A and Jin sat together, munching on snacks as they watched a One Piece fight unfold on a large screen.
"Looks like you got Whitebeard," A said, taking a handful of popcorn.
"Yeah, that's good," Jin replied, a subtle hint of disappointment in his voice. " I was secretly hoping for Kaido."
"Well, what can we do now? Why did you prefer Kaido anyway? I'd say Whitebeard is stronger, based on the anime."
"We can't be sure about that, can we?" Jin countered. "And Kaido fighting Luffy was truly mesmerizing. His quote, 'Haki rules everything,' was dope. Anyway, do I also have to deal with sea sickness?"
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." A leaned back, getting into lecture mode. "In the One Piece world, people gain Devil Fruit abilities by wishing to be something more . As Vegapunk said, they're going against the world order. They become something they weren't meant to be, so they reject nature's order, and in return, nature refuses to acknowledge them."
"So they're changing the world order?" Jin asked, connecting the dots.
"Yes," A confirmed.
"Just like you and me," Jin continued, his eyes widening with realization. "We wouldn't have been in that world originally, but you and i changed that."
A was impressed. "You don't have to worry about the world rejecting you. I took care of that by making Jin Kazuma born and survive until you got there. Your body and soul is now part of that world."
"I see," Jin said, understanding more now. "That's why you also mixed my soul with that guy's, so I wouldn't be rejected both physically and spiritually."
"Bravo," A said, a rare note of genuine approval in his voice. "When you're cool-headed, you think thoroughly."
"Well, I guess that means I owe you. Thanks," Jin said, the words feeling foreign on his tongue.
"Man, your emotions are all over the place," A chuckled.
"You don't owe me anything i was the one who transmigrate you . Before, you were practically seeing me as an enemy you had to get things from. Now you're all friendly."
"I guess I was burning out ," Jin admitted. "Anyway, let me ask another question. If the world isn't rejecting me, what about you? Do you not suffer any consequences?"
"I'm beyond that," A replied, his voice a little too quick. "And this world is just another side-by-side timeline. You're thinking about things that are way beyond your time .chill out"
"So, whenever you interact with me, you're changing the world order?" Jin pressed, his gaze intent.
"How did you come to that conclusion?" A asked,somewhat surprised . "But yes, you're right." Smile forming on A lips .
"So whenever you're interacting with me, you're changing how the world would have normally gone," Jin said, his voice flat.
"Man, you're boring me," A sighed. "What do you want? Let's forget about this and move on. I am gonna get in trouble "
"No No,you gotta answer" Jin said firmly. "Now, confirm or deny it."
A's relaxed posture vanished. he admitted. "Well, we would have had this conversation much later, but let's just rip the bandage off. Yes, I changed the world order to make sure you could live."
"Well, I don't want that," Jin said, his voice now cold.
"Why?" A asked, baffled. "You get free plot armor. Why are you throwing it away?"
"Because I know then I'll never grow, the moment i awaken touki i have been feeling someting is wrong with how i am growing stronger ." Jin shot back. " If i follow your design . I'll just be a rat chasing one thing after another, completely dependent on you and system ."
"Well, I've already reduced our chances of meeting, considering that. I originally thought of giving you 13 templates because I knew by the end, you'd be at the top of the food chain. But considering your personality changing , I lower it and you awakening touki really make things out of my hand ."
" So you called me here, already considering all possibilities?" Jin asked, his voice shaking with a quiet rage. " You speak aloud again , dipshit . "
A's smile widened. "Oops"
"I don't want another thing from you " Jin said, his voice dropping to a low growl. "This is the last time we'll ever be meeting."
A "Look, man, I know it feels foreign going against the world ,changing according to one whishes but you have to understand, I'm here for you. "
A " Maybe the **[static]** is using you to keep me out. Did I interfere too much?"
"What do you mean?" Jin asked, his mind racing. "What did you just say?"
A " Not again , i speak aloud again ."
"Gibberish," A said quickly, waving a dismissive hand. "Ignore it."
"I am not meeting you again, A," Jin stated.
"Your call, man. So what do I do with the power I still have to give you and one more template?"
A feeling of deep unease washed over Jin. "I don't want it."
"Looks like I'm suffering from success, man," A said to himself, a frustrated look on his face. He then turned serious.
A looks at jin seeing him start to vanish .
"Hey, listen to me carefully . I have to give you seven gifts. Don't ask why; it's just a universal number thing: 3, 7, 11. You have to have them—that's the minimum. Now listen, you can't have a new power because you already have two templates on you. You can't have a template right now. Ask for some item or something else, and I'll make sure it reaches you."
"Give me some martial arts," Jin said, and in an instant, he vanished.
A was left alone, sighing. "Man, half-assing this is really going to bite me in the ass sometime."
He then looked at a glowing white screen that appeared in front of him and word start to appear on it .
**[Dear Reader, I know this episode has been a bit of a shit show and things have been all over the place, but please trust me, I'm trying new things.]**
"Should I give more explanation?" A muttered.
**[I hear your concerns and I'm taking notes on this. Given how things have been going, we might not have a vote for some time, so please be patient with me. From the next episode, everything will be smooth, and this sudden interruption to your immersion and world-building won't happen again.]**
"Well, that's just an excuse," A said to himself. "Things are out of my hands now."
**[I am forever open to your suggestions. If you don't like the direction, please write below what you've liked so far and what improvements you'd like to see.]**
"Looks like this is the last time I'll be able to do something like this," A said, a hint of sadness in his voice.
**[Please also drop some martial art names to be selected from. It could be from the Murim world or something like Garou. Bye.]**
"Man, this might hurt my story, but let's see what happens. Better to give a warning first."
A then lazily opened his laptop and started watching a movie.
