Alex was happy about his body training, in this past years, he had been 6 times breakthrough in the body cultivation, he could lift up to 180kg weight. Maybe, he would be very strong when puberty was kicked and gave more balls to him.

He wasn't only progress in training, but also progress in some information about merchants. In this world, there wasn't organizations that gave regulation and protection to the merchants ship. Alex got idea to make merchants guild. He wanted to make this guild regulated laws to merchants and gave them protection, merchants wouldn't need to worry about their and goods safety.

Alex was sure he would get more money and influences if he became boss in the merchants guild. He would open mercenary system in the guild too. He knew some distribution zones at south blue and some info about local goods and items at every islands. If he could get some tax from every merchants for protection, get money sharing from mercenary system, and sell some weapon to revolutionary army. He would be the most influential and rich person at south blue.

Alex didn't care about marines, pirates, and revolutionary army. He wanted freedom and protected his family. If he was strong, rich and has influences, every organizations would give him a respect. For now, alex only made prepararion to be a bounty hunter. He would meet fellow bounty hunter who he could trust to join his guild. He would trying to get more merchant's connection. As a port boy, he knew a few merchants. Somehow he got log pose for the grand line and south blue's maps. He used his saved money to buy those items. He stored those items at his house.

He had been learn a little about navigation, most alex's time was used for training and working. He felt happy. Different from his past life, he had more family such as oldman tota and the villagers. They were good people and took care of him. In earth, he was alone after his parents died. His family was his martial arts teacher. Because he inherited companies, he was need to be cautious from a backstaber. In earth, he was always smile and hide his true feelings.

At the afternoon, "Alex, please help me move those box, i'll treat you some juices latter." Said merchants uncle. He had body build as if a warrior, 190cm with robust body, orange hair, black eyes, his age was 30 years old. He was from east blue. He wanted to buy otto island's local fruit and sold some items from east blue. His name is David.

Alex didn't know how david could cross calm belt. He crossed east blue to south blue. He didn't want to tell alex how he could cross it. 'Is he devil fruit eater?' Alex thought.

"Ugh, okay uncle. Please don't treat me with ordinary juices, i want grapes juices that already have been fermented for 1 year." Said alex with annoyed expression. At least, he would taste some cheap wine, hopefully.

"Huh brat, with tiny body of yours, you need to grow up first." David said with laughs and knock alex's head.

"Ugh, it hurts uncle. I'll move some goods first. Don't forget my fermented grape juices." Alex ran to the ship's storeroom.

David laughed about alex antic. Sometimes, he felt alex wasn't like normal child. Alex moved out some items while running, he wore his weighting bracelets and vest. There wasn't any change weight. Alex didn't has much money. So, he would buy new equipment after 6 months. He wanted to be strong fast and he needed some connection for his dream. So, he stayed to work at the port.

"Uncle, i'm done some job here. Can i have some payment now?" Said alex while drinking his grape juices.

"Huh? Where did you get that?" Took the wine bottle from alex.

"Eh, i got from your crew member." His cheeks slightly became red.

"Huh, i will scold my crew member later." Said david with frown.

"Uncle, about that devil fruit, did you sell it already? I'll save some money to buy it, so please keep it for me." Said alex happily.

"Hah, i'd say again alex. That devil fruit is the weakest paramecia type, you could get better devil fruit at grand line. You won't become strong if you eat that devil fruit." Said david while scolding alex.

"That doesn't matter. I want become strong. Haha." Said alex with happy expression. For local that's lacks imagination, that devil fruit seemed the weakest, but for alex, that devil fruit was to OP. He had been read the devil fruit description paper from david when he moved it to storehouse. David thought it was safe to tell alex, because he was a child and that devil fruit made soundproof room with strange runes.

David didn't like devil fruit. He stored it when he found it at the small island in the grandline. Alex told his story to david, about his mom, oldman tota, his dream to become strong, and his training. But he kept secret about transmigration. David thought that alex was a kid who was happy playing as merchant.

He didn't know. Because at this moment, new figure that controlled south blue from the background would be born.
