Chapter 3: I’m Nami’s Brother?
Could these girls be... Nami and Nojiko?!
In the original story, Bell-mère was a Marine who found and adopted the orphaned Nojiko and Nami during a battle.
Could it be that this was the very moment?
Bell-mère looked curiously at the three children before her. What were kids doing in the middle of a battlefield?
War orphans?
Two adorable little girls and...
A precocious little boy?
Bell-mère chuckled, ruffling Noir's hair and squeezing his arms and legs like a playful thug.
Noir looked annoyed.
What the heck? Haven't you ever seen the biceps of a three-year-old?
Nami and Nojiko peeked out from behind Noir, curious and cautious about the young woman in her twenties standing before them.
Bell-mère, without hesitation, scooped them up into a warm hug, her face beaming with joy.
"What's your name?" she asked, smiling.
Nojiko looked down sadly. "I don't know... I was an orphan even before the war..."
"I see..." Bell-mère thought for a moment, holding Nojiko's tiny hand. "From now on, your name will be Nojiko."
She then gently patted Nami's head. "And you'll be Nami! Nami-chan!"
Finally, she turned to Noir and asked, "How old are you, little one?"
Noir held up the pendant around his neck. "My name is Noir. I'm three years old. I don't know where my family is."
"Three years old?"
Bell-mère sized him up. "You've grown pretty fast for your age."
Noir rolled his eyes.
Have you grown fast? You've never seen Big Mom as a kid. My size wouldn't even fill her mouth!
As Noir's thoughts wandered, Bell-mère suddenly hugged him and the sisters.
Noir was stunned, then heard Bell-mère's gentle whisper.
"Don't worry. From now on, Bell-mère will protect you."
Noir's emotions surged. In the original story, Bell-mère kept her promise, sacrificing herself to protect Nami and Nojiko from Arlong.
She was a strong and nurturing figure.
Initially, Noir felt detached from this world and its characters. But now, Bell-mère's warm embrace made him realize that this world was real and filled with genuine human connections.
His tense nerves finally relaxed, and he drifted into a peaceful sleep, barely hearing the system's notification.
"Significant character interaction detected. Rewards being issued..."
Had Noir been awake, he would have noticed the system's voice sounding unusually gentle.
Bell-mère watched the children settle down, feeling a renewed sense of purpose.
She said, "Indeed, as long as you live, there are many wonderful things to experience."
Bell-mère completed her final mission as a Marine and officially left the service.
This time, no one worried about her well-being. Everyone saw a new determination in her eyes.
Bell-mère bid farewell to the Marines and set off with Noir and the girls towards her hometown.
On the tranquil sea, a small boat drifted peacefully. Noir lay inside, counting his recent rewards.
"Significant storyline interaction, Bell-mère adopts sisters. Rewards issued: 1 Gold Talent Replication Card, 3 White Talent Replication Cards, Physique +15."
"Significant character interactions: Nami, Bell-mère, Nojiko. Rewards issued: 1 Red Talent Replication Card, 1 Purple Talent Replication Card, 1 Blue Talent Replication Card, 1 bag of Superior Orange Seeds."
Noir scratched his head in confusion. "System, why so many replication cards? Is there a pattern?"
"The quality of replication cards corresponds to the significance of the storyline interactions. Bell-mère adopting the sisters greatly affects Nami's survival, hence the high significance."
"Meeting key characters increases rewards based on their involvement in the world's storyline."
I got it, so I must meet the prominent cast members more often.
And the seeds? It makes sense, considering Bell-mère and her daughters' connection to oranges.
As for Physique +15...
"System, open my panel. Show all stats."
"Host: Kyros D. Noir
Stats:
Charm: 80 (Max 100)
Physique: 95 (Max 999)"
Inventory:
- Golden Talent Replication Card*1
- Red Talent Replication Card*1
- Purple Talent Replication Card*1
- Blue Talent Replication Card*1
- White Talent Replication Card*3
- A bag of Premium Orange Seeds
Abilities:
*Otherworldly Visitor*: Purple Quality - As a boy from another world, you possess a god-like knowledge of this world's significant figures and their stories. With the aura of an outsider, your charm automatically starts at 80 points, increasing by one point each year until it reaches its maximum, unaffected by age or external factors.
*Stamina Enhancement*: White Quality - Your stamina has improved, giving you extraordinary physical strength and endurance even as a child.
Noir nodded with satisfaction. Although the attributes were still somewhat lacking, they finally looked more substantial.
"How is this constitution calculated, System?"
The ever-dutiful system quickly explained:
"Constitution value only measures physical strength and excludes other abilities. A score of 1-99 represents an ordinary person. A score of 100-299 means you are strong enough to venture out to sea and engage in deadly battles, like Usopp. A score of 300-499 qualifies as a monstrous constitution, sufficient to fight leisurely in the first half of the Grand Line, and injuries can be quickly recovered from sleeping and eating, similar to Luffy and Zoro from two years ago. A score of 500-699 can secure a foothold in the New World and create a territory, typically at the level of the chief officers of the Four Emperors' pirate crews. A score of 700-899 can dominate a region, capable of defeating most people through constitution alone, like Garp, Whitebeard, and Shanks. A score of 900-999 nearly constitutes an immortal being, invulnerable to conventional attacks and possessing extreme self-healing abilities, like Kaido and Big Mom."
So, my constitution score of 95 is quite pitiful.
However, small increments add up, and my constitution score will eventually rise!
Lost in thought, Noir was startled by Nojiko's warm voice outside the cabin:
"Brother! Come see Bell-mère's fishing!"
