Chương 1: The Awakening
On a certain island, in a certain sea, in the world we all know and love. A young man has started his new journey in life. A journey of adventure. A journey of thrill. A journey of danger and corruption. A journey... of a pirate.
"My name is Aden D. Hum. And i will be the King of the Pira..."*record stop*
"Okay, that's a lie. That will be my brother, Luffy. My story is a bit different from anyone else's. You may have heard all the stories of reincarnation and whatnot. But i have lived it."
It was like any other day for Aden. Sitting at a bar, drinking juice. Next to a particular red haired fellow, and his brother in all but blood, the self-proclaimed Future King of the Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy.
All was well in life. Except, that this particular morning, Aden has experienced something unheard of. He...remembered. He remembered his life before this one. His job and his home. Everything. Besides his own name. And his family. It was all in a haze.
What he did remember, however, was his love for anime. One Piece in particular was one of his favourites. He recalled most of the story, but sadly even that was a bit blurry. Perhaps whatever brought him here, did not want him to know too much.
Memories of Aden's life have merged with his own. This allowed him to come to terms with his new life rather quickly.
Aden had no idea why he was here or what brought him along. What he knew, was that he would not let the plot dictate his life. He would take this chance by the horns and wrestle it to the ground if he had to.
"What has gotten you so quiet Aden?" Asked Shanks with a small smile.
"I'm just...lost in thought, i guess." Answered Aden, still a bit unfocused.
"Care to share?"
"*sigh* Just thinking about... I don't know ..Life. About what to do. But enough about that. What is in those chests?"
" I've been wondering about that, too." Said Luffy in his usual goofy tone.
"These are treasures, worth a lot of money." answered Shanks with growing pride in his voice "These are called Devil Fruits, and they give anyone who eats them amazing powers. But they turn them into hammers in water. Meaning, you cannot swim."
"Is that so?" asked aden with faux curiosity, as he already knew, but asked, to change the topic.
It was at this time that the door to the bar kicked in forcefully, and a group of bandits waltzed inside.
"Sorry for interupting." said the bandit leader as he walked inside.
"So these are the so called pirates. They look like idiots.
"Welcome." said Makino in a polite, yet cautious voice.
"We are bandits. We're not here to destroy your bar. We need ten barrels of saké."
"I'm sorry. But we're out of saké at the moment." said Makino politely.
"Hmm? That's strange. The pirates are drinking something....Is it water?" the bandit responded with a rude edge in his voice.
"Everything we have is out there" she said
"That's not good. We drank everything. Sorry. If you want, you can have this." said Shanks, holding a bottle towards the bandit.
The bandit then swung at the bottle, breaking it and spilling its contents all over Shanks.
"I'm a wanted man. I'm worth eight million Belli. Don't take me so lightly. " said the bandit threateningly.
"Now the floor's wet. Sorry about that Makino-san. Do you have a mop?" spoke Shanks ignoring the bandit.
The bandit, feeling insulted, swung his sword at the bar causing more mess.
"Looks like you enjoy cleaning. You will like this even more then...No point wasting time here if you don' t have any saké. Lets's go." spoke the bandit as he walked away.
"Later, cowards."
...Makino rushed over to check on Shanks still on the floor." Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere, Captain?
"No, no. I'm alright....*pfft*"
"BHAHAHHAHAHA" everyone on Shanks's crew started laughing at the situation.
"Why are you laughing!? That wasn't cool! Why didn't you fight back!?" shouted Luffy in a very upset tone.
" Luffy, calm down. Jeez, it's no big deal. You are acring like a baby" Said Aden, barely holding back a laugh of his own.
"Shut up, Aden! You are just five years older than me!" shouted Luffy, angry at his brother.
" Aden's right, Luffy. They just spilled some saké." spoke Shanks, calming down.
"I don't care anymore!" spoke Luffy angrily, and turned towards the bar, where the devil fruits sat.
Aden, seeing the opportunity, did the same.
He took the chance to look at the devil fruits. The purple one he knew well. It was the second one, that drew his gaze. Ethereal white, with sharp twisting patterns, going in a spiral from top to bottom. The fruit seemed almost too light to be solid, yet he could see it clearly, although it did seem to be floating in the chest, just above the soft fabric of the lining. The stem, solid grey going upward in a widening spiral almost like a twister.
Aden had no clue what this fruit was, as he was fairly sure no such fruit existed in the original story.
He spotted Luffy chomping down on the purple fruit next to him, so he did the same with the fruit in front of him.
"What are you two doing?" asked Shanks lightheartedly "Eating down your sorrows?"
It was the he noticed the two empty chests.
Realizing what happened, and that they ate the devil fruits, he attempted to get them to spit it out. While Shanks grabbed Luffy by his legs, holding him upside down to get him to throw up the fruit, Yassop approached Aden and pounded his fist against Adens back with the same purpose.
What noone expected was for Luffy's legs to stretch and him to smack his face against the floor. At the same time Yassop's hand simply passed through Aden as if he was not even there. Only causing a slight breeze to occur.
.
.
.
After the situation calmed down, Aden left the bar and went into the forest nearby.
Standing there in a small clearing, he looked at his hands in contemplation.
"Yassop's hand just passed through me. So that means Logia type. But what element?"
Aden thought with excited curiosity.
Deciding to test his new power, he closed his eyes and concentrated on the feeling he experienced, when Yassop couldn't touch him.
It was not as easy as he thought however. Wit almost 42 years of being a normal human(including the twelve years of his new life) he had to get the right mentality for this to work. What made this easier however, wast the fact that apparently, Devil Fruits give you a basic understanding of how to use them.
Feeling like he knew what to do now, he focused.
It took him a couple seconds to feel a change. He started to feel the slight breeze all around him, as if it was part of him. Opening his eyes, he saw, that the breeze he felt, was actually himself. He felt more than saw, that his body has turned into air, though he could still see and feel his body. Though it felt strange to be incorporeal.
"Alright. This feels weird. But kinda cool as well. I will need to start training if i want to survive long enough, to see Luffy become King of Pirates."Aden thought with reality hitting him all over again.
Turning back into his corporeal form, Aden started practicing his new-found power.
.
.
.
Hours later, when the sun was setting on the horizon, the forest clearing has been changed. Dirt has been kicked up all over the place. Trees had missing branches, seemingly broken off by strong gusts of wind. Tree trunks had shallow, but still visible cuts, as if from a slightly dull blade.
And im the middle of it all, laid an exhausted figure covered in sweat and dirt.
Breathing heavily, and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Aden sat up and took a look around.
"Not bad...for the first day...of training this power." Aden spoke quietly to himself.
Thinking he should probably head back, as to not worry his brother, Aden set off bact to the town.
.
.
.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!!?" Aden shouted, his exhaustion forgotten, as he saw Shanks with his sleeve torn, and his arm missing. Luffy stood nearby with a guilty face and Shanks's hat on his head. Looked like he cried a lot not too long ago.
"Don't worry, Aden. I'm fine." Responded Shanks with a small mysterious smile.
"Just a sacrifice for the future."
