Chapter 2: 3 Years Part 1

(A/N.... I want to make a statement about the personality of the MC and what he will do for the majority of the story. The MC will not needlessly kill, he will only kill people that deserve it. So if you ask him to be more ruthless I'm going to say no. Also the MC will follow Luffy, I will try to make changes and maybe some original Arcs. Anyways with that out of the way, enjoy the chapter)

After solidifying my will, even more, I got up off of the sand, my stomach is growling. Deciding to finally get some food, I quickly run to the edge of the forest and spot some fruit on the trees, that looks like a bigger mango. Anyways, I climb the tree with ease due to my training from the other day, grab a couple of fruits and jump down. Scarfing down the fruit I start to do my training.

*********(1 month later)**********

After training for 1 month my progress has slowed down, it is getting harder to progress. My status is getting better, I'm able to start practicing Soru, and able to upgrade my first skill.

'System, can you explain how skill upgrades work?'

[Skill upgrades can allow you to 'Evolve' your skills to better versions so you can continue to improve. Skills may have different paths or will only have one option. Not every Skill is upgradeable, and some can be upgraded many times]

'Alright system upgrade {Beginner Bodybuilder}'

[DING! {Beginner Bodybuilder} upgraded into {Intermediate Bodybuilder}]

'Sweet, System can you show me the definition for {Intermediate Bodybuilder}?'

[Intermediate Bodybuilder: This skill will improve your training greatly, over time removing any flaws in any type of training that improves the body.]

'This skill seems like it might be overpowered if I can continue to upgrade it.' I figured it's about time I try using {Soru}, "Soru!" I instantly hit the ground ten times in an instant kicking up the sand around me appearing a couple of feet away from where I was. After executing the skill, I screamed in pain, it felt like all the muscles in my legs were just shredded and I collapsed, passing out.

About half an hour later I woke up, I got two notifications.

[DING! Pain Threshold hit, for enduring a short amount of time host is rewarded 3 Willpower]

[DING! Pain Threshold surpassed, Pain Reduction Upgraded due to special circumstances, now granting a 25% pain reduction]

'Aww fuck that hurt, thank god for my 10% pain reduction and High Regeneration. I need to get used to huge amounts of pain and quick.' With that, I hardened my resolve and headed into the forest, after grabbing something to eat because I was starving. After I walked around for a little bit I spotted a wolf, probably about the same size as they were on Earth. I tried concentrating on trying to get the overpowered skill {Observe} but it didn't work. Guess it isn't that easy. The wolf spotted me and started howling, soon after there was a whole pack of wolves. They all pounced at me at once. Just before I got hit, "SORU!". Hitting the ground as hard and as fast I can I appeared behind the wolves, I kicked one in the behind sending him flying into another and finally into a tree.

[DING! For Incapacitating Two Lesser Wolves you have been rewarded 100XP.]

[DING! Leveled up to LVL 6. All stats +2]

I slightly smirked and dismissed the notifications before bringing my eyes back to the fight. My body felt cool all over, signaling that I can fight again. I use {Soru} one more time appearing behind another wolf, kicking it with all my strength in the abdomen. The wolf lets out a whimper and falls to the ground unconscious. Ignoring the notification from the 'System' I rush towards the last wolf, and with all my strength. I kick the wolf and it skids back. This wolf was not having any of my shit and was stronger than the rest.

"Soru" I murmured, appearing beside the wolf kicking out towards the wolf. The wolf reacted in time and jumped at me with a counter-attack biting my leg and drawing a considerable amount of blood. I hop back on one foot quickly and go on the defensive. I proceed to dodge for about a minute before my leg feels the same cooling sensation and is completely healed. I launch myself at the wolf one more time, dodging under the wolf that jumps towards me uppercutting his abdomen. The wolf coughs up blood, before attempting to hit me once again. Unfortunately for the wolf, he was too injured and thus was way too slow to keep up. "Soru", appearing in front of the wolf I proceed to kick it across the face. The wolf slams into a tree and the wolf's spine snaps.

[DING! For Killing an Alpha Lesser Wolf you have been rewarded 150xp]

I let out a sigh and open my 'Status'.

'I gained a useful skill and leveled up twice but more importantly, I got meat.'

After a few hours, I cooked the meat and ate it. I ate all of them. It was so delicious, now I see why Luffy likes meat so much. Just before I went to sleep I got another quest.
