Chapter 28

When I came to the ship, there was still no one there, well, I'm not surprised, if only they would return by nightfall ...

I practiced for a couple of hours and decided to drink rum, and at the same time distribute points in the system, I haven't done this for a long time, it's time, after all, we are sailing to the Grand Line.

"Status" - I said in my mind.

[Name: James D. More]

[Age: 17 years old]

[Body Strength - 100 "Mid Stage"]

[Body Agility - 100 "Fast Stage"]

[Body Vitality - 15]

[Shooting - 0]

[Melee - 55 "Experienced"]

[I teach the Uchu no Mi:

Gravity - 50]

[Observation Hacks - 0]

[Rokushiki: Soru]

[Unallocated points: Development - 1, Height - 50]

Hmm, not bad, these points are enough to move on to the next stage of the fruit, perhaps it is worth doing, but the problem here is that there are not enough development points, hmm ... They are needed, as many as three pieces. And then what to download? Skills of "Rokushiki" can not be pumped, but I think the will is not worth it. Hmm, well, I'll probably throw it at the fruit, I still want to know what kind of "Nebula" it is, and then all that remains is to accumulate just a couple of development points.

Okay, let's go ... All growth points are due to the fruit!

* B-z-z *

As soon as the warmth began to spread through the body, I prepared for a pleasant sensation, but it was not there ...

- Arghhh, damn it! - This time it was terribly painful, as if my body was bursting, blood was flowing from my ears and eyes ... Damn, it was getting dark in my eyes, it looks like I'm losing my coz ...

Darkness ... I don't know how long I spent so much time, but I woke up not where I passed out. I looked around. It looks like this is the shared cabin where I usually sleep, with North snoring nearby. I shook it:

- North!

- Uh, I don't sleep, I don't sleep! - The sleepy pirate groaned.

- How long have I been in the otrubon?

The redhead rubbed his eyes and yawned:

- Yes, about ten hours. How did you manage that?

I waved my hand:

- Yes so, overexerted with will. Thank. Go to sleep, I'm fine already.

- Are you sure? North asked seriously.

I nodded.

- Completely, now everything is normal.

- Okay. - North yawned and started to leave.

I got up and went out on deck. Eh, fresh air ...

- Hey, are you already awake? - - A voice was heard not far.

- Yeah. - I said, and turned: - Did you miss?

Zoro chuckled.

- What else, then only Nami threw panic, forced us to guard you, the cook is already asleep for about three hours, and the bony one replaced him, it looks like my turn is canceled.

I smiled:

- How caring. By the way, did you buy the katanas?

- And then, look. Zoro pulled two familiar katanas from his belt and showed them.

Heh, he still took them, well, Ippon-Matsu did not disappoint.

- Good blades. I nodded.

We chatted a little more with Zoro, but then he went to bed, and I finally decided to test the strength of the fruit, was it not for nothing that I suffered so much?

Let's start!

-Huu, not bad! - I took off without any problems. Yes, now I can safely fly, I do not even feel any problems with maintaining myself in the air, I can even fight calmly, only the problem is in the movements a little, nevertheless it would be useful to study Geppo, for quick movements and pushing away from the air. Although I can use Soru in the air, it comes out a little crooked, it's worth practicing with it.

Taak, and now ...

* Shuu *

I started to lift the ship into the air, but I was able to lift it only a little, yet its weight is too huge, but I am already close to lifting it.

- Hey, what the hell? Have you lifted the ship ?! Zoro shouted. It looks like I didn't have time to sleep.

- A little, but the strength is still not enough.

Zoro sighed.

- Hoo, yeah, these fruits are still that splinter.

I laughed:

- I suggested that you find one on the Grand Line, now agree?

The swordsman chuckled:

"What else, I need these fruits, I'll become the strongest swordsman, and I don't need anything except katanas."

I smiled and said:

- As you want, if you change your mind, just tell me.

Zoro said nothing, waved his hand and left.

In principle, I understand him, why do you need a fruit if you have a sword? But I'm not a swordsman, and my system is not sharpened for swords, I like two-handed blades, but I'm not going to become a swordsman, Zoro showed me a couple of stances and techniques, but all of them are not for two-handed blades. So I decided to put the sword on the shelf until better times, so to speak. I will develop gravity and martial arts, thanks to the system I have all the opportunities for this. And training with North and Sanji helps a lot, one waves his fists well, and the other kicks, and Zoro is not bad at that. Therefore, I am quite determined in my fighting style at the moment, as the teacher said, fists suit me best, so now fists and gravity are my weapons, and then it will be seen.

Okay, I will still need to test my new strength on land, pulling stones and remember rocks. Well, while we sleep, we will be sailing away tomorrow.

***

- Well, everything is ready? - I asked the team.

- Yes, everything is assembled, we are all ready, it remains to change the ship, for a more reliable one. - Answered by Nami.

I nodded and said:

- Everything has already been done, I went to the shipyard yesterday and agreed, they have a good one for sale, they told me that they would prepare him a little for sailing to Paradise and it would be possible to pick it up, but now ... - I looked at the sun: - I think it's time to visit the shipbuilder.

Recently, I learned a little navigation from Nami, so now I can tell the time by the sun, and I can swim in East Blue if I have a map and a compass. In the past world, I studied a little astronomy at the university, but that knowledge was not applicable in this world, there are completely different celestial bodies, so navigating by the stars is not an option if you do not know them. Yes, and everything else here was not so, in short, I did not bother and learn a lot, I was tired of this in the past world, for this we have Nami, and I can turn the steering wheel. Although it is also necessary to be able to, especially on the Grand Line and in the New World, can you find a helmsman?

Okay, that later, now there are more important things to do ...

***

With the ship, the matter was quickly resolved, at the shipyard it was laundered and patched up, I paid and we parted.

The ship was quite good, a two-masted vessel with several separate cabins, a kitchen and a hold, just for our crew, for the first time. In the future, of course, it is worth changing it, it is undignified to sail to the New World on this one.

- Well, that's all, is everyone ready? - I asked the team with a smile.

- Ready.

- Yeah.

- We sailed already ...

I grinned and said:

- Well, if you are ready, then ... Set sail! Heading to the Grand Line!

Grand Line, I'm coming!
