Chapter 169 – Start of the Voyage

  Jayr POV - Blue Star, ??? - 20 GAP

  Hearing about the superhuman level of physical power that the people living in this world reach certainly surprises Poseidon's Marinas especially the Soldier and Rankless ones, who with their mastery of o are only slightly strohan a normal human, and as a matter of fact, their bodies durability is exactly the same as those of other humans without their Scales proteg their bodies.

  But soon Chrysaor Krishna decres, "Even so, they will still fall before the might of the Kundalini that sleeps within our body, and they won't be able to harm us as rotected by the Scales gifted by our Lord Poseidon." making the Lower-Ranked Marinas regain their calm.

  Hearing that, I simply shake my head, and Nikita, annoyed by his arrogance, with a scoff says, "Their physical powerness isn't the only threat you will face. The people of this world have their own ways to gain supernatural powers."

  I nod and following after her, I start to expin, "There are 2 major ways to gain power in this world. The first one is accessible to anyone who is lucky enough to find themselves with one of them in their hands, I'm talking about the Devil Fruits."

  With their focus once more on me, I tinue, "Devil Fruits are mysterious, distinctive fruits scattered throughout this world, known for permaly granting their eaters superhuman powers and an equally perma inability to swim. Each Devil Fruit grants a special power to anyone who eats it, from the simplest powers possible, such as stretg like rubber, to powers capable of causing rge-scale destru like creatihquakes with a wave of one's hand."

  At this point, the Soldier and Rankless Marinas once more start to get uneasy, while a frown forms on the Capitan's faces, meanwhile, Poseidon who already knows something about it from what I showed him before appears intrigued and curious to know more.

  Seeing all that, I don't stop especially sihe girls and kids are also ied in knowing more, "Each Devil Fruit is unique, and there is no other like it, that is, there is no Devil Fruit that has the same power as ahese fruits are broadly grouped into three csses: Zoan, which allows a user to transform into an animal as well as an animal hybrid, Logia, which grants a user the power to create, trol, and transform their body into any natural element, and Paramecia, which offers any of a vast array of strange abilities that do not fit into the other two categories."

  Then I also add something about the Logia Fruits to warn and advise them, "Moreover, the Logia fruit are the rarest and publically known as the most powerful as they grant their user a form of intangibility, which means that the only way to harm them is with a ter element, or the use something called Haki, or using your o as if you are aiming to hit a ghost or spirit, and I don't know if you Marinas are trained for that as it needs quite a lot of fih one's o."

  Then remembering something else I add, "Ah, I almost fot, there is a clear weakhat all the Devil Fruits Users share. For some reason the sea hates as Devil Fruit users, causing them to bee weak and helpless while submerged in water to the point that they 't even move or use their abilities. And there is also a material called Seastone which has the same effe them."

  At this point, a smirk forms on everyone's face, because for them, Poseidon's Marinas the sea is their greatest ally to the point that their o literally bees stronger uer, and the sea itself aids them in their battles, and now that I think about it, it is possible that the Scales, the armor blessed by Poseidon, may have the same effect as the Seastone, something that they also realize seeing their expressions.

  Noting their rea, I once again tih my lesson, "But the Devil Fruits are only a shortcut, an unreliable quick way to power that everyone ce upon, the true powerhouse of this world do not rely ohey practid master something they call Haki."

  After that, I start to expin, "Haki is a mysterious power that allows the user to utilize their own spiritual energy for various purposes. This mysterious power is dormant in every living being, but most people around the world never even learn about the existence of Haki, let alone how to utilize it. The people who do usually awaken it through proper instru and interaining... Does it remind you guys of something?"

  Hearing my question, Siren Sorrento quickly replies, "From how you describe this power, it seems very simir to o, at the very least some principles seem to match with what we know about o."

  I smile and say, "That's right. Haki is somewhat simir to o, and that is also the reason why we are able to use our o in this universe. Anyway, Haki is separated into three categories or types."

  I show them my raised index, middle, and ring fingers and start to expiypes of Haki as I lower my ring finger and say, "The three types of Haki are: the Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki), which gives the user a sixth sense of the world around them, allowing them to sehe preserength, aions of other people, even if they are out of sight or far away. It also grants limited preitive abilities, allowing the user to seheir oppos' iions and predict their as and attacks before they happen. And at an advanced level, the Kenbunshoku allows the user to actually foresee a short period into the future."

  Then I lower my middle finger and move to the , "The Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), which allows the user to use their own spiritual energy as armor to defend against attacks, as well as make their own attacks more potent. As I hinted before, it also be used to bypass Devil Fruit defenses, such as Logia intangibility. A person apply the armament to a se of their body, over their entire body, and even imbue it onto their ons. But it is also easy to notice as a coating of Busoshoku will cause the coated area to turn a shiny bck, and a particurly thid powerful coating will have a fme-like pattern along its edge. Moreover, at advanced level, the Busoshoku allows the user to emit the armament a short distahout a medium. There is also a higher grade of advanced Busoshoku allows the user to make the emitted armament flow into a target's body aroy it from the i."

  After that, I lower my index finger and expi one, "And the st is the Haoshoku Haki (queror's Haki), which grants the user the ability to unleash their own willpower to overpower the will of others. This results in victims beially overwhelmed by the user, with particurly weak-willed foes instantly losing sciousness. It also apply pressure onto objects and damage them, a csh between two particurly strong Haoshoku users is capable of "splitting the heavens". Uhe other types of Haki which be learned by anyone, Haoshoku is a rare ability that only one in several million people are born with the ability to use. At advanced level, the Haoshoku allows the user to iheir quering spirit into their ons and physical attacks, greatly augmenting their power. Only a small handful of the most powerful Haoshoku users are able to achieve this. Another advanced level of the Haoshoku allows for the ability to manipute one's aura or presence, whiegates an oppo's ability to sehe user with Kenbunshoku Haki."

  Then I clude the lesson with, "Most people who use Haki tend to have oype that they are better at, and, as a result, focus on training and fighting with that type primarily. However, a person improve their abilities with all the types of Haki, it just requires more work. Each type of Haki has levels of usage, so even two profit users might not be of equal strength. Furthermore, it is possible to use at least two types of Haki simultaneously. In short, Haki ehe people of this world to rea incredible level of power just like o as many of their application overps, but I'm of the idea that o is way more versatile and powerful, or maybe the people of this world didn't scratch even the surface of Haki's true potential yet... at least this all I know about it, but my information are inplete and I could be wrong."

  Doh telling Poseidon and especially his Marinas everything they have to know, I look at the God of the Sea and ask, "So, I kept my promise and led you to this world, which I'm sure is very patible with your divinity. What do you pn to do now?"

  Poseidon first weirdly ughs out loud, clearly showing his appreciation for this world, as he yells, "Pohahaha! Yes, you were right. This world is perfee!" then he replies, "Now, I and my Marinas will search for the perfect pce to rebuild my realm, Atntis, so that I fully ect with this world. After that, I will lead the Marinas into guiding this world in the right dire. I won't allow the mistake and the horror that humanity did oh to repeat itself in this world. I won't allow them to taint this beautiful pure phis time especially since I don't have to share it with as many Pantheons as there are oh."

  Hearing that, I have to admit that I'm surprised, I expected that Poseidon would have acted in a way more tyrannical and violent manner, especially since he basically came with an army.

  Poseidon notices my surprise and with a knowing smirk he asks, "Is it really that surprising?"

  At the same time, Saori chuckles and says, "Jayr, you have to remember that as the God of the Seas, Poseidon is just like them, he be moody at times, just like the sea, and also has a lot of ambition, but he also be very gentle, protective, and nourishing. There is a reason why the Marinas willingly follow and worship him, and it isn't because of fear, but for what he did for them."

  At this point, Baian steps forward and says, "That's true. For many of us, Lord Poseidon is our savior, when we were at our lowest and nobody else cared for us or offered their help no matter how many times we screamed for it. He was the one who answered and came to our rescue, saved us, offered his support, and gave us strength. This is why we follow him."

  Then Poseidon asks back, "What about you? What do you pn to do?"

  I shrug my shoulders and reply, "Well, this is a family outing, so we will just travel around the world enjoying the sights, helping people, taking care of some living filth, and more importantly, I will search for some traces of the other Champion, see if he is still in this world and what kind of person he is, if he is a good person and he made this world better, then I'll let him be. If he is of the unsavory kind then it will be time for some godly judgment."

  Hearing that, Poseidon once mhs and ents, as he walks toward the sea, "Pohahahaha! This brings me back to the Ages of Myths! What did Zeus always say: The family that smites together, stays together! Well, Athena, Jayr, bon voyage!"

  Then Poseidon jumps into the waters and soon after, all the Marinas follow after him after respectfully greeting us.

  After a few seds, the only ones remaining on the shores of this small isnd are I, Seika, Saori, Eri, Tio, the kids, the family pet Python and Nikita who then asks, "So? Where are we? And where are we going?".

  And with a smirk, I reply, "Somewhere in one of the Four Seas, and I don't know." surprising Nikita who once more asks, "Wait! You don't know? Aren't you a god capable of sensing everything in the universe!?"

  With a wider smirk I reply, "Yes, I'm, but sihis is a family adventure, I decided to limit my seo a distance of a few kilometers which won't spoil anything, but will still enable me to keep us safe." then pulling out an old pass I decre, "Of course, we won't be totally clueless, this is ill use the pass of Eternal Paths which will point us to our desired dire! In our current case the habitated isnd!"

  Saying that I turn around and input my Spiral o into the pass of Eternal Paths and watch the needle quickly pointing at the west, seeing that, I smile and decre, "And so our dire will be west!"

  Having a general dire, I walk closer to the waters and say, "It's time t out our ride and home for the whole duration of this adventure!"

  At this point, Seika with a zy Python lying on her shoulder steps forward and says, "So we will finally see Athena's Bidoof again! You kept her hidden from us for way too long." followed by Saori with little Galen in her arms that says, "That's right, you said that you wao give an upgrade to her because the waters of this world were too dangerous."

  Then Eri nods, and ents, "We all agreed because we also didn't want to ride another ship as we shared too many fond memories with her..."

  While saying that, Eri blushes as she starts to remember what kind of memories we made ohena's Bidoof, at the same time, Tio o her with little Kharna in her arms also nods with a perverted smile on her face, which is luckily hidden from the kids as their gazes are currently focused on me.

  With a smile on my face, I face my family giving my back to the beautiful clear sea and spreading my arms wide in a theatrical manner, I start my improvised introductory speech taking inspiration from the iie used by Tony Stark, "In this world they say that the best ships are those made of Adam Wood. I respectfully disagree. I prefer a ship made of wood enhanced with priceless materials and infused with my own blood, energy, and sweat. That's how my teacher Mu did it, that's how Muvia... and it's worked out pretty well so far sihe Age of Myths. And so I present to you the in Jayr Industries' Family Adventure line."

  At this point of the speech I focus on the hidden Athena's God Bidoof in my Soulbouory and teleport her into the waters behind me, making her crash iers and kick up a fast-moving wave that is about to crash on the shore and submerge my body as I decre, "Ladies alemen, for your sideration… the Athena's God Bidoof."

  Right after that, the wave geed by Athena's God Bidoof's appearance swallows my body dreng me as the kids happily giggle at the whole se, making by think, 'I'll admit it, the shockroduced by the Jeriissile was cooler, but at least Kharna and Galen are having fun, so it's okay.'

  Meanwhile, after a few moments of silence, Seika asks in shock as she looks at the 50 meters long and 30 meters tall battleship, "How that be the Athena's Bidoof!?" while Nikita yells, "Is it even a sailing ship to begin with? Is it just me or does that look like some kind of spaceship!?"

  I see that Saori, Tio, and Eri also nod and agree with Seika and Nikita, so I expin, "Well, she is now the Athena's God Bidoof, but at its core is still the same ship we had as I carefully recycled the Athena's Bidoof to make sure of that. And yes, I may have gotten a little too excited as she now easily travel on water, uer, in air, space, and even through a bck hole, and her ons are strong enough to destroy just about anything we want to destroy if enough energy is feed into them, and more important, she withstand pretty muything this universe throw at her and even more."

  After that, I teleport everyone ohena's God Bidoof's deck, and as soon as Seika and Saori set their feet on the ship, they start to look around in wonder as they mutter at the same time, "This feeling... she truly feels like Athena's Bidoof..."

  The one feeling that the most is Seika, after all, she is the ohat, besides me, has the stro e with the Athena's Bidoof as she was with me when we first brought her, and when we sailed our world's water together, as well our first "home".

  Then I give them a tour of Athena's God Bidoof's interior, and once more they are surprised by the spaside, as it is bigger than our vil, in fact, it is so big that easily host a few hundred people, moreover, it is fully equipped with all kinds of aodations that leaves nothing to be desired, it is basically a moving luxury home.

  I also ected our vil in my Soulbouory to the Athena's God Bidoof, making so that my family always go bay Soulbouory even if I'm not here, making so that everything we need is at our disposal.

  Doh the tour, we all move to the bridge, where I install the pass of Eternal Paths on the helm in front of the captain's fy seat, then I input my Spiral o and turn on the Spiral Engine, making Athena's God Bidoof hums to life, and Seika once more ents surprised, "She is... happy? How I...?" while Nikita asks, "How a ship be happy?"

  But I simply smile at them and say, "Of course she is happy. We finally sail together after so many years, do you have any idea how much she wao do that? Athena's God Bidoof isn't only a ship. It is my and Seika's first home and love , and more importantly, a member of our family now that she evolved."

  And in respoo my words, Athena's God Bidoof once more happily hums, surprising Nikita while Seika, Saori, Eri, and Tio smile widely, and at the same time, Kharna in Tio's arms giggles, Pythos out a low gentle hiss, and Galen in Saori's arms yells, "Family!"

  I sit on the captain's seat and say, "Well, we are now ready to start our family adventure in this world." but before I tinue, Nikita raises her hand and asks, "Wait! How are we gonna trol this ship? I know nothing about sailing and even less about what this kind of spaceship do, and more importantly, this ship is so big, that I don't think is possible for the few of us to trol it."

  I simply shake my head and say, "You don't have to worry about that. I built Athena's God Bidoof in such a way that be trolled by simply a few people, in fact, everything be trolled by the person sitting on the captai using ohought and iions, or by Crateris if it is installed in the Engine Room, moreover, it is also possible for Athena's God Bidoof to pilot herself when her budding soul grows strong enough, sure she would still o be powered by the Spiral Engine for that, but a Spiral Engine powered by my Spiral o basically work forever as long as it isn't all ed to power the P Buster on."

  Realizing that I'm starting to digress, I clude, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about that, I do everything from here, and if I get tired anyone else take my pce."

  At this point, Tio asks, "Husband... then what about that helm and the other seats in this pce? Are they fake?"

  I shake my head and reply, "Of course not, the helm, the on trol system position, the defense trol system position, the flight trol system position, the unication system position, and the navigation system position that I built here aren't only for decoration, they are all fully w and quite easy to use too. After all, simply steering the ship and the other trols is quite simple, but doing that, and at the same time trolling the defehe ons, and the other little nuances mid-battle could be too much for everyone else but I, Saori, Crateris, and Athena's God Bidoof, so these positio to divide the load in case something happens."

  After that, I look at the pass of Eternal Paths installed on the helm and once more firming the dire of our first unknowination, and once agaiing the urge to use my seo feel what to expect there as I don't want to spoil this, so I will simply keep them at a range slightly rger than the usual Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki).

  Then I g my family plus Nikita and decre, "The Pucci family and friends' voyage around the One Piece World finally starts!!" followed by the cheers of the kids.

  And so under my and, Athena's God Bidoof starts to move toward our destination at cruise speed, and the girls leave the bridge to enjoy the sun and rex on the deck, leaving behind only Galen who is looking at everything on the bridge in wonder and Python who is noed around my arm peacefully sleeping.

  Seeing the pure fasation in Galen's eyes, I decide to lead him on the holy path of enjoying mecha anime, so, I make a TV s appear in front of us, and without hesitation, I py the great masterpiece that is Gundam Seed, and so while I'm trolling Athena's God Bidoof, I also enjoy the story of Kira Jesus Yamato with my son, of course, no matter how smart he is, Galen is still a few months old and so at the end of the first episode, he too follows Python's example and starts to sleep.

  Seeing that, I smile and turn off the s then as I tio trol Athena's God Bidoof, I che the girls' situation, ahat they are still rexing on the deck but notice that Kharna is now also asleep, but she is in her dragon form and is cutely sn some random elements from time to time, while Tio in her swimsuit is yio her.

  Meanwhile, Seika is putting some suns on her body as she has some quite sensible skin, and Saori and Nikita are calmly pying some chess, of course, Nikita is gettiroyed as pying that game with the literal Goddess of Wisdom and War is the most stupid thing anyone do, not even Crateris is able to beat her, and it see the future.

  And so the journey peacefully tinues, something strange in itself as I half expected to meet some pirates or corrupted marihe first few minutes but it seems that everything is calm, not even a News Coo flying around is seen.

  Realizing that I start to think, 'Now that I think about it, I don't know much about the year 20 of the Great Age of Pirates... What I know is that the Champion that reinated in this world chose to be born the same year as Ace, this means that we are all 18 at the moment, and from what I remember, Ace left Dawn Isnd st year at the age of 17... but I don't know when Ace exactly joined Whitebeard's family... Oh well, that doesn't matter to make this world a better pce, I just have to obliterate Teach, snuff out Akainu, make a sweeter with Donquixote Dofmingo, and erase the 5 elders and all the shitty Celestial Dragons if the other Champion didn't already do so.'

  While thinking that, we close on to our destination as from the bridge I clearly see nd in the dista is a somewhat big archipego of many smaller isnds, and on the one I notice a small tropical seaside vilge with a simple wooden dock for ships, and seeing that, I steer Athena's God Bidoof toward that vilge, at the same time, I use Telepathy to warn the girls that we are about to reach our first stop in this world.
