Chapter 2: Chapter 2

After twenty days of training, I finally got out of the training room. I feel my body get stronger, and my haki gets even sharper. Sadly, even with all that, I cannot defeat Luffy after he defeats Enel.

It looks like my body cannot be compared to someone who trained their body for more than a dozen years.

I can hurt him, but he can hurt me more. While both of us get healed every second, Luffy still hits me more than I hit him. I cannot beat him in real life. He has more pain tolerance and stamina than me.

Now, let's see what kind of mission I need to do for my next quest. At the mention of the quest, a screen appeared in front of me.

|Defeat 5 Devils|

So far, the quest appears automatically. That means I can continue to train and wait for them to come. However, should I do that? Nah. Too troublesome. I guess I will let nature take its course. I have a world to explore.

Now… Where should I go? I think I'm somewhere in Nagoya or near/inside Aichi Prefecture. I really want to go to the south and maybe make some kind of boat to explore the southern islands. Sadly, I have a lot to explore if I go north.

I guess I will go to the north. Where is the north? I look around for a few seconds before shrugging and start walking.

~Three hours later~

It's been a while since I took my first step toward the adventure, and I don't feel like I'm going anywhere. I swallow the berry I found earlier and decide to jump as high as possible. I continue to jump around for a few minutes before my eyes catch something in the distance.

"A village. Perfect!"

With the village in sight, I quickly run toward the general direction of the village while occasionally jumping high to see if I am still in the same direction. After running for a few hours, I arrived in front of a small village.

However, I could see four people walking toward me before I could get closer to the village. What gets my attention is the horn on their head and their skin color. One of them has the same skin color as a human, but the other has red and blue skin.

I know what kind of race they are. My ancestors fought against them in the past.

The one with blue skin and holding a Kanabo walked forward before saying.

"Who are you coming to our village?"

"My name is Reikan and I'm a traveler. I humbly ask you for shelter for the night."

"A shelter, eh? Do you know the tradition of asking an Oni for a shelter?"

"No."

"You need to prove your worth. Fight one of us and prove you are worthy to stay with us."

I grin at his declaration and release my Conqueror Haki.

"Bring it on!"

|Ito - Young Oni|

I can feel it. I think we can all feel it. I can feel pressure coming from the human in front of us that tries to force us to bow down. This is the first time I have seen a human like him. Every human coming to our village is either running away from fright or trying to kill us outright.

They still think that all Oni are human-eating monsters.

Not all of us like that. This village is one of those. We never once eat any human flesh in our life. Our ancestors might have done that in the past, but we never do.

Because of our ancestor's actions, we are branded as savages and monsters that should be killed immediately. When we see him walk to our village, I know that he is not the one who fears us, and when he asks us to stay in our village, I know that he is not a second-type human as well.

I grin a little and flare my aura, answering his challenge. I can see my father look at me and nod his head.

"Very well, human! Ito will be the one answering your challenge! Beat him and I will make sure you are welcome in our village."

"Fair enough."

The human grin at me and take a battle stance. However, what catches my attention is his hand. His hands have changed color. His hands are now pitch black, and I can feel spiritual energy gathering around his fist.

Is it like Touki? But it is different. It is denser than a regular Touki. Interesting. I grin and walk forward, then take a battle stance.

"Are you both ready?!"

I can hear my father's words and nod my head. I can see my opponent nod as well.

"Fight!"

After hearing his words, we both dash forward and thrust our fists.

*BOOM*

I grin a little as I can feel a slight pain coming from the impact of both of our fists. I throw another fist at him, and he also greets my fist with his own. Both of us continue to trade punches for a few minutes before I decide to jump away from him.

I can feel my hand shaking from the exchange.

"Are you really a human?"

I can see he did not shake from our exchange. A normal human will shake from our previous little fight.

"I'm one hundred percent human. I just train really hard."

"Oh? Really?"

"Yes. Each day I get beaten black and blue by my sparring partner and I always get up. Never give up is the key to my training."

I can feel my grin get even bigger now. I quickly dash once again and see him dodging most of my attacks and blocking the rest. I continue to use all my strength to get a direct hit but to my surprise, I cannot land a clean hit.

How? I increase my speed, and he keeps dodging and blocking my attack. It is as if he knows where I want to punch and is already planning to block and dodge my attack.

"Urgh"

I grunt a little when I feel him punching my stomach. I grit my teeth when I feel another punch hitting me; this time, he hits my head. I roar and make a counter-attack, but it does not work. He always anticipates my attack and is ready to do a counter-attack of his own.

I grit my teeth as I continue to get punched by him. I can feel my body fall to the ground and see him on top of me with a grin on his face.

"I win"
