29 Whiskey Peak

Note: I will update Abel's stats after he trained with starting pack next chapter. As for OC's some of you seemed to like them while some of you seemed to feel they are unnecessary. I decided to keep them while off-screening their training and stuff. We will see them maybe once in 3-4 chapters to check on their progress but not in every chapter. İf you want me to develop them and give them important roles you can tell me in the comments and I will arrange it.

'' Open the pack''

' Pack opened. Obtained x3 supreme grade pill for each category. 10 training stimulation pill awarded.'

'Supreme grade pill: +10 stat from it's category.'

'Training stimulation pill: Each training stimulation pill makes training two times more effective for 12 hours.'

'System, you seem generous today. What's wrong? Are you sick?'

'...'

'' I am going to meditate. No one disturb me, Barbossa is in charge. Wake me up when we arrive Whiskey Peak.''

And thus Abel didn't care about his crew anymore as he closed his eyes and started meditating immediately. Abel realised that this route was the same one followed by straw hats. Even though Abel liked this because he could use his canon knowledge, he was also a little disappointed.

' I want to visit all the islands and become godlike! All routes. Nothing should escape my hands! How many routes are there? Seven? I will go all of them!'

Thus, Abel casually decided to conquer the grandline 7 times to see all routes. 'But let's mediate first.'

Abel took out a supreme grade strength pill and ate it happily. Barbossa and others sighed at their captains laziness as they followed the hellish training that Abel designed.

' What is even meditating?'

Thus 3 days has passed as Abel happily mediated on his comfy chair while the crew trained hard and went towards Whiskey Peak. Abel managed to eat most of the pills when he heard Bernard's cheerful voice.

'' BOSS, we arrived!''

'' Ok.''

'' Sign in''

'Congrulations host for signing in Whiskey Peak. Calculating the history and importance...Calculation completed: E grade. A bottle of whiskey awarded.'

Abel's face turned dark as he cursed at system.

' I see, your sickness has passed very quickly. I hope you become sick again!'

'...'

Abel's face turned even darker as he remembered his emberassment from Crocus. Abel glanced at Barbossa.

'' Barbossa, come here.''

'' ...Yes, captain?''

'' How is this whiskey?'' Abel asked not to repeat the same mistakes. Barbossa was confused but took the bottle and examined intently.

'' Captain, this whiskey is very famous in South Blue!''

'' Oh?''

'' İt is said to be the trashiest drink there.''

Abel who was pleasently surprised became furious again.

' Fuck you! Are you trying to mess with me!?'

'...'

Abel turned at Barbossa with a kind smile.

'' Ah... I don't like whiskey very much. Take it as a gift from your captain.'' Abel cooly waved his hand at Barbossa, acting very generous as he gave him the whiskey. Barbossa looked speechless.

' Captain... You still like spouting nonsense, after all.'

Afterwards they embarked on Whiskey Peak and was welcomed by a group of people that Abel knew were bounty hunters. Even though Baroque work agents were not here, this place was still filled with bounty hunters. Abel wanted to recruit Robin immediately but Robin didn't even join Crocodile yet. Abel still had a plan to recruit her though.

'' Oh, welcome dear pirate friends! We welcome you to our humble island. Today, let's party!''

' Activate Lie Detector.'

'Lie Detector Activated.'

'' We are not pirates. We are a travel group. I want to party but how do I know you have not any bad intentions?''

'' Ah, What do you mean? We like serving travelers in this town. Of course, we don't have any ill intentions towards you.'' The bounty hunter acted very surprised but his eyes glinted coldly. ' I see, you know somethings about this island. How can I let you leave now? What if you tell other people?'

'Liar detected.'

Abel looked at the bounty hunter and casually declared. '' Okay, die then.'' Before anyone could understand what happened the bounty hunter's neck was already in Abel's grasp. Bounty hunter looked pale as Abel's cold eyes gazed at him. Abel's crew also looked at him dumbfounded, except for Bernard who looked excited. Meanwile around 50 bounty hunters took out their guns and swords as they pointed them to Abel and his crew.

'' What are you doing!? Release Mark immediately!'' One of the bounty hunters shouted at Abel furiously, followed by others repeating the same things. Bernard doesn't seem to hear anything as he looked at Abel with bright eyes and a happy smile.

'' BOSS! Do we kill them?''

'' No. You kill them, I will go and train. This is your second mission in Dark Moon travel group. You must handle the small fries so I am not annoyed and disturbed. This is your most important job actually!'' Abel lectured his crew as they looked down.

' Can you not be so blunt? We have feelings too...'

Bounty hunters looked at Abel and his crew furiously. ' They are talking among themselves! They are not taking us seriously at all!' They didn't dare to shoot for now though, since their friend was in Abel's hand.

Abel looked at his crew who seemed deppressed and was confused. ' Small fries fight with small fries. What's wrong with this logic?'

'' Guys, don't worry. As we travel further, the small fries you fight will also be stronger. You will beat stronger and stronger small fries.'' Abel tried to encourage them a bit. 'Being depressed doesn't do anyone good.'

Crew looked at Abel with teary eyes. ' So, we will still be small fries, after all...' Bernard looked extremely motivated for some reason though.

'' BOSS! I will beat every small fry in our path. You can trust me!''

Abel looked at Bernard gratified. ' Ah... Bernard is the best.'

'' Stop the nonsense! Release Mark immediately!'' Bounty hunters started screaming.

'' Ok. You guys kill them all and conquer this island. I will go and train at the beach. Don't let anyone disrupt me. As long as a big shot doesn't come, no one is allowed to disrupt me. I will see you later, if you stay alive.'' Abel gave his orders, killed the bounty hunter and left with a ghost step to train on his own. Even though Abel would take responsibility and protect his crew if an overwhelming force attacked, he wouldn't babysit them. They needed their own struggles and fights to grow.

Crew looked at the direction Abel left with blank faces and then turned to see 50 furious bounty hunters rushing towards them. They cried inside as they prepared for battle.

Abel who arrived at the beach took out a training stimulation pill and started training his haki and physical abilities immediately. ' Not one minute of these pills shall be wasted!'

Abel decided to train in whiskey peak for various reasons. First reason was to use all of his pills and reach the best stats he can in a short time. After his pills was finished or when he met a bottleneck he would leave. Second reason was this place was very popular among newcomer rookie pirates with no names. These pirates were very suitable for his crew to fight, gain experience and grow strong.

'İf they don't risk their lifes at every island they can never keep up with me.' This was actually not Abel boasting. Even though the previous owner of this body was lazy and wasted time and potential, Abel was still extremely talented, had a cheat system and was working hard. His improvement speed was nearly matchless in this world. As for the bottlenecks he would face in the future. Abel would just find a suitable opponent and have a death match with him. Even though Abel didn't like risking his life if possible, it was impossible to be a top tier without risking his life. Thus Abel decided that as long as winning chance was not lower than %40 he would give it a go and escape if it is lower.

2 week passed by as Abel trained in his sword arts, haki and ate the pills. After training 16 hours a day for 2 weeks Abel was very tired and left the corner he is in to go to a bar. Abel didn't see any pirate in the island and was satisfied. He ordered a drink and asked the owner some questions.

'' Hey, I haven't seen any pirates around here. They were pretty common in the past. What happened recently?''

'' Ah... You must be a newcomer. This island has been occupied by some adventurers called Dark Moon or something. Even though their number is small, they are very active. None of the newcomer pirates can enter anymore. Their Captain hasn't even appeared once, so everyone is kind of afraid of them. They even beat a pirate with 20 million berries.''

'Oh... Beat a pirate with 20 million? How did these guys do it. They are not that useless....'

''Oh, Their captain should be someone very awesome. Whatever give me a newspaper.''

After Abel praised himself to the unsuspecting barmen he took a newspaper and started reading it. Abel didn't find any interesting information that derives from canon except for a news regarding Shanks fighting off Big Mom and obtaining his first territory in new world. ' Seems like he will become an emperor even sooner this time.'

'' Hey, young man, stop reading the newspaper. Dark Moon's captain will finally appear it seems. You shouldn't miss it.''

'' What? Why do you think so?'' Abel was a little confused. 'Why would I appear now?'

'' Well, these guys from Dark Moon got defeated by a young blonde man.''

'' Are their lifes in danger?''

'' Doesn't seem so''

'Well, I can't be bothered then.'

'' Okay, forget about them, give me another bottle of beer. Who is that young man anyway?''

'' Not sure, should be a young rookie. I heard he was a prince exiled from his country because he was so handsome. He calls himself the most handsome man in the world. Such an arrogont man.'' Barman said with a despising tone.

' Most handsome man in the world?'

'' Hey, young man, where are you going?''

'' I will go take a look.''
