One Piece: My Uncle Is Kizaru

###

**[Companion: Morgan (Daikokuten Yama)]**

**[Talent: C]**

**[Level: 1]**

**[EXP: 0/100]**

**[Combat Power: 27]**

...

**[Total Talent: 270]**

**[Strength Talent: 90]**

**[Stamina Talent: 100]**

**[Agility Talent: 50]**

**[Spirit Talent: 30]**

...

The above was Morgan's complete attribute panel after loading the character template.

"90 in strength and 100 in stamina—these stats are even higher than Tashigi's, even with her Zanpakutō!"

"It seems even C-rank characters aren't necessarily trash!"

In the captain's cabin of the *Diga*, Kyle sat in his chair, his eyes gleaming.

Like Tashigi, after loading the template of the Ghoul Yamori, Morgan also gained a unique skill tied to the character template...

The Kagune, the Ghoul's weapon for combat and feeding!

Since this was a system-granted skill, Morgan didn't inherit the physiological traits of a Ghoul.

He wouldn't crave human flesh, nor would he gain strength from consuming it.

Kyle had already guessed this would be the case.

Just like how Tashigi had gained spiritual energy but didn't know how to infuse it into her Zanpakutō to awaken its hidden power.

Even though they inherited the power system and knowledge of the character templates, they couldn't enhance the template's strength through any means other than leveling up.

All the rules were firmly under the system's control.

In the past, Kyle had thought this restriction was overly cautious, limiting Tashigi's potential.

But after obtaining Daikokuten Yama's character card, he realized just how important this restriction was!

It was precisely because of this limitation that Morgan could perfectly inherit the Ghoul's abilities without bearing any of the risks!

The ever-changing Kagune, the powerful regenerative abilities, and the potential to awaken as a Half-Kakuja in the future!

Even though he was only a C-rank character, Kyle was very satisfied!

Closing Morgan's attribute panel, Kyle turned to look out the window.

The bright sunlight scattered across the vast sea, glistening like gold.

The *Diga* floated like a leaf on the waves, rising and falling as it sailed toward its next destination.

By now, several hours had passed since they raided the G-153 Marine base.

Kyle had already reported the situation at G-153 to Fleet Admiral Sengoku in detail.

As an outstanding special agent, he could decide on his course of action in emergencies, but he had to report to his superiors immediately afterward.

Even though his pirate crew was starting to take shape thanks to the system, Kyle still perfectly played the role of a special agent.

As it turned out, Kyle's decision was the right one!

Because just now...

Fleet Admiral Sengoku had promised to give him a Devil Fruit!

The story went like this...

Kyle first reported Morgan and the situation at G-153 to Sengoku, embellishing the details.

The Fleet Admiral, who always worried about the world's troubles, slammed his desk in anger!

Even through the Den Den Mushi's eyes, Kyle could see the burning fury!

Sengoku hadn't expected...

A pirate with a mere 16 million Beri bounty could manipulate an entire Marine base.

And cause such immense psychological trauma to an excellent Marine like Morgan!

Thankfully, Kyle's abilities were exceptional, and he had discovered Morgan's issues in time, preventing the situation from worsening.

What Kuro had done was a great insult to the Marines!

So Sengoku immediately assigned Kyle a new side mission...

Find the hidden Black Cat Kuro somewhere in the East Blue!

Searching for a pirate who had been in hiding for years in the vast sea was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So Sengoku didn't set too many requirements for the task, only hoping Kyle would do his best.

And he added that if Kyle could indeed find the Black Cat Kuro, who had tarnished the Marines' honor...

He would personally reward Kyle with a Zoan-type Devil Fruit!

Even though Kyle already had the Storm-Storm Fruit, this Devil Fruit could be used to solidify his crew's loyalty!

To this, Kyle thought...

"Loyalty? Isn't that something the crew already has?"

Of course, he wouldn't foolishly refuse Sengoku's offer!

A Devil Fruit, even if he couldn't use it, could sell for over 100 million Beri!

This money was practically free!

Who could refuse!?

As for Kyle's raid on the G-153 base, he mentioned it briefly in the call, but Sengoku didn't care.

After all, they were on the same side, and the resources might be more valuable in Kyle's hands.

...

"Diga, call everyone out."

After taking stock of their current resources, Kyle headed to the deck.

At the moment, his crew was busy organizing the loot from the Marine base in the lower decks.

Since they had been in a hurry and the Marines hadn't been very enthusiastic...

The items had been haphazardly thrown into the ship's hold.

Now, his three crew members were sorting everything out.

At Diga's telepathic call, Tashigi and the others quickly arrived on the deck.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

Tashigi, the first to arrive, blinked curiously.

For convenience, she had rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, revealing her slender wrists and fair skin.

"You'll find out soon!"

Kyle smiled mysteriously.

Once Koby and the newly joined Morgan also emerged from the hold, Kyle cleared his throat.

"Ahem."

"Everyone, as you know, I am a user of the Imagination-Imagination Fruit."

"Today, I successfully used my imagination to transform Morgan's body."

Kyle raised a hand, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Morgan.

Koby even looked on with envy at the crimson, scale-covered tentacle extending from Morgan's waist like a third arm.

While working earlier, that tentacle had fully demonstrated its practicality.

No matter how narrow the gap, it could reach in and out with ease!

"When will I get to undergo Captain Kyle's transformation..."

Koby fantasized.

Kyle had told him that he was still too weak to withstand the power of imagination, so he had been training day and night.

Koby believed that one day, he too would gain that powerful and dazzling imaginative power.

*Clap clap.*

Two crisp claps brought Koby back to reality.

Kyle wore a confident smile as he spoke:

"Later, I will use my ability to make some modifications to the *Diga*."

"Since the process is unpredictable, you'll all need to stay on the deck for a while."

"No problem, Captain Kyle."

The three crew members responded immediately.

Kyle nodded with a smile.

This time, he had directly looted around 80 million Beri from the Marine base, along with 50 million Beri worth of valuables, weapons, and ammunition.

The valuables and weapons needed to be "fenced" at the right place, but the 80 million Beri had gone straight into Kyle's coffers.

This time, he planned to spend all of it on upgrading the *Diga*.

Now that the Twilight Pirates had a decent number of members, Tashigi no longer felt comfortable sleeping in Kyle's room.

To ensure his hardworking crew could maintain their best condition and continue training to contribute to his combat power...

Kyle decided to splurge and buy two crew quarters for his employees.

Since the system couldn't upgrade the ship while people were inside, he had called everyone to the deck.

With a thought, Kyle entered the system's shipyard interface.

To upgrade the *Diga* from Level 1 to Level 2, he needed 50 EXP, which equated to a whopping 50 million Beri!

If it weren't for the bountiful haul from the Marine base, he would never have been willing to invest such a sum.

After all, the previous gacha results had been quite good...

50 million Beri could have been another character card.

But...

Considering that upgrading the training room would guarantee an increase in the crew's progress...

Kyle chose the safer option.

Besides, once he sold the valuables, he'd have another 50 million Beri!

With his decision made, Kyle moved his consciousness to the *Diga*'s EXP bar, and 50 million Beri instantly vanished from his treasury.

At the same time...

The *Diga*'s hull was suddenly enveloped in a mystical glow!
