[Some minor correction in Observation Haki range made in this chapter]
( One and half years later )
It's been four years since I've been inhabiting this world. I am now 19 years old. As my height approaches 2 meters and a lean muscular body coupled with a mature face, I look like I'm in my early 20s. I'm thankful my body training don't produce any bulky muscles, while still increasing body attributes. As far as appearance is concerned I am glad I chose Aizen Sousuke from bleach. It was the first name that came to my mind then. You can say that I'm handsome with a good proportional built. Now enough with the narcisistic thoughts let's see my progress in the last one and half years.

As I guessed, It became really hard to level up my devil fruit control. In these one and half years I only leveled it up 14 times.
The radius of the forest I can create increased a little to 450 meters, same as the maximum height of the tree I can create in a hurry. Maximum dimensions of a rushed wooden creation also increased to 450 meters. Also the range and speed of wood spike, vines and carnivorous plants increased to 450 meters and just under mach 3 respectively. My wood golem can now be up to the height of 120 meter. I have also improved the speed and explosive power of my exploding seeds. Not many could deal with almond sized seeds flying at near mach 3 and exploding on contact, even with haki. My other moves have similarly improved.
I have even made something similar to senzu bean from Dragonball. It can return anyone who consumes it into peak physical condition no matter the injury except illnesses. But I can only make one per day so I have have been stockpiling it in my storage ring for nearly a year. There are 354 of these cashew nut shaped miracle medicine in my storage ring. Oh, and I made them taste like cashew nuts too, just because I can.
As you can see I maxed out boxing and the primary rokushiki techniques.
For boxing as I have guessed I learned how to do the king's punch. As I speculated that move lets you apply multiple times your maximum body strength in a single punch, in this case exactly 50 times and so the long warm up time. But what is more important is I can use the same principle to apply less than 5 times the maximum body strength to all boxing moves such as punch, jab, uppercut etc with little to no warm up. This has much more utility than the original king's punch, as no one is going sit there and wait while you warm up. Seriously the only real use of the king's punch is as a demolition move.
I have also mastered the six Rokushiki techniques and unlocked the seventh secret skill, Rokuougan.
With Soru now I can change directions mid movement and attack without stopping. The maximum distance covered and speed also increased.
For Geppo I can now use it without any sound and it can used it in cojunction with soru to move quickly through air. I can also stay a longer time in the air.
With Rankyaku I can now cut a battleship in two. It can now be used by both legs simultaneously and I can use it's variations like changing the blades shape to shuriken, wolf etc. Also it can now cut steel.
For Shigan I can now use all 10 fingers simultaneously and all fingers can use flying finger gun simultaneously. My tobu shigan now has good penetrating power too. I can also rapid fire Shigan upto 10 times.
With Kami-e my flexibility is at a new degree. I am now very hard to hit. I can even flatten myself to an ridiculous degree.
For Tekkai I can use it fully while moving and even use other techniques like soru with in active.
With six Rokushiki techniques mastered I can now use combinations of them like using Shigan with Tekkai active and combining Soru with Shigan etc. Also I got access to Rokuougan (six king gun). It alone cost 50 million beli.
The way it works is I place both my fist infront of my target and launches a devastating shockwave which seems to have the same power to an impact dial or a reject dial (depending on the amount of energy absorbed by the dial) and cause massive internal injuries. At first I was out of breath after using it but with near one year of training I don't get tired from it and can use it once every 30 seconds. Now I only need one fist to lauch the attack.
My haki training had the most progress in this one and half years, seems like I had some minor talent in haki and it got magnified by my 20 × growth in martial arts related skills.
From my training in Observation Haki I now have a sort of sixth sense for any danger within 100 meters. If try to use it actively I can detect anything within 20 kilometer radius, not in any detail though. I can also detect the emotions of those within my range if I want.
In the case of Armament Haki I can coat my whole body and any body part individually with it. The colour of of it is pitch black as opposed to being colourless when I started. I can also imbue my weapons with Armament Haki.
As for Conqueror's Haki, I had the most progress in it. My range have increased to 1 kilometer. I can now select who my haki will affect. I can also shield others from my opponents Conquerer's Haki though I ony know the theory I need to practice it on against real enemies. I can also choose the effect of my haki on the target like slight mental pressure to fainting to brain death. I particed these on particularly viscious animals, the type that likes to play with their prey.
My progress in sword training is also excellent. I have long past the stage of cutting steel. I can expertly do the common moves like slash, parry, riposte, counter etc ( An: I hope these are sword moves). I can also do the 'flying slash' where the pressure from the swing produces an air blade. My flying slash can cut apart a battleship easily. I can also control the size and shape of the air blade.
A problem that cropped up during sword practice is I had broken hundreds of swords. But the store only sells good quality unnamed swords but they can't last me very long. So I tried to make myself a better sword. My blacksmithing level is enough for me to craft grade swords the lowest grade of the named swords (Meito). After a few failed attempts I crated my first named sword named first (shodai). Now I'm using third (sandai), these last much longer than ordinary swords.
For my gun training I started with the muskets common in one piece world. But it wasn't long before I was able to recreate guns from my world. It wasn't that hard with my blacksmithing skills and technological expertise to recreate a revolver first, then other guns like shotgun, sniper gun, mini-gun etc. The bullets were also easy to replicate. After I found out I can directly replace an empty catridge with a full one from my storage ring reloading time is no longer a problem. As I haven't figured out how to imbue bullets with armament haki yet I will use seastone tipped bullets for devil fruit users. I can now calculate all the factors affecting a shot (like wind speed, direction etc) in an instant. That coupled with my range of Observation Haki I can succesfully shoot anyone within a 20 kilometer range.
As expected of Humandrills, my sparring partners picked up sword and gun usage within a day after I brough swords and guns appropriate for their size from my shop. Their skill levels in this would be between lvl 50 to 60 now. As shown with Rokushiki they picked up Observation Haki in one month and Armament Haki in two, with my instructions of course as it can't be learned by copying. Their skill level in them would be also between lvl 50 to 60 now.
A new addition to my treehouse is a research room. It started as an extention of the blacksmithing room for recreating modern guns. Soon it had a seperate room in fact the biggest in the treehouse. Inside it are various projects my clones are doing in various stages of completion. The major projects are creating sea stone and recreating the laser used by pacifista. There is even a bullet production line producing different caliber bullets, even seastone tipped ones. I have stockpiled over a million normal bullets and 10,000 seastone tipped ones in my storage ring. Another useful thing I found out was that my clones are not affected by seastone or seawater. So I can let a clone handle seastone when I need to work with it.
After a few months of deliberation I decided to stay on the island for 4 more years. It should give me ample time to awaken my devil fruit and master a few more useful skills.
I decided to tripled my fruit tree so that I would earn a little more than 1 billion beli a year. 5 billion beli is a nice amount to start sailing with.
I also want to become immune to the weakening affect of seastone and sea water. For this I am going to slowly get used to wearing a seastone bracelet while not practicing devil fruit abilities and sparring. My goal is to be able to use my full capabilities with the exception of devil fruit abilities while wearing seastone bracelets.
