29 Proposal
Guys, sorry for taking my sweet time to update. It is my bad, I know, and I take full responsibility for it.
It is just that this fic started to become too messy, too hard to write thanks to having too many moving parts in it. That is why I came to an idea now.
We have two paths:
1 - I try and continue this fic anyway, but the release of chapters will be very sporadic as I will need to re-read the whole thing and figure out what to do next slowly. I already have some ideas for what to happen next, but it would take time to write properly.
2 - I rewrite it from the start, but with some differences. First, no more System like the one we have now. Instead the MC would have two Essences. Namely, the Grand Line Essence and the Essence of the Merchant. This is their description:
.
.
Essence of Bleach
* You gain the form of a Shinigami, Hollow, or Quincy and may choose to become a hybrid of all three if desired. How this manifests is up to you if you decide on more then one race whether it being a Visored or creature such as Ichigo.
* Have great skill in all the disciplines that come with being that specific race whether it be Zanjutsu for the Shinigami or Blut for the Quincy. You also have the signature tools of your race such as the Zanpakuto or the numerous tools at the disposal of the Quincy. In the case of these you know how to produce more.
* You have a moderate amount of spiritual energy and can grow it further through training or other methods.
* Have a special ability or abilities related to your race and can choose to create your own or use a set from canon. This includes things like a Shinigami's Zanpakuto, a hollows innate powers, or a power like that of the Sternritter for the Quincy.
* By expending a large amount of spiritual energy you can convert others into more of your race who will have the basic abilities of said race.

Essence of the Grand Line:
* Start off as strong as Luffy at the start of the series. You may redesign your appearance right after you drink this essence. You also start off with access to all three forms of Haki although the stronger abilities need to be learned and trained. Your ability to learn and train is enhanced and you will find gains in your abilities to come in leaps and bounds.
* You have access to any known Devil Fruit power and can in fact make your own. You can only access one at a time, although the switch rate is rather quick. New powers must be made in accordance with the rules and types of Devil Fruits, and come with their generic and specific weaknesses. However you can turn DF powers off entirely, and go without any of their weaknesses.
* At any time you may pull a seed out of your pocket or have it appear in your hand. This seed will quickly grow if planted into a strange plant and after some time give you a Devil Fruit based on whatever DF power you choose, the more innately powerful a fruit is the longer it takes to grow. This fruit acts like a normal DF and you can make only one copy of a specific fruit at any one time, but if a fruit you make is back in fruit form you can summon it back to yourself.
* You can also temporarily turn off a devil fruit power from fruits you yourself have grown.
* You can transform into a member of any of the many sapient tribes of people that live in One Piece at will. From Mer-men to Long Legs to Giants and Minks. And can even turn willing people into other races as well. You are a rather outstanding member of said race in physical abilities and their individual powers.
* Though dreams or meditation you can enter a weird island space filled with poneglyphs and Easter Island heads, these poneglyphs carry the knowledge and memories of the OP world. Everything from Fishman Karate to how to make cyborgs is here. Although finding it and studying it can be a pain. Some poneglyphs are encrypted and need time to translate. Also you can read real world poneglyphs as well.

Either way the MC would start as a human a year before CANON while knowing about what is to come. Please tell me your thoughts about it.
PS: I might make him join a Peerage just so he can get his own peerage later, I noticed I never did a reincarnated devil fic so it could be interesting to see how it goes. Food for thought.
