Chapter 8 - Becoming One Of The Strongest Survivors

[Although you found it strange, you believed it's likely due to you not mastering it yet. Maybe it has other abilities that can only be unlocked if you become stronger or have better fairy fruit mastery.]

[Nevertheless, you were already satisfied, as it's still an ability that can be used for combat. If this simulation went well, then you can bring this power back to the real world.]

[You haven't forgotten that there are still zombies to deal with in the real world. Your simulation talents weren't even combat-based, so having the fairy fruit for combat was a must.]

[With that in mind, you decided to try out your fairy fruit's abilities in action.]

[Extending your hand in front of you, metal chains appeared out of thin air and slithered around your right arm like snakes.]

[Under your mental control, the metal chains increased their length and wrapped around the tree branch. With a tug, you retracted the chains and made it pull you upwards, causing you to hang below the tree branch.]

[To step it a notch, you let chains sprout from your back. Thick chains formed eight spider-like appendages, and using it, you lifted yourself in the air, with the ten-meter tall chains supporting your weight.]

[Controlling the metal chains, which acted like spider legs, you used them to travel around the island. Since you were ten meters above the ground, you had a great view of the island from above and could see wild boars as well as snakes.]

[Fortunately, you were lucky enough not to encounter them when finding your Fairy Fruit, or else you would have been forced to fight them.]

[As you scuttled around the island, you decided to hunt those wild boars. Normally, you wouldn't need their meat as you can easily create the finished cooked product using Unlimited Food Creation (Gold).]

[However, today was an exception as you needed a live target. Anyway, you don't plan to waste it as you can just put up boar meat for trading.]

[Snapping your fingers, chains appeared from the ground and bound those wild boars, causing them to squeal.]

[While those metal chains bound them in place, you created more as they sprout from the ground, but with pointed spearhead-like tips this time.]

[Controlling those sharp-tipped chains, you let it penetrate the thick hide of those boars. Like serpents, those chains slithered inside them, until the sharp tip found their heart and pierced it.]

[In just a moment, those wild boars died as blood oozed out from their carcasses.]

[With a pulling hand motion, you controlled the chains, letting them take out the hearts of those boars.]

["Huh, chains are better weapons than I expected them to be. It also helped that Fairy Fruit abilities feel instinctive and innate to use, so it feels like I'm controlling an extra body part that's been part of me rather than something foreign."]

[After testing out your Metal Chain Fairy Fruit, you were satisfied with it as it greatly improved your combat power.]

[Before, you were quite worried about possessing a lot of resources as wealth without power will only make you a fat sheep to those survivors with Fairy Fruits.]

[Now, you can finally claim to be one of the strongest survivors in this Global Ocean Survival World.]

["With a fairy fruit in hand, I no longer have to worry about most sea creatures except for those truly powerful ones. According to the survivors in the chat group, those who had eaten fairy fruits were starting to farm sea creatures for their loot."]

["Those with fairy fruits even created an alliance in case they need to deal with certain sea creatures. Some sea creatures are powerful and large enough that even one survivor with a fairy fruit would be helpless against them, enough to be called a sea monster."]

[As the number one survivor who monopolized the food industry, you were also part of that alliance, but you only became their official trading partner.]

[You didn't participate in anything aside from trading the materials they obtained from sea creatures for proper food from you.]

[On the other hand, King King is one of the leaders of that alliance, as not only was he a powerful fairy fruit user, but he also was the survivor who monopolized information due to his information-based talent.]

[You rarely chatted with other members and leaders of that alliance and mostly had King King act as a middleman as you couldn't be bothered at that time due to focusing on finding your Fairy Fruit.]

[But now that you obtained the Metal Chain Fairy Fruit, you can start becoming more active in matters regarding survivors.]

["Although I can use my Metal Chains Fairy Fruit instinctively, I still haven't truly mastered it. Fighting with sea monsters and improving my proficiency on fairy fruit ability is a must."]

[Just like how a person was born to instinctively and innately know how to breathe, it doesn't mean they have mastered it. Others can hold their breath longer underwater, yet most people couldn't last for more than three minutes.]

[You decided to invest time in improving your fruit ability mastery. In that case, when you bring this power to the real world, your application of it in combat won't be holding you back due to lack of experience and mastery.]

[After already gaining a fairy fruit, you were curious if this world also has another unique product or power system aside from it.]

[So, deciding to abuse your Absolute Compass (Orange) talent, you summoned it on your left hand and commanded, "Find me the nearest location where I can obtain the method to acquire a power in this world aside from fairy fruits."]
