Chương 4: 2 Years
Over the next few days Orion sorted through the information he had been given and what he already knew from watching One Piece in his former life.
[So, at the moment It's about 3 years before the death of Roger and the start of the "Great Age of Pirates". Unfortunately, I won't be able to set sail then, but it still won't be too late when I eventually do. Unless something happens to throw my plans off, I'll aim to set sail at 15.
Before then I need to focus on training so when I do finally set sail, I have the strength to protect myself. The old man's disciple will be training me when I turn 5 but between now and then I can still do low level training like practicing with the wind devil fruit and yoga to keep my muscles flexible and supple.
But first thing's first:
Gift; Heavenly Demon Sacred Art.
Target; myself.]
As he said that to himself a flood of information entered his head knocking him unconscious.
When he finally woke up he sorted through the information in his head.
[So that's how it is. This technique has a total of 8 Realms and each realm has a total of three sub-realms:
SSS+, SSS, SSS- (Strength ranging between the Admiral's and the Yonko)
S+, S, S- (Strength ranging between an average Vice-Admiral and a Yonko executive)
A+, A, A- (Strength of the pre time-skip Supernova)
B+, B, B- (Strength of an Elite Marine/Pirate)
C+, C, C- (Strength of the of an average Marine/Pirate in the grand line)
D+, D, D- (Strength of an ordinary Marine/Pirate)
E+, E, E- (Strength of a fully-grown adult)
F+, F, F- (Strength of an ordinary child)
Right now, my strength is only at the F- Realm but I haven't even started practicing yet. Thankfully it says that I can begin at any age. To begin I have to locate my dantian focusing on my inner body.]
After 30 minutes of meditation he was able to see his inner body. Above his navel was a translucent orb.
[This must be my dantian. According to the Heavenly Demon Art to practice I have to use my dantian to suck the energy from the atmosphere around me inside me and absorb it into my dantian. As it enters my body it automatically tempers my body.
It says that I don't need to focus on tempering every singe part of my body separately as it tempers my body automatically. I guess that's one of the bonuses of using a Divine rank method.]
He started to rotate his dantian as per the instructions of the Heavenly Demon Art. As it spun it begun to transform in to a vortex devouring the energy around him.
As the energy entered his body he felt as if thousands of ants were nibbling away at his skin. It was truly painful, but he clenched his teeth and forced himself to focus on the task at hand.
He carried on for over an hour until he heard someone enter the room. He immediately stopped and opened his eyes to see who it was.
It was a kid about 3 years old. He had rosy pink skin, black hair that reached his shoulders and big dark brown eyes. He was topless and wearing grey shorts and black sandals.
As Orion was looking at him, the mysterious boy was looking at him.
"Hi Orion, I am Roman. Uncle Marcus said you're my little brother now, so as your big brother you just have to tell me if anyone bullies you and I'll beat them up for you!"
As he said that he started waving his little fist in an attempt to look threatening but just made him look adorable instead. Orion could only smile at him.
"Dad's gave me my own devil fruit recently and now he's training me on how to use it properly. Do you wanna see?"
Lucas wanted to say yes but could only smile and make baby noises but somehow Roman understood what he was trying to say. Well that or he just wanted to show off his skills.
Roman took a few steps back and transformed.
Lucas was shocked at what he saw.
Roman was stood on all fours reaching about 5" high and about 6" long not including his 2" tail. His whole body was covered in golden scales, he had two wings that stretched out a meter each, two not yet fully formed horns protruding from his head and his eyes had gone from pitch black to bright gold matching his scales.
[Golden Dragon… He ate the Dragon fruit. I didn't even see it in the original story, I only saw Marco transform into a phoenix. Haha we both got top class devil fruits.]
Orion could barely contain his excitement and let out an immature laugh.
Seeing his happy face excited He transformed back into his human form and said.
"See I told you I'm strong, so I'll protect you from now on because that's what big brothers are supposed to do!"
Even though it sounded immature coming from a 3-year-old Orion could hear the sincerity in his voice. That sincerity warmed Orion's heart.
"My dad's training me so I can control the transformation perfectly. He wants me to be able to do a semi transformation where I'm able to keep my human shape but cover myself in dragon scales, if I do that I'll be able to have the strength of a dragon but the flexibility of a human.
It's really hard though. I can only do one fist so far and I can't even hold it for long, but my dad says I'm talented, so I should be able to do it by the time I'm 5 if I train hard."
"Roman, it's time to go."
"Ok dad, I'm coming. Take care Orion, I'll see you soon."
[I quite like that kid haha. In the future if he wants to set sail with me I'll give him one of the gifts.]
After deciding, Orion went back to his training. He would only stop when there were others around, to practice yoga or to sleep.
2 years later...
On top of o cliff there was a young boysitting lazily on a rock admiring the view of the waves crashing against the base of the cliff, whilst enjoying the feelings of the wind caressing his body.
The boy looked about 5 years old, he had clear mixed-race skin that most women could only dream about, long wavy black hair that came down to the bottom of his neck and glistening black eyes that any woman would get lost in, they almost appeared as if they held the wonders of the universe. Sat above his profound eyes were his sword like eye brows that just added to the boys elegance.
He was dressed in a pair of plain black plimsolls, blue shorts and a red vest. Despite his clothing being so ordinary, he still radiated an aura that had an undeniable charm.
That boy was Portgas D. Orion!
[It's been 2 years since I've arrived in this world. I broke through to F+ Rank 6 months ago and now training has been pretty slow. At this pace it'll take another year and a half to break through to E- Rank. At this rate I stand no chance of breaking through to the C- Rank by my 15th birthday. There must be a way to speed things along.]
It took him 6 months to go from F- to F Rank and another year to go from F to F+ Rank.
As he was outside in the garden lost in thought he saw a giant pirate ship that was sailing towards the island they were living on.
[That ship… It's them…]
The ship looked pretty ordinary but what caught his eye was the flag. It was a skull and crossbones and the skull had a thick long and curly moustache.
[It's the Roger Pirates!]
