Endless Adventure - Chapter 97

Training area inside the castle:

I was standing and looking at the person who was before me. He was a handsome ȧduŀt with long and blond hair. He wore fancy clothes that made him look like some kind of prince. He looked skinny if you just look from a distance and he didn’t look that strong. He had only a rapier around his waist for protection. If you were to walk like this on the streets you would be the prime target for kidnapping. In short he looked like prince that never in his life dirtied his hands.

He may look weak but in actuality he’s one of the strongest people in the Kingdom, Portgas D. Krista. From the anime I knew of only two people from the Portgas family. They were Portgas D. Rouge and Portgas D. Ace. I looked at Krista and prayed for his well being because all the Portgas family members introduced died. And that’s where my information ends. Portgas family except for two members I know nothing about it.

Krista looked at me and said, “Your Highness, Prince this servant of yours would start to teach you today!”

After I turned three I have gained few privileges. I could now leave the castle by myself and my father himself picked me a teacher. I wanted to travel around the Capital but before that I was dragged here.

I looked at him and asked, “What would you teach me?”

Krista smiled and said, “Your Highness in the mornings I would teach you about the geography. After that we would have practical classes where I teach you fighting techniques and after lunch we would have a sparring session.”

I nodded and sat down on a chair next to me. Krista disappeared and reappeared in front of me with a small board on his hands. He adjusted the board and after that he started to draw something. At first I was following him but after few minutes I was struck by a lightning.

I couldn’t follow what he was saying because the map he drew was missing an important part of the whole One Piece world. That being a Red line.

The Red Line is the One Piece world’s only continent that stretches across the entire world, from North to South, along the equivalent of Earth’s Prime Meridian. The Red Line is like a group of islands connected together. The Red Line that crosses the Grand Line has its own Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall “islands”.

The geography class ended quickly and I had the basic idea about the islands around the capital. I also learned that there was no Calm Belt and no Grand Line. Because Red Line and Calm Belt doesn’t exist Grand Line too wouldn’t. All the seas were connected during this time period.

After learning about it I had the basic idea how the Red Line was built. Most likely Red Line was built during the fight against Void Kingdom. I’m not sure who built it as both sides could do so. Void Kingdom might’ve built the Red Line for protection or it could be the work of the World Government, an attempt to trap the Kingdom. I’m not sure which side built it but I know that for next 900 years the Red Line would stay strong.

The next class was skill training. Krista disappeared and took all the equipment with him. After few seconds he returned and said, “First let’s see your physical strength. The skills I will be teaching you are taxing for human body and to master them you have to have good physical body. Your Highness you just have to punch me with all of your might!” He said relaxingly not taking me serious.

I really hated how he looked at me like to a child. Even thought I was three years old I was still in my arc-human form. I had the body as strong as ȧduŀt Fish-Man. I took a deep breath and jumped towards Krista. I sent a punch towards his stomach. He was surprised by the amount of force in a punch but soon he nodded and said, “You have a lot of power in your body Your Highness. As expected from the prince. I’m not good at ȧssessing power levels but I think you’re as strong as ȧduŀt Fish-Man!”

Not good my ȧss! You’re the best at it! From just a punch you already knew how strong I was. My punch was like an ants bite to you and normal people couldn’t differentiate between different levels of ants pain of bite. To them all the ants bites are harmless.

But I really hate this weakness of my arc-human form. I have no limits just like my Chimera Ant form but I have to wait to get stronger. I get stronger the more I age meaning I’m not that stronger when I’m a child.

Krista smiled and said, “Your Highness the first skill I would be teaching you will be Geppo! One of the 8 Rokushiki techniques! All the Rokushiki techniques were developed by the First Void King when he was a mercenary! You might’ve already seen it when your father traveled!”

So the Rokushiki techniques were developed by the Void Kingdom? This is interesting!
