Chapter 4

Buggy's boat arrived near the Logue town, it was night outside and James had a made himself a mask out of a cloth and put it on his face, this way you could only see his eyes.

He was looking at the water and he said. "Alright, what you guys have to do is simple.

After I arrive on the island you guys go cause chaos and then run away immediately.

And again, never mention my name or face to anyone."

He looked backwards and said. "Understood?"

They nodded their heads and affirmed him multiple times.

*SWOOSH*

As they got very close to the island James jumped with all of his strength down there.

As soon as he arrived on the island he started running with all of his strength, normal humans could barely follow his movements with their eyes.

As he got a good distance away he threw his face mask away and started walking through the streets of Logue Town.

*BOOM*

The sound of a loud explosion could be heard from behind James, he looked in that direction and said. "Looks like they started."

The sound of footsteps could be heard throughout the streets, James looked and saw a bunch of people armed to the teeth in navy-uniforms running towards the cause of the sound.

"Looks like they took the bait, now all I have to do is get a place where I can stay at."

He started walking around for a place where he can stay for a prolonged period of time.

After some time he finally found a building that looked like a hotel, he entered the place and saw that there were was no one inside, only the person at the counter.

The person at the counter was a tall and well built old man.

The man noticed James since he entered the shop and he was looking at him.

His eyes widened but his face went back to his stoic one.

"This place's closed."

James stopped walking and looked back at the sign on the front door, it said open on the inside so he decided to mess with him.

"It only says closed on the outside, but now that I entered it says that it's opened."

The man looked at James with a stoic face and said nothing.

James took a bag out of his school uniform and put it on the counter.

"There's 1 million berries there.

Let me stay here for some time."

That was part of the money James took from Buggy's ship, that clown really loves his money.

The man looked at the money, sighed and grabbed a key from his wall and threw it to James.

"No one really comes to this place anymore since Gold Roger died, so you don't have to worry about anyone disturbing you."

James looked at him and thought. 'People don't come here since roger died, huh.

Does that mean that Roger used to come here or what?

Is it some haunted place that people don't approach ?'

James started walking away and he said. "I won't ask anything about it old man, it's not like it matters anyway."

While he was climbing the stairs he thought. 'He's strong, that old man.

I don't know who he is but it's better not to mess with him.'

James could feel that that old man was strong, he didn't know him from the anime so he must be someone who used to sail the seas in his younger days.

He couldn't tell how strong he was but he could feel that he stood no chance against him.

The old man looked at James's back and thought. 'That kid's weird, I could barely read his emotions and intentions.

But it looks like he doesn't plan anything heinous so I'll let him be.'

James opened the door to his room and saw that it was big enough for him to live in.

He locked the door and sat on the bed.

'Today's been a long day, I somehow arrived in the world of One Piece and it's before Luffy set sail.

Now that I'm not among the top players in this world it looks like I'll have to make my way to the top.

A crew feels troublesome but I do need some type of company...

I'll think about it more tomorrow.'

>>>>

James Lee woke up because the sun was getting in his eyes, he got up on his feet and stretched his body.

After he did that he went to the bathroom and said. "Wow, they actually have toothbrushes and toothpaste here."

After he brushed his teeth and took a shower he looked at the clothes on his bed.

It was his school uniform and just one pair of underwear.

"First I need to buy some clothes, there's no way I'm going to wear the same outfits everyday."

>>>>

After two hours of shopping James Lee finally bought enough clothes, they have most of the stuff they have in his old world too so he can make it work.

He had on a white T-shirt, white jeans and white loafers to match it all up.

"Alright, now what about the serious problems.

How exactly do I get stronger?"

This world was ridiculous and not very consistent when it came to powers.

Fighting would probably be the best option but he doesn't want to be under any kind of radar yet.

'There was sea king meat that's supposed to make you stronger if you eat it. I'm going to buy some.

And for getting stronger, first I'll try training with some weights on me.'

He went down to the ground floor and saw the old man sitting on a chair reading the newspaper.

"I'm going in the back of the building, there's a forest there so if you need me you'll find me there."

"What are you going to do there?"

"See how strong I am exactly and what kind of training will work. It will take some time to find the best way to get stronger."

The man put the newspaper in his lap and said. "Why do you want to get stronger boy?

There's no need to do that in these seas."

"Are you really asking me that old man?

I want to seek the pleasure of fighting once again, but I know I'm too weak to actually have some fun, so first I need to get stronger."

The man's eyes widened and he said. "You want to fight for your own pleasure? You must be insane."

James Lee's iconic wild expression emerged on his face and he said. "So what if I am crazy?

I just want to get stronger and that's it.

I strive a challenge, from where I came from no one could be my opponent.

Now that I opened my eyes to a wider world who wouldn't want to test themselves."

The man's eyes widened again and he said with a smirk. "You have a good spirit boy, you remind me of my old days.

Maybe I can move my old bones a bit and see what you're made of."

James said with the same wild expression. "Are you sure you can handle it, old man?"

"Hmph, you would shit your pants if you knew who I was back in the days."
