Inside the world of the Time Chamber.
At first, Sylvan thought his entire body would be dragged into this world.
In reality, only his soul had entered, while his physical body was still locked up in Impel Down.
The Plunder System explained that as his soul improved, his body in Impel Down would automatically grow stronger as well, so there was no need to worry.
“Why is this different from what I imagined?” Inside the Time Chamber, Sylvan looked toward the distant sky.
Wasn’t the one in Dragon Ball supposed to be an endless expanse of white?
Yet the Time Chamber exchanged by the Plunder System was completely different.
It was almost identical to the world of One Piece, with mountains, seas, and scattered islands.
From time to time, Sea Kings even surfaced from the ocean to hunt.
“Don’t tell me it moved the entire One Piece world into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?
Why isn’t there anyone?” Sylvan looked around.
He was standing in a massive primeval forest, with not a single person in sight.
Although it was also a Time Chamber, certain aspects were clearly different from the one in Dragon Ball.
“This is even better.
I can find opponents to practice against.” Sylvan grinned happily.
After roughly scanning the area, he discovered that prehistoric creatures were still living in this forest.
“Wood Clone Technique.” Sylvan recalled the way Hashirama Senju formed hand seals and copied him, forming the same seal.
In the end, absolutely nothing happened.
“Damn it.
Did I eat a fake Wood Release Fruit?” Sylvan looked again and again, but there was no trace of a Wood Clone anywhere around him.
“No, wait.
I got it wrong… Forming hand seals is completely unnecessary.
The ninjas in Naruto form hand seals because they have chakra as an energy source.
I don’t have chakra.
This is a Devil Fruit.
Why the hell would I need hand seals?” After thinking it through, Sylvan suddenly understood.
He then sat down cross-legged.
During his earlier conversation with the Golden Lion, he had also asked about how Devil Fruits were used.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
Just as Sylvan was studying the Wood Release Fruit, a large-scale tremor suddenly came from up ahead.
He opened his eyes and saw a creature close to a dinosaur charging wildly toward him, its huge mouth wide open.
“I have no intention of becoming your meal.” Sylvan quickly stood up and sprinted away.
The system had said that no matter what kind of injury he suffered in the Time Chamber, he would not die, but he was not stupid.
Who would willingly become this thing’s food?
Sylvan vanished like a gust of wind, moving extremely fast, as if he were flying.
If this had been before, it would have been unimaginable.
The former Sylvan had been a sickly invalid who struggled even to walk, let alone run.
“Forget it.” Before he had run more than a few steps, Sylvan stopped.
He turned to look at the incoming dinosaur-like creature and smiled calmly.
“Since I won’t die anyway, this is a perfect chance to test the fruit’s ability.” The fastest way to understand his own power was through combat.
Sylvan’s combat power was zero, so he could only get beaten.
Bang.
A loud crash rang out.
Sylvan was sent flying by the dinosaur-like creature.
His body almost felt like it had fallen apart as he slammed heavily into the ground.
The skin on his chest was scraped open, and his entire body throbbed with sharp pain.
“No elementalization.
It isn’t a Logia…” Sylvan endured the pain and analyzed in a low voice.
He had no choice but to use this stupid method.
Unlike Luffy, who had a teacher like Rayleigh guiding him, even the Golden Lion had only taught him a few things verbally.
He had to train on his own.
“The Wood Release Fruit is most likely a Paramecia.” Sylvan muttered confidently to himself.
A cool sensation spread across his wound, incredibly comfortable.
He lowered his head to look and became greatly excited.
The scraped wound had actually repaired itself in an instant, without leaving even the slightest scar.
The pain had disappeared as well.
“With such heaven-defying recovery, did I turn into a wooden man or something?” Sylvan’s eyes shone brightly.
The Wood Release Fruit allowed him to use the Wood Release abilities from Naruto, and Wood Release also possessed healing capabilities.
After figuring out his ability, Sylvan was overjoyed, as if he had discovered a new continent.
He spent the entire day researching the Wood Release Fruit.
During that time, to verify his abilities, he even deliberately injured himself all over, but every wound rapidly healed.
Sylvan also tried to imitate Hashirama Senju’s offensive techniques, but the power was thousands of miles apart, not even worth comparing.
Moreover, when launching those large-scale attack techniques, although there was no such thing as chakra consumption, they consumed an abnormal amount of stamina.
After trying a few times, Sylvan’s physical strength could no longer keep up.
He was breathing heavily like an ox and could not help thinking of Trafalgar Law.
That guy’s Op-Op Fruit also consumed an extreme amount of stamina.
It could be considered its only flaw.
“Damn your big mouth.
This system definitely did this on purpose.
In the future, I have to prepare more Senzu Beans.
This Devil Fruit is seriously luxurious.” Sylvan looked up at the night sky with a blade of grass in his mouth and peacefully fell asleep.
Of course, Sylvan was only complaining for the sake of complaining, using it to pass the boring time.
The Wood Release Fruit consumed a lot, but like the Op-Op Fruit, it was heaven-defying and had limitless potential.
Time flowed by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.
As soon as the sky brightened, Sylvan stood up and began training.
He only had two years inside the Time Chamber.
Once the chance was gone, it would not come again.
The vast primeval forest was covered in pits and uneven ground.
Sylvan lowered his head and looked at the footprints, searching for the idiot dragon from yesterday.
Today, he would definitely take revenge.
“Found it.” A short while later, after walking a few hundred meters, Sylvan discovered that idiot dragon resting beneath a large tree.
“Get over here and die for Daddy!
Today I’ll beat you so hard even your mother won’t recognize you!” Sylvan roared.
After figuring out his own abilities yesterday, he had enough confidence to kill this stinking dragon.
