One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

The moment the simulation ended, a familiar feeling washed over him, and Kiro felt a splitting headache, gritting his teeth tightly.

A long string of memories and insights about the Breath of Thunder appeared out of nowhere, surging in and crashing into my brain.

In his memory, he seemed to have practiced the Breath of Thunder for countless days and nights, and through his unwavering perseverance through wind and rain, he comprehended the essence of lightning, resonated with lightning, and learned this Heavenly Thunder Movement.

As before, a warm feeling flowed through his meridians, nourishing Kiro's body, and he immediately felt that his physical fitness had significantly improved.

After digesting all the information, Kiro sat up and sorted through the complex memories in his mind.

This simulation surprised him quite a bit.

This time, the new skills I acquired were quite different from what I had imagined.

The Gale Breath obtained during the previous deduction of Breath of the Wind enhances all the original moves and adds new special effects.

You could say that Gale Breath is an enhanced version of Breath of the Wind.

However, the new Heavenly Thunder Movement he has now obtained is quite different from the Thunder Breathing he had imagined; it has become a skill that can be activated actively.

It can give Kilo a significant speed boost and a slight increase in power instantly.

Even from the description, it's clear that Heavenly Thunder Strike is a very powerful move.

In the original Demon Slayer manga, Zenitsu Agatsuma honed his Thunderclap Flash technique to its extreme, pursuing ultimate speed and reaching the pinnacle of power, making his techniques terrifying.

Therefore, the power of the Heavenly Thunder Movement, which maximizes strength and speed, is self-evident.

It's obviously inconvenient right now, so Kilo plans to test the power of the Heavenly Thunder at a later time.

As he carefully recalled the vast amount of information flooding his mind, Kiro noticed another anomaly.

During the simulation, the "normal" state of Thunder Breathing underwent a complete transformation.

After the transformation, the breathing technique is not only maintained during sleep, but can be used in any state to naturally temper the body's cells and stimulate muscles with a weak electric current to enhance physical strength.

As Kilo's breathing rose and fell, a distinct, tingling, needle-like sensation emanated from his body, as if every muscle was being stimulated by an electric current.

"Amazing!" Kiro was shocked. This was the first time he had ever seen a breathing technique that constantly tempered the body.

Since arriving in the world of One Piece, physical fitness has been his most pressing concern.

The transformed Thunder Breathing's "Normal" state can solve this problem!

After carefully sensing the 'normal' state, and calming down a bit, Kiro looked at the special effects section.

The special effects bar for "Thunderous Strike" surprised him; there was only one effect, "Final Form: Thunder God," which was not yet unlocked.

As attention focused, a line of information appeared next to the effects panel.

[Special Effects: Final Form - Thor]

[Unlocked upon reaching Mastery Proficiency]

Aside from that, there's no further information, so it seems we'll have to wait until later to find out how effective this special effect is.

Kilo calmed his mind, exhaled deeply, and spontaneously resumed his normal state.

As he practiced the breathing technique, a faint electric current emanated from all parts of his body. At first, it was a stinging sensation, but as he gradually adapted, Kiro actually felt somewhat comfortable.

Electric shock? Comfortable?

Suddenly remembering something, Kiro shivered violently.

hiss!

Do I have masochistic tendencies?!

Shaking his head, Kilo quickly dismissed the unrealistic idea and comforted himself.

Yes, this is just tempering the body, nothing more!

......

The next morning, Robin finished getting ready and went out of his room. He saw a figure sweating profusely doing push-ups in the living room, breathing rhythmically.

"Oh, you're awake?"

Kilo exhaled a long breath of white steam, stopped what he was doing, and quickly put on his coat.

"Come on, let's go outside!"

"Hmm!" Robin nodded, but seemed a little confused.

"Where are you going out to?"

Kiro picked up his backpack full of Pele, smiled mysteriously upon hearing this, and offered no explanation.

After checking out of the hotel, Kiro led Robin toward the central area of ​​Liuhua Island.

A light mist shrouded Liuhua Island, famous for its flowers, in the early morning. It was the height of summer in July, and all kinds of flowers lined the town's paths, adding a touch of fragrance to the cool morning air.

As the two approached the central area, the buildings along the road became increasingly exquisite and magnificent, exuding a sense of luxury.

Upon entering the upscale residential area, Kiro and Robin stopped and looked up to see a magnificent and exquisite house before them.

A sign that read "For Rent" hung on the door, and a man who had been waiting for a long time stood at the door.

Upon seeing Kiro appear, his eyes lit up, and he quickly went to greet him.

"You must be Mr. Kiro, who pre-booked this house this morning!"

Kiro nodded. This morning, he had borrowed a Den Den Mushi from the old hotel and followed the GG in the newspaper to find the house that was currently being rented out.

This house is located in a central residential area, so not many people usually pass by. There's no need to worry about too many people coming into contact with Robin and exposing his identity.

The house has a spacious layout, with three floors containing several bedrooms, a study, and a kitchen. It has all the necessary amenities, which is more than enough for Kiro and Robin.

After handing over the keys to Bailey and settling the rental arrangements, Kiro took the keys from the man and quickly settled his luggage.

After finishing dealing with the housing issue, Kiro turned around and looked at Robin's patched-up linen shirt.

"Robin, do you want to buy some new clothes?"

Robin's eyes lit up at the mention of this, but he hesitated, clutching the hem of his shirt in his hand. "But, those new clothes are quite expensive!"

"I can't spend your money!"

Kiro chuckled and couldn't resist reaching out to gently scratch her nose.

"What's this? I have a whole backpack full of Berries!"

Kiro already regarded Robin, who had saved his life by chance, as his younger sister.

Robin's eyes lit up as she heard Kiro's words, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded.

After all, what girl doesn't love new clothes?

......

"This one...and this one!"

Kiro casually pointed to two pieces of clothing on display.

A sales assistant standing nearby asked a question.

"Sir, are these the only two items you want?"

"No, we don't want these two. Pack everything else!"

Robin, who was admiring her new clothes in front of the mirror, widened her eyes upon hearing this, her pretty gaze filled with shock.

She tugged at Kiro's sleeve and muttered softly.

"Too many, Kiro!"

"There's no need to buy so much!"

Kilo, however, didn't seem to care. Amidst the shocked gazes of the other guests, he picked up several bags full of clothes and grinned.

By the time the two finished shopping, it was nearly afternoon.

Robin was initially a bit hesitant, but after buying a lot of things, she gradually loosened up and bought a large number of books that interested her at a historic bookstore.

Using her Devil Fruit powers to carry a huge pile of newly bought books, Robin pushed open the wooden door, cheered, and pounced on the soft sofa with the books in her arms.

The room wasn't furnished much, but it was enough for the two of them. After a simple morning of tidying up, the everyday furniture exuded a relaxing and cozy atmosphere.

Kiro busied himself in the kitchen, efficiently processing and cooking the freshly bought ingredients into dishes. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the petite figure curled up on the sofa, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

He hadn't felt this warm and cozy feeling in a long time.

Pfft!

The gushing steam pulled him back to reality. Kiro took off his apron and brought out several steaming dishes from the kitchen.

"Robin, dinner's ready!"

"Okay!"

"Wait, you need to wash your hands first!"

"What? You're saying the hands created by a Devil Fruit are clean?"

"No, you still need to wash your hands!"

......

Robin ate the steaming hot food with gusto, paused for a moment after taking a bite, and then squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

Having lived two lives, Kiro's cooking skills are quite good. Although he can't compare to professional chefs like Zeff and Sanji, his dishes are still delicious.

While in Ohara, Robin was often neglected at Aunt Rocky's house, and the food she was given could only satisfy her most basic need for food.

Where have I ever eaten such delicious food?

As Robin devoured the steaming hot food, tears suddenly streamed down her face; she had never felt anything like it before.

It's really nice to have someone take care of your feelings!

Kiro remained silent, his gaze softening as he reflected on Robin's hardships.

He had a lonely childhood and had to grow up in hiding.

However, now that Kiro has arrived, he naturally won't let that happen.
