Chapter 3

I never want to remember the last ten minutes. Ten minutes where I was bent across and spanked on my sister's lap. Ten minutes of humiliation in front of the fighting townsfolk and even the captured pirates. Ten minutes of embarrassment which I would surely avenge in the future but till then it was to be locked away in the depths of my mind and forgotten.

*smack*

Rouge- "What the hell are you doing here??"

*smack*

Cain- "I was worried about you."

Her face softened for a bit but then she went right back to spanking me.

*smack*

Rouge- "Next time listen to your elders and evacuate to the shelters."

*smack*

She stopped and looked straight into my eyes

Rouge- "No next time."

Cain- "Ok."

*smack*

Cain- "I agreed! What was that for?"

Rouge- "Oh it was just a little addictive",she mumbled.

I ignored that part of her dialogue and asked her in a very excited manner,"Will you teach me how to fight?"

"No", was her answer. "You are still too young and training now will only harm you,"she said.

Cain- "Ok"

The marines finally arrived and the pirates were taken away and the bounty was paid to the town's chief who distributed it to the people.

During the entire time I was observing my sister both openly and secretly. I mean it was quite surprising that the gentle elder sister has such incredible fighting abilities and is so strong.

A few weeks have passed since the incident and in the meantime I have tried to exert myself more in all physical activities. I run more and faster, I climb higher trees, I lift heavier stones and I try to swim faster and for longer times, and I try to eat more.

During this time I realized that I am quite different from other children in the fact that I am much much better than any of them in every way.

Not to be narcissistic but I outclass everychild and most teenagers at the age of 2 in almost every way and people always seem to show goodwill towards me. I am stronger, faster, more flexible, smarter and I don't get tired as fast as them.I even look much better than them.

When I told Rouge about this she was a bit surprised, probably because of this analysis is coming from a 2 year old, but told me that I am special and very likely one of the strongest 2 year olds in the world and she also told me not to be arrogant about this and let it get to my head. Just to prove her point she got a hold of me and no matter how I struggled I couldn't break free.

Sighing in defeat I just let her hold me till she had enough of hugging me and then just told me to enjoy my childhood. As there wasn't much else I could do I just ran of to play with the other kids.

[1482]

4 years have gone by very quickly and I have now grown to reach my sister's stomach and my sister is taller than all the other women in this town. She told me she is 200 cm tall to I am a little over 156 cm tall. I have grown my hair out and it now reaches the middle of my back and my sister keeps teasing that I look like a girl which I do not, at all, it is just that I am too good looking for a boy.

My physical capabilities have skyrocketed. I can now beat almost all adults in the town in the aspect of strength, speed, stamina and durability except a few like the chief and my sister.

She is just too strong but I can at least put up some resistance unlike earlier when I was just rubbed into the ground.

Since the time the pirates have come the golden butterflies have been rarely spotted by me but each time I either witnessed something interesting or I gained some treasure.

One time I saw the battle between 2 enormous forest beasts from a safe vantage point and learnt quite a bit, another time I followed it and found a small drifting boat with about 50,000 Bellies and a strange looking fruit which I instinctively disliked which was weird as I am not a picky eater. When i brought back the money and fruit to Rouge she was quite surprised and then explained to me what the fruits are.

The fruits were known as devil fruits and were quite a novelty as they gave the eater various super human abilities and allowed them to instantly become powerful. There was also the downside of becoming unable to swim and that was a direct no for me even if the fruit was super powerful I did not want to become a 'land duck'.

After some investigation the fruit seemed to belong to the paramecia category but since I wasn't going to eat it and was not gonna sell it without knowing it's value I would keep it till I set out on my journey. I had decided quite sometime back, influenced by the stories my sister told me, to travel the seas and find the legendary sea known as 'The All Blue'. I would find treasure, eat tasty food, fight strong enemies and rivals, make many friends and encounter beautiful women who would love to be by my side, and venture the explored and unexplored seas.

My dream was to be free, unbound by any restrictions except the ones I set on myself.
