As Yuki flew above the blue and sparkling ocean along with Dragon, he couldn't help but retract his attention from his system and ask him "Oy Dragon, how can you fly? Is this some kind of devil fruit power that allows you to control the wind or is it something else?"
Dragon stared at Yuki stoically before he turned his head around and replied "Who knows…"
A few veins instantly appeared on Yuki's head and he truly felt like punching this arrogant guy that clearly didn't trust him for some reason in the balls but he knew that he had no chance of beating him so he held himself back and thought 'Just wait, I will make you regret acting this way toward me…'
Then Yuki refocused back on his system and Dragon couldn't help but frown as he stared at him secretly 'This kid is weird, why does he lose focus and emit this creepy aura whenever he falls silent? Is he plotting something? or is he just creepy by nature?' Dragon couldn't help but wonder…
Meanwhile, Yuki began checking the rewards he received just from arriving to this world with an excited look on his face…
[Armament Haki (1/10): Focuses the will of the user to cover any part of the body to create something akin to an armor that increases the host's damage and defense. It also grants the user the ability to touch and harm elemental or spiritual entities. Current base damage and defense increase (Will * level) %]
[Observation Haki (1/10): The user spreads their will to their surroundings granting them a sixth sense that allows them to sense the presence, strength, intent, and emotions of others, as well as gain limited precognitive abilities. The smaller the ranger the higher the accuracy. Current range (Will x level) meters. Can only detect presence.]
'I wonder if I unlocked them thanks to my Immortal stand's effect in increasing my Will by a factor of 15… it seems like I'm going to be a Haki menace even despite my will attribute being recently acquired' Thought Yuki with a grin although it soon faded as he thought
'It seems like it only increases my base damage and defense which is unfortunate, if my overall defense was the one being increased, I can't even imagine anyone being able to kill me anymore…'
After this, Yuki opened his status window to check the changes in it

'Hmm, my will attribute is only 10? Is that good or bad I wonder… But even with just this, thanks to my immortal stand ability, it's like having a will of 150 value. Meaning that my attack power has been increased by 150%! Incredible' Thought Yuki and then he realized that his observation Haki's range was 150 meters as well and he couldn't help but start smiling like an idiot creeping Dragon even more…
'It was the right decision to come to this world' concluded Yuki as he then simply observed the world around him and refrained from testing his abilities with someone like Dragon nearby…

…
Not long after, they arrived at Shimotsuki village, it was a small island with a unique style that resemble old Japanese architecture, and currently, Yuki could see that Dragon was flying toward a giant ship that had its bow carved into a long red dragon.
This was his own ship, and they seemed to be loading some items into it… 'As I thought, this dojo is truly related to the revolutionaries in one way or another, is it because of Zoro's teacher? I wonder…'
As Yuki concluded this thought, they flew down from the sky and many revolutionaries instantly surrounded them and started asking Dragon "Dragon-san, who's this?"
A girl that was slim, curvaceous, and has a pronounced hourglass figure eyed Yuki curiously as she waited for their leader's answer… She was intrigued as she could see that Dragon didn't have the best impression of Yuki from the weird look he shot him when he was being questioned.
her hair was orange and she wore a crimson newsboy cap with gold goggles, a pink shirt with a frilly collar, a maroon short skirt, and black thigh-high stockings with brown high-heeled boots.
Yuki noticed her and was able to recognize her immediately 'I believe her name was Koala? Does that mean Sabo is also around?' Wondered Yuki as he heard Dragon give a brief introduction to his men before he turned to Yuki and asked
"What do you plan to do now?"
"As I said, I'm going to give this dojo a visit… thanks for the ride by the way, if I ever need anything, I will be sure to call you my good friend" Replied Yuki with a shameless smile stumping Dragon for what to say and shocking the living hell out of his subordinates who never saw him getting this mind fucked…
'Who's this guy?' Koala's curiosity intensified as she watched Yuki moving away and a blonde-haired guy with a scar on the left side of his face suddenly approached her and said with an intrigued smile breaking the eerie silence
"What an intriguing guy, he's definitely something if he could make Dragon-san react like this"
"Sabo-kun, so you also think so" Spoke Koala excitedly while shaking Sabo's hand like a little kid and Sabo simply smiled and turned to Dragon and noticed that he appeared thoughtful before he said "Send someone to keep an eye on him just in case"
Sabo narrowed his eyes at this, feeling that something wasn't right but Koala's eyes instantly lit up as she started running after Yuki while yelling "I will do ittttt" Before disappearing into the distance.
Surprisingly, no one seemed worried for her and simply turned back to loading their ship with their needs… Although they didn't forget about that weird guy…
…
Meanwhile, Yuki slowly made his way further deep into the village while noting inside his mind ' This looks so much like an ancient Japanese village… it seems like Zoro's hometown is truly special'
After asking for directions from a few villagers about the location of the dojo and finding that it was situated on top of a hill, Yuki made his way there and heard the sounds of people uniformly swinging swords rhythmically.
Yuki entered without creating much noise and watched calmly as both small children and adults were swinging their swords as a lone man who was probably their teacher sat to the side on his knees.
He had a dark ponytail and wore round glasses and seemed completely harmless from his disposition, although Yuki didn't believe that for a second for he also uses that same face to trick people so why wouldn't other people use it for similar purposes...
"Oh, we have a visitor, how can I help you?" Spoke Koushirou while standing up and making his way towards Yuki who smiled politely and said "I want to learn the way of the sword"
Koushirou paused slightly and took a good look at Yuki and he could tell that he trained before from his fit body, but then he stared at his green eyes and despite the polite smile he had on his face, he for some reason felt a chill as if he was going to lose something precious if he isn't careful or doesn't immediately distance him by a few islands from his Dojo…
"There are plenty of places that teach people how to wield the sword, may I ask what attracted you to our small dojo?"
Yuki's smile twitched slightly as he thought 'Someone else doesn't trust me huh… Fucking Dragon and his curse' But Yuki was prepared and calmly responded "Many places teach how to wield a sword, but what I want to learn is the way of the sword itself"
Koushirou's closed eyes opened slightly as he asked "The way of the sword isn't about just wielding a sword, it's a way of life, that requires following certain principles, are you sure you want to follow it?"
Koala watched all of this in intrigue while hiding behind the corner and she couldn't help but wonder "This is my first time seeing Koushirou-san getting serious… I'm glad I followed him"
Meanwhile, Yuki stared at Koushirou silently before he smirked and said "I won't lie to you, I already have something very annoying that controls a huge part of my life, I'm not letting anything else decide the way I live, although I don't necessarily think that my way of life is wrong to begin with, so I will probably hit it off with the way of the sword don't you think?"
Yuki for the first time showed part of his true self to Koushirou and the latter could instantly sense the wild aura gushing from every fiber of his body which reminded him of his favorite student making him quite nostalgic so he smiled and said
"Fine then, I hope that will truly be the case, either way, you won't go far if you are lying, for you can't lie to your own sword" As Koushirou said this, he made way to Yuki to enter and said to the other students "Welcome our new student"
Everyone stopped swinging their swords and started observing Yuki before one of them noticed Yuki searching for any valuables in the Dojo so he complained and said "Teacher, this guy is kind of creepy, do we really need to accept him?"
Yuki's lips twitched when he heard this and his face only continued to grow darker as the others shared this guy's view while Koushirou simply smiled carelessly so Yuki made his way to a rack that had a few wooden swords and picked one before he turned to every single student in the room and said
"If I don't beat the crap out of all of you today, my name won't be Yuki!"
'Yuki huh? is he also from there?' wondered Koushirou before he shook his head and watched as the provoked crowd began attacking Yuki and he simply beat all of them up, both the old or the children showing just how petty he was but Koushirou didn't mind as he simply thought
'It seems like he trained swordsmanship before, and under a good teacher as well… Interesting'
After Yuki beat everyone and started mocking them to add salt to their injury, Koushirou approached him and said "Yuki-kun, you said you want to learn the way of the sword right? Let me give you a glimpse of it"
Then he picked up a wooden sword and stood in front of the surprised Yuki...
