Klein's expression was on the verge of breaking, something Zephyr clearly noticed.
That was obviously...
Sengoku saw that Klein didn't want to answer and muttered in his heart, "What exactly did those two do in the training room?"
"Makes no damn sense."
He knew the martial art Klein used when sparring with Garp, just not...
How effective it truly was.
From there, life returned to normal.
The special event involving Warlord "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk had long since ended.
Every day's special offer bundle was just fragments, and after seven days of accumulated damage to Mihawk, they barely managed to scratch his health bar.
Didn't get any good rewards at all!
Klein was so pissed he cursed the developers: "Stupid dumbasses!"
Of course, that wasn't the first time he raged.
But for every bad news, there was good news. As the game progressed—
Klein finally unlocked a new swordsmanship mentor role—and a gold-tier one at that!
The Golden Lion Shiki, solo warrior!
A man who appeared in a "movie arc," and exited it as a legendary pirate of the seas.
A remnant of the old era.
Shiki bore countless dazzling titles above his head, and his name shook the Grand Line.
He charged into Marine HQ Marineford alone.
Just that one feat...
Was enough for Klein to admire the lion.
He currently seemed about the same age as Klein—maybe even younger.
Klein remembered that Whitebeard and Zephyr were the same age, and they were only 14 now.
Probably hadn't even gone to sea yet.
Shiki specialized in dual swords. At his peak, he could rival Roger, undeniably a Great Swordsman.
Ever since cutting off both legs and escaping from Impel Down, he chose to wield his swords with his feet, which drastically reduced his swordsmanship...
"Dual swords, huh—" Klein had hoped for a one-sword style. "Still, Golden Lion Shiki was a Great Swordsman, so dual it is."
"Maybe I'll get Three-Sword Style or even Eight-Sword Style next..."
He was still quite happy. After all, it was a gold-tier swordsmanship mentor, bringing huge bonuses. Plus, completing some prerequisite quests—
Would unlock Golden Lion Shiki's exclusive skill!
Klein was in a great mood.
"We're from the same era, Shiki. It's destiny that we'll meet on the seas someday!"
"Golden Lion Shiki... I look forward to crossing blades with you..."
That month, Klein unlocked two new skills—so outrageous it nearly gave him a heart attack.
One of them was: Ramen Fist!
After reading the skill description, Klein finally remembered the origin of this technique...
CP7 agent Wanze, from the Sea Train arc.
A weirdo with a matching weirdo martial art. A true meme combo.
The user swallows flour, then shoots ramen noodles from his nostrils to armor his body.
Ramen armor. Ramen limbs. Even Sanji had a hard time and was forced to use his "knife technique" to beat Wanze.
It had some power, sure—but this was 100% a comedy-type technique.
Klein made a firm decision: he would never use such a move.
That'd be a full-blown social death on the battlefield!
What kind of Marine carries sacks of flour into combat? And what if someone like Luffy saw it and just ate all the ramen mid-fight?
This technique was not fit for someone like him—a certified heartthrob.
Iron Fist all the way!
The second technique he unlocked was—
Developed by Revolutionary Army officer Ivankov, it's widely practiced on the island of Kamabakka.
The martial art combines "the flexibility of a woman with the strength of a man." It packs a serious punch.
During the War of the Best, Ivankov's Okama Kenpo matched the power of a Vice Admiral's Rokushiki.
In-game, it's a blue-tier skill.
"Are you serious, sir?" Klein was speechless. Was the system targeting him on purpose?
He was both looks and power!
No way he was taking the comedy path!!
Compared to Iron Fist, both Ramen Fist and Okama Kenpo were bottom-tier jokes.
Still, he couldn't deny that Okama Kenpo was strong. When Sanji was sent flying to Kamabakka by Kuma, he had to challenge 99 Newkama masters.
With Sanji's talent, he probably mastered it too!
His strength two years later was off the charts. Even if Sanji never used Okama Kenpo—probably because of pride.
After unlocking the skills, Klein's mind was filled with a flood of practice and combat memories for both Ramen Fist and Okama Kenpo.
Force-fed right into his brain.
Good thing these memories were system-generated and couldn't be seen by others—or this genius Marine would've lost all dignity.
Klein rubbed his chin.
"Okama Kenpo... I can sell this to the Marine Four Flowers!"
"Making money is the ultimate truth!"
"For the sake of my image, I can't demonstrate it myself. I'll make it into a 'secret manual' instead!"
A sudden idea flashed through Klein's mind.
"The name has to change. And every move needs a total makeover."
"That way, no one will know it's Okama Kenpo!"
"I'm so smart and witty!"
So, during his free time, Klein began making the "manual." The drawings were a bit rough...
But he tried to make the content easy to understand.
Once it was done, he immediately made ten copies and sold four of them to the Marine Four Flowers.
This time, he didn't go through the instructors.
If they thought he had come up with such a bizarre martial art himself...
His public image would be ruined!
This was his first time proactively approaching his "fans."
"Klein-nii actually came to us on his own!! I'm so happy I could die!!"
"Klein-nii~, your powerful and gallant form when defeating Garp still keeps me tossing and turning every night!"
"Brother, whatever you want—just say the word! We'll do anything!"
You're willing, but I'm not!
What the hell are these feral lines?!
Klein was gradually getting used to it. After all, he did transmigrate into this world with a devilishly handsome "succubus boy" face, courtesy of his cheapskate parents.
"This time I'm here because I have a friend. He developed a martial art that rivals Rokushiki. I think it suits you all well."
"It'll really help your strength and combat potential, so I suggested he teach you. But he's a bit shy and only agreed to sell it—not teach it."
"I went out of my way to convince him..."
"And he gave me a friendship price: 5 million Berries per person."
The classic "I have a friend..." routine—nothing new.
Like: I have a friend who only lasts 2 minutes. What does he take? What supplements help? What formulas can extend duration?

"5 million Berries? Well, if Brother Klein says it's good, then we'll buy it!"
The big sister of the Marine Four Flowers closed the deal instantly.
My fans are seriously stacked?
Klein reminded them just in case: "That's 5 million per person. For all four of you, that's 20 million Berries."
One of the Four Flowers ran straight to the bank while Klein stood there, stunned.

My babies... y'all are ballin'??
"Klein-nii, could you teach us the technique yourself?"
"Yeah yeah! Klein-nii is the most talented recruit in the Marines!! If you teach us, we're sure to improve a ton!"
That dramatic chest volume was no joke. Compared to Ling Darlang, they definitely came out on top.
