Chapter 4 Paper Devil Fruit
It would be ridiculous if he said that he wasn't happy with his immortal body, he was destined to become an indomitable god in this world and possibly other worlds later.
He has an immortal body, what more could he ask for?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt his cells ignite with sheer enthusiasm, that feeling! That's adrenaline! It was the same feeling he had when he succeeded in penetrating the protection of the servers of the most powerful nations of his previous world and learning the secrets hidden away from the eyes of ordinary humans.
Yes, he felt like a peerless being, as if he had gone back to the old days when he was nicknamed Net's Ghost.
In the past, he was hiding in the dark like a sewer rat and not daring to stay outside for long.
But now everything will be different.
Rob looked at the warm sunshine on his face and felt satisfied, this world was so real.
It looked more amazing than the real world.
The sky was bluer than the sky above the earth and full of lining clouds on which other life forms might live, and the sea was bluer and full of rich sea life, it seemed as if the color of the water was really blue and not colorless , all this just shows how clean it is this world compared to his previous world that was already waiting for death, unfortunately.
When he saw Olvia before and compared her to the beauty of the models in his memory she seemed like an improved and more refined version of them, just like that perfect 3D he was once making.
His wife was really beautiful, she was so beautiful that he felt so happy to have such a wife just by crossing into this world.
He made a promise to himself that he would protect her forever and not let her suffer that miserable fate in the original story, after all, it was decided that he would not die in this timeline.
Rob looked at his hands that had turned into rows of interlocking white paper with an analytical look.
This was the first time he had used this Paper Devil Fruit's abilities, he had tried making the paper he created from his hands become sharp and hard and had succeeded in doing so with some relative difficulty.
As for Rob, he chose this devil fruit in order to use it to create manga volumes, not for use in combat.
As for what he would use in combat from now on, it would of course be his sword until he found other fighting methods.
After all, he was a powerful swordsman who mastered two types of Haki and could rival a powerful Vice-Admiral of the Navy, not only that, but he had a famous sword of a supreme grade and one of the 12 best swords that ever existed , Suragiri!
(A/N: Since the 12 swords haven't come out in full yet, I just created one of my imagination and added it to the story, that's a Fanfic after all.)
Suragiri was a famous sword that was said to be able to slash the sky itself if its owner was strong enough, and this powerful sword followed the former Rob for many years even before he joined the Roger Pirates when Rob was just a lone wolf who gained the kindness of Roger and Rayleigh and joined him into the crew by force.
It was because of the sword that he was able to catch the attention of someone of Roger level anyway.
Rob came back from his ideas and used his rich imagination to create different shapes of papers.
Getting used to the Devil Fruit was a difficult task at first, but with time Rob was able to adapt to creating paper and manipulating it somewhat skillfully.
With his immortal body, he had infinite stamina, the problem that all Devil Fruit eaters had of rapidly depleting their stamina was never applicable to him.
An immortal body had cells regenerating every second, his stamina was active all the time, he had an inexhaustible life force, it was an impossible existence embodied in human form that simple.
As he continued to practice summoning paper and shaping it into different geometric shapes, different sizes, different thicknesses, and even different colors, the day flew very quickly.
Rob spent the whole day in the stern of the ship, which was a place far from the eyes of others, and with the help of his observation Haki which he could use easily Rob avoided any attempts to investigate his situation but he didn't ignore Olvia's coming to check on him from time to time.
And at night she came with a dish of delicious dinner in her hand, Rob quickly finished ithe dish and he went back to training. When she learned that he was ate a devil fruit she was surprised but she didn't think much, between herself and her husband there weren't secrets, she loved him and he loved her. So she knew that he wouldn't hide anything from her, if there was one thing that really amazed her today was his energetic and abnormal state for which she had no explanation yet.
After all, she knew that he would die in a few years and she was already ready to catch up with him in her heart, which was why he had been depressed the whole time since parting with Roger's crew and follow her, but now it was just the opposite as if he wasn't going to die.
While she was thinking how good it would be for her gentle husband to live with her forever, she fell asleep with tired eyes and heavy thinking as she watched him train hard to summon and control the powers of the Devil Fruit.
When Rob noticed that Olvia was sleeping on the cool wooden deck of the ship, he stopped training and quickly took her in his arms.
She was like a sleeping angel in his eye.
He sighed a little pity and walked towards their room on the lower deck of the ship, he knew that it was carrying deep sorrow over his previous fate, but he hadn't yet found a logical way to tell her that he would not die.
Rob took it all in his heart and went down the stairs towards the basement of the ship. The ship was as big as a merchant ship, it had so many rooms that there were many partners on the ship, all of whom were archaeologists from his wife's team.
To these archaeologists, Rob was a wonderful man who protected them from many pirates and dangers all the way to the West Blue, but his former shy nature prevented him from merging with them so deeply and for that reason he always went to the stern of the ship in order to question for the meaning of life.
Rob was really wondering how this guy could confess his love for Olvia.
When he came back to examine the memories, he almost fell from shock... Olvia was brave enough to admit to him! What a truly brave woman she was.
