NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Separate Paths
Short Land Island Port
"Are you sure about going alone?" Smoker asked. Not so long ago after arriving on the island Jason has decided that he would be going alone
"Yes sir, even though it may sound rude but I don't think our Marine soldiers would be able to survive well on the Grand Line. I believe they would be lot more safer with Captain Smoker." Jason calmly replied proving how much he wished to move alone
"I understand but are you certain you won't take at least few soldiers?" Smoker still asked worried that Jason might die too early out on the seas
"I'm sure Captain" Jason firmly replied as Smoker sighed
"Alright seems like I can't change your mind. So the only thing I could do is wish you luck" Smoker Spoke as he got back on the warship with the marine soldiers following behind him
Jason watched as the warship left the port and slowly started to disappear from his sight. "Finally" Jason sighed as he spoke as he looked at his status

"Obtaining the Tailed Beast cloak, totally skyrocketed my strength." Jason spoke excited. "And combining that with Lariat. I'm confident I could take down pirates from the Grand Line easily. But what is Partial Transformation?"
[Partial Transformation: Special ability of Jinchurikis to transform a part of their body to that of a tailed beast. (Ex: Killer Bee Tentacle, Fuu Insect Wings, Gaara Shukaku's Tail and Arm)]
"I see, maybe I should try summoning Gyuki's horn instead of tentacles like Killer Bee" Jason spoke to himself thrilled.
[Quest: Enter the Grand Line. Complete
Reward: 100GP]
[GP: 630->730]
Jason after getting his emotions controlled decided to go leave the place himself. 'Only people I would probably worry for now is Ace and Blackbeard.' Jason thought as he bit his thumb with blood dripping out. "Summoning Jutsu" Jason slamming his hand to the floor summoned Garuda.
Garuda being summoned let out a powerful screech that caused all nearby birds to fly away in fear. Garuda lowered his body as Jason got on as he brought out a map. "Let's see Luffy and his crew should've gotten Vivi on their ship, so the next destination should be Little Garden or I messed up everything wrong and they're already in Drum Island." Garuda started flapping his wings and started flying up. "But who cares? This world is about traveling and adventure, I could just say I was searching for Luffy" Garuda started flapping it's wings and started flying above the ground
Jason from above saw the beautiful blue sea and smiled "This is awesome!" Jason exclaimed before looking down at the Log Pose on his wrist that pointed towards East. "Garuda head East!". Garuda following Jason's command started flying towards East
Jason flied for 3 days without seeing an island before finally spotting one. "Land their Garuda". Garuda descended on to the island. When Jason landed on the Island he saw nothing but the vast green forest. "Is this Island uninhabited?" Jason asked to himself as he started walking towards to the forest on the island after unsummoning Garuda.
The Forest was vast and overgrown sign that people have not been on the island. "Huh? What's this?" Jason knelt down to the floor and picked up a strange looking stone. "A rock? No, it looks more like a brick?" Jason spoke to himself as he got a closer look of the rock, he then looked around to see more of these strange looking rocks.
Jason sensing something strange started running towards the direction. When he stopped infront of him was a strange looking statue with a head of a bull, 3 pair of arms, three eyes, and two horn on the side of it's head with one horn destroyed. "Did people live here?" Jason stared at the eerie statue as he wondered what could have happened on the island. "But then what was that strange feeling just now it couldn't have been the statue" Jason looked up to the sky to clear his mind but then saw something.
Jason saw a silhouette of a rectangular object, and grabbed the object using the tentacle from his Partial Transformation. When Jason brought down the rectangular object it was revealed to be a strange chest. "A chest? What was it doing on top of that tree?" Jason looked at the chest warily and tried opening it. "Locked, meh who cares?" Jason spoke as punched a hole through the chest.
Jason reached inside through the hole and brought out and object as his eye widened. In his hand was a strange looking fruit. "A devil fruit?" Jason spoke out surprised
[Hidden Quest: Find a Devil Fruit. Complete
Reward: Depending...]
"Depending? Will the reward vary by what devil fruit I found?" Jason asked
[Yes, the reward will change by the rarity and strength of the fruit]
[Reward has been decided! The host has found Ancient Zoan: Dragon-Dragon fruit: Velociraptor]
[Warning! The host will be giving up on the devil fruit to accept the reward proceed? Y/N]
'Do I really need a devil fruit? Nah I already have the system no need to make things more complicated.' Jason thought to himself as he clicked on Y
[Hidden Quest: Find a Devil Fruit. Complete
Reward: 20% Template Completion or 3000GP]
Jason stared at the screen for a second. "Huh!?" Jason looked at the reward in shock. "A choice? And what is this ridiculously generous Reward!"
'What should I choose? 3000GP can get me a lot of new items or skills, but the Template Completion could possibly let me go full tailed beast mode' Jason was stuck between the choice of efficiency or ultimate power. 'Wait' Jason paused his thought realizing something. 'The Gold Chest... Normally I wouldn't try to spend my GP on such high priced roll, but with 3000GP one time won't hurt right? Besides I need to know what I could get from the Gold Chest'
Jason finally organizing his thought clicked on the 3000GP
[GP:730->3730]
Jason then immediately went to the Gacha. 'System role one Gold Chest'
[GP: 3730->2730]
[Rolling...]
[Sky Dragon Slayer Lacrima (Gold) Fairy Tail]
Jason seeing this quickly brought out the item. In his arm was a small, sky blue crystal, that somehow gave a calming feeling. 'Sky Dragon Slayer? In my opinion one of the best type of Dragon Slayer Magic.' Jason thought happy about what he obtained but then stopped. 'Wait wouldn't I have to implant this thing inside my body to use it?' Jason imagined himself cutting his stomach and putting the Lacrima inside his body and shuddered
[The host has nothing to fear. When the host decides to use any object or item from the Gacha that shall cause damage or leave a scar, the system can have the object absorbed to the hosts body by time to avoid any injuries.]
Jason was surprised by the generosity of the system asked. "System how long will it take for you to implant the Lacrima to me?"
[Calculating...]
[Ding! It shall take about 3 days for the Lacrima to be absorbed without harming the host]
'3 Days huh? System begin the process' Jason commanded
[Time: 2Days 23Hours 59Minute 57Second]
"Good-" Jason stopped as he faintly heard the sound of laughter. Jason curious walked towards the direction of the sound and saw a pirate ship. The pirate ship was huge, with a ship head resembling a dragon, with a jolly roger of a scarred skull with two swords clashing behind it. 'Red Force?' Jason panicked as he recognized the boat owned by non other then Shanks one of the current four emperor. As Jason started to slowly back away he suddenly felt the sensation of cold steel near his neck.
"Now where are you going young marine?" a voice spoke behind Jason. He looked around to see a man with red hair and an distinctive aura that clear showed off his power.
"If I'm correct you're Red Hair Shanks?" Jason acted tough not wanting to show any weakness.
[Shanks 'Akagami': ????GP]
'Just as I expected I'm still not strong enough to see the GP amount' Jason thought he still had much more room for growth.
"Indeed that is me but I would rather ask what are you doing spying on my ship?" Shanks glared at Jason
"I'm not here to cause trouble I just came across your ship while on a mission" Jason replied 'As I thought even though he may seem like a cool and nice guy in the show. But he's still a pirate and won't show mercy to enemies.'
"Is that so? I can tell you aren't lying but I can't just let you go" Shanks spoke as he removed his sword from Jason's neck
"What do you want?" Jason asked warily taking few steps back
"You see, I would like to try fighting you." Shanks spoke as his glare suddenly disappeared. Instead his eye was now filled with excitement and curiosity. "I can tell you aren't that strong but there is something about you." Shanks spoke
Jason's eyes twitched slightly agitated by the blunt word of being called weak, but couldn't do anything against Shanks. "I'm fine with this but are you sure?"
"Certain" Shanks spoke confidently "To enjoy this fight a bit more I'll limit my strength"
Jason looked around the area for any signs of the rest of the Red Hair Pirates. When Jason saw nobody else besides Shanks and himself brought out his seven chakra blade. "Alright I'm ready whenever you are."
The two forces stared at each other as the waves crashed
"Let's begin" Shanks spoke smiling
