'SSS level, Sea-Breaking Realm, and talent that can improve the realm of swordsmanship.'
'I thought that as my level improved, there would be no special rewards for me.'
'I didn't expect the system to hold back a big move on me.'
'I can actually help my partners directly upgrade to the realm of swordsmanship.'
'It's a pity that I can't save it for later use.'
'If possible, then I could wait until our partners improve their swordsmanship realm to the Mountain-Cutting Realm, and then directly upgrade them to the Sea-Breaking Realm.'
He shook his head, feeling a pity in his heart.
'However, Robin and Nami can be trusted.'
'How will Gion, Tashigi and Hina react to this reward?'
'Directly helping them improve their swordsmanship. If the Marines know about it, I'm afraid it'll arouse the Marines' suspicion.'
He touched his chin and began to think quickly about countermeasures.
He understood that his current situation was enough to attract Sengoku's attention.
But if the power he showed to strengthen his companions was even more exaggerated, perhaps Sengoku wouldn't be paying attention, but would be afraid.
'It would be perfect if Tashigi and the others could be given a reward to fight their future sword shadows and gain strength.'
'As long as the way to gain strength is set as a reward for challenging your future self, it shouldn't attract more attention.'
He thought in his mind and tentatively looked at the relevant rewards in the system props column.
Soon, he showed a surprised expression.
'I can really set the reward of the swordsmanship realm to challenge your future self's sword shadow.'
'The rewards this time are very flexible.'
'However, if Tashigi and Hina challenge sword shadows with their current personal attributes, they'll lose due to probability.'
Thinking about it, he looked at the personal panels of Tashigi and Hina.
Tashigi's swordsmanship realm had now reached the Sky-Cutting Realm. If she were to challenge a sword shadow whose swordsmanship realm was almost the same as hers, it would be even worse.
He had no doubt that Tashigi would lose.
The same went for Hina.
After all, even if the two people's rewards were made into sword shadow props, they still retained the personal attributes of Tashigi and Hina today.
Unless the two of them got further improvements in other aspects, such as Haki.
'Forget it, let's keep their rewards for now.'
'Let them get this reward when there's a chance in the future.'
After thinking about it, he raised his head again and saw Sadi-chan's face very close to him.
"Sadi-chan, what's the matter?"
"Hehe, it's nothing – it's just that I saw you stopped exercising, so I wanted to take a closer look at you."
"Well, the practice is indeed over."
"Now can I see the sword you mentioned earlier?"
"Sure."
He rubbed his somewhat stiff shoulders, stood up from the ground, and then took out the Noble Phantasm 'Vulcano Caligorante' in front of Sadi-chan and Nico Robin.
"Let's go to the Sword Enlightenment Room with me."
"After you inherit this treasure, use it to fight me and get familiar with its power."
He put the sword on his shoulder, waved to Sadi-chan and Nico Robin, and took the lead toward the sword enlightenment room.
Sadi-chan and Nico Robin naturally followed closely behind.
As he activated system permissions, the surrounding environment soon changed.
A man with pink hair and a cute face appeared in front of the three of them.
"Let me introduce you – this is the owner of this 'Vulcano Caligorante', Astolfo."
"By the way, although he looks like a girl, he's actually a boy."
He raised his hand and pointed at the phantom of Astolfo in front of him, and said to Nico Robin and Sadi-chan with a smile.
