Everything was dark. There was no sense of light, but I could feel the heat on my skin and the telltale sign of the sun shining down on my eyelids. Slowly and with effort, I opened my eyelids only to quickly shutting them again. Having rested my eyelids, I once again attempt to open them, this time in success. I laid there while watching the clear blue sky. There were no clouds in sight. I laid there for a while before my eyes widened.
"Where the hell am I!?" I nearly shouted as I quickly got to my feet. I remembered falling asleep in my own bed and had expected to see my apartement, but I what I was met with was the sight of a beach and the never ending ocean. I almost started hyperventilating. `Where am I? What happened to me? And why the hell do I seem taller?´ All of these questions were flying through my mind. I also noticed how my body seemed to have changed. I was nearly 2.4 m tall with muscles on top of my muscles. I only seemed to get more confused, however, I soon got my answers.
"(DING) Binding system, 100%. Congratulations host for winning the divine lottery. You have been chosen for the chance to live a new life in another world. You are currently situated in what you know as the world of one piece. This system is here to assist you on your travels."
`A system, and WAIT WHAT? Did it say I was in the world of one piece? I am fucked...´ Were my thoughts.
"(DING) For host to see the system functions, please think `menu´ to reach the menu."
"Menu." I said, and a blue transparent screen appeared in front of me.
"(DING) Menu: Status, Shop, Ship."
"Well that wasnt a lot of options." I thought.
"(DING) As you can see, the system offers three primary options. The status allows you to see your information such as name, strength compared to marines, weapons, devil fruits and haki. This also includes if you buy special items from the shop."
"Well that one was interesting." I said.
"Next is the shop function. This function have three sections. First is devil fruits, in case you want to strengthen your crew. Second is the summoning crate. This is to summon people and creatures from other worlds to act as your crewmates. Note that they will be completely loyal to host. Last of the shop functions is the item shop. In case you want new weapons or if you simply want a black coffee from your original world."
"Well that is probably the most awesome function yet." I mumbled.
"The final function of the system is the ship section. Here you can repair or expand your ship when needed."
"Well then. That is handy."
"Now then, host must choose which faction to affiliate with. Pirates[ ] Marines[ ] Bounty hunters[ ]"
"Arrgh, a hard choice. Marines would let me travel without fear for bounty hunters, who also arent the best choice. However I believe everyone that has ever dreamt of coming to this world would choose the same, pirates. Adventures, travels, treasures and being free. Yeah, system I choose pirates."
"(DING) Pirates [ X ] Host has chosen to affiliate with the pirate faction. To commemorate this moment, the host has received a starter pack from the admin. Do you wish to open it?"
"A gift pack? Yeah open it."
"(DING) Host has received 1x Weapon token 1x Devil fruit token. 1x Summon crate. 1x Ship."
"Woah there. Thats a lot. System, can you show what they each do?"
"(DING) Affirmative. [Weapon token] allows host to summon a weapon, wether futuristic or medieval. [Devil fruit token] allows host to create a devil fruit. [Summon crate] allows host to summon people or creatures from other worlds to becomeyour crewmates/mascots. [Ship] allows host to choose a ship to start his journey."
"Well thats an OP starter pack. Start with the ship i guess."
"(DING) Host has opened 1x ship, please choose a ship to summon."
"I have always wanted to do this, I choose The queen annes revenge."
"(DING) Host has chosen to summon the queen annes revenge, are you certain?"
"Yes." As I answered this, a ship started to form in the water a bit from the shore as well as a smaller boat near me that could transport me to the ship further away.
"Holy shit, its awesome."
It was just over one hundred feet long, as a three-masted frigate. Its stern was decorated in crimson-red and gold colors. At the aft of the ship beneath the helm, was the captain's quarters. The captain's quarters appeared more like the den of an evil magician. The nightmarish vision painted on the stained glass window, which can also be seen on the stern of the Revenge, depicts dead men writhing in flames, stoked by devilish characters. The window made the cabin, as well as the Queen Anne's Revenge itself, look truly fiendish and demonic.
"Damn I made a good choice. If Im gonna be a pirate, I might as well have a badass ship. Next up, use the weapon token."
"(DING) Host has used 1x weapon token. Choose your weapon."
"Considering my physical build, I want a greatsword or something. Give me the dragon slayer."
"(DING) Summoning Dragon slayer." In front of me, stuck in the sand was a sword of two meters. The blade itself being 1.82 m long. The pommel was just a block of steel with a piece of cloth blowing in the breeze. I picked up the blade and started to swing it around.
"Hm, Im no expert in swordmanship, but this is the blade for me." I said and attached the blade to my back.
"I guess I`ll use the devil fruit later. Open the summoning crate."
"(DING) Opening 1x summoning crate."
A plume of smoke appeared in front of me. As the smoke dissapated, there was a person in front of me. He has a height of two meters and has a huge picky afro. His figure is lean but very well built with dark skin and brown eyes. He wears a white Japanese Kimono, blue flared pants with heavily frayed hems by the ankles, a pair of Japanese geta and wears a headband that depict the number one. He also carries a katana with a fishing line attached to its hilt.
"Well then, welcome to the crew... Afro. I dont know how much info you have."
"Hmm." He grunted and lit a cigarette.
"I know the basics. So, whats the plan.... boss?"
"Were heading out after we train a bit. There are some abilities here that I think you would enjoy learning." This seemed to pique his interest.
"Its an ability called haki. There are three types, observation, armament and conqueror`s. Observation is more or less a sixth sense, some train it enough to see the future. Armament can be made into a second skin that works like a shield. It can be coated over a sword as well."
Here he raised his eyebrow.
"Finally is the conqueror`s haki. Only one in a million usually have this. You more or less force your own willpower upon others. Most weak-willed people will faint at this."
"Hm, then lets start." He said and took a drag of his cigarette.
- Timeskip.
We spent the next couple of months on that island training. It actually went quite well. I also found out that there are quests inthis system as well, just hidden. I found out when the system congratulated me on awakening my armament haki. What did I receive? Only the best summoning token ever. I summoned the one and only Zaraki Kenpachi after he had achieved his bankai. This was a welcome addition.
I had also chosen to use my devil fruit token.
-Flashback, 2 weeks into training.
"System, how does the devil fruit token work?"
"(DING) After using the token, you can chose the type from paramecia, logia, zoan and mythical zoan. Having chosen your fruits type, you can then customize a fruit special to you."
"Then I want to use it."
"(DING) Host has used 1x devil fruit token. Choose your fruit."
"Mythical zoan, based on the four symbolic beasts, Byakko."
"Calculating, calculating. (DING) Your fruit has been generated. Neko neko no mi, model: Byakko. Turns the user into either full or hybrid form of the white tiger of the west. It also grants the user increased physical and perceptive capabilities, mainly stealth, agility, and durability. Its mythical abilities lies in allowing the user to generate and control electricity."
In my hands appeared a smaller fruit, white with black swirls and pink flesh. It is roughly shaped like a feline paw. The stem above it is dark blue and turns into a lightning bolt reminiscent of zig zag. It was the devil fruit.
"If Kaido is gonna be the dragon of the east, then Im the tiger of the west." I laughed to myself.
"System, do I have to eat the entire fruit?"
"No, host does not need to eat the whole fruit, but doing so, you will not receive the entire power from the fruit."
"Sigh..... then down the hatch we go." I ate the whole fruit as fast as I could, and it didnt go long until I felt the power. I quickly generated electricity around my hands and grinned wildly.
"This is gonna be fun."
