Drum Kingdom

POV - Adriel

It's cold, it's really FUCKING COLD. How Luffy managed to carry Nami in this is beyond me, but then again being the main character has its perks.

It wouldn't be much of a problem if I could put that winter gear I supposedly got from that fairy.

There's only a small big MASSIVE problem...

Fucking rabbits are chasing me, and from what I remember from the anime even a little bunny has enough power to bite clean through a tree. Mind you, they're no bunnies, they're definitely the parents, the pack, or maybe the entire family tree.

"FUCKING LONG-EARED FUCKS. Just wait till I get my power online, I'll uproot your whole civilization from the ground up." - running as fast as I could I quickly realized what all those people were talking about when they said; 'even the house-pets could end your life in a world like One Piece'.

Well if you think I'm regretting my choice you'd be very wrong. This is more exhilarating than everything I could have ever done back on Earth, I mean yeah it's fucking dangerous and if these 'Looney Tunes' shitbags catch me I'm dead - but, I'd be lying if I said I'm not having fun.

"RARGG"

"ROARR...." - as if to remember me of their presence the rabid rabbits started to growl as if I had taken a shit in their bed.

...

How was I supposed to know that discount Athena wannabe would teleport me in the middle of their pack, I mean they looked like stones at first, so I thought, before I changed into those winter clothes might as well take a leak - right?

Yeah... so I might or might not have let the turbojet spray right on one of their heads.

My bad next time I'll know...

"FUCK OFF I SAID SORRY ALREADY" - I didn't, just swore at them in 3 different languages but I thought they wouldn't understand what I said so might as well...

Well, apparently animals understand intent, more so semi-intelligent ones that can crush trees with their jaws.

Wait, I can see something in the distance.

Look's like...light and smoke, and some buildings. A village maybe?

They should also have some guards - perfect.

While running towards the just discovered village, I decided to pass by some trees grabbing some branches as I go, making a nice bundle of leaves and twigs.

Then right before I reach the gate I gave my best 'rabid rabbit' impression and dropped down in the snow covering most of my body with that branch bundle.

"ROAAHHR" - might go mute after that one or drink all 10 litres of water.

Without surprise, I hear shouting behind the gate as they are quickly opened and what looks like 10 guards intercept the 'bugs bunnies'. After having some time to catch a breather I estimated about 20-30 'bunnies'.

No doubt they'll quickly overrun the guards.

But, I'll at least have enough time to use that power ticket - maybe get a cool power like lightning or magma, a nice GG EZ NOOBS.

"AHHHGH..." - one of the guards falls as 3 bunnies attack him and tear him to literal pieces.

I felt someone swear at me, and how my bad karma increased, but currently that was the least of my worries. Survival was.

Right...quickly taking the ticket out from the bag, I rip it in half and wait, I mean how else do you use a ticket right? If going cinema every month taught me something is how to use a ticket...

After what felt like an eternity(but only 5 seconds in real-time), the world seemed to freeze, and in front of me, a roulette appeared with words that keep changing on it - weird how it says generator but it's a roulette!?

"..." - wait is that one from Spide...

"Whatever, SPIN" - giving the strongest pull my body allowed, I start praying in 3 languages (A/N: and by praying he means saying 'make me god' in 3 languages...he doesn't know how to pray) and await my power.

...

[CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PULLED "ASTRAL TRAPPING"]

"Huh?? What the fuck is astral trapping? I need something powerful, give me Heat Vision or Super Strength or Time Control. The fuck am I gonna do with astral trapping...FUCK" - while I reflected on how Limbo would feel for all eternity, the power was being transmitted directly to what felt like my soul. I quickly got a basic description and understanding of what I could do.

I got on my knees and gave a quick bow to the sky and to the fairy Althea for giving me the best power ever (A/N: according to him... - there are definitely stronger powers out there)

'Interesting, if I got this straight this 'Astral Trapping' might be more than it first seems'

'Essentially - with this, imagination is the only limiting factor.

But if Devil Fruits and Haki as theorized by most to have a soul or psychic connection to a user, that means I could potentially RAIL any haki or devil fruit user while empowering myself and my allies.

'Hmm...maybe just maybe devil fruit extraction could be a real thing...'

'Exciting, I already have some thoughts on how I can complete my set goal, and make my pirate crew.

I'm not about to spend eternity in limbo or become a marine, I prefer freedom.

...

As soon as all the basic knowledge about Astral Trapping was transmitted and assimilated by me, time went back to normal.

And I sprang into action, after getting a basic rundown of my power, I quickly understood, that most of my abilities were locked away per se, not only because I didn't have the prerequisite requirements for their use - Soul Strength, Endurance, and Astral Force, but also because for most abilities I need a connection to the Astral Plane - an Astral Link.

With that said, currently, I have two abilities over which I have relatively free control - Anti-Psychic Presence and Astral Solidification.

The former would provide no use in my current situation, but with the latter, I could make it work.

[Astral Solidification - user can solidify or give solid-like properties to astral force with the level of solidity going from loose jelly to metal-like hardness or beyond]

Astral force is a similar concept to Mana, Chakra, or Ki, essentially it's a type of energy that can be harnessed, granted currently I have a very limited amount of astral force, but it should be enough for short time use.

Currently, the village guards are being overrun, and while the rabbits are taking casualties, the guards aren't doing much better.

It's a widely known fact that rabbits are some of the most fearful animals, even scared by their own shadow on occasions.

That said, don't know how applicable that is to man-eating beasts the size of hippos but no matter how much you change on the outside, your inside will always remain the same - that logic has yet to fail me.

All I needed was one good attack to apply an intimidation effect, no matter how powerful, when faced with a true predator, the prey will always run.

And what's something rabbits fear the most?

"Astral Form - White Tiger Domination Claw" - from Adriel's right hand a giant 5-meter long tiger paw manifested instantly reaching the main skirmish and ending 5 rabbits while injuring another 6, creating a huge shockwave scaring the remaining ones away and terrifying the last 6 guards alive.

As soon as the attack landed Adriel completely fainted with no chance of waking up anytime soon.
