Jayr POV - Blue Star, East Blue, i Isnds - 20 GAP

  The day after the dinner with Bell-mère, Genzo, Nojiko, and Nami, we all decide to spend a couple of days expl the rest of the i Isnds, I focus on buying all kinds of seeds that are avaible to grow them in my Soulbouory so as to ter use most them as ingredients for our meals and for those rare few to study their use them for medial application.

  Meanwhile, the girls focus more on sightseeing and shopping, but after a while, we realize that all the vilges of the i Isnds are mostly the same, and even the sights are very simir to that of a regur tropical isnd, so we finally decide to move on to a new isnd.

  And so the day we are standing in front of the small simple wooden dock saying goodbye to Bell-mère's merry family, and the rest of the people of the Cocoyasi Vilge, who are still grateful for the help I offered and after wishing them the best of luck, we all board ohena's God Bidoof and start to sail toward the south where our destination is located.

  The Gecko Isnds, the archipego where Syrup Vilge be found, and also the pce which is the home of one of the best characters ever created, the ohe only, "God" Usopp, and of course also the home of the Going Merry.

  Anyway, our pn is to simply go for a quick stop so that I check if something there also ged from the "" events, and of course to ent the Going Merry with Restoration Magic making so that no matter how much damage she takes, she will always be able to return to her pristine dition, so that tragedy won't happen ever again.

  And so I once again find myself sitting on the captai trolling Athena's God Bidoof, but this time in my arms there are both little Kharna and Galen, as I decided to take care of them so that the girls enjoy some free time for themselves, and of course, Python is also here watg over them.

  Of course, si is almost their nap time, I decide to sing them a few songs, and there isn't a more fitting choice than singing them all the openings of One Pieime, of course, I could have also sung Binks no Sake but I prefer to keep it for a special occasion.

  And so, I gh all the openings I remember in order, the most iic, "We are" followed by "Believe", "Hikari e", "BON VOYAGE!", "Kokoro no Chizu", "Brand New World", "Crazy Rainbow", and right now, I'm singing "Jungle P" while using my Spiral o to gee the musi the background.

  And now, I'm very close to the end of the song, as I'm singing its final verses, "?Life is "Adventurous." Be aware it's "Dangerous." Who's gonna be "One of us." And a trip goes on because, irate of the "Mass." To the West, to the East, gotta find my way, sail away all the way to "One Piece"!!?"

  And looking at Galen, Kharna, and Python's happy aed faces I realize that I have spectacurly failed in lulling them to sleep as they are looking at me with their big sparkling eyes wide open as they giggle and move their little arms to the rhythm, and Python is basically flying around doing some kind of air dance.

  Talking about Python he is still of the same size as he was born, something quite unusual as all snakes grow very fast, some even growing to 0,254 millimeters a day, and so, curious about that, I decided to che him to see if everything is fine, and I'm surprised to find out that Python is growing normally but he is simply using his Spiral o to trol his own size, without that, he would already be a 10 meters long flying serpent.

  This makes me realize, 'At this pace, he could easily bee a p-sized snake, and even more sidering that snakes op growing and that thanks to his extraordinary in, Python is already immortal as long as it doesn't get killed...'

  While I was thinking that, I finished singing "Jungle P", and both Kharna and Galen cpped their hands, while Galen joyfully yelled, "Another one! Another one!"

  And with a wry smile, I trol my Spiral o to gee another musid start to sing the opening, "Share the World"

  The music starts with something that kinda reminds me of a lulby, but soon the music bees more upbeat, and I start singing, "?Ano oozora ni todoku made. I Believe hitotsu no ashita he hey.?(To reach that sky, I believe - to tomorrow of one hey)"

  Then I trol my Spiral o to also produce the chorus as the music picks up even more, "?e o's go everybody oh we share the musie o's go baby baby oh we share the one dream. e o's go everybody oh we share the good times. e o's go baby baby oh we share the one world.?"

  And so, I tio sing the whole song, and luckily it seems that the 11th one is the good one, as the kids finally fell asleep as they finally get too tired to stay awake, so, I stand up from the captai, and mutter, "I leave everything to you, just maintain our current course, and if you feel something off just call me and I'll be here in an instant..."

  I'm of course speaking to Athena's God Bidoof who is already strong enough to slowly sail by herself and adjust her course, but she is still uo do major and delicate maneuvers.

  After that, I teleport to the kids' room aly y them in their brig and then quickly use my seo che the girls.

  Nikita is in her room pying on the PyStation, Tio is actually ier swimming around Athena's God Bidoof, meanwhile, Eri and Saori are on the deck reading some book uhe beach umbrel, and Seika is i as she is already preparing the kids' meal.

  Sensing that, without hesitation, I also move toward the kit and start to help Seika with the kids' meal, falen, we prepare a fresh pureed of Nymphs' fruits and another made of Sea Ki, while for Kharna who is a couple of months older and already has her dragon-like teeth that ch through metal some very nourishing Sea King filet, all of them ing from the Sea King that was living nearby the i Isnds that I hunted down before leaving, and of course, we 't fet Python's part too, only he prefer to eat it raw, so for that, we just season it a little.

  While I am searing the Sea King filet for Kharna, Seika asks, "Should I truly also prepare some Sea Ki pureed fal too? While it is true that this kind of meat is not only very delicious but also ri nutrients a's not fet that it is also able tthen the body... but I'm worried that this could be too much for a small baby like Gal..."

  Hearing the worry ione, I quickly reassure her, "It's fine, while Galen isn't a baby with a monster-like physique like Kharna, he is in no way parable to a normal human beiher. His body from birth was strong enough to withstand the ption of toxic meat like that of the monsters from the Arifureta Universe, that is a trait that he ied from me, moreover, he has a strong Spiral o that will also help him absorb everything from the Sea Ki without waste."

  After preparing the meal for the kids and putting them into the time box o the fridge which keeps the meal in a temporal stasis so that they will be always ready to be ed without w about losing taste etting cold, we also start to prepare our lunch.

  Seika focuses on the side dish she is preparing the Zue al Scapece (Scapece Style Zui) a simple and delicious side dish that works very well with a fish dish.

  She simply cuts the zui into 3-4 mm thick rounds after having rinsed and dried them, sprihem with salt, ahem stand for 1 hour so that they lose the vegetation water.

  In the meantime, she boils water and vinegar and chops the garlic that will be o season the dish.

  After the hour, she resumes the zui, rinses, and dries with a cotton cloth and thearts to fry the zui in a pan with extra virgin olive oil and then, when golden, drain and dry with paper towels.

  In the end, she pours the zui into a bowl and season with the chopped garlic, the mix made with water and vinegar, the fresh mint leaves, and salt and put it to rest for a couple of hours before it be ed.

  Meanwhile, I chose to try and fry the Sea Ki, first I carefully cut it into smaller slices, then I carefully season it with salt, pepper, and some parsley, after, I dredge the slices in flour, shakily to remove any excess flour, and fry the pieces in moderately hot oil, being careful not to crowd the pan, until they are crisp and golden-brown oside.

  Then I drain the meat well on a paper towel and season to taste with fky salt and freshly ground pepper and serve with fresh lemon wedges, ohe dish is ready, I once again put it into the time box and start to the kit with Seika.

  Then I think it is time to reward Seika for her effort by giving her a very throughout massage, an activity that usually ends with some very pleasurable exercise that tinues in our bedroom.

  But just as I'm about to lead Seika toward our room, Athena's God Bidoof slightly hums, letting me know that her radar, capable of deteg everything in a range of 1000 kilometers, picked up that something is happening nearby.

  And so I lightly peck Seika on her lip and after apologizing, we rush toward the bridge while I mutter, "I hope that someone nearby is dying reat natural disaster that will sink an isnd is about to happen... That is the only way I five them for cockblog me!" making Seika beside me giggle.

  At the same time, I tio keep the self-imposed limit on my sensory ability, something quite simple to do as I just have to not foy sehis keeps me limited to only perceiving everything that happens around me in a range of "only" 2 kilometers.

  On the bridge, I sit on the captain's seat and quickly a hologram appears in front of me showing the se of a mert ship uhe assault of a peculiar pirate ship, and seeing that, Seika o me says, "We 't leave them like that! We have to help them."

  Hearing that, I sigh, and then I quickly stand up from the captai and say, "Take trol of the Athena's God Bidoof and carefully move toward them, while I rush there to help them." and quickly jump out of the bridge and start to fly toward the mert ship.

  At the same time, I sense Eri, Saori, Tio, and Nikita quickly ehe bridge and take their positions, ready to give me support with the Athena's God Bidoof's armament, something I'm quite sure is an overkill in this situation, after all, we still are in the East Blue, the weakest of the 4 seas of this world, which is basically the tutorial zone.

  I quickly reach the two ships, and the mert ship is quite a normal ship, but it is now full of pirates, luckily they are more focused on keeping the people on board locked in one pstead of harming them.

  Meanwhile, the pirate ship is quite the gaudy o is a rge pink ship, with four sails, one higher thaher three, each sail has a pi, and the ship herself has two hearts on each side, the figurehead is a dud the somewhat familiar pirates fg flies on the mainmast.

  The Jolly Roger is a traditional skull on crossed bones, however, the skull is depicted from the side and has a pi on it, and no matter how much I look at it, I have the feeling that I have seen something like this before, but 't focus on where exactly.

  But everything bees clear when my eyes nd on the figure standing on the deck of the pink pirate ship.

  Is a tall and very obese woman with long wavy bck hair and freckles on her cheeks, she wears a white cowgirl hat with a rge red plume, a red neckerchief, a pink pid shirt, and a blue captain's coat over it with arms in the sleeves, unlike many other pirates, she also wears rings on her fingers and her long sharp fingernails have a red polish, has a purple sash with a flintlock pistol tucked in it and some jewels, and all this ends with graying pants and red shoes with gold buckles, she is nohan "Iron Mace" Alvida, the version before she eats the Sube Sube no Mi (Slip Slip Fruit) and bees an hot brue bombshell that for my taste easily be on par with Boa Hancock.

  (Image Here - Alvida + more likable version to bleach your eyes)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Seeing that, I 't help but ask myself, 'What is going on with this world!? I've been here for only 31 hours and I have already met, Nami, Nojiko and Alvida, 3 very sexy and hot women... Well, currently Alvida is fugly as fuck, but one 't deny the fact that if she loses all that fat and takes care of herself she bee an incredibly tall, voluptuous, beautiful woman, her glow up with the Sube Sube no Mi (Slip Slip Fruit) more than proved that.'

  Of course, she isn't the only familiar face standing on the deck of the pink ship with a duck figurehead, I also notice a small, timid, chubby boy with kobi pink hair and round-frame gsses hiding behind one of the masts trying to not caty attention for the ship captain, he only be Koby, the character with the greatest glow up, that grew from timid and weak chubby kid to a powerful and strong young man thanks to only his determination and hard work, he is basically a prime shounen manga protagonist archetype.

  (Image Here - Koby)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Looking at the the situation below me, I hesitate on whenever making a move or not, 'What to do!? If I make a move it is very possible that I'll alter the course of this world even more maybe eveing the meetiween Koby and Luffy, and right now Alvida's crew only detaihe people on that ship and robbed everything without harming them, so I could probably close an eye... But should I even care about something that is already clearly altered? From what I know the Champion residing in this world could have already seduico Robin and Hancock, killed Big Mom or Akaien the Goro no Mi (Rumble Rumble Fruit) before Enel, or even vinced Luffy that being a Marine is more fun than being a Pirate. Everything is already different from what I know, so why should I care about what my a could ge?'

  I'm brought back from my musings by Alvida's loud voice as she ands, "I'll ask you!! Who is the most beautiful dy in all of the sea?" making every pirate on both ships yell at the same time, ""That'd be you Alvida-sama!!""

  Alvida then smirks and smacks her huge, heavy, spiked Iron Ma the ground, she yells, "Then why are you guys so slow to follow my ands!? Hurry up and that ship of everything that is of value! I don't want to waste any more time here!!"

  At the same, with my new realization and resolution, I smirk and nd on Alvida's pink ship and loudly say, "Excuse me, but it is time to stop your act of piracy here and now."

  My voistantly catches everyone's attention as they stop moving and start to look at me, at the same time, Alvida turns around and looks at me in surprise for a few moments, but she quickly regains her senses and ents with a smile, "My, my... What a handsome young man you are almost a perfect maty own astonishiy. How about you and I spend some time together, I'm sure it will be quite an enjoyable experience~."

  I shake my head and holy reply, "Sorry, but I already have 4 beautiful girlfriends waiting for me, and while you have the potential to be equally beautiful so much that I wouldn't mind the idea of us spending some fun time together..."

  At this point, I take a slight pause as all the people on both ships are looking at me like I'm some kind of blind fool with a few screws loose while even Alvida is kind of blushing slightly something which doesn't help mu making her appear mirly with her current appearance.

  Then I holy tinue, "...But at the moment you arely o look at, as you didn't take good care of your appearance as you gained way too much weight ruining all the natural beauty that you had, in more direct words, yly. Plus I also have a bit of dislike toward those that harm others without a just cause."

  But soon after that, Alvida bees enraged as she yells, "How dare you call me ugly!!?" then she rushes toward me and attacks me by swinging down her heavy, spiked Iron Mace with all her power as she yells, "Die!!"

  Meanwhile, the hidden Koby yells in worry, "Be careful!!" but I simply let out a sigh and easily stop the ining spiked Iron Mace with the index finger of my left hand making Alvida and everyone else yell in shock, ""Whaaat!!??"" followed by an incredulous Alvida that excims, "That's impossible!!"

  But I simply smile and say, " isn't... It's just that I'm that much strohan you. Anyway, it was nice meeting you and please take better care of yourself as I'm sure that if you do you truly bee a world-shakiy."

  Then without waiting for her response and without aation, I raise my right hand and throw a strong and fast punch at her but stop just before actually hitting her, but that doesn't stop the air pressure geed by my fist from actually hitting Alvida and send her flying out of her ship and beyond the horizon as she let out a grunt of pain.

  At the same time, all the pirates look at the se of Alvida being bloith their eyes and mouths wide open, as they all yell in sho perfect syny, "Alvida-sama!!?"

  Quickly after that, I fre my Spiral o, geing a wave of spiritual pressure that just like the Haoshoku Haki (queror's Haki) overpowers the will of all the pirates around me, knog all of them unscious as they foam from the mouth leaving awake only the sailors on the mert ship and Koby, who is still hidden behind one of the masts of this pink ship with a duck figurehead.

  Koby is the first that realizes what is going on and so he slowly gets out of his hiding spot and as he moves toward me he nervously asks, "W-What was that? H-How did you do it? ho are you?"

  I look at him and introduce myself, "My name is Pucci Jayr, a normal handsome young man expl this world with his family, o meet you." then I look at him and ask, "So what is your name?"

  Even if surprised by the question, Koby quickly replies while stuttering, "M-My n-name is K-Koby. Thank you for saving me from Alvida and her pirate crew. I was captured by them a few months ago when I was fishing, and Alvida kept me for the only reason that I know a little about navigation... so I was forced to work for them as the ship caretaker to stay alive, it was awful."

  At this point, tears start to fall from his eyes as he starts to mutter, "And now, I'm not even sure if I fulfill my dream of joining the Marine and catg the bad guys... for sure they will rejeeone as weak and useless as me..."

  I nod then look at the sailors on the mert ship and with some simple telekinesis, I free them from their bidding and say, "I leave the handling of these pirates to you, just be careful as they all should wake up in around 2 hours."

  While the sailors on the mert ship slowly start to gather the knocked-out pirates, I look back at Koby and ask, "After this experience, do you still want to be a Marine?"

  Koby quickly looks down at his feet, "Yes... I truly want to be a Marine... but I don't think I'll be able to aplish this dream of mine... hehe... maybe it is impossible for someone like me... maybe I should just give up..."

  Seeing him like that brings me the desire to help him fulfill his dream, after all, Koby was one of my favorite characters, and I'm very curious to see what height he reach if he receives my help, especially since Koby's soul is truly something very special, in my eyes, his soul appears of a very beautiful white eaning that he is a true pure soul, something especially rare in someone as old as he is, basically, the only other pure soul that I met until now that isn't a child is Shun.

  But first I have to make sure that this Koby has the same will and drive as his "" terpart.

  And so, I walk toward him and put a hand on his shoulder, and as he looks at me with a tear-stained face, I ask, "What if I tell you that if you are willing to work really hard even enduring tless suffering to the point of being very close to death many times... what if I telling that if you are willing to put this absolutely ridiculous amount of effort that you aplish your dream and not only bee a Mari being the greatest Marine. Will you really give up your dream?"

  Koby looks up at me for a few moments, then he asks, "If... if I really put that kind of effort... I truly aplish my dream...? I truly... bee a Marine?"

  At his question, I simply look him ba the eyes and nod in silence waiting for his ahen with a resolute gaze, he yells, "Joining the Marine and catg the bad guys has always been my dream!!! I'd rather die trying to put in that kind of effort and join the Marihan remain as I am and be a pathetic loser my whole life!!!"

  Hearing that, I smile and say, "Good... then I'll help you fulfill your dream. I'll train you so hard that you will probably end up hating me and it is even possible that you will desire to die at some point. But if you will be able to pull through and persist to the end, I'll assure you that you'll be able to bee a Marine Admiral."

  Koby looks at me with a resolute expression, and then he bows and yells, "Thank you, Jayr-san! I'll be in your care from now on! I promise you that I won't give up. I'll bee a Marine!"

  With a smile, I grab Koby from the scuff of his shirt and fly back to the Athena's God Bidoof while dragging Koby, who is now screaming in panic, back with me.

  Odyin
