One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 2 Lost
Matsurize is no longer obsessed with the origin of his brand-new body. He now has a top priority, which is to fill his stomach.

He was so hungry that he could hardly stand still.

On the beach where he is now, there is a dense forest behind him.

Just when he didn't know where to look for food, he saw a few curls of cooking smoke behind the woods.

Matsurize was very excited. If he guessed correctly, it should be the smoke from someone cooking!

This is so gratifying, it means that this place is not uninhabited, it is not a desperate situation, after all, human beings live in groups, and he has been here alone for half a day, if he has been like this all his life, then he is not crazy!

At this moment, I already feel a little lonely. If I can't see other people here, no one can guarantee whether he will go crazy!
He cautiously walked towards the direction of the cooking smoke.

Before stepping into this dense forest, he firmly remembered the direction of the smoke, so as not to lose sight of the smoke after entering, and thus get lost.

It would be too shameful to be the first traverser to starve to death!
Matsurize is not very sure that he can successfully pass through this dense forest and reach the location of the smoke.

But he was too hungry, he couldn't linger here on the beach anymore, he had to do something.

Originally, at the beginning, he was still thinking about going into the sea to catch some sea fish to eat, not to mention that he overestimated his own ability, but after he saw the bull-headed sea beast, he gave up this idea.

In fact, on the other hand, the bull-headed sea beast also saved his life.

His original idea was actually to look for food in the sea. You must know that he, a person who has never been in contact with the sea, went to the sea to look for food, not to mention whether he could find food. If he was not careful, he might die there.

You must know that Matsurizawa knew a little bit of breaststroke swimming skills in the indoor swimming pool in his previous life. It is really whimsical for him to forage for food in the sea with such meager swimming skills.

So from this aspect, the bull-headed sea beast actually saved Matsurize's life and made him dispel this naive idea.

With apprehension in mind, Matsurize walked firmly in this dense forest.

This road is really too hungry, and some wild fruits are hanging on some trees along the way.

According to previous life experience, brightly colored wild fruits are likely to be poisonous, so he could only choose some long, simple and harmless wild fruits to satisfy his hunger temporarily.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad, he didn't plant on the poisonous wild fruit, and his hunger was relieved for the time being.

After wandering around in this dense forest for a while, he discovered a fact. Before he entered the dense forest, he was worried about whether he would get lost, but now he successfully realized this worry.

Getting lost is actually quite normal. He has never had experience in wild survival. Getting lost in such a large dense forest is quite normal.

Now Matsurize can only try his luck. He hopes to get out of here and find the location of the smoke before dark.

He still knows some common sense. In such a large dense forest, if it gets dark, some kind of wild beasts may come out to move around.

In addition to the bull-headed sea beast that I saw on the beach earlier, if some strange monster popped out of this dense forest, no matter whether it was him in the previous life or the current him, he would have no resistance at all.

He tried his own skills, and originally wondered if he would have any special abilities or innate supernatural powers.

It's a pity that this body, compared with the body of Matsurize's previous life, is a little thinner, and there is no big difference, that is, it is worth being happy about being thinner!
Matsurize couldn't help being very frustrated. In such an unfamiliar environment without outstanding abilities, he didn't know if he could get out of this dense forest.

He couldn't help thinking, if he was going to continue to live in the name of Matsurize, he was going to die here!
In fact, he was still too anxious. To know where there are people, there must be rivers.

And as long as the river is still flowing, it will eventually flow into the sea.

So in fact, at the beginning, if Matsurize was careful, searched slowly, and searched upwards along the river's estuary, it would be relatively easy and safe to find people.

But if he could have these experiences and ideas at this time, he would not have been a nine-to-five office worker in his previous life.

He can only step up his pace now, and he is more fortunate that he has not seen any large carnivores so far.

Matsurize has never encountered even some small animals.

So far, he hasn't even stepped on a decent dirt road.

This means that there are few people around here, or even no one. Of course, Matsurize could not be wrong when he saw the cooking smoke before.

Therefore, he guessed that no one had entered this dense forest for a long time. He estimated that there would not be too many people in the smokehouse he wanted to find, and it was a small village at most.

And up to now, Matsurize hasn't figured out whether this is an island or a mainland, which he has temporarily left behind in order to wrap his stomach.

Now he only has one idea, that is to move forward, keep moving forward, and now he can only trust his intuition.

The sky is getting darker gradually, it's already past noon, and it's already afternoon, time is running out.

Now just relying on some wild fruits to satisfy hunger is no longer enough to fill one's stomach. This is really not a long-term solution!

Matsurize stepped on dead branches and rotten leaves step by step, and when he stepped down, his legs were covered in mud.

Very embarrassed, when he was really hungry, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a rabbit not far ahead, lying quietly under a big tree, as if taking a rest.

Hungry?
He didn't know if this was his own illusion, but he couldn't care so much now.

Step by step, approaching the rabbit cautiously.

very strange!
The rabbit hadn't moved since it was discovered by him, it was very weird, but at this moment Matsurize didn't care much about it.

As the distance between himself and the rabbit shortened, Matsurize found the right moment, swooped down, and crushed the poor rabbit under him.

Ignoring the dirt all over his body, he quickly took the rabbit out from under him.

Be very careful, Matsurize is afraid that if one is not taken properly, the rabbit will run away from him.

But it turned out that he was too worried, it was a dead rabbit.

A rabbit that crashed into a tree and died, Matsurize finally knew what it meant to wait for a rabbit. The difference was that he didn't just wait by a tree.
