Chapter-2 : Training

My mind cleared as I regained my consciousness. the vey first thing I saw were trees, very small trees, only as big my forearms, I stood up as everything before me dwarfed, I was a giant now. My height was about 60 meters now.

Looking around for a minute I concluded that I was on a secluded island, devoid of any kind of animals and humans.

I wanted to give my new power a try, reaching the hill, which was just as tall as me, I punched out with full strength, as soon as my fist collided with it, a huge portion the hill went missing.

[This....]

This was my strength now, I had finally surpassed my human limits now.

I went back to the place where I awakened and saw a small chest, I click on it with my fingers as it opened and a three and a half foot katana along with a fruit came out.

I took the fruit and put it in my mouth and devoured it, thank god I didn't have to taste the infamous bad taste of devil fruits. As soon as I gulped it down, I felt some things change inside me as information about the fruit appeared in my head.

Size - size fruit, it gives me the ability to change the size of my body, and anything I touch. The body size is unaffected by sea water and sea stone.

I willed to change my size to human again as I started to shrunk down, After 30 seconds I was now human sized.

My height returned to being 190 cm again, I took the katana in my hand as I inspected it. This was a katana made of pure sea mineral.

Sea stones were rare and expensive. They were especially hard and had power to nullify devil fruits. In fact they were so strong that it was very difficult for anyone below S rank (peak) to break them. And that was sea stone that had very less amounts of sea mineral in it. but on the other hand, this was a sword made 100% of sea mineral, and was nigh indestructible.

The blade was slightly curved and was extremely sharp. giving it a few swings, he knew that this katana was highly compatible with him.

Ben (short for Benjamin, I will call him Ben from now) kept the sword aside as he focused on mastering his strength first.

He got up and started warming up, with his current endurance, he could run at his top speed for hours and still wouldn't feel tired.

So to train, he got in his giant form and started doing heavy exercises. Each exercise developed a certain group of muscles.

This was his routine now, he would train his body in the morning, practice with his sword in afternoon, practice martial arts in evening and meditate in the night.

The martial arts he practiced was the one that made him the mercenary king, the Neo Martial arts. It was a combination of all known martial arts on earth. Each and every strike was deadly and had full strength and weight of the body.

For practicing the neo Martial arts, one needed to have a muscular physique with great flexibility, not the swimmers physique, it is only good for attracting ladies. Swimmers physique was overrated because of how cool it looked but in actuality, it packed less power.

He also started creating and training varients of the neo Martial arts which were for different sizes of his body.

His sword training was also coming great, the sword style he practiced had simple but effective strikes.

Continuing this routine for a week, Ben finally adapted to his new body and power. He also found that he can control his own weight, but not to an excessive degree, only from 100 kg to 800 tons, which was his limit as it was his maximum weight. His strikes had become so powerful that he could literally blow away mountains by punching air like saitama (Anime logic)

He also developed a sort of crude Geppo, he could step on air pretty fine but he knew that this technique was not at its fullest potential as it sucked up a lot of stamina but to him it wasn't a problem, being from race of giants with human size gave pretty much endless stamina.

<< POV - Ben >>

After a week of training, I decided to leave this forsaken place. strapping the sword to my side, I jumped high into the air and followed the nearby newspaper seagulls or commonly known news coo back to the nearest human settlement with my crude geppo.
