Chapter 6 Village

For a month Cross practiced mastering the power of space. And now he can take books or store things. His body also grew slightly stronger. Cross felt the power of space was not only to store things but when he tried that power to attack or defend the power disappeared.

'Is this my limit? It seems like my current body is unable to withstand all the power of space. But if my body is able to withstand all of the burdens then this strength must be very strong. I can't wait to see the full power hehehe. ' Cross thought with enthusiasm.

Then Cross wanted to train soru because with this technique if he fought a strong enemy he could still escape. After completing his regular training he began to learn to use soru. One week has passed but there is no development at all. Next week, he managed to use soru but could not control it and hit a tree. 'Damn it! If my body is untrained I must be dying now. ' Cross said irritably.

Many of the trees around the house were collapsed because of being hit by Cross's body. Surprisingly Cross body has a fairly high recovery. After knowing his recovery ability, Cross worked harder to master soru. Every day his body would be full of wounds but the next day his wound had healed.

After training suddenly Cross got the idea of improving soru. The idea is that the wind is added with soru. 'Hmmm, can my body hold the burden?' That's what Cross is thinking right now. Even now Cross hasn't mastered his logia body. Sometimes when he fails to do soru and is thrown towards the tree his body will pass through a tree as the wind. But the more it fails, the body does not become wind and crashes into a tree.

"Even though I'm now in the world of One Piece, but I have never talked to anyone. If I think about it, my life is quite sad too. * Haa * I WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE !!! I don't want to meet someone and my speech will stutter. When I'm still an army even though I'm alone on a mission but I can still get in touch with headquarters. " Cross said while looking at the sky and with an unstable mood.

It's been two months since Cross started practicing. Soru technique is much better. Cross stopped the soru experiment. He will focus on training to turn his body into the wind. ' I will start practicing so that my body can turn into the wind. '

And three months have passed. Cross had succeeded in mastering the basic soru and his wind power was also much better. Now he can make ten wind arrows to attack someone. 'I will go to the village after my business is over I will try my soru experiment again.' That way he goes to sleep because tomorrow he will go to the village of Rodz.

In the morning Cross wake up and go to the kitchen to eat. When he finished eating he got ready to go to the nearest village. Because he must at least know where he is now. 'From my memory, if it's not wrong then it takes six hours to walk from home to the village.' Cross thought annoyed because this body was too weak. If at this time he was in his former body, it would only take about one hour to run to the village. After running for two hours he finally arrived at the village of Rodz. Cross walks to the fruit seller and wants to ask something.

"Old man, I want to buy five apples," Cross said to the fruit seller.

"Don't call me old man !!!" The seller answers emotionally.

"Don't be angry if you're angry means you're an old man," Cross answered while scratching his head.

"Yes you're right, what else do you want to buy?" the old man answered while gritting his teeth.

"That's all," Cross answered casually

"All fifty berries" give five apples that have been packed to Cross.

Cross gave the seller three hundred berries. The seller was confused and asked Cross "Why did you give me three hundred berries? You can give me a hundred berries and I'll return fifty berries. And a hundred berries are more than enough. Can't you count?"

"How rude you are, old man, I just want to know the latest information so I give you more," Cross replied because he was seen as someone who could not count.

"Hoooh, fine * clear his throat * This kingdom is called Deox and is the farthest island from Loguetown. It seems like there is a royal member who was expelled from the palace and he lives in the port area. Ah and also two noble families are heating up. That's all I know" the old man explained.

'Driven out? It's really a chaotic world that even drives away your own family. '

"Why can that person be kicked out?" Cross asked curiously.

"Hmmm, if I'm not mistaken, because that person can't be a swordsman. And it looks like their life is now difficult" replied the old man with compassion.

"Hmm? The kingdom expelled more than 1 person?" Asked Cross.

"Yes, they are mother and child. Initially, only the child was expelled, but his mother left the palace too. You only need five minutes to walk from here if you want to see them." The old man then told them where they lived.

"Alright, thank you for the information." Cross went from that place to the port. Before he left suddenly there was a noise.

'Pirate?' Cross thought.

"Oh someone is fighting." The old man said casually.

"Are they pirates?" Cross asked.

"I don't think so. Pirates rarely go to this village. Most of them are afraid of the royal soldiers." The old man answered while trying to remember something.

"I think the last pirate came here was three years ago." Said the old man.

"Okay then I'll leave now," Cross said to the old man.

'This kingdom is quite strong because it can drive out pirates. Those who were expelled may be strong too even though they are not swordsmen, maybe snipers or fighters hehehe'
