» It has been two months since we settled in the Golden City of Shandora. We have not stepped a foot out of this place ever since and have been training here.
» I still have not started using weights for my exercise. I train to increase my stamina and speed by running, skipping, etc. This entire city is used to train Parkour.
» I also thought of other things to train my body, so I started to dance and shadowboxing, to loosen the muscles and increase flexibility. There are a large number of music and details about them on the watch.
» Surprisingly, all the details on the watch have been translated into this world's language; It converted even the songs' language.
» As for my student, Scyther; I tied as many weights that his body can carry and trained him using the knowledge from the watch. He even molted one time because of his growth and became slightly bigger, as well as recovering from his previous injuries.
» One important thing is, while I was reading the Logbook, I found an anomaly, the name of Scyther. I found this name is the character in an anime, watched by 'Past me'. But the 'ME' that named Scyther must not remember that anime; Despite that, 'I' came up with the name 'Scyther'.
» So I concluded that even though I forget things, whatever I learn or train is stored somewhere in my brain and reappears as creativity or a spark of inspiration.
» I also guess it is the reason for the change in my personality, many things in the log mentioned things I would not do in my past life, like pranking the KIDS in the orphanage or trying to finish things to look cool or awesome but failing miserably every time.
» I have an adult mind, OK! So why the hell did I do those silly things? It makes little sense, and I won't fail to do things awesomely. I will do it perfectly, Hmph!
» So I conclude that as I learn new things, my personality changes slightly. If I want to survive, I must focus on training my muscle memory and watch/learn different things that can reappear in the form of creativity or a spark of inspiration.
» As for the hidden things in my body, except for previously found things like underwater breathing, Night vision, High flexibility, smell, hearing, taste, fireproof, and more strength.
» I guessed maybe I can also do electro, even though I only have fur on my tail. Shit! when I list it like this, I suddenly feel overpowered; no wonder the price for this body is heavy.
» I have not looked directly at the moon yet, to find if I have a Sulong form since it will be dangerous if I really transformed and rampaged and nobody here is powerful enough to stop me.
» Since I have successfully controlled my claws and teeth using half-assed bio-feedback, I have tried it on wings and tails, but so far there has been no success.
»The wings can't be used to fly, and they only can maintain balance mid-air while jumping during Parkour. I can only control the tail sometimes. Other times, it is uncontrollable, as always.

"Haa! It's been months since I went out," I muttered, closing the Logbook, and then looking at Scyther training in a distance.
"I have an urge to get into the water," I frowned, thinking it's been a long time since I had a swim, "Is it because of part Fishman?" I concluded after thinking.
"Anyway, I'm going out now," I muttered eagerly and started packing my backpack with the necessary things. Then I wore my mask and bandana, finally getting ready.
After that, I called Scyther, who was training and then arrived at the rope falling from the hole we had made while entering the city. "Ok Scyther, take me up," I instructed Scyther, who flew carrying me in his legs and entered the hole, landing on the stairs I cut.
We climbed the stairs and reached the ruined building, which was still secure when we arrived. We heard some human voices outside the building. "It looks like the security is high since God is back," I whispered to Scyther, whose body was shaking.
'Humans?' Scyther thought 'They are just behind the wall, he thought, shaking in fear. 'I will die if I go out.' he thought dreadfully.
'See, how he is shaking in excitement to fight humans,' I thought, looking proudly at my student. 'He is eager to become Strong quickly' I thought.
Then I gestured for Scyther to be silent then I removed all the weights on him as he looked surprised. 'He removed the things that are preventing me from escaping?' he thought, surprised. 'I am free?' he realized, forgetting about his fear of humans outside.
I looked at the excited Scyther 'Let's see how fast he is after taking the weights, I thought, then got out of the building.
Before I could take another step, a flash of green rushed toward the forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye. "What the...?" I watched dumbfound at the back of the Scyther, who vanished into the forest.
'Maybe he cannot control his body without weight,' I consoled myself at the Scyther, abandoning me. I slowly sneaked out of that place. It was difficult for me because of the guards patrolling around.
It took me an hour to get out of there without getting noticed. After getting away from Giant Jack, I started running in the forest. It took some time to re-train parkour in this forest.
Sometimes after I entered the forest, I saw grasshoppers jumping above me. "Ah! That's a Grasshopper. Did they also attack me that day?" I wondered, following them.
It turns out to be very difficult since they are jumping from one tree to another. "Humph!, After I strengthen my tail, I will use it as a spring to jump high," I vowed at this stupid idea and went on my way.
I explored the island on my way to the destination. I even saw some Shandians roaming with weapons. "Oh! The war is still taking place. Let's think about it later," I muttered, looking at them while running.
I finally reached the island's edge, where I found Scyther, who was panting hard. 'I finally escaped from his daily torture, but I ran into many humans on the way' Scyther shuddered thinking about his run-in with humans earlier. 'What should I do now? Get back to Grandpa?' Scyther thought about his next plan.
"Ahh! Scyther, you are waiting for me!?" I exclaimed at Scyther, who suddenly stiffened. 'How did he find me? After I ran far away from him?' Scyther dreadfully turned to see me.
'It seems I can't escape from him.' he looked dispirited. "Don't worry Scyther, I will return after a month or two, I will find you then, Ok?" I comforted Scyther who is dispirited about leaving him behind.
'What! He is leaving?' Scyther looked at me in surprise. 'Am I going to be free from his daily torture?' Scyther thought happily.
"Get rest. For now, it is going to be hell after I return," I advised Scyther, who widened his eyes in horror and signed in protest.
I didn't bother to look at his signs. "Don't worry, I know how to take care of myself," I assuredly patted my chest at Scyther's worry.
Suddenly a «BEEP» sound was heard as Scyther sighed even more in defeat.
"Where Am I?" I muttered, looking around. "Ahh! You look somewhat familiar?" I questioned after spotting Scyther, since my instinct showed that he was not dangerous.
'Now I can't escape even after his memory loss.' Scyther sighed, then pointed at my watch.
I looked at my blinking bracelet and read the details on it.

«REMINDER NOTE »
» Phew, You FINALLY found the watch, at last. It seems the blink setting is working fine. Don't worry, it will only be visible when you look directly at it and won't attract others' attention if seen from a distance. I will clear your other doubts now.
» All of this is written by YOU..., What! you can't recall it? That's because You have short-term memory loss. This Note is a backup prepared by 'You' for you.
» Do you know where you are? You must have already said the annoying 'Where Am I?'. That sentence can be used as a Title if this is written as a story... Psh!... let's not think about it... where are we now? Yeah, your situation, You are in One Piece World. Yeah..., THAT One Piece you are thinking of now.
» You can explore on your own or read this note fully. From here on, you are alone! And update the Note if you are alive. Good Luck. p.S. Read the Log Book to know more details.

"Oh! Ok, I now know what is happening," I exclaimed after understanding the situation.
"I know how to take care of me," I assured Scyther again as he looked deadpan at me.'Didn't you just say this earlier?' he thought.
"Don't worry, we still have a kingdom to rebel," I assured him with a smirk as he face-palm…-err..-legged himself.
"See ya'," I waved, securing my bag, then jumped into the sea to have a swim after a long time.
I enjoyed my swim in the sea. Other than some things that tried to eat me, everything was fine, well, except for the low water density. I reached the familiar Angel beach after a while, and then I got out of the water and dried my dress.
I walked along the beach, avoiding the people there. The people became sparse as I traveled along the beach. When there was no one around, I reached a familiar area. Before I could look around carefully, I got knocked down by a white figure and my face got wet with something.
"Gah! What the...? Get off you ghost," I shouted with panic/anger in my voice.
"Oh! Su, what are you doing? Get off of him," a panicked voice cried from the distance as I heard a footstep nearing me.
I felt the weight on my body was lifted and I found it was a cloud fox, so... "Ew! Is it your saliva on my face?" I disgustedly looked at the fox. "Give me your tail, you the cotton ball," I demanded the fox to use it to wipe my face.
I pounced on Su, who evaded quickly crying "Su" smugly at me. I became annoyed. "You are so dead," I yelled, then started chasing it on the beach, ignoring the dumbfound figure standing there. Then Su ran towards that person and hid behind their legs. I started circling the figure to catch the fox.
Finally, I got hold of Su. I grinned at the fox.'What are you going to do now?' as the fox struggled to escape from me.
I grinned evilly and was about to wipe my face with the tail before a handkerchief blocked me, along with a voice. "Please forgive me for Su's behavior. You can use this to wipe it," a voice pleaded fearfully.
I finally looked at the owner of the voice, who was a girl about six years old with blond hair and two antennas on her head. "Er- it's okay, I'm not angry. It's only for fun," I comforted her as she looked, afraid so I took the kerchief and cleaned my face.
"Have we met before today?" I asked them, confused, since they looked familiar. She declined nervously, but Su nodded his head, positively shouting "Su".
"So we really met before, huh? When did we meet?" I questioned Su, who suddenly became nervous, looking at the girl.
"Heso! I'm Conis. Please forgive me if Su bothered you before," Conis apologized, misunderstanding Su's look.
I was about to reply before my eyes widened in realization. "What! you are Conis and this is Su!" I shouted in bewilderment, finally discovering their familiarity.
Conis nodded her head in confusion. "Ugh…." I face-palmed, 'Why did I realize this so late? Just because they are small, I thought speechlessly.
"Um... Did you want to ask something?" Conis asked nervously at my sudden silence. "Well, forget it, it's not anything important." I waved dismissively.
"So do you know who I am?" I asked her and she suddenly looked nervous.
"Well, you have black wing so…" Conis whispered, biting her lips nervously, obviously knowing something about me.
After seeing that I didn't get angry, she continued, "I heard a lot about you from others," she explained in awe, recalling what she had heard about.
"Especially what you did on the day you disappeared," she nervously explained. 'What did I do that day?' I looked cluelessly at her.
"Many thought you were dead." Conis looked skeptical as her nervousness disappeared.
"But Su was adamant that you are alive," Conis revealed as we looked at the fox, who was looking proud.
"Now I know why Su is adamant and came one day with some traces of paint on her," Conis muttered, side-eyeing the fox.
"Whatever happened that day I forgot about it, so only Su will know what happened," I explained to Conis, looking at Su.
"No, no, I didn't blame you for anything." Conis looked flustered, waving her hands in a panic, thinking I had misunderstood.
"You don't need to be afraid of me." I chuckled at her behavior.
"I'm not going to hurt you. Besides, you are several years older than me." I pointed to Conis, who scratched her head sheepishly.
"It's just I heard many scary stories about you," she mumbled, ashamed.
"Since Su likes you, I will trust you for now," Conis proclaimed without any previous fear.
"So why did you come here? I can help you if you need to find anything," Conis asked me with expectation.
"Ah! Your dad is a Dial engineer, right?" I inquired Conis, who nodded her head.
"So I came here to learn about Dials from him," I revealed as Conis looked surprised.
"I don't know," Conis replied uncertainly. "You should ask my dad but he will probably accept it," Conis assured nervously fiddling with her fingers thinking something.
"Well, don't worry, I will discuss it with your father first," I assured her.
"So, can you take me to him now?" I asked her, bringing her out of her thoughts.
"Father has gone to work, but you can wait at my house," Conis cheerfully replied and started walking.
"Follow me," she called, leading me towards her house.
"You know you should not bring any random people to your house," I emphasized, following her.
"Well, you are not random, since Su knows you." Conis smiled, sticking her tongue out without her previous nervousness.
"But you should be careful in the future, especially if a person has swirly eyebrows," I warned her, snickering about the scene of Sanji meeting her.
She looked confused. "What? Swirly brows?" Conis asked in confusion. "Well, you will know when you see one," I replied, vaguely suppressing my snicker.
"Umm…! How do I address you? I have not heard of your name," Conis asked nervously, and Su also looked at me in expectation. I stopped walking and looked at her with wide eyes.
'Welp! I forgot my original name, so what name should I use?' I thought silently.
"If you don't want to say it's fine," Conis waved after she looked at my silent form.
"No! it's okay, you are the first person to even ask my name," I explained, calming her down.
"So, what are the names they call me?" I asked her curiously, as she looked uncomfortable.
"It's fine, you can say. Besides, I will forget about it anyway," I assured her.
"There are many names you got after your… you know," she gestured, mentioning the day I left here.
"Some call that day 'one-day disaster' or widely known as 'Devil's Day'," Conis revealed, giggling, remembering the things I have done.
"So many still call you a 'Devil'," Conis whispered after calming down.
"Oh! They call me Devil? huh!?" I smirked, thinking about it, and then suddenly thought of a name.
"I know." I snapped my fingers excitedly, coming up with a name. "If you guys with white wings are angels," I dramatically pointed at Conis.
"Then I with black wings is a Fallen Angel," I proclaimed, climbing on a dune-shaped cloud on the beach.
I stood on its top with wings slightly spread, inhaling deeply then, "So my name is Lucifer," I declared, hands on my hips. I was posing coolly, but suddenly water shot from the ocean, drenching me.
I looked dumbly at my soaked body.'Stupid God is dead set on ruining my moment,' I cursed mentally.
