Sailing: Inheriting the Legacy of the Dead and Shocking the World Chapter 005

After leaving the tool shop, Zoro now had three swords at his waist.

Besides Wado Ichimonji and Sandai Kitetsu, there was also a good sword named Yukihira.

It seemed that the owner of the tool shop was also a man of character. After witnessing Zoro conquer the cursed sword Sandai Kitetsu, he didn’t hesitate to give Zoro his most prized possession, Yukihira.

“Where are we going next?”

Zoro followed beside Rhein. Rhein didn’t deliberately walk in front, as if worried that this guy might accidentally get lost even while following him.

After all, Zoro’s sense of direction was absolutely beyond imagination.

“To the place where the old era is buried, which is the grave of the Pirate King Roger.”

Rhein’s answer somewhat puzzled Zoro, but since he had chosen to follow Rhein, Zoro would not doubt any of Rhein’s decisions.

This was also Zoro’s charm; once he recognized a captain, there would be no change!

Where the Pirate King Roger was buried was actually a secret to most people in the world. They didn’t know where the man who once conquered the Grand Line was buried after his death.

But don’t forget, Rhein once had the identity of a Celestial Dragon, so he naturally knew that Roger’s body was actually buried by Marine Vice Admiral Garp in Loguetown.

And for ordinary people, even if they knew where Roger was buried, it wouldn’t have much impact.

But for Rhein, who could inherit the abilities of the deceased, even though Roger had been dead for nearly twenty years and his body had long been reduced to a skeleton, it wouldn’t affect Rhein’s ability to acquire Roger’s powers!

Arriving in front of Roger’s grave, looking at the overgrown, neglected mound, Zoro couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and say, “Who would have thought that the man who once conquered the Grand Line, the one crowned with the title of Pirate King, would be buried in such a place?”

Then Zoro’s gaze turned to Rhein and he asked, “Are you preparing to pay respects to the former King of the Sea?”

However, Rhein grinned upon hearing this, then touched his palm to the ground, activating the Float-Float Fruit ability.

The next second, as the surrounding soil lifted into the air, a skeleton appeared in Roger’s grave!

Zoro was momentarily stunned by this sight, somewhat unable to react to Rhein’s actions. However, Rhein didn’t explain, touching his palm to Roger’s bones.

[Deceased remains detected]

[Identity: Gol D. Roger]

[The current deceased remains can be inherited. Do you wish to inherit the deceased’s abilities?]

Without any hesitation, listening to the voice in his mind, Rhein directly chose to inherit!

The next second, as an invisible energy, mobilized by the system, entered Rhein’s body, Rhein couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement!

[Congratulations to the Host for inheriting the legacy of Pirate King Roger, receiving rewards: Top-tier Three Haki]

[Congratulations to the Host for inheriting the legacy of Pirate King Roger, receiving rewards: Roger’s Ultimate Swordsmanship Technique: Divine Departure]

“Captain?”

Zoro was somewhat puzzled. Although he didn’t feel dissatisfied with Rhein’s actions, seeing Rhein dig up someone else’s remains and touch them, he couldn’t help but wonder if Rhein was some kind of pervert.

Hearing Zoro’s voice, Rhein couldn’t help but chuckle, then slowly said, “Even the former King who conquered the sea could only end up like this.”

“So my goal has never been this sea, but the throne above the void.”

Upon hearing this, Zoro’s eyes widened, looking at Rhein with disbelief.

“The Void Throne? Captain, your ambition is far greater than mine!”

Rhein smiled calmly, “What, are you afraid because of my ambition?”

“No!”

However, to Rhein’s surprise, Zoro’s lips curved into a smile, and he said with great excitement, “If the Void Throne is the goal, then what kind of challenges will we encounter along the way?”

“Just thinking about it makes my whole body tremble with excitement!”

…

[Host: Rheinrona Rhein]

[Age: Twenty]

[Three Haki: Observation Haki (Top-tier: Listening to All Things), Armament Haki (Top-tier: Internal Destruction), Conqueror’s Haki (Top-tier: King’s Domain)]

[Devil Fruit Ability: Paramecia: Float-Float Fruit]

[Swordsmanship Level: Ordinary Great Swordsman (Ordinary, Intermediate, High, Top-tier, Peak)]

[Physical Combat Realm: Major]

[Overall Strength: Candidate Admiral ~ Ordinary Admiral]

[Evaluation: Although the Host already possesses strength comparable to an Ordinary Admiral, due to insufficient physique and physical combat, there is a slight gap compared to a true Admiral. Lack of stamina is currently the Host’s biggest problem. If physical combat and physique are supplemented, the Host will stably reach Admiral-level combat power.]

Looking at the information displayed on the system panel, Rhein couldn’t help but ponder this issue at this moment.

If he relied on training, it wouldn’t be easy to raise his physique and physical combat to a level equivalent to an Admiral.

So, he still had to rely on the system’s inheritance ability, but… where could he find deceased individuals whose bodies could undergo a qualitative change in physical combat and physique, to inherit their abilities?

In a moment, Rhein already had a target in mind!

That was the body of Oars, the ancient demon from 500 years ago, held by Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

However, before heading to the Thriller Bark, Rhein decided to first replenish the Flying Pirates’ crew vacancies.

The first thing he needed to find was an outstanding navigator. Although Rhein could rely on his Observation Haki, which allowed him to listen to all things, to foresee impending natural dangers, a competent navigator was also essential for daily voyages.

However, a moment later, Rhein realized that there was a perfect navigator in the East Blue, wasn’t there?

Even though Nami was not yet eighteen at this time, she was already capable of navigating the entire East Blue on her own, which proved her navigational talent.

Thinking of this, Rhein didn’t hesitate. After glancing at the map, he immediately activated his Float-Float Fruit ability, steering the island towards the skies above Cocoyasi Village.

Feeling the movement of the island, Zoro, who was cultivating nearby, was startled and then asked, “Are we entering the Grand Line?”

“Before that, we still need to find a navigator.”

Rhein’s answer puzzled Zoro, who asked, “But Captain… we’re flying tens of thousands of meters high, we won’t need a navigator, will we?”

“Who can say for sure?”

Rhein chuckled, replying calmly, “At his peak, Shiki the Golden Lion had the same thought, but the cost was Roger escaping and becoming the Pirate King, while Shiki began his decline.”

“I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes and follow in Shiki’s footsteps.”
