Cero just went straight to the dormitory after working at Mermaid Cafe. Camie sometimes goes to his room to converse with him. Cero was glad that he has someone to talk to. As he remembers in his past world that nobody wants to talk to him, almost being an outcast. He was thankful even it was an anime world character talk he can talk to.

I went to sleep after talking to Camie for so long. Talking to her is enjoyable as she mentions the time she spent with the Straw Hat Pirates. She said the foods that Sanji cooked were the best and how he interacts with the female members of the crew saying like "Nami-SWAN~~ Robin-CHWAN~~" with hearts on his eyes. And also said that Chopper is cute and when you praise him he says while dancing."Complimenting me like that doesn't make me happy, jerk."

When I woke up I started my usual routine with 3x gravity now as I can handle it. I went to the Sea Forest to train. While I was training someone was slowly approaching me. I turned around and saw a slim-looking bright yellow-skinned Fish-Man with medium-length, puffy orange hair, and a long and squarish neck with a small beard. His facial features are quite sinister: they include a long and sharp beak-like muzzle, razor-like teeth, and dark, glaring eyes. He stared at me and shouted. "So... you were here always huh... ~~Hamo Hamo Hamo~~(his laughter style btw)"

"May I help you?" I pretended to be innocent. As if I don't know him. Luckily I watched One Piece and knew he was. He was Hammond a member of the New Fish-Man Pirates. The one enslaving the humans. He did not reply and just pulled and fired a rifle with trawl nets.

The trawl nets fired were fast but I was faster. I use Shunpo arriving on the side of Hammond, coated my right hand with Armament Haki. Hit him in the face and he was sent flying. When Hammond tried to stand up. He was punched again by Cero in the abdomen. Coughing blood he struggled to resist, but it only met again with Cero's fist in the face. Knocked out cold. I just continued training while Hammond was laying on the ground.

After training, I just left Hammond there as I use Shunpo back to the dormitory. Took a shower, change my clothes, went to work. Hours have passed in the cafe. The customers are well behaved as always as my title as "Red-Eyed Waiter" is still effective. People who want a commotion don't even go to the cafe. As for my first victim stopped going near the cafe.

Back then, before fighting Hammond the system rang."New Task: Beating Hammond Reward: Get 1 Item from the Store." After beating Hammond. I completed the task. Browsing the Store. I finally bought the Conqueror's Haki. Currently, the Conqueror's Haki can not knock out a selected group of individuals without affecting any of the bystanders, but with time he will control it. The system rang again.

New Major Task: Destroy the New Fish-Man Pirates Reward: Bankai (Daiguren Hyōrinmaru)

I read it and was surprised for seeing my first major task

Cero can't say even anything to the system but he was looking forward to the reward. my Bankai!

While I was in my thoughts, Madam Shyarly interrupted him."Cero, Prince Fukaboshi is looking for you." I was surprised that a Prince is personally looking for me. I went out and saw Prince Fukaboshi. An enormous, muscular shark merman, with a wide chest and large arms. He has a long face, framed by wavy fair blue hair flowing down to his shoulders, a sharp and pointy nose, and a dot of some sort printed on the middle of his forehead. He has gills on his massive neck and a dark blue tail with light blue polka-dots. We both stared at each other then I broke the silence. "May I kindly ask why the Prince wants to see an ordinary." I politely asked.

Prince Fukaboshi replied."My father wants to see the person behind the name of "Red-Eyed Waiter" but your eyes are light green." I did not say anything and just closed my eyes. I activated my Two-tomoe Sharingan. Opened my eyes and looked at the Prince.

As soon as Prince Fukaboshi made contact with my eyes, he became intimidated as seconds passed by he still looks into my eyes. I said to him."Is the Prince satisfied with what he is seeing right now?" Prince did not say anything, he just nods. I retract the Sharingan and went to the back of Cafe.

While Prince Fukaboshi was still daze after staring him. He can't help but feel scared of him. As looking to his eyes feels that I am a prey confronting a Predator.

As Cero went back, he starts to plan how will he destroy the New Fish-Man Pirates. Will he do it secretly or just run directly to the enemy. Currently, Cero's Zanpakuto is Hyōrinmaru. he can now use some of its abilities. Cero just thinks about how to destroy the enemies alone. As he finished thinking, he went off work and went directly to the sea forest to test his abilities. When he was there. he tried to combine his abilities, like adding ice to his Getsuga Tenshou or cladding the ice of Hyorinmaru with Armament Haki. When he fought Hammond, he felt that he was lucky to beat him as I caught his off guard, but fighting their officers with be harder than Hammond many times.

After testing his abilities, He Shunpo back to the Mermaid Cafe went to Madam Shyarly and asked her."Madam Shyarly may I take a break tomorrow. I will work back after tomorrow." she asked me back."Hmm... It's unusual for you to take a break... can I know why?"

I can't just say that I will wreak havoc at Fish-Man District because the system asked me to. I just said that."I just want to have a day off." Madam Shyarly stares at me like wut? then she just waved her hand and say."Okay..."

As I went back to the dormitory, Camie introduced me to her friend Pappag. An orange starfish that appears to be stitched along his outline. His face is in the middle of his body and he wears a hat similar to a tam hat or rasta cap. He said."Camie, so this friend huh... Nice to meet ya." We both exchange greetings. And now I have a new person to talk to.

When we finished talking, Pappag part ways with Camie saying that he will be back next time. I went to sleep. Then woke up the next day. Go to Sea Forest as always. Went back. and preparing for battle. I wore a hood covering my body. Slowly went to the Fishman District. Arrived at the destination.

I look up as I enter a new battlefield.
