NOVEL WEB Chapter 31: Chapter 31
Not only Zoro, but even Nami was extremely excited.
"Genrou, if I choose Satou Kazuma's Heroic Spirit template, does that mean I'll be able to revive someone who died?"
Nami clutched Genrou's arm with both hands, her voice trembling, tears nearly brimming in her eyes.
Genrou, who knew the pasts of both Nami and Zoro, was well aware of their thoughts. Both of them had experienced the sudden loss of someone important.
Faced with a power that could bring someone back to life, it was impossible not to be moved.
"I'm sorry, Nami. Satou Kazuma and Aqua are different people, but due to a certain contract, they are tightly bound together."
"Because of that divine connection, even if Satou Kazuma dies, Aqua will revive him based on her own will."
"But that revival ability is something Aqua only uses on Satou Kazuma."
"In other words, if you inherit Satou Kazuma's Heroic Spirit template, then even if resurrection is possible, the only person who can be revived is the one using Satou Kazuma's Heroic Spirit template."
"Also, that revival ability has limitations."
"Once it's used, the 'Satou Kazuma' Heroic Spirit template enters a cooldown phase."
"During that time, none of Satou Kazuma's abilities can be used."
"To reactivate it, you'll need to consume a Devil Fruit."
Genrou shook his head as he explained to Nami.
All of this was information he had obtained from the system.
Even if he obtained the Satou Kazuma Heroic Spirit template himself, once he used the resurrection power, the template would still enter a cooldown state.
He could understand this. After all, the wise, blue-haired goddess Aqua wasn't truly by his side.
In that context, being able to revive someone even once through "Goddess Aqua's Blessing" was already an incredible blessing.
"I see… That makes sense. Resurrection can't be that easy."
Nami bit her lip, lowered her head, and let out a deep sigh.
Genrou quietly took a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her. Then he stood silently to the side, waiting for her decision.
After a while, a faint smile returned to Nami's face, and she spoke as if nothing had happened.
"Columbus, Cana, and Satou Kazuma... Although Columbus and Satou Kazuma's powers are quite interesting…"
"Satou Kazuma's Steal technique is definitely good, but I still choose Cana."
"I feel like we're a good match, fufufu~"
Saying that, Nami extended a finger and tapped on Kana's name.
As light surged into her body, she could instantly feel a mysterious power enter her. Her mind was flooded with knowledge about using card magic.
Unfortunately, there was no information among that knowledge about Yousei no Kouhikari (Fairy Glitter), one of the three great magics of Fairy Tail.
At the same time, the system's voice rang in Genrou's mind.
[Ding! Nami has made her choice and obtained the template of "Iron Liver" Kana Alberona. She has learned Kana Alberona's initial skill. More Heroic Spirit skills can be unlocked through training and strength growth.]
[Note: Spending Devil Fruits on companions can accelerate the progress of learning Heroic Spirit template skills, and may even unlock Ōgi (Secret Arts)!]
[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the "Iron Liver" Kana Alberona template and the "Thief" Satou Kazuma template. You now possess all Heroic Spirit skills.]
[Note: Although the host can acquire all Heroic Spirit skills, whether they can be used depends on the host's own strength.]
"So this is Kana's power... I even have Kana's cards with me?"
Nami curiously pulled out a few magic cards from her pocket.
These magic cards were exactly like the ones Kana had used in the earlier projection.
"Nami, quick! Try using that card magic! You should be able to unleash fire and lightning now, right?"
Luffy's eyes sparkled, eager to see Nami's new powers in action.
Nami nodded slightly. Once the Heroic Spirit space dissipated and everyone returned to the ship—
She couldn't wait to begin testing her new powers.
In an instant, flames, lightning, and water whips burst from her, crashing down on the distant sea surface.
I can really use these powers… Aside from a bit of stamina drain, there's no other side effect.
So Heroic Spirit templates really don't have any drawbacks after all...
Nami looked up at Genrou, a trace of guilt flashing through her heart.
But that guilt quickly turned into something else.
"Ne, Vice-Captain-sama."
"Didn't you say earlier you'd use a Devil Fruit to boost my power?"
"You know, I'm not a monster like Luffy or Zoro."
"If I don't use a Devil Fruit, it might take forever for me to fully master Kana's powers. So…"
By the end, she was even swinging Genrou's hand back and forth coquettishly.
"To fully master a Heroic Spirit's power, being deeply compatible with them also helps a lot."
"But, of course, it's not a guaranteed thing. Since I promised I'd lend you a Devil Fruit earlier, I'll keep my word."
As Genrou spoke, he opened his briefcase and took out the Ushi Ushi no Mi: Giraffe Model.
"You ready, Nami? This is the last time I'm asking. You're really going to use this Devil Fruit?"
"Of course! Genrou-fukuchou, I'm all yours!"
Nami spread her arms open wide, clearly ready for anything.
"As you wish."
Genrou flicked the Devil Fruit in his hand, and in the next moment, it turned into a beam of pure energy that surged directly into Nami's chest.
In an instant, she felt her heartbeat more than double.
At the same time, the mysterious tattoo on her chest—linked to the Kana Heroic Spirit template—grew brighter and more defined.
Seconds later, as the surrounding light faded, everyone could see a mysterious new tattoo appear on Nami's right wrist.
It was the same mark that Kana bore when she used Yousei no Kouhikari (Fairy Glitter).
