Chapter 2: Ability Test!

After setting up a camp using some wood and tattered clothes. Zeone walked to an empty space to check his abilities. There were various information about the abilities he possessed in his memories.

"So, my explosion ability can cause any explosion with my body. Let's see... 'Explode!' *Boom!*"

Zeone thought about his ability and tried to use it. Instantly, his whole body emitted a huge explosion which blasted out all his clothes and became naked.

"Ok! I didn't expect that to happen. Guess, I need to practice naked first. Now, let's try this haki techniques... 'Armed and domineering!' *Buzz!*"

His hand suddenly buzzed and hardened turning his whole hand into black. He felt strong power in his hands but after few seconds it disappeared.

"Huh! My abilities need to be trained properly so that I can use it better in the future. Also, the training methods in my memories doesn't seem hard. Ok! let's take a bath now..."

Zeone finished up his training and went to the pool. But something unexpected happened. When he touched the water, his body instantly felt weak like all his powers were drained out from his body.

He immediately got out of the water and fell to the ground weakly.

"Huh... Huh...! What just happened!? My body felt week just after touching the water? But, I just walked pass by a stream in the forest...!"

Zeone was completely confused, he just walked by in a stream while roaming in the forest but at that time his body didn't weakened like this. He slowly came forward and touched the water, the same thing happened. He then checked the pool and found that the water was salty.

"Well! Sea water!? How did it appear here? But from this, I can be sure of one thing... I can't fucking swim in the sea...!!"

Zeone was very mad. While he was checking on a small hill, he could see the vast sea surrounding the land he was and concluded that he was in an island. But now, he just found out that he can't swim!? That's the worst situation he ever expected as he decided to leave this place after some time.

"Huh! Calm down... Calm down! It seems like I have to be careful while sailing around. But... Why the fuck did this happen to me...!?" A loud cry could be heard throughout the small island.

Zeone was roaring with anger, his strength started surging but suddenly his right hand turned into a bird-like wing.

"Fuck my lif~Eh!!? What the fuck happened to my hand? Shit...!! My hand turned into a bird wing!!"

Zeone was immediately frightened seeing his hand. He was usually a calm and thoughtful man but there's still a limit to how much he could remain calm. The current situation directly broke his calmness.

Zeone tried to tear the scales but it was hard as hell. He lightly waved his hand and three sharp wind blades shot out and directly cut several big trees down.

"Ok! So sharp! It's that strong!? But... It still looks strange. Get me off you bastard!!" Zeone tried very hard by it was useless. Soon, he got tired and sat to the ground but at that time, his hand returned back to normal.

"Hah...! Now I understand! This should be one of my abilities. Maybe I can transform into some sort of bird but I also need to have high mental strength to control it. Whatever! It's still good..."

Zeone instantly understood his situation. He didn't felt strange about it because he had seen several strange things in his past world like dragons, giants, busty elf queen which he fu~*cough!*, etc.

"Well now I have thought of my first goal... To train hard to become strong and live freely. That's it... Let's do that!" Zeone finally decided his first goal. He would train hard to become strong, only then he could live freely without fear.

Just at that moment, Zeone heard a loud bombing sound and several cries coming from the village.

"Bastard! Who's causing trouble to my property."

Zeone got angry seeing someone causing trouble in his place trying to destroy his training land. He immediately rushed back to the village to check the situation.

As soon as he reached the village, Zeone saw the village burning in flame and half destroyed. And to the side, he could see a huge ship with a skull flag and several people laughing and killing the villagers.

"Is it a pirate? So, there's pirates in this world. Heh! This is interesting... Now, let's see how to deal with this guys. First, take down that gunman and the rest are just humans holding swords."

Zeone quickly climbed up a house and quietly walked on the roof towards for the pirates.

There were about 20 of them and only one of them held a rifle. They were just new pirates who started sailing, but on the way, they met the marines and escaped hardly after battling with them. Now, there ship was almost destroyed so they decided to find a small island and make it their temporary base.

But they were unlucky as a little monster was living in that small island.

While they were walking leisurely, a tall figure jumped down from the roof and landed between them. He was a very tall man with dark black hair and blood-red eyes. They wanted to attack but it was to late as the man suddenly bombarded.

"Explode!" *Boom!* A cold voice sounded and the whole area bombarded turning the pirates into ash.

"What!!?" Only one person survived but he was already half burnt, flew out several metres and crashed on a house.

"*Phew!* It seems like I've done a little more..." Zeone showed a bitter smile looking around the large crater. He then walked towards the half alive pirate and lifted him high and started interrogation.

"Who are you guys? What is your goal? Do you know where is this island? Tell me the important things you know about the outside world... Hurry up or you die...!"

Hearing Zeone's words, the struggling pirate instantly became obedient and started talking,

"P~Please don't kille me! I~I'll tell everything I know! We are the BigJaw pirates, and we started sailing to find the legendary treasure 'One Piece'. As for where we are, it's a sea called 'New World'. I don't know much about this world, just that it's controlled by the Marines and World Governments, also there are several strong pirates... that's all!"

"Ok thank you for the little information, but it's not enough to save your life..." Zeone immediately exploded the man into ash and headed towards the ship to take the supplies. From the ship, he found some food, clothes and money. Zeone then went back to the forests handing the ship to the grateful villagers and began his life at the new unknown world...
