12 Chapter 12 - Creating a sword and a new ability.
(A/N: Hello everyone. Since I already had this chapter on the way, I decided to just complete it and post it. I probably won't post anymore for a few days, I'm sorry. Anyways, enjoy the chapter!)
--------------------------------------------------------------
< Cain's POV >
After my little ceremony naming the ship, I decided to go looking for my first mate, Mihawk. 'If I can get him to join my crew, I'll instatly become a big name around the world... That'll probably help me get some other crew members.' I thought while looking at the beautiful blue sea ahead of me and my ship.
I had just left the Karai Bari Island when I heard Rhea's voice in my head, she reminded me of something that I had asked her.
{Cain, Luffy has just started his adventure and will meet with Zoro in 2 days} (A/N: IDK how much time passed since Luffy left Foosha Village to when he met Zoro so I'll just set it to 2 days)
'Alright, thank you for reminding me Rhea.' I had asked her to remind me of important events that will happen from the main story so that I know how the timeline is going. Even though I will fuck the timeline a LOT, there are some things that I still wish to keep intact. One of those things is Zoro being recruited by Luffy. Honestly, Zoro is my favorite Straw Hat, he's just a badass fucking character and I think that he works well with Luffy by his side.
That got me thinking though... 'If I get Mihawk now, when they go to Sanji's restaurant he won't appear there and utterly destroy Zoro, consequently there won't be that iconic scene of Zoro showing his determination and calling Luffy the Pirate King. Maybe if that event doesn't happen, the war doesn't happen... Uhh fuck it all. If there is a war, great! If there isn't, I'll just make sure that Whitebeard and Ace are doing OK and that's it.'
There's an infinite amount of One Piece universes out there so it's fine if I just ruin one... I think so at least. Since I remember Rhea saying that I could do whatever I wanted, I'll do just that! Time to find the Greatest Swordsman in the World!
"Rhea, could you please inform me of Mihawk's location?" I asked her out loud since I'm alone anyways.
{Yes. Dracule Mihawk is currently on the first half of the Grand Line, Paradise. He is near Don Krieg's fleet and should arrive in about 4 hours. He will then destroy his fleet which will cause the Krieg Pirates to return to the East Blue Sea in a pitiful state.}
'Ohh I remember that... Mihawk is the reason that Don Krieg returned to East Blue and went to Baratie. I'll destroy his fleet in Mihawk's place to try and get his atention and challenge him.' I thought while doing some calculations on my mind to see how long it would take to arrive where they were. I estimated that it would take about 10 hours at the Pearl's max speed to enter the Grand Line and arrive at Mihawk's position. The Pearl is insanely fast, but it's not The Flash... But I am also not your average pirate.
I slowed time in the whole universe by 90% but for me, my ship and the ocean. That way, I can reach Mihawk's location in 1 real time hour or 10 hours for me. I'll then wait for him to be near Krieg's fleet to go there and destroy the Krieg Pirates with a powerful sword strike. But that reminds me, I don't have a sword and neither do I know how to use one, but that can easily be fixed.
Thinking about what sword I should use, I thought about making my own...
I visualized a scimitar like sword in my head and started editing it. I made it 35' long due to my height (IDK SJW's height so I'll make him a solid [6'8''] to fit One Piece's world a little more, I don't want him to be HUGE like Kaido but also don't want him to be a midget.), I also added an inscription in japanese on the left side of the blade that said "May the souls reaped by this sword find peace in the afterlife", pretty corny but I like it. The sword's blade had a deep red color with a black outline and was incredibly sharp. (IMAGE HERE)
The sword's handle was a masterpiece. It had intricate dragon drawings on it with a beautiful gem in the middle of the guard. This jewel was my newest invention, The All-Energy Gem! (IMAGE HERE OF BOTH)
This little stone was the perfect conductor of any and all types of energy that I could possibly use. So if I wanted to, I don't know, infuse my sword with some Electric Chakra nature, it would work perfectly, I'd be like Sasuke channeling his Chidori through the Kusanagi. The Jewel itself looked like a black, 18x18mm gem with 8 sides. The gem was absolutely stunning and if you looked deep into it, you could honestly see a universe with bright stars and nebulas inside it. That's a little effect that I added to it...
As I finished making those changes, I materialized the sword in my hands and thought of a name for it. "Hmm, I've never been good at naming... AH! I've always been fascinated by mythologies and remember that there was a sword owned by Vishnu in the Hindu Mythology. The sword's name was Nandaka, the Protector of The Universe's sword.
Due to the nice name and history, I decided that my new sword would be called Nandaka from now on. I then held it in my hands and started my little ceremony saying, "From now on, you will be know as Nandaka, the destroyer of ignorance and bringer of wisdom."
I decided to make the sword indestructible, because if it was destroyed in the middle of combat it would be quite bothersome. I also added an enchantment that made it so that a wound made by this sword could not be healed unless I wanted it to be. Pretty strong if I do say so myself...
"Now that the sword part is done, it's time to know how to use it!" I said as I determined that it would be WAAAY easier to just use my 'Instant Mastery' ability on this sword. I remember that I asked Rhea to lock this ability to make this world more challenging and I'm glad I did, but I honestly don't want to train my sword skills for literal years to reach Mihawk's level. After asking Rhea to unlock the ability, I activated it and decided to become a master of all swords, that includes katanas, scimitars, longswords, daggers and everything in between. I then locked the ability once again after doing that.
Now I only needed to train to hone my battle instincts and to acquire experience. These were major factors on a battle and could be just as important as skill, so I will train them later.
'This feels great... It's like I was born to wield a sword.' The moment I mastered the swords arts, Nandaka literally shone and I was forced to close my eyes to not become blind. It gave me quite a big scare to be honest, but the scare lasted for less than a millisecond.
After the bright light that Nandaka was emitting died out, I felt a deep connection with my sword, as if my it was a part of my very soul. I felt like I had just found my long lost twin brother and finally had been reunited. It seemed that this sword had accepted me as it's owner and master.
"Everything is set now! Wait, I need a place to store my masterpice of a sword; I don't want to walk aroud with a scabbard tied to my hip so I guess there's only one option left..." I spoke with myself and said this to Rhea not long after, "Rhea would you please create an ability called 'Absolute Space Manipulation' that gives me the power to manipulate space itself. That involves but is not limited to having pocket universes and dimensions, teleporting, creating warmholes and warp-gates, locking space around an area to make it impossible to leave, etc.'
{Ability created Cain. Abilities 'Perfect Teleportation' and 'Space Breathing' have been erased since they are now part of 'Absolute Space Manipulation'.}
{Would you like to fuse 'Absolute Space Manipulation' with 'Absolute Time Manipulation'?}
'What would I gain from fusing those two Rhea?' I asked her in my mind since I knew that if these 2 abilities fused I'd get something insanely powerful.
{If you fuse these two abilities they will fuse and evolve into a rank (???) ability called 'Meta Space-Time Manipulation'. This makes it so that you can manipulate the space-time continuum of every reality, whether it be a higher dimension, a parallel universe, a dream world, etc. You will be able to bend, distort, and alter the very fabric of space and time anywhere and everywhere to your desire, even locations where time and space may not even exist.
Basically, if you fuse this ability you will be able to create/destroy/erase anything, manipulate entire dimensions and realities, manipulate any and all types of matter, have control over the fundamental forces of the universe (gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak), etc. But BE CAREFUL, this ability can have devastating and possibly multiverse destroying repercussions if used carelessly.}
"Okay, what in the cosmic fuck?! This ability is absolutely insane... I'd be able to fundamentally do anything, be it teleport to another universe, reality, timeline or plane of existence with a mere thought; erase or create whole entire multiverses, timelines and realities; stop time across diferent planes and universes; or even manipulate someone's dream space, in other words, mess with someone's dream. If I wanted to I could simply teleport this world to the middle of the MCU universe just like that" I said while snapping my fingers, picturing myself as a Thanos of some sort... I was absolutely shocked at the ability's description. After getting back to reality, I answered Rhea.
'Honestly, I wonder how the fuck God allowed me to have this power, guess I'll have to find out later. Even though he said I couldn't create Omnipotence, with my 'Meta Ability Creation' I basically am all-powerful so I don't know what he was thinking. He probably knew this anyway because He is Omniscient so... Meh, I'll think about that later. Please Rhea, fuse the fuck out of the them for me.'
{Abilities 'Absolute Space Manipulation' and 'Absolute Time Manipulation' fused and evolved into 'Meta Space-Time Manipulation'}
{Abilities 'Omni-versal Leap', 'Creation', 'Erase', 'Perfect Restore' and 'Perfect Thermal Resistance' have been erased since they are now part of 'Meta Space-Time Manipulation'.}
"Perfect, thank you Rhea... That reminds me, show me my stats please, I haven't seen them in a while."

'Holy mother of all there is... I'm borderline a God if I include my abilities. My physical abilites have been upgraded quite nicely, must've been from the training on the island. With these stats, If I was guaranteed to have Mihawk on my crew before, now it has become literally impossible for him not to join... But wait, what the fuck is that?' I thought while in my dazed like state.
'Rhea, would you mind explaining to me why my name has changed, and why does it have the legendary 'D.'?' I asked Rhea because, well, my name is my name so changing it all of a sudden is quite weird...
{Of course Cain. I have changed your name to having a 'D.' while in this world because, since you will play a big part in this world's history, I thought it would be nice for you to have the mysterious 'Will of D.' and the 'D.' in your name. If you don't want it, I can remove it. I am sorry for not asking for your permission first.} Rhea responded with a kind of guilty voice.
'It's quite alright, Rhea. I appreaciate you changing my name since it's cooler and more fitting for this world like this. Just make sure that next time, you warn me before doing such things...' I asked her in my mind with a chuckle.
{I am glad you liked it and you can rest assured that I will ask you before next time.} She responded with a happy tone of voice now...
'Thank you.' I said with a little smile on my face from hearing her voice this happy... Anyway, after this little exchange of words between me and Rhea, I opened a portal in front of me to a pocket dimension that I had just made. It was a basic, empty, black void where I could store stuff.
The reason why I had created 'Absolute Space Manipulation' was for this, to have a storage place, an inventory of some sort. This dimension that I created is quite big and it has no concept of time, meaning that time simply doesn't exist there unless I want it to. Essentialy, if I store a clock there and wait 1 million years outside, then remove it from there, the time would still be the exact same because literally no time would have passed for it. (Inventory space in the comments.)
I then stored my beautiful sword inside this dimension and closed it. I can open this dimension wherever and whenever I want with a simple thought and I can store anything inside it, be it a living being or an item. To retrieve something from inside it, I just needed to will it to appear and it would appear; to store something inside I just need to open a portal there and physically store it, or just teleport whatever I want to that dimension. Since I have complete control over the very idea of 'Space-Time', teleporting something from and to my dimension is a very simple task.
I then created the most confortable bed in all of creation in front of me, and yes, I am going to sleep outdoors because this scenery is very nice and relaxing so... After laying down on my bed and almost dissolving myself on this perfect matress, I said while looking at the bright blue sky, "Only 9 hours and 39 minutes left for me to have my first real battle ever... This is exhilarating!" One of the perks of having space-time control was that I had some sort of clock inside my head. This made it so that I always knew the exact time, down to the nanosecond, of where I currently am.
Now, you might ask, "Cain, why don't you just teleport there since you have such a ridiculous ability?", and I understand and agree with your point, but why I will not do that is very simple; First: I want to sleep a little bit since I haven't slept for about 3 months because my body doesn't need rest, but I love sleeping so I do it occasionally. Second: I want to take some time reaching there for me to train a little bit after I wake up. Third and final reason: Because I don't want to. I thought while trying to predict my future readers' comments...
