AN: I just noticed Webnovel's genius idea of ruining their website by making it obligatory to use their application... Sigh, anyways you can read my FF in both Fanfiction.net or Royalroad.

'Status…' As Yuki muttered inside his head, a screen instantly appeared in front of him showing his current stats but he only focused on his attributes

[Strength 200]

[Speed: 50]

[Vitality: 200]

[Soul: 100]

[Will: 30]

'This is incredible…' Thought Yuki as he could feel the strength coursing through every inch of his body…

'System, why did I grow this strong?' Asked Yuki and the system instantly answered his doubts

[Every cell of the host's body has been destroyed and reconstructed going through a vicious cycle of death and rebirth, and each they did, they grew stronger! The only reason the host can even survive is thanks to his recently acquired buff and having the ability of Superior regeneration]

Yuki didn't know what to think when he heard this and eventually, he simply shrugged and muttered to himself "It seems like I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity if not for my various abilities huh…"

Then, after seeing that he was clean enough, Yuki climbed the ship again, and it didn't escape him that he grew taller and much more shredded!

'Thankfully, these clothes are magical and will autofit according to my body structure... Plus this is pretty much how I used to look in the Tensura world' Thought Yuki as he recalled the special clothes he asked Rimuru to make for him…

…

On the ship, Dragon watched Yuki with his observation Haki before he gave the order to set sail…

"Yuki-kun, how did you get that dirty?" Asked Sabo who was really annoyed for having to clean that mess he left behind and Yuki simply shrugged and responded "It seems like I'm running out of luck, I was on my way here to the ship when a giant bird suddenly decided to take a shit and it landed right on me…"

Sabo smiled slightly and responded "That's indeed unlucky" while Hack stared at Sabo in bewilderment as if he couldn't understand how he could believe such a ridiculous story

"Oy Yuki don't lie, you clearly came here to make us sick!"

Yuki smiled at the man that said this before he spoke "Oh, I heard you've got quite a nice necklace…"

Seeing Yuki's eyes turn into two gold coins, that guy instantly bowed and apologized for what he said and no one else dared to say anything after that…

Nodding at the level of terror he achieved thanks to his thief notoriety, Yuki was taken by surprise as Koala suddenly poked her head from inside the ship and said "Did you guys deal with that smell?"

"Ah, it's safe now" Spoke Hack while Sabo simply glared at her for betraying him and leaving him to fend for himself which she apologized playfully for it…

….

That day, they had a celebration for Yuki's joining, at least that's how Yuki saw it as for the rest of the crew it was more like they were mourning for their bad luck…

"So, Yuki, why did you decide to come with us? You should know that our path isn't an easy one and you will be considered an enemy of the world…" Asked Sabo suddenly while drinking sake with Yuki and a bunch of other crewmates and this question even caught the attention of Dragon…

"Well, you guys have quite the good training facilities so how can I say no?" Sabo had a wry smile on his face as if he found this answer in line with the personality he showed so far before he said to Yuki

"We are on our way to liberate a country under the rule of a corrupted king, are you sure you still want to stick with us?" Asked Sabo trying to make sure of something and Yuki simply shrugged and said "I will help you out then, consider it as me paying for the rent here"

Koala giggle slightly and said "How about you return what you stole from the rest of the crew, I think that would be better payment"

However, Yuki instantly disagreed and said "NO, those are mine now!"

'He doesn't even deny it… What a weird guy' Thought Sabo with a slight smile and Yuki suddenly asked him "By the way Sabo, can we spare later? I want to train my Haki…"

"Oh, sure" Said Sabo with a grin… This was after all one of the orders he received from Dragon, test the strength of this unknown person which they couldn't find any information about despite their large information network that spanned all across the world!

….

After the party ended, Sabo faced off against Yuki and said "are you sure you want me to use Haki as well?"

Yuki nodded calmly "Yes please, otherwise there will be no point"

"Fine then, be careful" Replied Sabo as Yuki watched his hand turn black and he sent a normal punch at Yuki

Time seemed to stop as Yuki's mind raced 'With my 200 strengths, I should be capable of lifting around 20 tons… Then there's the increase in my will making my Haki a bit too strong… Right now, the increase to damage and defense should be 450% This is quite scary, hopefully I don't kill him with one punch' thought Yuki full of confidence as he sent a punch as well.

Two black fists connected in the air, and they instantly created terrifying shockwaves from the impact that made the deck of the ship crack slightly, and Sabo couldn't help but widen his eyes!

'This, why does he want to train his Haki when it's already this strong?' wondered Sabo, but despite his shock, he was actually the one that won this exchange as he put more force into his punch and sent Yuki flying through the air…

"Sabo, don't fight on the ship" Spoke Dragon calmly as he stared at the cracks on the ship and the hole Yuki made from his crash…

Sabo rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed look on his face before he replied "Sorry…"

Meanwhile, Yuki slowly stood up from the rubble with a confused look on his face 'What's wrong? Is he really that much stronger than me? My Will attribute is comparable to having 450 will points thanks to my immortal stand enhancement... It seems like Sabo isn't really weak even at this point, his mastery of armament Haki can't be underestimated and his will and physical strength are also extremely strong…'

"Are you okay, Yuki-kun?" Asked Sabo with a smile on his face and Yuki simply smiled back awkwardly feeling as if his ego was the one that good punched but he hid it well and said "Let's wait until we get to an island or something so that we can fight without restrain…"

"I agree" Said Sabo with a nod so Yuki picked up a wooden sword and said "I'm going to train my swordsmanship instead, when will we get to this island?"

"Two days" replied Sabo so Yuki calmly nodded and left, and Sabo too left afterward and went to meet Dragon

"What do you think?" Asked Dragon calmly and Sabo couldn't help but look at his hand and replied "He's very strong, his use of Hak is very crude but I can say for sure that he can definitely carve a path for himself if he becomes a pirate and train his mastery a bit more, and if he joins us, he can become a great asset"

"You think so highly of him huh? I think so too as well, maybe even higher than you, but the problem is whether he can be trusted or not..;"

Sabo remained silent for a while as he also knew how weird Yuki's identity seemed as he appeared out of nowhere before he eventually said "I think he can be trusted"

Dragon nodded silently at Sabo before they started discussing their plans for the kingdom they were planning to free...

…

"The level of my mastery with the sword is rising quite rapidly now that I know the direction I should take with the help of all my abilities… These current levels all the way to 100 are mainly for the user to create their own fighting style and try to comprehend the basics of transforming the will into sharpness that can cut anything… Thankfully with my swordsman talent and abilities, this is a piece of cake, but what's actually helping me as much as them is my Mutsu Enmei Ryu mastery…"

Yuki couldn't help but find himself remembering how his mastery of this style allowed him to forge his swordsmanship style and make it close to perfect, and this was all because that style was created with the purpose of fighting armed people when you are unarmed, 'It's like they were considering their every part of the body as a weapon…'

This thought passed through Yuki's mind and he felt enlightened as he swung his sword much more vigorously while the pleasant sounds of the notifications informing him of his improving mastery pleasantly rang in his ears until a sudden notification sounded that was different from the rest and Yuki couldn't help but stop his training and stare at it in disbelief

[Congratulations host, you understood the essence of the Mutsu Enmei Ryu and unlocked the ability Free spirit]

'Hmm, what's this now?' Yuki was surprised as he checked the description of this new skill…

[Free spirit: The host isn't restrained by any particular fighting style, and he can learn them all and merge them seamlessly. +500% to host's learning speed]

'Thank god I decided to come to this world' was the only thought on Yuki's mind as he felt a burden disappearing from his mind and he got countless new ideas for his swordsmanship which he instantly started practicing…

…

As Yuki was training his swordsmanship happily while consulting any skillful swordsman he could find on the ship from time to time.

On the Grandline, Luffy and his crew had just recently left a special island called little garden where they met two giants and even fought with an agent from a special organization that was hiding in the shadows and trying to take over the kingdom of Alabasta...

They met the princess of this kingdom Vivi right after they entered the Grandline and after having adventured together for the past week, they decided to help her out in regaining her kingdom that was about to fall because of the revolution instigated in the dark by Crocodile, a warlord of the sea as well as the leader of the special organization that Luffy and his crew encountered many times... Baroque works!

However, as they were sailing from little garden, their navigator Nami suddenly fell ill from a weird illness, and them having no doctor spelled disaster for her as they were currently in the middle of the sea following an eternal log pose that pointed at Alabasta, but it would take them at least a weak to reach it, but will Nami survive until then? Her temperature was already 40 C° and was constantly rising slowly…

"What should we do? At this rate, we can only travel aimlessly in the vast sea until we find an island, and Nami-chan already lost all of her energy and can barely move" Spoke Sanji with a worried look on his face.

Zoro remained silent while hugging his white sword while Usopp steered the ship and replied to him "I wish there was a way to ask for help…"

Luffy who was silent suddenly jumped up and said "Usopp you are a genius, we should simply ask for help!"
