Fish Wheel Village

While Dan is folding and arranging all of the clothes to a cabinet, he's thinking about how he is going to use the unique ability of the Devil Fruit to its full capacity.

Sorting all of his thoughts and ideas, frowning while thinking.

Rules are defined as a series of regulations or bylaws that govern all of the things under the heavens, just thinking if you can modify or copy a series of rules and use it for my purpose.

How Overpower am I right?

Although all of this can be shortened in a simple word, I can steal the capabilities of a plant or a fire by having a certain understanding of its rules and laws, and I can temporarily modify it to my satisfaction.

And to verify my insights he tried to experiment with his devil fruit prowess and he listed all of his findings.

Firstly, he can see all of the rules and mechanics in everything, but not living things but with one exception that its plants or trees.

He thinks because of his limitations 'Well I can improve it, it's just a couple of days', trying to comfort himself.

Secondly, he must have a certain understanding of its rules so I can have the capabilities to modify it or understand its rules.

I can use it to others 'Well that's my theory anyway', and I found out that if I use my devil prowess on learning and understanding its rules the system is giving me a scale of 100%, hinting me on what is the percentage of my understanding of its laws.

'Now it's a good use of my system, it's guiding me'

And lastly, this is my theory.

If I have a certain understanding of the rules of something I can transfer it to a thing or a living thing like a buff in a game.

So far this is the result of my hypothesis based on my experiment on using it.

Now I think I need something like a container that has qualifications to contain my understanding of rules.

I need a breakthrough, he sighs and finishes his task.

Did I overlook something or should I look to other perspectives?

He looked at the progressing bar in his vision that was hovering in front of me, it was 6.35%.

He tried to decode the rules of the tree he climbed earlier when he experimented with his abilities.

As long as my Perception is focused on the area of the tree, the process will keep moving.

"Pate!", little Jas called him but he didn't pay attention because he was used to being called Dan by others in his previous life.

Little Jas feels ignored so she jumps in her seat while holding her books that she read and sits beside Dan "Pate! Why are you ignoring me?" Little Jas pouted to Dan.

"Ow sorry little Jas, I didn't notice you, I was preoccupied at the moment. Why? Do you need help ?", snapping out of his daze, he turned his attention to this kid.

"little Jas? we're almost at the same height, how old are you? I'm Eight years old!" Little Jas straightened her back like she was proud she was 8 yrs old.

"ahhmmmm, Nine years old" he answered while rummaging in his memories.

'to think I need to rummage my memories because of this kid antics',

Little Jas looked at him with a defeated expression.

"Well, what is that book you are holding? Do you know how to read?" trying to direct her attention to something else.

"Yeah! reading the alphabet so that Jas can learn how to read like Mother!"

"Ow, let me take a look" Little Jas gives him the book and he looks at it, he's trying to find if he can understand a thing cause I absorb all of the memories of Pate.

'And I must forget my past identity, from now on I am Pate' when he looks at the series of symbols and letters in the books.

Realization struck him, he was stunned.

His mind was blank 'Why I didn't think that way, in the Fairy Tail anime there is the leader of the Thunder God Tribe - Freed Justin who uses Letter Magic.'

In a way Rules and Laws are based on written forms of document, why don't I use letters as a form of Container of my condensed Rules that I comprehend.

I'll call it Runes! As for the other specifics, I'll need time to see what it can do.

(Author: The name of the MC from now on will be Pate Trivias. Thankie! )

"Pate!" Little Jas shouted in his ear.

"Ayyy what's that for? I hear you. Okay?", he pricks his damaged ear.

"You just keep looking like a retarded, Did the waves of the ocean smash heavily in your head?", he pretended that he didn't hear it.

"Okay, I'll teach you. You better listen", little Jas nodded and listened to him while he kept teaching her.

Forest in Spiral Island

Two days passed by, a boy was sitting in front of the big tree in the forest while his hand rested on the surface of the tree.

If you have a very powerful spirit you will see that there is a ghostly aura that keeps flowing in the hand of Pate coming from the big tree.

Pate feels that while he is trying to absorb and try to understand the mysteries and laws that are in every fiber of this tree.

The intimidation of the whole forest is getting heavier.

He keeps frowning and looks at the hovering progress bar in his vision 48.13%, a cold sweat is forming in his forehead and back.

He was suffocated by the forest but he still kept going on.

He tried to form runes in other places, like the plant in the backyard of Mother Riz.

When the Progress bar finishes decoding progress, he feels that he can modify its rules and mechanics but he can't get anything.

he just feels its rules and it's just it.

Nothing happened afterward.

Hee tries to modify it but he doesn't know how to modify it, after thinking hard, he concludes.

First, he must know what he's going to modify, like if he's going to add an attribute like heat or fire.

He must know the rules of fire so that I can add them to the thing he wants to modify.

And Second, the target of modification must bear the result of modifications.

The progress bar reached 50%, and he pulled his hand and stop the decoding process.

But the intimidation of the forest is still there, he feels the crisis like he was going to die at any moment.

He tried to condense the aura of rules he comprehends and it formed a green rune in his hand, it was spinning slowly and hovering in his eyes. He was stunned 'Sh*t! I'm successful!'

before he can scream out of joy, a surging of suppression is pressing him to the ground 'f*ck!'

He grabbed the runes in his hand and smashed it to his chest. 'This forest is so unreasonable!'
