Chapter 1: A New Life

'Wow' - Mental

"Hey" - Dialogue

Inside an average house on an average street in an average neighborhood, lay a man who was laying on his bed thinking about his agonizingly average life. Said man looked to be somewhere between 19 - 21 and was about 6'3" in height with caramel colored skin , golden-brown eyes , a long curly afro , and a bit of a scruffy beard .

He was currently wearing a blue zip up hoody that was very light and currently unzipped , along with light gray jogging pants with black lines down the sides and crew length blue and black socks , a black necklace with a silver star medallion on it , and a pair of black rectangular glasses over his eyes.

This man's name is Jeremiah and he was , to put it simply , bored. He felt like he could possibly die from his boredom at some point , however improbable that may be. The reason for this boredom was the fact that this world is simply lacking. You see, Jeremiah has been a longtime fan of things like anime , manga, rpg's , etc. , and he has always wanted nothing more than to be able to live the type of life that he sees all these characters live , even with the added danger .

He actually had just finshed rewatching some episodes from a few of his favorite anime , with Your Lie In April being his favorite , with One Piece and Katekyo Hitman Reborn following that .

Jeremiah POV

'*Sigh*... Why does this world have to be so.. underwhelming? Sure it might not be a total bore, and there is certainly beauty to be found in this world, but it just simply doesn't compare to the things I can see in anime and video games. Heh, I've read plenty of fanfiction and even manga/anime where the protagonist has the chance to actually not just survive , but thrive in a new world.'

"*Hahh*... If only..."

As I was laying there getting even more depressed, I noticed a light that was very quickly getting brighter and brighter. Suddenly it reached to a point so high that I actually felt like I would be blinded if I didn't close my eyes , and once I did close them I felt like I was being forced to sleep. Once I completely lost consciousness , my mind was racing with images flashing at a rapid pace. It was almost too much and I was almost overwhelmed, but as they slowed for a moment , there was one thing I did catch from a few of the images.

Beauty.

Beauty unlike anything that could possibly be on Earth . I'd always been fairly good looking and I'm not exactly lacking confidence, and yet I actually almost felt like I should slap myself for daring to look at something so beautiful . The scenery was so beautiful that I almost felt like I would taint it by simply looking at it . Golden sunsets , large green and open acres of land , beautiful mythical animals , and a large body of shining crystal blue water .

It was at this point that I started to wonder if I had just died and gone to Heaven , or possibly a Disney movie .

As I was pondering, the images all started to fade out and i found myself in an empty void. No golden sunset, no acres of land, no animals, nothing . Nothing at all. I (a very laidback person by the way) , almost wanted to yell about the unfairness of it all . To be shown - directly in front of even - something so beautiful just to have it fade away like a childhood dream was not pleasant at all.

Imagine your parent giving you the latest smartphone or game system , with a smile on their face . Imagine the happiness you would feel . Now imagine that same parent , with that same smile , taking that brand new phone out of your hand, putting it on the ground, and then proceeding to mercilessly crush it right in front of you while licking the tears you shed .

A little dramatic , but I believe I made my point.

'Why? Is this torture for some bad deed I unknowingly did at some point? As far as I know I've always excelled at avoiding drama so I can't imagine that I've pissed anyone off enough to do something like this. Speaking of which what even is this ? An illusion ? A dream? Or perhaps my boredom has finally affected the rest of my brain and I'm at the point of hallucination.' I thought with what could almost be apathy.

' Come to think of it , how long has it been? Hours, days, weeks, no way its been years right? Right? For the sake of my sanity I'll assume that I have not missed years of my life'.

As I was having a possible mental breakdown, I eventually heard a voice calling out to me .

"Hello Mr. Jeremiah" said a voice.

I looked around for the source of the voice , but could see no one. Although I did note that it sounded distinctly feminine, and that it seemed to have a bit of an echo to it.

"Who are you?" I asked calmly . Well as calm as you could be when you're suddenly pulled into an empty void .

"I have many names that have been forgotten throughout the passage of time , but my name is not what's important at the moment. What is important is that I want to help you. I know you are incredibly unsatisfied with the state of the world and your personal life , and would like to make you an offer." Said the voice with an almost motherly tone.

"What exactly is this offer?" I ask with interest , which I have not felt in quite some time .

"What I'm offering , my chosen , is exactly what I know you have wanted ever since you entered into your teen years and slowly started becoming disillusioned with the way the your world was run. The chance for freedom . The chance for power. The chance for fun."

The more this apparent ROB said the more entranced I became . She was right about me being disillusioned with the world. It started when I was young . I started to see that no matter how much I wanted the world to know peace , there would always be people that will feel the need to assert their dominance over those that they see as weaker than them . I became jaded to the point that I eventually just became apathetic towards a lot of things .

When someone robs, hurts , or kills someone , that person will have someone that wants revenge . Then the person that wanted revenge gets it, but then someone else now wants revenge towards them . And like that the cyle of hatred just continues to go round and round .

Like I've stated earlier , I could appreciate beauty , but it was so rare to find because the ugliness of humanity far outweighs it .

"I'm listening. I definitely would like to know how you know all that , but considering you were able to do all of this , I guess it isn't as surprising." I said this time with more life in my voice and eyes . I really hoped this was all real .

"Excellent. What I'm offering you is a chance to choose up to 10 different abilities and/or items that you would like to have ."

"...."

"...."

"You're serious right?" I asked with more emotion in my voice than I had heard in years . This would be a dream come true if it were real .

"Absolutely. I would not joke with you about something this important to you."

My brain almost shut down from what I was hearing . I'd always been a pretty smart person . I'm not Einstein level or anything , but I am far , far , from dumb . As soon as my mind rebooted , it was kicked into overdrive think of all the possibilities. But first an important question needed to be asked .

"As much as that appeals to me , I need to know. What's the catch? Do I have to take over the world or something?" I asked since while I do want power , freedom , and fun (amongst other things) , there are certain things that I simply will not do regardless of what I'm being offered .

Genocide being one of them .

"Fufufu Of course not.... Unless you want to . I will never make you do anything you are uncomfortable with." The voice said with a voice laced with mirth.

"That's a definite relief. Well first I guess I need to know , am I gonna be staying in my world or...?" I asked since wherever I'm going will be a major factor in what I want to take with me .

"I will give you the choice of what world you go to , be it fictional or otherwise, and the abilities and items you choose can also be from other fictional worlds. Keep in mind that you will eventually be able to travel to other worlds as well, and there's no time lit or anything so no need to rush." She said while answering two other questions I'd been about to ask.

"Perfect. In that case I'll the first world I'll be choosing is One Piece." I said with an almost foreign emotion rising up in me. Excitement.

"Done . Now what powers/abilities and/or items would you like to have? You can have literally anything aside from something like all of the Infinity Stones from the Marvel universe." She asked with genuine curiousity .

"Thanks , I had been meaning to ask about that . Well first I'd just like to say thank you for even giving me this opportunity." I stated with complete honesty . She is literally helping me fulfill my dream . I couldn't be more grateful to anyone than I am in this moment .

"Anyway the first thing I would like to have is eternal youth I suppose . I want to always be in my prime , rather than go rusty like Whitebeard and his generation ."

"Done. As a bonus to that , I will allow you to gift those who you wish to keep with you eternal youth as well ."

"Nice , thanks . Second I would like for my body and mind to have no limits. I would like to be able to train to the point that I'm practically as physically gifted as someone like Superman or Saitama ." This was one that I was really looking forward to.

"Done. I must say that is a great ability to have." She (since she's clearly a woman) said sounding impressed.

"Believe me , I've put plenty of thought into this . Third I'd like to be able to consume up to 2 devil fruits with no negative side effects . Can I add that I don't want the weakness of water/seastone , or would I need to choose that separately?" This was something that could give me a huge advantage.

"Hmm... I'll bend the rules this time since I like you so much . You'll be able to eat up to 2 fruits and have no weakness to water/seastone , unless you choose a fire based fruit of course .Would you like me to give you the fruits or would you like to sail the world looking for them?" She said kindly .

I don't know what I did for this Goddess to like me so much , but I am incredibly thankful for it .

"It could take a long time trying to find even one fruit so I guess it'd be most sensible to just get them here . Are there any that I can't have?" I asked since there are some characters whose power I don't want to take .

"You can choose any of them. If you chose one that has already been eaten , then that person who ate it would lose that power , but eventually be given one that is equally as powerful , if they are worthy . Or you could always have two created uniquely for you and you alone ." She answered perfectly. I was really thankful for her patience.

"That's perfect . In that case for my first fruit , I'd like to be able to control all technology to the point that I can become one with it . I guess it could be called the techno-techno fruit . The second fruit can be one that gives me ability to have absolute control over wind , which includes being able to become wind itself ." I had to think about these ones very carefully since I never imagined being able to have more than one .

"Excellent choices Jeremiah. Here they are . These usually would taste horrible , but I have changed the flavor a bit to help you get them down ." She said and at this point I'd probably do anything she asked of me with all the kindness I'm being shown .

Soon I saw the two strangely designed fruits come into existence and after staring for a few seconds , I quickly devoured both of them .

At first I didn't feel it , but after about 10 seconds I felt a rush of power the likes of which I could never have predicted . I felt like I was everywhere thanks to the wind and felt like I could do anything . Eventually I calmed down so that I could finish what I was meant to be doing .

"Alright I'll try to speed up a bit now so that we're not here - wherever this is - too long and I don't take up your time . Fourth I'd like the intellect of Tony Stark and Shuri from Marvel , along with Azmuth from Ben 10 . This is so I can make support items for my companions and myself along with some really cool and essential things." This is something I will definitely make the most of . Three of the smartest minds in fiction ? Yes please .

"It is done . Since you've already asked for their to be no limit on your mind earlier , you will also receive all their knowledge about their inventions and be able to recall it perfectly."

"Thanks a bunch . Now fifth , I'd like a large supply of vibranium and other rare metals ."

"Done . I'll have it sent to a secure location I have set up for you ."

"Sixth I'd like to be able to shapeshift into anyone or anything ."

"Seventh I'd like telekinesis on the level of Tatsumaki from One Punch Man ."

"Eighth I'd like to be able to give and take power to others ."

"Ninth I think I'd like to be able to adapt to any environment such as space , underwater , etc ."

"And lastly... I'd like to have the knowledge of every taijutsu in the Naruto and One Piece worlds ." This would be essential as well . I don't want to only rely on my super powers . I wanna be a master in every area . And with my now super enanced intelligence , I can definitely accomplish that.

"Aaaaand done . I must say Jeremiah , those are some fine choices . You didn't just go for every flashy power you could think of which is what most people would do . Now since we've finished that , there's just a few more things you need to know . One , feel free to change certain events from canon . This is all about freedom after all . Two , I have set up an isolated island for you that is incredibly hard to find , even for marines and yonko . There is a house there for you with money and a few other things . Three , make sure you train hard . I know you've always worked hard when it comes to something you actually enjoy , so I hope you work hard and don't let anyone stand in your way . Lastly , and most importantly , have fun . I was always so sad seeing you so apathetic at such a young age ." She said with what sounded like motherly love.

As she was speaking , I felt as all the changes were finished taking place . Simply put , I . Felt . Amazing . There's simply no other way to describe it . Sure there was a minor discomfort at first , but now ... It's almost bliss . I feel better than I ever thought possible ..

And it's all thanks to her . This wonderful Goddess that's giving me this chance to do something ... Awe inspiring . I almost wanted to cry .

"Now my sweet Jeremiah , I need to know , when in the timeline do you want to appear?" She asked in a tender tone.

"Hmm... I'd prefer to be sent a few decades before canon . I want a lot of time to train and start making a name for myself . I need to strike so much fear into the world government that they won't even want to think about crossing my path." This is the best choice. This way I'll definitely be extremely powerful when canon does start . And besides , its not like I plan on joining the Straw Hats . No siree . I respect them and may help them from time to time , but I want my own adventure .

"Great choice . I was hoping you'd be willing to put them in check . Things like slavery and racism being approved of by them simply cannot stand." She said with anger at their dispicable behavior . I completely understood .

"Now when I send you there you may be a little tired , but just get a little rest and you'll be fine . Once you've done that , you should recover pretty quickly thanks to your mind and body having no limits . Everything you need has already been placed on your island and in your new home , all that's left is you . You'll find that I've left a few extra gifts for you as well which should be a very pleasant surprise for you ." She explained and I was feeling more and more blessed .

"Now go , my sweet , and enjoy your adventure ."

"Wait. Will I ever hear from you again ? Or get to see you at some point?" I asked before she could send me away .

"Hehe , Of course . I have to make sure my champion is doing well after all ." She said in a voice filled with love and joy .

"I see... Wait Champi--" I couldn't finish as I blacked out at that moment .

"Hehe , Have fun Jeremiah . Show that world what happens to those who approve of things like slavery and the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer." She said with amusement then seriousness as she was quite tired of the state of this world.

One things for sure . The world of One Piece Is In for a rude awakening . Because Jeremiah is coming , and he will not let people off easily .

Chapter 2: Arrival

'Hmm' - Thoughts

"Yo!" - Speaking

[]- Scene/POV Change

______________________________________________

[General POV]

Waking up in a new world was certainly an interesting experience . The first thing to note was the air . The air felt a lot thinner and cleaner compared to the polluted air of Earth 1 (normal Earth) . It felt... Incredible . Though that could have to do with the newly acquired wind powers .

As Jeremiah slowly gained his bearings , he took note of quite a few things . First was that the island he was on was large , at least as big as Moria's ship looked in the anime . It had well trimmed grass that was a very rich shade of green , trees spread out across the area , birds flying peacefully in the sky , the whole shebang .

All in all it was a peaceful place that he could very much get used to having to himself .

Though all the nature was nice , the real prize was what he found as he ventured deeper into the woods . A beautiful house that while not the size of a mansion , it was still more than big enough to suit his needs . As he walked up to the door he noticed that there was a note on it which read , 'Hi Jeremiah , I know you like your space so I've taken the liberty of making your home a little further away from civilization , if you choose to allow anyone to live with you . I'm sure you're probably wondering where the key is right ? Just put your hand on the door for about five seconds and it should open right up .'

'No time like the present.' thought Jeremiah as he pressed his hand to the door and , as the note said , the door unlocked and he walked in .

"...."

' Hell . Yes .' The living room was decked out with extremely comfortable looking couches , recliners , love seats . There was a tv on the wall , which Jeremiah wondered how often he would use it since there was no cable in this world , as far as he knew at least . There was also a nice coffee table in front of the couch and a fireplace under the tv , which was on the wall . All of his furniture was colored red , gray , or black which was perfect for him .

As Jeremiah continued walking through the house , he saw that his kitchen was quite large , with a stove that had 8 burners and a nice sized oven . The refrigerator was the type that has the freezer and fridge going vertically and had a surprising amount of space in it .

Going upstairs he found what seemed to be an entertainment room which had another tv , this one being a 110 in flat screen with surround sound and , surprisingly enough , his PS4 and phone were there as well . A quick check showed that he still had all his games and music as well which is great since he wasn't exactly sure what would be considered "good" or "catchy" music in this world .

The rest of the upstairs were the bedrooms , of which there were five overall , with the master bedroom obviously being the biggest . As he walked into his new bedroom , Jeremiah saw that he had a large closet , a king sized bed , a full body mirror , a nice 60 in. tv , and his own bathroom . 'Im definitely gonna buy a mini fridge when I get the chance. Surely they have them in this world right ? If not I guess could make one .' Thought Jeremiah as he walked back downstairs and decided to see what the lowest floor was like .

Once Jeremiah made it downstairs , he almost fell back in shock . What he saw was a science junkie's heaven . State of the art equipment that you'd expect to see in a universe like Marvel , DC , and Ben 10 . Everything was put together neatly and had a shine to it . Literally , the equipment was so clean that it was actually shining . When he saw the rows and rows of vibranium , adamantium , and other metals , he almost blew a load.

Jeremiah practically supersped around the room as his super enhanced mind was running a mile a minute .

' Alright first and foremost I definitely need to sort through all my knowledge so I can get to work on building all the tech I've had ideas for . Second I'll need to start looking into nanotechnology and how I can best use it to my advantage . Third I should test-- ' Jermiah's thought abruptly stopped when he saw what looked to be a secret room connected to the lab he was currently in . Eagerly walking inside , he was slightly confused when he saw what looked like vials of blood .

'Well well , now what do we have here?' Thought Jeremiah with a raised eyebrow as he continued to walk through the room , which he noted was a little cold . Walking further , he saw there were hundreds , if not thousands of these vials and his curiosity was certainly peaked . Reaching the end of the room , he saw another note waiting for him and wasted no time in reading it . It read 'Hello again my Champion . I'm sure you're wondering what this room is and what's in all the vials right ? Hehe I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised . Since you have all of Azmuth's knowledge I figured I should let you continue and maybe even improve his work with alien DNA . The DNA isn't only from the Ben 10 universe either , so you should certainly have fun with that .'

As Jeremiah read that last part his eyes got wider and wider and he quickly turned around and eyed all of the DNA samples with shock that quickly turned to glee . This is something he definitely wanted to do and considering how many aliens are in the Ben 10 universe , and others , and how many different powers they all have , the possibilities are practically endless . Although he did still wonder what she meant by Champion .

'That's right . You could make another Omnitrix if you wish ... or you could try to go further . You can add some of the DNA to yourself or someone else to get some interesting results . Although how strong the person becomes from the new DNA will depend on hiw much you add . For instance , the full vial would obviously be the maximum increase , while say a fifth of it , would still be enough to give anyone a boost , but not to the same effect . And not everyone is able to handle this so choose wisely. Of course the choice is yours and I will be looking forward to whatever you choose . Remember that I am always watching over you and wish you good luck . Be safe .' The note ended there .

As Jeremiah finished reading the note he had a smile on his face . He was looking forward to all the fun he'll have , but for now it was time to get to work .

'I guess I don't really need any extra powers so I probably won't really give myself any of the alien DNA . If I do it'll most likely just be the Vulpimamcer and Piscciss Volan races so that I can have enhanced senses as well as being able to hold my own underwater . I should also limit how much I give others . I'll most likely only give someone 3 samples at the most . 5 at the maximum depending on how important they are to my crew and how good they are at their job . Of course I'll also need to make sure that they're compatible with whichever I think would work best for them ... *Sigh* This is a lot of work . But.. It is certainly interesting.' Thought Jeremiah at a rapid pace . He couldn't help but smile slightly as he imagined all the adventures him and his future crew will have .

Walking back to his laboratory , he decided to test out his techno powers first.

'Alright I guess I'll start small and work my way up . *Sigh* I also need to see how many decades I've been sent before the start of canon , though I suppose that can wait for now.' Thought Jeremiah as he was still not exactly sure what his starting point in the timeline is .

Reaching out with one hand Jeremiah tried to focus on a small power tool . For a minute he didn't feel anything and was wondering what went wrong , when all of a sudden his eyes faintly glowed gold behind his glasses and the tool powered on with a whirring sound .

"Whoa!" Exclaimed Jeremiah in surprise . Sure he knew he had powers now , but there's a difference between simply knowing about something and actually experiencing it .

"I have powers ... I actually have powers !" Said Jeremiah with slight shock as he will finally be able to feel something different from boredom . For so long he had felt as if he was becoming more and more detached from his emotions and to be given a chance like this , in a world like this one ? He will definitely make the most of it and have the greatest adventure he can .

And be badass while doing it .

...

It's been 5 years since Jeremiah has come to the One Piece world and he had been busy in that time . He had found a few more things the goddess left for him over the years and they've been very useful.

One thing he was given was books so that he could learn the languages , cultures , special events , and other important things in this world . It was a bit of a pain to learn so many different things , but super intelligence does come in handy .

He'd also been given about $5,000,000 beli so that he could get clothes , food , and other things that he would need for his home and his journey .

He received an eternal pose that points to his island so that he'll always know his way home if he wants to return for some rest or just to relax during his journey .

[With Jeremiah]

"....2,998 , 2,999 , 3,000" Getting up from doing his handstand pushups , Jeremiah stretched some kinks out of his body with satisfying pops .

Currently he could be seen with a short sleeved tight , but comfortable , black shirt with his wolf medallion around his neck and black biking shorts and running shoes . He was covered in a thick coating of sweat from all of his exercise .

At the moment he didn't have his glasses on , instead using a pair of contacts that he'd created a while back . Also noticeably , his beard had grown thicker and his height had increased dramatically going from a respectable 6'3" to a rather impressive 6'10 .

Shaking his head , he walked into his house to get a drink . "*Sigh*... I need a shower . Bigtime ." Finishing his drink he walked up to his bedroom grabbing a change of clothes to take a shower .

As Jeremiah relaxed in the shower he couldn't help but think back on his time in this world so far .

It had been a challenge to get adjusted to the way this world works . After the initial euphoria wore off he realized that he had most likely left his family worried sick about him . Sure he was pretty much a loner for a few years before he left , but he always had his family .

While probably not as close as a lot of families , they had been through rough times together and loved each other as much as any family would .

He got relief when a note popped up saying that he didn't have to worry since the Goddess (by now he was sure she was a Goddess) had placed a clone of him with his memories up to that point in his old world to take his place .

While it was a bit off putting to think of someone , even a clone of himself , taking his place , he accepted it since his family wouldn't have to worry this way .

Once that was resolved he got down to business .

That being training .

He started with getting his physical prowess up to what would be considered peak condition for most people . To do this he actually followed a very simple workout regimen .

Saitama's .

He did that for a year before he kicked everything up to 500 each for the second year . For the third he had gone up to 1500 reps for each and is now at 3000 of each with 15 laps around his entire island .

Simple ...

He had pushed himself so hard because he knew that all of his powers will also use up stamina , just like regular physical combat would so he wanted to have enough stamina to be able to last for days , even weeks at a time .

For his Df's it was challenging but not as much as you'd think.

For his wind devil fruit after he'd started off by summoning small gusts of wind , he moved on to his intangibility . It was a very weird experience because when he uses that aspect of his power while outside , it makes him feel like he's everywhere at once , making it more than a little disorienting .

It was bad because if he got too distracted he would feel like he was losing his body to the wind and simply becoming part of it .

So to rectify that , he started meditating with part of his body bring wind and the rest being his regular body and slowly make more into wind overtime . Its shown promising results so far.

Once he felt like he had it at a semi-decent level , he started making his techniques .

This part has actually been really easy for him so far . He simply recreated numerous techniques from various anime/manga that he has seen over the course of his life and was pretty stoked to actually be able to do them .

His Techno power on the other hand had been very easy to control since he had the combined intellect of three of the greatest inventors of all time , all of whom used highly advanced technology in their daily lives .

He started with this one by making numerous different weapons and armors to use in battle , along with very useful gadgets . He had , of course , recreated some that he had seen in anime/manga that were simply to cool to not have .

Over time he started making robotic assistants to help him around the island and after a while he eventually had a brilliant , slightly crazy , and interesting idea .

What if he implanted tech into himself ?

He started small . First he implanted hundreds of nanobots inside of his body since he figured they would be able to help him with the healing and assimilation process down the road .

When this was done and he had woken up he'd felt... Complete . Like this was something that was always meant to be done by him . He figured it had to do with his tech powers and adaptation ability .

Deciding to test the limits of this , he decided to do something that , while painful , would ultimately be worth it . He'd liquidated some adamantium and a small amount of vibranium , with the help of his techno fruit and the minor control over metal that it gives him .

He then had it injected into his body to fuse with his skeleton, figuring he could handle the pain if the risk paid off.

And It . Was . Painful .

It had felt like his body was tearing itself apart , then being put back together again . And that feeling just kept going in a cycle .

At some point during his agonized screaming , he had fell unconscious . When he woke up though , after having one of his assistants massage him , he had decided to run a scan on his body and see how the process went .

And what he saw made him have a wide smile with shining golden-brown eyes . The Miracle Metal (which is what he decided to call it) had fused perfectly to his skeleton which was now a very shiny chrome color . Along with that , his metal control had improved , but not to the level of Magneto or even close .

Also , no memory loss . Major plus .

From that point he'd started adding different weapons to his body , mostly guns , along with utility items like a blowtorch , buzzsaw , etc.

As far as techniques there weren't too many at this point since he focused more on using this power for his inventions and experiments .

As far as telekinesis goes , while it isn't yet at the level of Tatsumaki or Jean Grey , it is at a satisfactory level for the moment .

He had learned the basic telekinesis techniques so far such as telekinetic shield , telekinetic push , lifting things (obviously) , and flight .

His flight with telekinesis when combined with his flight ability from his wind powers gives him a nice advantage for both combat and everyday life .

He had done a little training in haki , but he hasn't advanced very far yet since he decided he needed to learn how to use all of his powers to their maximum potential along with martial arts before he starts training in other areas .

So far he had worked on a little Fishman Karate along with the Strong Fist Style . He decided to combine these two first since they both involve having a solid foundation , agile movement , and powerful blows .

He hasn't fully mastered this style yet , but he isn't too far off yet .

Shaking himself out of his thoughts , Jeremiah turned the shower off and stepped out to dry himself off .

"Hmm... I think I'll stay for about 1 more year and then go out to get some battle experience. Can't just rely on overwhelming power after all." Jeremiah muttered to himself as he dried off . Wrapping a towel around his wet hair , he decided to get a bite to eat and relax for the rest of the day .

[One Year Later]

__________________________________________

'Today's the day . I've worked my butt off to get as strong as I could within these last six years and now I need experience so that I can see what I'm lacking in and improve upon it .' Thought Jeremiah with a small smile as he was standing at the northern dock of his island .

Jeremiah could currently be seen wearing a black short sleeved jacket that reached his knees with small silver specks on the back that looked like stars and had a hood which was currently pulled off his head showing his hair which he had decided to twist a year ago and had some in a ponytail while the rest hung around his head .

Under his jacket he had on a gray long sleeved shirt with black sleeves that stopped just past his elbows . His pants were black as well with gray lines down the sides and went a few inches past his knees . On his feet were gray and black shoes that had great grip and were good for multiple things in different settings .

He also had on his star medallion along with another necklace which held a black and gold spear pendant . Finally he had on a half mask that he created that looked like Kaneki's from Tokyo Ghoul and a black metal brace on his left forearm .

' I wonder if I should have just gone ahead and made my own ship... Hmm nah . While I don't doubt that I could make a decent one , I'd prefer to have a professional shipwright do it for me . Plus it'll give me the chance to add a specialist to my future crew .'

"Well , no point wasting anymore time ." As Jeremiah said this , he suddenly activated the brace on his left arm , which apparently was a shield , and threw it in a wide arc .

As the shield was coming back towards him from behind , he timed it perfectly and with the use of his electromagnetism granted by his techno powers , hopped on to his shield and used it to blast off from his island , making a large splash as he did so.

"Whoo!" While he could fly without the use of something like his shield , I.e. telekinesis and/or his wind power , it definitely looked and felt more badass to do it this way .

Deciding to take it easy for now , he slowed his flight and flew at a rather sedate pace .

'The shield is working great so far . I still haven't used my max electrical output yet so I can definitely go faster . All that's left is finding out how long I can go for .' Thought Jeremiah quickly and analytically while feeling the calm breeze on his skin .

'For now I guess I'll look for a marine or pirate ship so I can test my current strength . ' Ascending to a higher altitude , Jeremiah began his search .

[On A Random Pirate Ship in the New World]

"LISTEN UP YA BASTARDS! Hurry up and get us out of clusterfuck of a storm!" Shouted a pirate with urgency .

Said pirate captain was a rather big fellow . He stood a few inches over 6 ft and was fat yet slightly buff at the same time . He had greasy black curly hair that went down around his face along with beady dark gray eyes and a bushy untamed beard.

He had on an olive green captain's coat with a baige shirt that was lightly stained with sweat and dark brown pants to go along with black boots . He also had on a green pirate hat .

"What can we do Captain ?! If we go forward we'll get caught in that storm of water vortex ! " Pirate A yelled back to his captain in a major panic .

This group of pirates while not exactly weak , were far from being the strongest.

And yet , the arrogant captain became even more arrogant and cruel when he managed to get a decent sized bounty in Paradise for doing many nasty things .

He was one of the unfortunate many that let his bounty go to his head and because of this along with the fact he hasn't met anyone with a bounty on his level , he thought himself unbeatable and thus decided to conquer the New World .

Poor Fool .

*BANG!*

The pirate that had questioned his captain now lay bleeding out on the deck bleeding out after his captain had shot him in the chest .

The captain had a look of pure rage on his face. "YOU DARE QUESTION ME?! ME?! SOMEONE THROW HIM OVERBOARD FOR THE SEA KINGS TO HAVE HIM! THE REST OF YOU GET TO WORK AND IF YOU DAWDLE OR BACKTALK THEN YOU'D BETTER BE PREPARED TO END UP LIKE YOUR BUDDY HERE!"

As one of the pirates hurriedly moved to throw the slowly dying pirate overboard , he shed silent tears since the two of them had become good friends over the time they'd been part of this crew .

'Damn him! Damn him and this crew!' Pirate B was upset for sure , but as upset as he was , he didn't want to die. And he knew that's would happen if he declared that he was done with this crew or disrespected his captain in any way .

As Pirate B was threw his former friend and comrade overboard , the rest of the crew was doing whatever they could to get out of this insane storm .

[Some time later]

Somehow the pirate crew made it through the worst storm...

It only took losing one third of the crew to do it .

"BWAHAHAHA! DIDN'T I TELL YOU THAT I AM GREAT ?! ONLY A CAPTAIN OF MY CALIBER COULD LEAD HIS SHIP THROUGH A STORM OF THAT CALIBER!" The husky captain continued to arrogantly and obnoxiously brag .

"You're something alright ." Came a calm deep voice on the ship .

"BWAHAHA!! SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS MY GREATNESS!! BWAHAHaha..." Suddenly it occurred to the captain that the voice came from behind him and he was certain that all of his (remaining) crew members were in front of him on the deck .

Whirling around quickly he spotted a tall figure dressed in a black and gray outfit . Said figure currently had on a hood and a creepy half mask making it impossible to see anything but his eyes which looked to be a rich shade of golden-brown and a bit of his caramel colored skin .

This figure was , of course , Jeremiah . He was currently casually sitting on the upper railing of the ship .

He had been flying around on his shield for about half an hour when he arrived to this part of the new world to see the storm of water spouts and heavy rain come out of no where .

His island was also in the New World , hence the reason he was here in the first place , but it was pretty much Spring all the time there so he didn't really get any storms .

He had of course been more than agile enough to quickly maneuver his way out of the storm , but as he did he had caught sight of this pirate ship just as the captain had shot one of his crew .

It annoyed him . Greatly .

Jeremiah was a pretty passive person , choosing not to always go for violence right away . He very rarely even got got angry , and even then he had a tendency to just let it bottle up and try to ignore it .

Not exactly healthy , but it is what it is .

He had seen plenty of times in the One Piece anime and manga , and even other series , where so called leaders would kill the subordinates for the slightest questioning of their orders.

And it always annoyed him more and more the more he saw it .

If you decide to hurt or kill people who have put their trust in you everytime they make mistakes , then eventually you'll find yourself alone on an island when you really need some .

He decided to show this guy just how big the world is .

"WHAT THE?! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" The captain bellowed as he aimed a pistol at the intruder .

" Me ? I'm nobody special ... Just a simple wanderer . " ' I wonder if that sounded mysterious enough' .

"Well Mr. Nobody , care to tell me WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE DOIN' ON MY SHIP?! YA'D BETTER HAVE A GOOD ANSWER OR YOU'LL BE DEAD BEFORE YOU CAN SO MUCH AS BLINK!" The portly captain continued to yell as he walked closer to Jeremiah .

"Faster than I can blink ? I don't know , I can blink pretty fast." Said Jeremiah in a cheeky tone as he peered at the captain with his golden brown eyes .

Enraged at the disrespect , the captain pulled the trigger which resulted in a loud BANG! and actually made a small explosion

"Hmph ." As the smoke cleared the pirate was expecting to see Jeremiah laid out on the ground dead .

"Well I guess you do have a surprisingly quick trigger finger and even decent aim . But..."

No such luck . There on the pirates still outsretched arm stood Jeremiah , light as a feather even at his size , and without a single scratch on him.

"You're still far too slow for me."

"WHAT THE F-" Jeremiah put a stop to whatever nonsense he was about to spew by kicking the hand that was holding the gun , making it drop , then doing a swift backflip kick to his chin.

As he was launched in to the air , Jeremiah ran and jumped and delivered a quick spinning light kick to the pirate's chest , sending him sprawling towards the deck .

Of course "light" to someone with strength like Jeremiah is what most would consider being hit full force with a metal sledgehammer .

Simply put , it hurt like hell .

"Gah!" The pirate was wheezing on the deck of the ship with blood leaking from his mouth . He had never expected someone with such a relatively slim build to possess strength like that .

"You know , I consider myself to be something like a pacifist. You hit me , I turn the other cheek , all that good stuff ." Jeremiah calmly and casually hopped down to the deck , landing so lightly that he didn't even make a sound .

Walking towards the captain who was slowly standing up , he continued speaking .

"And yet ... I reaaaally felt like like hitting you just now . In fact I feel like hitting you some more . So , get your big ass up and fight ." Jeremiah said as he continued to walk towards the captain while occasionally barely glancing at the other crew members .

They were small fry for someone at his level . And he hadn't even reached close to his peak yet .

His voice was passive enough , but his eyes on the other hand...

They contained barely restrained fury as they glowed a bright molten gold . His eyes combined with his mask and size made for a rather intimidating pressence .

As the pirate shakily stood up , he yelled to his subordinates "M-MEN ! KILL HIM ! HURRY UP AND KILL HIM !!" He ordered in rage and slight fear , which he would never admit .

The two dozen or so pirates , all of whom had been frozen in shock upon seeing there captain get knocked down so easily , broke out of their stupor and all rushed in to action after hearing their captain's order .

The first one to reach Jeremiah was put down swiftly . A few swift blows to his pressure points and he was down for the count .

Two pirates tried to attack him at once but it proved to be a fruitless endeavor . As two tried two attack him with swords , he gracefully dodged until one found himself in between the two . As they both swung at once , Jeremiah jumped and turned his body horizontal to the ground and made the two stab each other, quickly putting them out of commission.

"Agh!"

"Fuh?!"

As Jeremiah landed into a handstand he did a quick springboard with his arms and landed in between the rest of the pirates .

And then the real beatdown began .

As quick as wind (heh) he quickly took down multiple pirates. In the eyes of the pirates he was nothing but a blur .

Hearing the clicking of a gun , Jeremiah quickly turned around , caught the bullet , and in one fluid motion, flicked it back with twice the speed towards the one who shot it , hitting him in the center of his chest .

Jumping high into the air , Jeremiah proceeded to reach into his jacket and pull out a small silver disk .

Throwing the disk into the group of pirates , it flashed blue before launching out electrical wires that wrapped around them and proceeded to shock them to unconsciousness .

"AAAHH!!" As Jeremiah landed , and the pirates finally went unconscious , he observed his work .

All in all it was good work , but he felt like it should've been faster than 20 seconds .

Looks like he'll be pushing himself even harder when he trains now.

Looking towards the captain , he gave a small satisfied smile under his mask when he saw the pirate's reaction .

"You're shaking." He pointed out to the lousy captain .

"Guh!" Enraged the pirate used whatever will he had left and bravely (stupidly?) charged at Jeremiah with his fist cocked back .

Standing still as the pirate ran at him , he only had one thought .

Slow .

The guy was so sluggishly slow that Jeremiah was able to plan out at least a dozen different ways to take him down in the time it took for the dirty looking pirate to reach him .

Of course this probably has to do with the fact that Jeremiah is used to moving and perceiving things at incredibly high speeds . In actuality , the guy's speed was slightly above average for someone his size .

Seeing Dirty Bastard closing in on him (what he's decided to call the pirate) , he was surprised when he saw his hand suddenly turn a bright shade of yellow-orange .

Deciding to be cautious , he quickly dodged at the last second and watched as Dirty Bastard ended up punching the mast .

*BOOOOM!*

Jeremiah stared with wide eyes as he saw the entire mast go up in a large explosion that rocked the entire ship from that one punch . He was definitely glad that he chose to dodge instead of tanking the hit which he was initially gonna do .

"You..."

"BWAHAHA! NOW DO YOU SEE?! I AM THE STRONGEST ! ME ! I ATE THE BOMU BOMU NO MI AND NOW HAVE THE POWER OF AN ENTIRE ARMY AT MY HANDS ! BOW DOWN TO ME AND PRAY THAT I'M FEELING MERCIFUL YOU NOBODY PIECE OF GARBAGE !"

'The Bomu Bomu No Mi (Bomb Bomb Fruit)... I can't believe my luck' Jeremiah thought with a smile under his mask .

He had wanted badly to find this fruit for a long time now . He had actually left his island a few times to look for it based off the design in his DF encyclopedia .

No wonder he hadn't found it . This damn Dirty Bastard had already devoured it .

'This is perfect . I can test my ability to take power from people once I beat him . On another note , its pretty interesting to see who wielded the fruit before Mr. 5 .'

"Well since I'm obviously not gonna bow to a Dirty Bastard like you , I guess you'll just have to kill me ." Jeremiah said casually , ignoring the once again enraged look on Dirty Bastard's face .

"Out of curiosity though , what's your name and do you have a bounty ? If so how much ?" Jeremiah asked curiously . Surely this guy has a bounty in the 100,000,000's if he was this overconfident ?

"BWAHAHA Ya wanna know the name of your killer huh ?! Fine I'll tell ya , ya pathetic nobody! I'M THE GREAT CAPTAIN HUGH JANUS ! THE FUTURE RULER OF ALL SEAS MOST POWERFUL PIRATE OF THIS GENERATION! MY BOUNTY IS $70,000,000 BELI ! THE HIGHEST OF ANYONE THAT I HAVE SEEN ! BWAHAHA!!"

"....Pffft" Jeremiah didn't even bother trying to hold back his laugh . "Hahaha Ahahaha "He nearly fell over from laughing so hard . The guy's name was Hugh Janus . Its too ridiculous to not laugh at . Wiping a tear from his eye he straightened himself up "*Sigh* I'll tell you what man . That was the best laugh I've in a very long time . You think $70,000,000 is something to brag about in the New World ?" He asked rhetorically .

"In Paradise that may have been a decenty bounty , but here? Let me inform you just how small your world view is . There are people with bounties over 100 million , hell there are people with bounties well over even 500 million ."

"Gol D Roger , Whitebeard , Shiki , all these guys currently have a bounty of nearly 1 billion . If you actually believe you're anywhere near their level , then you're definitely a fool . Hell , I'm not even at their level yet so I know you damn well aren't ." Jeremiah said matter of factly .

He had been shocked the few times he'd gone out into the world to get supplies , clothes , etc . Seeing how much some of these people are worth was crazy.

Sure he had of course seen large bounties in the One Piece anime and manga , like Jack who had a bounty of One billion and he wasn't even the captain . But seeing that through a screen or pages of a book just isn't the same as reality .

"ENOUGH!" With that exclamation , Dirty Bastard charged at Jeremiah , using an explosion to give himself in extra boost with a glowing orange fist .

'Should I... No . I'll try to just stick to my hand to hand skills and tech for this fight . ' Bracing himself , Jeremiah quickly activated his shield to block instead of dodging this time .

"{FIST OF DEATH!}" The resulting punch and explosion sent Jeremiah skidding back across the deck at a fast pace .

'Did he really just call out his move ? And such a lame name too .' Jeremiah thought absently and slightly incredulously as he couldn't quite believe that people would actually yell out the names of their techniques .

He wouldn't be caught doing that on his worst day .

Shaking those thoughts away , Jeremiah quickly raised his hand his right palm and after getting his aim correct , he shot a thin metal wire from a very tiny hole in his hand and had it pull him towards the upper railing where he had been earlier .

Quickly zipping past Dirty Bastard , as soon as he landed he jumped straight towards him and gave a strong superman punch to the back of his head and , as he was stumbling , gave a swift sweeping kick to his legs to knock him off his feet .

"GAH!" The pirate yelled in pain as he fell to the floor . His head was rocked from the blow , and he felt like his neck had almost been broken and he eas incredibly dizzy .

"Come on now Anus . You've gotta be at least somewhat strong with that fruit of yours . What'd you even do to get that bounty ? Beat up low level marines ?" Questioned Jeremiah with slight boredom in his voice .

So far this guy has used the same attack twice in a row and hasn't done any damage to him .

Standing up with a snarl , albeit swaying a bit , Dirty Bastard decided to show this nobody his place in the pecking order .

"YOU WANNA SEE POWER?! FINE THEN ! I'LL KILL YOU WITH MY STRONGEST ATTACK!"

This guy could seriously be a past life of Bakugo with how much he yells .

{DEATH BLAST!} Raising both hands which were balled into fists and glowing an almost luminescent red , he aimed them both at Jeremiah .

Seeing the buildup of power and deciding to dodge this one , Jeremiah swiftly leaped to the left and watched as the blast , rather than having a wide range like he figured it would , it was almost like lasers that pierced right through what looked to be about three walls of the ship and out the back , resulting in an explosion that kicked up a large amount of water .

Jeremiah was shocked .

It wasn't the power of the attack that had him shocked , since he had expected something more powerful than that . In terms of power , it was rather disappointing since he was sure that attack could be much more powerful in the hands of someone that has a proper understanding of the full scope of their powers and has good creativity .

Dirty Bastard is just throwing around explosions trying to overwhelm enemies with pure power , rather than finding a way to upgrade his skills and pushing his abilities to their limits .

Still he was at the very least , slightly better suited for this fruit than someone like Mr. 5 who chose to use boogers as his main method of attack .

Anyway , the reason he was shocked was because of the way the attack looked .

It was just like the move Jiren kept using against Goku when they fought .

It literally looked exactly the same , just with a MUCH lower level of power .

Mistaking his shock for fear , Dirty Bastard had a very smug large toothy grin on his face .

"Ya asked what I did for my bounty ? On one of the last islands my crew was on before coming to the New World , someone committed the greatest sin they could ever do . They disrespected me. I was mindin' my own business just gropin' a few women here and there . One of the stupid ones decided to tell their husband and ya know what he did ? He had the nerve to attack me .

"ME! So naturally I had to ... discipline them . The broad was tortured for days and eventually her husband was forced to watch as me and my boys took turns on her . The husband had his fingers cut off and teeth pulled out ."

"They begged for death . So being the merciful man that I am, I put them out of their misery ."

"Along with a quarter of the island we were on" He continued speaking with an evil smile and a wild , gleeful look in his beady little eyes .

The more he spoke the more anger and annoyance bubbled up inside Jeremiah and he glared at Dirty Bastard with shining golden eyes .

He might not be the most saintly person , but he has lines that he will simply not cross .

Senseless killing being one of those lines . A quarter of an island ? There were likely hundreds , maybe even thousands caught up in Dirty Bas- no , Dirty Anus' petty and over the top revenge .

Not to mention what they put that poor woman and her husband through . They apparently broke them to the point that they just wanted to die to get release from their personal hell .

"*Sigh* You... No . No more words . No more jokes . No more. I was gonna kill you swiftly and mostly painlessly but now... You'll suffer ." Jeremiah said with a calm yet deadly voice .

"BWAHAHA ! YA REALLY THINK YOU CAN- URK?!" As the newly named Dirty Anus was about to go on another rant , Jeremiah quickly closed the distance between them and gave two light jabs with his left hand , then a strong hook with his right .

As DA was stumbling back , Jeremiah got into a solid horse stance .

Inhaling and exhaling deeply he stuck his left hand out vertically with his palm wide open , while his right hand was cocked back . His open left hand had gold energy in between his fingers , making them look webbed .

DA , after shaking away the cobwebs , had decided to once again blast himself towards Jeremiah to kill him once and for all .

"NOW YA DIE YA FUCKIN' NOBODY ! I WILL END YOU!" He shouted as he neared Jeremiah , fully intent on killing him in the most brutal way he can think of .

As Jeremiah saw DA nearing him , he calmly waited with a fierce look in his eyes while still in his stance .

Almost .... Just a little more ....

Now!

Quickly striking out with his fist , Jeremiah watched as Dirty Anus continued charging for a few more seconds while laughing at his seemingly useless attack .

Then it happened .

DA was in agony as he felt a shockwave rip through his body knocking all the air out of him . His organs felt like they were being liquidated and his bones rattled to the point of cracking.

"AAAHHH!!" As the pirate screamed and vomited a very unhealthy amount of blood , Jeremiah decided to put an end to this .

Taking out two small silver disks , he threw them through the air like shuriken .

As they were flying they blinked blue twice before they each sot out four thin electrical wires that embedded themselves in two each into DA's limbs .

Not even allowing him to process that , Jeremiah quickly made the strings eletricute him from the inside out .

DA couldn't even begin to describe the pain he was going through . It felt as bad as one would expect when being burned from the inside out .

"FUUUUUU-!" As the electricity stopped DA stood still for a few seconds , twitching sporadically , before he fell to the ground hard , which only increased the level of pain he was in.

Not wasting anytime , Jeremiah walked up to the pirate who was miraculously still conscious , albeit barely .

Every step closer that Jeremiah took , the still twitching pirate captain felt as if the Grim Reaper was coming to escort him to the afterlife .

Jeremiah now stood a about 3 ft away from him .

W- *Cough Cough* Wait . D-don't kill me . I can gi- *gah! cough* *pant pant* I can give you m-money . Women . An- *cough* Anything . Just don't kill me !" The pirate continued to beg .

Jeremiah was now directly in front of him .

"You brought this on yourself . Don't act so pathetic . Take your punishment like a good little Anus ." Jeremiah said in a deadly tone with his blazing eyes .

" But don't you worry your greasy little head . I won't kill you ... At least not in the traditional sense ."

Before the pirate could respond to that rather ambiguously ominous statement , Jeremiah latched his hand on to his head with a hard grip .

After feeling around for a while , he finally found what he was looking for .

Devil fruits all have a sort of special energy to them . Its not the type of energy like chakra or ki that can run out on you in the middle of a fight , seeing as most devil fruits simply require that you have a lot of stamina .

Still though , it is very distinguishable when you know what to look for .

And after all of the tests that Jeremiah has done on his own body after acquiring his powers , he definitely knows what to look for .

Latching onto the energy signature , he proceeded to very slowly and deliberately draw it out of DA's body .

He could do it a lot faster and make it not hurt too much if he chose to .

He chose not to .

DA was in absolute agony . It felt as if his skin was being turned inside out , cut open , and littered with a heavy layer of alcohol .

He honestly didn't know how to properly describe this feeling , but if he had to give a description , he'd probably only have two ways to say it .

It felt like his soul was being ripped out of his body and it was HELL .

He was sure that this man in front of him was a demon in human skin .

As he felt the last bit of energy enter him , Jeremiah let go of the pirates head and stood up and looked down at DA , who now had a hollow look in his eyes .

"I don't need to remove you from this world to kill you . I'll kill your pride . I'll kill your legacy . I'll kill everything you ever stood for ." Jeremiah said in a calm cool tone as he glared down at the piece of trash that seemed to be about to go unconscious any second .

"You will never move your limbs again . The nerves have all been completely fried . On top of that , you'll probably have brain damage from me ripping away your power , but that's your problem , not mine ." Jeremiah watched as the pirate finally fell unconscious with labored breathing .

Shaking his head , he decided to search the ship for any valuable loot .

[Half an hour later]

______________________________________

Turns out there wasn't much . Aside from about twenty million beli , there wasn't much that he was interested in taking . Well , he did find Anus' bounty poster .

He had just finished searching and was now preparing to leave the ship .

'Hmm I guess I could use my telekinesis to carry the money with me . I could certainly use the extra cash . I guess I might as well take him as turn in this bounty as well .' Deciding to do just that , he wrapped DA in some rope , got the money , which he had tied into bags , and lifted them into the air with telekinesis.

Opening his shield he had it hover in front of him before he hopped on and blasted off towards the nearest island .

[One month later ]

Jeremiah had turned in the bounty a month ago and since then he had just been casually flying on his shield around the Grand Line .

He was currently in a similar outfit to what he had on before , except the color scheme was flipped .

He had gone to Paradise and gave the bounty reward to the people on the island that Anus had caused so much pain on .

They were shocked and thankful , but he simply waved them off and continued on his way .

He was just hoping that allowed the people at least feel some sort of closure .

He wasn't a hero of justice or anything like that , but he didn't like people being caused unnecessary pain .

'Hmm ... I really should start looking for crew members ... a ship too I suppose . And I've got just the person in mind to be my first mate .'

With a half smile under his mask , Jeremiah blasted off to return to his island to take care of something before searching for his , hopefully , future vice captain .

...

[Four Months Later]

Jeremiah's business on his island had taken longer than he'd expected . The reason he had gone back was because he had decided to finally add the DNA of a Vulpimancer and Pisciss Valon to his body so that he could have better hearing and smelling plus better fighting ability underwater .

Along with a slightly more important reason .

His body had been feeling weird recently , especially during his battle with those pirates .

It had been a subtle feeling at first , but over the past year the feeling had become more and more noticeable .

It had started after he'd added the Miracle Metal to his body .

Therefore before he added the DNA he ran multiple full body scans on himself with the assistance of his to robo assistants .

And what he had seen had him shocked .

The nanobots that were in his body had started to sort of absorb the metal that had been on his bones .

They had absorbed the metal and started to evolve which definitely intrigued him .

And slightly worried him .

He wasn't worried about becoming too powerful or anything like that . He was the type to embrace power , not run away from it . No what he was worried - well perhaps highly curious is a more apt term - about was if he would even be able to honestly call himself human once the process was complete .

Or if he'd be something totally different .

As it stood , it had been slowly but surely elevating his powers/abilities . It was honestly a little - actually more than a little - annoying because he had to keep adjusting himself to make sure he kept a good control on his strength , speed , wind control , shapeshifting , etc .

One time he had meant to go for a run around his island....

And ended up blasting himself off the island and into the sea .

Yeah . It was a pain .

Shaking his thoughts away , Jeremiah continued to his destination .

[On An Island In Paradise]

On a mostly peaceful island in Paradise , stood a small area lined with different small businesses . Among these stood a restaurant .

A ramen shop to be exact .

"Hi! Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen ! What can I get for you today ?" This was asked by a young man who was 19 years old .

Said young man had spiky blonde hair , cool blue eyes , and three whisker like birthmarks on his cheeks and was about 6 ft tall .

He was currently wearing a simple long sleeved white tunic with black pants and an orange apron .

This was Naruto Uzumaki and he was currently working for a friend of his that had taken him in as a young child when his parents died .

He was glad to help them out since they'd done so much for him over the years . Still..... He couldn't honestly say he was totally satisfied with his current life .

He wanted a life of adventure ! A man's romance ! He wanted action and excitement ! He wanted to go down in history as one of - if not THE - most awesome people to ever live !

Which is something he (unfortunately) could not do if he stayed on this island .

"Naruto !" Yelled an older man in a white chef outfit , hat included .

This old man was Teuchi Ichiraku . The owner of this shop and a grandfatherly figure to Naruto . He also had a daughter named Ayame , but she was away right now with her friends .

"Huh ?" Was Naruto's intelligent reply .

"*Sigh* You were spacing out again . We've got customers that need their order taken ." Said Teuchi with an exasperated tone since this was something the staff and regulars had gotten used to .

Naruto would always stare off into the distance , lost in his thoughts . Teuchi already had his suspicions about the reason for all his daydreaming , but couldn't really find a good time to bring it up .

" Haha... Sorry about that Old Man ," Naruto said as he laughed sheepishly and walked up to the counter to greet the next customer .

"Hello sir , welcome to Ichiraku Ramen , what can I get for you today ?" Said Naruto with a wide smile while having to look up to see the customer's face .

The customer , who was wearing a very simple loose fitting long sleeved red shirt with loose but not exactly baggy black jogging pants , and a very light looking pair of red black and white running shoes . He also had on a pair of glasses and two necklaces . One short one with a silver star medallion (shaped like Captain Marvel's symbol) and the other was longer with a small black and gold spear on it . He also had a pair of big red headphones resting on his neck and a black pouch on his waist .

The headphones were for two reasons . The first and most important being that he was still adjusting to his heightened sense of hearing and it could be overwhelming sometimes . The second was simply for his love of music .

This was of course Jeremiah , not that Naruto knew that , who was not wearing his mask right now showing that his beard had grown out to be slightly bushy but very well groomed and his long twisted hair was still in a ponytail with some hanging over the front of his head .

Jeremiah decided to go for a simple laid back look today .

He had known for a while now that there were characters in this world from other series and he wasted no time in tracking down the locations of the ones he would want on his crew .

Jeremiah stared at Naruto for about 10 seconds before shaking his head .

It was pretty surreal to actually talk to Naruto face to face in real life . He was pleased with what he could sense from Naruto .

He was strong . Not at his level yet , but he wasn't just leagues and leagues behind him or anything like that . He was actually not too far behind from a pure power standpoint .

He was curious how Naruto's power worked in this world since this Naruto wasn't from the Elemental Nations .

"Just a vegetable ramen with green tea ." Jeremiah said while gazing around the shop .

It was nothing grand but it didn't need to be . It had a very homey vibe that made it a comfortable place to be .

Naruto nodded and watched as the customer walked to an empty table , away from the other customers , and pulled a book out of his pouch and started reading while waiting for his order .

As Naruto prepared the order , he couldn't help but wonder .

Everyone else in this place were your average civilians so they couldn't feel it . Naruto on the other hand ...

He could tell that despite this guy's rather plain look , at least in terms of clothing , that he was strong .

Stronger than him . He was stronger than him and Naruto certainly was no slouch , as far as he knew , but he could tell that if he and this guy fought that he would have to go all out if he wanted to win . Even then it would still be difficult .

Just who was he ?

He probably should have been worried . Wondering what a guy like that could want with a simple shop like this .

And yet all Naruto could feel was excitement . This could be what he had been waiting for .

Walking up to the table he saw the guy mark his page and put his book back into his pouch and look at him with a small smile .

"That was faster than I'd expected . Hope it's as good as I've heard ." He said to Naruto .

Looking at him with a wide smile Naruto set his order down on the table .

"Well we try our best . My name is Naruto by the way . So where did you hear about us ?" Asked Naruto curiously since he was sure he'd never seen him on this island before .

"Jeremiah . As for where I heard about this... Well I'm a bit of an adventurer . I heard about this place in passing and decided to check it out ," Partially true . " and so far I've gotta say that this place is pretty relaxing ." Jeremiah said with a calm smile .

Naruto's eyes seemed to light up with curiosity . "An adventurer huh ? That must be awesome!" Naruto said with quite a bit of enthusiasm .

Jeremiah invited Naruto to sit down with him as he sipped his tea and Naruto wasted no time in doing so since there weren't too many other customers and the other staff could take care of them .

"It's definitely a fun way to live . I don't have to conform to someone else's rules or anything like that . Also it should be pretty fun to look for treasure from time to time . Then you've got people so strong that they can destroy an entire island without even using their full power . That's not even mentioning all the crazy islands the world has to offer . Sky Islands , Fishman Island , an island where it actually rains lightning of all things ... It may not be the safest occupation , but I wouldn't change it for anything ." The more Jeremiah spoke , the more intrigued Naruto seemed to become .

He really wanted to have that type of life .

"Wait wait wait . I've heard of Fishman Island , but Sky Islands ? Are you saying there's actual islands in the sky?! ." Naruto asked animatedly . He drew a few looks from other customers before they went back to their food .

"Yup . The world is large . Probably more than anyone could ever imagine without actually seeing it for themself . I probably haven't even seen a quarter of the world . Not even remotely close to that actually . Still though .... It's not as fun as it could be with no companions by my side . Why bother doing anything great when you've got no one to share the glory with you ?" Jeremiah said after eating some of his ramen . It was definitely the best he'd ever had . The tea was nice as well , but not quite at the level he could make it .

It had always been his favorite beverage so he put in a lot of work to perfect his tea making .

Naruto could understand where he was coming from . While he wants to be one of the most awesome people to ever live , he would find it much more enjoyable to do it with friends by his side .

That way they'd all be the most awesome group of people (in this world at least) to ever live .

As Naruto was about to respond , there was suddenly a very loud commotion coming from outside .

"IT'S THAT TIME OF THE MONTH AGAIN FOLKS ! PAY UP OR DIE! " Suddenly Naruto's face became one of disdain and he balled his fists tightly .

Even on a peaceful island , there will always be outliers .

"Who are they Naruto ?" Jeremiah asked as he continued drink his tea and eat his ramen .

"Just a bunch of lowlife pirates . They came to this island about a year back and now they force all the shop owners to give them sixty percent of their monthly earnings . No one on this island is strong enough to realistically fight back so the pirates just continue to grow more greedy and impatient . It hasn't even been a full month yet !" Naruto said angrily as his balled fists shook .

"Hmm" As Jeremiah finished his meal , he noticed the pirates bust open the door of the shop and the other patrons begin screaming .

Walking up to Teuchi , the leader of this little band of misfits started making demands .

"Give us the money you old fart ! " The one at the front of the group yelled.

"We don't have it . We're still trying to make up for what was taken last time . If you could wait just a couple more weeks we could- " Teuchi didn't get to finish because the pirate backhanded him sending him to the ground .

"You've got some nerve trying to hold out on us! Give us the money or we'll burn this shop down with you in it !" The pirate yelled threateningly while Teuchi's eyes went wide with fear .

Not accepting this any longer , Naruto walked up to the bastards .

"Hey ! Keep your hands off of him ! We don't have the damn money ! You bastards just came and collected two weeks ago ! How could you expect anyone to make that up in such a small amount of time ?!" Naruto exclaimed angrily once he reached the pirates .

"Naruto stay out of this !" Teuchi yelled since he didn't want Naruto to cause more trouble than necessary or to get hurt for his sake .

"Not this time Old Man . I'm sick and tired of these bastards thinking they can just come to this island out of the blue and suddenly just take control of all of our businesses ! Its time someone stood up to them !" Naruto said fiercely .

"You'd better sit down boy before we decide to kill you ! Matter of fact.... Hey boys didn't this guy have a daughter ?" The one in front asked with a cruel smile .

Suddenly Teuchi's eyes widened even further in fear and he broke out in a cold sweat . He had hoped that maybe they would forget about Ayame since she wasn't here .

No such luck .

"Hahaha That's right . The boss'll be happy to have her as a plaything." As the pirates continued to laugh like they'd won the lottery , Naruto was glaring murderously at them with eyes wide in rage .

He truly hated these pirates .

"Hey ! How's about we take all the women in this village ? Little girls too . I hear they're especially tight !" The pirates seemed to fully believe they could just do whatever they wanted with no consequences .

Which is why they were shocked when the one at the front , along with a few others , was sent flying out the front of the shop .

It didn't take long to figure out who had done it . There stood Naruto with his fist still outsretched and his eyes now had slit pupils .

"If you EVER threaten the people I care for I'll kill you . I've had enough of your boss acting like he's the king of this island . Today I fight back! I'm not gonna let him keep ruining people's lives !" Exclaimed Naruto passionately .

The only reason he had never retaliated before was because he had been worried that if he wasn't able to take all of the grunts plus the boss , that they'd retaliate and try to raze his village to the ground .

But no more. There's no way he'd just let them take and rape women and little girls . If he had to fight alone then so be it .

"Y-YOU LITTLE SHIT! WHEN OUR BOSS HEARS ABOUT THIS YOU'LL BE DEAD ! YOU'LL ALL BE FUCKING DEAD! YOU HEAR ME?! DEAD !" One of the remaining pirates yelled angrily .

"Hmm I don't think so . " Said a familiar - to Naruto at least - voice from the middle of the pirates .

"Wha-?!" As a pirate was about to turn around , he was suddenly struck with a mighty chop to the back of his neck and he was out cold before he even hit the floor .

"Yo Naruto . Sorry if I interrupted your fun but these guys were annoying me and ruining the other customer's meals . I'm sure you don't mind right ?" Jeremiah asked casually while backhanding another pirate , sending him flying out the door .

He had been quietly watching everything happen to see what Naruto would do .

"Heh , By all means . Though we need to leave one conscious to get their leader's location ." Naruto said as he quickly took out multiple enemies with swift kicks and punches .

"My thoughts exactly ."

[Some time later]

Jeremiah and Naruto were currently standing in front of the pirate's hideout .

They had easily taken out all of the small fry and Jeremiah had wrapped them all up in some of his metal wires which in addition to keeping them tied up , also dug into their skin the more they moved . He had informed them of this , so if they died then that was their own fault .

He didn't care either way .

It didn't take too long for one of the pirates to give up the location of their hideout . The threat of being electrocuted from the inside out tends to do that .

"So Naruto , your island your call . How would you like to handle this ?" Jeremiah asked as he observed the area .

"I'll kick the leader's ads if that's alright with you !" Naruto said as he pounded his right fist into his left palm .

"By all means ." Jeremiah responded since this was far more personal to Naruto than it was to him .

With a fierce look Naruto proceeded to kick down the door .

"What the?!"

"Who're they?!"

"It doesn't matter , kill them!"

With that said the two were rushed by about forty low class pirates .

"Well , looks like we've interrupted a party a Naruto . Did you bring any punch ?" Jeremiah asked slightly jokingly .

Naruto gave a wide smile . "Heh , Of Course !" With that exclamation Naruto jumped straight at the group of charging enemies and delivered multiple devastating punches that definitely broke bones .

'Well now , I do believe this will be the beginning of a beautiful relationship ." Thought Jeremiah as he smiled and jumped into the action .

[Underground]

It had taken about five minutes to clear out all the henchmen on the floors above ground .

As they made their way down they engaged in light conversation .

"So Naruto , you're a pretty skilled fighter . Do you have a master or were you self taught ? " Jeremiah asked since he hadn't seen or sensed anyone around the parts of the island that he'd explored with the power you'd expect from one who trained Naruto .

"Mostly self taught . My dad trained me a bit before he died , but I was really young so it wasn't anything too advanced , but it did give me a good starting point to build my style off of . " Said Naruto as he walked with his hands behind his head .

"What about you?" He asked Jeremiah curiously .

"I was trained in Taekwondo , Karate , and Judo as well , though not to as high a level as the other two , from a young age , but every other style I know is self taught . Moving on from that though , what is someone with skill like your's doing staying on an island like this ? Surely you want to do more with your life ?"

Naruto was silent for a bit before he let out a quiet sigh and gave his answer .

"*Sigh*... I do want to leave . It's just... I don't know how to . I mean Teuchi and even Ayame have been so kind to me and have done so much for me since my parents died . How selfish would I be if I abandoned them just to satisfy my own desires ?" Naruto said with a sad look on his face .

Seems like he was really conflicted about this .

"Naruto ."

"Huh ?"

"I think it's okay to be selfish sometimes . When people care about you, I mean REALLY care about you , they would want you to live your life for you , not them . I'm sure they would be sad to know that you're holding back on your own happiness to protect their's ." Jeremiah said as he looked at Naruto .

Naruto's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Jeremiah before he looked away .

"Anyway , we're here . I'll get rid of the small fry and let you take the boss ." Though from what he could sense , the boss wasn't anything impressive .

Seriously , he was probably as strong as an average marine captain .

"Got it!"

With that said they walked further through the dimly lit room and finally came upon the boss the rest of his minions .

"You two , who the he'll are you?! You've got nerve coming uninvited into the hideout of the great King Zarzal!" Indeed this guy was apparently Zarzal from Gate , just a little stronger .

Jeremiah and Naruto just stared blankly at him .

YOU! You actually dare to ignore me?!" As Zarzal continued to rant , Naruto and Jeremiah were having a whispered conversation .

"Hey Jeremiah..."

"Yeah ?"

"Is it just me... Or is this guy weak ? Like really super weak ?" Asked Naruto since he felt like he needed to make sure his senses were working properly .

"No .. No it is definitely not just you . This Zebo guy is laughably weak . Especially when you factor in his arrogance ." Jeremiah stated as he stared at the madly ranting man .

"Yeah .... I'm gonna beat him up now ." Said Naruto with a deadpan as he began to move towards .

"Please do . His voice is damn annoying . "

As Naruto was walking his body suddenly started to shift . His nails grew into claws and his teeth sharpened . He grew more muscular (picture Mirio's size from MHA just a tiny bit smaller) and shot up from 6 ft to 6'5 . Although what was probably most noticeable was that he now had a golden tail and fox ears on top of his head , all with white tips , along with fur partially covering his arms and legs , which showed due to his pants ripping from his new size .

Jeremiah was intrigued . He noticed the henchmen that were running at Naruto had stopped and started backing up in fear . Even the self proclaimed king had stopped yelling and was staring at Naruto with trepidation .

"D-DAMN YOU! All of you freaks with powers walking around like you're better than me ! I'm not afraid you! Do you hear me you little brat?! I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU !" While Z-boy was ranting , again , hysterically , Jeremiah had already taken out all of the henchmen .

Naruto just held one hand out to the side .

And a swirling blue sphere started to form .

"Raaaaah!" The wannabe king yelled as he ran at Naruto with a sword extended in front of him .

'Talk about telegraphing your attack.' Thought Jeremiah as he saw Zarzal just a few steps away from Naruto .

And Naruto wasted no time in capitalizing on his opponent's straightforward attack .

"{Rasengan!}" Yelled Naruto as he put his arm in front of him and his attack instantly broke the tip of the sword and proceeded to grind down the rest of the blade until it reached to Zarzal's hand holding the hilt .

"AAAAAHHH!!" Was the yell of Zarzal as his hand was mangled beyond repair after the attack .

Naruto effortlessly beat up Zarzal within a matter of seconds .

How was a guy like this ever a captain ?

"I can't believe these guys were all this weak . If I had known that even the captain was this weak I would've come for him much sooner." Naruto said as he went back to his base form .

"Still it's good that you took them out now rather than waiting any longer . Even putting aside what they planned to do with the women and girls of your village , you shouldn't give your enemies time to get the jump on you . They may have been weak now , but it's possible that within a few years this guy could've been captain or maybe even vice admiral level , even though I very strongly doubt that . He doesn't seem like the type to work for what he wants , but anything can happen right ?" Jeremiah said as he finished wrapping Zarzal up in his metal wires and gave him a sharp jolt .

"I guess I can understand that . Anyway , what should we do with these guys ?" Naruto asked as he scratched his head .

"You head on back to your village . I'll take care of the cleanup ."

"You sure ? I don't mind helping ."

"Nah , I'm sure Mr. Teuchi is probably worried sick about you . You should let him and the others know that you're okay and that they won't have to worry about these guys anymore . Ever ." Jeremiah said as he wrapped up all of the henchmen as well .

"I guess you're right . It's a good thing Ayame wasn't there . She'd lecture me all day about being reckless ." Naruto said with a shudder .

He hated those lectures .

Chuckling , Jeremiah nodded for Naruto to go .

"Anyway go on ahead . I'll meet up with you once I've finished . Oh now that I think of it you should search this place for all the money that they've taken from you guys ."

Nodding with a wide smile and giving a mock salute , Naruto ran off at a fast pace .

Once he was gone Jeremiah turned back to the tied up pirates with cold eyes . "Well ... Let's have some fun ."

[Few Minutes Later - Beach]

Jeremiah was standing at the shore with all of the pirates on the ground around him . He had also collected all the pirates that he and Naruto had previously beat down .

"You all know everything you did wrong so I won't waste my breath pointing out each misdeed . Just know that this is your punishment for said deeds and pray that you survive the experience ." With that said , he got down to business .

He lifted all of them up with his telekinesis and sent them rocketing off far into the distance and in different directions . Well he did something a little different for Zarzal .

Grabbing both if his legs , Jeremiah started spinning at a very fast speed .

Unfortunately for Zarzal , he woke up just as Jeremiah decided to let go . It wouldn't have been as unpleasant if he'd just stayed unconscious the whole time .

"FUUUUU-!!!"

Zarzal was thrown with force so extreme that his form was no longer visible after a few seconds .

Stretching his limbs , Jeremiah shook his head and headed towards Naruto's location .

"All in a day's work I suppose ."

[At the village]

Walking back into the village , Jeremiah wasn't too surprised to see the celebration party had already started .

Men and women were singing and dancing , children running around playing games , everyone eating good food . It was a nice atmosphere .

"Jeremiah !" Naruto called out with a wave and a smile as he stood at the entrance of Ichiraku .

Walking up to Naruto , they bumped fists and decided to walk around the party together . Though as they were walking , Jeremiah noticed something .

"Looks like you're a local hero now ." Jeremiah said with a small smile as he noticed people smiling and congratulating Naruto , with the kids looking at him with admiration .

Chuckling Naruto folded his hands behind his head .

"Haha I don't think of myself as one . I was just doing what should have been done when those bastards first came here acting like they owned the place . Still , thanks for your help with them. " Naruto said as he turned his head to look at Jeremiah .

"Don't sweat it . They were annoying . Like flies I suppose . You can't help but want to swat them when you see them ." Jeremiah said casually .

Naruto just laughed with a sweatdrop .

"Anyway , what's your plan from here on out ?" Jeremiah asked curiously .

"Plan ?" Asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow .

" Yes plan . Surely you aren't gonna stay here the rest of your life right ?"

Naruto just stayed quiet .

"*Sigh* Well I'll be leaving some time within the next two days ." Jeremiah said as he grabbed a juice from a table they walked past and Naruto's head snapped to Jeremiah .

"You're more than welcome to come with me man . In fact I think it'd be pretty cool if you did ." Jeremiah said as he looked at Naruto over the rim of his drink .

"I want to . I really do , but ..." Naruto trailed off with a conflicted look on his face .

"Don't hesitate Naruto . Besides these people are safe now . Trust me when I say those pirates will never show their faces here again . Look I'm not exactly in a rush , but I do have other places I need to go . I'll let you talk it over with Teuchi and when you've decided , just let me know . I'll either be in the inn up the road or at the shore ." Jeremiah said as they stopped and stared at each other .

Naruto kept staring before he nodded silently and turned around .

"Alright then ... See you later ." He said as he waved over his shoulder .

Jeremiah gave a peace sign and went on his way .

[Next Day - Morning]

Naruto was distractedly wiping off a table while thinking about Jeremiah's offer .

He wanted to go . He really did . Jeremiah was the first person he had met that was like him . Powers and an extreme desire for adventure.

He wanted to find a way to talk to Teuchi about it , but it was proving to be rather difficult .

"Naruto ." Speak of the Devil .

"Old Man... " Said Naruto as he continued wiping .

"*Sigh* Sit down and let me talk to you Naruto ." Teuchi said seriously while sitting down and patting the table .

Glancing at him , Naruto put down his towel with a quiet sigh and sat down .

"What is it ?" Naruto asked .

Teuchi stared quietly at Naruto for a while before he finally said one word .

"Go ."

"W... What ?" Naruto asked with slightly widened eyes as he looked right into Teuchi's .

"I've known for a long time now Naruto . Or at least had my suspicions . You should go . Your destiny is not to stay on this island your whole life ." Teuchi said in a soft yet serious tone as he stared right back into Naruto's eyes .

"How could I ? How could I just leave to fulfill my own desires after everything you've done for me?! How ungrateful would that make me ?!" Naruto exclaimed .

Teuchi grabbed his hand softly .

"Naruto , neither Ayame nor myself want you living your life trying to pay back some debt you believe you owe us , when in truth you don't owe us anything .

When you love someone , you don't do things for them because you expect something in return . You do it bcause you love them and their happiness is your's .

And what would make us happy is you following your dreams ." Teuchi said with a smile and tears running down his face .

Staring at Teuchi with wide and watery eyes , Naruto gave him a hug with while crying softly .

[Next Day - Noon]

Jeremiah was waiting patiently while wearing his headphones . He was fairly sure that Naruto was gonna show up , so at the moment he was just waiting for him .

He certainly hoped he did . He really wanted Naruto to be his vice captain .

Suddenly he turned his head to the side .

And saw Naruto running up to him with a wide smile and big bag on his back .

"Heeeeeey !" As Naruto finally reached him , he suddenly gave a salute .

"Naruto Uzumaki reporting for duty !" Naruto said while still saluting with a smile .

' Good to know he's so excited .' Jeremiah thought with a small smile and a sweatdrop as he pulled his headphones off .

"I'm glad you could make it Naruto . I take it the talk went well ?"

Naruto just gave a thumbs up with a nod and his smile still on his face .

"Alright then . Have everything you need ? Cause once we're gone , we're gone ."

"Yup ! My ramen , training equipment , clothes , and everything else I'll need . I can get anything else during the journey ."

"Cool . Well , let's head out ." With that said , Jeremiah began to walk to the shore .

"So Captain , what's our next move ?" Naruto asked while holding on to the straps of his backpack .

Glancing at Naruto , Jeremiah replied "We need a few more crew members before we do the first big thing that I have in mind . You and I could probably handle it ourselves if I'm being honest , but I'd rather be safe than sorry . Once we get them , we'll be heading out of the Grand Line to take care of the aforementioned big thing . Also , feel free to just call me Jeremiah . You don't have to call me Captain ." Was Jeremiah's answer .

"Awesome! Hope it's something fun!" Said Naruto with a smile .

"Well , it'll certainly be something . Anyway though , I'm curious . What exactly is your power Naruto ? It seemed like a pretty cool one ." Jeremiah asked very curiously .

He had a slight suspicion but he wanted to be absolutely sure .

"Oh! I ate the Inu Inu fruit , model : Kyuubi (Dog Dog fruit , model : Nine Tailed Fox) . I can obviously turn into a large Nine Tailed Fox , or do a hybrid form with up to nine tails . I can also use fox fire , fox illusions , and a special energy called Chakra which lets me do a lot of different things . (I'm combining Highschool DxD Kyuubi abilities with Naruto's style.)

"That's seriously amazing Naruto . That's probably one of the most powerful devil fruits in the world . Definitely one of the most powerful amongst Zoans . It makes me curious what other Mythical Zoans are out there , just waiting to be discovered . " Jeremiah said honestly .

Naruto would definitely become one of the most powerful people in this world .

Jeremiah really liked Mythical Zoan fruits partly because of the rarity , but also just how powerful they had the potential to be . Sure that can be said for a multitude of devil fruits , his being chief among them , but the Mythical Zoans just had a certain appeal to him .

He didn't care much for Ancient Zoans . He really didn't see much appeal in those ones . Say you ate a T-Rex model . Sure you might be a lot stronger than most people in your full dino form , but that short reach would be incredibly annoying . Though he did suppose that the hybrid form may be a little decent at least .

Just look at Marco , who had the Mythical Phoenix fruit . It wouldn't be surprising if the awakening for his phoenix fruit actually allows him to regenerate lost limbs or even come back to life , making him at least a pseudo immortal . Although it did suck that his flames couldn't actually burn people and were only meant for regeneration .

"Haha , Well I guess I am pretty amazing . What about you though ?" Naruto said playfully and asked curiously .

"Me ? I have absolute control over wind . I don't use it all the time , but it is pretty Badass if I do say so myself . Wind is a lot more versatile than most people would think . The electric metal wires I was using was something I created ." Jeremiah answered as they finally reached the shore .

No need to list all of his powers right now . Besides , it'd be fun to see the surprise on his crew's face when they see that he has more than one power .

"Hmm I hope I get to see it soon . And you must be smart to make those tools of your's . I've never seen anything like that on this island ." Naruto said as he looked at Jeremiah .

"Eh , I guess I'm not too shabby . Anyway we're here . " With that said Jeremiah hopped up onto a ship that was waiting at the dock .

"Whoa . Where'd you get this ?" Naruto said as he joined Jeremiah on the ship .

"I stole it from the pirates of course ." Jeremiah said bluntly .

"Oh ." Naruto said simply as he walked around the deck .

The ship was more than big enough for the two of them . It was maybe a little bigger than what Jeremiah would expect the Going Merry to be and was painted baby blue and yellow .

He wasn't a fan of the colors , but it's not like this would be their ship for long anyway .

Naruto had just finished putting his things into a room and saw Jeremiah waiting for him .

"Everything set Naruto ?"

"Yup. Ready when you are !" Naruto stated with a smile .

With a smile , Jeremiah approached the helm after making sure all the sails were unfurled .

"You and me , Naruto . The two of us... Are gonna shake this world up something fierce ." Jeremiah said as Naruto walked up to him and they bumped fists .

With that , the two set off to look for more crew mates and begin their great adventure .

Notes:

Finished at last . Hope you all enjoyed that one .

In case you were curious , the action in this chapter was ended quickly purposefully .

The reason I did this is because Zarzal was so arrogant , yet so weak that I felt like he deserved an anticlimactic ending .

Anyway I hope you all liked the way I handled Naruto's recruitment and powers . I wasn't gonna have Naruto with no chakra , nor was I gonna have him just pulled out of the Naruto world either .

Why use Naruto as a character in your story if you're not gonna give him any chakra related abilities ? Or at least give him another set of powers where he could do similar things to chakra and more .

See you all next time .
