[PREVIOUSLY ON GAMER PIECE]

GAMER'S MIND HAS BEEN ACTIVATED

"Wait, what?" I ask aloud, making his ramblings stop. He sheepishly looks at me, and gives me the answer that I asked of him.

"Right, I apologize for rambling on. this place... no, this island.. is called Arabasta." my brain freezes again-

GAMER'S MIND HAS BEEN ACTI-

'....WHAT THE FUCK' Even though Gamer Mind Made sure that I didn't Freak out and cause a scene at the revelation of where I am.

I AM IN THE FUCKING ONE PIECE WORLD

'Holy shit! I am in the same world as Slaves, Pirates, revolutionaries, Marinesworld governmentTheFiveeldersIm-'

GAMER MIND HAS BEEN ACTIVATED

'Phew' I release a breath, feeling a headache coming from thinking, panicking and being scared too much.. but Gamer Mind is making Composed enough for me to think calmly. 'oh, what I would do without it.' even though I had this skill for an Hour at Most, I am in love with This Skill, it keeps me composed, and lets me think properly about the situation-

"Young Man?" Toto Snaps me out of my Thinking, making me look at him... In a different light. First, I thought he was a man who had bad luck, but now-

'He is the father of the Rebellion Leader, The StrawHats and Vivi Meet him and learn about the rebel army not being here.'

"Yes sir... It's just.. I didn't expect to be... This is far away from the Capital." I smile at him, distracting him while thinking about the Shit I am just in.

"Oh, it is tough... But, Resting here and then continuing to Alubarna is a good choice. You are smart for your age, when I was your age, I was-"

"Observe" I Whisper, looking at Toto and bringing Up His Information.

Name:- Toto

Job:- Elder Of Yuba

Gender:- Male

Level:- 28

HP:- 460

MP:- 0

Toto is a rather kindhearted and generous man, willing to help travelers to Yuba without a second thought, in spite of the city's massive shortage of water.

Due to extreme starvation and thirst, he is severely weak, but his determination to bring Yuba back to Its Glory is what pushes him forward.

"Oh, I see.." I smile at him, seeming like I am listening to his stories, but I am analyzing His Information to Determine when.. I am in the timeline.

'This place is covered in Sand, and He is Skinny, so... It might be during the 3 years Crocodile Started His plan' I began to speak, continuing My Questioning.. while Normally I wouldn't immediately Seek Out information right after such a groundbreaking reveal, Gamer Mind has made me... Accept the situation I am in... Kinda.

"So, anyways... When did...This Happen anyways?" I look around us, a building full of sand.. and Toto understands My Unspoken Question..

"Well.. Our Town was Bustling with Life just a couple of Years ago... Unfortunately, 3 years ago, Sandstorms Started Hitting This place.. and Our Water Dried up, causing Travelers to stop Coming here, and The residents Of Yuba... Relocated somewhere else... Even...my son. I am the one still here." He looks down, and I feel guilty (a little) for making him remember his life, but... I need information.

'so... 3 years ago.. and since this place is still like this, meaning that...Crocodile wasn't defeated yet. The StrawHats With Vivi are coming here... Any Day now'. While figuring out where I am in the timeline is really good for the first step... Knowing there is a possibility that I might get stuck in something I cannot Handle, is not. Plus, the Old man is still sad... So I gotta cheer him up too.

"You believe That there is Water still in this buried Sand right? That's the reason why you are digging.. right Sir?" I grin at him, knowing that with his surprised Expression, I have

successfully distracted him from his thoughts about the past.

"Yeah... There is Water in this City.. I will Find it at any cost and I Will Make Yuba Great again." He gets fired up, grabbing his Shovel with Intensity. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"So.. we should find it soon." I grin at him again, shoving my Shovel into the ground, picking up the hand with all my might... I gotta say, digging is one hell of a difficulty to a normal man with no prior experience.

Toto looks surprised for a couple of seconds, but then... he smiles, and without saying a word, The Continues Digging.

There are two reasons why I am digging, first is to level up my Digging Skill, second is to- DUE TO CONSTANT LIFTING, YOUR STRENGTH HAS INCREASED.

'Wha?' I open my status to see-

Status:-

Name:- Rai Adam

Job:- The Gamer

Gender:- Male

Level:- 2

Title:- None

HP:- 220

MP:- 70

STR:- 12

VIT (HP):- 15

DEX (AGI):-9

INT:-10

WIS:-7

LUK:-9

Stat Points:- 5

A person who was orphaned during his young age, Rai Adam has always worked hard to sustain himself independently. his job however, is not to his satisfaction, and due to this, he watches Movies and Anime to take his mind of his bad days. he Dies in his sleep and is Summoned by #@!#$#@ and

sent to a different world.

'damn... So lifting this sand with all my might will increase strength?... That's awesome.' Now, it's 3 reasons. I do look at my Stat Points, seeing 5 left, so I decide to put that all into

VIT, increasing it to-

VIT (HP) - 20

HP-320

'no point in saving Points if I could be one-shotted... Especially if I get messed up with something I did not want.' While Saving points is important, it is only useful AFTER I have become Strong enough to defend Myself with My Stats and Skill..

'What should I do?' I pick up Sand.. but notice that it is easier to do it, due to Increased STR.

'If The Gang and Vivi haven't Come through here, then... Will I get to meet them?' I throw Sand to the Side, continuing My digging work

'If I meet them... Then..will i Join them?' while these are hypothetical Scenarios right now.. I need.. to be prepared.. since I am in a world where I know what the rules are.

STRONG IS STRONG, WHILE WEAK MIGHT BE STRONG OR GET SWEPT AWAY.

'a motto that Perfectly Reflects this world. I need to be prepared.' Now, why am I trying too hard to prepare for something that I might not even be involved in?....

Just how naive Are you?

It is better to be prepared for anything rather than Not. I don't have Special Powers (except My System) and until I get strong to the point of protecting myself... I need to be prepared.

'so... IF I joined them, just... How will my existence with him influence the story-' 'NO!.... This... Is a real world. I need to treat it as such. This ain't a story Following Monkey. D.

Luffy and his rag-tag team of pirates fulfilling their dreams. it is a world... where the law- doers are in the pocket of beings who think of themselves as gods and as Slaves... a world where, People known as Pirates have the freedom to do what they want...and only some use that freedom to chase their dream, others use it to fulfill their selfish desires.' I continue preparing myself... while digging into the sand... to find a water source.

'so... IF i join them... I will go to where Crocodile is, learn the truth about what he is doing, and go to the capital... fight the rebel army AND the royal army, since both have spies in them.. and i ain't fighting no Baroque Work's members. I'll leave that to the main crew.. i'll level up by.... beating the shit out of Spies from both sides.. but how do I-' i look at the Shovel, and figure out the way to beat the shit out of people. i give a mental apology to Toto for stealing his Shovel... but, It is what it is.

'I will eventually go with them to Jaya... and... I will stay in the background for the majority while defeating fodders and leveling up and gaining skills.. I might eventually reach a point where I can confidently stand beside the "Monster Trio".. but that's in the future.

And just like that, I think about all the arcs and saga in one piece, thinking of ways to affect them... affect them so minimally that my future knowledge does not become useless... since the Saying "Knowledge is Power" is true after all... especially in this case. During this, my stat and my skill Level were rising, but I didn't notice... since I had Muted the notification Sound.... I only hear the sounds when I level up, or I get a new skill... so, for the next hour, my STR stat increases along with the DIGGING skill.

*DING* "huh?" I snap out of my day-dreaming digging to notice something new... A Skill-

MULTI-TASKING-PASSIVE- (Lv1) (EXP-0%)

DESCRIPTION:-

The ability to Multi-task is not something everyone can do.. but this skill allows one to

Passively Use Multi-tasking with whatever they want. the higher the Level of this skill, the more tasks can be handled simultaneously. Lv1:- can multi-task upto two things at a time.

'oh... nice.' Okay, this skill might be busted. if i successfully level this up to Max, then i might

be able to-

"Young Man, You alright?" I looked up from Reading the unread messages, to Toto.. who is over 3 Feet upwards.. since I dug a Hole around 10 feet deep. "yeah.... got a little bit enthusiastic... what about you?" I scratch my head like an anime

character... and ask him... out of courtesy.

"Well, a Sandstorm is approaching.. come up and get inside." a what? Sandstorm?

"wait... what about-" what about the Hole i dug just now man?

"It doesn't matter. I can do it again. since you are here now, you need to get inside." wait... sandstorm? the one which Crocodile sends to this island for shits and giggles?... Damn... I slowly climbed up, slipping a few times.. but eventually climbed out of the 10 Feet hole I dug

up.

I follow Toto into an abandoned Building.. where we sit in a fireplace... with food Toto bought from... somewhere. We eat while bracing for the sandstorm, and.... it does not disappoint. The sandstorm is powerful. like, house-ripping powerful... Even inside, the Effects of the sandstorm are evident.. the gust of air almost throws me off my seat... if i didn't hold it with

my dear life... the building shakes, like it is gonna rip itself off... and all i can think in my Gamer Mind induced mindset is-

'If this is What Crocodile does for Shits and Giggles, just... how strong Full Power Crocodile

is?'

an answer that i might possibly never get the answer for.

Eventually, the sandstorm calms down... and Me and Toto come out of the building.... Toto looked like the entire experience was of no significance to him... like, he isn't affected by the fact that all the hard work he did to dig a hole to find the water... is all gone. Toto picks up his Shovel and starts digging... again.

he looks like a chad honestly at this point.

i.... shrug, knowing what I have to do. I walk up to My side of the area and grab my Shovel...

and start digging into the Sand... to find the water. Toto Looks at me gratefully, i nod at him.... and we start doing our respective digging.

'on the topic of digging.' I opened up my Status Page and Skill Page... and I found that my STR went up by 3 while My Digging Skill went up a whole 9 Levels, resting at Lv10. 'nice... so according to my plan... all i have to do... is wait for the Strawhats to come here.... and

until then.... might as well Grind my STR up.' with my Course of action decided... i-

QUEST CREATED 'huh?' I look at the system message, confused... a quest.. at this moment in time? i click on it,

expecting the details-

WORK TILL THE MEET

Work in the inhabited City Of Yuba in search of Water... until your Destined "meetup" with some

"special" people. the harder you work, the stronger you get... and better the rewards.

There is more to this quest than it seems. so, try as hard as possible.

Time Limit- R

Rewards: +300 EXP

?????- a Custom Skill Box, +200 EXP

?????- +3 in all stats (Except LUK) & +1 in all skills (Except MAXED), + 100 EXP

Failure:- Rejection From The "Meetup".

'What kind of quest is this? sub quests inside the main quest?' it is kinda weird that... When I

decided to do a course of action... a quest pops up.

If I remember correctly, Jihan Han received Quests From Gaia, who gave him his power... but for me, who is the one giving the quests? is it either Mr-NOTHING- or... Gaia? like.... Gaia

from this earth. since Gaia is commonly known as a name for Earth.. it might be possible that Mr- NOTHING- gave the system admin rights to This World's Gaia.

'No point in thinking about it' I shake my head... and click on Y, accepting this quest... though,

the Failure is kinda... specific... it shouldn't matter since that Scenario was a Big IF anyways.

I started digging the sand.. trying to make a new hole and get water... while also leveling my

skills and increasing my Stats.

ONE WEEK LATER

a week went by... pretty weirdly in fact. My experience in this world was... dangerous to say the

least. The sandstorms are one hell of a shit to deal with.. plus, raising stats is a little difficult

just by Digging... so i had to start training my body as Per How The Gamer himself Did in the manhwa. the Training regiment was-

100 PUSH-UPS!

100 SIT-UPS!

100 SQUATS!

AND, A 10 KILOMETER RUN!

Well, I didn't do all of it in one go. even in my previous life, i could do 10 Pushups

Continuously at most... So, i did-

10 PUSHUPS, 10 SIT-UPS, 10 SQUATS, AND A 1 KM RUN...yeah i am weak.. but Gamer System

really helped me grow stronger.

STR:-29

VIT (HP):- 27

HP:- 460

DEX (AGI):- 17

Through Push ups, sit ups and Squats, I raised my STR to 29, and through running... especially

in sand (regardless of my Sand Walking skill), My DEX increased... Surprisingly, my VIT also increased by 2 points due to my entire body becoming more healthy. And for my skills,

"Skills" i call out, with a window dropping down... showing my leveled up skills-

DIGGING-ACTIVE- (Lv19) (EXP:- 77.9%) SAND WALKING-PASSIVE- (Lv17) (EXP-89%)

OBSERVE -ACTIVE- (Lv9) (EXP- 0.2%) MULTI-TASKING-PASSIVE- (Lv7) (EXP-69%) BULLSHITTING -PASSIVE- (Lv16) (EXP: -7.8%) along with their information-

OBSERVE -ACTIVE- (Lv9) (EXP- 0.2%)

DESCRIPTION:-

a skill to observe objects, situations, and persons Is generated allowing the user to quickly

gather information. The higher the skill, the greater the data obtained.

Lv 1: it tells the target's max HP, max MP, and information.

Lv 2: it reveals the remaining HP, and weaknesses.

Lv 9: it shows additional information like attributes, status, background and emotions.

BULLSHITTING -PASSIVE- (Lv16) (EXP: -7.8%)

DESCRIPTION:-

SPEWING BULLSHIT OUT OF YOUR ASS IS AN ART NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN DO. YOUR LIES ARE

BELIEVABLE AS LONG AS YOU STAY CONSISTENT AND MINDFUL, IF A PERSON FIGURES OUT

YOU ARE LYING, YOU MIGHT BE IN GREAT TROUBLE.

Lv 16:- 16% chance of a person believing in your Bullshit

MULTI-TASKING-PASSIVE- (Lv7) (EXP-69%)

DESCRIPTION:-

The ability to Multi-task is not something everyone can do.. but this skill allows one to

Passively Use Multi-tasking with whatever they want. the higher the Level of this skill, the more tasks can be handled simultaneously. Lv1:- can multi-task upto two things at a time.

while my Multi-tasking has not gained any additional abilities from leveling up, like the others... it is still worth mentioning that i can think and Dig much more easily compared to before...like, it has become second nature to me. and i also got some new skills-

BLUNT WEAPON MASTERY - ACTIVE- (Lv 3) (EXP - 22.8%)

DESCRIPTION:-

allows the user to handle blunt weapons easily.

Lv 1:- Increase 10% attack damage with blunt weapons.

Increase 5% attack speed.

This is a skill that JiHan had... so, if my Damage is an opportunity for my STR, a 10% increase

will be added when I use a blunt weapon.. like a shovel. I learned this skill when I was practicing by Swinging my shovel... again, it is best to be prepared for any reason in this world. since, who knows what might happen at any time-

"finally!" i hear a cry of joy from outside the hole, so i climb up from the 30 feet hole i dug in

the sand to go to Toto who-

"Finally... after all these years..!!" there are tears in his eyes, and in his hand.. he is holding a scoop of... water. "you got it.!" I grinned at him. happy that he finally achieved what he is looking for... water, in this ruined land. I walked over to him, seeing the hole he created being filled with the water

he dug. Toto drinks the water from his hands... sighing in joy and relief... i take a handful of water to drink as well and-

"UMAI!" he screams, startling me a little, his eyes swell up in tears, and he starts crying while

drinking the water from the small pond that has been formed... I've been drinking it with him

too since... I am thirsty as hell...

"huh?" I look up, feeling the wind getting stronger... knowing what is gonna come, I get up

and warn Toto. "Mr Toto, a Sandstorm is coming... we need to take cover." Staying here with Toto for a week has let me learn about when... and where the sandstorms will come from... if the wind starts picking up... there is a possibility of a storm... but in Yuba.. it is 100% guaranteed, a storm is coming. Toto isn't getting up from his position, continuing to drink water.

"Mr Toto, please get up. we can dig up this place later." he still isn't moving.. so i have no other choice but to grab him and yank him towards the building... but he starts struggling...

Name:- Toto

Job:- Elder Of Yuba

Gender:- Male

Level:- 28

HP:- 460

MP:- 0

STR:-46

VIT (HP):- 23

DEX (AGI):- 10

INT:-13

WIS:-22

LUK:-3

Toto is a rather kindhearted and generous man, willing to help travelers to Yuba without a

second thought, in spite of the city's massive shortage of water.

Due to extreme starvation and thirst, he is severely weak, but his determination to bring Yuba

back to Its Glory is what pushes him forward. He is currently Overwhelmed by Happiness.

with my Observe at Lv 9, i am able to see Other peoples Stats and their emotions.. and this

Starved man has an overall strength than me... i am still weaker than a starved man... but still, due to him being overwhelmed, i am able to use my entire strength to drag him inside.... just

before the sandstorm hits. I scoop up a jug full of water and drop it in my inventory just before I close the door.

When I first felt the sandstorm in this place a week ago... I feared for my life, and if I didn't have Gamer Mind, I would have been scared the entire time... but now, I don't fear it... that

much. I am still affected by it, but not to the point of getting thrown away by the wind.. I can

hold my ground enough.

Mr Toto finally snaps out of his circumstances and throws me a grateful look, which I give him a thumbs up for. During this month, me and him have shared a lot of information, mostly him (and ME lying 90% of the time, that's why My Bullshitting skill has increased )... we grew

closer and... both of us see each other as friends...

Eventually, the Sandstorm settles, and we go out to continue digging. our daily routine consists of:-

waking up, Digging, eating, Digging, Hiding from Sandstorms, Digging, and going to sleep. Every single day of the week, the sandstorm hits... and all our precious work goes to shit. but,

with me waiting for my Quest to be over... and his motivation to make Yuba great again, we keep doing it.

I grab the shovel that I have been using the past week, and start digging, but that's when I see

something in the corner of my eye.. specifically, on the map. i open it and-

'i see..... 8 gray dots... coming to this town' in the week i was here, i explored what is there in

the town... and i covered most of it, registering it in my Map.... which allowed my Map to have

a larger reach than before, so... now that people are entering in this town, my Map is able to

it.

detect 'Is it them?' I look at the place where they will come from, stopping my digging. Toto looks

at me, stopping and asks me what happened.

"it seems we have visitors?" I point to a building, and from its side... silhouettes come... one

which seems to be... mounting on... something, a camel maybe.. then... 4 people walking... one

carrying.... something, and lastly... an animal, a Reindeer In Fact.

'it is them!' I start getting excited since I recognise them... how could I not? I watched over

1000 episodes over 20 minutes long... i.e, over 430 Hours of these people who ride in this

dangerous world with their Ambitions. These Are The- STRAW-HAT PIRATES.

GAMER MIND HAS BEEN ACTIVATED

My skill activates, calming me down from my excited state. I look at them approaching while

Toto walks forward, greeting them.

"Welcome travelers. You must be tired from the irksome Journey. If you wish to, you could

stay Here for the night, Since The Inn is a famous thing in Yuba." I smiled at them.. the same smile he showed Me when I arrived here a week ago. I get excited just by seeing them.

GAMER'S MIND HAS BEEN ACTIVATED

I calm down... No point in being excited... So I decided to do something that I was planning on

doing anyway. Ignore them until something comes up.

"We... Are here since we heard about the Rebel Army Being here-" a girl... Who is wearing

something which is covering her face speaks up... But before she could continue, Toto rages

and.... throws things at them?

"You bastards are here for that stupid rebel army huh?" He throws....can? Where the fuck did

he bring this from? I look around from where he is grabbing things and throwing them at

them and...

There is nothing. All he is doing is grabbing Air and.... Things just pop up which he throws at

the group.

"Wait.. you have the wrong idea-" A guy.... With a straw hat speaks up, holding his hand in

front, trying to Stop Toto... But He gets Hit by a wooden Can in the face.

"You bastards-" I decide... This is the time to intervene in this situation. "Calm down, Mr Toto. That girl over there... Is Nefatari Vivi, the Princess' 'I speak up, making

Toto Stop and... The StrawHats to become Surprised. The Princess Of Alabasta

Lv??? Nefatari D Vivi

'She has The D name. But... How am I able to see this? Wasn't it supposed to be a secret or

something? Did... Gaia' not spared any info from me since.. I basically know most of the shit

that this world does?' Why the hell am I able to see her entire Name? "How... Did you know-" Vivi speaks up, but is cut off by Toto... Who starts Tearing up.

"Princess Vivi... Is that you?" He approaches her and grabs her shoulder... Where he starts

Sobbing.

While Vivi and Toto have their talk... I look at the other People who are with Her... Starting

with The Straw Hat-

Captain Of The Straw Hat Pirates

Lv??? Monkey D Luffy

'I can't see his level?' while I might have missed seeing Vivi's level... Not being able to See Luffy's level is... A little concerning. 'Observe' I decide to Use My Skill-

THE SKILL <OBSERVE> IS TOO LOW TO GET INFORMATION ON THE TARGET.

'What?' this is... Even more concerning. I can See Toto's level.. but I can't See Luffy's...

Meaning, his level is higher than Toto's... And a lot higher, approximately 30 Levels Higher... I

think.

Luffy looks at Vivi and Toto reunion with silence.. I decided to look at the other members'

Level. The person Next to Luffy- He.... Is looking at me.

Rorona Fucking Zoro is deadass Staring at me. I look above his head-

Vice Captain Of The Straw Hat Pirates Lv??? Roronoa Zoro

'Not even him?' i start getting nervous-

GAMER'S MIND HAS BEEN ACTIVATED

My mind calms itself down... While Zoro staring at me is kinda... Scary, he won't do anything if

I don't do anything... So I-

'Smile and wave boys. Smile and Wave' i wave To Zoro then look at the next person..

completely Ignoring Zoro... Or at least trying to.

Burglar Of The StrawHat Pirates

Lv??? Nami

'oh damn.' Nami... The one I had a crush on when I watched One piece for the first time... She...

is in flesh, right in front of me... and that level? Damn... Just how strong are these guys to the

point where I can't even see their Level... And these guys aren't even Gamers themselves. I

notice something then-

Sniper Of The Straw Hat Pirates

Lv??? Usopp

'even This shit?' even Usopp, the weakest Member of The StrawHats, the long nose bastard

and Liar, is more than 30 levels higher than me? Well damn... I give up tryna compare these

people's Levels.

Cook of the StrawHat Pirates Lv??? Vinsmoke Sanji

'That Spiral Eyebrow.. how the hell did no one find his identity out until Big mom came for his

ass?' The 2 notable things that show in Sanji are his Eyebrows and.... His Long legs..

Damn, his legs are long. Even though I am larger than him, even my Legs aren't that Long... Doctor of The Straw Hat Pirates

Lv??? Tony Tony Chopper

'damn... If I didn't know Chopper was an Animal-turned- Human, I would have thought that a

kid was cosplaying or somethin' Chopper... Is kinda an adorable man... He makes me wanna...

Pet him-

'ah.. I miss my dog. I look up at the Sky, thinking about my Dog... Who passed away before... I

died.. He has been my Best friend since I was at the Orphanage... I found him on the streets

and took care of him, since he reminded me of... Well, Me.

GAMER'S MIND HAS BEEN ACTIVATED

'damn It'

it's not even letting me reminisce and get emotional... I shake my head and continue

seeing what's

happening.

"Please... Stop those Fools.. I tried to stop them, but they wouldn't-" "I... Promise that... I will stop the Rebellion." Vivi promises Toto, while the rest of the

StrawHat watches in silence... That promise... Might not be fulfilled after all.. especially

Looking at Luffy's face.

He looks like he has... Decided what needs to be done.. and nothing's gonna change his mind.

I mentally shrug, this doesn't Concern me... Maybe, but who knows. "You guys might be tired... Let me show you a place where you can rest-" Toto wipes his tears

and gets ready to Bring the Group to a resting place for the day. But, I interrupted him,

deciding to put my "plan" into Motion.

"Mr Toto, Take them to The inn, and you go to sleep for today... I'll take it from here." I grin

at him, telling him to let his old bones rest for the day... This Chad works day and night for a

small amount of water.. so, he needs to rest as much as he can. "But-" he looks at me, trying to protest... But I ain't having it, since for my "plan" to work... I

need him gone... And by that, I don't need him to be a distraction. "No buts Mr Toto. You have met Someone You knew A long time ago.. talk, or do whatever you

want.. I'll dig up the water we found today... Just.. leave it to me." I grin, and give a thumbs up

I to encourage him... He goes to protest... But then Sighs... Accepting it. "How did you know... that This was Princess Vivi?" Zoro speaks up for the first time, already

suspicious of me... He points to Vivi while demanding my answer... In a calm way. "Hmm." I look at Vivi, who narrows her eyes in confusion... And even suspension. I look at all

the Other StrawHats, who all Look at me with Suspicion. Except- Luffy.. who just looks at me with his head tilted in confusion.. no suspicion whatsoever...

"That is Luffy for ya.' The man who never doubts himself, the Man... Who always moves

forward with a smile on his face... The User of The Human-Human Fruit, Model:- Sun God...

Monkey D Luffy, AKA, Joyboy.

"Well, I figured out some clues, enough for me to find out Her identity." Before I start fanboying.. I decided to explain Myself.. with the reason I came up with, one the spot..

SKILL<BULLSHITTING> HAS BEEN ACTIVATED

"Well... Her hair.. It's blue... That's rare in this Country and only a few people have it, plus..

she covered her face when Talking To Mr Toto. not only that, When Mr Toto was Cursing Her

out,.... That Guy over there- " I point at Luffy... Who points at himself, surprised. "Tries to Explain how Mr Toto got the Wrong idea... So, if I put the dots Together... I got

Princess Vivi, who is Missing from the Country for the Past 3 years." I shrug, and Look at the other's reaction.

Usopp, Nami, Vivi and Chopper's Jaw Drop... Sanji raised Eyebrows, surprised... While Zoro

does have a surprised Expression, it soon becomes Guarded... And Luffy-

He just stares at me... With a confused expression... I just shrug again.. like what I just said is

no big deal.

SKILL - BULLSHITTING - HAS LEVELED UP

SKILL - BULLSHITTING - HAS LEVELED UP

SKILL - BULLSHITTING - HAS LEVELED UP

Three Notifications appear in front of me, indicating My level up... Also giving me

confirmation that The group has bought My Bullshit. mostly, Zoro is still suspicious of me-

"Okay then. Dear Travelers, this way." Mr Toto speaks up, trying to mediate the tension.. he walks ahead, so the Strawhat follows Him, all giving me looks... except Luffy, who stands still.

I shrug, and turn around... continuing to dig till I find the water. The reason Luffy is standing

still is because he needs water and is exhausted... So I decided to dig some water for him.

"oi.." he speaks up, crouching near the hole, bord out of his mind.

"What's up?" I speak up, not even looking at him, continuing the digging.

"is there really no water here? i am soooo thirsty!" he whines, so i look at him and notice

something-

He looks similar to his Anime/Manga Counterpart.

like, the same exact replica... even the scars are visible, its... black and visible... He looks

Like....An anime Character.. rather than a real human.

'if he looks like that, then... Do I look different?' Did Mr -NOTHING - change my body into

that of an anime character? If so, how come i didnt feel it? i should have noticed changes in

my body-

"Oiii! Can you hear me?" Luffy's whining snaps me out of my Discovery that.... I might have

become An anime/ MAnga character...

"yeah... you said you needed water right?" I decided to put this matter into the back of my

mind and start continuing to dig for Luffy to get his water but... I remember. "here." I raise my hand, and from it, I summon my inventory and... remove the water jug that

I filled up before the sandstorm hit.

'SUGOIIII!!!" Luffy's eyes... turn into stars... what the fuck? how the fuck is that possible?

"How did you do that?" he starts jumping up and down like a hyperactive child.... I discard the

weirdness I just saw, and decide to answer the question... as honestly as possible... while

Bullshitting of course.

"well..... you want me to tell you... or to show you?" I grinned at him, taking his excitement about me... as a plus for my "plan".

Now, what might my plan be?... It's simple really... have a good relationship with the Strawhats, be their Friend... so if I get in trouble, I will have someone to back me up... a safety insurance if possible. I still haven't decided that I will be joining their group... If they invite me at all, that is, since I am still a little hesitant to put myself in harm's way... just for some fun. And, I don't have much of a dream.... so i don't even know if i fit with the group at all. "Can you show me?? show me... show me!" he... has the most infectious smile i have ever

seen, like... you know you wanna do things... just to see that smile and feel recognised..

"Show me your hand" while I could have just... told him I had an extra dimensional pocket,

it... wouldn't be as fun.. and it would be boring, so.. showing him it as a Magic trick wll... do

the

"trick".

He shows me both of his hands, and I take one of them and close the palm, while

demonstrating

my... magic.

"as you saw... there is nothing on your hand.. but now-" i insert my thumb and index finger

into the gap of luffy's closed palm, and show the motion of Grabbing something... while i

summon a piece of cloth from my inventory and... pull- "- there is a piece of cloth coming out of your hand." I grin, showing him the piece of cloth

that I pulled from his "Hand"... and he screams in joy.

"SUGOIIII!!!! ITS MAGIC....!!!! YOU CAN DO MAGIC????" he grabs my hand, shaking it up and

down... hard. i grin, nodding at him.. and he screams "SUGOI!" again... and-

"OI.... JOIN MY CREW!!" my heart.... vibrates... like, something attacked it... but the attack

was.. not harmful, but something... which feels that... it is binding my heart.. and soul... to

Luffy-
