Bonus Chapter!!

Gerald POV

I was now training with Andrew on the Skills called Rokushiki.

I have successfully learned Soru with his help.

This was also due to the fact of the liquid or Elixir that Andrew called that he gave me two weeks back. I did not ask where he got that from as I know I would not get an answer for it.

When I drank it, I felt prickles all over my body, not only my skin but also my organs.

It was all healing.

My injuries even the healed fractures were restored. All my internal injuries were all beginning to be healed. I felt as if I am going back to my peak condition.

I was laying on a bed as the process continued and Andrew was taking notes and making sure nothing was happening to me. Andrew had set up a medical area in the base after we returned home from the hospital.

He did ask me before I drank whether I am ready for it.

Andrew had also made sure before we even started the process.

He took the Elixir for himself and could see the changes made to his entire body.

An odor came out from Andrew which was the worse smell I have experienced. And this is coming from someone from the Military. I have lived in shitty places along with my comrades.

And it was the same for me as well. As the process was going on, healing all my injuries and not only that I felt something in my head and since that day my thought process and my reaction time have increased. It was 4 times my peak condition.

"Geppo is similar to Soru, here you will be moving your legs with high force to compress the air, and using that you propel yourself to the air."

Andrew was now teaching me the technique to make myself walk on air.

I could perceive the changes that were occurring as Andrew was using Geppo and I started to do the same. This would not have been possible without that Elixir. I have been going on about this for a week and I have yet to make any progress but I feel I am close to doing it.

"You need to be careful when you use this technique. One mishap and you can say goodbye to your legs for months." Andrew said with a solemn face.

"Sir, the results are ready." We both heard Zestia's voice from my phone.

"Go, I will train myself here, and don't worry I won't start before you get back here," I said to him.

Andrew looked at me before nodding and heading back to the base.

Andrew POV

Close to 4 weeks have gone by since the day we heard the news in Hawaii.

A week after we returned, I was able to access the dungeon again.

Everything went the same, well not the same as I was able to take care of Cyrus within minutes due to the increase in power and Devil Fruit abilities.

This time in the dungeon, I was more focused on collecting the ingredients required for me to create the Elixir. I got myself close to 30 batches of each ingredient and once they were in my Inventory, they combined themselves and became 30x Elixirs.

When I came out of the Dungeon, I created a medical area in the base for me to work on the Elixir. I know the ingredients are not from this world but I started to go through plants, chemicals that have similar properties to the ingredients in my world. There was a total of 10 ingredients for the Elixir to be made and I was only able to find 4 similar to the ingredients.

I first started to test the Elixir on animals and the result was well and good as it healed all the injuries as well as able to stimulate the growth of missing limbs but the same could not be said for Humans.

For Humans, I went after the ones in my hospital and used them on patients with organ failure, missing limbs, brain injuries, and many more.

It only failed for Missing limbs, whereas for Brain Injuries it started to heal them but stopped after some time and I could see if I use more then it will be able to recover the injuries to the Brain.

Every patient sends out an odor that was unbearable for me.

After a week of testing on animals and humans, I took it for myself. Though I had taken this in the Dungeon it did not have any effect on me in my world.

It created wonders.

Though I have Roger's Template and my muscles also becoming strong just like Roger's after the Template Experience Increases, I did have negligible injuries if let it be might become a problem in the future. After I ate the Sun-Sun Fruit it slowly started to heal these Injuries but the progress was too slow as I did not have great control over the Fruit's healing properties.

Once I took the Elixir, all my injuries healed and it also increased my ability and control over Solar Manipulation, and not only that, I was now able to sense another kind of Energy if not wrong it should be Gravitational Energy.

I am yet to have grasped control over it but it brought the much-needed joy that I have not had for a month.

Other than that, Helen and her company accepted the next day after she departed from the hospital and now the research progress was going faster than before. I was also meeting with them once or twice a week and working together on the research. If I did not have Batman's memories, I don't think I will be able to keep up with the terminology that comes out of each researcher's mouth. Helen is a genius similar to Stark in her field. She was doing a process that takes a year within a week or two. And after I and a team of researchers who worked in the same field joined, the progress of the research started to increase.

Ray also has asked me to train him. I gave the task to Gerald and Gerald has been making schedules for it and soon Ray will come to my house. I asked Claire whether I train Mike but she refused as she first wanted him to know what the world is. Her father had already started taking Mike in some of the meetings. I give Mike time off as well when he asks for it. This does not stop him from doing all the work I give him in the company.

Right now, I am heading to the base as I started to feel an increase in energy and strength in my body. I know this is because of the Sun-Sun Fruit but I needed to know how it is affecting my body.

I entered the base and took a seat in the chair.

"Show me."

"Right away, sir."

The screens showed the results of my blood and DNA.

"This is the first test that we have taken sir. The results show that your cells have started to mutate albeit slowly. If my process is not wrong, this began the day you have taken the Fruit. It started to modify your cells and give them the ability to absorb, generate and control the Sun's energy. At this moment each of your cells can manipulate Solar which is Heat and Light and from the training and fights you have been having, you generate both of these energies but Heat Energy shadows the Light Energy. That's why you think that you are not using Light Energy."

I interrupted her before she could continue again.

"You are saying my cells are becoming…" I was excited. I know where this was going as I am a Geneticist and I wanted Zestia to be the one to complete the sentence and that she did.

"Yes, sir. Your cells are mutating itself to become the Sun."

"The process will take a long-time sir. You will have to manipulate each of the Sun's energy for the cells to become a Sun. But they won't be able to produce what the Sun is producing. They will only be able to produce 1/100th of what the Sun provides. But in time, you will be a walking Sun. The time is a minimum of thousands of years. But for this to even begin you have to manipulate all the Sun's energy and absorb a part of it to mutate your cells. And once your cells have absorbed all types of the Sun's energy it will slowly start to produce the same amount of energy a Sun produces inside you."

"Is there any way to increase the process?"

"It is up to you sir. The more you use, the more you control, the more you absorb, the faster it becomes."

A wide smile grew on my face as I heard Zestia.

'Not only do I have a Template of the Pirate King but now I have the strongest Fruit that will not stop its growth. Is Whitebeard's Devil Fruit strong or mine is? Did his cells also change to his Devil Fruit's ability as well?'

I calmed myself down.

'This begs the question, what will happen if I eat a Logia Fruit? Will it destroy what I have now or will it combine and adapt with the existing Devil Fruit? Hmm… I will think about this later when I get one.'

"Delete all the information Zestia."

"Done, sir."

"Has the Hand made a move yet?"

"I have been following with Madame Gao and Nobu. Both of them are yet to act."

"Okay update me and Gerald. I will be going now, take care."

"Thank you, sir."

I left and got back to Gerald.

After this, for the next two hours, I was training with Gerald with a break of a few minutes in the middle for Gerald to replenish his stamina.

Gerald was lying down on the grass and I was meditating and trying to get control over the Gravitational Energy.

"Are you planning to use the Elixir on Ray's Mother, Ms. Andrea?"

I opened my eyes and looked at Gerald who questioned me.

"Yes, I am planning to do that."

"Will you tell Ray about this?"

"Not now, eventually I will," as I was about to continue. I got a call it was from Mike.

"Bro, need some documents to be signed, I will be coming there along with Claire."

"Sure, how's the product update going on?"

"Testing is still going and it should be completed in two weeks. We are introducing a completely new feature in the phone and many would want to upgrade. I am planning to open mini hotspots around the country to make it faster for the users to get the update."

"That's good. What about other countries?"

"Since we have headquarters in most countries, I am planning to do it there directly rather than creating hotspots for the upgrades as I am doing here."

"Okay. When you come, buy an American Cheese Supreme Large meal from McDonald's, buy 2."

"Alright, I will see you soon."

Gerald showed me an expression saying really?

"What? I just felt like eating it, if you don't want, I will take yours."

"Not happening, call him and ask him to buy 2 more. Our Appetite has increased a lot and one is not sufficient."

"We have the meat I will make our dinner using that. And it fills our void."

"Okay, continue?"

I nodded and we began combating. Yes, our appetite has increased a lot and for me, it is way more. The meat is the Sea King's meat that I am now getting from my daily quest and I have to say it tastes good and it is the only thing that can satiate me. It also provides nutrients that increase the body's natural ability to heal, it increases stamina slowly and the last one is increasing my growth spurt.

At Andrew's house.

Mike and Claire had arrived an hour back.

I had already signed the documents that needed to be signed after going through them.

I was now making dinner using the Sea King's meat and its aroma was intoxicating for the couple, I could see Mike drooling as he was looking at the kitchen.

"Where did you get this meat?" Claire asked.

"Trade secret," I replied letting the meat be mysterious.

"Bro, come on say it," Mike gulped as he asked me.

"I will one day, BTW, how's the lunch with Claire's father, Mike?"

That question made Mike standstill.

"I think it went well, Claire here has not yet disclosed what her father thought of me,"

I looked at Claire and could see her stoic expression.

"Come on, disclose it, see my brother here might piss his pants if you drag it," I chuckled as I said that.

"Well, he accepted, but he will keep looking into this and that is not something I like. I know he is my father and all but keeping an eye all the time, I don't like that and now that Mike is going to some of the meetings along with my father he is evaluating him more and yeah time will tell."

Mike relaxed as he heard her and went for a steamy kiss.

"Someone doesn't want to eat today."

Both of them stopped and looked at me.

"Well you can also go on date's with Helen but you are not even going for it and she does asks Claire a lot about what you think about her," said Mike.

Before I could reply, Gerald came with a solemn face.

"I will be back guys."

Both Mike and Claire could feel the change in atmosphere.

I went to him and asked, "What happened?"

"Nobu"
