The ship sailed slowly across the vast sea. The loneliness I felt from leaving my mother was ebbing away under the grandfather whom was somewhat over familiar. In my past life I always assumed Garp was joking with his fist of love as an endearing way to show he cares. It was not the bloody fist hurt like hell, I have no idea how he uses that hammer on his grandchildren, it was borderline child abuse. One time I tried taking some of the meat off of his plate and before I could even wrap my teeth around it for a bite I found myself hammered into the ground in a daze. Luckily people of this world are less fragile because if it was my last life I’m sure I would’ve been knocked out cold. Of course to make up for stronger bodies they eat far more. In particular my family had a rather voracious appetite and I was no exception. The meat we would consume if we were to have a family reunion would feed a normal family for a month at least. It was strange to think like this, I truly considered them family despite this being my second life.

Garp: Alright kid your already 4 so you need some light training to prepare for the future.

Seeming reasonable I nodded with a glint to my eyes excited to get started.

Garp: Seeing as it’s your first training session you need to build stamina so...

Before I could react Garp picked my up and threw me over his shoulder. Just to remind many Garp would throw cannon balls and it would be more effective than a cannon. Thankfully he held back and he only threw me about a mile away. The boat also thankfully slowed down greatly but it took a solid ten hours to catch up to the boat. The 50x training speed was immensely useful and I even gained 9 points of energy. My stamina reserve seemed to grow greatly as well as my strength. I even gained a minor skill swimming which I when opened found a menu full of many things such as walking, speed reading and writing it seemed this system covered more than I expected. I was surprised by the amount of energy that I’d accumulated and was excited to get to the next minor stage. I would probably have collapsed if it weren’t for the constant tempering from 50x training. My growth was immense the 50x10 left me having the results of training for 500 hours. Although energy gain wasn’t affected body was worlds apart and even Garp surprised apparently the bastard accidently used too much strength and was gonna collect me but seeing I could handle it allowed me to continue. Strangely I didn’t believe him remembering Luffy’s training from the manga. This training persisted for the remaining week and I gained 6 minor stages, my body was now slightly monstrous for my age. Although I didn’t gain any skills my basic attributes were impressive for now.

My he’ll like training showed significant effects and I could decimate a normal adult with ease but I would be far outmatched if I were to face real pirates. I’d even managed to stop Garp from calling me brat in fact all the crew as well would call me little devil. It happened when they saw my smile when I finished training, apparently there was a devilish grin on my face and my rate of growth was simply demonic. All the female marines on board however would rush up to me when training was finished. Garp told them to quit doting one which earnt him a few glares and tongue clicks. My impecable genes seemed to trump all muahaha I shall become the great devil king. *cough cough* it seemed I was developing a mild case of chunnibyuism.

The ship came to a slow when I was in the middle of a set of 1000 push-ups. We had encountered many sea kings on the voyage and Grandad had taken care of all of them I assumed it was another and continued training spurred on by the thought of the beasts. Just as I stood to wipe the sweat off Grandad kicked in the door shouted

Garp: little devil we’ve arrived get ready to disembark.

Garp then stood in the doorway and soon a bubble started growing from his nose and deflating repeating such a process. One thing I’d learned is that the reason Grandad constantly slept was because he needed to maintain his energy it was a habit he picked up from chasing roger and so in non combat situations he would sleep. My things were not hard to gather and soon I was ready and we stepped off the boat. I was excited knowing that I was going to meet my new family and I was excited to have some friends. Filled with anticipation I walked with Garp up a mountain and knocked on the door. Immediately a few shouts were heard followed by a giant of a woman opening the door and silently observing us.
