Unknown MC POV
Somewhere on sea, EastBlue.
...
...
Monkey D. Luffy woke up abruptly, his eyelids revealing a dark and confined environment. A strange sensation enveloped his body, pressed against the wooden walls of the barrel, while the rhythmic movements of the sea produced a gentle sway in the structure. Cautiously, he rubbed his eyes as if trying to dispel the fog of sleep and comprehend the reality around him, with blurry images in his head.
The barrel, though confined, had become a peculiar capsule that held the first moments of his memory comeback. The darkness that surrounded him was a veil of uncertainty, but as his senses adjusted, Luffy began to discern familiar details. The worn wood under his fingers, the muffled echoes of the ocean around, and the continuous motion of the waves—all indicated that he was in a place that, though initially unknown, carried an iconic atmosphere.
This awakening inside the barrel, once mysterious, became the introduction to the rebirth of a new Monkey D. Luffy in a revamped world. His now perceptive eyes explored the confined space, capturing details that identified it as a unique starting point and reflecting on his situation.
At every moment, Luffy's awareness gained clarity about his unique situation.
"Where the hell am I? I remember dying..." he murmured to himself, scratching his head in the darkness. It felt like a dream, but as time passed, he became more aware of his situation.
Luffy didn't have much time to think because soon a flood of memories began to surface inside his head, between a past life and a new life that he had lived in this world before this moment.
...
'I'll be more powerful, and I'll never be caught!'
'I will be more powerful.'
'I will be.'
'No, it will be me.'
'I!'
'I!'
'You kids are so funny, Dahahahahahaha!' An adult man wearing a straw hat laughed, watching the two children with an amused look.
...
'Luffy, you are too childish,' someone commented, expressing a mix of concern and understanding.
'She's right, Luffy,' another added, agreeing with the previous assessment.
'You girls don't understand. I'll be a great pirate and will rule all the seas!' Luffy asserted, excited and full of confidence.
'Tsk, I don't like that dream, Luffy. I want a world where people live happily,' Uta expressed discontent.
'It's a beautiful dream, Uta. I want to bring justice to the world!'
...
'Uta, I have a bad feeling about this journey...' Luffy commented, a wrinkle of concern marking his forehead.
'I'll be fine, silly. Remember our promise?' Uta replied, displaying a reassuring smile.
'That we would stay together? But that was weird; I still don't understand.'
'You'll find out in the future. Fufufufu.' Uta laughed mysteriously, leaving a suspenseful aura in the air.
...
'I hate you, Shanks!' Luffy shouted and ran out with tears in his eyes.
...
'Shanks... why...?' The boy cried on the man's chest.
'I couldn't let a boy die, could I?' Shanks replied, his voice conveying compassion.
'But... your arm!' The boy tried to avoid looking where Shanks had lost his arm to save him. Even though he was a good swimmer, he couldn't go back to the village with that sea monster, but Shanks still saved him.
...
'I swear, this is my dream. One day, I'll have a crew that will be the most powerful ever in this world. I will be the strongest pirate and man of all! No one will stop me, whether it's you or Lucy!' The boy shouted with his childish voice but seemed quite sincere.
'Dahahahahahaha. I liked hearing that, Luffy. Let's make a promise then.' Shanks said, taking off his hat and putting it on a confused Luffy.
'You see, this hat is very precious to me. I want you to wear it until the day you become a great pirate, and you have to protect your sister too; she is very special.' Shanks said with a casual tone, but no one could imagine the weight behind those words.
'This... your hat, Shanks?' Luffy and Lucy looked at the man in surprise.
'Yes, now it's yours, and it looks great on you. So, promise me.' Shanks smiled.
'I... I promise! I will become a great pirate, recognized as the great emperor of the sea. I will protect my sister and one day pass your hat on!' Luffy shouted with excitement.
'I'll be waiting...' Shanks left after that, leaving behind a promise that would echo through time.
...
'Buahahahaha. This is the Fist of Love; you will always feel your grandpa's love! This is to remove any influence that damn redhead has put on you!' Garp said seriously.
...
'You spat on my sister, you bastard!' Luffy saw that and ran to hit the boy.
'I see you've already met; this is Ace, Luffy, and Lucy, and you are siblings from now on.' Garp crossed his arms.
Luffy was already defeated on the ground since he couldn't beat a boy three years older than him.
'Hm?'
'Brother?'
'What?'
...
'With this, we'll be officially siblings from this moment on!'
'Yes!'
'Hahaha. Cool!'
'Let's drink!'
'Shishishishishi, I have more siblings!'
...
In a moment of euphoria and shared dreams:
"I will be the emperor of all seas!" Luffy shouted, his voice full of determination echoing on the beach.
"I will be a powerful marine, and I will capture you, Luffy!" Lucy exclaimed, looking at the horizon with eyes full of determination and pride.
"I want to make my own name in the world!" Ace proclaimed, raising his fist towards the sky, challenging destiny.
'Freedom at sea and fighting against oppression! That's what I want!' Sabo declared, his gaze fixed on the ocean, as if he could see a future free and full of adventures.
...
'Hmmm... Hmmm...' Ace was crying in a corner.
'...' Luffy let the tears flow silently.
"Luffy... he's really gone...." Lucy sobbed along with her brother, incessant tears marking the trail of their sadness.
'Yes, Lucy. Sabo... died...' Luffy said in tears too, his voice wavering with the pain of loss.
'Ahhhhh....' Lucy cried viscerally, as if each tear were an echo of the pain her heart carried.
'I'm so sorry, sister, I'm so sorry...' Luffy wrapped Lucy in his arms, letting her cry on his shoulder, while his own tears mixed with hers. It was a shared lament between siblings who had lost someone they loved.
...
'Ace, good luck!'
'You can do it, Ace! Master it before I arrive, because I plan to give you a beating!'
'You can wait, Luffy; you'll never surpass me!'
'I will capture you and bring justice!'
'Good luck trying that, Lucy!'
'Goodbye, brother!'
'Goodbye, Ace!'
'See you in the future, siblings!'
...
'Lucy, we'll see each other soon, right?'
'Yes, brother. I'll leave earlier, but we'll meet in the sea!'
'Good luck, Lucy.'
'Me too, brother...' Lucy had strange eyes for Luffy.
'...' Luffy remained silent, not knowing how to react to that.
'About that...' Lucy commented.
'Let's keep that just between us, Lucy; we'll talk about it in the future, for now, follow your dreams.' Luffy commented.
'Yes, brother, and you follow yours; I want to see you soon.' She said excitedly.
...
'Goodbye, everyone!'
'Good luck, Luffy!'
'Don't embarrass the village!'
'Good luck.'
'Follow your dreams, kid!'
'We have faith in you!'
'Goodbye, all; soon you'll be seeing my picture in the newspaper!'
...
Many images, people, and situations passed through Luffy's mind at this moment; there were scenes of him in another world too, conflicting at this moment, even creating an existential crisis at this moment.
"This... is my life in this world!" He exclaimed, feeling a slight headache with all those images arising between two lives at once.
Luffy realized that something had changed in himself too. His body was growing and becoming different, stronger and more vibrant. The familiar features of his old self were replaced by a more robust, almost legendary version. He felt a pulsating energy within him, a promise of power and possibilities.
"That's different..." Luffy reflected, acknowledging the changes in himself. "I'm no longer the same Monkey D. Luffy. I am... something more. Memories from my past life are coming back, and new powers are emerging in this body..."
As he absorbed the situation, the memory of a robotic voice echoed in his mind, reminding him of his mythical and unique post-death encounter with an identity. He gained a chance to be reborn in the fantastic world of One Piece as a character named Monkey D. Luffy.
"So, but I'm an original character, huh?" Luffy pondered, looking at his hands in that darkness. "That explains the changes." He remembered the stories he knew about the One Piece universe. The lines of destiny were redrawn with his presence in this world; according to that identity, there were changes, and this Luffy is not originally Nika but someone else, and now he had the chance to leave a unique mark in history.
"Let's think about my benefits now. To start, I received two powerful Devil Fruits, 4 summoning cards as an initial bonus, and a shop system as my safe haven for this world. Now that I have received these powers with my memories, my body is changing, especially the mythical Zoan I acquired!" Luffy seemed satisfied inside the barrel.
"As I am not the original Monkey D. Luffy, there is another character who was born to be the MC of this world. I know him very well with my life in this world so far, and he is not a pirate. Now, with my memories coming back, while I started my journey in the barrel by coincidence, I'm sure this world is about to get even more interesting!" Luffy murmured, feeling a renewed excitement with the expectations of his possibilities in this world.
The first changes in this non-original Luffy are his size; he is 2.1 meters tall with a strong body, despite never having the Hito Hito no Mi or any other Devil Fruit. He trained a lot with his brothers. He now has tattoos across his torso, as it was part of his original personality in his past life and was added to his body as memories returned. His hair is a modern style, with a side undercut, akin to David's style from Cyberpunk. With the addition of the mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, his muscles grew even larger at this moment, making his current clothes tight on him. His eyes turned red as a consequence of the fruit's power, and he had changed quite a bit. If the potential of the Monkey D. family was already great, the addition of his current fruit made him explode with possibilities; his body was now far beyond the understanding of ordinary humans.

"Well, it looks like I can finally start my adventure in this world!" Luffy commented, still in the dark but ready to leave that barrel and begin his journey.

Monkey D. Luffy's POV
Somewhere in the East Blue Sea.
...
...
"!"
With the spontaneous growth after the powers of the Devil Fruits in his body, Luffy first received the Moa Moa no Mi, a fruit with tremendous potential. In the original work, it was limited to increasing speed and mass, but its essence is multiplication. Luffy knew its potential was much greater; he could increase Speed, Mass, Weight, Defense, Recovery, Learning, Gravity, Mind, and Sound. There were still other possibilities that Luffy hadn't unlocked yet, but he planned to do so in the future. In his opinion, Luffy concluded that he had the Devil Fruit with the most potential in the world. Imagine reaching your peak with the ability to increase speed and strength by 100 times?
His second fruit is not original to this world but from Final Fantasy 16, one of the colossal monsters known as Eikons. Luffy's Eikon is the Hell Eikon, also known as the second fire Eikon, Ifrit, used by the protagonist of the game. However, Luffy's Ifrit is modified; instead of normal-colored flames, he possesses chaos flames with amethyst hues that surpass even Akaino's magma heat and can disintegrate matter. The official name of his Devil Fruit is Eikon Eikon no Mi: Chaos Ifrit.
He still had the cards and the system to figure out, but he decided to handle that later. At the moment, his priority was to get out of this barrel floating in the middle of the sea.
Without wasting more time, amid the vastness of the sea where the barrel floated in the solitary horizon, its lid exploded, turning into hundreds of shards in the air above the wooden object.
*BOOM!*
The punch was so powerful that the lid had no chance. The sound echoed for hundreds of meters with its reverberation. In the barrel, a raised fist could be seen emerging from it, while a tattooed man with clothes that no longer seemed to fit him gradually stood up. This was Monkey D. Luffy, or rather, the new Monkey D. Luffy. The boy looked around, trying to orient himself, but his own sigh was the only response he got, as there was nothing beyond the horizon on all sides, no sign of a nearby ship or island.
"Seems like I'm quite ahead of when the events start. Still, why should I waste my time in a barrel that isn't even big enough for me now? I might as well wait for some sailors to pick me up, thinking I'm some ordered barrel of drink," he murmured. So, he made a decision; he would search for Alvida's ship on his own.
The first thing he did was tear his red tank top shirt since it no longer fit him and then took the straw hat off his head, letting it fall onto his back. Throwing the torn shirt away, he began to focus and understand his power.
Closing his red eyes, the new Luffy started to concentrate on his back.
"Let's test my transformation!" He said as he forced his strange power to manifest and enter the first phase of his Mythical Zoan.
Suddenly, he felt the Zoan fruit's energy flow through his body. First, his hair, which was shaved on the sides and had a messy top, matching his rebellious style, began to grow.
"This is strange and unexpected, but at the same time, it's amazing!" He said with a small smile.
When he stopped growing, it was as if he had a big black mane now. His hair was thick, but it hadn't lost its black sheen, turning the man into a different kind of beauty for feminine eyes. However, there was no girl around to admire his transformation at this moment, unfortunately.
But his transformation didn't end there. In addition to the hair growth that reached the middle of his back, on each side of his upper back, wings began to emerge. As they grew, the man seemed to shrink in comparison, making him look like a kind of black angel. The man, even at 2.10 meters, seemed dwarfed by the wings that extended over 5 meters from his back to their tips.
"Hehehehe! This is so cool!" Luffy laughed as he admired his new transformation, releasing a different laugh from the original Luffy as he inspected and flapped his wings.
"I would really like to summon the first members of my crew right now or see the system, but I can't stand being in this damn barrel for another second!" Luffy said and prepared for his first attempt at flight.
With that, he flexed his knees inside the barrel, while his new wings moved with the same control as any muscle in his body. He leaned as they prepared to launch him upwards, and then he jumped.
BOOM!
Another explosion occurred as the barrel shattered into thousands of pieces, and a man rocketed into the sky with dark wings moving at high speed, leaving a strong gust of wind behind him.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THIS IS AMAZING!" He exclaimed with all his lung power as he soared upward.
Luffy fought against gravity and kept ascending.
"This is a bit tricky, but I can get used to it in no time. Since it's my first time doing this, I just need to be careful because there's no more barrel for me to return to!" He said as he continued to fly toward the sky to reach his first clouds.
Meanwhile, some time later.
Somewhere else.
"Come on, steal them all, take everything!!" A extremely fat woman said.
"Yes, Captain Alvida!" A chorus of voices rose in response to her command, and she smiled with satisfaction.
"KOBY!!!" She shouted again, and a boy with pink hair immediately appeared in front of her.
"Yes, Captain Alvida!" He saluted immediately.
"Tell me, Koby! Who's the most beautiful woman in the East Blue?" She asked, and the boy shivered.
"It's Captain Alvida, she's the most beautiful woman in the sea!" He said quickly and fearfully.
"Very well! Now, do you see all this blood and these bodies?" She asked with a malicious smile, and the boy chose poorly with this question.
"Yes, Captain..." He said softly, trying not to look at the dead civilians and soldiers strewn about in this vile raid carried out by Alvida's pirate crew. He was responsible for the clean-up.
"Great, I want you to clean everything and remove anything valuable from the bodies!" She gave the order, and he had no choice but to carry out her demand as he headed towards the unfortunate victims.
For the rest of the time, Koby continued taking some valuables from the pockets of those people, robbing a corpse was by far the most unpleasant thing he could do here, even with all the abuse from Alvida. He had no choice; otherwise, he could end up among the bodies.
"Koby! More bodies!" A member of the crew arrived and said, laughing, tossing two more corpses near him. Koby could only lament. His expression didn't escape the captain, who stopped what she was doing and looked amused at the young man.
"KOOOOBYYY! Don't you like doing this job?" She asked with a threatening look.
"It's not that, Miss Alvida! I'm doing it, don't worry!" He said in a hurry and fearfully trying to accelerate his work.
"Then do it without any grimaces!" She growled.
"Yes, Captain!" He responded immediately.
"Now, answer me again, who's the most powerful and beautiful woman on the seas?"
"Captain Alvida!"
"That's right! Lucky you have some sense." She said with a malicious smile. But she was soon interrupted by some men who arrived running.
"Captain!! We have a problem!" Said those men, who arrived in a panic from the pirate crew's ship, landing on the commercial ship they were looting, and they ran to Alvida with terrible news.
"What is it now?" An irritated Alvida said, as she was interrupted in her precious narcissistic moment.
"Our treasures! They've all been stolen from our ship! Hm??? AAAAHHHHH!!!!!" He didn't finish speaking because Alvida hit him head-on with her club, sending him flying with his wounds bleeding after that sudden impact.
"Hey, you. Can you repeat what he said?" Alvida asked the other man who arrived with his companion. He looked at his former companion and the trail of blood he left behind, trembling and fearing Alvida's wrath falling upon him too, just because of the terrible news. He could die here. Koby wasn't any different, waiting for Alvida not to take it out on him, too, in case she wasn't satisfied.
"O-Our treasure was s-stolen, Captain!" He said, and Alvida lowered her head, silent and immobile for a while. Then she raised her gaze, showing her fury to the poor fellow.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!"
"WAIT, CAPTAIN!! AHHHHHH!!" He didn't have a chance as he was thrown like a ragdoll. She saw her subordinate fly and shouted to the other men.
"LISTEN UP, EVERYONE! I WANT YOU TO SEARCH EVERY INCH OF THESE SHIPS!! BRING ME THAT THIEF WITH OUR TREASURES IN 10 MINUTES!!" She roared loudly, and everyone panicked, not only for their treasure but also because their lives were in danger here if Alvida was dissatisfied.
"AND YOU'D BETTER FIND THAT DAMN THIEF; OTHERWISE, I'LL... HMM??" She couldn't finish her threat because something unbelievable happened.
BOOOOOOM
An explosion occurred behind Alvida. She quickly turned to see what was happening, thinking it might be an attack from another ship. The sea was empty apart from her own pirate ship and the commercial boat they were plundering. But when she returned her eyes to the small explosion, she realized it was a newcomer who seemed to have fallen from the sky. This situation left everyone stunned for the next few seconds.
"OH! I finally made it!" A cheerful voice said amidst the dust and debris that had risen on the deck.
"Can't believe I got lost while I was in the sky. How did something like that happen?! In the end, I managed to find the ships when I thought I was going to die because my wings couldn't take it anymore. Still, I almost arrived late!" The voice spoke to itself, sounding quite dissatisfied. This guy said senseless things while everyone was bewildered.
"Maybe I have the legendary talent for getting lost on the way, like that Zoro fellow? That would be terrible for me if that's the case... Hm?" The strange voice debated with itself, and nobody knew to whom it belonged. It seemed very manly and animated.
"Whistle Wow, there are quite a few bodies here. You pirates in this world don't mess around, and it seems this world is really dangerous. There must be all kinds of real crimes. It's a bit scary, but I'll have to get used to it since I have big plans here." The voice continued talking to itself while everyone was still listening. No one knew what to say to break the strange atmosphere that had taken over.
"OH? Look who's here!" The voice got excited as it emerged from the smoke. Everyone was even more bewildered when they saw the man coming out of the smoke.
He had dark hair with a pompadour and red eyes. He was taller than anyone in this place, exuding confidence in his posture as he approached Alvida.
[IMAGE HERE]
He was shirtless, displaying his perfect muscles, and covered in tattoos. He was wearing flip-flops and shorts that seemed quite tight on him now, but he didn't seem to mind it much.
He walked towards Alvida without hesitation. Alvida, seeing the incredibly beautiful man who showed most of his athletic body, blushed a bit, something Koby noticed beside her, his eyes and mouth wide open in a huge grimace!
"IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?!" He screamed internally.
"It was right to be sure that I would meet you on this wonderful day! So it's you! The woman named Alvida, who claims to be the most beautiful woman in this sea, isn't it?!" He said with a big smile, without caring that he was surrounded by 50 pirates and many civilian bodies on the ground.
