Fuck my Life

Yeah. Remember all those seaking shares I bought? Just my luck.

Record storms continue to ravage the edges along the Grand Line and Calm Belts! Earlier this month, the Grand Line which commonly sees a great number of typhoons, saw a record number of storms skirting the edges of the Calm Belts. The Calm Belts of course, so named precisely because of their usual lack of winds or storms. While very few islands or people were affected by this, some were devastated. Ma and Pa Grubbs were particularly affected by this minor destruction.

Their fledging "seaking farm" took a particularly heavy blow when the seakings went crazy from the storm. "They jus' up and wen' nutters, ya know? One minute they were all peaceful like and then the storms came and the seakings, well they are wen' and freaked out like it was the end of the world. Kind of were the end of our world." A tearful Pa Grubbs sobbed onto his wife's shoulders. The Grubbs had just started their seaking farm on the edge of the Calm Belts as a means of raising seaking meat for Grand Line travelers.

The 200 acre "farm" was a small island with a large number of nets. During the latest storm's havoc however, the very seakings the Grubbs were raising went on a rampage attacking the island, destroying the nets and the poor Grubbs themslves only just got away. "Luckily," Ma Grubbs confided, "I put all our money investing into bath houses in Alabasta! So now at least we have someplace to go and we aren't completely financially ruined."

... Fuck my life.

I'm not sure... Renge hasn't asked me to.

Do people disappear frequently on this sea?

Huh. Really? Hm. You should talk to her and volunteer then. I know she was looking for help and you're really good at it.

I have no idea. Supposedly the Florian triangle has that effect. And people certainly appear here suddenly enough.

I'll make sure to ask her later.

I wonder how everyone gets here...

I'm sure she'll be thrilled.

Do you know how you got here?

I tripped a trap. It's been known to happen to me a lot.

No, I really don't remember how I got here. Maybe my Innocence went beserk...

... Your... um... what?

My Innocence. It's a very special substance that gives me my ability to control time. Back in my world, I used it along with others who could and we fought off demons.

You... can control time?! Holy shit that's awesome. Time machine or just like... magic or something?

Demons... Hm. You should talk to Rosette. She's a demon-slayer-shooter-something nun too!

It's not a time machine. It's my Time Record. I can momentarily reverse the effects of time, but eventually everything will return to it's due course. For example, if you were to become wounded, my abilities could reverse the effects, and for a short while, you wil be as you were before. However, once I stop using my ability, everything will return to how it was before I activated.

Wow. That's... impressive.

That's got to be... pretty much the most useful thing I've ever heard of. I take it there's a huge catch?

It's not really that usefull... I can't get rid of what has happened before. I can only, for a while, erase the bad things, but eventually, they'll return.

If someone receives a fatal wound, I can reverse the effect for only a little while. Whenever I release my grip on time, they'll die. I've had that happen to a few friends...

I see. Hm. But if you reversed it long enough would you be able to get them to a doctor?

...I'm not sure.

It sounds like it'd be most useful in combination with other people and effects. You could reverse time delaying whatever processes until someone else manages to get there and help resolve it.

Why didn't I think of that before?! It would have been so useful!

Sometimes it just takes another person to see the usefulness in an idea. And you're in a crew now so you can start practicing and everything!

I suppose. I just hope 'practicing' doesn't mean 'having someone on the brink of death'.

You could do it with things other than wounds though. Like if someone set the kitchen on fire, you could reverse it until people with buckets of water get there!

This is true.

Or if someone trips on stage you could make them untrip and then catch them!

I don't think it works for things like that.

Really?

Hm. What about poisons? You could keep the poison from spreading until an antidote is found!

That's what I end up doing most of them time. ^^;
