Chapter 7: Training and Goals

Chapter 7: Training and Goals

_________ POV Enel_________ (Story will sometimes switch between POV's, but the regular POV will always be the Narrative one)

It feels like I'll never get used to this...Seeing an entirely new world around me was a bit disorienting at first. I figured I'd get used to it though.

I guess I wasn't entirely right. Seeing people with wings everywhere, being able to sense everything around me perfectly, being able to produce and control lightning.

Those aren't things you get used to so easily. But, I decided to just take things in stride and enjoy my new life.

I was given all of the tools necessary to live an easy life, but my ambition leads me down the path of learning... And in a world like this, learning isn't looked upon nicely.

The government in this world have made their stance very clear on that. To the point where most people don't have any idea of the full history of their own countries.

The people of Ohara tried their best to learn the secrets of the world, and they were forced to pay the ultimate price for it.

Nico Robin is the only confirmed survivor of Ohara, and also the only reason I wish to meet the straw hats. I had always found her character to be intriguing, maybe because we had similar interests?

Well, I don't plan to stick around them or anything, but not befriending a group of pirates that will go on to being able to take down Yonkos sound quite stupid to me.

I've contemplated what to do in this new life of mine, especially considering that I cannot openly seek out the truth.

The thoughts of simply not bothering with anything did cross my mind... But those are the thoughts of a quitter and of someone that can't accomplish anything great.

Why should someone like me have to give up on their desire to learn the truth just because the World Government doesn't like it?

Even now, with barely any training, I have the power to blow up and destroy an island, something that only an Ancient Weapon is supposedly capable of...

That should be plenty to count as self-defence. But I don't know if I can truly rely on just my devil fruit to survive against the World Government's full forces.

If I truly want to thrive in this world, I better get to learning Haki.

Making weapons out of gold and other conductive metals isn't going to help me against someone like Garp or Sengoku. They would most likely crush me swiftly if I ever attempted fighting them head-on.

The admirals also... Well, Kizaru is the only one I truly fear amongst the marines. I can easily outrun Garp and Sengoku, Aokiji and Akainu aren't any threat either.

But Kizaru is the only person in this world that can match my speed perfectly. Well, we both move at the speed of light. The only way I would ever be able to win against him is by training my body more, as well as my Haki.

Robin translated this, as well as all of the other poneglyphs, and informed the Shandians that their ancient duty of protecting the Poneglyphs was finally over.

I'll tell you what, this is certainly a lot more than what I had to work with in my past life. Deciphering this language will be a lot easier with this discovery.

I might need less than a month...

Well, if there aren't any complications I will be able to gain a basic understanding of the language in a month. Mastering it completely in such a short time is simply not possible.

I had decided to make my house relatively close to that river, but that part isn't quite as important.

There are currently two goals that I've set for myself in this world.

One of them is to discover the truth about the Void Century. This includes learning the Ancient Language and looking for all of the Poneglyphs.

The other goal is to get strong enough to not be opposed in my journey. This devil fruit is an extremely good start, problem is that Enel is a weakling when it comes to physical strength.

I've already tested my strength, it is impressive by earth standards, and probably by this world's standards as well. But it lost even to pre-time skip Luffy, so it certainly isn't anything too special by Grand Line standards.

Training is the only thing I can do at this point if I want to get anything done. Translating the Poneglyphs is something I plan to do in between training sessions.

The problem is that there isn't exactly anything similar to a Gym in the middle of the forest. So I guess I'll have to make do with large rocks and regular fitness exercises?

I can't exactly grade large rocks, so it will be difficult to tell how much weight I'm actually lifting.

Well, I'll manage regardless. This isn't exactly my past world, I noticed quite a few 'unconventional' training methods used in this show.

Better get to it, the rest of the sky islands are already in good shape anyway, so I don't have any reason to worry about them anymore.

I won't even be disturbed since no one knows where I've gone and what I am doing right now. Only Gan Fall and Wyper have some idea of my whereabouts.

Hmm... What exercises should I start with?
