As Mark slowly opened his eyes as his headache receded he felt his body had changed.
" Why am I so hungry? I just ate my lunch before getting hit by that truck! Huh how am I not dead yet?"
Mark slowly to the stream and drank a bit of water as he saw his face and saw an iconic straw hat.
" This, I became Luffy! Hahahaha no shishi shishi not bad, I am going to be the Pirate King" screamed Mark no Luffy to particularly no one in a moment of excitement.
[Panel Loaded. Loading Gift Pack]
" There's even a system let's punch Akainu and kick Kizaru back to Marineford shishishi."
" Maybe I can change my laugh to Gurararara"
After mocking different laughing styles Luffy quickly opened the panel with a command.

' Guess I have to get back to training, I was planning to beat up Arlong and strive to set sail a bit earlier, I am probably not strong enough to beat Arlong yet but I can't back down or just postpone it two years into the future, hehe Admirals and Yonko aside if I can't beat Arlong earlier than Luffy- Prime I should stop thinking about Pirate King and One Piece' Luffy lampooned as he held the new Devil Fruit in his arm and took a bite and felt that unmistakable taste once again.
' Zoro and Sanji will be alright, Usopp is in danger but it's latent and Nami and Cocoyashi village is suffering. I really don't want to be hero but when I meet people like Arlong, Doflamingo and Kaido I just want to punch them to the ground'.
As he understood the power of Recover- Recover Fruit Luffy quickly formed his plan and decided to set sail at least six months earlier than Luffy- Prime and make some changes to the story, he would also use his brain and knowledge to change as much he could. As of now he had seen up to the end of Wano and heard plenty of spoilers about Egghead and Elbaph. It's not that he doesn't watch anime often it's just that he likes to stack episodes and watch it in one go rather than wait every week or two in the new schedule.
' Also if Grandpa comes back before that I will ask him to clean up Arlong even if Nami doesn't become my navigator, human suffering trumps getting a Navigator, I'll just find another one in any case".
It's not that Luffy didn't want to tell Garp now but he didn't have a Den Den Mushi or know Garps number, according to Garp if he ever called him (aka bother) at work, he would have to go a whole year as a vegetarian.
' What a fickle Grandpa, can't call you but every time we meet you beat me up for being too distant, should I try someone else maybe Koushiro, didn't he have connections with revolutionary army?' as he slowly figured his plan the abilities of his new Devil Fruit.
Recover- Recover Fruit can only work on himself it's not the Heal- Heal fruit, it can accelerate his healing powers, recover knowledge and memories he once knew and then forgot. It doesn't sound very combat enhancing but it can be quite tricky if used right.
[ Author's Note: even with this fruits application of recovering memories, Luffy's knowledge of one piece world isn't complete because in his previous life Mark only watched the anime and would often skip some episodes or parts he didn't like]
" Skill Guide, why is my physique so weak, with Grandpa's training Koby and Helmeppo grew stronger so fast yet my improvement in the last eight years isn't particularly impressive?"
" It's a side effect of the Devil Fruit, your rubbery physique negates the damage you receive, very handy in combat but it makes it ten times harder to improve your physique, Solutions, train in water or while wearing Seastone. Also if extreme exhaustion causes you unable to become Rubber Man then your strength will have improvements".
