Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

[What might surprise you is that the world's bounty order production technology is very advanced. Two versions were updated in just a few days. They captured your entire appearance, even the star-shaped birthmark on the back of your neck is still vivid.]

As for the two enemies you face... Honestly, you've fought Borsalino a few times, neither of you trying their best. At the time, you hadn't learned from Shanks what a Devil Fruit was, so you just thought it was some kind of supernatural power. He's very fast, and possesses powerful swordsmanship, kicking skills, and shooting abilities, making him comparable to you in strength.

[As for Sakaski, this is the first time you've heard of him, but since his rank is higher than Borsalino's, he's certainly not weak. I can foresee this will be a difficult battle.]

Over the next few days, you resupply this island and learn that it's called Magnetic Drum Island, located at the head of the Grand Line. The head of the Grand Line is known as Paradise, a haven for newcomers. With your abilities, you should be completely unmatched in this area.

On February 1501, 2, by coincidence, you once again encountered Marshall D. Teach, the ugly Blackbeard who had escaped you earlier, in a tavern on this island. He was actually enjoying a free meal! His first instinct was to run away, but you paused and used your finger gun to easily defeat him. You felt that both his taijutsu and Haki had merit, especially his taijutsu, which was definitely not inferior to Shanks's.

Your current identity has changed, from a bounty hunter to a semi-pirate. While you have mixed feelings about Teach, you have no intention of killing him. Without hesitation, you want to rob his ship, but you didn't expect him to be even poorer than you, having come to Drum Island in a single barrel!

You waved him off, somewhat speechlessly. You even gave him travel expenses before he left! This guy was actually quite grateful, leaving you a pointer before he left. The Grand Line's hydrological and magnetic environments are extremely chaotic, and a single moment of carelessness can lead to complete loss at sea. Each island has a different magnetic field, so the pointer needs to record for a period of time, and only when it's fully charged will it point to the next island.

This is what an oceanographer dreams of, and what's truly worthwhile! You're very interested in the recording pointer. The principle behind this is probably that the islands and seas along the Grand Route contain a large amount of minerals, causing disturbances in the magnetic field along the entire route.

[Over the next few days, while you wait for the magnetic force to be recorded, continue to practice taijutsu and Haki, focusing on time-stopping. There's a giant killer rabbit called Labang here that's quite formidable and perfect for training.]

As the saying goes, mastering one skill leads to mastering all. After grasping the key to practicing physical techniques, you have gradually mastered two more physical techniques: Shaving and Moon Step. The former allows you to stomp the ground dozens of times at high speed, generating explosive reaction force and allowing you to move at high speed, appearing to disappear from the enemy's view. The latter allows you to fly through the air, undoubtedly taking your strength to a new level. You have learned the skill Shaving (Elementary).

[You've also made considerable progress in your ability to stop time. You previously suspected that the length of a time stop stemmed from physical strength, as better physical condition provides greater mental strength, thus increasing the length of the time stop. Just as Dio Brando, a vampire, has been able to stop time for up to nine seconds, the limit for humans on Earth is only five seconds.]

Through relentless training and targeted practice, your time-stopping ability continues to lengthen. While the cooldown remains the same "take a few breaths" duration, the duration has increased from two seconds to four, then to six, and now to eight. Perhaps soon your physique will surpass Dio's limits, allowing you to stop time for even longer.

On February 1501, 2, after recording the magnetic force, the needle pointed northwest. You purchased another ship on Drum Island and headed for the island. Unfortunately, you saw a large number of warships gathering ahead in the northwest. Your old acquaintance, Borsalino, and another sturdy young man in a coat of justice stood side by side at the bow, winking at you.

"I'm sorry, little brother!" Borsalino said to you with a hint of deep meaning.

[This... you immediately realized that the other person was Vice Admiral Sakaski of the Marine Headquarters!]

[Whether on Earth or in this world, Vice Admiral is considered a very high-ranking rank in the navy. Above that are Admiral and Marshal, and it is absolutely not to be underestimated.]

Therefore, you had no intention of holding back. From the very beginning, you used your Stand ability, using fog to block the entire sea area. With Moon Steps and Shave, you instantly rushed in front of the enemy. Star Platinum floated behind you like a shadow, launching an all-out attack on the enemy!

The ensuing battle was quite intense. Leveraging the restrictive power of the Mist Mist Fruit and its buggy time-stopping ability, you managed to suppress Sakaski and Borsalino. Sakaski's fruit ability allowed him to transform into magma, vaporizing the mist you created. While it wasn't a complete letdown, it did make it difficult for you to perform effectively.

However, Borsalino still held back, his abilities even weaker than they had been during our initial sparring match. Thus, without Sakaski's knowledge, your Stand ability was unleashed solely on him, causing him to quickly fall behind. Unable to see the Stand, and unaware of what had happened during the eight seconds of time pause, he passively took the beating, occasionally letting out frustrated and confused roars.

If it weren't for his extremely advanced cultivation of Observation Haki, which allowed him to always be the first to transform into an element at critical moments, he would have died in your time freeze. Even so, his body gradually became covered with scars.

[This final battle ended with a small victory for you. After the continuous time-stopping, your physical strength was already somewhat insufficient, but Sakaski was seriously injured and taken away by Borsalino, and you also sank most of the naval fleet they brought with them. (Quest Progress: Famous Battle Scene 2/5)]

On March 1501, 3, this unexpected encounter shocked the entire sea. Everyone was astonished by the fighting prowess you displayed. Borsalino had just been promoted to brigadier general and wasn't very well-known yet. Sakaski, on the other hand, was known to be the most outstanding sailor in recent years and a candidate for the future admiral!

High combat power brings a high bounty. A few days later, your bounty was issued, an unprecedented increase, reaching 9 million berries. In a new World News article written by news tycoon Bertans, you were even listed as one of the five most vicious pirates six months after the Great Pirate Age began, alongside Whitebeard, Big Mom, and others. "Vile?" You couldn't help but laugh at yourself.

On March 1501, 3, you arrived at the island behind Drum Island—a country called Alabasta. This was one of the original twenty countries established by the World Government, with an area exceeding 7 million square kilometers. It takes five days for the record pointer to be full.

[To your slight surprise, you ran into Shanks, whom you hadn't seen for a long time. He had come to see you after seeing the news about you defeating Sakaski and Borsalino.]
