And with that the coating on the ship began to rise up and engulfed the whole ship in a bubble of the coating and we weren't exactly now sailing we were sinking .
Wallace the Anchor .
Wallace is a fish-man with a stocky neck, light-colored hair that is slicked back and a light-colored mustache. He wears a light-colored, v-neck shirt, dark-colored shorts, and light-colored shoes. He has a tattoo on his left arm atthe words of Ace he jumped and in seconds surfaced on the deck again then nodded to me .
Good job , everyone should be very careful from now on if you see something suspicious report it immediately and try your best not to do any damage to the coating as that let's just say will make our adventure short everyone already know their tasks but first Banshee prepare a banquet to welcome our new crew member .
Aye aye Ace a welcoming party the newbie must be a very special person to you hehe and he is handsome too , the women who answered Ace was a portly woman, wearing a short sleeved blouse and dark pants with light polka dots on them , She was also wearing dark colored heels and is seen holding a flintock, She has long, wavy light colored hair with a dark bandanna that has light colored polka dots and she wears dark lipstick .
Ofcourse he is my younger brother .
Nice to meet you i'm new here so i will be counting on you guys so sorry for the trouble .
The man with the half billion bounty i thought he was some notorious giant or something horrendous but from his facial features i can tell he is still a kid tch he might be even more of a burden than Deuce is he really your brother Ace san ,the man who said this was called Ducky Bree he was a man of average height a muscular man with skinny libs and a sharp chin he had a pointed nose and shaggy dark-colored hair. He was looking at me with a down-turned mouth. He wore an open, dark-colored shirt with a pattern on the shoulders, dark-colored pants that leave his ankles exposed, dark-colored shoes, and a patterend headband .
Won't you know if i'm strong or not by just trying me .
He is really captain Ace brother back off before he really beat you up too Deuce said he sent a vice admiral flying with just a punch .
Ducky Bree : Well with all due respect Skull san Deuce tend to exaggerate a lot and that was showen in that poorly written adventure dairy of his .
The man that was called Skull was a man with an average build, a hairy chest, and long blue hair , He had an angular chin and a tattoo on his right arm, and he was standing with a slight slouch , He wore a cracked skull mask covering almost his whole face except his mouth and wore a red shirt with a skull pattern, bracelets on his wrists and left forearm, and a sash with a skull on it ,He also was wearing a black pants with a dark skull on the left leg, skull-shaped necklaces, and dark-colored boots. On his right hip, Skull sports a sword with a striped hilt and a dark sheath he looked as if he is a character from Sabondy Park horror house but i can tell he like chaos as his words were more taunting than calming .
Skull : i guess we will see soon right , Mihar? Mihar was a tall man with tan skin, light blonde hair, thin limbs and slight shoulders ,He had a tattoo on his left cheek. He wore a wide-brimmed, reddish-brown hat with a yellow band around the base of the crown, glasses, and a bright yellow, open jacket with a brown collar and cuffs. The sleeves of his jacket appear to be rolled up to his forearms. Underneath the jacket, he was wearing a white, low-cut shirt and His hands were covered in yellow gloves, and he wore a pink shorts with a dark belt and dark boots , Over the belt, he had a blue sash with a swirling pattern in orange and white .
Mihar : nice to meet you Ryuu kun don't pay them any minds they are just teasing you .
I nodded and was going to say my thanks when another rouge voice came i said a voice but it was more like a growl and i looked behind me to see a large lynx, as big as a fully grown panther. He had a hunched back, thin limbs, and a dark-colored belt .
Kotatsu is a good friend of mine but he is quite aggressive towards stranger Kota , Ryuu is a friend too .
I waved and he stopped growling and returned back to sleep .
I then was introduced to (Finamore - Hublot - Dogya - Kukai - Kimel - Saber - Leonero - Cornelia - Aggie 68 the man with a gatling strapped to one of his hand cool right - Barry - Ossamondo - and man from the longarm tribe Ganryu )
What do you think a mighty bunch don't you think a crew worthy of the next pirate king .
Do you want to be a pirate king too Ace does that mean you are going to search for the previous king of the pirates Gol D Roger the One Piece .
I noticed his mouth twitching and the smile on his face faded at the mention of the previous pirates king name as he said i will take a more direct way i will challenge the strongest man in the world Whitebeard .
Who is that ?
And all of the crew stumbled to the ground with Ducky Bree taking this as a chance to make fun of me : you are on a pirate ship heading to the New World not knowing anything about Whitebeard one of the four emperors of the sea i'm beginning to feel he is really another Deuce Skull san .
Skull : the Fishmen Island is claimed by him and even the government can't do anything about it but to just leave him be this should give you a picture of how strong he is not to mention he have a massive fleet under his command what are you scared now too late haaahaaa .
First Bree san should really stop saying like Deuce as if it's something bad Deuce san used his own strength to hold off a vice admiral for to allow Ace save as much civilians as he could from a blazing fire and second if you are really this curious about my strength we could have a quick spar right here and now .
Mihar : Ace you should put an end to this .
don't worry Mihar a quick spar against the newbie might be beneficial to give a heads up to the rest of the crew the new world watersonly respect those with strength after all .
You have my permission Good luck Bree you going to need it .
The rest of the crew made a big circle around us with Skull setting a stall and raising bets about who was going to come out victorious .
The bet was set with 17 bets on Bree wining and 3 for me and they were Mihar , Deuce , surprisingly Skull himself .
The match began with Bree trying to get the upper hand by trying to jump on me only to get a weakened but inhumanly fast blitz punch and as he collapsed while still in the air and crashed unconscious on the ground luckily for him i can now control my shockwave bubble a bit more or else that punch would have broke some few teeth .
An awkward atmosphere for a few seconds then the cheering began with some of the crew coming to check on Bree .
Skull san who are the other sea emperors .
Skull : Red-haired Shanks - empress Big Mom - King of the beasts Kaido .
I thought : those sea emperors already have this much freedom that they can even claim a whole island for themselves and put it under their protection without the Navy doing anything to retaliate against them how powerful must they be to even let the navy who have monsters like Admiral Aokiji bend the knee and just accept anything they do .
Skull : but since you knocked down Bree in one punch your strength is already clear to all of us i officially welcome your joining our crew i will look forward to work with you , and he gave me a handshake .
Are the food and drink for the banquet ready Banshee .
Coming right up and after a few minutes the table was set and food and drinks were served but i got a glass of orange juice , a banquet at the bottom of the sea a very cool new experience Bree finally woke up and just nodded at me and sat as well .
Cheers to our newest crew member Ryuu .
Cheers .
We finished the banquet and some were already sleeping and some were trying to sober up but to no avail so they joined the first team and went sleeping as well .
Luckily we have our own Fishman to lead us there safely he was the only one sober on the ship even Ace was sleep eating how was he able to acquire such a skill is really intriguing to me .
I get to a corner and looked outside the bubble and began to marvel at the beautiful scenery of the deep sea when Wallace came and said to me : enjoy it to the best you can in a few moments we will reach the deep dark part of the sea and if you are lucky you will be able to see the real magical scene .
I nodded at him and wanted to ask if he knew Fisher Tiger but he returned back to his position as the ship began to sink faster and he was right it was really a magical scene many fluorescent light all with different colours moving around the ship i wasn't able to pinpoint their shapes until i opened my fiery mode and those deep sea monsters with the fluorescent lights on top of their were huge some were even able to make their whole body shine with light trying to escape other predators adapting really create wonders .
A few seconds later a large deep sea king was approaching our ship i thought he was mistaking it for food and he would back off when he realized that it was actually a ship but how wrong was i he became angry after he realized that it wasn't food and wanted to pierce the ship with its huge jaws as he began dashing towards the ship Ziiiiiiinnnnggggg i used conqueror's haki to intimidate him to turn back and it worked he calmed down then returned to his hidden cave .
Wallace : we dodged a bullet there a sea king just tried to pierce the ship but at the last moment he retreated .
I was going to sleep but must because he was a Fishmen he can see in those dark parts of the sea but after this encounter and the crew current state i guess it will be a long time before i would be able to rest might as well start my training while enjoying the scenery .
I was coating parts of my arm with Haki trying to increase my mastery and skill when Ace woke up and asked : is that black thing on your hands related to your devil fruit power .
He really didn't know that what he used that time against Drew was Hak and he even have basic Observation Haki too and was able to see me coating my arms with Armament Haki i was contemplating in my mind but i still replied saying : no , this is Haki something Rayleigh taught me to use to be able to at least counter the Navy Admirals Logia devil fruit users with , don't tell me you didn't know of it you even used it in your fight against that vice admiral .
Haki!! And you said i already used it in my fight against Drew you might be confusing it with my full focused punch , what is this Haki thing exactly .
I began to explain to him the same way Rayleigh did with me .
So that's why my last few punches dealt more damage to Drew i was charging my strength with my will and adding it to my punches , how can i do it more willingly ?
I don't quite know myself as i'm new to Haki but try remember your feeling and intent that time and you might be able to use it more willingly this time .
Remember my feeling at that time , it worked it really worked so this is Haki looks strong and every strong man in the new world already have this kind of power our adventures are getting more exciting , both of Ace's hands were now cladded with Armament Haki adding to my shock how easy it was for him to be already at the stage coating both of his hands completely and on the first try as well he was already going to throw a punch but Wallace told him not to risk it .
You are amazing Ace you are already able to coat both of your hands with Haki with just me explaining it but i'm only able to coat only one of my fist and just barely .
Ryuu , i know you are strong even stronger than me but you lack two defects that i can decipher that hindering you from using the thing you call Haki efficiently the first is fighting experience gained from life threatening situations you see to reach here we fought so many life and death battles and even before that as a kid i was forced by circumstances to always be strong and to always be fighting which have something to do with the second reason hindering you , all those fights that i had helped me sharpening my will and spirit i can tell you have a big dream and already have a will to achieve it but you are willing to die more than you are willing to fight for that dream of yours quite confusing right but don't worry my little brother we will try to mend those defects through this long journey of ours , he said the last part with an assuring smile .
He wasn't the first person to tell me about those two defects Rayleigh did mention those defects came to be from my successive success either in escaping from Mary Geoise or forcing those local gangs in the Sabondy i guess i really understand what Rayleigh was trying to do by beating me that hard in our sparring he was trying to reawaken my will to fight for my dreams for my life , for anything that really matters to me and he kept on telling me that my fighting experience is shallow compared to those pirates who sailed through the first half of the Grand Line but my abilities is really strong that most of my opponents fell with only a punch and Rayleigh strength was way ahead of me by so much that i wasn't able to benefit that much in the experience part but my body did got more resilient and a lot stronger too .
And after that encounter with Admiral Aokiji and feeling how shallow of an impact my current use of strength would be in the New World my fighting spirit awakened a bit and when Ace talked about his dream it awakened even more as i felt there was a new dream to protect but the fighting experience part was what still bothering me so i asked Ace to help me with it .
Sparring is going to help you gain more fighting experience !? sure i will do it , say do you want do it now .
Wallace : Ahem .
I guess we'll have to wait for until we reach Fishmen island to test your idea there but i won't hold back against you just because you are my younger brother you want to master Haki and i will help you to the most i could and i have a feeling that we will use this power a lot in our adventures .
You are talking as if Rayleigh appointed you to be my older brother in training hehehe .
Fate was what appointed me to be your big brother in this life and i will do my duty as your big brother and teach you a lesson come here he then began trying to catch me but with Soru he got back to sleep after he expressed his appreciation to Wallace .
Now to my devil fruit my Zoan part is already well explained with a mantis shrimp physical enchantment increasing power and speed punching speed, quick reflexes , clairvoyance , fiery mode and the shockwave bubbles .
But my Paramecia devil fruit part is uclear the wicked scientist said besides me to his co-workers that it's ability is to increase the speed and strength and size of anything up to 100 times and when i was unbound this ability manifested to my perfectly clear in my brain as the same but i was able to increase my healing while having my Zoan power and without also was able to enhance my nerve system to increase my response and increased my senses effectiveness why is that i attributed that before to those by thinking that just being inside of me i can use my power effectively on them my healing factor when in Zoan was an ability but my nerve system reflexes is more of a concept than a single part in my body so if i was really able to use my power on the concepts inside my body what is really the limit here can't i just increase my intelligence by 100 directly mastering coating my whole body with Haki and can't i just increase the strength of my Haki since it's also a power in my body .
I used Armament Haki and tried to increase it with my devil fruit power but it didn't work i tried to increase my hand size and it worked just fine and i was still have my fist completely claded black with Haki so no shortcuts got it or can't do it now doesn't mean never but it just maybe i have some wrong understanding of Haki so let's increase our understanding again nothing happened was i wrong all along let's increase the speed my brain activity by 40 while my healing by 40 too .
I felt two things a strong headache from the rush of information my brain is analysing right now and the second that i need to increase my healing to 60 to lessen those headaches .
So that somehow clear it up i can enhance the systems which exist in my body therefore they can also enhance the different concepts or characteristics they have like i can't enhance my understanding but if i increased my brain endurance and working ability i indirectly able to increase my ability to think critically which give me a boost in understanding all that had just been realized by me just now i also had a hypothesis about why i can't increase my Haki with my power directly and it's for two reasons Haki is somehow naturally hostile to the use of the Paramecia devil fruit or just mine and the second Haki doesn't come from any known system in the human body it's still a hypothesis because of the lack of more information but increasing my Haki mastery should be feasible .
I tried and it really worked my hand was now completely clad in Haki i tried to use Haki without any enhancement and it worked but it was a short joy because then i collapsed on the deck suddenly not tired not unconscious just laying there fixed in my place for a span of 15 seconds it wasn't by accident that high intelligence mode took a toll on both my brain and fruit ability luckily didn't affect my zone transformation but i was still fixed in my place i was in that mode for 1 minutes and even with healing i was fixed in my place for only a quarter of that time and it was only a 40 times increase i guess a few more tries and we should get the hang of it .
The ship shock suddenly and i asked Wallace at least i can talk he said to not worry we just landed on the current that will lead us to Fishmen island .
