Couple of months went by.
In this time Dellas familiarizes himself with this world.
He kept doing a lot of physical straining on his body, to test the physical growth and resilience of his body.
At the same time he became suspicious, regarding the physical condition, of the people in this world.
He became more assured in this belief, when he saw an old man whose skin seemed to be falling off from his flesh, plowing the fields like an ox.
But it only took a couple of weeks to find out that the world he was in was the pirate world, One Piece.
Through a newspaper titled "The evil archeologists of Ohara are researching history to revive the ancient weapons." Later on the newspaper went into great detail to paint Oharas archaeologists as some world destroying threat.
Though this did clear up his confusion, about why the physical condition of the people here was so exaggerated.
But he was not happy to discover that this was the world of One Piece.
Instead he started cursing. "Why the heck am I in this messed up world? I would rather still be in my safe previous life... I might not be that secure there, after all that world seemed to plunge into chaos in recent times.
But that world is not as cruel as this world."
Deller fell into a daze.
It wasn't until Ruth came by that he seemed to wake up.
Ruth started to question Deller. "Hey Deller. What do you think about those evil historians?"
Deller replied solemnly. "They might not be as evil as you think Ruth. Afterall many things are not as they seem."
"What do you mean by that?" Ruth asked in confusion.
Deller started to explain. "Let me give an example. Take for example that someone in the village starts a rumor, without being sure, or just because they want revenge against you. In this example while the rumors are false, they will damage your reputation, and make you unpopular."
"Deller, what does this have to do with Ohara's historians?" Ruth questioned.
"Ruth in both situations the information is making both unpopular and targets of criticism. While you might not understand for now, but in the future, you will come to understand, that this world is not just black and white."
"But Deller. You're younger than me." Ruth stated,
"...Nevermind. Forget I said anything." Deller stated.
While later
While Deller was alone. He started thinking. "Since this is the world of One Piece. I probably can push my body a bit more. But I also remember that people in this world eat a lot."
Just thinking about Luffy's appetite made Deller question. "Since practically every strong person eats a lot. Should I start eating a lot?"
After pondering it for a while, Deller had a made an decision. "I should try eating more for a while, to see if I will make more progress."
A few weeks later
At the beach Deller was in his own thoughts. "Training while eating a lot definitely makes me stronger faster, but there are a few issues and uncertainties. For example, the imbalance in stamina compared to strength and speed?
I didn't pay much mind to this before, but now I see that my stamina is increasing much more comparapably to my strength and speed.
Is it just because I'm too young, that my strength and speed increase at a slower rate compared to my stamina? But that should not be the case, after everyone in the village has monstrous stamina"
After thinking for a while he came to a conclusion. "If I remember correctly most of the successful pirates became went to sea at early adulthood, this includes Roger, Rayleigh, Shanks, Ace, Luffy and so on. It's probably because that's the optimal time for becoming a pirate. And they probably went to sea because their strength and speed started to stagnate at that age."
After thinking about it, Deller came to a conclusion. "There is probably a natural limit to human potential, which prevents people from getting disgustingly strong, but if that was the case, there would not be people like Shanks and Roger from the original series. So there is something that can help with increasing speed and strength. I can think of two possibilities, one is haki which will help with becoming stronger, or constantly fighting stronger opponents. Afterall Luffy and his crew grew with this method within 3 years, from nobodies in the east blue to an emperor level crew."
After coming to such a conclusion, Deller had a headache. "If I can't become strong just by training, does that mean that I will have to go to the sea and fight? But that brings its own set of troubles to the table. After all, almost all non-world government affiliated people or organisations are labeled as "threats to the world government" and are given bounties. Only people who didn't get labeled as such were the weak bounty hunters in the four blues, and that was only because they didn't have the power to be a threat to the world government." After coming to such a conclusion Deller tried to think of a solution.
After thinking about it for a while Deller gave up and switched his focus to another matter. "But i should still train even if my strength and speed wont match my endurance after all there should be a reason why compared to Luffy and Zoro, Sanji and the rest of the group did not keep up in terms of strength, there is a couple reasons but in my opinion there is two main ones.
One is that Luffy and Zoro spent practically their whole childhoods training and surviving, as such they had both built up incredible endurance compared to rest of the crew.
And the second reason, should simply be talent, afterall while Luffy practically slept all the time, Zoro had spent all that time training, but Luffy still grew stronger faster rate in comparison.
The next reason should be that Luffy and Zoro, had the hardest fights and had surpassed their limits time and again, while it took Sanji who had fallen behind Luffy and Zoro to awaken his fathers genetic modifications to catch up, and that could be a type of surpassing one's limits to go beyond."
After mulling about it for a while he started sulking. "But that doesnt fix the issue of food, even if training can accelerate training, it takes a lot of food to train. I can probably set up some nets to catch fishes, but preparing them will take a lot of time. Hmm i should invite Ruth to train with me though he is a bit simple, he has learnt cooking from his mother, as for how to convince him to cook for us when we train, i'll just trick him into a bet and force him." After finishing his plans for the near future he went to check out a good spot for the fishing nets.
As for their mothers finding out about their training Deller wasn't worried, afterall he could just tell them that they are playing adults or something.
After finding a good spot for the fishing nets, Deller returned home. In the evening his thoughts returned to training or more accurately what kind of "playing they should do." "We should still probably keep the running pretty high and i can just mask it as playing tag, though i should probably invite some other kids to "play" with us, after all if i ever need to go to the sea i need some minions to stay behind to protect this place from pirates if they ever come here. Though i should probably invite more than a couple since if i want to go to the sea i will have to select some capable people to come with me, since i had no sense of direction so a good navigator is a must." A bit sad from his terrible sense of direction Deller went to sleep.
While Deller was asleep, a notorious pirate had just escaped from the "inescapable prison Impel Down".
Buru buru buru clank. "Moshi moshi its Sengoku."
"It's Vice Admiral Onigumo, Fleet Admiral, its terrible news. Golden Lion Shiki just escaped from Impel Down."
"What! How did this happen?!"
"We don't know yet but the guards at Impel Down barely had any time to react. Shiki just left without much of a fight."
"What should we do, Fleet Admiral?"
"...Find out how Shiki Escaped. I will handle the rest."
Enraged, Sengoku spat his orders. "Get that lazy ass Borsalino to Impel Down and see if he can quickly find the weakened Shiki."
"And get Vice Admiral Tsuru and Garp here, NOW!"
While Vice Admiral Tsuru was sent to strategise the recapture of Golden lion, the ever unreliable Garp had snuck out from navy hq, and was in the east blue settling Ace to Dadans care, though Garp was not available, there were other capable people available thus Garp's task fell on Vice Admiral Akainu who was currently in the New World, Akainu's task was to clear out the remnants of the Shiki's flying pirates. But when Akainu tried to find them they had disappeared.
Many days went by as Vice Admiral Borsalino and Akainu continued the search, but they did not find any traces of Golden Lion or his subordinates.
In Navy HQ after putting down the den den mushi the deflated Sengoku ordered a new bounty to be put on Golden Lion Shiki, a bounty of 4.0924 billion beli (I did try to search the bounty Golden lion had after breaking out of Impel Down but i failed to find it so i just took the highest bounty on him that i could find.)
