One Piece: I Just Want A Family

Ephon Jarilo

Hiding In the Calm Belts is a forested island that is embraced by tranquil waters, creating a serene oasis where verdant trees of immense stature stand proudly. 

Their canopies intertwine to form a lush, emerald roof that filters the sunlight into dappled patterns on the forest floor. Towering trunks, adorned with moss and vines, create a cathedral-like ambiance. 

Amidst this natural haven, an abundance of fruit-bearing trees, their branches heavy with a variety of exotic fruits, offer a tantalizing display of colors. The air is perfumed with the sweet fragrance of ripening fruits, making this island a bountiful and picturesque retreat.

At the edge of the forested island, filled with giant trees, standing on top of one of the tallest trees, was a boy that looked to be about 15 or 16 years old seemingly meditating. He was about 6 feet tall, with neck long black hair, bronze brown skin, and black eyes wearing a long white robe.

"I can't believe it's been 10 years, but I think I should be able to leave now" The figure was of course Ephon, although he was only 10 years old he was already 6 feet tall. He could only attribute this to his special physique and the fact that he was in the world of One Piece, a world filled with giants.

Ephon was deep in thought thinking about his progress for the past 10 years since his arrival.

Although he awakened Observation Haki during his first year on the island when he depended on the trees to provide for him, his observation Haki only allowed him to tell whether a living thing has good intentions towards him, so he had to train it to expand more until recently it could cover this entire island

Of course Observation Haki isn't the only thing he trained during this time, he still remembered Void saying that his body has the potential to become the number one physique in the One Piece world, so of course I trained it.

During that time he discovered that this island has four kings that keep the ecosystem in check, Tiger, Bear, Water Crock and Gorilla. He wasn't too worried though, because he had the advantage over them not only because of his monster physique, but because manipulating trees that already exist consumes less energy than creating them which was perfect for him at the time.

At first he needed to manipulate the trees until his physique got strong enough to fight creating his own wood and trees, he also realized that the more energy he consumed, the stronger the wood he created became, but his goal was always Armament Haki. 

So two years ago he started fighting the four kings without using his ability, and for the first couple of months he bled countless times but thanks to his perverted level healing, he came back the next day from bone fracture level injuries fully healed.

And this year he finally grasped Armament Haki at the proficient level where he can only cover his arms, and small parts of his body with.

'Shhh'

After retracting the Haki that had appeared on his hands, Ephon jumped down directly from the top of the tree. As he neared the ground countless trees grew from under his feet towards his landing position to soften his landing. This is one of the many tricks he had created in the past ten years.

While not fighting the four kings he would try to manipulate his wood release to create things, and he learned a lot of tricks this way, he even came up with the theory that he can replicate any plant life he has seen, but he hasn't made any progress on it.

While exploring the island from time to time, he found a shipwreck about three years ago, he guessed that the ship belonged to merchants, because there wasn't a pirate flag and the goods didn't seem to be things a pirate ship would carry, like silk robes of different size and color, log pose, a map of the four sea and Grand Line, even swords, and it was in this shipwreck that Ephon got his white robe that he was currently wearing.
