Chapter 5 Slow progress

After eating a rabbit feast, Luffy took the dagger given by Magino and returned to his room.

Sitting at the head of the bed, Luffy pulled out the dagger.

Judging from the handle of the dagger, the knife is some years old.

But looking at its sharp blade, you can know that this dagger must have been maintained by people often.

Putting it away, Luffy pillowed his arms directly and lay down on the warm cot.

'System, look at the properties. ’

With a "bang", a white light flashed.

The properties panel is displayed in front of Luffy.

"Ugh...

Seeing that he had only gained a little bit of experience, Luffy sighed in despair.

This morning, before dawn, Luffy woke up early.

After searching the kitchen of the tavern for a while, I found a handful of sharp weapons that I had in hand, and turned out a little bit of vegetables.

With these things in hand, Luffy plans to make an improvised trap on the outskirts of the forest and start his own upgrade journey.

However, it may be the reason for the proximity to the village.

Luffy was on the periphery of the forest, and he didn't even see the shadow of an animal.

Luffy, who was helpless, had to try to find a bug and trample it to death, and immediately heard the sound of the system.

【Ding! If the host kills an ordinary insect, the experience point obtained is 0.1, and the experience point is less than one point, which is not counted in the system. 】

"I'm a dog!"

Thinking of this, Luffy couldn't help but spit out again.

After that, Luffy found a bird the size of a sparrow, and a mouse, both of which had less than a little experience.

And these experiences can't be counted together, they are all settled in one life!

In the end, Luffy, who had no choice, had to go a little deeper.

I dug a hole in the ground, spread some weeds, and put the bait I had prepared, and I finished making this simple trap

As a result, Luffy waited for half a day.

Finally, a hare was attracted.

However, because it was Luffy's first time making a trap, the size of the animals in the pirate world was a bit beyond Luffy's imagination.

The fooled hare, with only half of its body, fell into the trap.

Luffy immediately noticed that there was prey on the bait.

But when he ran as fast as he could.

Before the knife in his hand could be raised, the hare jumped out of the trap with a kick on its hind legs.

Seeing that the prey that you finally met is about to run!

Luffy hurriedly tosses the boning knife in the kitchen at the rabbit.

The hare, however, seemed to perceive it in advance, and easily leaped to the left, dodging the flying murder weapon.

Then he slammed into a tree stump and passed out!!

……

……

That's all Luffy had encountered this morning.

I don't know, at this rate, when will I be able to gather enough experience for a hundred.

In the afternoon, Luffy fed his stomach and continued to grab the dagger bag and pin it to himself.

Adjusting the size to suit him, he said goodbye to Magino and hurried out of the tavern.

Looking at Magino's worried eyes, the tavernkeeper, who was wiping his glass, said:

"Don't worry, there are only small birds and rabbits near the town, as long as you don't go deep into the forest, you won't encounter danger."

Magino shook his head and said, "I just don't know why this kid is so strong, he's still so young." ”

Magino didn't know what Luffy was anxious about, but Luffy knew it clearly.

I was pitted by the system! The pit is miserable!!

What can I do if I don't level up?

Normally, when Luffy met Ace, his physical fitness was already a little bit better than that of ordinary people.

The powerful genetic power is enough to make up for Luffy's growth needs.

But Luffy with a system, if he doesn't upgrade and find a way to open new features, he can only be a three-year-old child.

Coming to the forest, Luffy passed by the trap of this morning, and without stopping, continued to walk deeper into the forest.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Luffy only felt that the trees around him were getting taller and denser.

This time he slowly stopped.

It may be the effect of up to 85 points of mental power, Luffy always feels that if he goes further, he will encounter danger.

Considering his current small body, he decided not to go deeper.

Soon, Luffy began to dig holes just like in the morning.

However, with the lesson of the morning, Luffy took a lot of effort this time and dug a hole nearly half a meter deep.

If it weren't for the fear that he wouldn't be able to get up in the end, Luffy might have continued to dig.

He inserted his newfound dagger upside down in the center of the trap, and the tip of Han Sensen was aimed straight up.

Then use thin twigs and fresh grass to hide the trap.

He put a sparrow the size of a small crow that he caught on the way and placed it on the top of the trap.

After all this, the sun has begun to set slightly.

Luffy found a tree hole nearby, briefly covered the entrance of the hole, and began to close his eyes and recuperate, half-asleep and waiting.

After an hour or so, Luffy was suddenly woken up by a scream in his sleep.

Luffy, who came to his senses, didn't bother with how he fell asleep so carelessly.

Quickly grab a piece of hard tree branch that was ready to be done before, and run to the vicinity of the trap.

The shelter on the trap is gone.

Luffy looked down and saw that the wild cat was struggling among the messy branches, and in the left abdomen of the wild cat, Luffy's newly acquired dagger was sticking in.

The wildcat spotted Luffy and was about to jump out of the trap and run away, regardless of the fact that he was still seriously injured.

Luffy hurriedly beat back the wild cat that had climbed to the ground with a branch, and then kept harassing the wild cat with the branch in his hand.

The wildcat struggled to dodge and slammed the dagger to the ground, and the wound began to bleed.

After a few minutes, the wildcat began to close its eyes and did not move.

Seeing that the wildcat was no longer struggling, Luffy also jumped into the trap.

At the moment when he landed, the wildcat, which had already fallen to the ground, suddenly jumped up and pounced on Luffy fiercely.

However, Luffy was also prepared, and directly stuck the branch in his hand into the wild cat.

Prevented the wildcats from approaching.

Then he quickly picked up the dagger on the ground and plunged it straight into the wild cat's throat.

With a "bang", blood sprayed Luffy's body.

【Ding! The host kills a normal beast and gains 3 experience points. 】

Hearing the prompt sound of the system, Luffy completely relaxed, reached the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luffy knew that the wildcat might still have the ability to fight back.

But he felt that he had no grievances in the first place, and he had to kill it just to become stronger, and he couldn't bear to let the wild cat suffer too much.

That's why there is such a scene, which is to give the wild cat a happy death.

Luffy, who had rested for a while, used a piece of vine to wrap the wild cat around, then climbed up first, and then used the vine to pull the wild cat up.

After a brief tidying up, he began to drag the carcass of the wildcat back to Windmill Town.

Not to mention, the world of One Piece is different, looking at a wild cat that is not big, but it weighs several times that of a rabbit in the morning.

In addition, the afternoon entry was more in-depth, and by the time Luffy returned to the tavern, it was already night.

"Go back and take a shower." Luffy thought.

"Luffy, give it, eat it."

Luffy, who was sitting at the table, enjoyed Magino's food delivery service, said thank you to Magino, and began to swallow.

Although the body is digitized, Luffy still has the feeling that he should have, he wants to eat when he is hungry, and he wants to drink when he is thirsty, otherwise his health will drop after a long time.

Fortunately, Luffy will keep the appearance of a child for a long time, otherwise the Magino family may not be able to raise Luffy.

Watching Luffy gulp down his own food, Magino happily returned to the back kitchen.

I saw that the owner of the tavern, that is, Magino's father, was stunned by the wild cat that Luffy had brought back.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Magino interrupted his father's thoughts curiously.

Magino's father picked up one of the wildcat's paws, "What should I say?" and then broke out his hidden nails one by one, "It's not the grandson of Master Karp, it's amazing!"

"Ahh

Magino covered her mouth with her hands, unable to hide her surprise.

Looking at the sharp claws, and thinking of Luffy's small body, the father and daughter didn't speak for a long time.

"Sister Magino! Still have food, I'm a little underfed!"
