Chapter 12 - Increasing the Gravity:

The ship if left as is while Ian is using his power, would break from the waves since he was sailing at a very fast speed. Therefore he used his powers to make a shield around it.

Since he was sailing to enjoy the journey, he thought about getting a new ship once again, and also when will he have some companions on this journey.

He was sitting on the deck chair sipping on a glass of wine and enjoying the wind, while thinking about stuff.

First it was to get a new ship. Getting a huge sized ship didn't matter for him, all that mattered was that it had enough space and was sturdy enough.

Second on his thoughts was how his abilities work. As after his strengthening, he received new information or memories this time in his mind.

It was some memories of him in very a dark space all around. He got the feeling that he was trapped in that place for a very long time. And it apparently was the reason for his mind powers. It strengthened his mind and will. But someday there happened a change. A mysterious entity gave a bit of its energy which blended with his soul, then it led him to here.

Leading to him getting his second power.

It was about evolution. That energy in him was set with the purpose to better his body and bloodline. It didn't need to be blood he added, it could also be a Hair. Granted he would stick with blood what with it being the easiest and less disgusting then the rest and all. Especially since the blood get turned to energy which is then used for the betterment of his body.

What he was thinking about though. Was the source of said energy, its owner was after all the one responsible for his reincarnation, and this power he has. Since it brought him to this world it must be extremely strong. But it did not give him any purpose or mission to do, to which he was thankful as he didn't want anybody to control him.

Shaking the thoughts out of his mind, he got up and took his shirt off. Then started training his abilities.

After all they were now all more powerful.

The one he found up ended up becoming more stronger than the rest was, how he could now increase the gravity around a place instead of just increasing the pressure around it like he could do before. But it was limited of course to his current powers.

However once he used it on himself, he could feel his muscles straining while just standing there. He grinned as this meant that he could train under it until he could adapt to it and then when he get stronger and by effect the gravity would too, he could train again.

It was also a good means of attack.

Since his body was already stronger than normal, lifting weights would be extremely easy for him, even if the weights were made of a special metal from his father's island.

But under this gravity it would do the job. Which is to bring him to his top condition.

........

Days went along and now it was a week since he departed little garden. Along the way he finally knew the reason why a navigator like Nami was needed in a ship. Huge unpredictable cyclones would suddenly appear forcing him to use his powers to change direction. Of course he would not need one due to his powers. he could easily just move the ship away.

And now he was already attuned to his new strength. And the gravity right now would feel easy for him. But when not under it he would feel lighter and feel much faster.

He had already been as fast as Kizaru when using 'shave', but now he knew that he was physically near being as fast as he is. If he used shave now he should be faster. He would have to wait and see. However he had a guess that Kizaru had awakened his fruit. Meaning he could probably reach the speed of light. Something Ian was still very far from reaching. But his observation Haki which was strengthened too could serve to counter that.

In the distance Ian could see the Sandy Island. Where the

Alabasta Kingdom- A desert Kingdom- was located. Alabasta is an established kingdom with a long history and is one of the twenty founding countries of the World Government, and Sandy Island is a Summer Island.

Its history predates 500 hundred years before the void century. As supplied by Robin.

Of course he didn't come here to search for Pluton or anything. He was just enjoying his journey. And he will not interfere in the story too much. Not now at least.

Since most of Alabasta was now in poor condition, he opted to just go to rain base directly by flying along the river. of course while hiding his presence.
