Devil Fruit

The second I took a bite out of the devil fruit in my hands I immediately wanted to spit it out.

Oda wasn't lying.

Devil fruits taste like shit.

Worse than shit actually.

I can't even begin to describe the horrible taste in my mouth right now. Feels like my taste buds are getting murdered.

Seriously, I want to hurl.

But I want devil fruit powers more.

So using all my willpower I sucked it up and chewed up the bits of devil fruit in my mouth and then swallowed.

Then immediately after I did so I dropped the fruit and started spitting up onto the ground.

"Gross." I said in between spitting.

Whatever being decided to make devil fruits taste that way is a super sadist for sure. Since only they would think up such a way to make people's mouths suffer in such a manner.

But at least now that suffering is over.

Once I could feel my mouth returning to normal I looked at the devil fruit, and saw it transform back into a regular pineapple.

'I guess that's what happens when a person eats part of a devil fruit to gain its power.' I thought.

Then immediately after I did so I stood up from the ground.

I then moved into the forest.

Since now I have the powers of a devil fruit and want to test them.

But doing so by that cliff would have been a stupid move.

Since I have no idea what devil fruit I just ate. If I got a volatile power and somehow managed to blow up the cliff I was standing on, then I would have taken a header into the ocean which is instant death for me now.

So yeah, learning about my devil fruit powers in the forest it is.

After walking for five minutes I reached a clearing in the forest.

Then once I did so I got to work.

Closing my eyes I tried to feel something inside of me.

I did that for ten minutes straight but no changed occurred. So I opened my eyes.

Once I did so I stared striking some poses trying to get my power to activate. Whatever it is.

But nothing worked.

Twenty minutes of trying and I had nothing to show for it.

"Fuck!" I muttered angrily. Stomping on the ground as I did so.

Despite having died as an adult in my last life being a kid again has messed with my emotional maturity.

That's why I'm throwing a tantrum right now.

I continued stomping on the ground, angry that my devil fruit powers won't activate.

"Dammit work!" I shouted.

Then as soon as I did so something happened.

Lightning of all things shout out of my left hand and struck a nearby tree.

When it did so I went from angry to scared and fell on my ass.

"What the hell?" I muttered to myself. "Did I just shoot lightning?" I questioned.

Even though I already know the answer to the question.

I definitely did just shoot lighting out of my palm.

Which means the fruit I ate is definitely not a zoan or an ancient-zoan. So that only leaves me three choices.

Paramecia, mythical-zoan, or logia.

"Wait, did I perhaps eat the Rumble-Rumble fruit before Enel?" I asked myself. Standing back to my feet as I did so.

Wanting to test my theory I held up my left palm and then thought about lightning again. A second after I did so it shot forth from my hand and struck another tree.

But unlike a moment ago another change has taken place.

My left hand has transformed into something else entirely.

A white and foamy substance.

Looking at my transformed left hand I titled my head and examined it. Finding its resemblance uncanny to the things currently floating above my head in the sky.

I'm talking about the clouds.

Right now my hand looks like a cloud.

"Wait a minute." I muttered to myself. "Maybe I didn't eat the Rumble-Rumble fruit, but a different and even more powerful fruit." I said.

As soon as I did so I moved to test my theory.

Thinking about strong winds I aimed my cloud resembling left hand at the trees again, and then a few seconds after I did so strong winds blew from my palm and slammed into the tree.

"Ok. Next up is snow." I said.

I then raised my right-hand and thought it blowing snow. A few seconds after I did so my right hand also transformed into a cloud-like substance and then a mini blizzard shout out of it and struck some more nearby trees.

As soon as I saw this I put a bright smile on my face.

Since my theory was just confirmed.

I have not eaten the Rumble-Rumble fruit, but a different devil fruit.

One with a lot more potential.

Whatever forces are at work in this world saw fit to allow me to eat the logia-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit.

A powerful devil fruit that was talked about a lot on the fanon One Piece websites back in my last life.

A logia-type devil fruit. The Cloud-Cloud fruit allows one to turn into, manipulate, and generate clouds. The clouds one generate from this fruits power can be made harder or softer based on its consumers mastery over it.

But that's not all.

Clouds encompass a lot of aspects, more specifically they encompass the weather.

Like I just proved creating lighting, wind, and a mini blizzard.

Consuming the Cloud-Cloud fruit means that I can now control aspects of the weather. I can conjure lightning, gale force winds, blizzards and hail, even fog and probably even rain.

Luck was seriously on my side this time.

I've just gained the powers of one of the most powerful devil fruits around.

Getting a huge grin on my face I will my hands back to normal and then started jumping for joy.

Since today has been the best day I've had in a long time.

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

In class with my fellow orphans I paid attention as the teacher wrote down notes on the board.

A week has passed since I discovered which devil fruit I ate.

Every day I go out into the forest and train my powers.

It's a super slow-going process.

But I am making progress at least, which is what matters in the long run.

I have no idea what I want to do in the future yet, but at least now my options are better. Since having powerful devil fruit abilities will open doors for me completely sealed off before.

Though what most of those sealed doors are I have no idea.

Guess I just have to wait and see.

The teacher finished writing notes on the board and then turned to face us.

"Ok students, please write this down." He asked us.

We all nodded.

We then picked up the pencils sitting on our desks and then started writing down the notes.

Funny thing, school in the One Piece universe it just like it was in my last life. The only difference is that there is no central education system in this world and most kids stop going to school at thirteen years old after learning the basics to get through life.

Arithmetic, writing, and reading.

Hell some kids don't even go to school.

But since I have been attending school for the past five years I figure I might a well finish out.

I've got nothing else to do right now after all.

My fellow students and I continued taking down notes.

But we were interrupted when a loud ringing sound suddenly occurred.

*Ding Ding*

We all knew that sound well.

It was the town warning bell.

Signaling that pirates were approaching the island.

An event that hasn't happened in the past ten years since I've been reborn here.

Despite this everyone is still taught to recognize the warning signs. Since most pirates in the One Piece world aren't like the ones shown in the anime.

No, they are scum whose crimes would probably make the most hardened criminal throw up their intestine quite easily.

Since whenever the adults on the island have mentioned pirates a lot of them start visibly shaking with fear.

Telling me all I need to know.

"Children, evacuate!" The teacher shouted.

The moment he did so we abandoned our note-taking and then started following the established procedure.

We all stood up from our seats and filed out of the room in the orphanage we were using as a classroom.

Once we did this our teacher then led us outside and started marching us towards the town hall.

Which is where everyone meets up the moment the warning bell is signaled.

As we made our way towards the town hall we passed by an ally, and when we did so I split off from the group.

Quite easily in fact since I was at the back of the line.

I know this is an insanely stupid move, but I want to catch a glimpse of the pirates.

Besides if it comes down to it I can use my devil fruit powers to escape. I am at least good enough with them to manage that.

Moving through the ally I quickly made my way to the islands only port.

The moment after I did so I used a stack of boxes and climbed onto a nearby roof.

I then sat down and gazed out at the ocean in front of me, spotting the pirate ship sailing towards our port instantly.

The moment I spotted said ship my jaw hit the floor.

Because the ship currently heading towards our island is the Oro Jackson.

I would never forget that ship.

Since it is the ship used by the OG pirate king himself Gol D. Roger and his crew the Roger Pirates.

Who are sailing towards my home island right now.

All I can say is this.

Damn.
