One Piece's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 39
If one could live well, no one would willingly go to prison and suffer.
After some negotiation, Jon successfully procured Dr. Genus’s technical support as he wished.
Thanks to the S-Class Hero, Skywalker, vouching for him, Dr. Genus was officially registered with the Hero Association and became a semi-free researcher.
As for King, unsurprisingly, he gained numerous admirers, adding a colorful stroke to the legend of “the Strongest Man on the Earth.”
In this incident, all three parties benefited, and everyone had a bright future.
Task assigned.
Jon’s Legendary Level soared, advancing to level 3.
Waving goodbye to King, he returned to the Association’s exclusive lounge and summoned a system visible only to himself.
[Current World: “One Punch Man”]
[Location: S-City]
[Legendary Status: Level 3 (11/1000), Next Stage Legendary Reward: Deep Meditation]
[Associated World Legendary Events: “Ambushed” – You encountered a giant attacking the city.
“Savior” – After fighting for dozens of minutes, you finally defeated the giant and saved City B.
“Acknowledgement of the Master” – The top martial arts master recognized your character and strength.
“Path of the Swordsman” – With a sword in hand, the army is like a child’s play. Your swordsmanship has reached a transcendent level.
“Lucky One” – Who says luck isn’t part of strength? Discovering and following the “Lucky” person is also a kind of “Strength” in some sense.]
[Interdimensional Gate Not Established (Upon reaching Level 3 Legendary Level, an Interdimensional Gate could be established to return to the original world)]
[Available Reward: True King Engine]
“Lucky One.”
Glancing over the list of “Legendary Events,” Jon’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
Indeed.
From beginning, he hadn’t lifted a finger, merely tagging along with King.
The result? His “Legendary Level” value soared even higher than defeating a giant!
It’s ridiculous! King, truly a man favored by the will of the world.
King sure was reliable!
As he pondered, Jon chose to receive the reward.
In an instant, a warm current surged into his body.
Like breathing, Jon naturally grasped the new ability.
“True King Engine”
By accelerating the heart rate, blood circulation sped up. Once activated, the body’s strength would be greatly enhanced.
Because the mind becomes more acute during Adrenaline Rush, it became easy to achieve targets that were previously unclear, unheard, or impossible to achieve during high-speed movement.
Jon fell silent.
Although it had a different name, wasn’t this Luffy’s “Second Gear”?
What a guy, stealing not only martial arts and sword sstyle, and now even someone else’s power-up method.
Jon, the true thief!
After a brief practice, Jon nodded in satisfaction.
With the “True King Engine,” his overall strength had at least doubled compared to before! However, it was absurdly taxing.
High blood flow rate and high heart rate frequency would impose a considerable burden on the body, even reducing lifespan.
But for Jon, these were just minor issues.
Do you understand the true value of, “Ripple Energy”?
While using the Second Gear would shorten Luffy’s life, it was because he only focused on enhancing his external body parts.
Jon was different.
He trained both internal and external organs!
As long as the “True King Engine” wasn’t used too long, he could live until he was a hundred or eighty years old,.
Thinking of this, Jon couldn’t help but think of his old father.
Although the trajectory of the old man’s life had changed as he hadn’t been terrorized by vampires or cheated on by college girls, it didn’t change the fact that he had not practiced Ripple.
Judging from the time, in a few years, he might suffer from dementia.
“I still have to give the old man some medicine to prevent that.”
Jon stroked his smooth chin, silently thinking, “Dr. Genus has the ‘rejuvenation’ technology in his possession, might as well use it.”
A filial son’s smile played on his lips.
Old man, no need thank me, this was what I should do.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Jon didn’t continue his hero activities but went on a crazy shopping spree.
Food, clothing, transportation, and entertainments.
Whatever caught his eye would be stuffed into his ‘Personal Space’!
Once everything was purchased, Jon bid farewell to Sitch and returned to his original world directly through the “Interdimensional Gate” installed at the Hero Association.
The Joestar Manor remained the same, with hardly any changes since he left.
Seeing Jon, Suzi Q was overjoyed.
But in the blink of an eye, the old lady became sulky again, gritting her teeth: “You little rascal, you finally decide to come back!”
“Hehehe.”
Jon had anticipated this and presented gifts brought back from modern society to please her.
Shoes, bags, clothes, hats, jewelry, perfume, you name it.
The old lady’s eyes lit up.
Jon took the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot: “Mom, don’t you know your son’s strength? I was just wandering around outside, there’s no danger.”
Wandering around (×)
Taking down a 270-meter-tall giant single-handedly (?)
Being reborn into two worlds, Jon understood one thing: when dealing with parents, you can’t go against them, you have to go along with them~
Hearing Jon’s words, Suzi Q’s expression seemed slightly better, but she still wouldn’t let it go.
“I gave birth to you almost at the age of fifty, can’t you make me worry less?”
With that, she seemed to have made up her mind about something.
“Jon, you’re not getting any younger, it’s time to get a girlfriend, get married, and have children.”
In her opinion, if her youngest son started a family, he would be more stable than before.
At these words, Jon’s eyelids twitched, and he mumbled, “Um… hahaha, there’s no rush for that, I’m still young, let’s talk about it in a couple of years.”
What a joke.
Women could affect the speed of my punches or drawing my sword!
Suzi Q seemed disappointed.
Silly child, when I was your age, I was already sleeping with your deadbeat dad.
Home was a sanctuary for the soul.
The sense of security brought by one’s own bedroom was incomparable to the rooms on the Moby Dick or the Hero Association’s exclusive lounge.
By the way, Genus’s “Rejuvenation” potion is very effective.
After the old couple drank it, they visibly looked younger.
The always humorou Joseph even declared his intention to have another child out of excitement.
The result, of course, was Suzi Q’s hammering retort, forcing him to give up on the idea.
(Joseph: SON OF A BITCH, I was just joking, you menopausal lunatic!) (Suzi Q: Ora Ora Ora Ora!)
The “door” showed no signs of desire for evolution, so Jon didn’t rush to find the remaining Arrows.
After staying at home for a few days, he met up with a few friends and specifically called to inquire about Bucciarati’s situation with the help of the SPW Education Foundation.
Learning that young Bucciarati had become the top student in the class, Jon was extremely pleased.
