Common days at Going Merry, and training begins.

"Foolish and idiotic pirates. Do you still have the audacity to attack Going Merry, knowing that it is captained by the invincible Captain Usopp?" I was on the coast, but I knew that Usopp was coming for me.

"Fight, and start the arduous battle." Usopp screams, so that was my cue.

"Zehahahahahahaha. Usopp the fool, you are just a nobody .. Invincible? You are just a mediocre pirate ... I the Great Pirate Kotarou, I will claim Going Merry as mine." I turn to look at Usopp, he was using a wooden sword ... As for me, to emphasize the joke, I used a black cloak and an eye patch, in my right eye, I was also equipped with a sword.

"Do you challenge me to a fight? ... You fool, Morra." Usopp then attacks me ...

Yes ... we were kidding .... Don't judge me ... On a ship with nothing to do, without internet, I have to find something to do .... Zoro sleeps all day, Nami only looks at maps, Luffy from time to time he plays too ... This is life at Going Merry ...

"You were strong .... But I am inevitable ... I recognize you as a real pirate ... I will let you live, but I will take Going Merry as mine. Zehahahahahahahaha." Usopp was defeated, I was sitting on his back ...

"You get too heavy on the joke, Kotarou .... But it was fun." Well, it was, it's fun to play with Usopp, besides it's not just a game, while fighting with Usopp is a mini workout, for me and for him.

"IS READY." I hear Luffy screaming and raising a flag to the sky ...

"Look, guys. Our pirate flag is ready. With Usopp and Merry we are now 5 and a ship. It was time to have our jolly roger." My god ... Is that a jolly roger? ... Even I can do something better than that Luffy ....

"But is this our pirate flag?" Changing my vision to Zoro, I see that he is fine ... Afraid? .... He is sweating a lot ...

"That's right." Luffy did not seem to understand that his drawing is ridiculous.

"As far as I know, a Jolly Roger is a symbol of death and terror." Zoro is getting worse .....

"Luffy, this is awful ...." I couldn't help saying ...

"This flag is rated 10 in the terrible aspect, but it is what we have for today, right?." You can't accept that Nami, we are going to be laughing. I see that Zoro also looks at Nami with despair.

"Nich Nich. You were just talking to me before. Did you happen to forget that you have a brilliant painter here?" Usopp finally makes his appearance ... Really, Usopp is a genius guy ...

Then Usopp talks about being a painter for 50 years ... Usopp, are you an old man then? I think everyone had that opinion, and Usopp looked upset.

Usopp starts to paint Jolly Roger. First he paints a Jolly Roger with his face, which Luffy and Zoro respond with a punch to the head. Then he paints Jolly Roger from straw hats. Did I say that Usopp is great? It is very useful for making trinkets.

"Ohhhhh. It looks amazing Usopp." I couldn't help commenting after he finished drawing the flag.

"Yeah, it was really nice." Did Usopp want to be humble?

"Ah, stop. She looks great." That was Nami.

"Yeah, I like it. You look cute." So you know how to differentiate when it is beautiful or not? ....

"You mean this will be our pirate flag?" Zoro seemed to have something on his mind.

"Okay, paint it on the candle too, Usopp." Luffy, you didn't do anything, you know? ...

"Ruuuuuuuuu." Usopp, can you paint this yourself? ... Ah, fuck, I'll help him.

"I will give you a Usopp hand." I have nothing to do for now.

"Ohhhhh, Thanks Kotarou. Come on." Usopp looked really grateful ...

After that, we painted our candle with the Jolly Roger of the straw hats ... It was really beautiful ... The candle was black too ... Going Merry was complete.

Our next stop was the Treasure Island, where we met Gaimon and the bizarre animals that were on the island ... There was a chicken wolf ... And other types of animals, it was very weird ... Gaimon was a man in prison for 20 years in a chest, we couldn't even remove his chest, otherwise he could die ... He told us his story, it was very sad. Even more so when Luffy sought the treasures.

When Luffy said he wouldn't hand over the treasure, everyone was angry, even Zoro looked kind of like that. I can understand, they joined the crew a short time ago, no matter how much they go through struggles and battles, they still distrusted Luffy's personality, Nami distrusted pirates, Usopp joined the crew now. Zoro seemed to be getting used to it and better understanding who Luffy is, but he still was suspicious of actions like that, but it seems that he soon understood why Luffy did not hand over the treasure.

Well I? ... Luffy doesn't think before he speaks, so his sentence was uncomfortable for the ear, and you can misunderstand if you don't know who Luffy is. But I knew Luffy. Be in the anime and now in real life, and he was the same in both ... So I had my hands on my head, I was the most relaxed at that moment.

The events after that made the rest of the crew, especially Zoro, understand better about Luffy's character.

The next events were, Luffy trying to invite Gaimon to the crew, which he refused, and then we left the island for our next stop.

===========================

A few days after we left the treasure island, that's when I started my training to learn Kuro's technique. I spent the first days not only playing, I was spending that time organizing the records of previous fights, especially Kuro, when he used the death spoon. With my Akuma no Mi, I was able to record his movements at that moment, but to find out what movements he used, I had to spend a lot of time stopping and cutting. It was almost like editing a video.

"I FINALLY GOT IT." I couldn't help shouting loudly inside the ship. That's because today, I finally managed to complete the complete registration of Kuro's technique.

"Time to test." Each of the straw hats did something, so they paid no attention to me.

I arrived in the most open space of the Ship, and started to start the Kuro technique, my record working perfectly ... The technique was Okay, my speed really improved to absurd ... I managed to get to the other side of the ship, so fast that I didn't I thought it was possible ... I tested it a few more times and realized the limitation of what I was doing ...

"Ahhhh .... Ah .... What the shit ..." As much as I can make the same movements as Kuro, I am not Kuro ... My physique is inferior, my body is not used to such action. .. Using the technique for simple moments was enough to tire me out completely, the muscles used for this technique were very painful.

It reminds me of a sports anime I watched, Baby staps, a Tennis anime. The protagonist in a match, copied the opponent's movements, thus learning to serve properly ... The problem was that the coach stopped the fight because of this, he explained that his body was not prepared for that, and if he continued he could an injury occurs ...

I don't have that problem. My physique is one of One Piece, my recovery and body hardness are much better than in my previous world. But that memory showed me something. My body was not prepared to use this technique with total efficiency ... If I used it in a fight, it would hinder more than it would help ...

Well, my registration will help me with this, because of my Akuma no Mi, I know which muscles to work on, and what to do to prepare for this technique ... Time to prepare my training regime ...

"Hoooo. Come on." All this time that I was thinking, my body was lying, when I tried to get up, my aching legs made me fall face down to the floor ....

"Huu .... I have a lot to improve even ..." And that was the beginning of my training.
