3 Chapter 02 (1/1)

After falling for a minute or so, I was in a small forest area. I can hear the waves, so I guess the ocean should be close. Checking over myself, I felt absolutely no pain from the fall. Having a rubber body has a lot of benefits.

I was really curious regarding the second Devil Fruit I had eaten. I found a weird feeling in my gut again and by instinct, I transformed myself.

I grew dark grey hair from my fingers up until my elbows and from my toes up until my knees. I felt hair also growing on my face and touching it feels very soft. What surprised me the most is, that I felt something on my backside and looking behind me, I can see a dark grey tail. It felt like another limb and I had control over it. It will definatley take some time to get used it though.

The power that I felt coursing through my body was simply amazing. I honestly felt I was invincible in this half transformation. I refuse to believe that this is the full transformation of the fruit, but at the very least now I know it's some kind of a monkey Zoan fruit. How ironic, considering my family name is Monkey.

I heard some footsteps, which interrupted my thought. It seems only one person is coming currently, judging by the footsteps. I decided to remove my transformation for now. I was surprised when I was barely able to hear the footsteps now. I suppose my transformation enhances my sense of hearing at the very least.

A couple of minutes later I can see the pink haired boy walking up to me. When he saw me, he seemed surprised. I suppose he was not expecting me to survive the fall with absolutely no injuries.

”You got knocked pretty far, are you okay?” He asked me with a worried look, seems like a nice guy.

”Shishishi I am fine, I was just surprised and got cough off guard.” He had a very weird look after my statement, which prompted me to laugh even more. ”My name is Luffy, do you happen to know where we are?”. Despite knowing that I was probably on the island Alvida, used to hide and knowing that I was speaking to Coby, I decided to play it out.

He introduced himself and told me he is the caretaker on Alvida's ship.”Cool, do you happen to know where I could find a boat, mine kinda got destroyed in a whirlpool. Shishishi”. His mouth almost dropped after hearing me. Funny guy, I like him.

He was surprised I survived a whirlpool and brought me to a boat he was making to escape this island. Honestly, the boat looked miserable, beggars can't be choosers. I was honestly surprised when he told me he was building this thing for two years. It looked like a badly made coffin. I felt bad for Coby.

I inquired why is he giving away something that he spent two years making and his answer made me quite angry, so I hit him on the head, as lightly as I can. Guess it still hurt him seeing holding his head with tears. What made me angrier is when he said that he is used to such treatment. After getting over his pain he asked me why did I set sail.

”I want to become the Pirate King and pioneer my own way, show everyone what it truly means to be a pirate and I guess I will find One Piece while doing it. Shishishi”. I want to show everyone that you don't need to pillage, plunder and r*pe as a pirate. I will help people when I can and I won't destroy the lives of innocent people, however, I won't share my food with anyone, except if it is absolutely necessary.

Coby started panicking and saying things I found stupid, I hit him again to shut him up and told him ”I know that I will become the Pirate King or at the very least I will die trying.”. This got to him, as I saw how the look in his eyes changed. He told me how his dream is to become a marine to capture pirates like Alvida, he also asked if I believe if he can do it.

”Shishishi, how am I supposed to know. That's all up to you, only you can decide your fate.” He found confidence in my words and got happier until we were interrupted by a group of pirates led by the ugliest creature I have ever seen.

”I never knew whales are so ugly and can walk on land. Shishishi.” Everyone froze after my statement, Coby started panicking and saying weird things again. The whale started screaming how she is the most beautiful woman.

Deciding I had enough of this I simply punched her, what I didn't expect is her flying off. Damn, I can't even see her anymore. This new strength is amazing, I knew Zoan fruits increase the physical strength of the person who ate them, but I never thought that it's by that much.a

Everyone froze after Alvida flew away and seconds later the pirates escaped. After gathering whatever food and berry we found we took off on the small boat towards Shells town, where I will find my first crewmate. Shishishi, this will be very fun.
