Chapter 2. Getting a bearing.
Zac's eyes widened in surprise. Like holy shit! A god just granted him a wish? What are the chances? But not now, he needs to get a better understanding right now.
"System, can I ask a few questions?"
[Yes, that is my career and lifelong goal. To assist you in all your needs.]
"That is good to know for the future. Hmmm. Well then, I will ask a series of questions and you will answer. First, what era is this?"
[It has been 2 months since the Rocks pirates have been founded and the current year is 1472.]
"Hmm. Good to know, I will definitely join them. The adventures they had were definitely crazy! How old am I in this world?"
[13 in 3 months. It is currently September.]
"Next, what are your functions?"
[Status, Shop, Skills.]
"Explain."
[Status shows your strength, name, health, and devil fruit. You can use it on other people, but if they far outclass you then it will not show. The shop is self-explainable, but you can buy anything in the shop, including devil fruits, techniques, haki help, and even martial arts forms. No otherworldly strengths though. The skill page is your current skills and their mastery.]
"OK then. Status!"
----------------------------------------
[Unnamed (Possesses will of the D)]
[Strength: Tier 5 East Blue Pirate(T5->1)]
[Age: 12]
[Body Health: Healthy]
[Devil Fruit: None]
----------------------------------------
"Unnamed? It seems I have to come up with my own name due to this being a different world. Strange. Anyways, show me the shop."
---------------------------------------------
[Martial Arts] [Devil Fruit] [Haki] [Skills]
---------------------------------------------
Closing out of the tab, Zac now has a better understanding of the system. Essentially, it can only guide and help Zac on his journey to becoming whatever he wants to become. What a great system. But first...
"System, what sort of name would you recommend to me? And also, is there a gift or beginner pack of some sorts?"
[I do not know about your name issue. Go with something that describes you best. And in fact, you do have a beginner pack. It will spawn in front of you shortly.]
Right after the System said that a package appeared right in front of Zac. Looking at it, it said "GIFT PACKAGE FOR (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN) ZAC. INCLUDES x10,000 POINTS | 1 DEVIL FRUIT | BODY TRAINING GUIDE | 3 BASIC HAKI PRINCIPLES GUIDE."
Almost instantaneously tearing the package open, Zac got a message entailing
[Gained: x10,000 POINTS | RAINBOW GRADE DEVIL FRUIT TOKEN | BODY TRAINING GUIDE | 3 BASIC HAKI PRINCIPLES GUIDE]
Zac was in awe but had wasn't in his stupor for long. He had to think of a name as well, but not fast. He had a lot of time. Curious about what the guide is needed for, Zac asked
"What the hell is the body training guide for?"
[The guide is to train your body for the strain that the devil fruit will give you. God purposefully made it a rainbow tier devil fruit, which means it is one of the strongest you can find. In order to be balanced and strong, you are recommended to keep your body strong, so you won't overly rely on your devil fruit. You will also need a strong body for the haki.]
A nice explanation. It told Zac everything he needed. In fact, it was more than he needed. The strongest tier of devil fruits? That is super good! A guide on the basic principles of haki? Incredible! And Zac agreed, overly relying on one thing makes you lose balance, which is exploitable.
Anyways, a name. Taking the system's advice, he would go off of a word that truly describes him. Thinking hard, he finally understood. The word that personified him was water. Adapting and going with the flow. But what is a name that might associate with water?
All of a sudden, a lightbulb flashed above Zac's head. A perfect name!
"Kai! What about that name System?" 'Kai,' asked?
[A great name. Truly befitting of this world and yourself]
Kai had to agree with the system. He truly does amaze himself sometimes with his thinking. Kai means "Sea" in Hawaiian. This name associates itself with the word "Water," as well as also meaning "Forgiveness" in Japanese, which is something the people he fights would be begging for, and "Warrior" in Kaimbe. A perfect name for this world.
'What what about the last name?' Kai thought to himself. 'Whatever, do that later.'
Now that the whole system and name ordeal is over, Kai made an executive decision to find out where he was. He was feeling a little hungry and thirsty now.
'Food or water, where to first. Oh, what am I kidding, to water!' Kai thought while going to where he heard the water stream.
(Time Skip)
Once Kai found a river, he thought it a great place to set up camp. There was a clearing beside the river and a good abundance of food due to the water attracting the animals. On the way, Kai managed to capture a few rabbits that were off guard by sneaking up and hitting them with a pointed rock.
Looking at his reflection through the water, Kai was shocked. He was only 12, but god damn he was kind of sexy. He definitely will be a snack at an older age.
"System, please show me the workout from the guide."
[Training Workout:
0/100 Pushups
0/100 Situps
0/100 Squats
0.122/10 k.m
Workout Gets Harder Every Day]
"Ah, the fabled workout. Seems quite effective too, but I wonder how long I have to do it for? System?"
[System recommends doing this for 3 years. The system will tell you when you are ready to go, so do not worry. Start the workout now.]
And with that began Kai's 3 year training arc of strengthening his body, and learning haki. What a great rate so far.

Next chapter will be a timeskip 3 years into the future, and from there he will set sail on a boat he created. That's all the spoilers you get. Tips are helpful as always, give constructive criticism and give me the hard word. I will do my best to see what I can do better. Thanks.
