Out to Sea

Next Month

As I stood in the middle of the forest, I pulled out Morgan from its scabbard and increased its size to 5 feet. I sent out a red slash in less than two seconds horizontally as I watched it cut all the trees in half. I made sure I didn't sure destroy all the trees in the forest since it was home to quite a large amount of animals.

As I watched all the destruction, a single attack of my sword caused, it put a small smile on my face as this showed the result of my hard work. As I resheathed Morgan back in its scabbard, I asked the system to display my current stats.

{ Drake Ancologia }

{ Height: 5'9 }

{ Mad Enhancement Body- As the host gets stronger and older, the host's regeneration and durability increase as well. The max the host's body regeneration and durability can reach are one level above Kaido's regeneration and durability. }

{ Strength: Peak Blue Seas Pirate: Around Luffy's level after he defeated Alrong and reached Little Garden.

{ Devil Fruit: None }

{ Haki: Awoken Two Types }

[ Color of Armament: Low Low Basic Mastery ] ( Read the Haki chapter ) ( Two lows means the bare minimum was achieved. )

[ Color of the Supreme King: Awakened Stage ]

{ Skills }

[ Geppo: Basic Mastery ( Same levels as haki ) ]

[ Soru: Basic Mastery ]

[ Rankyaku: Basic Mastery ]

( Note: Just because someone can use haki doesn't automatically make them stronger than someone who doesn't. Example: Luffy before the time skipped smacked Boa Hancock's sister, who is proficient at using observation and armament haki. )

( I will make a chapter that has all of Drake's named moves. )

' Around Luffy's level of strength huh after he defeated Alrong. I guess my improvement is pretty good. I awakened armament haki about a couple of weeks ago. I guess it was to be expected with all the life and death battles I had.'

' As for trying to master armament and conqueror's haki is a lot harder than I thought it would. I can only bring out conqueror's haki from my soul if I put all my concentration into it. Even then I can only burst small amounts of pressure, still good enough to render animals and weak-willed humans unconscious. Conqueror's haki will grow strong as I grow older and use it more.'

' I have been trying to use my " willpower or spiritual energy" to create an invisible armor around myself mostly my arms, that increased my offensive and defensive capabilities. I had some success in armament haki as I can turn my harden my arms for around 2 minutes before I deplete my spiritual energy along with my remaining stamina.

'I tried imbuing armament haki with Morgan but I couldn't even bring out haki outside of my arms to inbue Morgan with. And Morgan is already a black blade so I'm not worried about it being destroyed by anything.'

' As for observation haki, no matter what I did, I couldn't awaken it. My talent in observation haki is lacking compared to my talent for armament and conqueror's haki. But I'm not that worried about it yet since I'm 7 years old and pretty satisfied with awakening the other two types of haki.'

( Note: This is to balance out the mc powers and abilities as I don't want a 7-year-old to master everything within a day. The mc will reach basic peak mastery in the two types of haki when he's like 9 or 10. I don't wanna make the mc too op for no reason. The mc growth will be similar to Luffy at the start but will slow down as he reaches his prime just like everyone else. )

Looking at the stats, I can say I'm pretty happy at mastering three of the Rokushiki. In my opinion, the Rokushiki is one of the most underrated fighting styles in the One Piece world. Imagine combining it with Haki and a strong ass devil fruit.

The amount of destruction you could cause with it could probably destroy a whole island. It's why I'm so intent on mastering all six techniques of the Rokushiki and I wanted to create my versions of them that would emphasize my strong but fast sword style.

'Not to mention once I mastered all of the Rokushiki techniques, I can master the Rokuogan, the strongest technique within the Rokushiki style. A move that bypasses an opponent's defense and causes massive internal injuries. It's similar to Internal Destruction used by those who mastered armament haki to the pinnacle.'

'The move most likely took inspiration from it. I figured if I mastered it, then I would have an easier time mastering Emission and Internal Destruction as well. Imagine the internal injuries you can cause to someone if you combine all of that within a single move.' I thought while laughing at using the move against pirates. I started coughing from laughing too much as I decided to head back to the town since the townspeople were waiting for me as today I would leave the island.

As I started headed back towards the town, my body was pretty sore from all the training I did during those weeks. Now the mom and Albert died, no one could stop me from doing pretty much whatever I wanted.

Some of the older folks did try to stop me but I didn't listen to them too much but I did thank them for their thoughts. The number of exercises I did pushed my body to its breaking point even with my body healing all the injuries but sadly mad enhancement doesn't recover stamina at all and soreness as well.

1000 Sit Ups - Increased by 4 times each week

1000 Push-Ups- Increased by 4 times each week

1000 Squats- Increased by 4 times each week

10 Kilometer Run- Increased by 4 times each week

As I walked through the cut-down trees, some of the animals started following me like bears, monkeys, and similar animals as well. I guess I became the overlord of the forest as I would fight against them and defeat them. I made sure I killed none of them since Albert was friends with some of them and I just didn't want to kill for no reason.

As they started following me my mind drifted towards what kind of devil fruit I should eat. Although the devil fruit locater can locate any devil fruit within its radius which is 145,000 mi, smaller than the black sea on Earth, it has a major weakness that I have to touch a devil fruit physically to know its exact name.

( The world of One Piece is way bigger than Earth along with its sea as well. )

'Normally, the strongest devil fruits would be logias but some of them are pretty limited in what they can do. The magma fruit has the most destructive attacks but that's pretty much what it can do, cause destruction and nothing else. That goes for most logias except for the rumble fruit as you can do so much with it.'

' The next strongest type would be paramecia as they can give you access to some broken ass powers like gravity and the ability to destroy the whole fucking world. Paramecia have the most potential but I also wanna eat a strong devil fruit from the start, not one that would take years of effort to make it strong. If I were to eat one paramecia it would either be the gravity fruit or the more fruit.'

' The last one is zoan types, the weakest of the three types but also has its uses. I don't think I wanna eat a zoan fruit as they are limited even awakened versions of them. But if we are talking about mythical zoans then that's another discussion. Mythical zoans give you access to unique powers similar to Paramecias and even logias with the bonus of having the boost one gets normally from eating a zoan.'

' Now, if I had any options I would either chose a strong mythical zoan or paramecia with tons of potential. Logias unlike the other two types has counterbalances to them like the rubber fruit countering the rumble fruit and the magma fruit countering the fire fruit.'

'From what the system told me, there are laws in this rule in this world that limit the powers of devil fruits so they don't end up destroying the world. The system explained even though theoretically the flame fruit should be stronger than its counterpart the magma fruit but it isn't due to the laws set by the universe. Or how the gravity fruit should be able to manipulate all forms of gravity but can't due to the same laws applying to it along with every other devil fruit.'

( Note: I created this so people don't say " O but fire can be hotter than magma or the gravity fruit should be able to create black holes or any other bullshit people like to complain about, bitch they can't it's anime logic. I just created an explanation for it.)

' Hmm, looks like I have to found a mythical zoan but that could wait. First, I should locate those who I want to join me.' I thought as I reached the makeshift harbor where everyone was along with the animals that followed me.

As I greeted the townspeople, I saw the ship that I would use in my bounty hunter life. It was the ship size as the Going Merry, it was one of the two ships used by the pirate crew that attacked us. The other one was destroyed and everything valuable was taken by us. I was disgusted to use the same ship the pirates used but there was no better option.

" Drake, please be careful as you hunt pirates. Don't let your hatred for pirates dictate your whole life. " An old man said to Drake named Iroh. He was the oldest in the town and most caring as well. He would give out pretty helpful advice to anyone as he was pretty wise in those types of things.

I nodded at him as I didn't want to become like Akainu. I have to make sure I accomplish everyone's dreams and mine as well so I don't exactly have time for revenge. As more people showed up, I started talking with them making sure I said goodbye to everyone as I don't know when I will come back.

" Sokka, Yue, Lee, Zuki, Noah, and Oliver, I'm leaving the protection of the town to you guys," I said to six kids as they hugged me and started crying. Looking at everyone, I suddenly felt like staying with everyone here but I knew I had to leave them.

I made sure the animals protected everyone as well since they were getting food and care from the townspeople as I brought them to the town more and more during the last month. The ship's two sails were already unveiled and its anchor was already pulled when I reached the harbor by some of the folks.

After about 10 minutes, I jumped towards the boat's deck and walked to its steering wheel located on the right side of the ship. I started steering the wheel as the ship started to disembark from the harbor. The ship's two sail was already unveiled and its anchor was already pulled up by some of the people.

" Everyone, I promise I will come back. Stay safe everyone." I yelled out as tears came out of my eyes. As the ship sailed, I waved at everyone until I couldn't see them anymore. I decided to randomly sail as with the system's map, I didn't have to worry about getting lost.

I was hoping I would counter pirates on my first day but I didn't. I find some on the map but they were too far away. As the night descended, I docked the ship onto a small island with no people. After making sure no one was near on the map, I fell asleep within the ship's Captan's room. I still made sure the system woke me up if any enemies were near the ship.

---------------------------------

If you liked the chapter you can drop some powers stone or just a comment if you liked. If I made any mistakes do let me know. If it's a single word mistake, just ignore it like bruh it's one fucking word out of 2352 words, it's not gonna ruin the whole chapter.

You can write a review on what I can improve on but don't make it stupid and write a 2-star review on me making the mc join the marines is stupid. Don't use the review option to ask stupid ass questions either like if it's a harem story, is the mc ruthless, or other stupid shit like this leaving a 1-star review like what the fuck is wrong with you? Shit like this affects whether the story gets recommended or not and it gives a negative impression to people who read the reviews.

( Note: The system has two main functions but it can do small things like this. It won't help with any fight either and it can't talk to Drake unless he asks first or tells it to do something. This is pretty important but should the system have an inventory?)

( Question: How the fuck do you train " willpower ". It would be nice if Oda explained that shit. It's been like 10 years since we never got one fucking explanation. )

( Note: This is directly from the One Piece wiki as I know someone will ask how you run of haki. )

( Busoshoku Haki is subjected to depletion if used for long periods of time as it is said to be proportional to the amount of spiritual life force an individual possesses as well as their remaining stamina. After the threshold is reached, the user will be unable to use it for a certain amount of time. It appears that the more Haki is used, the faster it will deplete. The users are unable to use Haki until they regain their stamina to use it again. )
