A Job-Hopping Diary

March 19, 1508.

√,√,√,√.

I've been a member of the Red-Hair Pirates for a week now, and I'm basically familiar with all the main officers on the ship.

Captain Shanks, Fly-Fly Person with the Fly-Fly Fruit, is also extremely skilled in Swordsmanship. In Swordsmanship alone, he only loses to Mihawk by half a move. Moreover, not only does he possess Devil Fruit ability, but even his sword has Devil Fruit ability. He is a future Four Emperors...

He has a carefree personality, but he also has many secrets. He should have noticed that I always use Observation Haki to observe him, but his attitude towards me... I feel like he has misunderstood a lot of things.

First Captain Beckman is skilled in Haki, and is proficient in both Armament Haki and Observation Haki. He is suspected of possessing Conqueror's Haki —after all, he was the strongest Four Emperors's first Captain twelve or thirteen years later in the original work, and was even regarded as the number two "comparable" to Shanks in SBS. However, what I see now is more of his Armament Haki.

Whether it's close-quarters Gun-fighting techniques or long-range Armament Haki air shooting, it excels in both close and long-range combat.

Sailor Lucky Roo is skilled in "Life Return," which allows him to accumulate life energy in the form of "fat." He compresses the fat, causing it to expand during battle. Moreover, once the fat is burned, it unleashes terrifying power—the latter is something I heard from Morio, but I haven't witnessed it firsthand. When he raided the Marines before, he didn't burn any fat at all.

Sniper Yasopp is skilled in long-range sniping, and his Observation Haki is terrifying. In a firefight at 100 meters, even Beckman would be no match for him—that's what Morio told me.

Head Chef White usually wears a beret and Black Gloves —he only takes them off in the kitchen. He Paramecia Alchemy Fruit user, a natural alchemist, and can alter the form of matter by clasping his hands together. However, he uses this ability more for cooking. Morio says he rarely uses it in combat.

First Sailor and half-baked Ship Doctor Snake is a master of Martial Arts and the successor of Dragon Fist. His fist techniques are very distinctive, and he is also highly skilled in cultivating his will. He can be described as having Martial Arts as his bones and Swordsmanship as his soul. Morio has seen him unleash a thirty-meter-long dragon shadow.

However, in terms of medical skills, they rely entirely on "massage," and the Red-Hair Ship is currently a bit "short of milk"... Of course, this is also what Morio said.

The swordsman Gennosuke is skilled in Swordsmanship and is suspected to be from Wano Country —this is my judgment based on his hairstyle, not what Morio said.

Helmsman Morio is a Zoan- Zoan Devil Fruit user (Satama-Satama Fruit) in Silverback Masira form. His partner, the monkey Ooo, is a Zoan -type Devil Fruit user (Human- Human-Human Fruit) in the Longarm Tribe form... At first glance, Morio seems a bit shy, even timid. However, once you get to know him, he becomes quite talkative. His fighting style is still unclear.

I've been a member of the Red-Hair Pirates for a while now, and out of habit, I still sleep in a hammock on the deck every night. This morning, I Awakening in my hammock to find Shanks squatting in front of it with a big smile, looking down at me...

That really startled me!

After all, I wouldn't normally be unaware of this distance.

Shanks, in high spirits, said to me, "Finally, I can defend against your Observation Haki..."

Sure enough, this guy had been subtly aware of something all along, and... in the past two weeks, he actually figured out how to block it!

Since Shanks can detect my Observation Haki and even "block" it himself, it naturally limits my ability to use Observation Haki on my companions.

To paraphrase Shanks, even if I'm trying to help someone resolve their psychological issues, it's best not to pry into their privacy, especially as a companion. What's more important is a connection of minds, not relying on Observation Haki. Otherwise, you'll end up like Redfield sooner or later.

At that moment, I finally learned who Redfield was...

Although I haven't specifically looked into it, I know that it's a boss from a certain One Piece game.

Shanks gave me his example—because Redfield possessed Observation Haki, which allowed him to read memories, he couldn't trust anyone and always traveled the seas alone.

Well, I'm not familiar with Redfield, but I do know Pudding from the original work—the ability to read people's minds often undermines one's ability to trust others.

It's been almost a month since I boarded the ship, and I've gotten to know the crew members' situation and mental state quite well.

These guys aren't as sentimental as the young ladies and passionate young people in the Sun Pirates; they're practically the opposite extreme—each one has their own story, but they're all incredibly strong-willed, leaving little room for "medical" intervention.

However, I still often chat with them. Firstly, it helps me quickly build rapport, and secondly, everyone has psychological issues that need to be addressed. For example, Yasopp's guilt towards his wife and children, Lucky Roo's trauma from the famine he experienced as a child, Morio's struggles to adapt to human life after being abandoned in the primeval forest as an infant...

Shanks told me not to rely on Observation Haki to communicate with my companions, and I have indeed toned it down.

Of course, as a "Psychiatrist," I feel that "losing the ability to build trust with others because of knowing too much" is a hurdle I must overcome, and may even be a key part of my role!

I should face this directly, not avoid it.

However, since the Captain has already said so, I rarely use Observation Haki on the ship now, relying instead on observing micro-expressions with my naked eye...

For nearly a month, we have been sailing from island to island in the East China Sea.

As Navigator, my "internship" is over. Unfortunately, in the East Blue, I couldn't really demonstrate much of my ability as a "Seafarer." But now I'm considered an important member of the Red-Hair Pirates.

Today, Shanks finally told us... or rather, told me about our "final" destination—the other executives already knew, so it wasn't exactly a cover-up, they just hadn't specifically explained it to me before.

Next stop, we'll head to Dawn Island...

Dawn Island is also known by another name. As a rare large island, it is home to the powerful Kingdom of Kingdom of Goa, known as the most beautiful country in the East China Sea. Therefore, it is also called Goa Island!

As expected, this was the final destination.

As for the reasons for going to the Kingdom of Goa, Shanks told me two.

Firstly, when Shanks defeated Redfield and encountered Garp, Shanks actually "flew" to Garp's warship and "negotiated" with him. The price for letting the Red-Hair Pirates go was that Garp wanted Red-Hair to come here to stop the internal strife that Garp had learned about in the Kingdom of Goa.

Secondly, when Shanks defeated Redfield, he learned about the fruit Redfield was so desperately looking for, and the clues pointed to it being "near" Dawn Island...

Furthermore, I sensed that Shanks was concealing other motives—not directed at me, and the other executives only knew these two points.

Dongdong: The crew's abilities are purely made up, and there's no clue whatsoever.
