The Devil Fruit Collector

' Where in the hell am I?'

{ I shall answer that and if you wish to live Shut up and listen. You are in One Piece in Syrup Village a week before Usopp meets the Strawhats your power is the ability to steal and permanently absorb strength,speed,stamina,skills and techniques, Haki and Devil fruits included. You may also permanently give these to people as well. Before you ask yes abilities and techniques you acquire can be trained like any other, Haki and Devil fruits again included however dormant or inactivated power cannot be stolen, race specific skills also cannot be stolen. You have not absorbed any power so you are only as strong as an Average in shape adult male. Bonus about your ability any Devil fruits you absorb are counted as extensions of your power so you don't gain the weakness to water and sea prism stone. Your suit is indestructible so is your helmet however they can be cut,shot or punched through they will just regenerate, both are also able to be called back to your body instantly at anytime.}

' You done? Hello? Hellooooo? Ok guess he is gone. Well with these abilities I can do anything and getting into the Strawhat crew is definitely easy. All I have to do is show Luffy something cool and he will be like "" WOW join my crew!!"" like he does all the time in early One Piece.'

Mark walks towards the town slowly as he does three kids run into him.

" Watch it kids." Mark growls out making all 3 of the kids fall to the ground scared.

" Hey what did you do to them?!" Mark turns to see Usopp running towards them

" I didn't do anything these kids bummed into me and fell down so calm down you idiot!" Mark yells at the long nosed coward

" Haha oh sorry sir, say sorry guys." Usopp says to the kids

" Yes Captain, Sorry sir." the kids spoke in unison as they also all bowed

" Yea no problem, just make sure to watch where you're going next time." Mark says disinterestedly as he continues his walk

" Oh wait, you long nose."

" What?"

"Where is the nearest restaurant?"

" Oh just follow the road and the third building on the left when you enter town."

" Thanks kid." Mark finishes the conversation as he walks off

10 minutes later Mark stops at the restaurant and realizes something

' Shit I have no money.' he thinks but thankfully it was late so a pair of drunk men were laughing and talking while walking home. ' Well I'll be damned it would seem god gave me a good chance to use my new power.' Mark thinks while he strolls over to the two laughing men

" Yo," Mark yells while waving at the men " Hey can I ask you all something."

" Yea sure what's up?"

" I just wanted to know who lives up in that mansion on the hill? Sorry I'm new here."

" Oh no problem it's just Ms.Kaya she usually never leaves though, the girl's always sick." RG#1 says

" Oh well thanks gentlemen have a nice night and nice to meet you two." Mark says while looking around, seeing no one Mark walks between the two men and grabs their necks

" Ack Hey what are you doing, put us down or else." RG#2

" Sorry men I just need to try this, again you seem nice, sorry." Mark says while smiling at the men and then without another word he absorbs both of their, well everything really. After a few seconds both of the men's bodies drop to the ground life less and skeleton like

" So that's what it does when I do a full drain I will keep it in mind to only take only one thing or just a bit of everything when I don't want to kill them." Mark muses as he drags the two skeletons down the road and tosses them into the large garbage bin behind the restaurant after taking their money of course.

Walking into the restaurant he sits down and the Bartender comes over

" What would you like?"

" I want your best Sake and the location of a hotel I can stay at." Mark says to the man

" Yea give me a minute." The Bartender says as he goes to make a drink

After a few minutes he comes back with some Sake

" Here and it's not really a hotel but they rent out the house and it's down the road about 6 buildings down and then go to the other side of the street." The Bartender tells Mark. Quickly finishing his drink Mark puts down the cup and thanks the Bartender giving him the 20 berries and walking out.

Seeing the house Mark quickly walks over to see a sign on the door that says

"" To rent house walk two doors down and knock on the front door.""

Walking briskly Mark arrives at the door and knocks. The door opens and inside he sees an older lady sitting at a desk

" Why hello are you here to rent that house down the road?"

" I am how much is it for 7 nights?"

" 70 copper."

"ok here."

" Thank you have a nice day."

' Oh man that's almost all of my money thankfully I can get more easily if I try. But I have to be careful because if I do anymore of what I did today people would get susp especially in a small town like this.' Mark thinks as he lays down in the bed of his newly rented home.
