started stretching. Soren then went into his training room and started his routine, and after a couple hours he finished and went on deck to head towards Alabasta, Soren wanted to take the long route so he just started sailing.

After a month Soren, Misha and Karin made it to the Sandy Island. They didn't follow the log pose so it took them a little longer than normal and it stopped them from traveling to the other islands. Soren docked the ship and made his way into town, but as he passed a set of wanted posters he could see Blue Reaper's and his own wanted poster, and as he read both he saw that it stated in the poster that both him and Blue Reaper were suspected to be "one and the same". Soren then looked through his inventory for some kind of hood but didn't have one, he then spoke.

'Sakura… Can I buy a… Oh yeah, looks like I will need to find one on the street': soren

Soren stuck to back streets and alleyways, soon he found a torn cloth that was in the street, it looked to be used as a blanket. Soren grabbed it and quickly took out a barrel of water from his inventory and started to wash the cloth, he then took the now clean cloth and wrapped his head only leaving his eyes visible. Soren then left the alley and made his way to a bar, when he found one he entered it and ordered a drink and asked for the closest Inn.

'I need to get an Inn so Misha and Karin don't need to stay in that hot ship': soren

Soren finished his drink and started heading towards the Inn he was told about, and after booking 2 rooms he left to head back to his ship to pick up Misha and Karin. They then spent some time in Alabasta until Ace and Luffy show up, this would then be the time to see how far Ace has grown.

[Husband, I want a child]: misha

But first he would have to deal with this problem, was this not too early? They have been together for 12 years. Find out next time!
