As the Heroic Spirit space shifted again, appearing before everyone was an old man in casual clothes, bald, and slightly short in stature.
At the moment, he was holding binoculars, staring lecherously at a swimming pool filled with bikini beauties.
"He really is just like you, isn't he, Sanji? Have you considered choosing him?"
Nami crossed her arms, glancing at Sanji from the side.
Sanji could only scratch the back of his head with an apologetic smile, then glared fiercely at Luffy.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have clicked on this Kamesennin (亀仙人, Turtle Hermit)'s name."
"Now Nami-san's impression of me will only worsen!"
When will I ever get the Iro Iro no Mi (Color-Color Fruit) then…
Indeed, Sanji still hadn't given up on obtaining the Color-Color Fruit from Genrou.
Unbeknownst to him, Genrou was already planning to let the Merry's ship spirit eat it once it formed.
The Heroic Spirit space rotated again, this time showing Kamesennin on a martial arts tournament stage.
His previously frail, elderly appearance completely changed.
Under the astonished gazes of Luffy and the others, Kamesennin easily sent several challengers flying off the stage with pure martial arts.
"Don't underestimate this old man. While he's perverted towards pretty women…"
"He's also a true man of justice, and undeniably a strong warrior."
"In his era, he was even called the God of Martial Arts."
"Through long years of training, he mastered countless powerful techniques."
"Though most of his martial arts use the hands, Sanji, if you chose him as your Heroic Spirit template—"
"I'm sure you'd gain some inspiration for your leg techniques too."
As Genrou spoke, the image changed again.
Kamesennin's body suddenly erupted with a powerful aura, and his muscles bulged out.
In just a few seconds, his originally small frame transformed into a muscular physique over two meters tall.
"He turned into a muscleman? This looks a bit like when Luffy uses Toriko's imitation form," Nami remarked, rubbing her chin.
At her words, Luffy nodded enthusiastically.
"This is Kamesennin using a type of energy called 'Ki (気)' to strengthen himself and enlarge his body."
"In this state, his strength increases dramatically, though it also consumes his stamina very quickly."
As Genrou explained, Kamesennin bent his knees, cupped his hands together into a lotus shape, and aimed at the moon in the sky.
The next moment, a brilliant light formed between his hands, expanding and condensing rapidly.
"Kamehameha (Turtle School Ki Blast)!"
BOOM!
With a thunderous roar, Kamesennin thrust his hands forward, releasing the gathered energy into a massive beam that shot towards the horizon.
At close range, it looked like a giant spear piercing through heaven and earth.
"T-this… isn't this just like the 'Rengoku Musou Bakuretsu Hadouhou (Purgatory Peerless Explosive Heat Wave Cannon)' you used before, Genrou?!"
Usopp gulped, looking at Genrou in shock.
"Indeed. Kamehameha and Rengoku Musou Bakuretsu Hadouhou are similar in principle."
"In fact, the inspiration for my Rengoku Musou Bakuretsu Hadouhou to push the ship came from Kamehameha."
Genrou nodded.
Usopp, astonished, was about to ask more about Kamesennin's techniques when suddenly—
A deafening boom erupted from the distant sky.
Usopp quickly looked up.
The next moment, his eyes widened along with Luffy, Zoro, and the others, their faces filled with utter terror.
"D-don't tell me… the moon… the moon is gone?!"
"Did Kamehameha blow up the moon?!"
Usopp trembled as he turned to the others for answers.
"You're not seeing things, Usopp. I saw it clearly – that beam shattered the moon."
Zoro clenched his teeth, his expression twisted in disbelief.
He couldn't fathom that such power existed in the world – power capable of destroying the moon.
If it could destroy the moon, what would happen if it landed on an island?
The island would probably be obliterated instantly.
"That's terrifying… even scarier than Grandpa's fist…"
Luffy rubbed his stiffened face, feeling genuine fear despite his carefree nature.
"Is such power… really something a human can possess?"
"Genrou, if Sanji chooses Kamesennin's template, will he gain that power too?" Nami asked.
Sanji immediately turned to listen.
After seeing the templates of Emiya Shirou, Linali Li, and Kamesennin, Sanji felt deeply drawn to Linali Li's template.
Not because she was a woman, but because he believed her power suited him perfectly.
However, after witnessing Kamesennin's display, he hesitated.
If he could truly gain power capable of destroying the moon, should he really choose Linali Li?
"Whether Kamehameha has moon-destroying power depends on the user."
"Being able to use Kamehameha to blow up a mountain is already impressive."
"Even if you choose Kamesennin's template, you won't have moon-destroying power right away."
"Besides, choosing other templates doesn't mean you can't gain moon-destroying power in the future."
"Usopp, take your King template for example. If you master Rengoku Musou Bakuretsu Hadouhou and become strong enough, you too could destroy the moon."
Genrou chuckled.
Hearing this, Sanji let out a relieved sigh.
That meant he no longer needed to hesitate between Kamesennin and Linali Li.
"I've decided, Genrou. I will choose Linali Li-san as my Heroic Spirit template."
"Very well. Place your hand back on Linali Li's name, and you shall gain her power."
Without hesitation, Sanji raised his right hand and pressed it onto Linali Li's name.
As radiant light wrapped around him, Sanji felt something awaken within.
[Ding! Sanji has made his choice and obtained the "Leg Technique" template of Linali Li. He has learned Linali Li's initial skills. Through training and growth, more Heroic Spirit skills can be unlocked.]
[Note: Feeding Devil Fruits to partners will accelerate Heroic Spirit skill mastery and may unlock ultimate skills!]
[Congratulations to the host for acquiring the "Leg Technique" Linali Li template and the "Chef" Emiya Shirou template, gaining all Heroic Spirit skills.]
[Note: Although the host can gain all Heroic Spirit skills, using them depends on his own strength.]
"I couldn't get Kamesennin's powers… how unfortunate."
"Well, Emiya Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works is pretty good too."
"If used well, even someone as strong as Mihawk could be trapped for quite some time."
With a thought, Genrou dispersed the Heroic Spirit space, returning everyone to the deck of the Merry.
Sanji, feeling the power within him, let it flow as guided by his intuition.
The next moment, a pair of ladies' black thigh-high boots appeared in his hands.
"Eh?! They're actually Linali's boots?"
"Wait… does that mean Sanji has to be turned into a woman by that Okama King to use them?" Nami asked teasingly, raising an eyebrow in interest.
