*Next Day*

It was a bright sunny day. A bird scooped down delivering news of a new pirate who was just starting to stir up interest in the pirate world called, "Monkey D. Luffy".

Christopher trains his swordsmanship with his mighty stick, Luxstera, near the village. The danger and thrill of maybe getting caught by the towns people filled him will fear, excitement, and adrenaline. It pushes him to train harder and focus.

Christopher's goal is not only to become stronger but also better than Chris. To become stronger would help him hide his fear or better yet, completely destroy it.

It has been a week since he has seen his brothers.

*Flashback*

A weak ago Chris had returned from hunting with more meat than usual. Of course Toffer and Christopher questioned him because none of them were strong enough to fight that much animals but yet here was Chris. Chris showed them a number of abilities that he had started to develop after "The Birth", devil fruit abilities.

The brothers could not believe what Chris could do. It was something from a fairy tale brought to life. He showed them "Kurōn Kurōn no repeat" an ability that allowed Chris to create replicas of items which he has touched depended on how long he touched and focused on an item. He demonstrated by throwing a rock into the air. At first one rock, the original, fell then rocks began to rain down repeatedly.

Christopher and Toffer's mouth dropped. They were frozen where they stood. None knew they even had this amazing power. It started making each think about what else they could do.

He wasn't done there. He threw another rock into the air and yelled, "Kurōn Kurōn no grow". The original rock fell with a little tap on the ground. Next fell a boulder which cause a small crater on the ground in front of Toffer and Christopher.

"Wow Chris, that's amazing", said Toffer with the excitement of a little kid.

"It fell on my foot", said Christopher with a straight face.

"Sorry bro", replied Chris as he walked forward and put his hand on the big boulder.

"Kurōn Kurōn no shrink", said Chris.

The boulder turned into little rocks or more like its original size.

"Better", said Christopher with a straight face.

They went on for hours questioning Chris about what else he could do but it seemed he could only do what he showed them. As the brothers slept that night each dreamed of how to become stronger and improve themselves.

Christopher left before anyone could even wake up promising to return when he became stronger.

That same day Christopher went to train near the village.

*End flashback*

He picked up Luxstera where he left her and began training like regular. After a few minutes, his arms got tired and his fighting stance got sloppy. He got angry with himself not being strong enough to control his own weapon. He stuck Luxstera in the ground next to him and started doing push-ups.

He spent the whole day doing push-ups. He pushed through the pain and continued till sunset. There were many times where he almost collapsed from the pain on his small body but he just kept pushing. He felt his muscles tear and fix themselves. He just kept going and didn't even stop when he started coughing up blood. He just kept going not knowing what was happening inside him, the power he was unlocking.

The second day Christopher woke up laying face first in the ground in a pool of dried up sweat and blood. Christopher tried to get up with his hands but his hands were completely useless. He could not even feel the blood flowing through them. They were damaged but he didn't care much though. His mission was to become stronger, better than Chris.

Christopher got up with his legs and started to walk in search of food. He remembered a waterfall which had fruit trees near it. He started walking in that direction. The memory bothered Christopher as he walked though. It was one of Chris's memories. Christopher and Toffer had Chris's memories since for a long time they had none of their own.

Christopher walked and walked deeper into the forest until he found a waterfall. Just then the memory hit him like a bad headache. He remembered Chris's father taking Chris there when Chris was smaller. A tear fell down his eye and dropped into a little flower below him.

He tried to forget the memory. It wasn't even his but it hurt so much. He considered himself not Chris even though he came from Chris and looked like him.

Christopher walked through the water to wash away his tears. The water made him feel weak but for him it was another challenge that could not beat him. When the water got too deep he started to use his legs to paddle his way to a giant water lily under the waterfall. When Christopher got near he climbed onto the water lily.

Immediately he felt the burst of water and pressure smash down and break his arms. His spine was quickly turning into dust and his legs crumbled where he stood and soon fell on his knees.

His heart beat slowed down and with each passing moment disappeared. Meanwhile far away but not too far away in the forest Toffer started coughing up blood on the floor as his monkey companion tries to move his weak body. Even further Chris collapsed in the cave.

In his last moments Christopher saw the memory which he tried to push away moments ago. It filled him with anger. The anger pumped blood and fury though his body. His heart beat got faster. His blood started to rapidly pump. Anger rises him from death and made him stronger.

"Kurōn Kurōn no regen", yells Christopher.

He sit upright on the water lily. The broken bones which broke due to the strong water quickly healed. With his eyes closed and the rapid water pounding on his body, Christopher focused on that memory and his anger. His blood boiled and the water turned to steam as the water touched him.

Kurōn Kurōn no regen was now being unlocked. It is an ability that allowed the cells inside the user's body, tissue, and muscles to rapidly multiply/clone themselves which in turn heal damaged areas. It is an amazing ability that Christopher has only obtained a taste of.

Christopher fall into a deep slumber and when he woke five days had passed. He rises from the waterfall stronger. Steam exploded from his body. The water was so afraid to took his body that it curved around it now.

Christopher got up as every bone in his body cracked and healed themselves at the same time. Steam leaked from him even more and the water under him evaporates. He walked through the newly formed hole. The remaining water bubbles as he makes his way to land. When he emerged from the water there sits a frog on his head. He decided to leave it there since it caused no harm.

His muscles had been continuously ripped to nothing and repaired soon after for five days straight. Christopher fells like he has a new body, a better body, but it looked the same as before.

He decided to test out his new found strength with his arms which were broken before. He punched the tree next to him and it split in half dropping fruit. He picked some up and began to eat them. He is extremely hungry after his training.

"wow", he said with no emotion whatsoever," I gotta do better than that".

"Ribbit", said the frog on his head.

He decided to test out his legs next. He crouched down then springs up into a jump like a frog. He jumped so high he could see above the trees. The frog held onto Christopher's head for dear life.

"I can do better", he said while in the air.

"Ribbit", said the frog as they made their way back to the ground.

He was not satisfied with his now found strength. It was nothing compared to what Chris could do but then again he was not Chris. He could do so much better he thought to himself and pushed himself to do just so.

He decided he was now ready to return to Luxstera, now becoming a changed boy.
