One Piece : Deathless Surgeon

To be honest, my first thought after learning that I would be isekai'd was that of happiness, after all, who doesn't want a new start in a new world with powers, all those glorious thoughts and ideas....

were shattered mercilessly today,

I have died five times....being eaten alive, resurrecting only to be eaten again....

NO!!!! this can't go on!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!! I screamed as I felt another bite taking another part of my flesh

ARGHHHHH! these filthy animals....what do they think they are, I will slaughter them, I will definitely kill each of you, what gave you the courage to think of me as prey, you think you can kill me????

I am an immortal.....no I am the immortal

I know all about this world, I am above it, yes, these are just beings from a story, I am above them all....

Arghhh... another bite broke my thoughts....no this can't go on, I can't give up hope, I have to kill them....

with another and all of my willpower, I dragged my tattered body up, forgetting about my devil fruit, I clenched my fists,

"FUCK OFF!!!!" screamed and punched with all my might...

but it was not the punch which was surprising, with his scream, A terrifying storm raged on all directions from Joshua, and all the wolves were knocked out, the eerie forest turned silent in that very instant, And Joshua, the cause for all this, had exhausted all his will and life in this very move, he died standing, as he fell, he was restored, and resurrected, and once again, with thud, Joshua started his life again, this time, with a deeper understanding of this world.

"hah...hah....hahh conqueror's haki....it's strange, I never thought it would be possible for me....maybe this is what they say about life and death battles....well I went further and did actually die, so I guess it makes sense....but first there is something more important first"

I searched for my sword, picked it and looked at the 10 wolves lying unconscious.....well I mutilated them.....and I guess my hatred for wolves is such that from now on, I would kill any wolf I see...

but for now, this incident was an awakening, I might be immortal, but I feel just the same amount of pain, so I need to train that this never happens again....it was due to my lack of perception...I was too carefree, and slept too deep, if I had something like observation haki, I might be able to avoid it, but I managed to awaken conqueror's haki out of it, so I guess it's not all bad.

And the fact that I awakened it also put some ease in my mind, at least it proves that even with my body same as that of my earth one, I can awaken haki, if I couldn't awaken haki, I would have been destined to never become a top powerhouse, well being a born and destined king, humm it does suit me well....

Anyways, enough fun and games, I have to start training more from now on...

As Zoshua starts his training time passes by quickly, and over a year has passed since he has arrived on this world.

'Haaaah I don't know how long it has been....I should have counted days....well nothing we can do now, but still, so long and not yet a single ship has arrived on this island, how deserted is this place...I mean, I haven't even seen a ship not even on the horizons, would I really have to make a boat on my own and sail from here...

no, I can't do that, although I am very strong now and can almost beat every beast in this island... my body...is really weak, no way in hell I could row long distances, and if by some mishap I encountered a storm and sank.....I would drown for eternity...

hmmm, maybe not eternity, at some point, I might just evolve breathing in water....but let's not try that, I would have to see if I could copy underwater breathing ability from mermen, since there upper body is same as humans and they can breath underwater, there lungs must be different, or would they also have gills? well I would see later...

But man is this boring....I mean there's not much I can do here, I have given up physical training, and training my devil has indeed made it improve very much, I have tried to develop it like a domain ability for offence, and have tried more conceptual things too, like splitting ones soul away from it's body, like law could exchange souls, I thought it would be better if instead of exchanging, I could just yank their soul out of them, easy kill...

Anyways, lot of ideas in mind, I have experimented on animals, took a lion's heart, then experimented on it, mixed in some eagle genes, and I had my very own gryphon, though it's strength was just a little stronger than an ordinary lion, and it could fly....nothing like the real mythical beast, but hey, it's a good start, and I have also trained my conqueror's haki seriously, at first I could only release it once after like a dozen tries, but now I can use it freely whenever I want, and could also sometimes spare some animals if I want too, so that's pretty good.

But the bad thing is that no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't awaken the other two haki, well practice was mostly for armament haki, observation haki is hard to practice alone, I tried using Garp's method of punching mountains, well I started with trees, but by now I have come to realise that, unlike conqueror's haki and observation haki, which are more or less independent from physique, armament is completely reliant on it, so without altering my body, it's impossible for me to awaken it.

for training observation haki, of course I would not try to blind fold myself and head into the forest, I am not interested in getting eaten again, despite all my attempts I have already died 10 times in the past year, and my resurrection ability is pretty cool to be honest, if I die, after being resurrected I would be in my peak condition, so if I get tired in a fight, I could just die and be back in my peak form and continue to fight, but I don't like dying so, I would practice observation haki in a different way, find a quiet place, sit with my eyes closed, would still blindfold for extra insurance and try to feel the outside world like a monk, maybe it would work, maybe not, but atleast it would calm my mind, an I do need that.

post isekai life has genuinely been the most hectic time for me both my lives combined, the hectic, anxiety filled atmosphere isn't suitable for living, I asked to be born 35 years before plot so that I could have extra time to train, but this also lead me to know little of the plot, so for now, I can only train more...

And so time passes, until one day in the horizon, there was a ship
