The moment the Deduction ended, a familiar feeling washed over Kilo, and he felt a splitting headache, gritting his teeth tightly.
A large chunk of memories and insights regarding Thunder Breathing appeared out of thin air, surging inward and slamming into his brain.
In these memories, it was as if he had bitterly practiced Thunder Breathing for countless days and nights, grasping the essence of lightning through unceasing persistence in wind and rain, resonating with lightning, and mastering this Heavenly Thunder Movement.
Just like before, a warmth flowed ceaselessly through his meridians, nourishing Kilo's body, and he immediately felt his physical fitness increase significantly.
After digesting all the information, Kilo sat up and organized the complex memories in his mind.
This Deduction surprised him quite a bit.
Because this time, the new skill he obtained was vastly different from what he had imagined.
When he previously deduced Wind Breathing, the Breath of Gale he obtained enhanced all his original moves and added new special effects.
It could be said that Breath of Gale was an enhanced version of Wind Breathing.
But the Heavenly Thunder Movement he had just obtained was very different from the Thunder Breathing he had imagined; it had actually become a skill that could be actively activated.
It allowed Kilo to instantly gain a significant boost in speed and a slight increase in strength.
Just from the description alone, it was clear that Heavenly Thunder Movement would be an extremely useful move.
One had to know that in the original Demon Slayer story, Agatsuma Zenitsu honed Thunder Flash to the extreme, pursuing ultimate speed, reaching the pinnacle, and the power of the move was shocking.
Therefore, the power of Heavenly Thunder Movement, which pushed both strength and speed to the extreme, went without saying.
It was clearly inconvenient right now, so Kilo prepared to test the power of Heavenly Thunder Movement another time.
Carefully recalling the massive amount of information that had flooded his mind, Kilo discovered another anomaly.
During the Deduction, the 'Total Concentration' state of Thunder Breathing had undergone a brand-new transformation.
After the transformation, the breathing technique was not only maintained during sleep, but could naturally temper body cells in any state, stimulating muscles through weak electrical currents to achieve the effect of strengthening the physique.
As Kilo's breathing rose and fell, a faint, tingling sensation clearly came from within his body, as if every muscle was being stimulated by an electric current.
'Amazing!' Kilo was shocked; this was the first time he had seen a breathing technique that deeply tempered the body at every moment.
Since arriving in the Pirate World, the issue of his physique had always been his most urgent problem.
And the transformed 'Total Concentration' state of Thunder Breathing could solve this problem!
Carefully feeling the 'Total Concentration' state, Kilo looked at the special effects column once his mood calmed down slightly.
The special effects column for Heavenly Thunder Movement surprised him a bit; there was only one [Final Form: Thunder God], and it hadn't been unlocked yet.
As he focused his attention, a line of information appeared next to the special effects column.
[Special Effect: Final Form: Thunder God]
[Can be unlocked upon reaching Master proficiency]
Apart from this, there was no more information; it seemed he would have to wait until later to know the effect of this special effect.
Kilo collected his thoughts, exhaled deeply, and spontaneously activated the Total Concentration state.
As the breathing technique was performed, the sensation of weak electrical currents came from all over his body; at first, it was a stinging pain, but as he gradually adapted, Kilo actually felt it becoming somewhat comfortable.
Electric shocks? Comfortable?
Suddenly thinking of something, Kilo shuddered violently.
Hiss!
Could it be that he had masochistic tendencies?!
Shaking his head, he quickly cast aside this unrealistic thought and comforted himself.
Yeah, this is just tempering the body, nothing more!
...
The next morning, Robin finished getting ready and walked out of her room, seeing a sweaty figure in the living room doing standard push-ups with a rhythmic breathing pattern.
"Yo, you're awake?"
Kilo exhaled a long puff of white steam, stopped his movements, and deftly put on his jacket.
"Let's go, come out with me!"
"Mm!" Robin nodded, though she was somewhat confused.
"What are we going out for?"
Kilo picked up the backpack filled with Berries, smiled mysteriously at her question, and didn't explain anything.
After checking out of the hotel room, Kilo led Robin toward the central area of Ruka Island.
The morning mist shrouded Ruka Island, which was famous for its flowers. It was midsummer in July, and all kinds of flowers were scattered along the small town paths, adding a hint of fragrance to the cold morning air.
As the two got closer to the central area, the buildings along the road became more exquisite and gorgeous, revealing a sense of luxury.
Entering the high-end residential area, they stopped walking. Kilo and Robin looked up to see a gorgeous and exquisite house in front of them.
A 'For Rent' sign hung on the door of the house, and a man who had been waiting for a long time stood at the entrance.
Seeing Kilo appear, his eyes lit up, and he walked up quickly to meet him.
"You must be Mr. Jiluo, who made the reservation for this house this morning!"
Kilo nodded. This morning, he had borrowed the transponder snail from the hotel and found this house that was for rent by following the advertisement in the newspaper.
This house was located in the central residential area, where not many people usually passed by, so there was no need to worry about too many people coming into contact with Robin and causing her identity to be exposed.
The layout inside the house was spacious. The three floors included several bedrooms, a study, and a kitchen, with all the basic facilities fully equipped, which was definitely enough for Kilo and Robin.
After paying the Berries and handling the rental matters, Kilo took the keys from the man and simply settled their luggage.
After finishing with the housing issues, Kilo turned around and looked at the single-layer garment Robin was wearing, which was made of linen and covered in patches.
"Robin, do you want to buy new clothes?"
Robin's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she hesitated, clutching the corner of her shirt in her palm. "But, those new clothes are quite expensive!"
"I can't spend your money!"
Kilo laughed dumbfoundedly and couldn't help but reach out and flick her nose.
"What's this? I have a whole backpack full of Berries!"
For Robin, who had saved his life by a twist of fate, Kilo had long regarded her as his own younger sister.
Upon hearing Kilo's words, Robin's eyes gradually brightened, and after a moment of struggle, she nodded.
After all, what girl doesn't like new clothes?
...
"This one... and this one!"
Kilo pointed casually at two of the displayed clothes.
The shopping guide on the side asked.
"Sir, would you like just these two?"
"No, I don't want these two, pack everything else up!"
Nearby, Robin, who was trying on new clothes in front of the mirror, widened her eyes upon hearing this, her pretty gaze filled with shock.
She tugged on the corner of Kilo's shirt and muttered in a low voice.
"That's too much, Kilo!"
"There's no need to buy so many!"
Kilo, however, didn't care. Amidst the shocked gazes of other customers, he picked up the several bags filled with clothes and grinned.
By the time the two finished shopping, it was nearly afternoon.
Initially, Robin had been a bit timid, but after buying quite a few things, she gradually let go and bought a big pile of books she was interested in at a long-standing bookstore.
Using her Devil Fruit ability to carry the big pile of newly bought books, Robin pushed open the wooden door, cheered, and threw herself onto the soft sofa while hugging the books.
The furnishings in the house were not many, but they were enough for two people. After simple arranging in the morning, the furniture filled with a daily atmosphere revealed a relaxing warmth.
Kilo was busy in the kitchen, deftly preparing the ingredients he had just bought into various dishes. Scanning with his peripheral vision, he saw the petite figure curled up on the sofa, and a smile unconsciously curved at the corners of his mouth.
He hadn't felt this kind of warm, daily life in a long time.
Phew!
The steam gushing out pulled his thoughts back. Kilo untied his apron and brought out a few steaming dishes from the kitchen.
"Robin, come eat!"
"Okay!"
"Wait, you have to wash your hands first!"
"What? You say the hands made with the Devil Fruit are clean?"
"No, you still have to wash them!"
...
Robin ate the steaming hot meal in big bites. After the first bite, she was stunned and couldn't help but squint her eyes in enjoyment.
After all, having lived two lives, Kilo's cooking skills were not bad. Although he couldn't compare to professional chefs like Zeff or Sanji, it could still be called delicious.
Back in Ohara, Robin was often neglected at Aunt Roji's house, and the food she ate could only meet the most basic needs of satiety.
Where had she ever eaten such delicious food?
Eating the steaming hot dishes in big bites, Robin suddenly shed tears; she had never felt this kind of feeling before.
The feeling of having someone look after you is really great!
Kilo didn't speak, his gaze soft, sighing at how hard Robin's life had been.
A lonely childhood, having to grow up while hiding here and there.
But since Kilo had arrived, he naturally wouldn't let such things happen.
