Chapter 3

The quest didn't take that long to finish and by the time he finished it, he had a few sweat drops here and there and the sun had gone down, although he didn't know that since he was pretty deep in the cave.

[Daily Quest:] Work Out! has been completed!

[Rewards:] 10 Aether Coins

When he saw that he got 10 Aether Coins, he opened up the shop and browsed it, filtering the list so that only the items that he could afford would show.

'Hmm, there's not much things I can get, but wait a minute. What's this?'

[Customizable Clothes:] 5 Aether Coins

[Item Description:] A customizable set of clothes. Note: these won't provide any sort of protection and can be destroyed.

Looking at the item, this would definitely solve his naked problem so he wouldn't be identified as a pervert, but 5 Aether Coins was currently half of what he had right now.

'Oh screw it. I'll get more in the future anyway.'

Pressing the buy button, a screen appeared in front of him to customize the set of clothes that he was getting.

'Cool. Well, since I already know I'm going to be a swordsman, how about a kimono like in the Wano Country?'

Customizing the clothes, its shape turned into that of a kimono. It's main color was black with golden details and a golden dragon design on its backside.

Confirming the customization, the kimono appeared in front of him.

'Wow, this is really convenient,' Hakai thought as he put the kimono on, grinning like a dumb kid.

(AN: Click here for the kimono!)

'Ok, I'm ready. Time to leave this cave.'

He started running towards the only exit. It took him a few minutes of running around, but he eventually found the exit of the cave, exposing him to the moonlight since the sun had already gone down by now.

Looking around the entrance of the cave, it seemed that he was at the base of a mountain and in front of him, there was a dense forest full of trees.

Hakai smiled as an idea appeared in his head. He figured that since he was basically in the middle of nowhere, and he needed to find a village or something similar nearby, this was the perfect time to transform into a dragon and find a sign of civilization by flying.

He took off his clothes, since he didn't want them to be destroyed when he transformed into his dragon form, and grabbed them with his hand.

"Alright! Let's go!" he shouted out as his form began to change. His smooth skin turned into hard scales, and his size became bigger and bigger even destroying some of the nearby trees. 2 large, and leathery wings sprouted out of his back as he finished transforming.

With one quick flap of his wings, he was sent up into the sky, overlooking the island that he was currently in.

'Look at this view! I knew being a dragon wasn't a bad choice. If I can fly, I might not even need a ship at least until I get someone in my crew since they won't be able to fly.'

Hakai flew around the sky, enjoying the feeling of the wind against his draconian face. With each flap of his wings, he would make gusts of wind.

As he was flying around, he didn't notice that he had recieved a notification from the system.

[Weekly Quest:] Leave the cave and start your journey has been completed!

[Rewards:] 100 Aether Coins

Hakai was excited when he saw that he had recieved 100 Aether Coins. Now, he only needed approximately 400 more to buy the dimensional storage skill he wanted which if each weekly quest gave the same amount of Aether Coins, he'd get in about 4 more weeks.

While flying in the air, he closed the notification and went back to what he was doing, finding a city or something similar.

Looking down high above the sky, past the forest was a small village.

'This is familiar...'

Landing near the village, he made sure not to be seen by the locals as to not scare them.

He transformed back into his human form, putting on his clothes as he entered the village.

Although it was dark out, there were still some people awake and there was one establishment that was still active as sounds of cheers and laughter leaked out.

Walking through the village, Hakai garnered some looks because of his clothes and the fact that he was over 10 feet tall made him taller than everyone in the village.

Approaching the establishment which had a sign at the top which read, 'Party's Bar', the sounds got louder and louder.

'This place is pretty lively.'

Walking inside the bar, the people inside looked at him, some intimidated because of his height, but there was one person that wasn't in the least bit scared of him.

A person wearing a red top, blue shorts and most important of all, a straw hat.

'Luffy?! I didn't expect to meet him so soon. What did that God think placing me here?'

There was no doubt about it. That was Luffy and by the looks of it, he hasn't set off to sea yet.

Luffy got up from his chair and walked up to him.

"Whaa! You're so tall! You have to be strong. Are you a pirate?" Luffy asked.

"Luffy! Stop bothering the customer," a girl with dark green hair said to Luffy. "What would you like, sir?"

Hakai laughed as he took a seat beside the counter. "He's not being a bother and I can't really get anything right now. I don't have any belly you see," he said with a wry smile.

"Oh that's no worries. You can get anything you want on the house. We're celebrating since tomorrow is the last day that Luffy is here," she replied.

"Yup! I'm going to become the Pirate King! Say, do you want to join my crew? It's only me right now, but I'm sure there'll be more," Luffy said, laughing as he ate some meat.

(AN: MC WILL NOT JOIN LUFFY'S OR ANYONE 'S CREW. Also, think of this One Piece world as more of an alternate universe where it follows canon but there are some differences. Important characters will still be there, but new characters and new places will appear. Also, custom devil fruits!)
