Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 — “Training (a.k.a. Getting Violently Upgraded)”

The ocean roared.

The ship shook.

And at the center of the deck—

"…This was a bad idea."

MC stood there, facing a very excited Kaido.

Kaido cracked his neck.

"Ready?"

"…No."

"Good."

💥 Round 1: Instant Regret

BOOM!

Kaido vanished—

And reappeared right in front of him.

MC's brain barely processed it.

"…Oh—"

SMASH!

He got launched across the ship like a cannonball.

Straight into a wall.

Through the wall.

Into the sea.

🌊 Underwater Thoughts

MC slowly reformed into slime.

"…Okay update."

"I regret everything."

[Notice: Damage received — High][Activating Analysis…]

"…Can we activate 'running away' instead?"

[Suggestion denied.]

"…You're useless."

🧠 Evolution Begins

[Analyzing target: Kaido][Warning: Extremely high combat capability][Acquiring resistance…]

MC paused.

"…Wait. Resistance?"

He grinned.

"…Oh this is about to get unfair."

😈 Back on Deck

He bounced back onto the ship.

Everyone was watching now.

Whitebeard with folded arms Big Mom eating while watching chaos And at the center… Rocks D. Xebec, smiling

Kaido frowned.

"You're still alive."

MC stretched.

"Yeah. I'm like a bad habit."

💀 Round 2: Slightly Less Pathetic

Kaido attacked again—

Faster.

Harder.

This time—

SMASH!

MC still flew back…

…but didn't break apart.

He slid across the deck and stopped.

"…Okay that still hurt."

[Notice: Physical Resistance acquired (Minor)]

MC blinked.

"…WAIT IT WORKED?!"

He looked at Kaido and grinned.

"Again."

😂 Crew Reaction

Big Mom laughed loudly.

"MAMAMAMA! HE'S GETTING STRONGER!"

Whitebeard nodded slightly.

"Gurarara… adapting mid-fight."

Kaido's grin widened.

"Good."

🐉 Round 3: Now It's Personal

Kaido rushed again—

But this time—

MC didn't just stand there.

He melted into slime—

Dodged—

And reformed behind him.

"…Surprise."

Kaido turned—

Just in time to see—

"Predator."

A small part of Kaido's arm got swallowed.

Not fully.

Just a tiny bit.

But enough—

For silence to fall across the ship.

👁️ The Moment Everything Changed

[Notice: High-quality target consumed][Analyzing…]

MC froze.

"…Uh oh."

Kaido stepped back.

Not scared.

But interested.

"You just tried to eat me."

"…In my defense, it's kind of my whole thing."

⚡ New Power

[Skill acquired: Partial Dragon Resistance]

MC's eyes widened.

"…HAHAHAHA THIS IS SO BROKEN!"

He pointed at Kaido.

"You're basically my walking upgrade pack!"

Kaido laughed.

"You're insane."

"…Correct."

🧨 Rocks Steps In

Suddenly—

The air changed.

Rocks D. Xebec walked forward.

Everyone went quiet.

Even Kaido stepped back.

Rocks looked at MC.

"You grow with every hit."

"…Yep."

"You steal power."

"…Technically borrow permanently."

Silence.

Then—

Rocks smiled.

A dangerous smile.

"You'll either become the strongest…"

"…or the most dangerous mistake."

MC scratched his head.

"…Why not both?"

🔥 End of Training (For Now)

Kaido turned away.

"We'll continue tomorrow."

MC collapsed dramatically.

"NO WE WON'T—I NEED A VACATION!"

Big Mom laughed.

Whitebeard smirked.

Rocks just watched.

🌙 Final Scene

That night—

MC sat alone on the deck.

Looking at the ocean.

"…Okay real talk."

"This world is insane."

Pause.

"…But also kinda fun."

[Notice: Evolution path unlocked]

MC smiled.

"…Yeah."

"Let's break the world."
