(Achilles' Pov)

Since I got my 'system', I decided to learn how to sail properly. I don't wanna be like Luffy when he sets sail, who is completely clueless. Also, I really do not want to test how strong my plot armor is, because it is more than likely that it is in fact non-existent.

Although I haven't quite told my parent what brought this new interest for learning on. So far I've just told them that I didn't want to get lost out on the sea when I go out for my adventure. Though I suspect they know that I haven't given them the entire truth.

" Son, hurry up. We're hungry." My dad's whining could be heard from the dining room as I rushed to finish the meal I was cooking.

I decided to start cooking for my family a couple of months ago. I thought it would be a good idea for a multitude of reasons. One I was already a capable cook from my last life, and two I didn't want to starve out at sea when I eventually leave this island.

" It looks delicious." Mom said to me when I brought out the meals.

My mother and I have been spending a lot of time together in the kitchen. The primary reason was that I needed to learn how to cook in this world. The other reason is that we've been working together to create new recipes that have never been explored before.

[ After-Dinner ]

" Hey dad, you keep talking about how you were a great pirate and sailed all over the world."

" Would it be possible for you to teach me some of your skills?" I spoke to dad who was resting on the couch after we finished eating. Mom was cleaning the plates whilst I was reading a newspaper about the island of Galzburg, which was surprisingly located in the North Blue.

[ Hint Hint, if you know ]

" Hmm, well it seems you've come to recognize my greatness. " Dad spoke, bragging about himself.

" Oh yes, you're truly the epitome of greatness. Well if we exclude the fact you almost drowned in the west blue." My mother giggled as she poked fun at my dad, something which made him pout.

" Haha, very funny. Well, at least you're kinder to me than your mother Achilles. Let me go grab my supplies and we can get you started on the basics of navigation."

Right after my father finished speaking, he dashed upstairs.

[ 10 Minutes Later ]

" Dad ar-are you sure I have to read all of this?" I stuttered shocked at the number of books my father had just casually plopped onto the table in front of us.

In front of me were about 30 different books about how to sail the Four Seas, New World, and Paradise. With some books about the weather in those parts of the world and how to survive them.

" Stop making that face, if you don't understand the basics then you won't survive when you go out to explore this vast, vast world." My dad tried to encourage me.

" Honey, tell you what if you finished everything, we can go on a vacation."

Mom spoke as she entered the living room and heard what dad and I were talking about.

" Fine, both of you convinced me," I said to them picking up a massive book about the New World.

" Umm, you might want to start with the books on the 4 seas." My dad laughed as my face went red in embarrassment.

[ 2/10/1477- 2 Years Later, Achilles is 10 ]

In the middle of the North Blue sea, you could see a 4'8 Achilles sailing through the ocean in a medium-size boat with his dad.

[Achilles' Picture- Kid ]

" Hey dad, I think a storm is about to form." I steered the ship back towards our home island as I noticed the clouds in the atmosphere slowing changing.

" How can you tell?" Dad asked as I turned around the ship towards where we departed from. Compared to me, he didn't seem to care about the change in the weather. Well, I guess I can't blame him since he has no doubt seen weirder shit in the grand line.

" You said you won't help me with anything unless it's an emergency so I'm not taking any chances with this," I said back to him noticing it started raining a little.

" Welp, you better hurry up son if you don't wanna drown," Dad said on the side watching me trying to sail the boat steadily pissing me off.

" Shut up, if your not gonna help, then sit there and be quiet," I yelled at him making him quiet. After about 20 minutes, we arrived home thankfully with the ship intact.
