2 Chapter – 2 One Month

"Heh… counting the previous three, this is the fourth rabbit… I suppose four rabbits should be enough for dinner." I muttered while looking at the small rabbit that was caught in the trap I had prepared.

Using a simple knife that was made out of the bone of one of the rabbits I had eaten a few days ago, I killed the four rabbits and then made my way toward my home.

Arriving at my home, firstly I washed my hands and feet, then I started to prepare the dinner.

"Let's see… before I grill them, I have to Skin and dress them, so firstly, let's start with…" I muttered as I hung the four rabbits by their hind legs using makeshift hooks made up of bones to make the process easier.

"Now I must remove their fur," I started at the base of their hind legs by making a shallow cut through their skin around the ankle joint, then I firmly grasped the cut fur and pulled it down towards the head peeling the skin away from the body in one fluid motion.

I continued pulling the fur off the rabbit, working towards the front legs and neck area, and used the bone knife to make additional cuts where they were required, of course, I had to be careful not to puncture the underlying flesh.

After the fur was removed, it was time to remove the head and the feet, "For the head, just below the jawline, and for the feet, at the ankle joints," I muttered as I made clean cuts.

"Next is, opening the abdominal cavity," I muttered as I made a shallow cut around the vent, I had to be careful not to puncture the intestines and then extended it upward towards the chest using the knife to carefully separate the skin from the abdominal wall, after that, I made a horizontal cut across the lower abdomen and continued up towards the chest, opening the abdominal cavity.

Once the abdominal cavity was open, I reached into it and carefully started to remove the organs. I started by pulling out the intestines while making sure not to rupture them and release their content, I moved on to the liver, heart, lungs, and other organs, saving them to be used for future bait that I might use while catching some fish, "Now that the entrails have been removed, it's time to clean these…"

I rinsed the inside of the rabbit cavity with cold water to remove any remaining blood or debris and also removed the scent glands using clean cuts, scent glands can impart a strong flavor, something I wanted to avoid.

The last step was to once again rinse the rabbits using cold water in order to remove any remaining debris, after that I pat them dry with a clean cloth.

With the last step completed,

"Hygiene is important, after all, I wouldn't want to die from a disease because I was being a little too careless and lazy," I muttered as I set up the woods and fire, the rabbits were skinned and dressed, it was time to grill them.

I used some bones whose size and density I had increased to skewer the meat, sprinkled some spices I had obtained through bartering from one of the taverns in the village, and placed it in front of the burning fire for grilling.

While the food was being prepared, I couldn't help but look at the full moon in the night sky and muttered to myself, "Before I realized, it's already been a month since I arrived in this world."

Yes, it has been a month since I transmigrated into the World of One Piece. The last month has been fruitful to some extent as I have spent it entirely familiarizing myself with my surroundings and people.

When I woke up in this World, I found myself inside a small hut that was built at the edge of a small village, since there was no sign of 'Partys Bar', or 'Makino' in the village, I was certain that this wasn't Foosha Village, and after further investigation, I figured out that this is a village named Vrichfield.

The name 'Vrichfield' stems from the 'Vrich' tree, a deciduous tree that is known for its slender but tall trunk, distinctive bark, and delicate leaves. And since there is an entire field of Vrich trees around the village, so the village was named the 'Vrichfield', well, that's what I heard two 'adults' talk about over their cups of booze.

In any case, upon further investigation, I learned that Vrichfield is on the opposite end of Dawn Island, that is, there is a mountainous forest, a complete Goa Kingdom, and then another mountainous between Vrichfield and Foosha.

So, yeah, I suppose I am quite far from Foosha Village, and it would take at the very least four to five days to travel from Vrichfield to Foosha.

Of course, I have no plans of going to Foosha Village at this point since that is incredibly dangerous for a kid like me. True I am stronger than most adult humans despite being only six years old physically, courtesy of my half-Oni-half-Merfolk bloodline, there are animals as large as trucks in the forest, who are capable of completely digesting me without even needing to burp should I encounter them.

Aside from the dangerous part, it is also quite pointless, there would be nothing in Foosha Village at this point in time since Luffy would be a year old at most, so yeah, no point in going to Foosha Village.

"Maybe I will think about going to Foosha Village for a while once Shanks and the rest of the Red-haired pirates stay there," I muttered thoughtfully.

Now that we are clear about my surroundings, let's talk about my strength.

As I have already mentioned before, because of possessing a half-Oni-half-Merfolk bloodline, I am physically stronger than most adults despite being only six years old. I am already capable of breaking trees with my punches, and I am confident enough to inflict serious damage to any ordinary humans once we get into a fight, though I still have to figure out the extent of the damage I can cause to someone since I haven't really gotten into a fight with anyone so far.

Aside from the strength aspect, I have also tested my ability to breathe underwater, after all, I possess a half-merfolk bloodline, so being able to breathe underwater and communicate with marine life is another advantage that I have.

Now let's talk about the third aspect of my strength. Since I have eaten (literally ate the unpalatable and disgusting piece of shit) the Moa Moa no Mi, I have become a More More Human, or in my case, a More More half-Oni-half-merfolk, and therefore, I can apply the concept of 'More' to various attributes.

For now, I am mainly focused on five attributes which include speed, weight, size, mass, and density, and will move on to other attributes as well in the future as my physical strength increases. Based on the current stage of development, I can already triple these things compared to their original size, which means I can increase any of these five attributes of anything I touch by three times which is not bad considering I am only six years old right now.

Of course, the physical strain of increasing these attributes is not small, but considering the fact that I am half-Oni-half-Merfolk, this is not a problem.

I have a lot of plans for the Moa Moa no Mi, and the possible development directions I can take in the future, but for that, I still have to put in a lot of effort.

With that out of the way, let's move to the second last aspect of my strength, which is Haki. As of yet, I haven't started Haki training. Of course, since I know that I possess the knowledge and means to train Haki because of the wish I made to ROB, therefore, I know that to train Haki, I need to have extraordinary physical strength as well, only then my Haki will improve.

I plan to spend the next few months working on my physical strength and after that, I will start with Observation Haki. For the training of observation Haki, I have a solid plan and approach, so I know that it will be easiest to master, but of course, the problem of physical strength and exhaustion has to be dealt with, otherwise, the plan will be of no use.

And now that we have talked about Haki, let's talk about Swordsmanship, which is probably going to be the last aspect of my strength. I haven't started swordsmanship training either. This is not because I want to wait for something, rather, I need a sword to start my swordsmanship training, and currently, I have no sword.

While I do possess knowledge of various sword techniques and their training methods, unless I have a proper sword at my disposal and ingrain these sword techniques into my muscle memory, it would be of no use.

And honestly speaking, I have no clue how to make a proper and balanced sword. Sure, I can create small knives using the bones of my prey, but creating a knife and creating a Sword are two completely different things, so I have no other choice but to wait for a while for a sword.

'In any case, currently, I am only six years old, and nothing major will happen until I turn twelve, so I still have six years in my hand to plan out things, I think things will turn out okay by that time.' I thought to myself as I picked up the grilled rabbit meat and started to fill up my stomach.
