Ch 7 First Combat
'Game Start'
I appear in the alley next to the bar where I logged out it's day again. I want to keep an eye out for any revolutionary army members, I think talking to them might unlock some marine secrets achievements.
Just to try ill say Vegapunk aloud to see if anything happens.
"Vegapunk"
Nothing happens.
"Vegapunk scientist"
Still nothing, who knows maybe someone got the vegapunk achievement already or something. I start heading to the training ground to learn to fight, I've decided to learn brawling rather than swords or guns.
In the future, I plan to learn the Rokushiki not sure where I'm going to find someone to teach me, especially as I'm planning to oppose the Marines but I'll figure it out.
When I arrive at the training grounds I see a large open area filled with players striking posts and sparing with each other, off to the side is a buff shirtless NPC looking around, occasionally he stops to yell at some players to fix their forms.
I walk up to him and ask for some instructions.
"Looking for instructions ehh, watch me a second" he said
Then he threw a 1-2 punch and a quick side kick.
"Go practice that on the poles over there" he finished.
Skill Gained Brawling level 1
Pretty lackluster teaching but that's what you get on the starting island, I head over to the poles drawing stares with each step. I wind up my left fist to try to practice some jabs. I purposely hold back afraid of hurting my fist.
-3
A damage indicator fell up when the strike hit. I smile and repeat the strike this time not holding back.
-5
So it would take 20 hits to kill me huh, I'm quite weak. The punch didn't hurt as much as I was expecting giving me more courage for my next blow. Now I wind up my right arm for a strong right punch.
-10
That's more like it, start wailing into the post unleashing various punches I learnt watching Hajime no Ippo after 15 minutes of punches and kicks, I get an alert.
+1 STR
Oh, you can get stats through training, that does make sense from a One Piece standpoint. My brawling level is now 2 as well.
After spending some more time here training my stats now look like this:

I wanted to train longer but I'm just exhausted, I must be out of stamina. I find a place to sit down and drink some water, in the game players still need water and food to survive.
After my mini-training arc, it's finally time to hunt some wolves and level up, I travel into the forest and look for any wolves. After a brief search, I see one up ahead.
I try to approach it stealthily but it senses my coming and charges toward me. I aim to stop its charge with a kick to its face.
-8
The wolf bites my extended leg and deals 10 damage to me.
I lean down and deliver 3 punches to its body before it lets go and steps back to ready another attack.

The wolf charges yet again but this time I sidestep it and punt it square in the stomach, it gets knocked to the side and I rush up and start stomping it into the dirt.

-9
I get 4 stomps in before it tries to get some space but I rush it and punches it in the face one last time before it dies.
-12
The wolf lays still on the ground I pick it up it's not that heavy I sling it over my shoulder and check my leg, it has puncture teeth marks on it with a bit of blood but doesn't feel that sore. I only regained 2 Hp so far.
I find and kill another wolf, now with 2 wolves over my shoulder I start to head back, unfortunately, on my way back I come across 2 wolves at once I know my limits and start to run but when I turn there's also a wolf behind me.
Realizing the situation I drop the spoils of battle off my back and charge the solitary wolf, I kick it away the start hitting it from the side so I can watch the other 2 wolves at my back.

I take it to half health before the other 2 wolves charge, I dodge 1 but the other gets its teeth in my left leg and starts thrashing. I kneel on top of the thrashing wolf and beat into it while it can't escape.
The uninjured wolf bites my right elbow preventing me from attacking, I stand up, and the wolf beneath me backs off to lick its wounds. I manage to fling the wolf off my elbow and feel momentary happiness while the first wolf attacks again.
I punch it but it manages to bite me at the same time I finish it off with 3 more strikes and then turn to face the remaining 2 wolves one injured, one not. While I'm at half my remaining health and feeling exhausted.

I dump 10 points into VIT as I'm worried about getting too fatigued, then I charge once more.
I deliver a kick to the injured wolf deciding to finish that one off fist and follow the kick with a 1-2 punch and then dodge its companion's attack from the side.
-10
-15
-16
I ignore the attacking healthy wolf and finish off the injured wolf as it bites my leg again.
-13

-14
I turn covered in bite marks and blood to the last wolf. It charges forward and I try to dodge but fail it latches on to a big chunk of my thigh as I hit it with everything I got left until finally, the last wolf falls.
LVL UP
I look to my health to see I have 67 HP remaining, if I didn't have those points i'd be dead. I grabbed as many wolves I could carry which is 4 and quickly went back to town and sold the wolves getting me 2000 berries.
This sucks I have 50 INT yet 3 wolves almost killed me I feel like pre-time skip Usopp would have done better, I need to fight with my INT like Usopp. I decided its time to learn some crafting skills and make myself some upgrades.

First combat hope it works
keeping enemy health vague for ease
Mc just doesn't have the stats, skills or weapon to be easily taking on wolves solo, but he does have an INT advantage and will be using it now
