Chapter 20 — Oni Blood? Don't Tell Me I'm Related to Kaido?!
"Money!"
"With money… I can become stronger however I want!"
Akira took a deep breath, trying to calm the wild excitement boiling inside his chest.
His eyes—burning with greed and the hunger for power—locked back onto the golden Attribute Wheel before him.
"Only a 100% boost to Critical? That's nowhere near enough!"
"I still have 5.5 billion Berry left!"
"Today…"
"I'll spend it all! I'll max out every single attribute I have!"
"I'll stop only when my luck completely runs dry!"
A manic light flashed in Akira's eyes—
the fire of a true gambler.
He pressed the glowing button with trembling fingers.
"SYSTEM!"
"Don't make me spin one at a time!"
"Do it—ten draws in one go!"
"Ten consecutive attribute draws!"
[Ding!]
Even the System's cold, robotic tone sounded faintly amused by his madness.
[Cost: 1 Billion Berry]
[Remaining Assets: 4.52 Billion Berry]
Whoosh—!
A billion Berry vanished in an instant.
The golden wheel spun wildly, leaving streaks of light so fast that the human eye couldn't follow.
The needle blurred into a halo of motion.
Ten spins, completed in just three seconds.
[Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!]
System notifications rang out in rapid succession—
a divine melody to Akira's ears.
[Congratulations! You obtained: Conqueror's Haki Mastery +70%!]
"Perfect!"
His grin nearly split his face.
He could feel it—the raw pressure of his Conqueror's Haki changing dramatically.
His once intangible willpower now gained mass and weight.
It wasn't just an invisible force anymore; it had physical impact, form, and sharpness.
For the first time, Akira could sense every ripple of his Haoshoku no Haki like a muscle flexing under his command.
[Congratulations! You obtained: Resistance to Conqueror's Haki +50%!]
"Holy hell! This one's amazing too!"
He burst out laughing, eyes gleaming.
"Now, even if Kaido tries to crush me with his Haoshoku, it won't work as easily as before!"
"When our auras collide… I'll have the upper hand!"
[Congratulations! You obtained: Observation Haki Mastery +50%!]
[Congratulations! You obtained: Observation Haki Mastery +70%!]
BOOM!
The moment those lines appeared, Akira's perception exploded outward.
The entire world opened up.
Every sense he had sharpened a thousandfold.
His Observation Haki now stretched twice as far as before.
Every detail—every motion, every heartbeat—felt alive.
The world became too vivid, too real.
He could see half a second into the future.
He could hear Yamato's deep, rhythmic heartbeat echoing in the courtyard outside.
He could see her swinging Hassaikai with perfect precision, each swing leaving trails of air and faint sparks of lightning.
He could even smell the faint fragrance of roses blooming at the edge of the garden… and the subtle dust from a beetle's wings as it fluttered away.
"This… this is only a 1.2x improvement?"
"It feels like a whole new world!"
His entire body trembled with joy.
The notifications didn't stop:
[Congratulations! You obtained: Strength +30%!]
[Congratulations! You obtained: Speed +20%!]
[Congratulations! You obtained: Armament Haki Endurance +40%!]
Each new line made his heartbeat race faster.
"This one billion Berry… was absolutely worth it!"
Then—his eyes fell on the final result, the tenth spin.
[Congratulations! You obtained: Charisma +10%!]
"..."
Akira froze.
"Huh?"
His smile stiffened.
"Cha… Charisma?"
"Only a 10% increase?"
His entire face darkened.
He stared at the result list—
all those glorious numbers: +70%, +50%, +40%…
And now, sitting at the end like an insult—+10% Charisma.
A chill crawled down his spine.
"Oh, great."
"My luck's starting to nosedive."
He immediately took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
As a seasoned gambler, he knew the golden rule—
when luck turns, stop before it bleeds you dry.
"The System's warning me."
"My luck's spent for today."
"If I keep going, I'll just pull more garbage like this."
"Charisma? Of all things, that's what you give me?"
"Tch. Damn money-hungry system. I'm done for now."
Without hesitation, he slammed the Stop button.
[Remaining Assets: 4.52 Billion Berry]
"Hmph. I still have plenty of cash left."
"I'll wait a few days—after some 'intense training,' I'll reset my luck."
"Then, we'll gacha again."
He closed the Attribute Wheel menu firmly.
But then—
Chapter 20 — Oni Blood? Don't Tell Me I'm Related to Kaido?! (Part 2)
Humans were creatures who could never truly resist temptation—
especially gamblers who had just hit a jackpot.
Akira's gaze drifted across the system interface again.
His eyes stopped on two unfamiliar options that he'd never dared to touch before.
[Bloodline Lottery (100 Million per draw)]
[Technique Lottery (100 Million per draw)]
His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard.
"My attribute luck might be used up…"
"But that doesn't mean…"
"My bloodline luck is gone too, right?"
"Yeah, I'll just switch lotteries!"
"Let's test my luck somewhere else!"
The instant that thought surfaced, it was over.
There was no stopping him now.
His eyes locked onto the glowing Bloodline Lottery.
"Damn it… let's do this!"
"SYSTEM!"
He clenched his teeth.
"Run one Bloodline draw!"
[Ding!]
[Cost: 100 Million Berry]
[Remaining Assets: 4.42 Billion Berry]
The screen flickered—
and an ancient, ominous box appeared in front of him,
radiating a wild, primal energy.
"Open!"
Crack!
The box split open in a burst of blinding light.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Bloodline: The Blood of Koby, the Hardworking Marine!]
"???"
Akira froze.
Still sitting cross-legged, his body went stiff like a statue.
"Koby's… blood?"
"Which Koby?"
"The pink-haired Marine cadet? The future Admiral?"
"Or that parody version who drinks iced tea at four in the morning while crying about paperwork?"
"Either way…"
"They're both useless."
A new panel of text appeared with details.
[Bloodline Effect: When the user exerts 200 times more effort, results will increase tenfold.]
"..."
Akira's face twitched.
A thick vein bulged at his temple.
The room went silent—completely dead quiet.
Three seconds later—
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
His scream shook the entire villa.
"Two hundred times the effort for only ten times the result?!"
"That's a massive loss! A scam!"
"Who in their right mind would agree to this ratio?!"
His entire body trembled in outrage.
"I have a SYSTEM!"
"I want instant power—pay, and BOOM, I'm stronger!"
"Who the hell wants to work hard?!"
He felt tainted.
"Filthy!"
"My body's contaminated by this blood!"
"Ptui! Ptui! Ptui!"
He patted his body violently, as if trying to wipe off something disgusting.
"No way!"
"This dirty blood has to be diluted!"
Fuming, he reopened the System panel and slammed the button again.
"SYSTEM!"
He gritted his teeth.
"Erase this trash bloodline!"
"Do another draw—right now!"
[Ding!]
[Cost: 100 Million Berry]
[Remaining Assets: 4.32 Billion Berry]
Another mysterious box appeared, shimmering faintly.
"OPEN!"
Whirrr!
This time, the light was brilliant and holy—pure white flames erupting outward, searing the air itself.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Bloodline: Lunarian!]
"—Huh?!"
Akira's rage vanished instantly.
His eyes widened.
"Lunarian?!"
He quickly opened the description.
[Bloodline Details: The user can sacrifice defense to ignite the Divine Flame—a fire that greatly enhances speed and attack power.]
[Bonus: Fire Wings that can be manifested or hidden at will.]
"Holy crap!"
His eyes sparkled.
"This is… King's race!"
"The so-called 'Gods' of the New World!"
"A top-tier bloodline!"
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Elation exploded in his chest.
"This one's insane!"
"This isn't a loss—this is a jackpot!"
"No, this is divine luck!"
He rubbed his hands together eagerly, ready to test his new power.
"Bonus: Fire wings that can appear or vanish at will…"
"Alright then—manifest!"
In his mind, he whispered the command.
"Emerge!"
Shraaaang!!
Power surged from his back like an erupting volcano!
His black shirt tore apart as—
BOOOOM!
A pair of massive, terrifying wings burst forth from his back!
They blazed with roaring black flames, flooding the entire room with flickering shadows of red and violet.
A wave of heat and pressure from a single flap sent the massive bed slamming into the wall!
"This… this is incredible…"
Akira stared at the wings—feeling raw, primal strength pulsing through him,
as if it had always been part of his very being.
He tried flapping them gently.
Whooosh!
A violent gust of wind blasted through the room—
CRASH!
His head smashed straight through the ceiling.
"Damn! That thrust's insane!"
He yanked his head back out of the hole, covered in dust but grinning ear to ear.
The urge to take flight consumed him.
"If I actually flew with these… my speed would be monstrous!"
He focused again.
"Disappear."
The black wings dissolved into shimmering embers before vanishing completely,
his skin returning to normal without a single mark left behind.
"Perfect!"
Akira smirked.
"My luck's back!"
"The gods are on my side again!"
He glanced at his remaining balance—4.3 billion Berry—his grin turning wild.
"While the streak's hot—keep going!"
Without hesitation, he slammed the Bloodline Lottery button again.
[Ding!]
[Cost: 100 Million Berry]
[Remaining Assets: 4.22 Billion Berry]
The third box appeared.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Bloodline: Oni!]
"..."
The joy on Akira's face froze solid.
He blinked several times to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.
"Oni… blood?"
He opened the description.
[Bloodline Details: Strength ×3, Endurance ×3.]
[User's height adjusted to adult Oni standard: 3 meters.]
[Bonus: Oni Horns—can be manifested or hidden at will.]
"..."
Akira's expression tightened somewhere between confusion and disbelief.
"What the hell is this?"
"There's even Oni blood in the pool now?!"
But as he focused inward,
he could feel it—an overwhelming surge of primal, beast-like energy coursing through his veins.
It was raw.
Wild.
Dominant.
His body's strength and resilience spiked severalfold in an instant.
"This…"
"This is actually… pretty damn good."
He muttered, rubbing his forehead unconsciously.
"Bonus: Oni horns, huh…"
"Alright. Let's see them."
A tingling sensation spread across his temples—
Hissss…
Two solid, dark red horns emerged from the sides of his head, curving upward with a menacing aura.
Akira walked toward the cracked mirror—the same one that had shattered earlier when the bed hit the wall.
Staring back at him was a man with black hair, sharp eyes, and now—
two massive horns eerily similar to Kaido's and Yamato's.
"..."
He stared at his reflection for a long time.
Then slowly—very slowly—his lips curved into a crooked smile.
"Well…"
"Now I really do have Oni blood."
He reached up and brushed his fingertips along the horns.
A low chuckle escaped his throat.
"So that's how it is, huh?"
"I guess…"
"I'm officially part of Kaido and Yamato's family now."
