After time skip

A whole year has passed since the old man and I started training Usop, he awakened many talents in himself. His accuracy improved, and he lost weight and gained muscle. His ingenuity in choosing shells has increased considerably, but alas, I did not understand how he would replace them when he ran out of them. So I just made sure Usop wasn't attacked by the monsters living on the outer ring during training.

The further you go from the center of the island, the stronger the monsters were, and I managed to fight some of them. Honestly one disappointment - they were too slow.

One touch on the head was enough for me and the wood parasite from the palm of my hand grew into the brain and killed the target.

However, Usop could only run and shoot, and I didn't really understand how he could fight alone against monsters like Kaido.

"Hey Obito!" - Usop waved his hands at me laughing at the bottom while I looked ahead into the sky.

I jumped down and looked at him.

"Can you create a new training ground? The monster destroyed the old one."

Sighing, I folded the seals silently.

Another tree exploded from the tree near me, and as it grew, it created a tangled web of wood.

"Ready." - folded the seal of shadow cloning, I sent the clones to portray the villains in an ambush.

Nodding, Usop frowned and ran forward pulling out his slingshot.

After half an hour of explosions, he came out covered in soot and wounds, but pleased.

Should I tell him one day that the clones succumb to him to boost their self-esteem and use only shunshin and replacement techniques?

"Thanks for the workout! I still have powers! Can you do more?" Usop glowed in anticipation.

"I'm hungry. First, find the monster higher than trees and bring back its meat. Then I'll think." - having sent Usop to hunt, I went to the fire and sat down with Hercules.

"Usop is still not ready to leave the island." the old man said softly.

"Sure? He is already on the verge of awakening his first Haki."

"But he hasn't awakened yet. He will need more time. You helped him regain physical form and willpower. Will you give it to me now?"

Thinking, I nodded, taking a piece of fruit from one of the trees, and took a bite. Somehow the fruit tasted like an eclair. If it weren't for willpower, I would have already become a fat man here.

Over the past year, Hercules has only helped me a little, but mostly I worked on Usop.

I didn't use real strength so as not to accidentally destroy Usopu's will, but rather strengthen it. Now, as a resident of this island and actually a decent fighter, Hercules could teach Usop'n a lot.

"Will you teach him how to grow these seeds?" - I ask him.

Hercules used special plant seeds that instantly germinate and attack the enemy, but when Usop asked to teach, he refused saying that the plants would eat him alive.

"Yes, his ammo will be infinite this way. Seeing how he uses these fireworks even becomes a pity.

After talking and discussing his new program, I lay down, but less than a minute later the earth began to tremble. A giant dead beetle flew over us and rushed into the mouth of the island. Having sated, the island immediately released the land back.

Having lost the fire, we continued to wait in silence and darkness for Usop, whose displeased cries were heard in the distance when his prey flew away.

Another year passed and Usop was looking in front of me hugging Hercules.

"Are you sure you don't want to leave the island?"

"This is my house, why should I do this? I am the great jungle warrior, I can't leave my kingdom!"

I nodded to the old man and got on the boat. When Usopp finished watering the island with tears, he got on the boat and sat down at the oars, and began rowing hard, holding back a new stream of tears and trying not to look back.

We spent the day in silence while Usop rowed, but in the end, after furious swings, he finally got tired and stopped breathing heavily.

"Hey, there are sea monsters around here, are you sure you want to leave the boat like this?" I grinned.

"Easy for you to say, you haven't rowed all day." Usop gasped.

"Just don't say that two years after training, you can't even row a boat."

"Hmpf, I'm full of energy!" - having received a new surge of strength, Usop began to row, but without swimming even a few meters, we noticed a shadow under the water.

"Monster!" - releasing the oars, Usop grabbed a slingshot and a seed, but I grabbed his hand before he had a chance to shoot.

"Leave it to me. By the way, you missed the oars." - looking at the oars that floated on opposite sides of us, I heard a scream as if someone was dying.

Looking at Usop who was panicking scared to swim after them, I almost laughed, but I suppressed a smile.

Jumping out of the boat right into the sea, I stood on the water.

"Stop, you… will be eaten!? How do you do this???" - When Usop saw that I went through the water, he lost his jaw, which fell off and fell to the bottom of the boat.

Deciding to try, too, he jumped out of the boat, but immediately spitting back salt water climbed back.

"I think I found us a new vehicle." I grinned and activated the Mangekyo.

The monster dived deeper and, accelerating, opened its mouth trying to eat me. Usop screamed in panic and started firing but missed the fast snake.

"Nooo! Obito, how could you die so young!? You wanted to see the world so much!!!" Usop was crying.

"Stop yelling already!" - when the waves and the water descended, he saw me untouched standing on the water.

Standing on the water, I felt that the mangekyou could keep me intangible for 15 minutes.

Switching to a tangible form, I waited for the forty-meter-long snake to attack me again and, picking up the moment, jumped back. Pushing off from the water, I filled my fist with chakra and, trying not to let go, so as not to break the snake in half, I hit the monster's scales gently that I had not yet had time to dive.

Having growled for many kilometers, the snake seems to have almost lost consciousness. Rushing to the head, I immediately introduced him to a genjutsu. The serpent's eyes with the flat pupil twitched and the pupil began to shrink. Three tomoe appeared in the eye and now he was an obedient puppet.

Smiling, I waited for the snake to start moving after hit.

"Good snake. Take that boat and get us to the nearest ship."

Nodding, the snake picked up the screaming Usop with its mouth, which again began to shoot at the snake. Landing near Usop, I stopped him.

"He's under my control, don't hurt him. Now the serpent will take us to the nearest ship."

"Wow, so your eyes can do that! But how did you walk on water? And how did you hit so hard? And what happened..." - Usop with burning eyes forgot that he was in the mouth of a sea monster and began to ask questions.

"I'm from a secret village so it's all a secret. I am a descendant of one of the strongest clans so it comes naturally to me." I explained it to him briefly.

I didn't want to lie to him, so I told part of the truth.

"Wow! Can I visit your village? If everyone there is so strong, can i try to learn from them?"

"You can not. Neither the village, nor the clan is no more in this world. I'm the only one here." I shook my head.

Again, I wasn't lying, but when he heard me say something about myself for the first time, Usop put his hand on my shoulder and raised his thumb.

"Sorry for bringing back bad memories, but don't worry, I will introduce you to interesting people and we will learn everything in the world! You will not be alone in this world!"

Nodding, I wondered to myself whether I should say that technically i wipe out my own clan. Obito's memory was fresh when I cut up the police people and took their eyes. The way I made a revolution in one of the villages, killed thousands in the war. And how I released the fox enjoying the torment and destruction. Obito was a part of me after the takeover so I didn't feel like I wasn't him. Even the name I decided to take because I did not want to remember my dark life in a normal world where the only and unshakable force was money.

But deciding not to speak, we just floated in silence.

Seeing that I was lost in thought, Usop decided not to disturb me.

Finally, time passed and the monster's mouth opened, releasing the boat. Looking around, I realized that we were on deck, shaking off our black pants and adjusting my blue shirt, I remembered how I lost the Akatsuki cloak once in the mouth of a monster.

"Who you are?" the nearest man on the ship drew his sword.

"Don't be afraid, my friend and I are just travelers! We would like to get to the Sabaody archipelago. Can I sail with you?"

Looking either at us or at the sea monster, the uniformed people around us were sweating intensely, except for this man in a raincoat…

Capes, uniforms...

Crap! It's military marines!

The realization hit us both at the same time as Usop looked at them in shock.

"Hmmm. So we haave a gueeests…" - a beam of light flew out from behind the marine with a cloak and flew over their heads and hit the snake, eclipsing the sun.

Turning around, we saw how half of the snake simply disappeared in the explosion, and the rest of the body fell into the sea and went to the bottom.

Usop and I gulped in sweat as we watched the tall figure walk lazily toward us with a hand in his pocket. Damn snake!!! Why the hell did he bring us to the most dangerous sociopath-Admiral of all!? Piece of snake shit!

Lowering his finger, squinting, he looked at us

His lazy expression, speech, clothes, strength! With every second, I realized that we screwed up.

How to defeat such a monster? I had ideas how to get out of here, but dude, what's moving at the speed of light? Can I outspeed it with shunshin?

"Good afternoon Admiral Borsalino!" - Stretching straight, I immediately said hi.

"Hmm? Have we meeet?" He tilted his head to the side and looked at me through his glasses.

"We're seeing each other for the first time, sir! But as pirate hunters, we have heard of your strength and deeds!!" Usop picked it up right away.

He may have been emotional, but he wasn't stupid at all.

"We were fighting sea monsters when we were swallowed, to think that we would be saved by you! Thanks a lot!"

"Thanks a lot!"

We both bowed.

"Have you ever been hit at the speed of light?"

Oh shit!

I'm in danger!
