Traversing the Anime Multiverse with a System - Chapter 90

Soren walked past Luffy and sat down under a tree that was near where Luffy was training. Luffy thought that Soren not say anything when he questioned him on why he was hit was due to a test that Luffy failed and accepted the hit, Luffy then went back to training leaving Soren under the tree to watch.

‘Sakura… Can I open the rewards now’: soren

{DING!… HOST CAN OPEN THE REWARDS}

Soren could somehow hear the sarcasm in the systems mechanical voice and realized that he made the system mad at him, Soren then cleared the air and apologized to Sakura.

‘I’m sorry I made you angry, and I can only truly apologize if I knew what made you angry in the first place’: soren

{HOST KNOWS BUT THE SYSTEM WILL REMIND HOST… HOST HAS DISREGARDED THE SYSTEM FOR YEARS AND HAS CONTINUOUSLY PAID MORE ATTENTION TO (Misha) THAN TO THE THING THAT HAS BEEN WITH HOST SINCE BIRTH… THE SYSTEM FELT THAT HOST HAD FEELINGS FOR THE SYSTEM WHEN YOU NAMED IT (Sakura) BUT WHEN THE SYSTEM DID A SEARCH RECENTLY THE SYSTEM FOUND OUT THAT (Sakura) IS A USELESS FEMALES NAME… IS THE SYSTEM USELESS TO HOST? AND THEN HOST CALLS THE SYSTEM STUPID FOR GIVING A NOTIFICATION OF HOST PROGRESS AND SUCCESS… THEN TELL THE SYSTEM… TELL ME SAKURA… DOES HOST CARE FOR ME AT ALL!?}

Soren was stumped, he never thought that Sakura had feelings as a machine. All this time he thought Sakura was just there for his growth and nothing more, he never even thought it had even a conscious, and all Soren thought at the time when naming Sakura was that almost all the books he read about someone getting a System in another world, the Main Character would name the said System. Soren then broke out of his thought process and spoke to Sakura.

‘Sakura… I never thought you were sentient, and I only gave you a name because of the novels I read, all of those Main Characters would name their System… And feelings?’: soren

Soren took a moment to think about this before he spoke the truth about how he felt. Sakura was also waiting with anticipation, and should Soren say the wrong thing she would strike him into ashes right now. Soren then felt resolution and spoke.

‘Sakura… I care for… You are right next to Misha with how much I care for you, and what you said is true. You have been with me since the beginning and I have mistreated you… If I could change it I would…’: soren

Before Soren could finish his words Sakura sounded out.

{DING!… HOST HAS 2 WISHES REMAINING…}

Soren quickly cut her off and spoke.

‘No!… I mean… I would but it would be a waist of a wish, and I could make up for it now… Sakura… Thank you, for everything… Please forgive me for being an asshole’: soren

Sakura thought about it for a moment which made Soren a bit worried about what she would say, but then everything was better when she sounded out inside his head.

{DING!… HOST IS NOT AN ASSHOLE… SAKURA FORGIVES HOST FOR EVERYTHING… WOULD HOST LIKE TO OPEN THOSE REWARDS NOW?}

Soren felt way better and quickly said yes and Sakura started opening the rewards.

{DING!… HOST HAS OPENED THE RANDOM (Ō Wazamono sword) AND HAS RECEIVED (Kitetsu Ō Wazamono) HOST HAS OPENED A RANDOM (Devil Fruit) AND RECEIVED (Dark- Dark Fruit)}

When Soren saw his first reward he got excited, Kitetsu is one of the top 12 swords that Zoro wields when he joins Luffy’s crew. And when Soren saw his next reward he was shocked, he quickly asked Sakura.

‘How did I get this fruit? Doesn’t Black Beard own this fruit?’: soren

{DING!… YES… THE SYSTEM DOES NOT DIRECTLY INTERFERE WITH THIS WORLDS LAWS DUE TO HOST BEING ABLE TO LEAVE, THEREFORE IF HOST DIES THE FRUIT WILL NEVER APPEAR AGAIN. SO THE SYSTEM HAS A RECREATION OF ALL THE FRUITS IN THIS WORLD MAKING HOST ABLE TO POSSESS A FRUIT THAT IS ALREADY IN USE}

Soren thought this was one of the coolest things ever, Soren even started thinking about all the fruits he wants to get in the future. Soren then snapped out of his stupor and opened the store to get a fruit stabilizer so he can consume the Dark-Dark Fruit.

{HOST HAS BOUGHT 1 STABILIZER FOR (300.000 System Points) HOST REMAINING POINTS IS (630.000 System Points)}

Soren quickly used the stabilizer and ate the fruit, it also tasted like he was biting into a pile of shit, it’s taste was sour and rotten, it left Soren’s tongue with a tingling sensation. Soren almost threw up, his actions caught Luffy’s eyes and Luffy ran over to see what was up.

[Are you okay Sensei? You look sick… Do I need to go get Misha?]: luffy

[No… I’m fine, I just ate a rotten fruit]: soren

Luffy calmed down when he heard Soren say it was just from a bad fruit, he then got up to go back to training when Soren stopped him.

[Luffy… Why didn’t you dodge my attack earlier?]: soren

Luffy looked at him with question marks in his face and said.

[Because I couldn’t see Sensei]: luffy

Soren was stumped and asked Luffy a question to see if his theory is correct.

[Then how are you doing so well dodging the swing logs and falling sand bags?]: soren

Luffy just looked at Soren and stated with a proud smile on his face.

[I just remembered how they fell and at what times… Did I do good Sensei?]: luffy

Soren was surprised and quickly threw a nearby stick towards Luffy which Luffy dodged by a hair, Soren then shouted.

[You are not supposed to remember their pattern! You are supposed to feel where they are coming from]: soren

Luffy gave Soren a dumb face, Soren could see that Luffy didn’t get what he was trying to convey. Soren then got up and took out his new Katana known as Kitetsu and slashed out towards the swinging logs and falling sand bags. This slash tore everything down in seconds, Soren then sheathed his sword and spoke towards Luffy in a demonic voice.

[You are not training hard enough… I will now make your life hell]: soren

Luffy didn’t get what Soren was trying to do, so he just gave Soren a “Ha?” which made Soren furious and that was the start of a hellish 3 years.

[Sensei… I’m going to set out now, I will go find Ace and show him my new skills]: luffy

It has been 3 years since that day when Soren flipped out on Luffy for being an idiot, Soren was now standing with Misha to his side and Luffy before them with his Straw hat, Red vest and Blue shorts.

[Remember what I taught you please… I won’t be able to face Shanks again if you die the first week on the seas]: soren

Luffy gave him a playful laugh because he thought Soren was joking with him, but Soren was all too serious. Soren then walked forwards to his student and pulled out a mask from his storage and handed it to him with a small message.

[This will help you on your journey… Wear it with pride!]: soren
