After the huge party nearly one million belli was out of our pockets and borodo was pissed, I too was carelessly spending my money as in my previous life I would not spend it for a year or two. But now I am free and I am spending it to enjoy, I like this life.
After that we left the dawn island, "So where is the next destination" borodo and ace asked, I smiled and said "Island of Sixis" I said.
"Aye aye captain" Borodo said as we went to Island of Sixis, as a fan of ASL I know that ace got his fruit from island of Sixis and is also the place where he met his first mate masked Deuce.
Only a fool would not want a devil fruit such as mera mera no mi, as such the group headed there.
After a week the group reached the islands of Sixis and our precious ship has crashed due to heavy winds and hitting rocks it was unusable now, it was a desert land. The temperature was so hot even my liquid body was feeling hot luckily I prepared some methanol which cooled me down.
"The task is to find a weird fruit, I heard a devil fruit is seen here so search it who ever finds it can eat it and another thing is to search anyone who could help us fix the ship or find another ship that's all" I said as we went to search the fruit.
Day one, there was no one here including animals.
Day two, my mouth was dry even though I am a liquid human.
Day three, I am going to die of hunger, and god knows when I had lost ace and borodo.
Day four I finally reached some coast and started fishing, while filtering some sea water with my ability to drink.
Day five I had somehow reached back to the location where we had crashed.
Day six, I saw ace carrying two people one was borodo and another I was not familiar with.
"Arya I found the strange fruit you told about and after eating it I also gained a power similar to yours I can turn into fire" ace said as he made a huge flame. Which I put down "Idiot it is already this hot and you are making it even hotter" I scolded, "Beside how did you both got lost" I asked which was ignored.
"Anyway except him I did not find any other person" ace said as he pointed towards a spiky blue haired man.
"Hello I am masked Deuce" Deuce said introduced himself while removing his mask, "I wanted to meet the person who made the pirate king son his crew member" he said and he was a little arrogant, I did not like it so I hit him.
"I don't like your attitude, can you help us fix the boat or not" I asked, it seems I hit him a little hard as he collapsed.
"Borodo due you have a plan on how to get out of here" I asked while throwing a bottle of water.
"As ace said there are no other people here so we can only fix it temporally and after reaching back we have to scrape it" borodo said.
"Is that so, then small teddy I am sorry we messed up you" I said a little emotionally since it was with me for a year.
"Arya I thought of having him join us" ace said as he tried to wake up the fainted deuce. "I sighed, ok don't bring anymore weird person to join anymore" I said 'masked deuce was the vice captain of aces, initially I only thought of having strong people on my ship except borodo but ok I can make one exception'.
I brought the ship on the land as borodo started to fix it.
"Arya lets fight to see who is stronger now" ace said as he flashed fire, this arrogant punk I like how he thinks.
As ace used the first technique he thought 'Fire fist', 'liquid dragon' I countered, and liquid which has a cooling agent like methanol is the natural counter for fire like abilities.
The match ended much faster you can think, and I won much easier as my ability was his counter, "Damn you arya how can I win when your ability counters mine" ace asked as he lay on his back breathing heavily.
"Actually there is some technique called as haki which works on any devil fruit users including logia. If one masters that technique then you and I are just normal persons to them, if you want to beat me then you have to master haki as well, of course we have to see who has better haki at that time by fighting, right borodo" I said laughing.
"You are saying that even without devil fruit I can kick your butts" borodo asked, "Yes" I replied.
Borodo laughed and said "then I had decided I will become a grandmaster in it and kick both your butts" both ace and I gave him a mean look when deuce work up like it was his dialogue time "Count me in, brother I am feed up with these two idiots" deuce said.
We looked at each other and all three of us laughed, deuce complained a little. Later I caught a big fish and we four celebrated the deuce joining us and for our fourth member.
Deuce was actually a medical student before even though his grades were low he was still a low grade doctor.
"So you are a doctor, then I got two… no three of the members I wanted, Hihihi" I said, "Three of the members you wanted, why is that" deuce asked as the other two listen.
"Well I wanted friends to travel around the world so I made a list of people I wanted a fighter, a sharp shooter, a navigator, a doctor, a cook, a musician and a shipwright say around 10 people I wanted to travel all around the world and become 'king of pirates'" I said as I felt this is what I wanted to do, to go on a adventure like luffy.
"Then I will be 'King of adventure'" ace said, "Then I will be super navigator" Borodo said, "Then I shall record all the adventures and make sure you are healthy to continue your adventure" Deuce said.
I felt extremely happy as I tried to sing bink's wine song with my not so pleasant voice, but soon all four were sing it. I regretted that I did not have a camera to capture this moment.
The next day we four fixed the ship which was at least sailable, we even made two small boats which can be propelled using mine and aces powers.
At least deuce was a little smart, as we were able leave the Island of Sixis.
-Mera mera no mi obtained,
-Got fourth member masked deuce.
Soon we found an island where we rested for a while.
"Ace I heard deuce mention that you are the son of pirate king, so how come you are so poor" I asked, 'I wanted to just act like I cared about his past'.
"Well my dad died before I was born, and my mother died after I was born you can say I am luckily to alive" ace said, "Is that so don't worry much I do not even know my parents. But I feel a little sad, because what makes us is the loved once that we live for, and for me presently it is you guys and people of the clockwork island, akisu and others" I said about my life in this world, while also remembering my days on earth and remembering my grandpa who took care of me after my parents passed away until he also passed away when I was in my final year of engineering.
"True I also have you guys, luffy, grandpa and the bandit group and foosha villagers" ace said while munching on meat, "well it is indeed true I like you guys but I don't care about you lots" borodo said as little embarrassed to join the sentimental moment.
"Well captain I started to like you now" deuce said "get lost I am straight" I said moving away from deuce.
"Idiot captain I am also straight and believe me I have interest in only girls and that too who have *********" he said, "Pervert" we all said at once.
.
Few days later we arrived at Clockwork Island
"Ha finally I am back" I said while looking at the same weird looking island, while ace and deuce were shocked.
I had purchase a camera and a print snail so I can have a collection of memory of our future adventure, and deuce took the charge of it.
"Welcome to my home, my friends" I said as I took them to my small house, "this is wonderful island" "This is weird island" both ace and deuce said at once.
"This island is called Clockwork Island, the people here are the one who built it" I said while explaining some history to them after a day of exploring I took them to centrifuge and aerotrim.
Borodo and I maintained a poker face as we made the two try them.
After few second both ace and deuce were on the floor as they have thrown up all they ate and drank. The fun was not until we made them clean up the whole machines after they work up.
The centrifuge and aerotrim become a competing ground for us four, and with ace fire power we had to spend little money for fuel.
We all finally came to a conclusion that until we are able to overcome the centrifuge we would not set sail, ace body was adopting much faster than us but I was not any less with a head start before them I was also steadily progressing.
By one month I was able to adapt to Aerotrim, and by the second month I was already adopt to mach 2 speed.
After four months I was able to handle the mach 5 (which is around 1.7 KM per second) for a complete hour.
The goal of this is not to make us feel faster but to experience speed, only a superhuman can able to handle mach 5 speeds astronauts are able to handle it because of life sustaining system. But here where a man is capable of travelling at light speed and where logic is not applied able to getting used to this speed is necessary it was my requirement to enter the grand line.
The other three we also doing fine, borodo and ace were already able to handle mach 3 and aerotrim while deuce is still struggling at mach 2 speed.
The process is not easy as one had to have a strong body, it was a slow process where first you have to be able not throw up at high speed. When your body can feel the speed and able to handle the speed you have to slowly move up the speed.
The results was obvious by looking at my muscular body, even without my devil fruit powers I was able to through a 100 kilo ball far away, this is the result I wanted.
Since the others were still practicing I tried to learn sword art, as I brought a katana and practise few stances so that when I have to defend without my devil fruit powers, I also tried to develop my ability and you just imagine what all I could do.
I wanted to raised the pressure and launch the liquid to form a liquid bullets, a water jet was capable of cutting anything with sufficient strength, since I had once witnessed a 60,000 Psi water jet with 0.25mm thickness was able to cut even an small 17 carat diamond but it took around 2-3 minutes still if I can recreate it then it means that I can practically cut anything, just imagining it was thrilling.
With my new idea I was on to my own training while the others had their own training.
