Field Rotation, Success!

"Ugh! Time for a break, time for a break!"

"That's enough work for today!" Despite his lazy words, his body was honest; the moment he sat down, he immediately began his meditative training.

For Gray at this moment, he had no right to rest; everything had to serve his training.

As a lazy modern man, the only reason he was training so desperately was because of a profound sense of crisis.

Knowing the truth of this world, the mere thought of those world-shattering powerhouses, combined with the darkness of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, made him feel that his life was under heavy threat.

It was precisely because his life was threatened that he found the motivation to train so hard.

Otherwise, as an ordinary modern man, how could he ever have the drive to train?

One had to remember that back on Blue Star, he had once bought a treadmill, only for it to gather dust in the corner after a week of novelty.

After half an hour of meditation, Gray gave up!

Although there was progress in this session, it was minimal.

The restless mind of a modern person, always wanting quick results, made his meditation fraught with difficulties.

"Forget it! I might as well do what I enjoy and continue developing Field Rotation!"

Closing his eyes again, Gray assumed this time would be like all the others, yielding absolutely no results.

But soon~

"What is this?" He opened his eyes again and looked around, but to his naked eyes, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Suddenly, struck by a thought, Gray closed his eyes again. In his black-and-white vision, he saw it!

"Is this... the 'Field'?" For some unknown reason, the term appeared in Gray's mind.

He could see various fields between heaven and earth; the closer a 'field' was to him, the clearer it appeared.

Conversely, the further away, the blurrier it became.

The only reason Gray could see this was because the will of the Spin-Spin Fruit was cooperating fully; if he had to wait until he awakened Observation Haki to truly see the 'field,' it would have taken much longer.

"Since I can see it, then... I should be able to make it rotate, right?" His body acted faster than his brain. As he spoke, Gray had already used his fruit ability to make the field surrounding him begin to rotate.

"Ugh... is the initial rotation always this difficult?" With the stationary 'field' being forced into motion, Gray felt like he was cranking a hand-started tractor; it was always hardest at the very beginning.

Fortunately, once it started spinning, the inertia of the rotation made it much less physically demanding.

The speed of the rotation increased, and his body began to feel that something was wrong. Gray hurriedly used his fruit ability to stop the field from spinning: "Hey, hey, hey! Stop, stop, hurry up and stop!"

As the field rotated, a heavy gravitational force acted upon Gray.

The faster the rotation, the heavier the gravity; this was what his body was telling him.

His small body could not withstand such intense gravity. If he were to injure himself further because of this, Gray felt he would die of embarrassment.

Once the field rotation ceased, Gray let out a sigh of relief and began to summarize: "Gravity?"

"This makes training much simpler!" Regarding the application of gravity, the first thing that came to Gray's mind was the training effect.

As for using it against enemies, Gray felt it might not be worth the cost; after all, he wasn't a gravity-fruit user like Fujitora.

"Continue!"

"Just now, it was a clockwise rotation, which increased the gravitational pull and created a gravity effect."

"Then... a counter-clockwise rotation should be able to make me float, right!"

"However, I have to take it slow this time. If I fly too high and fall, I'm done for!"

Using his fruit ability, he rotated his personal field. Once it began to spin, the planet's gravitational pull on Gray was canceled out, and he began to float slowly upward.

"Whoa!" Gray let out an excited cry. No boy could resist the realization of such a fantasy superpower.

What's more, this was flight—something humanity had dreamed of for ages.

Since ancient times, humanity had held a unique yearning for the blue sky; that was exactly why airplanes were invented.

The beauty of being able to fly without tools was something Gray found hard to describe in detail.

After floating for a while, Gray discovered a problem: "Just floating isn't enough!"

The counter-clockwise rotation only canceled out his own gravitational pull; it didn't allow him to control his direction or truly fly.

"No, no! I must have gotten a step wrong!" Slowly canceling the rotation of the field, Gray landed safely. He rubbed his chin and began to ponder whether he had missed a step.

"For the Spin-Spin Fruit, if you want an object to rotate simply and quickly, the first thing that comes to mind is a circle. Only a circle is the most suitable and convenient rotating body."

"Moreover, the field itself is a circle. The field acting on myself should also be a 360° circular field!"

"Then... I shouldn't just be thinking about clockwise and counter-clockwise modes."

"The entire 360° range, no matter the direction, can serve as a starting point for rotation."

With this line of thought, Gray instantly clarified the direction for developing his flight.

"Flight, at the end of the day, is force originating from the feet. By using the heel as the point of force, I can not only cancel out gravity to float but also propel myself to take off at an angle."

"And this... is repulsion. Clockwise rotation increases gravity, while counter-clockwise rotation creates repulsion."

"By using repulsion around my body to adjust direction, I can achieve true flight." Thinking and acting at once, a fired-up Gray ignored the inherent dangers.

"Field Rotation!" He began by rotating from the soles of his feet, generating a repulsive force that lifted him into the air.

After rising two meters off the ground, he shifted the point of force to his heels, causing his body to not only move forward but also gain altitude.

Once he reached the roof of the two-story building, Gray maintained his current rotation speed, ensuring it neither accelerated nor slowed down.

"Now, the difficult part begins!"

"Whether I can master free flight depends on this."

He shifted the point of force for the Field Rotation from the soles of his feet to the back of his thighs; this was the control point for both hovering and direction.

As he gradually spun his personal force field, his body began to slowly drift forward.

"Excellent!" Clenching his fists to cheer himself on, Gray shifted the point of force once more.

The force point moved from his thighs to his left side, and his body followed suit, shifting toward the right.

"Moving the force to the right shifts me left, and moving it to the left shifts me right—this is how I control lateral movement."

"Correspondingly, forward and backward movement should naturally work in the opposite way."

No matter how he changed the point of rotation, to balance hovering and flight, the force point had to remain below his waist.

Only in this way could a Spin-Spin Fruit user achieve flight.

Slowly, step by step, adjusting from slow to fast, Gray became familiar with the flight mode within half an hour.

"Whoo-hoo!" Gray flew happily above the rooftops, soaring over various courtyards and shouting with joy, a testament to his surging excitement.
