*CLANK~ CLANK~*
I got up and started twisting my muscles.
'I don't have much strength, but the strength I have will be enough to get rid of these handcuffs.
Gripping the cuff rings, I tugged on them tightly.
*CRAAACK~ *
The metal of the handcuffs snapped like torn paper.
Everyone that!!!"
From the oldest to the youngest, everyone had their mouths open unusually.
"What is it? Haven't you guys ever seen anything like that?"
"...."
"Anyone out there want to remove your chains too?"
It was almost instantaneous after I said all the people gathered around me, asking me to remove their chains.
"Ok, calm down..."
So I started breaking the handcuffs.
After I finished, I could see the happiness on their faces.
All:"We are Free!!!! FREE..."
"Not yet, not until we get rid of the mermen will anyone be totally free."
For a moment everyone was silent
"You guys stay here... I'll take care of the merfolk."
*TOC~ TOC~*
Shortly after finishing my words, footsteps were heard coming from outside.
*BANG!!!*
The door opened, as if someone had kicked it.
I saw a big man with a fierce muscular stature enter.
Triton Achi:"But what the hell is going on here?"
mAfter asking, he looked at people and then at me.
mTriton Achi:"How did you get loose."
Then he looked at the broken handcuffs on the floor.
Triton Achi:"Who broke the chains!!! Say otherwise I'll kill everyone here."
"Hahaha~ you kill everyone? Don't make me laugh."
Triton Achi:"You brat..."
"I was the one who released them! So what are you going to do to me?"
Triton Achi:"Kill you..."
In the few seconds I was talking to Merfolk, I used the [Cell of Absorption] ability to acquire its abilities.
From my vantage point, my eyes scanned the merman cells absorbing and assimilating them.
Having assimilated them, a new kind of strength invaded my body.
The muscles of the body began to get more detailed and tight.
My body grew two inches taller, only one person noticed my change.

I kept looking at Triton and when he attacked me.
I moved, fast enough to dodge his attack.
Then I punched him in the stomach.
Triton Achi:"*Aaargh* -Son of a bitch"
Merman glared at me with eyes filled with anger as he moved again to attack me.
Rouge: "What beautiful eyes..."
For a moment I listened to Rouge's words.
'What the hell is going on with my eyes.'
I'm not dumb, Rouge had seen my normal eyes, she was only surprised after I used the absorption cell ability.
Merman starts slamming his fist at me fiercely as I dodge.
I try to keep my distance, and I don't get too close to the other prisoners either.
They could get hurt if Merman attacks them.
'I don't have Kamiya's abilities? So why am I having to suffer?'
I thought about how to use Kamiya's abilities, and realized how easy it was to use.

[System: You created the skill [
"Mental Manipulation"]
[System: You have acquired the skill [
"Attack Reflection"]
////
After creating the two new skills, I would have to try them out.
"I think you should stop attacking me."
After uttering these words the fishman who was ready to attack me stopped abruptly.
'Hohoho, so it worked...'
"Now like a good boy stay in the seiza position."
The furious fishman even a few seconds ago knelt in front of me.
"Good boy."
Sighing I looked at the people behind me.
"What have you ever..."
All:"Stop making jokes kid!"
"Hahahaha."
//// POV ~ Rouge ////
I didn't know what to think, the boy who was nearly dead a few hours ago was now fighting a fishman.
'Who is this person? Why is someone of your strength here?'
These questions do not leave my head.
That's when the boy stopped moving and said.
Boy:"I think you should stop attacking me."
Then the furious Triton stopped attacking
'But what?'
My mind stopped with that.
Right after that, the boy told Merman to kneel down, which Merman did quickly.
'This-this and as if he was taking orders...'
Suddenly an idea popped into Rouge's mind.
"Nothing much, I just used one of my skills to make them recognize their mistakes."
Rouge:"Is it that simple?"
/// POV ~ Rouge - END \\\
Of course I will never tell you that I will use Mind Manipulation magic on the mermen of the ship.
...
[Three days later]
It's been three days since I rebelled against the merfolk.
Needless to say, I manipulated the minds of every merman on the ship.
In the meantime, after several questions I found out why the newts came to the surface.
They were after the captured Portgas D. Rouge.
It wasn't an absolute secret that Gol D. Roger had a wife, only to those closest to him that Ace's birth was told.
But like any good secret, it never lasted forever...
And as expected.
Many found out about Portgas D. Rouge and Portgas D. Ace.
This resulted in Rouge handing Ace over to Garp, and then taking his own life.
But its ending was very different from the series.
Who would have thought she would die like this...
Just thinking about how she would suffer at the hands of Hody Jones... made me so angry.
After calming down I looked at the rest of the ship.
The ex-captives were no longer on the ship's trapdoor, each sharing their rooms with a person of the same gender.
I must say that my relationship with Rouge became closer and closer.
Not to the point of becoming a couple, but we weren't far from it either.
I looked at the bottom of the sea, as if trying to find something in the darkness.
'Oh Hody Jones, your time is very close...'
