Chereads / A Unique Beginning(A one piece story) / Chapter 2 - what do you expect of me?

Chapter 2 - what do you expect of me?

Funny enough moments after me and Zoro exchanged names I passed out on the spot for no apparent reason.

Rubbing my bleary eyes, I look around at my surroundings, and what I see is the clear blue sky and clouds floating aimlessly, in that brief moment I wish I was a cloud as my life would be so much simpler.

But I'm forced back to realty with my mind catching up to me and forcing me to remember that I'm most likely not even in the same dimension as earth anymore,which is a rather abrupt situation to attempt to understand, and I wasn't in a position to spend time researching how I transmigrated.

I mean the fight I was just apart of was nowhere near the level of fight that happen in the present timeline of one piece, I mean splitting the sky with a basic attack is pretty much expected at this point.

And compared to fights like luffy vs kaido, my fight against a bunch of bandits is kinda obsolete, there's no comparison.

Even then I struggled to fight just one bandit let alone someone like kaido, I mean I'd probably be dead if I didn't somehow regenerate.

Which also doesn't make sense cause why can I regenerate when I CLEARLY COULDNT DO IT BEFORE.

Anyway we'll leave that topic until I have some more info about it, but the conclusion I've managed to come to is that I need to become stronger, otherwise I'm most likely going to be killed off if I ever attempt to change the main timeline.

So I've decided I need to chose myself a dream a chase it no matter the repercussions, cause any one piece fan knows that the truly strong people are the ones with goals perceived as impossible.

But the problem I have is that I haven't found my dream yet, so I've decided to put it on hold until I can follow my chosen path.

In the mean time I need to start training and figure out what point in the plot am I (eg how long till luffy sets sail).

I was planning on continuing planning but I noticed that Zoro was trying to talk to me and I've just been ignoring him.

"SAMMM stop ignoring me you little brat" him clearly being annoyed, was attempting to catch my attention.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" as I was lost in my own thoughts I failed to here him till he shouted which caused me to jump up in fright and nearly fall off the boat which I hadn't even realised I was in one till that moment, but luckily Zoro managed to grab my arm before I fell.

"Sigh, thank god i thought I was a goner that time, morning Zoro, where we off to."I attempted to play me screaming like a girl off, but Zoro wasn't gonna let it off as I see him immediately laughing hysterically rolling around the boat while calling me a wussy.

"Hahahahahahahahahah you nearly shat yourself hahahahah" Zoro clearly thought me nearly falling off the boat was hilarious as he couldn't stop laughing.

By this point I had enough of it and decided diss him" I don't know why your laughing as if your hair doesn't look like lettuce"

Zoro didn't appreciate my comment at he immediately headbuts me" huh who you calling a piece of lettuce, big guy"

As I was about to retort back to home I remembered that I'm only alive because this guy killed all the bandits while I was unconscious so I decide to let is slide this time.

I cough into my hand to gain Zoros attention "even tho I was put into that situation by you in the first place, thank you for saving my life"

Zoro looked up to me and cracked a smile while saying "finally showing some manners, huh kid" I he says to me with a smirk.

Now at this point I know he was trying to agitate me but I somehow ignored it"well Zoro what happened after I passed out" i decided to ask Zoro to fill in the gaps.

Zoro quickly goes on to tell me in his own prideful voice by saying that after I passed out he dragged the first guys body he killed cause it turns out he actually had a bounty on him, so he decided to cash in, after doing so I hopped onto his boat dragging me along with him cause in his words"I felt like it".

If I'm being honest I didn't mind all that much as me being with Zoro gives me a few opportunities take advantage off for example finding out about the timeline, and hopefully learning how to fight.

I figured I should ask him where we're heading" Zoro, what island are you taking us too" Zoro then looks at me in confusion before going "wherever the wind takes us".

This is when I remembered that Zoro doesn't know navigation which was fantastic, so I was stuck in the middle of nowhere with no destination, I mean we could be stranded at sea for days before finding land, and that's if we're lucky, in that moment I quickly decided to add learning navigation to the bucket list.

————————————————————

It's been a few hours since we started drifting and Zoro with his massive appetite has ate all the rations,and we've barely even spoken but to be fair in this time that I've been given I've managed to come up with a solid plan of action.

The plan goes as such

1.first become physically healthy(eg lose the weight) and I've released that mostly likely what ever ability heals me properly helps with the rate of muscle growth and recovery. So to test this a did as many push-ups and squats I could do and shortly after I released I healed rapidly but in exchange my stamina plummeted making me extremely tired.

I've came to the conclusion that I can heal from wounds by speeding up the rate of recovery, but in exchange I am forced to rest more, but further testing still needs to be done as the drowsiness didn't appear until I was physically and mentally relaxed.

2. I need to chose a weapon currently I'm undecided and am going to wait till I find a weapons store and whatever calls out to me the most is what I'll chose to pursue.

3.I roughly have 1 year and 8 months till canon begins, I found this out by asking Zoro when he first set sail and he informed me that he set sail four months ago and I remember Zoro was roaming the east blue for 2 years before meeting Zoro, no why this might not be the most amount of time to become a power house but hopefully I can accomplish something by then.

4. ME AND ZORO ARE STILL STRANDED.
