Ch 05 - New Body

As I digress, the woman that If I remember correctly is called Porche continues talking "H-he k-killed b-boss, P-please sir I want to be the one to e-end him".

As I process what she just requested I widen my eyes slightly but then nod my head in understanding.

----------

*Splash*

That was the sound of a large corpse being tossed over a cliff into the water.

After Porche asked me to let her finish off the long-armed giant I acquiesced and let her have her revenge.

Which she did by repeatedly bashing in his skull with the end of her baton over and over again until there was nothing, but bloody pulp left, this display of brutality honestly made me a bit wary and disgusted of this girl; but I understand that she is venting.

I remember that in the anime she used to always support and look after that foxy guy whenever anyone said something that depressed him.

I don't really know their backstory and why she is so loyal to him but its clear as day now to me that something important must have happened between them in order for it to be this intense.

Anyways, now that the giant disfigured corpse of the long-armed man is gone from our view all that's left in its place is two very awkward people standing there with another rotting corpse laying not far away from them.

Therefore, in order to get things moving along I choose to say something first "*cough*, well miss I'm glad you got your revenge for your friend there, but if you would be so kind as to point me in the direction of the closest town?"

As she hears this, she stares at me unblinkingly for a bit before replying "O-oh yeah, yeah there is a small town in that direction" as she points to her right.

As I see this, I nod my head and start heading in that direction, leaving her there with a simple "thanks".

As I get out of range of her sight I quickly go into a nearby bush and once again puke my guts out, all of this bloodshed in the first five minutes of me being awake is really getting to me.

I then lay my back on a tree and start to think of what just transpired and the crazy situation that I found myself in.

"Hua, well I was just an associate to murder… and most importantly I somehow got transmigrated into the One Piece world. I somehow have the powers of the slow-slow fruit, which to be honest is not all that bad of a fruit, and I'm sure that the possibilities are immense with this fruit… I highly doubt that the previous owner did all that much to push the limits of his powers. If I remember correctly, he was much busier and interested in building worthless machines that can only get one so far and increasing his pirate groups numbers instead of training to be strong individually."

As I say this, it quickly reminds me that I'm actually not in my own body, which then leads me to patting myself all over the place in order to check if everything is as it should be and thankfully everything is alright.

Compared to my previous body I seem to be more muscular with a somewhat lean figure, I also seem to be pretty young according to my skin texture, probably about 15 or 16 if I were to guess, which is a bit younger than I was in the past, which is 23.

"I seem to be Caucasian with black hair, and I am not sure of what my eye color is, I'll look into it later... I also seem to be a bit tall for someone so young (6 feet tall) but in this world that wouldn't apply. Oh, and look at that! I seem to have also grown a bit down there! I also appear to be human, at least I don't see anything out of place".

As I'm done examining myself, I'm pretty content with my body, I believe myself to be a human and not something else human looking like the three-eyed clans' people or something.

All I need to know now is how I got into this body or if I can't find that out then what this bodies real identity is, after all I seem to be suffering from selective amnesia and unfortunately my name is one of many victims and I don't think it will come back anytime soon, if ever. Also, it would be good if this body already has one, if only to clear my conscience a bit, I will prefer to use it.

Again, I'm not sure if I died and somehow stole this guy's body but that seems to be a recurring theme in Isekai so I wouldn't be too surprised if that is what happened, "heh, or maybe this guy died from the shit taste of the devil fruit and had a heart attack or something and my soul replaced his, I don't know."

Anyways now that I am content with the skin that I'm currently wearing it's time to check the most important aspect of this body for this world, the devil fruit powers.
