The Truth and Out to Sea

"How do you have these abilities to bring things out of nowhere?" (Hancock)

I thought to myself *can I actually tell the truth to them or do I have to skirt around the question and just don't say anything about it*

System: the host has free rein to tell whoever he truly trusts about the system and for those he doesn't fully trust he can offer up a life and death promise that if broken will cause the one who broke the contract to lose their life.

The system said explaining to me who I can tell about it.

"I'll tell you girls the truth but please just wait till we hit the seas while following this compass before I tell you girls okay?"

They look at each other and realize that it must be extremely important to him to wait till there all alone with him on the open seas so they nod at him saying they'll wait till he's ready.

I just grin at them and pullout the compass while holding it out to Hancock and her sisters, "Just imagine the place where you girls desire most to go to and this compass will point the way." I say as I leave it in there hands while making all three hold the compass before letting them open it to see it go haywire pointing in every which way before slowly settling down and pointing in one direction.

"Well looks like we know of the way to go from here, but with how the currents are in the grand line will probably have to zig zag across the sea to hop between the different routes used on the grand line for normal navigation."

They agreed as well the seas on the grand line were notorious for being hard to travel without a form of navigation such as a long pose or an eternal pose to point you in the right direction, but with the J.S Compass it's like having an eternal pose for any location in the world making all our future travels much easier…. Though it did say that by using this were much more likely to encounter danger on our journeys though….

But with that being all said we then went to the docks to board our small caravel and started to set sail by bringing all our food, clothes and money on board the ship but before we really started to head off Hancock asked

"So what should we name our first ship?"

"Well I wasn't really thinking of naming it after all this ship will probably only be used for our journey too Amazon Lily because will be using a much larger ship later down the line right?"

"Well we should name it at least something it was used on our first journey together that with out it we would never have gotten home." (Sonia)

"Hmmmm…. How about our first ship together we call it the 'Firestarter' because it was the ship that lit up the fire of this journey together."

"Hmmm… why not let it have a more snake like name?" (Hancock)

"Why? Do you not like the name that I picked?"

"No there's nothing wrong with that name but since we're well…. Engaged to each other and all that we should name the ship in a more snake way since, Kuja name all of there ships after some kind of snake…" she says while blushing and being all bashful like.

"Well… I'd like it to have something to do with fire and all that but we can add in a snake name. Is there any specific snake that your people are known for?"

"Well we have all kinds of snakes that live on Amazon Lily like cobras, anacondas, black mambas, and Yudas just to name a few." (Sonia)

"I'm familiar with all of those except Yudas what kind of snake are they?"

"There the snakes that we use to pull our main Kuja ship back home, there the natural predator of Sea Kings that they never attack our ships." (Marie)

"Hmmm… Yuda might be good how about we call it the 'Flaming Yuda' it has the best of both worlds it has snakes and fire together in the name."

"Well… I think it's a good fit plus a flaming Yuda would be both fast and a scary sight to see on the open seas, and the name is similar to the Kuja ship the Perfume Yuda so what will the symbol of our Jolly Roger be?" (Hancock)

"I was thinking more something similar to the Kuja pirate symbol but with our own twist on it."

"What would you do to it?" (Sonia)

"Well what does the Jolly Roger look like?"

"It's a skull with 9 snakes coming out from it making a circle with the snakes." Hancock said as she drew up the symbol of the Kuja pirates which I found there symbol to be cool but we neede to change somethings.

So with that I drew a skull like the original but with only 3 snake heads pointing out in a triangle formation with crowns on there heads with the back ground of it in a burning fire.

"Well? What do you girls think?" They came over to look at how I drew up the Jolly Roger and after looking at it they grinned at me and all agreed that this will be our symbol of the Flaming Yuda of the just made Firebrand Pirates.

With it all finally finished we started to set sail and look who came to see us off but Tom and his apprentices.

"THAAANK YOOOOU FOR THE SCHEMATICS!!!!" Franky shouted at us as we we're getting away from the docks so I shouted back "GOOD LUCK WITH THE TRAIN! SEND ME A LETTER WHEN ITS FINISHED!"

"WILL DO! SEE YOU AROUND KID!" He said as he waved us goodbye and I waved back with the girls till we were to far to really see them so I went back to the ship wheel while looking at the compass to follow the way back to Amazon Lily.

"Now our real adventure starts here doesn't it?" I ask the girls with a grin on my face.

"It does, now are you willing to tell us what your power truly is because I know about devil fruits and I've not heard of any that have those kinds of abilities." Hancock said curiously and so were the sisters so I told them the truth, well most of the truth I didn't mention me being reincarnated, god, how this world is just a story in different worlds just the important stuff, like I was born with these abilities, I can naturally use fire, my soul bound sword Dandalga, the realm of creation (how I can bring things out of thin air, I.E the shop, and living things when I'm stronger), fusion of me and summoned beings to increase my strength and finally evolution upon myself to exponentially increase my strength.

After I explained it all to them there faces were so priceless that I had to take a picture with the system.

"…. Wait so you can make anything appear if you want?" (Hancock)

"Yes I can, the thing is it's done on an exchange system I have to turn valuables or Berries into energy for me to summon these things into the real world."

"… So could you make the one piece?" Sonia asked which shocked her sisters as they looked at me wanting to know the answer.

"Yes… but its worth more than if I took all the gold in the entire world to make a 2nd one of it, it's too important that the world has deemed it priceless and that there can not exist 2 one pieces at the same time." I say as a matter of fact, I checked back in the past what it was and if I could make it but it just came up with question marks with the system saying to me back then 'your not ready to know the truth' and I tried to ask more questions but I was met with silence.

"That's probably the strongest ability in the world." (Marie)

"It is, but a major weakness is that it burns through my finances at an insanely fast rate plus it restricts me from owning something's because I'm not strong enough to handle or protect those items so right now it's relatively weak, I need to evolve and strengthen myself to even make it overpowered."

"Well at least I know that things will be interesting with you around, but aren't you strong enough to evolve now?" (Hancock)

"I am, hell I'm strong enough to evolve twice but I need to be on solid ground not on open sea like this, and with no one close by because it can possibly hurt those around me if I go through evolution."

"Oh that's awesome then! But wait didn't you say you can evolve others as well?" (Hancock)

"I can evolve the people and things I summon to this world, but currently I'm not strong enough to evolve those that live in this world."

"But you can when you are stronger?" (Sonia)

"Correct I can but I also need the proper materials as well to evolve anything and the stronger it is the rarer the materials are required to evolve, but enough about that we've been talking long enough, let's hoist the sails and follow the compass back too Amazon Lily!"

"YEAH!!!"

And with that we started to set sail on course for Amazon Lily.

..

…

Two days later…

We have been following the compass in what I can describe as a snake pattern going down one of the known paths on the grand line and then gently doing a u turn into a different path on the line and then rinse and repeat, currently we were somewhere in between the islands of Jaya and Long Ring Long Land now currently heading westward towards Amazon Lily that we were roughly 3,000 miles from the southern calm belt from what I could tell.

"A few more days girls till we reach Amazon Lily if the weather holds up." I say while keeping the ship steady with the steering wheel.

The girls were all sunbathing on the deck on beach flat chairs they could lay down on. They all were drinking juices and relaxing while I was doing all the hard work, if it wasn't for this compass I'd have no idea where to go I'm not that great when it comes to navigating on the seas so I'll need a real navigator later down the line when I really start to go see the world, but before that me and the girls need to get stronger before we can make a name for ourselves.

*RUMBLE* the ship begins to rumble violently as a very long object under the water begins to pass us by.

It startles the girls causing them to get off there chairs to see the monster circling our ship in the water.

"Ahh shit it's a Sea King!" To give it a look in simple terms it's just a giant fucking eel and a barracuda mixed into one with huge eyes and teeth with a big fin going all across his back. (A/N Imagine the sea king that attacked shanks it's based off that)

It was scaring the girls as they were afraid that it would destroy the ship but I won't let that happen even though water is a major weakness to me but I'm also a swordsman so I still can take the beast so I removed my shirt and armor and while hoisting Dandalga on my shoulder as I stand on the edge of the ship watching the beast as it eyes us like prey and I motioned the slit throat taunt at it, the thing is, is that sea kings are smart enough to know when someone is taunting them so the beast raised its long neck out of the sea as it began to roar in rage, as it wasn't gonna waste a perfect chance to strike a perfect neck I put all my strength in my legs and leaping spin strike with my blade at its neck, but it only went skin deep not hitting any of its major arteries in its neck.

Outraged at me daring to hurt it and noticing I had fallen into the sea it then lunged and bit down to swallow me whole and drag me under to finish my off.

But the thing this beast swallowed has a blade and not just any blade, a blade that's meant to burn things down was now lodged deep in its mouth, so while aiming upward I stab the blade into the roof of its mouth, it caused it so much pain it resurfaced in agony as I thrusted enough of it through into its brain finally killing it, I then dislodge my blade from its mouth and jump out of its mouth into the sea and slowly swimming back to the ship.

"You girls said those sea kings are a nightmare for us to run into, but that was too easy to take them down."

"Well most people can't use there abilities in the sea like you can making it simple, but if we meet sea kings in the calm belt before we reach Amazon Lily we need to run away as fast as we can because those in the calm belt are called sea emperors for a reason, there big enough to destroy military level armadas lead by rear admirals like they were nothing at all." (Hancock)

"Well then it looks like will need to be careful of the sea when we get closer to the calm belt."

"But judging from the direction and the map of the grand line and the calm belt on the paradise side of the line we should finally arrive home to Amazon Lily." (Sonia)

"… Just a bit more and we're home…" (Marie)

"Well come on Yuda! Let's get going and get us to where we belong!" (Hancock)

"And where I want to belong…"

So I take my blade and point it forward "ONWARD TO AMAZON LILY!"
