=========================================
With the help of the golden talent "Conqueror's Aptitude", Noir finally awakened the last of the three types of Haki, the Conqueror's Haki, at the age of seventeen.
"System, show me my statistics."
Noir called softly to the system, and a light screen displaying his various attributes appeared before his eyes.
"Host: Kyros D. Noir"

Talents: Otherworldly Guest, Devil Host Bear, Conqueror's Aptitude, Dominant Swordsmanship, Climate Super Perception..."
Now, Noir's attributes were much fuller compared to when he first arrived in this world!
Especially his Charisma, which was a high 94 points. Noir could say this with confidence:
He was the most handsome guy across the ocean!
However, his once-proud physique had been stuck for a long time, seemingly stuck in a bottleneck.
Despite this, Noir had grown to an impressive height of over two meters, something he couldn't have imagined in his previous life.
As Noir admired his physique, Bell-mère knocked and entered the room.
Noir smiled and said, "Bell-mère, you're here."
Bell-mère looked a bit complicated and said, "You've grown up so fast, I can't hold you back anymore."
Noir quickly shook his head and said, "No way! I just want to see a bigger world."
Bell-mère sighed, then smiled again and said, "I don't want to hold you back, I just hate to let you go."
Noir smiled too, feeling a mixture of emotions.
Sailing out at seventeen and going to the Grand Line had been Noir's idea for a long time. But he had formed bonds in Cocoyasi Village, especially with Nami and the others, that made him reluctant to leave.
However, it was Bell-mère who encouraged him to go on adventures, so Noir finally decided to set sail.
There were not many people of note left in the East Blue. To find stronger talents to copy, he had to go to the Grand Line!
Besides, according to the story, it was almost certain that Nami would join the Straw Hat Pirates. Noir couldn't just stay behind and cheer her on from afar.
He had to get stronger before the story unfolded!
Noir packed his belongings, hung the Fine Grade Sword Pure Heart at his waist, and donned a super cool black and white gradient coat.
Fully prepared, Noir stepped out of the house only to find the street crowded with people.
Genzo, with his usual stern face and a windmill spinning on his head, stood in front of Noir and said, "Out there, don't disgrace our village.
Noir, touched by the familiar faces, said softly, "Of course not.
The villagers escorted Noir to the shore where a boat was waiting. Noir thanked everyone and said, "Thank you for seeing me off. I'm leaving now!"
Nojiko and Nami, now young women, hugged Noir's waist and said sadly, "Brother, take care.
Noir patted their heads, then looked at the sobbing Kaede and Naomi and said, "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!"
"Listen, be careful during the bounty hunt and take care of the villagers, okay?" Noir instructed.
The sisters nodded firmly and shouted, "Yes, Master!"
Noir finished his goodbyes, boarded the boat, hoisted the sail, and shouted back to the waving villagers, "Goodbye! Wait for my return!"
"Goodbye!"
"You better make a name for yourself, kid!"
"Stay safe."
The villagers cheerfully bid Noir farewell. Bell-mère, with a cigarette in her mouth and a bright smile, looked extremely dashing.
Nami and Nojiko waved frantically. Nojiko's face showed reluctance, but also pride for her brother.
Nami, remembering her dream, said to Nojiko, "Brother has set sail to become the strongest in the world. And I want to draw the first complete map of the world. One day, I'll set sail to fulfill my dream, too.
After a moment of surprise, Nojiko smiled at the confident girl and said, "I believe in you!"
Standing at the bow of the boat, Noir waved goodbye, feeling a growing sense of melancholy. This departure was emotionally complex.
Not knowing how long he would be on the Grand Line, he knew it would be a long time before he saw everyone again.
Sighing, Noir returned to the deck, sat down on a deck chair, and began to plan.
According to the map, Noir still had a long way to go before reaching Reverse Mountain, the starting point of the Grand Line, so there was no rush.
He wanted to visit a good place in the East Blue first.
The Baratie, a floating restaurant where Sanji had worked before he left, and a famous gourmet spot in the East Blue.
Remembering the Baratie's reputation, Noir's eyes shone and he drooled slightly.
He had often heard of it during his bounty hunts, but had never had the chance to visit. Now he could finally go there and have a proper meal.
And maybe check out Sanji's talents.
Lazily, Noir's boat sailed away. It was a pleasant trip.
But soon Noir felt bored. With nothing to do on a well-stocked ship in the vast ocean, loneliness became his greatest enemy.
To pass the time, a bored Noir took out dumbbells from the cabin and began to work out.
Meanwhile, on a nearby deserted island, a green-haired young man stood on a large blue rock and looked out to sea.
He was wearing a white t-shirt, three drop-shaped golden earrings on one ear, and three swords at his waist.
With half-closed eyes and an irritated expression, Zoro muttered to himself, "Where the hell am I?!"
