In One Piece with Creation Fruit

The next day as the first rays of sun fell, James was already awake he started his day by doing various kind of exercises to strengthen the foundation of his body so that in future he can harness the power of marine six styles and Haki.

He knew that it was important to build a strong foundation because if you want to build a tall building your foundation must be absolutely solid, the stronger the foundation is the better, it will also ensure better that his future potential will be higher.

With this in mind he began a set of routine exercises at first, he was struggling because his mind was giving commands flawlessly, but this body wasn't strong enough, soon he began breathing heavily and collapsed, after taking a good amount of rest he began to move towards the forest to get some food.

After collecting some fruits and hunting some small animals he began devouring them, after having his full and taking some rest, he began to move around in order to find a stream of clean and fresh water after searching for quite a bit he finally arrived at a clearing where he saw a waterfall and a small stream of water, he slowly walked towards the stream and sat at the edge of the stream, when he sat down to scoop a handful of water he finally saw his new appearance for the first time.

In the stream he saw the reflection of a young man around the age of 16 he had fair skin and a handsome face; he had short silver hair and deep blue eyes with black windmill shape pattern which looked somewhat like Itachi's mangekyou sharingan and it also had a ring connecting them at the middle section of the pattern, maybe because his eyes have special ability. He had to acknowledge that his looks in this new life were quite good.

After taking a good look at his new appearance he went to a tree near the bank of the stream and sat cross legged under its shade, and started recalling his memories of plastic water bottle, soon his vision zoomed and, in his vision, appeared an intricate molecular structure of polymer atoms, after taking some time to analyze the molecular structure he began to focus the energy at the palm of his hand and slowly a fine piece of plastic appeared at his palm of his hand, it was a small square of 1cm of length and breath.

He realized that developing devil Fruit was not as simple as he thought, so he decided to include daily devil fruit practice to increase his proficiency.

After thinking about his future aspects, he thought he should develop his close combat skills and dagger skills from his past life although he had a sword but as an assassin, he preferred dagger because it can help him use his agility and flexibility to the fullest.

He also considered to improve his marksmanship, although he was already proficient in using snipers and pistols but considering his unique devil fruit he thought if he can develop those fast refiles like AK47 or maybe even develop an ironman suit which was is every man dream. Truly hi-tech mechas are all men's romance.

With that in mind he took out his marine rifle and went a bit deeper than usual to find an agile target which would be idle for his practice, after some time of searching through the forest he finally spotted a feline animal which looked like a tiger but was much more agile and its size was also larger, he truly didn't understand how in this world even creature with big physique can perform such agile maneuvers.

After spotting the creature he immediately took out his standard marine rifle and shot a bullet the feline creature but what he did not expect that it easily dodged the bullet in one swift maneuver, after missing the shot he directly shot his second bullet, but it once again swiftly dodged the bullet in one fluid motion.

After wasting two bullets he once again realized he wasn't in the same world here even animal have a keen sense of their surroundings and have far greater physical aspects compared to normal humans and animals he was used to.

He also realized that his world was far more dangerous than his previous world, this world has its own set of laws which allows its inhabitants to grow far stronger without any fixed upper limit, here people are only limited to their desire and will to grow stronger.

He also noticed that his body in this world requires more energy, and it can easily digest a lot of food, he realized that he could use this to his advantage to quickly improve his physical condition.

After making up his mind he began moving through the forest and after two hours of lurking around he was finally able to defeat the feline creature, by just relying on his marksmanship alone and he tried his best to use the minimum bullets to catch the prey, in the end he required 5 bullets to take down the animal.

 After returning from his hund he began to grill the meat, and to his surprise he was able to all of the meat, immediately after eating he began to perform a set exercise to improve his physical condition, he did a different types of strength exercise like push-ups, crunches, sprints, pull-ups etc. For endurance training he ran barefoot on the beach.

He continued to exercise till all his energy was exhausted by the end of his workout he was so exhausted that he wasn't even able to lift a single finger, after getting enough rest he sat cross legged and began to practice his devil fruit abilities, when he got tired of using his devil fruit, he will start practicing his marksmanship.

He used his sword to carve out two heavy and sturdy wooden daggers. He began to perform these specific types of training in rotation.

Thus began a long and argus process of training, eating, resting and training again he would train his body until he couldn't even move muscle. It felt like hell every day but he to survive in this hell like world he must keep going no matter how hard it is he must keep pushing.

Every day he said to himself that in this world where strength prevails above everything else, if he wants to have full control over life, he must get stronger even if he has to crawl through the depths of hell.

Days passed by and in the blink of an eye six months have passed since James arrived in this world. He is now at height of six feet and eight inches, his body is now more developed under his tight black T- shirt there could be seen a set of perfect eight pack abs, his muscles were like they have been carved by a master craftsman. (A/N: his current cloths look like toji but his figure was tall and lean he had muscles, but he was not bulky).

In this six month his body was only one of the many improvements he had, his marksmanship has improved he can now shoot agile creatures from a thousand meters in just one shot, using his devil fruit he can create things like plastic bottles, aluminum cans, wooden barrels etc. He was able to adapt himself in using twin daggers, He also realized that his devil fruit provided him a soul space where he can store the fat of his food which can later be used as energy source for his creations.

Watching his improvements over these six months he couldn't help but nod to himself, so he decides that today he will have a feast for his accomplishments, as he began moving inside the inner are he was able to hunt quite a few monsters, as the sun was setting, he decided to return for today.

While James was eating, he decided to focus on developing his devil fruit for the next month, he wants to be able to make a replica for his marine rifle. He also thinks that with enough practice he can use his treasury of Babylon to reload his marine rifle at least until he is able to make a standard pistol from his previous life.
