Goals are nice, but I'm still surrounded by Sea Kings!

"Yes, please open the Starter Pack (Legendary)." As soon as she said that, the blue screen in front of her changed into an animation of a large wrapped present being opened with a bang. Confetti blew out of the box when the gift was opened. Then the screen faded back to blue, and a detailed list of 5 items appeared.

Kaze Kaze no mi (modified), also known as the Wind Wind Devil Fruit. This is a Logia type devil fruit chosen to give you added protection in this dangerous world. The uses of this fruit are very versatile, only limited by your imagination and your level of mastery. It has been modified to eliminate all negative side effects.

Fidelius Charm (MAX) - A very powerful spell from the world of Harry Potter. Its usage has been turned into a skill and does not require one to be a wizard to cast. Instead of magic, the cost is the stamina of the caster. The charm involves concealing information within the soul of a living person. The person, or Secret Keeper, is therefore the only one able to reveal the information to others. Even those who previously knew will forget if the Secret Keeper does not re-tell them the information after the charm is cast. Using this skill will help you to hide your future Utopian Kingdom.

Shelter Lottery Ticket (Rare) - When the lotto ticket is ripped, a wheel will appear and start to spin. On the wheel are different types of shelter you could win when the wheel stops spinning. The level of ticket (i.e., Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, or Legendary) will determine the quality of the shelter choices on the wheel.

Basic Food Supply Kit (Common) - All living beings must eat, and in the One Piece world, it's even more important as what you eat translates almost directly into how strong you end up being. Each food supply kit provides an infinite supply of breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals. Once a meal is removed, it will reappear in the kit after 24 hours. The level of the ticket determines the quality of the meals provided. Warning... please keep the kit inside your inventory to preserve the temperature and freshness of the meals. Time is frozen inside your inventory.

100 Billion Berries - You have been provided with starting funds to help you adjust to your new world. Currency can be used to buy from the store tab or be removed from the inventory to purchase items in the wider world.

Miyuki was shocked at how perfect the items in the Starter Pack fit in with her newly stated life goals. "When you said you would help me accomplish my goals, I guess I didn't realize how directly you would do so. These 5 things are perfect as starting items." She realized that she was still lying flat on the sandy seabed, looking up at the blue screen and spying the translucent bubble beyond it. And of course, the big scary Sea Kings swimming beyond that....no idea how JARVIS was able to keep distracting her from the Sea Kings, she smiled wryly. She decided it was at least time to sit up so she could look about her as far as the pendant of her light could reach. She pushed herself up, and the screen followed her up and kept in front of her eyes.

"Miyuki, if you touch each item on the list, it will appear in your inventory." JARVIS said calmy. She followed his instructions and then touched the inventory tab to view the items. The screen morphed into a grid that showed her items pictorially in boxes. There was a search bar on the top right, like Google, so once her inventory began to be more cluttered, she'd be able to search for a specific item. The first item was the Devil Fruit, Kaze Kaze no mi, it looked like a mutated green pear with strange symbols. The name of the item was written at the top of the box, and the number 1 was listed on the bottom right, indicating how many of that item was in that box. "If you touch the name of the item, it will give you the items' description, but if you double-click, it will ask if you want to use the item." She double-clicked, and the pop-up appeared as expected. She clicked 'Yes', and the pear appeared in her hand. She looked at it warily for a minute, then shrugged and took a bite. It tasted sweet?

"JARVIS, I thought a Devil Fruit was supposed to taste awful?" She continued to eat the pear, and a strange warmth seemed to fill her. Was that the power of the fruit?

"Remember the description of the fruit stated, 'It has been modified to eliminate all negative side effects.' The taste was one of those side effects." You could almost hear a 'weren't you paying attention' tone in his voice. She finished the fruit and then checked the next box in the inventory. It was a scroll labeled Fidelius Charm. She double-clicked, and the scroll appeared in her hand. When she started to unroll it, the scroll turned into small specks of light and entered her body. She quickly switched to the Status tab and saw a new skill appear. It was listed under Unique Skills. I guess no one else could use this charm in the One Piece world. She went back to the inventory tab but decided to skip the next box as it showed a ticket with the words 'Shelter Lottery Ticket' in beautiful calligraphy across the front of it. She wasn't sure if she wanted to place her shelter at her current location. That was a big decision as that would be the future location of her Utopian Kingdom. The next three boxes seemed to be part of a whole...all three showed a picnic basket with an infinity symbol in the bottom right. Each box was labeled 'Basic Food Supply Kit' but had an additional identifier of either breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Out of curiosity of what might be considered a common breakfast, she clicked once to get a description - 2 scrambled chicken eggs, 2 slices of crispy bacon, one slice of buttered rye toast, and one glass of orange juice. Well, it wasn't Belgian Waffles or Eggs Benedict, but it'd do. Too bad it didn't include a cup of tea...she loved tea in the morning. She skipped over checking the other meals...let it be a surprise for now. The last box showed a picture of the Bellies symbol... a capital B with the vertical line through it... the number was 100 billion Bellies. That was so much money! She sighed, happy with the items she had received.

"JARVIS, how do I close the screen? I think I need to decide what I'm going to do next and pause on any more exploration of the system." She again glanced at the Sea Kings....she was actually starting to get used to them, but she still wanted to be somewhere away from them.

"Just think or say 'close system', and the screen will disappear." He said.

"Close system," she stated firmly as she pushed herself to her feet. The screen blinked out, and she was left standing there looking around while she curled her bare toes into the sand at her feet. "Okay, where should I go?"
