Chapter 4 - Chapter 2: Lineage Factor, The start of the grind, and timeskip

Jack grumbled as he knew the World Economic News Paper should have been published by now judging by the title but that was minor as the navy still published vegapunk's lineage Factor which meant he'd be six years older then robin but gave him ample time to intervene in oden's stupidity so that ohara had a refuge when the buster call came.

Jack sighed as he tossed the paper out of his crib before beginning exercising, why? because of the limitless talent he received and he planed to use it to his fullest afterall looking through the shop he noticed things that would make imu very upset like revival items that scaled up in price because of certain restrictions the first one noticed was a phoenix down from final fantasy. what would he use it for? well jack was always dissatisfied with how the navy pushed rouge to her death by looking for ace and jack planned for ace to finally grow up with a mother but roger himself would be more difficult, why? because after killing him the navy would be sure to get rid of the body which would scale the price up considerably because of the lack of body not to mention he'd need something else to cure his illness.

although it surprised him to realize that both he and robin were of the D. clan but didn't really change his plans just made them a bit more difficult. and since he didn't know whether the D. meant destiny or desire because he died before oda revealed that, although he figured whatever it meant it was probably changed by imu to mean something like devil but that didn't matter.

as he worked his infant body out he could feel himself getting stronger considerably probably thanks to the hundred times multiplier, jack kept planning and waiting because he couldn't do anything for a couple years not to mention there wouldn't be any opportunity. and so jack continued to train and learn for the next few years while constantly doing his daily sign-in, which seemed to depend on what island he was on because all he got was knowledge so far.

-------------Timeskip:3 years-------------

Jack is now three but he didn't look lie any three year old he looked more like seven or eight and his body was built with solid muscle giving him a bit of an athletes build which isn't what he wanted but because of his young age it limited him from getting the brick house body like whitebeard and so on like he wanted but he was willing to be patient. but his plans couldn't wait anymore as he received news that mister flamingo's father gave up his divine position as a celestial dragon (something both jack and homing himself thought wasn't that divine anyways) which meant rosinante and flamingo's mother was gonna die soon jack thought as he loaded supplies onto his ship he had removed from his spatial storage.

It was night time and everyone except himself was asleep, he had made sure to get enough eternal log poses to get to sabody where he planned to obtain the location of wano while also getting his ship coated so he could pass into the new world mainly because he didn't want to go through the calm belt just yet as he wasn't ready or equipped to deal with those huge seakings yet because he needed a few crew members and himself with observation haki so the ship wouldn't be sunk when he wasn't looking.

Jack sighed as he sat in a comfy chair on the main deck as he ordered the ship to head off, meditating trying to feel for the two main haki's observation and armament and while he may have potential for conqueror's he need to awaken it before he could even try to train in it.

and so in a span of a week as he headed towards the redline he spent time meditating and practicing his sharpshooting jack began to get inklings of both haki's but was no where near being able to use them yet.

when jack reached the redline he ordered the ship to sail up the stream secretly glad his ship sailed itself as he had no idea how to use the helm accurately so if he was the one steering he would have crashed or something without the ability to complain. when the ship flipped in the air turning toward the paradise portion of the grandline, he grabbed on tight as he ordered the ship to drop oars and start slowing down worried he might accidently hit laboon.

when he finally reached the bottom the ship had slowed to a halt as he looked around not spotting the island whale but seeing the lighthouse nearby. jack sighed then ordered the ship to sail deeper into paradise sailing past the several islands on the way. he didn't stop at all before the cursed sea where brook was trapped mainly because he had his supplies well in hand since he took time to learn fishing to restock whatever he ate along the way. in the process of fishing and cooking he learned that even skills like those seemed to improve drastically as he saw remarkable improvement the more he did each task. realizing that the hundred times multiplier applied to more then just training his body but pertained to all skills and professions he practiced, jack shrugged and looked toward the dark overhead clouds that appeared ahead.

Jack held out hope that this journey through might have him run into brook but noticing a distinct lack of ghost ships he slumped in his chair disappointedly as he ordered the ship to continue towards sabody figuring he'd stop by again another time probably after gecko moria got his ass wooped by kaido (if that ever happened at all) so he'd be able to pick up both perona and brook at the same time.

As Jack sailed he had no idea that his note he left for clover made the old man panic slightly before he calmed himself mentally reassuring himself that such a monster would be fine on the seas. Meanwhile as jack sailed past several more islands he finally noticed the signs of sabody from a distance, the bubbles that soared in the air and the huge ass tree that bespoke of the island were wonderous. as he sailed to a random tree in the lawless zone in a place out of sight jack stored the ship back into his spatial inventory before walking through the island looking for shakky's rip off bar since the rocks pirates have already disbanded it took him a couple hours to find it between dodging various attacks from pirates and slave catchers (and each one that attacked him happened to be shot in the jewels from a mauser he materialized making sure such scum would never procreate and got shop points for it) he finally found it stepping in right in the middle of shakky shaking down some recent retarded customers which paused her actions as she was shocked that such a young child walked in like he was meant to be there, although he was mostly covered in black from cargo pants and combat boots to a dark cloak that covered the rest and an eerie black mask that covered the bottom of his face with a sharp toothed smile printed on it and his short white hair was in a chopped spiky style. (his hair is kinda like kakashi's) "Just a moment" she said finally collecting herself but not picking up the cigarette she dropped on her latest victem whom was screaching in pain from the cig burning his face. "just let me finish mugging these fools before i can see what you need" she finished before going back to beating the shit out the recent customer.

Twenty minutes later after planting the idiots outside and taking all their belly she walked behind the counter taking a drag off another cig before turning to jack who was sitting at the bar. "Sooo whats a young boy like you doing in a very dangerous place like this?" she asked as she poured a glass of wine for herself noticing he didn't ask for anything to drink most likely aware of her heavily inflated prices.

"well... miss shakky i now more then most in this world and i knew you could help me in certain areas of information that i'm lacking in. I need two things from you one i need the location of wano and two i need a ship coater as i don't plan to go through the calm belt. I have the ability to get enough money for both however doing so would put me on certain peoples radars so i need the information first before i go robbing every crook and scum between here and the navel out post because once i'm done I'm gonna have to leave quickly considering who i think are scum." shakky froze mid-sip as he she pondered that before sighing and setting the glass down and taking a drag from her cig before replying "I can do you one better i have the eternal log pose for wano but i can't hand it to you before i get my money, the ship coater however i can have done before hand but again before i let you leave i'm gonna need the money to pay both myself for the connection and the ship coater for the work." mentally calculating while taking another drag before finishing " and judging by the speed you want done its gonna be slightly inflated... and who do you consider scum if you don't mind me asking?" jack sighed as he knew such things were required so didn't mind the price then spoke "well... let's just say that after i'm done there will be an admiral arriving quite quickly. just give me the confirmed price and you can keep an eye on me while i acquire the money." after he finished he looked up seeing shakky in shock again so much that she accidently dropped her cig into her glass of wine. calming down she shook her head shocked at this kid's recklessness but knew there were some that didn't fear those so called divine nobles. "well since you are gonna target those people i'll get the price and the coater ready then we'll show the coater to your ship then you can get to obtaining that money. Shakky sighed realizing its gonna get chaotic on sabody for awhile.
