Chapter 3 - The Goat Himself

"One Piece eh?"

I pondered about the situation I'm in. I've watched One Piece, but I never really got TOO deep into it, I was just a casual fan that was on their phone occasionally when watching One Piece. So I don't really know the exact timeline and how some things work.

Although thinking hard about the danger of the One Piece world, I was too hungry to even be worried, and the constant reminder of my stomach growls kept my thoughts in check.

*Growls*

I sighed and got out of my stupor, standing up and going outside. I got down from the ship and went to the forest. 

Bored, I asked a question, "Hey, is that everything you can do?"

[As of right now, yes.]

Looking at the text with indifference, I ordered it to abandon the mission, "Abandon the mission, and give me something that will actually give me a good reward. But make it something I can actually do"

[Ding!]

The familiar sound echoed in my ears as I read the new quest given upon me.

[Quest

Find water, hunt and cook your own food!

Time: 3 Days

Reward: Starter Gift Pack]

Intrigued, I commented on the new reward, "That gift better be good"

Deep into the forest, nothing surprising showed up, nor anything dangerous. I have yet to see any evidence of predators. Only birds that feast on insects or animals that eat plants are the only animals in the surrounding area. Although I don't understand how such an ecosystem could ever survive, I do understand that the world of One Piece is a weird one.

 After a few minutes of walking, searching for a meal, I have finally found a white rabbit with its family of 3. I readied my stance and leaped towards the biggest rabbit. However, to my dismay, the rabbit easily dodged and looked at me with confusion.

"Hehehe, so you are a worthy opponent huh?! Come! Our fight will be legendary!"

-10 minutes later-

*Huff* *Huff*

Sweat dripped from my forehead as I stared at the rabbit that's looking at me with pity in her eyes.

"What.. *Huff*... Kind of rabbit is this little shit? I swear to god if I catch you, I'll catch your kids and eat them too!"

The rabbit seemingly understanding my words had its eyes turn red and anger written on its face. The rabbit lunged at me and started kicking, punching, and biting.

I layed down on the floor, covering my head while being curled up and yelling, "Stop! Stop! It was a prank!"

-5 minutes later-

"That rabbit is a fucking menace. How the hell is it so strong?"

I said while sitting down, crossed legged, the same as my arms. However, bruises covered my face with my eyes and mouth fully swollen and a huge bump on my head.

"She must be the strongest in this forest!"

Nodding my head with a smile on my face, "I knew I wasn't weak"

I got up and searched for another source of food. Although there were some plants and fruits that looked edible, I wanted to catch meat all by myself and eat meat, and will use the plants and fruits as my last resort. 

-1 hour later-

"Fuck this place!"

Everything I tried did not work. From throwing rocks at birds, to making traps for that stupid rabbit. 

I was walking in a random direction while kicking a rock and pouting, until I heard something. It was the sound of rushing water hitting the surface of another body of water. It was a waterfall!

Delighted, I ran towards the sound with the biggest grin someone could possibly have. The thought of hunting fish and drinking fresh water made my saliva go wild.

After running for what felt like eternity, I finally arrived where the sound came from. The sight was beautiful. The water was blue as the sky and clear as lens. Beautiful green trees surrounded the ferocious waterfall as it made loud, yet calming sounds. Furthermore, there was plenty of life in the water, and most of the fishes were as big as my arms.

I jumped around like a monkey yelling retarded words such as, "Yippie!"

I stripped off all my clothes and jumped into the body of water. The water was cold and the pulling of the water was wild. The waterfall hits the body of water that flows into a river, so the current was untamed, but it wasn't strong enough to fully pull me.

-1 Hour later-

It took me a whole hour just to catch 1 fish. Although it was just singular, it was bigger than my arms, enough to feed my hunger. It took me a while as I had no hunting experience, but it was through grit and feral instinct that led me to catching this wild fish.

I took the gigantic fish out of the water and killed it by bashing a rock into its head. Feeling accomplished, I stood up, unclothed, and put my arms on my hips as I grinned and said, "Now, how do you start a fire?"

I have never made fire without any lighters or matches before, and I have only watched people do it. 

Another hour passed as I tried to make a fire for myself, and finally, I made my own fire. It was exhausting, but the lessons taught to me by the OutDoorBoys were useful enough for me to start my own fire.

I cleaned and cooked the gigantic fish on the fire I made and ate till I was full. After finishing the whole fish, I burped and used the bones as my toothpick. 

[Ding!

Quest completed! 

Inventory accessible! 1 Item has now been put in your inventory!]

Staring at the notification with indifference, I blurted out, "Oh, the mission. I forgot all about it."

Pondering, I asked myself, "And for some reason, I'm still hungry. I never ate this much before… I wonder why?"

Shrugging at my own question, I asked the system to open my gift, "Well anyway, open my inventory and open the gift pack"

The blue screen expanded as it showed boxes upon boxes with one singular item inside a singular box. The item was visually the same as the box I picked up earlier from the ship. 

After demanding the item to be opened, the itemed expanded to the point where it covered most of the screen. It shook and shook till it opened, and an interface showed, where a body rotated. The body was blank with nothing on it, and on the left side of the rotating body, there was the option of changing the appearance of the 'avatar.'

However, what shocked me more was something to the right of the avatar. It was the description of someone. And that someone was,

"Is that the fucking builder from Clash of Clans?"
