Chapter 4 - 4 - Tarzan!
Before he knew it, a month had passed since Will activated the Infinity Gauntlet.
Within a month, naturally, not a single ship appeared in his vision, not even a ghostly shadow.
There were only fierce beasts that were fighting for food all the time!
And as the user of honey badger, flathead brother Will seems to have a real trend to develop to something similar to his devil fruit trait.
As a Devil Fruit user, besides the weaknesses of being afraid of seawater, seafloor stones and Haki, there are other side effects as well.
For example, a certain iceman who likes to sleep and is always waking up and riding his bicycle around!
Also, a kid who likes to eat because he can expand his stomach with impunity because his entire body is made of rubber!
There's also a red dog who looks like he owes everyone 'tens of billions of Beli' because he ate the magma fruit.
This characteristic seems to be even more prominent in the body of people with animal-based abilities, who have inherited these animal-special abilities, while some instinctive habits and personality traits also influence the user all the time. .
For example, if a person eats the devil fruit of an egg, he or she will become fond of laying eggs...
Don't ask me why, and don't ask me why the Egg Fruits are not Paramecia, but Zoan.
And when Will uses his honey badger ability, he becomes... Very good at eating, and loves to pick fights with 'people'!
Whether he can fight it or not, or whether he can eat it or not, he goes for it first!
On Earth, that would be a complete stunner, the kind that won't fall until the south wall is knocked down!
So within a month of getting this devil fruit ability, Will was quickly promoted from a cautious 'surviving' state to a 'bear cub' who was not afraid of anything and dared to go up and give a claw no matter what he saw!
Maybe the honey badger fruit didn't give him any ungodly offensive power, but that 'stubborn' pelt would tell any predator what desperation is!
Will also relied on his strong defence and resilience to repeatedly escape from the mouths of those extremely powerful overlord creatures.
Fruits of all kinds were no longer his only food, but his staple food became every carnivorous beast he defeated.
One of them, a large sea turtle that came ashore when the night fell and tried to eat him, but instead of snacking on the little human, it instead became a snack for it.
And it has a Crunchy chicken flavour!
You think hiding in a turtle's shell will save you?
What do you know about the sharp teeth that can easily crunch turtle shells and eat them like potato chips?
So, in just one month, with good food, good nutrition, and a group of accompanying trainers fighting with him to death, Will successfully grew from a rice insect waiting for death to a rice insect with some power!
Having a bronzed body with strong muscles was something he never dared to even think about when he was on Earth!
Barring those three overlords in this forest, there's nothing he can't handle! Even if he can't beat them, it's okay to run!
That's why the saying of you will grow into the kind of person you are in the environment you are in is definitely true!
emmmmm... Except for being rice worms!
.......
A year later, on an isolated island in the middle of the ocean, a young man in his late 20s, wrapped only in a piece of animal skin that had the focus of the beast, was chasing a 25-meter-tall chimpanzee with a hammer!
One of the island's three tyrants, a majestic tiger with pure white fur, has been trained by him to be a big, docile cat.
The 100-meter-long python who was also once the tyrant of this island became his happy nest for him at night even though it's cold.
Now all that's missing is the chimpanzee's constant intermittent disobedience!
So having been here for over a year, Will's main daily recreational activity now is to eat, sleep and hammer the gorillas!
After hammering the 'cunning' chimpanzee to the ground for the umpteenth time.
If you don't look at that head bag, it's no different from a chimpanzee in a zoo for people to see.
Unfortunately, Will, who has been fooled several times, doesn't believe in it so easily.
"I say, Little Black, I think you're just a typical person who remembers what he eats rather than what he hits!"
"Have a look at Little White and Big Black, how happy and joyful they are now living every day!"
"All day long, you just eat and sleep and eat again!"
"Think of the days when you used to fight for territory every day, and then look at now!"
"What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine, don't you understand that?"
Will is sitting right in front of the chimpanzee, babbling endlessly.
After a year of holding back and not even finding a single person to talk to, Will is tough as nails without being crazy!
It's not easy to catch this chimpanzee who's still humane, but if he doesn't suffer, who will!
Why else would it be the only one of the former Three Hegemony that was only thinking about running away all the time!
Yes, it hurts to be beaten!
But it's harder to endure Will's continues blabbering than to be beaten!
So it chose to run away, to fight!
Unfortunately, the island is not that big.
So where could Little Black go?
Except for the first few times when it hid for a few days with the familiarity of the island and lived a few days of leisure.
But after those happy days, the endless pain and suffering awaited him!
Will, who familiarizes himself with the island, had less and less time to catch it each time it ran, like this time when it was beaten up by Will after only one hour of sneaking around.
If Little Black could talk, it would be crying out to him, begging him to leave it alone and let the other two get away with it!
An hour later, after a good mouthful of blabbering, Will let go of the pitiful Little Black who was on the verge of collapse.
He also left its side, making Will feel that it's hard to be a parent, and it's hard to manage a wild child.
After completing his daily recreational activities, Will climbed the highest tree in the forest and looked into the distance.
It had been more than a year, and his heart had turned from anticipation to numbness.
He had made up his mind that if no more boats passed through the ocean, he would build himself a raft and get out of here.
He was sure that even with the help of the Infinity Gauntlet and the Devil's Fruit, it would be almost impossible for a simple little raft to carry him to the next island unharmed.
But he can't wait any longer, it's better to die in the sea after all his efforts than to die here as a savage!
The past him, who believed that it was better to die than to live, naturally did not have the courage, but this year of having a primitive life had completely changed him.
At least he had enough of this savage-like life!
After all, not everyone is called "Tarzan".
