"There are several newer panels that suddenly popped in my status screen. Some are self-explanatory while some just made everything a mess. Especially those question marks. " Said Jack as arrived in a humungous cave with a hole that is around a 100 meters in diameter. Sharp pointed stalactites and stalagmites can be seen on the mouth of the cave like teeths of a behemoth ready to rip apart any trespassers.

After 5 months of training, Jack never touched upon the subject of learning Armament Haki. He honestly doesn't know how to and his body is still not developed enough. Frankly, he only managed to train his Conqueror's to an acceptable level because he he had awoken it accidentally. The same goes with his fruit, if not, he might not be able to awaken it at all.

"As a 4 year old boy with a small body, I can not really do much except increasing my stamina. I could train my muscles like most people do so that I will have the capital to train Armament haki as they said that strong body are required to handle that but, honestly, how strong of a body can a 4 year old have in a year or less? So I decided upon the next best thing! I will use my fruit to train my haki! Armament and Conqueror's. But my talent is average at best so how can I easily learn it? Simple." Jack took a deep breath and bent his knees slightly with his fists close at a 90 degree angle on both of his sides, kind of like a basic martial arts stance, as he stood still without moving while facing the opening of a cave. *Hufff~* He slowly released his breath and took a long deep breath again. He repeated the process several times as everything in his surrounding grew quiet. And when he felt it was the right time, he shouted.

*HAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH*

*Ziiiiiiiing~!*

A semi-transparent beam, with the front being 5 meters in diameter, was shot forth from his mouth as his eyes twinkled a purplish glow for a second. The beam travelled then collided and destroyed the rock formations in the entrance of the cave along with his shout that rudely echoed inside and forced its way towards the inner part.

*Boom! Bam! Booooom!*

*Rumbles~*

The cave shook while winds along with dusts and debris blowed towards outside coming from the cave. Sounds of tumbling and colliding and destruction can also be heard inside.

The cave went eerily silent afterwards. It was only after a while that a deafening and threatening shriek is heard from within.

*SCREEEEEEEEEECH!*

*Swooooosh*

A huge blur of shadow veiled with dusts sprang from the inside of the cave and shot off towards the rude trespasser. However, Jack is already up in the air for he was already prepared on what to do next. While his body is in a vertical position parrallel to the ground, he rolled several times to gain momentum and just as the shadow is about to hit him, Jack willed his fruit powers into his right foot and delivered a sharp kick.

<ASSAULT: JACKHAMMER!>

Jack's right foot turned into a string hammer of about 2 meters in diameter and 5 meters long.

*BOOM!!*

A huge shockwave was produced as the shadow's head was bashed by him. Several tress near them swayed from the effect of the impact. It faltered in mid-air as Jack's hit was able to inflict a considerable amount of damage upon it. He then flipped several times so as not to lose his bearings from the shockwaves and fired of an elastic string to propel him towards the the huge shadow when the system notified him of something.

He widened his eyes and almost immediately changed his direction.

<MIMIC: MODEL, APE!>

A bufffed ape of about 7 meters in height made of strings had manifested beside him in mid-air. It quikly grabbed him with both hands, spinned and throw him up above to wards the clouds and almost instantly, a gigantic snake of about 100 meter long and 6 meters wide sprang viciously towards him but only managed to swallow the ape.

The event from the appearance of the shadow up to the snake was only 10 seconds.

Jack landed on a string and gazed upon the destruction below. Hundreds of trees was either bend, uprooted or broken as a curvy path like that of a snake was carved upon the forest. It looked at him with clear hatred making you wonder what he had done. The blurred figure was also revealed. It was a hairy Pterodactyl with a frighteningly wide wingspan of about 30 meters. Every flap of its wings swayed the trees below.

'Tsk. I thought of incorporating my Conqueror's Haki with my attacks but it did not work. Do I really have to master Ryou first?' Jack pondered as he gave a look of clear disdain towards creatures.

"Two against one? Bah! So shameless! What sect do you came from for you not to know the immensity of heaven and earth?!" He said jokingly. Or is it?

*HISSSSSS!**SCREECH!*

[Pffft!] a small stiffled laugh was heard as a familiar voice rang around his head.

"Oh? Finally came around, huh?" Jack said teasingly but he received no response.

"Ah, woman, you are such a drama queen." He rolled his eyes as he began swinging. 'I think I might be in the wrong world' he thought.

'Oh, fuck it. Sasageyo!' Four tentacle-like strings sprouted from his back as he finally jumped down below.

He dived down towards into the direction of the the creatures while the both of them look at each other, then the approaching boy, and back at each other. Their eyes glinted and nodded at the same time then the flying lizard flew to intercept Jack.

Four pointed lances about a meter in length appeared from his tentacles and throw it towards the flying bird but it evaded easily and continue to fly towards him. Jack was prepare to evade but when it neared him, it made a sharp turn away from his direction and it made an arch horizontally and the next thing he knew it was right above him.

Jack turned to face the creature while falling down as the gears of his brain quickly formed a plan. The flying lizard was about to bite Jack with its long beak but he immediately countered. His four tentacles press their limbs together near his chest and a shield bigger than the lizards mouth manifested.

<GUARD: KRAKEN SHELL!>

*BAM!*

Jack was thrown below and even descended further, it was then when the snake lunges towards him when he entered its range.

However, Jack was prepared for it as he made sure his system notified him of his surroundings.

The snake's mouth was wide open, while its eyes are closed in glee, seemingly happy to finally kill the annoying pest. Jack was just about to made contact with its tongue, however 'Not today, Granny Slytherin.'

Thin string, elastic in nature, is already connected towards the flying lizard was already stretched to the maximum.

*Swish!*

Jack launched off like a slingshot and surppassed the lizards altitude. The string stretched once again to its maximum, the string was connected to his foot so he is currently standing straight. 

*Swish!*

Again, the string once more shot him off, this time on the opposite direction. But the only difference is that  all four of his tentacles was holding one big, sharp and pointed spear about 10 meters.

<ASSAULT: JACK THE IMPALER!>

As quikcly as he ascended, Jack descended with a spear in his pseudo-arms and drilled the Pterodactly's head, dragging it below.

The event only happened for 2 seconds, not enough for the snake to realise its mistake.

Almost at the same time, the snake with its eyes still close, closed its mouth as well as it felt something big and long and entered it's mouth. 'It's too big for me! I cannot swallow everything!'

<ARMODRILL>

As soon as Jack said that, white stuff burst out from the snakes mouth as it went through its nose.. and head. It was pierced from the inside with the white stuff being the sharp white strings.

*BOOM!*

*RUMBLES RUMBLES*

The Snake fell down lifeless with its bare body along with what's visible of the bird, its wings as it is too wide. Its tongue is out in the open while it eyes are white seemingly unconscious.. or lifeless.

The area in the forest around them was clear of any standing tree while dust is floating around. A deep and huge creater formed with the snake's head as the center. The animals all around the island became restless as diffetent voices could be heard and among them, the aerial creatures are the most annoying.

Jack appeared as his strings landed him softly on the ground with beads of sweat on his forehead. His breathing is ragged as he consumed half his stamina fighting. "Sate sate. Two S class beasts fell on the same day. And from the looks of it,  there is about to be the third victim. Isn't that right, little nuggie?"

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

Loud foot steps echoed in the surroundings as trees shook with its every movement. A hundred and fifty meter tall tyranossaurus-rex looking monstrocity approached Jack. Its dry lizard skin represented ancientness, unlike a normal T-rex, its jaws are long resembling that of a crocodile, not to mention its head is very big. Its front limbs are short but it is actually very strong, its hindlegs supported its entire body while his huge tails served as a strong balance mechanism for its disproportionately massive head. Though it is strong enough to bitch slap enemies as well.

Jack already noticed that it arrived while he is lock in a fight. He got nervous for a moment but after reaching certain distance from the battle, the monster stopped moving. Seemingly spectating the match of its inferiors. The disdain intent directed at the ones fighting roused Jack's soul. After the fight ended, it was about to turn to leave, seemingly bored but Jack wouldn't have it so he let out words of the greatest insult. "Dino nuggies".

*ROOOOOOAAAAAR!*

Its roar silenced the panicking animals and at the same time produced enough force to pressure Jack to his knees.

'Haki?! Animals have Haki?! Damn it! It is already much stronger than everybody combined and now this?! Can I even win against it?' He questioned himsellf which weakened him further.

The distance of the monster and Jack was about 300 meters but he is still feeling so much pressure. His legs threaten to kneel the very second..

And so it did. He knelt! Then his body fell down, face first, eating some dirt. His consciousness is slowly fading. But then..

[--ck! -ack!! JAAAAACKKKKK!!!!]

A sob, no, a hoarse crying voice woke him up of his reverie.

Light soon returned to his eyes along with a defiant determination. 'Oye oye oye! Is this everything I'm amount to? All my plans. My confidence. My life. Is every part of me so easily yield? The pains and torment I experienced during the last 5 months! The torment I experience entering this world! And most impostantly, my previous life who should be spent fucking beautiful MILFs! Is everything about it, about ME a fucking joke? Well, fuck you! I hope you choke and die laughing, Fate!!!'

He drag his body slowly and weakly. Crawling his way out of desparation. Out of hopelessness. He crawled and crawled and crawled some more. One small distance followed another, and another.. and another.. and another..

Amidst the howls of tyranny, a 4 year old boy is seen crawling, struggling, questioning his resolve.

5 meters

7 meters

10 meters

His body rose up a little. Barely noticeable but still, it rose.

20 meters

30 meters

As he gets closer and closer the more his lithe body is continuing to break.

[JACK! THIS IS ENOUGH! YOU STILL HAVE A LOT OF TIME! YOU CAN RUN AWAY AND COME BACK STRONGER!]

"Bitch can you--"

[PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!]

her cries continued to ring around his head but he did not relent.

He decided to ignore the annoying woman.

He continued to crawl.

First his knees rose up.

Then he crouched.

Then he stood. Finally he stood.

Jack look at the not with a determined eyes, nor with eyes who lost all hope, but a calm, serene and dangerously twisted eyes.

*THROB*

*THROB*

*THROB*

Then something awoken inside the deepest crevice of his very being, his soul. Power pulsated and coursed through his small and fragile body.

[Kings do not succumbed to despair.

They may be weak in strength, but never by spirit.

You have proved your worth once more.

Ding!

You satisfy the preliminaries to learn: Supreme King's Cloak]

'King's Cloak? Do I get a fancy suit or somethimg? also, I proved my worth once more? when was the first time?' He pondered upon the meaning but he did not have the chance.

*ROOOOOAAAAAR!*

The T-rex saw everything that transpired and was shocked. It looked at the ant in front of him. It now seemed bigger and also... more dangerous?

It shrugged the thought passing it as imagination. The T-rex then charge towards Jack to rip apart his annoying existence.

*Fuuuuuuuuu*

Jack exhaled a mouthful of air while his body is shaking. Blood is dripping from his nose, mouth, ear and eyes. His whole body is exhausted and aching. But he knew better, what he felt now cannot be compared to what he felt a month ago when trained a particular skill of his.

He tried to recover as much stamina as he can.

<Būsuteddo: Mōdo Sūturingu Mahakala!>

*SHING!*

Large amount of strings gushed out from Jack's body as they twisted and folded and finally took the form of a human's muscles. The muscles grew big as he let himself be wrapped with his own strings. His chest got bigger, his hands too, his body, then his feet. What became of Jack is a huge buffed man with a height around 10 feet. His face is almost featureless except for his sharp piercing eyes. The color of his body turned black while two pairs of pseudo-arms grew from his body.

Jack looked back during his time developing the skill. He did not know too much about his muscle anatomy so he used his strings to enter and map out his flesh. His hands, his feet, his back, his chest everything even the face. Jack experience another torture as he tried to create a skill that would allow his body to momentarilly grow stronger.

<Būsuteddo: Mōdo Sūturingu Mahakala!>

[You have 1 minute and 30 seconds before the skill expires]

The cold voice of the system gave him a reminder.

But he got no time no mind it as he have a battle to fight. He jumped in the air using his strings as platform as the T-rex was fast approaching him.

Four hammers appeared in his already raising pseudo-arms then he seemingly blink atop his enemy's massive head. He drove it down.

*BOOOOOOOM!*

Shockwaves that directly uprooted the nearby tree was produce from the impact while his enemy's feet sank deep to the ground creating a crater so huge but the target did not seemed affected at all.

It swayed to the side to bash Jack with its powerful tail but Jack quickly just simply evaded then he delivered another strike, this time to the side of the raptor's mouth.

*BOOOOOOOM!!*

This time, its large canine and a couple of teeth was knocked out of its mouth and the raptor almost lost its balance from the strength of the impact but the trees in the way was not spared.

'So that was your weak spot, huh.'

He noted as he once again landed hammer strikes towards the raptor's mouth and this time it was a barage of attack that devastated the surroundings.

[70 seconds]

As Jack was busy pounding the mouth of the raptor, the system's voice rang making him lose his focus.

The raptor retaliated after given a second to recover by snapping its massive jaw towards Jack but he would just evade again.

Bites vs punches were exchange back and forth but the raptor is clearly losing the exchange.

[60 seconds]

..

[45 seconds]

...

Some notification rang around his head but he commanded it to be silent.

His time is continuing to run out but his strikes' effect are not lethal enough. Then a bulb lit up in his mind, he suddenly remembered the system's notification from earlier.

Jack focus on pseudo-hands to forcefully will his Haki but then.. 'Oh shit!'

*Snapped!*

He had been distracted for a second and the raptor was able to bite him with its massive jaw with razor sharp teeth, or what is left of it.

He thought he was gone for but he was surprised that the teeth are not having contact with his pseudo-arms despite him using it to defend himself. 'Infusion!'

He thought in glee as he covered the rest of his body with his will. The process was exhausting and draining but he did not mind it. All he wanted to do now is to bash this stupid lizard to oblivion.

*ARGHHHHHHHHHH! HAAAAH!*

Jack was able to forcefully open its mouth but he did not stop there. Two of his pseudo-arms is used to open up the mouth while his other two grab a tooth each.

*Rip!*

*Rip!*

*ROOOOOOOAAAAAR!!!*

The raptor howled in pain and stumbled as two of its precious teeth was again removed. But it did not have the leissure to be in pain as Jack appeared on top of its head again.

*Squeelsh!*

*Squeelsh!*

He burried the raptor's very own teeth into its eyes.

*ROAAAAAAR!*

Another pained howl resounded and the nearby animals looked in grief while some in anger as their King is being tormented.

But Jack showed no remorse ashe punched the hell out of his enemy with reckless abandon.

The system is telling him something but he didn't stopped. He was frustrated and now he could finally vent it out.

How dare this lizard made him kneel!

*Rips!*

Its upperjaw was ripped apart by one strong punched! Jack still wanted to continue the onslaught but, his enemy finally relented. It fell on the ground, without conscious nor life.

Jack floated down on its head. He stood there breathing roughly. Steams are coming out of his body. His eyes are bloodshot while his face are beet red.

Looking around, the surrounding was a huge crater riddled with holes and crevices. A once vibrant forest reduced to a clearing of massive proportions.

But he is not finished. Gathering the last bit of his strength, two pairs of his pseudo-arms clasp together and was raised above his head. Focusing his everything, he brought it down with the remaining power he has.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!*

Sounds of a head breaking and brain squashing was overshadowed by an explosion that created a giant dust mushroom. Long lines of webbed crack can be seen on the ground as an even deeper crater was formed from the punch. Debris flew im every direction except the center.

[JACK!!! YOU ARE IN DANGE--]

Sound of the hysterical woman was the last thing he heard before his vision darkened.

*Thud thud thud thud*

"Oi oi oi. Is this kid --err King for real?!" A lazy, bored but shocked masculine voice resounded as footsteps of several people came close to Jack's direction."Say, he did not hear me right? King's can be quite hard to deal with when they are pissed off."

"Sugoiiiiii! Ne ne neee~ Taichou! Can I fight him? I wanna fight him! Can I? Can I? Can I?" Said maniacal, annoying and excited voice belonging to a young girl.

"RAHAHAHAHHAHA! I WANNA FIGHT HIM TOO MYSELF! OI, MEI! WAKE THIS KID UP! RAHAHAHAHA SUCH A STRONG KID DEFEATING SUCH A PREY DESPITE HIS AGE. HE MUST REALLY STRONG!" An even more maniacal and boisterous shout responded.

*Sigh* A melodious sigh escaped from the mouth of a woman. Their sillouete is covered by shadows so one cannot make up their appearance.

The one called Mei harshly reprimanded them in a cold tone. "Can't you see that he is critically injured, Seuss? You are the doctor here so save his life first."

And you Kana, is all you can think with that brain of yours is fight? Why don't I test your courage myself then?

And finally you, you should be the most responsible here as you are the so-called 'captain',

JOYBOY"
