Chapter 7 - Is The Spirit Of The System A Tsundere?
[Edited]
"Hey, Makino! I really need some rest. I'm a little tired and the sky outside is already dark, where can I stay?"
Lionel had a lot to do so he asked Makino to show him his room.
Makino was still in her wildest thoughts when Lionel's voice woke her up.
"Ah-! it's right there. You can take the empty room on the right and the door opposite is my room. Oh and before I forget, that's the key to the room." She pointed at the long corridor and gave him the room. What she didn't realize was that she unknowingly chose Lionel's room close to her and it made her blush.
"Well, thank you, Makino! I'll visit you later after the bar closes- Ah! To help you clean, of course."
It was an opportunity, so of course, the skilled striker will take advantage of it to the fullest and score the goal unless it was Benzema. (? Sorry for the royal fans)
This time, even if it was a mature woman, her ears had turned red and a strip of pinkish redness could be seen on her cheeks. She wanted to dig a hole and go down in embarrassment at this moment, but unfortunately, the floor of the tavern was wood, not dirt.
"Hey! Makino-san? Your face is red, do you have a fever?"
Luffy was worried about Makino getting sick because she is the source of his delicious food.
———
After he got the key, Lionel went towards his room to not embarrass Makino anymore. Anyway, he was going to make her his no matter which method he will use as he really liked her.
After arriving in front of the room, he opened the door and went inside. In the room, there was a small bed that was only for one person and Lionel didn't care and fell on it the next moment.
'Aria, show me Luffy's skill list.' He commanded after he laid down comfortably.
Lionel had settled into place and asked Arya.

"I don't need a Beginner mastery level physical or spiritual strength, and I would also feel bad if I took a Devil Fruit from Luffy and left him with a sea curse. Hmm..."
It was very good news that he could steal abilities and leave curses to their owners, but he wouldn't use them on Luffy. Not because he liked Luffy or something, but his Devil Fruit proficiency was still very low and Lionel didn't want to take an ability that he needed to train.
If his system is so broken, then why not make good use of it? It would only take fresh peaches and if only it was a worthy ability, even if its owner's mastery was low, he would take it. But Luffy's rubber fruit is not worth it, that's all.
Lionel would have taken the innate skill; the sound of all things if it wasn't for the mission. He wouldn't feel particularly bad even if he didn't take it from Luffy; he would take it from Momonosuke in the future if his memory didn't betray him as Momonosuke had it too.
You think he's an idiot because he would have preferred the sound of all things over plot armor, were it not for the mission, right?
The reason he was obsessed with this skill was that it was the only divine-ranked skill in the one-piece world! He had seen its price earlier and his eyeballs almost popped out of shock.
[The cheapest divine skill is worth 1 million store coins.]
[The Voice of All Things skill costs 5.2 million store coins.]
He was a poor man who only had 20,000 store coins for now so how could he not dream of having a divine skill at such an early time? Even if he didn't want it, he could just sell it to the system and he would only lose the small fee price but he would gain a full 5 million!
The plot armor of the one-piece world was only level 4, which meant Gold Grade. Even if its importance was so great that his system store wouldn't sell it, there was still a huge difference between divine and golden.
"Fk the mission! I can get a Divine Skill right away. Why do I have to wait 5 years to get a Divine purchase coupon? This is unfair!" Lionel shouted frustratedly while rolling on the bed.
[If you can finish the mission earlier than 5 years, you will get your reward faster]
"Well, I can't beat you, no matter what I do, Arya." Lionel smiled wryly.
[Haha! Of course you won't be able to beat me even if you died in anger!]
Lionel didn't waste time any longer and pressed the steal button for the passive skill; plot armor- 20% Active.
[Steal destiny of passive skill; Plot armor 20% active from the protagonist's Destiny list, Monkey D. Luffy]
[0%...10%...35%...55%...80%....100%]
[The Plot armor of Monkey D Luffy has been successfully stolen!]
Suddenly Lionel felt a bond connecting to his soul. It was like a thread of white silk that quickly faded after being completely attached to him. But he can feel it! It was the feeling of security-NO! It was the feeling of absolute security!
In an instant, he felt as if the world itself had transformed into a beautiful female made of blue waters, her hair of white clouds and on her head, a rocky crown in the shape of an island. If one focused well, one would find a little name carved at the end of the crown, and it was 'Laugh Tell'.
This phantom female held him from behind like a loving mother. This amazing feeling lasted for only 5 seconds and the illusion quickly dissipated and Lionel returned to reality, but he didn't feel empty after the illusion ended because in the next moment, he heard a bell sound in his head.
[Ding!]
[Passive skill awakened; Plot Armor 50% active]
He felt as if he could go to Wano Country now, cause trouble and would come out completely unscathed! From now on, he could do whatever he wanted in this world without feeling afraid!
"I wonder what will happen after this plot armor awakens fully... Maybe the beautiful soul of the world will come to me personally and become my wife kekekeke" Lionel laughed like an evil madman when he imagined pinning down this world's spirit.
(The spirit shivered in excitement- wait excitement?!)
Lionel wasn't able to finish his perverted fantasies because he heard another notice bell that ended his sweet dreams as if it was on purpose from another soul dwelling within his mind.
[Ding!]
[Hmppp!]
[You have finished the first part of the main system quest]
[You have obtained: Devil Fruit
Type: Logia/ lightning]
[Hmpp!]
[Check Subsystem Inventory]
At this moment, Lionel was speechless. He didn't even focus on his reward, instead focused on the repeated 'Hmpp' that completely attracted his attention.
What is this? A tsundere system?' Lionel thought to himself with a smirk.
[Tsu- WHAT?! You-! . Your whole family is Tsundere! Hmppp!]
"Hahahaha"
Lionel couldn't hold back his laughter any longer and he laughed until he felt like his stomach was going to explode.
After he finished laughing, he asked inwardly while wiping the tears on the corners of his eyelid.
"Is my System Spirit, perhaps, jealous of the Soul of the One Piece World...?" He asked while making a thinking pose.
"No matter how many beautiful women and charming spirits will be by my side, you will always and forever be my number one Arya." Lionel said with a handsome smile and smug face.
But contrary to his expression, he said it with all his heart and he was serious about it.
[Who's jealous?! Idiot!!!]
At this moment, if Lionel had been able to enter into his Soul Essence, he would have found a six-winged angel with silky white hair and jade-white skin, her eyes as yellow as the bright of the sun and as if the god himself had refined her so carefully. Absolute perfection is what she can be described as!
But the beautiful girl was rolling on the white ground with a blush on her face and neck while she was repeating the same word,
"Idiot! !diot Idiot! Idiot!"
