First Bounty

Reaching the black market, after some negotiating Adriel managed to sell both gold bars for a total of 15 million berries - rising his total wealth to a decent 15,872,000 berries.

After buying some supplies and basic navigation equipment for a total of 20,000 berries - he started asking around - looking for a ship for sale.

Soon a handful of buyers flocked to him, each with a different ship than the rest.

From rowers and fishing vessels to brigandines and even a galeon.

Tempted as he was to buy that galeon - he didn't have a crew to man it with so he instead decided to go for a 1 man sloop - a very commonly used ship sailors would use to have solo journeys around the globe back on earth.

The navigation part wouldn't be a problem, but Adriel didn't have any real knowledge is manning a ship - still if he learned anything from playing 'Sea Of Thieves' - are all the basic parts used to 'control' a ship - the anchor, the sail and the helm.

Knowing what they each did gave him confidence in sailing the sloop and he decided to figure out the little things on the go - he couldn't waste any more time here.

Negotiating 800,000 berries from the initial 950,000 he paid the now happy sailor and started to load all the basic supplies and amenities onto the sloop and proceeded to set sail. (A/N: ships be expensive fr)

[Time skip: 5 days]

On a ram-headed ship donning a picture of a skull wearing a straw hat and two crossbones behind it.

Six people were seen each in their world - playing, cooking, tanning, sleeping, etc...

Until a seagull dropped a bundle of wanted posters on the deck grabbing their attention and stopping them from activities.

Picking up the posters - a little figure starts going through them one by one until a familiar face shows up - making him stumble at what he just read.

[WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE]

[MOON D. ADRIEL "DEVIL EATER"]

"Ahhh - look guys... this is the person I've been telling you about" - rushing to the group Chopper stumbled while holding Adriels wanted poster.

"Aww Chopper - so he's the first friend you made... wow he looks scary." - an orange-haired girl pinched Chopper's cheek before taking a look at the poster.

"W-WHAT ONE HUNDRED MILLION BERRIES?? - I could buy so much with that." - money signs showing in her eyes she continued while holding the poster and smiling.

"Wow Luffy his bounty is even bigger than yours." - another big-nosed individual with a sling-shot at his hip said while looking at the poster in amazement.

"SHISHISHI - he must be strong, I wanna fight him - SHISHISHI." - a rubber boy wearing a straw hat happily said while laughing out loud.

"Huh? Chopper does he uses swords?" - a green-haired man wearing three swords on his hip asked curiously.

"I don't think so. He didn't have any weapons when I met him." - Chopper answered while scratching his hat, similar to Adriel.

"Hmph, not interested then." - Zoro moved back into his comfortable spot and started dozing off.

'This bastard's taking all of Nami's attention - I'll remember you Adriel' - a man smoking a cigarette silently thought while carrying a plate of food.

"NAMI-CHAN - THE FOOD IS READY." - dashing to the orange-haired girl Sanji screamed out in an enamoured tone.

On a small-sized sloop, Adriel was enjoying the sun while playing with astral constructs - trying to maintain them at a distance while throwing them, only having mild success - with them dissipating after only a few inches of leaving his hand.

'My biggest weakness right now is that I don't have any ranged attacks. If an opponent kept their distance and pelted me with ranged attacks, I'd have no way to effectively retaliate - eventually draining my AP and losing consciousness.'

Adriel was very aware of another one of his major weaknesses aside from his AP reserve and AP recovery.

So he was experimenting with his [Astral Form] trying to maintain his constructs while out of direct physical contact.

"Got a long way to go." - continuing his exercise he kept sailing towards the Mock Town where he'd have to replenish his supplies before heading to his main location.

Where Adriel planned to get a cook, a ship, and perhaps another useful 'marble'.

...

...

...

Arriving on Mock Town, Adriel prepared to fill his boat up with supplies and quickly set sail again - to the legendary island in the clouds - Skypiea.

Unfortunately, he made an error in his planning - as at the same time he set the anchor, another ship arrived.

From it was an extremely tall man, wearing an unbuttoned white shirt and rolled up sleeves - black curly hair and a few gaps between his teeth that showed whenever he opened his mouth to speak - the final antagonist in the series - Marshal D. Teach.

'Fuck, no chance I can take Blackbeard and his crew on right now - getting the fuck out of here is the play, at least they find out about my bounty and start chasing me, like what happened to the straw hats - but I can't until I find that fucking south bird so I can find the 'Knockup Stream'... '

After a quick monologue, Adriel got off the ship and started going into the same forest in which the straw hats previously found the bird.

A day later Adriel, returned with the exact bird he was looking for, stored in his [Cosmic Prison].

'Finally, now I can take a fucking shower.' - quickly stopping at an inn on his way back the decision to eat some grub and take a shower.

As luck would have it after he had finished his meal a group of thugs surrounded him looking to extort him of anything of value he might have.

The Bellamy Pirates - a bunch of tryhards with their only noticeable aspect being that their captain was defeated by Luffy with one punch - truly miserable.

"Look what we have here. Oi, who allowed you to eat here? This is our territory - the Bellamy Pirates. You better pay the entrance fee or we'll show you a good time - HIHIHI." - a tattooed blond-haired individual with his tongue out eerily said out loud before moving closer to Adriel.

'Out of all places, you got to show up here... For fucks sake another idiot.'

'Unfortunately for you, I'm not up for the classic villain encounter.' - slowly Adriel stood up from his table, and without saying anything he summoned his [Astral Form].

'Might at well try this I guess - though I don't have a name for them yet.' - appearing on his arms, two black-purple gauntlets covering up to his elbows, excluding a dangerous aura off them. (A/N: laughing arm from twin star exorcists - but for both hands and purple-black instead of red)

This instantly alerted Bellamy and his crew - and at that moment...they knew...they fucked up...

'A devil fruit user, and he seems strong... shit maybe I can salvage the...' - Bellamy thought to himself but before he could say anything, a fist hit him across the jaw - dislocating it and knocking him out on the spot.

"Captain..." - his crew shocked at how fast their captain was defeated, could only look in horror as the man started to approach them - abandoning any thought of fighting they turned around to escape.

Before they do so, however, multiple chains covered by a 'purple flame' appeared out of nowhere and easily restrained them - after which the man knocked them out one by one - making any bystander feel extreme pity for them.

'Maybe that was overkill... still, glad to know these two abilities are pretty effective - I won't know for sure until I test them against a stronger enemy.'

'I don't have a name for the gauntlets yet - they're still not perfect.

But the chains...hmmm... let's call them [Death Reaper Chains] with my [Blackout] they can 'seal' any devil fruit ability and increase my attack range. They don't completely cover my range reach flaw, but at least it can negate some of it - I'll accept less range for their sealing capabilities.' - after taking care of the fodder villains, Adriel decided to head back to his ship and continue his journey to Skypiea. (A/N: Obito's Demonic Statue Chains)

"Let's find that 'Knockup Stream' - haha."
