Chapter 2 - Gift Pack
Blaize woke up at warm morning sunlight falling on his face, the air was fresh and the weather is pleasant. Cloudless blue sky stretched as far as his eyes could see.
Though he just woke up, he couldn't shrug off the uncomfortable feeling welling up in his stomach; a sickening sensation. Sailing in a ship over the sea made him a little nauseous as it was his first time.
The previous body owner is used to it, but he was not. It took him a few minutes for his mind and body to adapt to sea travel.
Aside from seasickness, he felt an agonizing pain in his belly as if he was bleeding internally. 'It should be caused by that bastard Barb's kick. His second kick was really vicious!'
He wasn't alone in the deck, but no one bothered him. Shutting his eyes, Blaize checked the 'GIFT PACK' that he transmigrated with.
He had no time and wasn't in a situation to check it yesterday. The Gift Pack is the reason why he endured everything. If not, he would have already retaliated and let Barb directly kill him.
In his current state, even if he was a genius he can't survive in this world without any backing or support. Not anytime soon. After all, he was just a slave with little to no strength!
But with Gift Pack, it's entirely different. He just had to wait for the right opportunity, then no one can stop him from ascending to the peak of this world.
Stifling his zeal, he observed the Gift Pack in his mind. It was a square box wrapped in colorful and decorative paper with a golden ribbon lacing it.
Wasting no time, he let the Gift Pack open with his thought. The decorative packaging came undone by itself and the box opened on its own.
Inside the box lay three items, a black cube with blue linings connecting to form a strange symbol, a vial with red liquid, and a devil fruit.
The black cube suddenly turned into multicolored filaments and entered his brain. Soon, a transparent interface materialized before him.
[~ Gift Pack Opened!!
1. Support system
2. Bloodline Vial
3. Devil Fruit
4. Note -- I hope you like the Gift Pack - from an anonymous God. ~]
Blaize was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. 'Sure enough! How could someone transmigrate without a cheat? Hahaha!!'
Right now, his mental state transcended the words 'Happy' and 'excited'; words can't express his raging emotions. Suppressing his excitement, Blaize touched the bloodline vial. Soon rows of information appeared in the interface, stunning him once again.
[~ Refined Senju Bloodline: Produced from the bloodline essence of Asura Ōtsutsuki. Taste it, and you will possess the bloodline of Senju.
Note: This world doesn't have any chakra. So, none of the skills related to chakra can be achieved in this world. ~]
'It's what I am talking about.' Blaize knew very well how powerful a Senju can be. Immense physical strength, powerful regenerative abilities [even lost limbs can be recovered], strong life force, stamina, and so on.
Resisting the urge to swallow the vial with all his willpower, he switched his attention to the last item. Soon, a new row of information emerged before him.
[~ Modified Devil Fruit: Ama Ama no Mi (Sun-Sun Fruit)
Description: It's a special Paramecia that allows the user to draw strength from the sun and also grants them the ability to manipulate the energies of the sun.
This devil fruit is modified and the inherent weakness is minimized as much as possible.
Fall in the sea: You will lose the effect of your devil fruit, but you can still swim.
Handcuff with the seastone: You will lose the power of your devil fruit, but it won't weaken your strength or haki.
Warning: This devil fruit should only be consumed after the constitution attribute caps '5' bar point. Otherwise, you will burn to ashes. ~]
As soon as he finished reading the information, the Gift Box disappeared along with the vial and devil fruit on its own, and a new row of information flashed in the interface.
~ Initializing support system...Loading...Loading...
The support system has been successfully initialized.
System Introduction: Like its name, the support system's sole objective is to assist the host to achieve his dream. The system has no consciousness, so you can't interact with it.

[Note: Here all the attributes are relevant to One piece world. An ordinary civilian would have an attribute of '1' and the strongest being '100'. Your attributes aren't limited to the number 100. You can even go beyond that.]
A word from the anonymous god: Anything related to the Gift pack can't be shared or told to others. Otherwise, you will face the consequence. ~
Closing the interface, Blaize opened his eyes only to meet with Barb's cold brown eyes which matched with his hair.
"What are you daydreaming about right after sleep? Here, eat your fill, and wipe the entire ship. If I see any dirt, I will make you lick it clean." Barb left, leaving behind the half plate of meat and indifferent words.
As soon as he left, Blaize looked around him and noticed apart from two pirates who are busy watching the sea for any threats, the others went to have their breakfast.
'Interface' Blaize thought and it appeared. He clicked on the bloodline vial and a small vial magically appeared in his hands.
Opening the lid, Balize emptied the contents into his mouth which had neither taste nor smell. As soon as he did so, he felt a burning sensation rising in his body.
It was bearable. The burning sensation soon turned itch, followed by warm currents coursing through every part of his body. His constitution starts to change from the cellular level.
He knew it will be a long time process, so Balize didn't dwell on it and soon began to greedily devour the meat slices that disappeared into his stomach in a few bites.
Letting out a small burp, Blaize began to mop the ship. While his hands cleaned the floor, his consciousness assimilated the memory he inherited from the previous body owner and arranged it in an orderly manner.
Within a few minutes, he learned everything he wanted to know.
He's currently in North Blue, which is currently ruled by the Germa Kingdom. And the current timeline is 1509 in the Great age of pirates.
Only three months have passed since the start of this year.
Without a doubt, Blaize was excited thinking of all the legendary characters he saw in the anime and manga.
He desires to meet all the characters and have a good fight with them. Especially Whitebeard, Kaido, Dragon, and so on.
A strong feeling rose from his heart. Without his awareness, a strong fighting intent surged out of his body but it was soon suppressed by his thoughts before it was noticed by Durd and others.
'If I can fight with them...No, thinking so far is useless. If I want to achieve all that, I have to escape from my current predicament and increase my strength.'
