Cheating Life in One Piece

Time Skip (3 years later : 13 years before Monkey D. Luffy starts his journey )

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Three wind blasts can be heard in the unknown island, scaring the beasts on it. A young man can be seen near the center of island, punching the air with his fists. A red-striped tiger is nearby, watching the human doing his training.

*Ding*

[The tutorial is over, puny little human.]

'F**k you too', he retorts. "Phew... Finally done!"

Suddenly, 'Sashgee' strikes at him with her big paw.

*Woosh* He dodges, and attacks back with a right kick to her shoulder.

"Hmph. Your Observation Haki is good as usual." Sashi states. '*Sigh* I still couldn't touch him...'

"Yeah." Ryu spoke.

"..."

"..." A sudden sad atmosphere comes around them.

"So, you're finally leaving." Sashi starts.

"Mmm." He nods softly. "That was the deal we had."

"Yes... That was the deal we had..." The tiger sadly tells. 'Only because I wanted to keep you here longer...'

• <Flashback to the start of the training, 3 years ago> •

"Well, uh, I came here to train myself and learn how to control my capabilities.", Ryu told Sashi.

"Oh, I see.", the tiger suspiciously thinks he's a masochist. 'Who would like to come here to train, a island full of beasts potentially able to kill the little human?'

"So, where exactly is this island at?" He wonders out loud while looking around.

"Mmn. It's in New World," Sashi tells him.

"Oh. New World." Ryu says, before it hit him. "Holy f**k, New World!?"

"Yes. The island is in New World. Only few humans has come to this island, though."

"Then where are they?"

"In the stomach of the beasts that ate them at the time, where else?" She bluntly states.

Ryu sweatdropped at that.

"Y-you're not gonna eat me, right?"

"Hahaha! Why would I? You're small, so I wouldn't have enough then."

'System, I hate you.' He announced in his mind.

[Love you too, Ryu.]

Rolling his eyes inwardly, he asks the system, 'so how am I gonna learn how to control my power?'

[Oh, you know, just piss off those beasts here and there then learn it. Ya understand?]

'...'

"Hey, so, want me to help you learn control?" Sashi suddenly asks him. "By that, I mean by fighting me, of course. I haven't had fun since the beasts around here are afraid of me and decided to crown me as the strongest in here."

'...She's kidding me right?' Sweating, he replies, "as long as I don't die, I w-w-wouldn't mind."

"Huh?" She became confused, "wait, are you really an masochist?"

[Yes, my host, Ryu, is an masochist.] The system replies, even though she wouldn't hear or see.

'F**k you!' Ryu mentally retorts. "No, no. I'm not!"

"Oh, ok. Well, I was serious about training you anyways, to kill time." Sashi starts to plan his training mentally. "First, let's find you a weak beast to spar with on this island."

|Observation Haki Training?|

"F******k! Stay away! Damn you dog! W-wait! I'm sorry!" A 6-yrs-old boy can be seen runni- dodging the attacks from the 'dog'. The 'dog' is actually an wolf enlarged to about the Earth's elephant's size.

*ROAR* The wolf roars angrily.

*WOOSH* Ryu dodges the right paw.

*WOOSH* And then, left.

*WOOSH* Then, right.

*FLAP* And finally, the tail.

|Armament Haki Training?|

"So, do you get it now?", the red-striped tiger said to the young boy in front.

Looking at the huge-ass rock that Sashi brought to him, "I'm to demolish the rock with my finger, the pinky one at that." Ryu states.

"Yes. Good, you do understand." She happily said before walking away.

'How the f**k am I supposed to crush it with my damn pinky?! Your pinky is bigger than mine, you dumb cat!' Ryu mentally shouts.

"Hmm? Did you say something bad about me, Ryu?" The cat turns her head and look straight at the boy's eyes.

"N-no! I did not say anything bad, ma'am!"

|Conqueror's Haki Training|

The tiger, Sashi, looks at the human in front of her, Ryu. They had been like this, without moving since the morning came. All of sudden, a huge pressure came out of Sashi and came upon Ryu massively. Ryu, of course, couldn't deal with it and fell onto his knees, but not before he sent out a bit of his own Conqueror's Haki roughly.

"*Sigh* As expected, you can't deal with mine. I'll go find a beast that's third to my Conqueror's Haki. Rest for now." Sashi tells Ryu, while leaving to search.

"Mmmn." He stiffly nods. 'I didn't expect the beasts to be able to have the Conqueror's Haki! Just how much of hell are you going to make me suffer though?!'

|Sword Training|

Two hawk-like eyes stare straight towards the green eyes. "You're the brat, huh?"

"Yes..." Ryu dramatically nods slowly. Inwardly though, 'Holy f**k! It's Dracule Mihawk! How the f**k does Sashi know this sword-obsessed bastard?!'

"You have a nice sword intent, though it looks new... as if you never used it. I don't understand." Mihawk states.

"Ah, I see..." Ryu replies with an dramatic thinking look. Mihawk still stares at him questioningly. 'Wait, you expected me to know?!'

|Combat & Rokushiki Training|

*BOOM*

A young boy flies through the sky.

'It's a bird, wait no, it's a plane! Wait, it's f**king me, Ryu!' He mentally shouts.

As he landed on the ground roughly, a old yet healthy man comes walking towards him. "Hey, you alright there? I kinda overdid it, haha!"

'F**k you and your 'overdid'! You screwed me to the damn sky, Rayleigh!' Ryu inwardly retorts angrily. Yes, the old man's Silvers Rayleigh, the former first mate of the Rogers Pirates.

"I'm fine, let's continue." Ryu replies. 'Otherwise Sashi's would beat me up to the death for a whole week, while you would do it for 3 days a week. Not hard to decide, right? Wait, how the f**k did Sashi know this guy again?!'

|Marksman Training|

*BANG*

"Dahahahaha! You missed by a whole feet from the target, brat!" A red-haired man laughs at the young boy who tried to shoot the apple on top of the red-haired man.

"Shut up! It's because you kept moving around too quick!" Ryu angrily shouts at him. 'Damn Shanks is too quick, otherwise with my Observation Haki, I would've sho-'

"Brat, don't rely on your Observation Haki too much, you'll need to rely on your guts." A dreadlocks-haired man told him. 'Hurry up and let me finish training you! That f**king tiger scares me!'

"Dahaha! Ryu, why don't you join us? Our crew's going to be strong and huge, we'll have fun partying and traveling freely!" Shanks tried to get him to join his currently small crew. 'This brat's definitely going to reject it no doubt.'

"No! I'd rather travel alone!" As expected, Ryu quickly declined it.

"Why alone?" Shanks asks.

Suddenly, a serious atmosphere comes upon them as Ryu takes his time to reply dramatically, "I'd rather to travel alone, because..."

"Because...?" The currently small Red-Haired Pirates awaits his answer.

"Because it's such a hassle to deal with others!" He bluntly stated.

"..." The whole Red-Haired Pirates were astounded at such answer. 'F**k! You had us waiting dramatically just because for that answer!?'

"Bawahahahaha! You're funny! Let's party up!" Shanks suddenly broke it up.

'Damn it Shanks! Stop wasting my time to train Ryu! Are you trying to get me heart attack the next time the red-stripes comes out of nowhere?!' Yasopp cried indignantly inward.

|The Day The Deal Started|

"Alright! I'll finally leave the island in 6 months!" Ryu shouted as he checked the calendar in the system.

"So you're going to leave soon in the end." Sashi suddenly appeared and spoke. 'Why am I feeling sad? I already knew he only came here to train himself...'

"Yeah. I'll miss you though." He replied back. 'It's been nearly 3 whole years on this island.'

"Hey Ryu, let's make a deal." The tiger asks him.

"A deal? What is it?" Ryu looks at the tiger questioningly.

"Ok, so the deal's like this", Sashi tells him a deal, so that she can keep Ryu around her a bit longer.

...

"So, if you touch me, I'll have to stay here longer?" Ryu asks for a confirmation. 'I don't mind that, to be honest. Still have several more years before Luffy starts his journey...'

"Yes. So? Will you do it?" The red-stripes hopefully looks at him.

"Mmm." He dramatically delays his answer, until Sashi looks like she's about to beat him up. "W-wait! I'll do it!"

*BAM*

"Hahaha! I touched you! Now you have to stay here another 6 months!" The tiger successfully touched him.

"Damn you cat! You ambushed me!" He starts to fight back the tiger. 'Heh, I bet Sashi missed me so she wanted to keep me here.'

• <Back to Present; 3 Years 6 Months Later; 9 years old>

"I had a lot of fun times around you, Ryu." Sashi tells him. "Come visit me sometimes, alright? Otherwise I'll come out New World and hunt you down!"

Ryu sweatdrops at that. "Alright! I will!"

'Wouldn't want people at the Grand Line to die of heart attack at the sight of the red stripes.'

*Ding*

[Teleporting 'Administrator' Ryu to the Grand Line...]

"See you, Sashi!" He yelled at the red stripes, teleporting away.

"See you!" Sashi yells back. "Yes... See you soon. *smirks*"

The unknown island that the handsome host was at suddenly disappears where it was at.
