Kaito stood on the open sea, still processing the insanity of everything that had just happened. He had been thrown into the world of One Piece, he had somehow acquired an overpowered Summoning System, and now, standing beside him, was Roronoa Zoro—one of the strongest swordsmen in this universe, fully bound to his command.
And yet, deep inside, something told him this was only the beginning.
The system screen still hovered in front of him, glowing softly as new text appeared.
[Summoning System: Guide Menu]
🔹 Summon Loyalty: 100% (Summons cannot betray or harm the Summoner.)
🔹 Summon Slots: 1/10 (More slots unlock upon leveling up.)
🔹 Command System: Active (Direct Orders influence Summon Behavior.)
🔹 Summon Bond System: Locked (Further interaction required.)
Kaito's eyes narrowed.
This was more than just a summoning ability—there were levels, commands, and even a bond system involved. If he could unlock these mechanics, he wouldn't just have allies—he would have deep connections with his summons.
His gaze flickered toward Zoro, who was patiently standing beside him, waiting for orders.
"So, how do you feel?" Kaito asked, testing the system's influence.
Zoro crossed his arms, staring out at the open sea. "I feel normal, I guess. But something's different… Like my instincts tell me to follow your commands, even though I don't feel forced."
Kaito smirked. That confirmed it. 100% loyalty didn't mean mindless obedience—it meant unwavering trust. His summons would still retain their personalities, making them real companions rather than puppets.
His eyes gleamed with excitement as the screen updated once again.
[Summoning System Level-Up Requirements]
Defeat a Strong Opponent (Current Progress: 0%)
Increase Summon Bond Levels (Current Progress: Locked)
Expand Summon Slots (Next Unlock: Level 2)
"Looks like I need to strengthen my bonds with my summons," Kaito muttered. If this system functioned like a game, then harem elements would likely play a significant role in the bond levels.
A thought struck him. Did his summons feel any emotional attachment toward him?
Before he could dwell on that, another notification flashed.
[New Summon Available]
Hinata Hyuga (Naruto) – Support Class
Status: Summon Ready
Kaito's heart skipped a beat.
Hinata. One of the most gentle yet fiercely loyal women in anime history. If he summoned her now, would she… react differently compared to Zoro?
With a deep breath, he tapped the summon request.
The Arrival of Hinata
Reality shifted once more.
The air rippled with golden energy as the Summoning Portal cracked open before him, spirals of chakra-infused light flowing into the sea. From within the void, a graceful figure stepped forward—her long dark hair swayed in the ocean breeze, and her soft lavender eyes gleamed with quiet strength.
Hinata Hyuga had arrived.
Kaito could hardly breathe. She looked exactly as he remembered—her elegance, her kind aura, her battle-ready stance. But most importantly…
Her gaze met his.
For a moment, absolute silence.
Then—
"K-Kaito-sama!"
Hinata's voice rang out with pure devotion, her cheeks slightly flushed as she took a step forward.
Wait. "Sama"?
Kaito was stunned. He wasn't expecting this level of admiration instantly. Was it because of the Summon Bond System?
Hinata lowered her head respectfully—not in submission, but in genuine affection.
"I don't know why… but I feel completely connected to you," she whispered, her voice full of warmth. "I—I will always be by your side, no matter what."
Zoro raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "She's definitely more devoted than me."
Kaito exhaled sharply. Hinata's harem potential was through the roof. Unlike Zoro, her loyalty wasn't just based on trust—it was emotionally driven.
And looking at her now, he knew one thing for sure:
The Harem elements were only just beginning.
