Chapter 3. Three Year Time Skip

Has it seriously been this long? Reflecting back, it really didn't feel like so. Three years have passed since Kai woke up in the One Piece World. It was quite literally a blessing from God. Due to this, Kai had to try his hardest in this world to do what he wanted. Training himself was the first step, second step, the third step, and so on. Training is the foothold and something he should always do, and so he did it without any complaints.

A ping immediately disrupted Kai's meditation, and when he opened his eyes he saw a blue-like panel in front of him. The System. Kai would be honest, he was grateful for this System, it helped him during his practice to perfect his form, and would even give tips on his newly created Martial Arts style. You will see more on that later.

[Your training is up. You have grown much better than previously thought to be, and surpassed the strength you were predicted to be at a long time ago. Due to this, you are much stronger than expected and should be ready to fight anyone in the East Blue.]

'Hell yeah!' Kai thought with a grin. It was finally time to get his fruit and sail the seas! He would gain the adventure he always sought for. He would never go down without a fight!

"System, show me my Status, I haven't checked in a while."

"Now show me my skills," Kai said while walking to a river.

Nodding to himself in satisfaction, he looks at his reflection in the river. It was as he expected, he grew into a fine young man, looking a little above his age group, especially with his height at 7'2. (Think of Cover Image except for little immature features) It would only be a matter of time until people faint seeing him. He thinks.

The Lotus Fist technique he created was his own masterpiece. Taking inspiration from Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, it was created to have perfect balance and harmony. Like Yin-Yang, except not it entirely. Focusing on having a perfect defense/offense style with great speed, it is great for hand-to-hand combat and taking opponents by surprise.

Drinking a little bit of water, then sitting back down, he remembered. There was one thing he absolutely needed to do. Of dire importance for him to set sail on the seas to go find Xebec. He ran in the bushes and took a dump. What, you thought it was something serious?

Feeling a lot better, he sat back down at his camp. Scanning his surroundings, he saw many things he accumulated across the 3 years. There was a boat that he made for himself, which in reality was a little raft, spare food, and a make-shift tent. Sighing, it was finally time.

"System, how do I use the 'Rainbow Devil Fruit Token?' Do I just touch it or..?"

[You can use it by asking me, where I will coin it in, and it will start your roll for a devil fruit like one of the casino games from your previous world.]

"Alright, then please do use the 'Rainbow Devil Fruit Token.'" Kai said with a bit of an amused tone and smirk.

Congratulations, you have obtained 1x Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit: Squid Squid Fruit, Model Kraken. No refunds.]

Looking at the fruit in front of him with slightly wide eyes, he is confused. A Kraken fruit? Wasn't there already one of those? Isn't that a little... underwhelming for all this wait and practice? Sighing, he knew it was whatever. Beggars can't be choosers. And it clearly states no refunds. Oh shit, did he just get scammed? Not really caring much, he ate the fruit and the first thought was the shitty taste. It had the raw taste of calamari, but it couldn't be called that. That would be huge disrespect towards the calamari he ate.

[System recommends you ask what you can do with this fruit.]

"Go ahead, tell me what I can do with this devil fruit then."

[Devil Fruit: Squid Squid Fruit, Model Kraken.

Unlike the one you saw in the One Piece Manga, this one is completely unique, and undiscovered. Giving you the power of the fabled Kraken of the legends, you have complete immunity to the water, and can even swim with it. You will be a 29' long powerhouse if you master and learn to control this fruit. Can reach the ocean bottom, but will be risky. Fruit gives minor control over tsunamis (huge waves of seawater) and thunderstorms.

Now giving Host absolute knowledge over fruit, so you have an even better start.]

Instantly, a flush of knowledge rushed to Kai's brain. It was as the System said, he got absolute knowledge over his fruit, and even gained insight on a few techniques he can create. Looking around his body he felt tentacles spread out from his body. An odd feeling, but will help a lot. Concentrating above him, he could feel the rain dropping, and lightning striking. Wow.

Running to the nearest ocean in his human form, he immediately jumped into the cold water. Rather than sinking, he was just floating there. He actually had immunity to water. And he can control tsunamis too? The versatility of this fruit was endless, and the potential even greater! Willing himself into a Kraken, he immediately felt himself grow, and the waters become too shallow.

Swimming to a deeper depth, he was amazed. The water was great against his skin! It was hard to control all of his tentacles, but he got used to it. He was constantly throwing around tsunamis and willing lightning to strike specific things. It felt like this would be the best way to practice control.

Getting back to the beach, he made the storm go away. The tsunamis stopped flowing as well. He immediately ran to his camp and decided to sleep this night and go to an actually populated island. Maybe even Water 7? Yeah, if the stars shone upon him, he might even find Xebec searching for a log pose or something. That would be a real streak of luck.

Falling asleep, he had many things to anticipate for the travels that await him.
