Capítulo 1: Prologue

I find myself advancing in a line, I am not able to recognize any familiar face between those who are in front or behind me, 'wait a second'.

'Where I am? The last thing I remember is that I was finishing my investigation on the mysterious deaths that occurred in my city, they called it the perfect crime, without any evidence at first glance, but after collecting a lot of information I managed to find the culprit.

"Next", is heard from the end of the row, where there is a large door next to its corresponding gatekeeper, who has large wings coming out of his back.

'Hmm... so I'm at an anime convention, that cosplay is really well done, it almost seems like those wings move naturally with their owner'.

As the line continues to advance, Joseph observes his surroundings in detail, trying to gather as much information as possible without losing his cool for a second.

'A completely white room, it is almost like an infinite room, every time someone comes to the front, the angel cosplayer indicates the door to go through. His gaze, maybe I am imagining things, but I have the feeling that his gaze goes through people, as if he could see through what is visible.

"Next", finally comes Joseph's turn, the angel slightly opens his eyes in surprise and for the first time says something different.

"Are you aware?" the other party tries to reply, but the words can't seem to come out of his mouth, so he ends up just nodding.

'What the hell? Wait, this is not normal', the angel's wings change from the purest white to a beautiful pink and from one moment to another, Joseph is completely alone, with nothing around him'.

"100 years, maybe more… I thought that the people of this, my world, were no longer capable of generating a soul with enough will to maintain their consciousness after their cycle came to an end."

'What a deep and majestic voice, I feel like it does not come from anywhere, but from all at once, this is too fantastic to be real, and at the same time too real to be a dream.'

"Due to your strong will, you will be chosen to replace a being from a different world than your own, you will have the basic knowledge to communicate, in addition to your own knowledge. You may not have realized it, but you have lost the memories of all your previous close ones and only the information remains."

Although he still has his conscience, Joseph cannot respond or move any part of his body.

"I am not interested in your questions or opinions. Along with the above, you will receive a unique gift, it can help you, it can lead you to a life full of suffering, you decide whether to take it or leave it.

On a small island in the blue east, where only wild animals live, a young man is found passed out by a lake next to a strange-looking fruit. After a few hours, the sun's rays point directly at his face, and he wakes up completely surprised without recognizing anything around him.

'Not knowing where I am is becoming a habit that I don't quite like', after taking a long breath, he begins to take each little clue as used when facing a new case.

'Another world, another life, another body, lost in a forest, I don't see smoke or signs of human life nearby, I have water thanks to the lake, food... only this strange fruit, I should be able to find more fruits or hunt some animal setting traps.

'Wait a minute, this fruit looks like something out of the most famous pirate manga in my old world. My common sense is worth nothing here, but if I remember the words of that strange being, this should be the gift, he said it could help, but with consequences.

After a few minutes, thinking about the pros and cons, Joseph takes a bite of the strange fruit, which automatically leads him to go to the lake to drink water and then spit it out to get rid of the bad taste.

'With this I get closer to my hypothesis, I know I took a risk, but I had nothing to lose', seeing his reflection he sees the face of a boy, no more than 13 years old, green eyes, straight brown hair, thin face and pale.

Observing his reflection he could see the first big change, his brown hair little by little in a matter of seconds was getting darker and darker until it was completely black.

"My hair just changed color in front of my eyes, I feel like my body is also changing, getting stronger, there is no doubt, this was a devil fruit, and it is very likely that I will find myself in the world of One Piece."
