One Piece: Ultimate Villain

Gion's face flushed as she mentally stabbed Sadi a hundred times.

Outwardly, however, she cleared her throat and said with feigned seriousness, "I was just passing by. I heard some odd noises and thought someone was messing around, so I got a bit…overexcited."

"You got so 'excited' that you sliced through my room?" Marsh said, caught between laughter and disbelief as a cool breeze swept through the room.

"No worries. There are plenty of empty rooms in the base; you can just move to one of those." Gion replied, more embarrassed now. "I've been practicing sword techniques lately, and my control slipped. I'll be more careful next time."

Next time? Seriously?

Marsh rolled his eyes inwardly but said politely, "No problem. Sword training must be tough, Lieutenant Commander. If you ever need it, I'd be happy to offer a massage as well."

"Yes, exactly, Ma'am! Marsh's technique is really something!" Sadi chimed in.

'Some technique!'

Gion shot Sadi a sharp look.

"If meeting privately is against regulations, please don't blame Lieutenant Sadi. She was explaining various things a navy officer should be aware of, so I offered a massage to show my appreciation. It was my suggestion entirely." 

Both Gion and Sadi paused in surprise.

In the navy, there weren't any strict rules against private meetings, but if there were, was Marsh willing to take the blame alone?

Gion found it insincere, while Sadi found it touching.

Everyone has their own bright future, after all.

"Carry on, then," Gion said, sheathing her sword and turning away.

Could she really have judged him unfairly?

Marsh and Sadi exchanged a wry smile.

With the roof now gone, how could they possibly continue?!

…

Two hours later, with Sadi's help, Marsh settled into a new room.

After agreeing to continue their session another day, he lay down on the bed to sleep.

Just as he was drifting off, the system's voice chimed.

[Cooldown is complete. A new life simulation can be started anytime. Does the host wish to begin?]

That was quick.

[Begin!]

[The simulation is about to start. Please select three out of the following talents. After the simulation, one talent may be retained as a permanent trait.]

[Born Defective (White): At birth, one of your limbs will be crippled.]

[Child of Villains (Blue): You will be born into a family of villains.]

[Master of Weapons (Red): You will acquire a weapon of red-level quality during this simulation.]

[Four-Fingered Virtuoso (Blue): Born with only four fingers, but exceptional musical talent.]

[Covered in Sores (White): Infected with an incurable disease at birth, covered in sores, no makeup needed to look pitiful.]

[NTR Bastard (Blue): You have an intense attraction to married women.]

[Battle Horse (White): You have a horse named Battle as a mount.]

[Journalist (White): You can run faster than other journalist.]

[Righteousness (Blue): You are utterly intolerant of injustice and evil.]

[Triple Success (Blue): Your articles will always earn flowers, rating votes, or even monthly votes from attractive readers.]

It appeared!

Finally, a red talent after three simulations!

And this talent guarantees a red-quality weapon!

Marsh had already mastered Moon Breathing, and all he lacked was a worthy weapon.

Is he destined to become a swordmaster?

Whatever, I'll choose it!

Next, Marsh debated between Skill Enhancement and One More Chance as his permanent talent.

Skill Enhancement could level up his Soru or Shigan techniques, but One More Chance was undeniably useful!

After much deliberation, he decided to gamble on keeping Skill Enhancement.

'Worst case, I'll start from scratch!'

As for the other talent…

The Four-Fingered Virtuoso talent gave Marsh the feeling that the final boss of this simulation might die in some absurd way.

NTR Bastard was even worse! He had zero interest in getting involved with married women.

On the other hand, Child of Villains fit perfectly with the Ultimate Villain Simulator theme.

"I choose Master of Weapons, Child of Villains, and Skill Enhancement as my fixed talent!"

[Talents selected. Simulation begins!]
