"Congratulations, Host. You have drawn the Ultimate Item—the Zanpakutō Ryūjin Jakka!!"
Hearing the system's voice, Kai froze for a moment, then his pupils gradually dilated and his breathing quickened! Kai never would have imagined he'd actually draw this item!
Ryūjin Jakka!!!
The Zanpakutō belonging to the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, also known as the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society—Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto! After Shikai, the flames on the blade reach temperatures equal to the sun's surface. And after Bankai, it becomes even more terrifying—the blade's temperature can reach a horrifying 20 million degrees!!
Nothing can exist under such scorching heat—not even souls, which would be directly melted by such temperatures!
And after Bankai, the four techniques of East, West, South, and North left every enemy facing Yamamoto wielding Ryūjin Jakka in complete despair! Even someone as powerful as Yhwach, who could alter the future itself, didn't dare face Ryūjin Jakka's edge directly!!
Ryūjin Jakka floated quietly before Kai—a tachi over two meters long with a shimmering purple hilt, emanating a noble aura filled with Buddhist serenity and naturally revealing an ancient, timeless presence.
Reaching out to grasp Ryūjin Jakka's hilt, Kai had an inexplicable feeling. In that instant, Ryūjin Jakka seemed to fuse with him completely, becoming an inseparable part of his soul.
With a slight mental shift, Ryūjin Jakka vanished from his hand, while in Kai's sea of consciousness, a Zanpakutō radiating scorching heat had appeared.
Another thought, and Ryūjin Jakka materialized in his hand once more.
"Being able to merge directly into my sea of consciousness is pretty nice. Otherwise, carrying around a long sword every day would be quite troublesome," Kai nodded with slight satisfaction, murmuring to himself.
However, Kai suddenly remembered something, his expression turning somewhat strange as he hurriedly asked in his mind: "System, will Ryūjin Jakka's power be rejected by this world?"
Ryūjin Jakka was also a power that didn't belong to the One Piece world. If it were rejected by this world, then what would be the point!?
"Please rest assured, Host. Any item manifested through Prestige Point lottery draws is synchronized with the current world's power laws, so there's no phenomenon of rejection by the world's source," the system replied.
The system's answer put Kai somewhat at ease, and he began sensing the power of Ryūjin Jakka in his hand.
The scorching, razor-sharp blade was absolutely no inferior to any of the twelve Supreme Grade swords in the One Piece world! The power contained within the blade was also staggeringly violent. However, at this moment, Kai still had no way to channel this power.
Ryūjin Jakka was simply too powerful. The Bleach world could definitely be considered an S-level power world, with all sorts of bizarre abilities that even Kai found somewhat daunting!
And in such a world, Ryūjin Jakka was among the pinnacle powers. With Kai's current strength, he naturally couldn't easily master Ryūjin Jakka to that degree.
"Looks like mastering Ryūjin Jakka's power will be impossible without several years of effort," Kai sighed softly after briefly sensing the power belonging to Ryūjin Jakka.
With a mental command, Kai stored Ryūjin Jakka back into his sea of consciousness.
"System, what year is it currently in the Sea Circle Calendar!?" Kai inquired of the system. Only by familiarizing himself with the current time period could Kai properly plan his future arrangements.
However, before the system's voice could reach Kai's ears, two voices approached from far to near.
"Luffy, don't run! Come taste Grandpa's Fist of Love!"
"Nooo! Grandpa's fists are too terrifying!"
Along with the voices, a boy wearing a straw hat ran toward Kai's direction, with a burly man chasing behind him!
As the boy ran, his legs stretched several meters long—quite bizarre indeed. The burly man behind the boy had a robust build, a square face, short black hair, though his temples showed some gray. But he gave no impression of old age whatsoever. A prominent scar above his left eyebrow added a fierce quality to his appearance.
Seeing the two people chasing each other, Kai's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Weren't these the Monkey D. family grandfather and grandson—Luffy and Garp!?
In just a few steps, Garp caught up to Luffy. Immediately, a heavy iron fist crashed down hard on Luffy's head, sending him flying.
"Ow, ow, it hurts so much," little Luffy sat on the ground, holding his head and grimacing.
"Hmph, you brat! If you know it hurts, then give up the idea of becoming a pirate and train with me. I'll definitely make you the strongest Marine!" Garp declared loudly.
Luffy didn't even think about it. He jumped right up, looking at Garp with excitement and shouting: "No way! I don't want to be some Marine! I'm the man who's going to become the Pirate King! This is my promise with Shanks, and I'll definitely fulfill it!"
"That damn Shanks! Next time I see him in the New World, I'm definitely going to give him a good beating!" Garp was so angry his teeth were grinding.
"Huh!? Kid, who are you? What are you doing here!?"
Only then did Garp notice Kai standing beside him. For some unknown reason, looking at this seemingly ordinary young man before him, Garp inexplicably felt a trace of wariness.
"My name is Kai Mitarashi, from Konohagakure in the Land of Fire. As for how I came to be here, I'm not entirely sure myself," Kai answered simply.
"Land of Fire... Konohagakure?"
Garp's face showed a thoughtful expression, then he murmured: "Never heard of it at all. Could it be a country in the Calm Belt?"
"Kid, want to join the Marines!?" Looking at Kai, Garp suddenly spoke up. After speaking, he stared intently at Kai, waiting for his answer.
At the same time, the system's voice also rang out in Kai's mind: "Please make your career choice: Pirate or Marine. Choosing Marine will unlock Observation Haki; choosing Pirate will unlock Armament Haki."
