Chapter 4 - reinforcing Beliefs and Goals

As the hours ticked by, my malnourished body stirred with latent potential, a raw canvas awaiting excavation. Resolute, I envisioned becoming a miner of untapped strength, my goal clear from the moment I laid eyes on that mysterious fruit.

But clarity alone wasn't sufficient; I craved an obsession. A simple and pure life goal wasn't enough; I needed to carve the mastery of Haki into the very marrow of my bones. This goal, to transform my will into an indomitable force, needed branding deep within my soul.

From this point onward, my existence revolved around a singular purpose – mastering Haki, turning my will into a tempest so potent it could shatter the world.

Yearning for a robust body, I knew my will needed a sturdier vessel to overcome limits repeatedly. My hungry, skinny form needed fortification, and my gaze settled on the island's bounty. Careful to avoid Devil Fruits, I sought sustenance, seeing my body as a mere tool, a means to amplify my will.

Feasting on juicy fruits, my hunger transformed into a primal urge to train. My unconventional regimen involved wild movements, climbing, fighting, and eating. I anticipated wild, unforgiving battles – the swiftest path to awaken my latent Haki.

Despite not having awakened it, I felt my will slithering within me like molten lava, potent and ready to be unleashed. My Will, while not the strongest, surpassed the average. The challenge lay in my body's weakness, hindering Haki's awakening.

Running and jumping through the forest, I spotted birds with sharp claws. Hungry for meat, I engaged them with a wooden stick, an attempt that revealed my lack of strength in this world's terms. Undeterred, I accepted the reality – a long journey ahead.

Survival on berries and fruits became my temporary reality, a stepping stone. Patient and confident, I believed my lifespan wouldn't impede my journey toward unparalleled abilities, driven by the unwavering will that coursed through my veins. For now, I would thrive on the bounty of the island, a prelude to the epic tale that awaited me.
