Chereads / One Piece : Tanya / Chapter 4 - Better Safe Than Sorry

Chapter 4 - Better Safe Than Sorry

"To be used in case of emergency... I don't want to take the risk of fainting in the middle of unfamiliar territory or during an ambush."

While thinking, Tanya noticed that her Luger was still attached to her belt. Checking it, she confirmed that it was still in working order. The magazine was in place, along with the eight bullets inside.

Instinctively, she also checked the three pouches on her back pockets containing extra magazines. They were still there, securely fastened to her belt.

So, with the magazine in the Luger and the extra three, that gives me 32 rounds... I should check if the piercing optic spells still work.

Aligning her right eye with the sights of her pistol, Tanya fired a two-round volley at a stump. Unsurprisingly, the two bullets pierced the tree stump and continued on their path, piercing two or three other trees in the distance.

This spell is extremely effective, especially since it requires no effort because the spell is already embedded in the bullets. The only downside is the limited use—only 30 shots remain.

To complete the list of still-usable spells, she decided to test her flight spell, which would be very useful for scouting her surroundings and spotting potential dangers.

Upon activating the spell, Tanya was able to lift more than 30 cm off the ground. However, maintaining flight was extremely exhausting—she felt that the fatigue from these 10 seconds equaled the exhaustion she had experienced during months on the Front of the Rhine. Then, suddenly, everything went dark, and Tanya lost consciousness.

Having no more control over her body, Tanya flailed in all directions like a balloon, nearly hitting trees or the ground multiple times. Then, after a few seconds, she crash-landed into a small stream that flowed along the clearing.

Upon contact with the water, Tanya immediately regained consciousness, gasping for air as if she had just broken the world's apnea record.

Trying to get up, Tanya observed her reflection for the first time since arriving in this world. Unsurprisingly, she retained the same body as in her second reincarnation.

Seeing this, Tanya kicked at her reflection.

Tanya: "Of course, you had to give me this body. I swear, the next time I meet you, I'll bleed you dry like a cursed pig, Being X."

Once on her feet and extricating herself from the stream, Tanya headed for the center of the clearing, undoubtedly the warmest place since the sun's rays were unobstructed by the branches and foliage. It took half an hour for her uniform to dry completely. During this time, she established her plan for the future.

First, she needed to pass through the city to gather information about this new world. Next, she had to acquire some money to afford food. The first battle a soldier fights is the battle for survival. Being able to eat is a crucial step in survival because a starving soldier is a soldier doomed to death.

Finally, the ultimate goal was to rejoin the army, as it was the fastest way for someone with no status in society to rise through the ranks.

With a well-drawn plan, Tanya set off in the direction of the city she had seen earlier.
