Honestly, it's kind of plain and simple isn't it? Despite our money problems, I have to think about the future. And while yes, money would help a lot, surviving might just be a little bit better. If I don't become as strong as I can be before the Strawhats get here, then there's a good chance I won't stay alive long enough to use whatever money I come by. I'll just have to hope that Kaya can pull through for us. Right now, the important thing is to focus on becoming someone that's actually useful.

Before I can really improve anything, I need to know what I can actually do. Yeah, from the memories handed down to me, I can tell Usopp was pretty good with this slingshot, but will I be? Will his skills be handed down to me, and if not, what do I do? Will I try to focus on something else? Maybe become a barehanded fighter or maybe even a swordsman. Would that work?

I quietly sigh at my own thoughts. Of course that wouldn’t work. The Strawhats already have a swordsman in Zoro and our very own Captain scraps with his hands only. I leave our rundown shack for a while, letting the kids enjoy themselves while I figure out what the hell I can actually do.

Apparently, I can do quite a bit, I just can’t do many (Read: Any) of them well. Like any anime protagonist, I’ve named my skills. Things like Quick Shot, Trick Shot, and Sharingan. That last one really surprised me actually. No, I don’t suddenly develop a cursed red eye with fictional powers, but it’s...fucking jarring. It doesn’t work all the time, but if I really focus my all into observing something, I can sometimes predict how it will move. It’s not like the world slows down around me or anything, I can just...do it. It’s truly amazing how adaptable the human mind really is, because I got used to the, “Everything is anime” thing real quick. Well, until I started to focus that is. Then it got weird again. Now that I'm kind of used to everything though, this is so cool. Battles, friendship, heroism, here I come!!!

....But Goda Damnit do I need some more pellets! Going around and picking them all up each shot is annoying!

Before I knew it, a week flew by. An entire...week….when the hell are the Crew going to get here?!
