[Location: Training Grounds, Penber Estate, Ravenholm Island, West Blue]

[Time: The Same Afternoon]

The story continues later into the day, where we,the audience can see that our main character, Ray Penber has been freed from the confines of his classroom and is now seen in the family training grounds, standing in front of a seemingly high level member of the Familia.

[Wahahaha! Little Master, my name is Alex Louis Armstrong! But you may call me 'Master' until the day you have beaten me! Welcome to combat training, where you will learn how to not only protect yourself, but also to defeat and kill your enemies on the battlefield!"

Alex Louis Armstrong, Ray's teacher for armed and unarmed combat, was a large, imposing man. He is a handsome man, with dark green hair styled nicely, and stood around 9 feet and 5 inches. He had wide shoulders, and wore as black suit, along with green cape, with the word 'Family' written on it in a bold, fearless and striking to look at. He also wore white gloves, and possessed a somewhat deep voice. His body is well built, and seemed to pack immense power into a vessel also capable for speed, a deadly combo for most opponents.

"Now, that's what I'm talking about! Let's do this. Which weapon do we start with? A sword? Maybe a spear? Or maybe some long ranged weapons like guns or bow and arrows? If we're learning the sword first, can I learn with the Katana? Hmm, no, we most likely will first with some unarmed combat, no?"

Just as Ray finished his words, his Master punched the top of his head.

"Owww!!"

"Wahahaha! Little pipsqueak, you want to wield all those weapons with such a weak, puny body?! You will first start with physical training and conditioning, so that you can build up your body. After that you will learn basic hand-to-hand combat training and so on and so forth. But that comes later. Let's start at step 1, now shall we?"

'Goddammit, exercise? I hated that in my last life... and now I gotta do it in this life as well?? I thought that one could get absurdly strong just from a little training... but I guess that's reserved just for the main characters... no choice, gotta go through the grind.'

"Okay, let's do this."

"Good! I like that spirit! Let's start off with the same training regimen my ancestor used to become extremely strong, of course, to a lowered degree as you're still just a little squirt."

"Ooh, I like the sound of that. Go on..."

Then suddenly, the master's face turned serious as he declared, "100 push-ups! 100 situps! 100 crunches! 100 pull-ups! And a 10 kilometer run! Every single day!"

'Who the fuck is this guy's ancestor?! Fuckin' Saitama?! No, can such a broken charachter exist in this world?!... Nah, hold up, a similar training could just exist in this world as well.'

"Such a training regimen, and that too this is a heavily diluted version... your ancestor must have been one powerful, famous character, no?"

"Wahahaha! He sure was! Unfortunately, the knowledge that I know about hum is pitifully low, as he lived around 800-900 years ago, and so I don't know much about him. But what I did hear, astounded me."

'Tch, just perfect. He lived during the Void Century, a period of time whose records were completely wiped by the World Government in the anime...'

"So tell me, what do you know of him?'

"Ah, there were so many unbelievable stories. Its said that he once shattered a meteor, with just a single punch. His training was said to have been so intense, that he lost all his hair in just 3 years, and that was when he was of a young age! It's said that he broke the world's limits, and became so strong that no fight could ever interest him! Unfortunately, it seems that his full training regimen was lost to time, and only this basic training method was left." Louis finished, sorrowfully shaking his head.

'If he is who i think he is, I'm pretty sure that's the entire regimen! That's fuckin'- No. Maybe it's someone else. I refuse to believe it. But just to make sure...'

"What was his name?" Ray asked anxiously, eyes booldshot.

'Ah, he seems to be inspired by my ancestor. He looks like a little child looking up at his hero. Seems a bit too excited though...' thought Louis, upon seeing Ray's figure.

"His name was Saitama." Louis replied proudly.

"Nooooo!!! How could this be be!!! Author, what the hell is this?! Why is Saitama in the One Piece Universe!!!" Ray yelled, no longer able to contain his emotions.

"Author? What are you talking about, Little Master? Are you alright?", Louis asked worriedly. Maybe he had hit his head too hard and might have caused some brain damage.

Suddenly, the world turned grey. The birds flying in the sky stopped mid-flight, and so did the movements of Ray and Louis. Then, a ripping sound was heard, before everything went back to normal.

"Nooooo- Huh? Why am I yelling?"

"What were we talking about, Little Master? I can't seem to recollect it."

"Yeah, me too... Eh, must have been something unimportant. Anyway, let's start that training regimen you talked about."

"Yeah! Let's move!"

[Location: Unidentified Room, Unknown Location]

In a white room with only 3 walls, and a fourth side extending into the darkness was almost empty, save for a table on which a laptop is present, and a chair, there sat a person.

"Whew, that was a close one. Mc was breaking the fourth wall too much. Had to step in and correct everything. Hmmm, I wonder what I should write next. Maybe some unnecessary trauma for charachter development? Or love? But every good story's gotta have tradegy... what to do... so many options... The person spoke, staring into the laptop screen.

At that moment, the person turned away from the laptop and stared into the Never ending darkness.

"Huh? Whatchu looking at?! Spectators aren't allowed back here. Get out!"

And suddenly, everything turned black.
