One Piece: My Uncle Is Kizaru

###

"Hiss~!"

"This thing!!!"

Looking at the system's description, Kyle was immediately impressed, his eyes sparkling.

With a thought, he took out Nemu Kurotsuchi's Shinigami Robe from his inventory.

In an instant, a black dress with a white waistband appeared on his desk.

The smooth silk, the loose neckline, and the skirt that just barely covered the hips...

Rather than a piece of defensive combat gear, this C-rank item looked more like a cosplay outfit meant for... certain intimate scenarios.

Uniform temptation? Cosplay?

This system sure knows how to play!

"Indeed, the system is still the system."

"Good taste, I like it!"

Just imagining the mature Tashigi wearing this Shinigami Robe, Kyle felt like he was one step closer to his dream!

He then picked out a pair of white stockings belonging to Emilia from his inventory.

Although it was just an E-rank item with no special effects, it was still a system product. Its texture and appearance were far superior to ordinary stockings or knee-high socks!

After pairing the stockings with the Shinigami Robe, Kyle decided to give them to Tashigi as a surprise after her training session!

Unfortunately, this meant the sailor outfit he had prepared for Tashigi would have to be set aside for now, waiting for another lucky recipient.

Sigh...

What can you do?

After all, the Shinigami Robe is a C-rank item.

As the uniform of a Vice-Captain of the Gotei 13, it could easily defend against swords, spears, and clubs.

It was a pretty decent piece of equipment.

He was sure Tashigi, who knew what a Shinigami was, wouldn't refuse this robe.

The first ten-pull didn't bring any major surprises, but it did give him something useful for the crew.

Now, Kyle's excitement was fully ignited.

He licked his lips and muttered in his heart:

"System Daddy, give me something good!"

With a thought, he selected another ten-pull from the regular gacha machine.

Immediately, a series of notifications flashed before his eyes.

[Congratulations! You have obtained an E-rank item: Kid's Cloak!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a D-rank item: Explosive Tag!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a D-rank item: Nichirin Blade!]

[...]

[...]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a B-rank item: Poké Ball!]

"Huh!? A B-rank item!?"

"Did calling the system 'Daddy' actually work!?"

Seeing the last notification, Kyle's eyes lit up with a golden glow!

"A Poké Ball, huh? Let's see what it does."

Muttering to himself, Kyle quickly opened his inventory and found the red-and-white sphere icon, checking its description.

**[Poké Ball]**

[Type: Consumable item]

[Rank: B]

[Description: Can capture a non-human creature defeated by the pirate crew as a companion, automatically granting it a Pokémon (C-rank) template.]

"A Pokémon C-rank template? This Poké Ball..."

"Seems pretty interesting!"

After reading the description, Kyle's lips curled into a smile.

At the same time, his brain started working overtime, thinking about how to use the Poké Ball.

"Hmm... According to the system's description, this Poké Ball is quite versatile."

"Non-human creatures, huh..."

"That means, aside from Sea Kings and rare beasts, even Fishmen, Giants, and Minks..."

"As long as they're non-human, they can be captured by this Poké Ball and forcibly become a member of the Twilight Pirates."

"Hiss~!"

"This effect is pretty broken!"

Kyle was inwardly amazed.

Unlike crew members who first join and then become 100% loyal...

Creatures captured by the Poké Ball don't get a choice. They're brainwashed on the spot and forced to recognize Kyle as their master!

"As expected of a B-rank item. Truly terrifying!"

Kyle sighed in admiration.

But his eyes were shining brightly!

After all, this broken item was now in his hands!

Considering the Poké Ball's original setting, this effect made sense.

In the Pokémon world, Pokémon that were just fighting each other would instantly become obedient "good kids" once captured by a Poké Ball.

However...

After some thought, Kyle decided that using the Poké Ball on humanoid creatures wasn't cost-effective.

"Humanoid creatures in this world usually have human-level intelligence and social attributes."

"I can just intimidate or bribe them into joining the crew, then wait for the right character card."

"This brainwashing ability is better saved for rare beasts or Sea Kings that are unwilling to submit but have high value."

In the end, the Poké Ball only added one C-rank companion to Kyle's crew.

With only one A-rank companion so far, Kyle wasn't sure how valuable a C-rank companion would be.

Moreover, aside from the brainwashing ability, the Poké Ball's other function was to add a companion without needing compatibility.

This meant Kyle had to consider targets with high potential but no matching character cards.

Thinking about non-human creatures, Kyle already had some ideas...

Laboon, the giant whale at Reverse Mountain; the Island Eater near Little Garden; the Kung Fu Dugongs in Alabasta that can learn Armament Haki; the giant Sea Kings in the Calm Belt; Zunesha, the elephant carrying the Mink Tribe's country...

The world of *One Piece* was full of rare and exotic creatures!

Leaving aside whether Kyle could defeat them...

Since they would be companions, it would be best if they could board the *Diga* and use the training room.

"Seems like that narrows down the options quite a bit..."

"Hmm... I guess I can't just use this Poké Ball recklessly."

After some consideration, Kyle decided to stash the Poké Ball for now.

After all, there weren't any targets in the East Blue worth using it on.

The only ones that fit were the members of the Arlong Pirates.

But a bunch of ugly Fishmen? Kyle had no interest in bringing them aboard.

Aside from the heinous crimes they'd committed...

Kyle wasn't opposed to having some villains in his crew, as long as they had compatible character cards and could bring him benefits. He wasn't picky.

But clearly...

The Arlong Pirates had a better fate and value elsewhere!

After closing the inventory, Kyle didn't immediately spend the last 10 million Beri. Instead, he opened his captain interface.

Because after that ten-pull, he had successfully leveled up to Captain Level 2!

**[Captain: Kyle]**

[Level: 2]

[EXP: 0/300]

[Total Combat Power: 440]

[Skills: Super Intuition (A), To Be Drawn]

"Hmm, feels... kind of underwhelming."

Kyle stretched his limbs and sighed.

Although he got a 10% combat power boost, 440 combat power was only equivalent to adding another Alvida to the crew...

Aside from feeling slightly stronger, the actual combat effectiveness didn't improve much.

"Still too few people~"

Kyle was acutely aware of his crew's current situation.

He needed more Beri to keep pulling gacha and increasing the number of system-recognized companions.

Fortunately, the Twilight Pirates' next destination should satisfy this need.

Of course, since he had leveled up, Kyle could now draw another captain skill.

With a nervous heart, after mentally praying to every god he knew...

He clicked on the "To Be Drawn" option.

In an instant, a massive, densely packed roulette wheel appeared before Kyle's eyes.

He nervously closed his eyes, even though the system was in his mind and closing his eyes didn't really matter.

The wheel spun rapidly.

Countless skills, their names blurry, flashed past the pointer.

Kyle clenched his fists and waited quietly.

After a minute, the wheel slowly came to a stop.

And Kyle's jaw dropped in shock.

"Holy crap!!!"

In Kyle's mind, the roulette wheel faded away...

And a shiny bald head slowly appeared before him.

A white cape, red gloves, and a bright yellow spandex suit.

With that unique outfit and those dead-fish eyes, the identity of Kyle's draw was unmistakable.

It was none other than the absolute powerhouse from the *One Punch Man* world—Saitama, the Caped Baldy!

At the same time, a notification appeared in the center of Kyle's vision:

[Congratulations! You have obtained an S-rank captain skill: "Ultimate Move—Serious Punch"!!!]
