One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

After purchasing the disguise tools, Kiro bought some groceries on the way home.

After all, the previous food had already been eaten by myself, who had learned to return life.

After quickly finishing his lunch, Kiro pulled out the disguise tools he had just bought and walked up to Robin.

"Kilo, what are these?" Robin blinked her big, round eyes, looking curious.

"Tools for disguise. With them, we can walk around openly without worrying about getting into trouble."

"Come on, let's see how it works!"

Robin sat obediently in the chair, while Kiro took out some disguise materials and started fiddling with Robin's face.

Because there was a small mirror right in front of me.

Robin watched helplessly as his face gradually changed into a different shape.

A moment later, Kiro clapped his hands, looked at Robin's current appearance, and nodded in satisfaction.

The tinted foundation, made from mineral powder, plant pigments, and seaweed oil, made Robin's original wheat-colored skin even whiter.

The sculpting mud, made from a mixture of small sea monster fat and plant resin, altered Robin's signature high nose bridge.

The entire face shape has also changed with Kilo's subtle adjustments.

With all these subtle changes combined, Robin's current face is completely different from the one on the wanted poster.

Aside from those familiar with Robin, almost no one recognizes her now.

Moreover, the portrait on the wanted poster is somewhat distorted, which increases the difficulty of identification.

"Wow! How amazing!" Robin exclaimed, curiously touching the sculpting material on her face, even feeling that it was similar to the texture of real skin.

Kiro then looked in the mirror and started fiddling with his face.

Although it's not very convenient, it's still manageable with the help of a mirror.

A moment later, a somewhat dull-looking, plain-looking boy appeared in the mirror.

Compared to his original delicate features, Kiro's current face is more dull and ordinary. He would probably be lost in a crowd and not be recognized at all.

It bears absolutely no resemblance to anything before.

Almost no one would be able to associate this unremarkable face with Kiro on the wanted poster.

"Kilo, I almost didn't recognize you!" Robin was a little surprised, clicking her tongue in amazement as she looked at Kilo's face.

If she hadn't witnessed the disguise process, she probably wouldn't have believed that the dull-witted boy in front of her was Kiro.

Kiro was quite satisfied with the disguise technique he had learned and nodded.

This is just a beginner-level disguise technique.

If you max out your proficiency, you might actually be able to achieve the same level of disguise as Xiao Feng.

Kilo was somewhat intrigued and opened the panel to give it a try.

【"Disguise" (Beginner)】

Upgrading to 'Proficient' level requires 10 points.

Kilo's heart skipped a beat.

[Should I upgrade "Disguise" to "Mastery" proficiency?]

This upgrade requires 50 points.

"hiss!"

Kilo was taken aback; this price was indeed not cheap.

However, the panel is never dishonest; this price only shows that the disguise effect of the "Great Completion" proficiency level is quite exaggerated.

I estimate that his disguise skills are roughly on par with Xiao Feng's.

Kilo is currently short of money, with only 9 points left, so he puts this idea out of his mind for the time being.

After confirming that there were no obvious flaws in their disguises, Kiro raised an eyebrow.

"Now that we look like this, we don't have to worry about anyone recognizing us through the wanted posters."

"This disguise can last for half a month at a time."

"Remember, when you don't have a disguise, it's best not to show your true face."

Robin nodded, then turned her head and thought for a moment, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Kilo, when are we going to find Saul?"

"Once we buy a boat, we'll set off to find him."

Kiro took out the note that Aokiji had written to him, which showed Saul's current location.

"Flame Island?"

Kilo scratched his head, having absolutely no recollection of the island's name.

It must be an island that did not appear in the original work.

After all, the West Sea is only one of the four seas, and the comic cannot possibly introduce too much information in detail.

However, to reach Flame Island, one needs not only a navigable ship, but also a compass to guide the way.

After all, the world of One Piece is a vast ocean with unpredictable and complex weather. Without a compass or a skilled navigator to guide you, the most likely outcome is getting lost at sea.

Getting lost on the boundless sea is no joke; the vastness of the ocean means it's unlikely you'll encounter other ships.

For example, in the manga, Sanji and Zeff were stranded at sea and went hungry for almost three months before they were discovered.

If he were to accidentally get lost, Kiro didn't think he could survive for three months.

"Let's go, let's go out and buy a boat and a compass!" Kiro slung his bag over his shoulder, which was filled with heavy Beli.

Aside from the tens of millions of Berries that weren't used up last time, some were taken from Brigadier General Kuka of the 72nd Branch.

All in all, it amounts to approximately 150 million Berries.

If you just want to build a regular boat that can accommodate a few people and has all the necessary functions.

These are well over budget, more than enough.

However, if the ship is to be able to support Saul's weight, it would probably need more than 100 million Berries.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about this!" Kiro picked up an incredibly heavy cloth bag containing sea stone he had taken from the Oni Spider's flagship.

He planned to have most of the sea stone engraved on the bottom of the ship that was about to be built.

If sea stone could be inlaid on the bottom of a ship, it could effectively prevent attacks from sea monsters.

The remaining small group will stay behind to act unexpectedly and effectively restrain those with special abilities at crucial moments.

Upon thinking of sea kings, Kiro suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The proficiency panel is filled by defeating powerful enemies.

If we're talking about the most numerous and powerful enemies in the world of One Piece, then the countless Sea Kings in the ocean are undoubtedly the ones.

With Kilo's current strength, ordinary small sea kings pose no threat to him.

This means that if we can avoid the powerful, giant, and large sea kings and only look for the medium and small sea kings...

Perhaps he can quickly acquire a large number of points by killing a large number of sea monsters in the ocean!

Embedding seastone in the hull of the ship could reduce the risk of attacks from giant sea monsters.

With a large influx of points, Kilo can continuously upgrade his deduction skills, grow stronger, and reap even more points...

A perfect virtuous cycle!

Once things settle down, I definitely have to give it a try!

……

Half an hour later.

The two walked down the street without attracting much attention.

After all, under their disguises, they were just two ordinary children.

"Hey, have you seen the recent news?!"

"It's said that a great pirate has emerged in the West Blue, and he's also some kind of swordsman!"

"It seems like we're still on our Liuhua Island!!"

Several passersby were holding newspapers and discussing the news with exaggerated expressions.

Kilo, who was passing by, felt a little embarrassed. As he walked along the street, he noticed that everyone was talking about this.

After all, Robin's bounty of 79 million in the original work caused a huge uproar, let alone the 130 million bounty that has been more than half over.

Even patrolling naval personnel can be seen on the streets from time to time, scanning passersby with sharp eyes.

Robin nervously tugged at Kiro's sleeve.

"It's alright, don't worry! Our disguise will be fine!"

Kilo offered a soft word of comfort and calmly walked past the naval patrol.

Although he wasn't afraid of being discovered, it would be best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
