Chapter 1

Darkness, that was all he could see as my body floated in what seemed to be an empty void.

He drifted around on and on for what seemed like hours before something happened. Music, he can hear music. Desperate to get out of this void, he inched closer and closer to the music. And as he grew closer other sounds could be heard and it was something I hadn't heard in a while ...

Laughter

Moving closer to the sounds his eyes opened up and his vision was then blinded by a blinding light coming and his body felt something soft, smooth and hard.

It was carpet, he was lying on a carpet.

Realizing that he am lying on the ground I picked myself up and allowing his vision to adjust itself to the light, before looking at his surroundings. There he was standing on a balcony of what seemed like a ballroom. He could also tell that I was on a ship since he could feel the small rocking of the ship caused by the waves and the windows out only showed the view of the open sea. 'Where the hell am I ' they young man thought to himself.

seeing the unfamiliar surroundings the young man looked around frantically before taking a closer look at himself. There he stood with light brown-skinned black short wavy hair, and an average masculine face standing at 188 cm with a large build while wearing a blue shirt with the sleeves folded up to my forearms, white undershirt, slightly baggy black jeans, and brown leather boots.

'Ok, it doesn't look like I was robbed or hurt for that matter.' he commented seeing that his belongings were still on him and his body is unharmed. Still unsure of where he is, he started walking around the ballroom passing through people dancing and mountains of food, which strangely didn't entice his appetite. Shortly before moving on to something else, his eyes landed on a familiar sight. An orange headed female which he felt he has seen before. Curious as to her identity he resolved himself to get her attention, but before he was able to someone barge into the ballroom in panic, causing everything to stop.

"Pirates are here," the newly arrived stranger said between gasps of air.

"My good sir, Are you alright? And what did you say?" I asked a party guest concerned and curious.

Hearing the guest question the man repeated what he said by screaming "Pirates, they are comin-"

Before he could finish the sentence, he was abruptly interrupted by a huge explosion and an impact that rocked the whole boat. The impact tumbled forced everyone to tumble or fall. Trying to make sense of the situation our protagonist ran directly to the nearest window to get a better view. To his shock, he was met with the sight of a white and pink ship with a duck figurehead. The ship also sported a pirate flag with the skull looking sideways with a heart in the middle. But most shocking of all was the obese iron mace wielding woman standing on the pirate ship.

"What the hell?" he muttered, while my mind was full of questions. Recalling everything he has seen until now the ballroom in the boat, the orange-haired woman and lastly the obese women wielding the iron mace, he was now 100% that he had been transported to the One Piece universe. Realizing this his confused look changed to pure excitement before freezing to pinch himself. 'It's not a dream! I can't believe this! I am in the One Piece Universe' he exclaimed in his mind 'But how did I get here anyway?'.

Seeing the current situation he shooked his head to snap himself out of it before focusing on the situation at hand. 'This is the ship Alvida attacks in the first episode as Nami is present, so I got two options here either I go with Nami or go and meet Luffy and get out of here with him.' he thought to himself as he took a deep breath to further calm himself down before continuing his thought 'Knowing Luffy it is easier for me to convince him to take me out of here. It is decided then let's meet up with Luffy. So if I am going to meet Luffy it is best that go to the pantry, was it?'

Having roughly decided on his goal our protagonist sneaked my way to the ship's ballroom and made he was around the pantry which I assumed to be in the lower level of the ship.

'Is it too late to turn back, now?' he questions himself in his decision tired after 2 minutes of running around the hallways of the ship he still hasn't found the pantry. Luckily enough no one noticed him on the way and now standing in a wall. As our hero was contemplating whether to turn back, sounds of footsteps landed on his ears from around the corner. Acting quickly, I entered he ran silently around the corner and entered the nearest door. Luckily for our hero, the door that he entered led him to the place he was looking for an along, the pantry. Seeing this he exhaled before taking further refuge in a room of the pantry containing fruits of different kinds. He also left the door slightly open to be able to see what his happening outside.

It only took a little while before our hero saw the familiar sight of a pink-haired four-eyed young boy rolling a barrel into the pantry. 'Thank god I wasn't too late to witness this' the boy though in excitement before continuing'So that's the barrel containing Luffy?'

Before our hero could think anymore his train of thought was stopped as three more people entered the pantry while approaching Coby.

"Oi Coby, why are sneaking around for?" One of the pirates asks and noticing the barrel he continued "You weren't thinking on taking this for yourself were you?"

"Nonono, I would never think of hiding this from any of you guys," said Coby skittishly.

"Good, because I'm getting kind of thirsty, and this barrel would do fine on filling me up." the pirates say, and his two crewmates chuckled in agreement.

"Wait, but won't Alvida get mad if she figured out, we took a barrel without her permission." Coby tried to reason.

"Don't worry." The pirate grinned as he intimidated Coby "She won't know if you don't open your mouth, are we clear?"

Hearing the threat Coby nodded his head in fear while backing away from the barrel.

"Alright, boys Imma gonna bust this barrel open, are you ready?" said the pirate as he raised his arms up into the air preparing to break open the top of the barrel.

Seeing the iconic moment, our hero watched more intensely than ever.

As the pirate brought his fist down, a person wearing a familiar attire suddenly emerged from the barrel.

"Ahhh! That was a great nap!" said an excited and cheerful voice while emerging from the barrel. As the boy emerges from the barrel a stray piece of wood made it through the small opening of the door our hero was standing by hitting him in the head. An impact that surprised him and made him fall back into a bag of fruits.

### BREAK ###

"What the hell?" yelled the other two pirates in shock.

The boy that emerged from the barrel seeing the unconscious pirate turned to the two pirates and said, "Hey, You shouldn't leave your friend on the ground."

"Who the hell do you think did that to him!" the two yelled back as the took out their swords "We will show you, bitch!"

Witnessing their actions, the boy responded with "I wouldn't do that if I were you"

Ignoring the warning the two pirates and decided to attack and attempt which ended with their swords broken and the two running for their lives.

Having watched everything unfold Coby looked at the boy in shock and asked, "Who are you?"

"Shishishi, Me? I am Monkey D. Luffy. And I am going to become the King of the Pirates. Who are you?"

"C-Coby" Cony whimpered as he said his name. But before their conversation continued Lucy turned her head towards me with Coby following thereafter.

But before the two could continue, loud barf was heard from behind a door near them. Curious about what was making the sound they both opened the door.

Opening the door they saw a tall young man hunkering down spitting while holding an eaten weird grey colored patterned fruit on his right hand. Seeing them both looking directly at him and that his mouth tasted like shit, the only thing that came out of the young man was a sheepish "Uh-oh, Hello there"
