Chapter 7: 7. Pevert
Why are there so many more talent options to choose from in this simulation than the first one?
Marsh rubbed his head, feeling a little overwhelmed by the choices.
Anyway, One More Chance was definitely a talent he had to take.
The second one was the only purple talent among the blue and white ones, Skill Enhancement. With this, his Geppo would immediately reach mastery!
If he encountered any danger now, there probably wouldn't be many who could catch up to him... unless, of course, they were Devil Fruit users.
As for the last choice...
He hesitated for a long time between Official's Child, Onii-sama Protects Me, and Treasure Hunter.
In the end, Marsh chose Treasure Hunter.
He thought to himself, what if the Treasure Hunter talent led him to find a rare and powerful Devil Fruit?
"I choose Skill Enhancement, Treasure Hunter, and the fixed talent One More Chance!"
[Simulation Starting!]
[0 years old: You were born in Marineford. Your father, Zephyr, was promoted to Admiral just a year ago.]
Zephyr?!
Seeing this name, Marsh immediately panicked!
If it had been another Admiral or even a Vice-Admiral, that would have been fine!
Why did it have to be Zephyr?
Not to mention, Zephyr later defected from the Navy and was killed by the Marines. The reason for his betrayal was that his family and students were killed by pirates!
Becoming his son meant... did that mean Marsh wouldn't survive for more than a few years?!
[1 year old: During your First Grasp ceremony, you grabbed Vice Admiral Tsuru's breast as if it were a ball, making your parents embarrassed.]
What the hell!
At just one year old, Marsh had already shown signs of being a pervert!
With the system that naturally made him lean toward being a villain, it seemed the final score for this simulation wouldn't be low.
[2 years old: You're exceptionally talented, inheriting your father's powerful Armament Haki. It seems you've also begun to mastering Geppo. Zephyr is very satisfied and believes that you will become an excellent Marine in the future.]
[3 years old: Your father, Zephyr, took the whole family out to sea, but the family was ambushed. Everyone, except Zephyr, was killed. The investigation concluded it was the work of pirates, but the truth seems more complicated.]
[You died. Simulation ended.]
...
Although Marsh knew he wouldn't survive for many years in this simulation, dying this quickly was too much!
Also, why did it say that the truth about Zephyr's family's death was more complicated?
Marsh furrowed his brow, starting to think.
However, since this part of the storyline was never shown in the original anime or manga, he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.
[Would you like to use One More Chance to make a new selection?]
[Yes!]
Never mind. The urgent thing now was to stop Zephyr from going out to sea.
But in this simulation, he couldn't intervene in the development of the story!
He could only wait and see what would happen.
[3 years old: Your father, Zephyr, originally planned to take the whole family out to sea. However, you developed a sudden fever, causing the trip to be canceled. This allowed your family to avoid disaster.]
Thank goodness! The storyline had changed!
[4 years old: By this time, you could already use Geppo skillfully. Zephyr decided to resign from his Admiral position to focus on training you but was refused. Instead, he kept his position as Admiral while becoming an instructor at the Navy Academy. He brought you along, but on the first day of school, because of your young age, Zephyr was questioned by Sakazuki. That night, you and Borsalino threw all of Sakazuki's pants into the toilet.]
Did Marsh just meet Akainu and Kizaru?
Thinking about it, these two were in Zephyr's first batch of students in the original story.
[5 years old: Your Geppo has reached perfection. You have already surpassed many powerful students at the Academy.]
[6 years old: Vice Admiral Tsuru visited the academy for an inspection, and you insisted that she hold you. Reluctantly, she complied, and you spent the entire time with your head buried in her breast.]
Wait a minute! Vice Admiral Tsuru is two years older than Zephyr!
At this time, she must be in her 40s, right?
Though she looked like she was only in her 30s, wasn't she still much older than this six-year-old kid?!
[7 years old: Kuzan became Zephyr's third batch of students. You liked his laid-back attitude and wanted to make him your underling. After being rejected, you fought him and were completely defeated.]
At this point, even if Kuzan was only a Rear Admiral, he was not someone Marsh could mess with.
He totally deserved to get beaten up!
[8 years old: Kuzan graduated from the Navy Academy. Feeling a little down, you heard that Vice Admiral Tsuru was coming to inspect again. You rushed to find her, and rumors began circulating within the Navy that say Admiral Zephyr's eight-year-old son is infatuated with Vice Admiral Tsuru.]
What is this?
A little kid staring at Tsuru?
Also, those gossips should be washed away by Tsuru's Woshu Woshu no Mi to purify their dirty souls!
[9 years old: Zephyr believes that your talents are being limited by the academy, so he arranges for you to join Vice Admiral Tsuru's fleet to help eliminate pirates. Before you leave, he reminds you to defeat enemies but not to kill them.]
