One Piece : Devil Eyes Pirate

Chapter 4 - Info dump incoming!!! Gomenasai in advance

Gathering his thoughts, Koujiro stand up then continue walking toward the city.

'H, how much the two swords I bought cost?'

°The Ōdachi cost ¥. 900.000, the Tanto is ¥. 20.000.°

'What the f.u.c.k? The Ōdachi cost 900.000 yen? That's a little bit overpriced in my opinion.'

°Its a Supreme Grade Meito, considering the rarity of a weapon with such grade, 900.000 yen is quite cheap.°

'What the f.u.c.k is a Supreme Grade Meito? the sword was an ornament on a shrine.'

°Meito is literally a famous sword, you should know that I assume, but in this world, they call the highest quality swords a Meito, the Meito are categorized by three grades depending on their craftsmanship.°

'Hmm, I'm kinda interested in these Meito swords, tell me more about them.'

°Currently, there are 12 Supreme Grade swords, 21 Great Grade swords, and 50 Skillful Grade swords, but there are also Grade swords, they are the lowest in the Meito categories, the number of how many of these swords exist are unknown.°

'What makes the Ōdachi a Supreme grade one? The sword is known as an ornament back in Japan.'

°Yes I'm aware that the Ōdachi was crafted not for a combat purpose, but the one you own right now is tempered by The Creator himself using the highest grade materials that even this world doesn't possess, according to this world standard of craftsmanship, the Ōdachi should be the second or third on the Supreme Grade list, that is evaluated by the overall quality of the sword since the passive of the sword only works when you are the one who wields it, the sword capability in combat is limited from its length alone.°

"Alright, I've got my goal for now, I'm gonna collect all the Meito, how many was it again? 80? Whatever."

°83 swords, FYI, there are only 3 Supreme Grade that are known, 5 Great Grade, and 3 Skillful Grade, before you ask why, the information I possess comes from the Manga itself, so far only 11 Meito are revealed by the author, I'll let you know if there is any new information about the Meito.°

"Fair enough, 8 swords to collect, first thing first, let's head to the city then look for a place to sleep."

°Before you reach the city, I suggest you buy a belt or a harness for your sword, using the inventory will attract unnecessary attention.°

"Fair enough, I'll see what I can buy with 80.000 yen left."

Browsing the shop once again, to buy some weapon's attachment this time, after a while he found a particular black sword's strap with a scale pattern that he never saw before, reading the strap's description, he found out that the strap is made from a dragon's skin.

Checking for the price this time before buying it, the strap price is 100.000 Yen, almost shedding a tear because he's broke he decided to buy a regular leather strap instead and another short leather strap for his Wakizashi.

Pulling out his Chokutō and Wakizashi he ties the long strap on both ends of the Chokutō's scabbard and he ties the Wakizashi using the short strap on his belt left side.

After a few hours of walking around the grey terminal, Koujiro found himself on the edge of a cliff, looking around he found the city wall on his right side, walking along the cliffside towards the city wall for another few minutes he reached the end of the city wall.

"What the f.u.c.k is this? How I'm supposed to get into the city with a wall in front of me and a cliff on my left side? Am I lost?"

Koujiro just stands there scratching his head with nowhere to go besides going back to the scrap yard.

°No, you're not lost Arima-san, you are on the right path, you just have to jump down and swim towards the city beach.°

"Wait what? What do you mean jump? Look at how high is this, I'm good as dead if I jump down, and by the way H, you suck as a navigator."

°Don't worry Arima-san, I already calculated everything, and you will not die from jumping down from the cliff, as a guarantee The Creator himself will revive you if you die.°

"That's not helping, how about this, tell the old man to make me feel no pain, dying from a fall this high will hurt like a bitch, and also if I died, I want the Muramasa sword to compensate of your shitty calculation."

°Deal°

"I don't want to hear it from you, I want to hear it from you old man."

••Shut up and jump brat, I already turn off your ability to sense pain.••

"Alright...alright let me do some stretching."

Lightning up a cigarette to ease his nervousness, he does some stretching, a few minutes later and half pack of cigarettes, he pulls out a bottle of sake and chugs it in one breath.

"Here goes nothing, you better keep your word old man."

Putting the weapons he carried back into the inventory, he smashed the bottle on his head to test if he really can't feel pain resulting in some blood dripping down his head, he jumped down.

"FUUUUUCK I HATE YOU BOOOOTH!!!!!"

He screams as loud as he can while falling down towards the water.

*Bam*

Instead of the sound of water splashing after someone jumps into the water, the sound is more like two solid objects slamming with each other, obviously falling flat into the water.

'Damn that feels strange'

Grabbing to a rather tall rock, he pulls himself to get out of the rocky area, thinking that he got lucky because he missed all those rocks.

Feeling that he's rather heavy or maybe his hands are still on a shock from the impact, after all, his position when he was hitting the water is not good, he can see that he was landed flat with his face facing the water.

Leaning on the tall rock after a few minutes trying to get out of the water, he jumped back down into the water then begin swimming towards the beach.

'What is this weird like itchy feeling on my c.h.e.s.t H? Scan my body for permanent injuries.'

°You're fine Arima-san, it's just your muscle reacting to the impact earlier, you're only feeling some muscle ache, nothing worse.°

Reaching a rather remote part of the beach a few minutes later, Koujiro pulls out his two swords that already fitted by the straps he bought earlier, hanging the Chokutō on his left shoulder just like hanging a bag, he ties the Wakizashi on his left side belt.

While he was walking on an alley, he noticed a hobo leaning on the building wall staring at him with a pale face, just when Koujiro about to ask the hobo a question, he immediately screams out and running away from him, thinking maybe the hobo scared of him because he's carrying weapons he just shrugged and walks down the alley.

Few turns here and there he finally see the main street, while he's walking down the alley, he glanced toward a big glass window out of curiosity, noticing something wrong from his reflection on the window, he turned around and takes a closer look at his reflection, seeing a gaping hole on his c.h.e.s.t, he instinctively touches his c.h.e.s.t and looks down to make sure he's alright, what he sees is his c.h.e.s.t literally caved in, and he can feel it too from his hand that touching the edge of the hole on hist chess.

Shocked from the realization of what's happening, Koujiro immediately collapses and lose consciousness.

A half-hour later Koujiro found himself lying on an alleyway surrounded by some hobos trying to take his clothes off, realizing that he's being robbed he immediately grab one of the hoboes who's trying to take his shirt off and slammed his face into the ground making a splat sounds destroying the poor man's head, the others got startled and immediately run away while screaming something about the zombie is still alive.

Kicking the dead body away from him, Koujiro sits up and lean on the wall to gather his thoughts. Looking down on his c.h.e.s.t he found the hole, still quite big but compared to the first time he saw its definitely shrinking.

"OLD MAAAAN, YOU BETTER COME DOWN HERE AND EXPLAIN THIS SHITS OR I'LL SLAUGHTER THIS ENTIRE CITY!!!"

He screams on top of his newly regenerated lungs clearly pissed of with the old man while startling the people who're walking on the main street.

"Calm down brat, you're being emotional just like a hormonal teenager right now, there's no need to make a problem out of this."

The old man appears in front of him and immediately summoned two chairs for them to sit on while talking.

"Alright, I'm calm now, explain."

Koujiro takes a seat and pulling out a bottle of sake and a cigarette.

"Well, remember when I said you are dead?"

The old man pauses and looks at Koijiro to make sure he's paying attention.

"Yeah, go on I'm all ears."

Koujiro nodded then down the sake and light his cigarette resulting in some sake leaking and smoke escaping from his c.h.e.s.t because his c.h.e.s.t is not fully healed yet.

"The thing is, you are neither alive nor dead, actually more leaning towards dead, but the point is I never revived you, I just take your body before your consciousness is gone from your brain, then modified your dead 'body' to stay functioning just with your consciousness alone."

The old man pauses again making sure Koujiro understand.

"I only got the I'm still dead part, make it simple old man, my weapons got stolen, my finger is itching wanting to cut someone."

"Don't worry about that, your weapons have a tracker in them you can look for them later. It's going to be a bit long, so pay attention, usually, the human brain can last for ten minutes after the body died, but on your case, all the drugs and alcohol already making your 'body' dead before I sensed your death through your consciences that was fading away, the simple version is all the drugs and alcohol you consumed that night, is so lethal that it's instantly killed your body right after you passed out, simultaneously the drugs were going after your brain but before you were truly dead that is stated after your brain is dead, I sensed it, then saved your brain by stopping the drugs from reaching your brain, I put a barrier to stop the drug then take your body then put you in this world."

"Okay correct me if I'm wrong, so, tons of drugs, I passed out, then poof my body dead from the drugs, right after that the drugs coming for my brain then you saved me, well half of me, then you drop me at the beach, but why can't you just like give me a new body or something like that?"

Koujiro impressively read back using the simple/dumb version then opened a new bottle and immediately chug it to cool down his overheating brain.

"Ouch, why the f.u.c.k I feel pain on my c.h.e.s.t, I was fine a minute ago."

Koujiro flinched feeling the alcohol touch his inside and exposed wounds.

"I turned back on your ability to feel pain, you have to get used to it. Before you ask what do I mean by getting used to it, I'm going to tell you a part of the letter I gave you that you never read. So, I dropped you at the beach, left you there for I don't remember how long after your body was clean from the drugs and other harmful substances, well some parts of your body, I modified your 'whole' body including the brain giving you a really strong regenerative ability. Again, before you ask me why your c.h.e.s.t is not fully healed yet, your whole body is still healing from all the damage the drugs done to you, I would say you have to avoid getting lethal injuries for 3 to 4 months because you can still be killed if you got a major injury to your brain, depending on what part of your brain got hit, my point is, protect your head until your body is fully recovered, as for giving you a new body, I'm just too lazy to find a suitable body that can connect perfectly with your brain/consciousness, altering your body with a ready blueprint is way easier."

"Umm, f.u.c.k old man!!! That's a lot to take in, can you heal me up real quick I need to take a really nice long sleep for this."

"Alright, remember to protect your head, I will not giving you any help if you die by your own recklessness."

"Heard you loud and clear old man, see you later."

He waves to the old man then walks out from the alleyway and head towards the tall buildings that he assumes the town centre to find a hotel or inn.

Extra Author Note, can't fit the few disclaimers and an explanation with the usual A/N

First of all, don't quote me on these brain and body dead things, I'm not a medical expert, just google some things then put them in there to BS my through the plot.

And about the Meito, I write what I found on the Wiki don't quote me on that either.

The MC hang his Chokutō just like on the cover if you don't understand my description, I suck at it can't do anything about that, and I know the cover is too dark, I will try to fix that when I got extra free time.
