Chapter 2- My Life
My name is irrelevant, who I was is irrelevant, what I did was irrelevant.
I would not consider myself a genius, I never said I was.
I was but a tiny human among billions of them living in the world, I wasn't highly intelligent, My intelligence was probably only a bit Above Average. I didn't have any problem, except for maybe me being a Control Freak.
I always looked up in the sky and thought how big the world was, but I could only explore the tiny part of a place before I was taken away from the place never able to achieve my goals.
So, when I was reborn I was happy before I realize where I was, I was in a world where a single person's strength can decide the fate of a country or even the world, I was just scared would be an understatement.
I am not a fool, that will imagine that he can defeat everyone with my luck alone, or can train to be the strongest, I was unable to do it in the past world which seems like an easy mode compared to this world where the Rules of Jungle still rule. The world doesn't work that way.
I was scared because this world was the world of One Piece, where Corruption is rampant, People are so strong that they can destroy the world with their body power alone and the Devil Fruits grants even a normal person the ability to destroy a county alone if the fruit is strong enough.
In my past world, while there was corruption, while there were tyrants, while there were psychopaths in a position of power, it didn't affect me. I was a normal human, probably with slightly higher intelligence and Control Freak but still a human working for the betterment of society, and the society in return provided me with basic protection.
I was in a completely neutral position and there was a very good balance in the world, where people in power kept each other in check and us normal people kept them in check from doing something very bad as a single mistake can change the whole life of someone life politically and economically in both good and bad way. If some boundary were overstepped, that person or group would be killed by their rivals, and the world was in a power balance where tipping in a scale could cause hundreds to millions of death and harm.
But now here I am, in a world filled with both wonder and mysteries.
A world already with its rulers and various organization for its own purpose.
World Government was built for the betterment of Celestial Dragons.
Pirates wanted wealth, money, and power while a selected few wanted freedom.
Marine wished for the betterment of people but was filled with worms that only wished to leech of the world.
And Revolution Army wished to Revolt against the World Government hoping to create a world free of Discrimination and Hypocrisy.
And now here I was born exactly 55 years before the start of Canon, born in 1467 before the creation of Revolutionary Army, before the Pirate King even set sail, before even the creation of Rocks Pirates.
Here he was born in a world that was covered in 90% water, a place filled with Greed, Freedom, and Desire.
? POV
I was scared suddenly finding myself in a world I considered fiction, I was just a bit scared would be an understatement.
I don't know how many times I questioned my existence if I was real or someone's imagination.
Still, I was alive, and that what matters. I was currently 11 years old, but as my body started to slowly develop, I remembered my past life and after seeing the newspaper of the world, I learned I was not in a completely unknown world.
I wasn't born a human but something more. I had White fur and Black Stripes all over my body, I had claws instead of fingers and I Had Gills on my neck that looked like Claw marks in my neck.
After many researches and threating my biological mother, I knew what I was.
I was a mistake born from a Mink who decided it was a good idea to have unprotected sex with a mer-women.
I was born an accident and Mixed races are not common, many of the cases didn't exist due to the races being of different species but even when there is some exception most of them die before they even reach a few months, and here I was already an 11 years old child.
My Biological father according to her and his appearance was probably a Mink with Tiger Ancestry, and My Biological mother was a Fishmen with Great White Shark Ancestry.
It took me 2 years to find this information, and the knowledge from Anime, Manga also helped me finding out my ancestry.
I was currently in a Fishman District in Fishmen Island 10,000 meters below Sea level after being discarded by my mother just after being born, living under constant abuse, bullying, and daily flights, which send to the death door more time than I could count.
I fought to survive all my present life, sometime I wish to just give up but, my body's heart doesn't.
Being born different was a mistake and everyone wanted to show it to me and I wasn't going to take humiliation without a fight, before I even gained my memory living was a struggle.
Food being hard to find, I fought for it. For survival, I took my first kill when I was only 5-year-old.
Probably due to my ancestry and being half a Great White shark, I had a very strong body and terrifying Vitality to go along with it and it wasn't easy for others to win against me, despite my age.
I lost count of how many times I was beaten Black and Blue, how many times I retreated after being stabbed and Slashed with swords, but I returned back stronger and more experienced with every setback.
From the moment I was born, it was a battle for survival, and I took full advantage of my strong body. I fought and fought and here I was, already strong enough to be one of the bosses in Fishman District.
I confronted my Biological Mother after I secured my position as a boss, to find her was a bit difficult but there are very few Great White on Fishman Island and finding her with her age and time frame was laborious but not an impossible task.
After finding out about her, I forced her to tell me about myself, and the information above is the result of the investigation.
After I was one of the Bosses in the Fishman District, I started training, I knew what kind of monster lives in this world and even they will be killed if they are unlucky.

1480
It's been 13 years since I arrived in this world, and I can say I am a monster.
I don't know if it is due to my ancestry of something, but currently, my body which just entered its teenage years but here I stood, I don't know if it is due to my training, ancestry or my diet or even all of them together but, currently I stood at the height of 6 feet 7 inches.
I guess I was lucky being born in as a creature stronger than human, with the potential of Minks and Fishman, Able to Control Lightening and also breath Underwater.
And with the training I did, I learned Fishman Karate from my subordinates, learned how to control my Claws, and increase my strength by doing Push Up, Pull Up, and more constantly breaking my limit and overcoming them.
I can control my claws and can make them sharper or dull depending on my wish. I learned Fishman Karate and can control Water in a massive way, I can imagine what this Style will do in my future as my strength increases.
Due to my Vitality, I would be back stronger and healthier than ever the next day, even when I slept well all my stamina and energy down to 0, even when my body was injured bruised, and bleeding, I would wake up full healed.
It was a broken Vitality, but I abused it. Constantly breaking my limits, and overcoming them, I grew stronger and stronger securing my position as a beast in this lawless land before I even hit puberty which I didn't know Fishmen/Minks Hybrid had, becoming one of its bosses.
I don't know why I did all this training, but I guess the future scares me, and having the ability to change it makes it easier to focus.
Today I was going to the surface to face the challenge and probably join the Rocks Pirates.
While the [One-piece World] didn't properly give the proper timelines, I was able to know that the Rocks Pirate were formed around 1480 in the "Hachinosu" also known as Pirate Island after a man name "Xebec D Rocks or Rocks D Xebec" challenged and won against various pirate groups in a match of Davy jones, successfully joining various dangerous pirates with the hopes of World Domination.
The Crewmember included Big Mom, Kaido, Golden Lion Shiki, Whitebeard, and other peoples each filled with strength and ambition to rule the world.
3 of the 4 Emperors in the past came from this crew, and it would have been 4 if Golden Lion hadn't been defeated by Roger.

Looking at the gate that leads to the Sea I looked behind me to the Fishman Island one last time and said to my subordinate "Let's go, Bob, it's our time to shine."
Following me was a Dolphin fish-man, he was a wonderful navigator and the only person I was talking with me on the journey.
"Yes, Boss" I could hear uncertainness from his voice, he was after all leaving his house for an unknown land.
But who cares about feelings of cannon folder. If I didn't value his Navigation skills, he would have been killed years ago, I saved him and gave him my protection, his life depends on my decision and currently, he is very helpful to me.
From a few news brokers and newspapers, I learned that a group of strong pirates was gathering in the Pirate Island, and I knew the time I was waiting for was here.
Keeping my thoughts to myself, I said to him "Come we have a little over a month to reach our destination."
Saying this I called a group of White Shark for our travel. White Sharks are known the best for their stamina and for their ability to travel a long distance without getting tired making a very good mount for long travels in Ocean.
Sitting in the White Shark located in the Middle, I looked as Bob who was in the front of this School of fish constantly gave instruction to the Whale Shark to travel in a route, which included traveling from many Underwater Current, or detouring the Underwater Current that tried to take us in another direction.
Even with us traveling nearly 1000 Miles every day, it still took us around 28 days of constant travel to reach our destination.
With such a big distance you can see the size of this world, and how big this world really is. Even if you travel at full speed for 100 years you won't be fully able to revolve around the Planet, that's how big this world is, and that is not considering the Natural disaster and other Sea Storms that can sink the boat quite easily like shown what happened to Golden Lion Shiki.
-
After 32 days of travel, including the rest time, uncertain weather, and other problems we reached our destination.
I didn't have to do many things except a few times fighting the Seakings that came near us or hunt some Sea Animals for food.
That's was due to the Navigation of my current Travelling Guide, if he wasn't here then the trip would have probably have taken quite a long time, it also showed me how important a good Partner and Navigator are in this world.
-
Arriving on the Island, the moment we stepped on it, it was chaos.
Just 5 minutes in, we were attempted to be robbed 3 times, I saw 10 murders, 1 kidnapping, and 1 Pirate Crew of 30 men's taken as slaves.
Probably due to my savage Aura and bloodthirsty bearing with my different looks, many people didn't try to attack us, and those who did were killed swiftly.
Arriving in the Bar located in the center of the town I looked around for any people I know from my memory or through bounty poster.
Seeing no one interesting, I said to the bartender "Two Mug of Rum and 2 Barrel of Beers"
Sitting with my Navigator I tried to listening to the various talk going around me while sipping the beer in my hands.
While most of the talks were about whore and their new booty/treasure, a particular piece of information interested me.
"Do you hear, Edward Newgate and Golden Lion Shiki fought yesterday, it is said that more than 160 people died in their crossfire." A random Cannon Folder said to his friend.
"Of course, it created a very big commotion, I was Balls deeps in a whore, and bam, it felt as if I was hit in the head with a hammer due to the shock wave. I heard thousands of people were injured."
"I know right, are these people even humans. It is said that they both have a bounty over a Billion Belli/Berries, damn they truly are monsters."
"I don't know about Shiki, but I am sure Whitebeard is a giant or a half-giant, the bastard is more than 20 feet in height (Whitebeard is 666 cm in height, it equals to 21.85 feet or 6.66 meters)"
"I also heard that few of the strong newcomer and supernova are coming together on this island. The demon Charlotte Linlin is also said to arrive here in a few days according to my informant."
The random Cannon Folder and his friend constantly talked about different people and what they should eat, or sleep with tonight.
"Bob, go get us two rooms, we are to wait here for a few days," I said to my navigator.
Nodding his head, he headed towards the counter arranging us rooms to stay as I waited for the Myth to appear.

1 week
*Boom*
"Damn bastard who picked a fight with this fucking hybrid. Quickly call the captain we can't fight against this beast alone." A random guy bleeding from his head said to his equally injured friend.
"Who said I will let you leave after you interrupting my peaceful drinking time," I said to these 2 men group, they were my 15 victims, it seems being different in the Fishman island wasn't the only place they took offense to. After arriving here, due to my exotic appearance, even with my Bloodthirsty aura, there was more than a dozen kidnapping attempt on me.
Most of them suffered the same fate and departed this world.
"Damn you, Hybrid bastard, don't force us. Our captain is a Pirate with the bounty of 300 Million, I really hope you have considered the consequence after attacking us." A random cannon folder said, how stereotypical they could get.
"And you're the 10th person that boasted his captain's might before I killed him just in this week alone, can't you people find something original. Bring your captain and die along with him, if you want to show me your superiority." I said in a bored tone, before twisting the man's head like a bottle cap, decapitating him and his friend.
As I was about to head back to the bar to continue drinking, I heard a burst of laughter behind me.
There he Stood Golden Blond hair reaching his ass, Sharp eyes, a cigar in his mouth, and two swords in his waist, looking around as if he was the King of the world and all of us were peasant waiting for his order.
I looked at him as the man laughed and said in a dominating tone "Well said, young man Hahahaha!!! I really like your style, what do you say join me in my crew, I have a place for a strong kid like you in my ship. Come with me to rule the world."
Looking at the Golden hair guy who looked in his late twenties or early thirties, I considered his offer for a second before a smile appeared on my face.
"Oh, so you want me to join Shiki, I don't mind joining you, if I am the Captain of the ship that is," I said in an equally arrogant tone.
Golden Lion's smile didn't flatter but increased even more. "Oh, so you have ambition kid, but such ambition isn't something someone as weak as you to say."
Then as if time had stopped I felt the surrounding slow down and at the moment before realizing I was pressured in all direction by his willpower.
I knew what it was, after all, I also had it.
Boom
2 Willpowers clashed, producing cracks all over our surroundings.
The very earth seems to stop as if waiting for the Kings to finish their fight before starting to revolve.
Surprised Shiki said, "It seems kid I have been underestimating you."
As our very nature around us broke itself, everyone nears us, including my crewmate Bob, fainted.
I was able to unleased Conqueror Haki when I was 9 when I was nearly killed by a group of the mob, but still with pure luck and my monstrous Vitality I was able to survive before, but then I was surrounded with no path left for retreat, then in desperation I was able to unlock my Conqueror Haki, causing all of them to be unconscious, I didn't know how to train it, but it grew in strength and after 4 years of having it, it is very strong.
Looking at Shiki I could feel my Haki wasn't as strong as him, passively fighting against him with pure willpower only will make me lose sooner.
I dashed towards him, with my Claws already out, arms fully covered in Black.
Boom, before I knew it my nails and his swords clashed.
The very earth seems to roar in pain.
The Sky split, the Land started to quake, our surroundings started to produce crack.
BOOM
BOOM BOOM
In the span of 3 seconds, we clashed more than 10 times before, Shiki sends a massive Sword Qi towards me forcing me to back off to the side, dodging it.
BOOM
BOOM
My Claws and his Sword clashed, I knew when I was in the pinch.
Not a minute in, I can feel I Haki Draining in a massive amount, and can see my Claws slightly bleeding.
Looking at Shiki, I ran towards the sea, where he followed.
Jumping inside the sea, as soon as I could hear his laughter, "Ha-ha kid, don't think I will let you go so easily. I seem to have Overestimated you, I didn't think I saw a coward when I found you."
I knew he was right, and I should retreat as he was strong and while I can probably fight against a pirate with 500 Million Berries in Land, 1 Billion Pirate was over my capability.
But that's it, on Land I can fight a 500 Million pirate but on the sea, my strength increases massively.
Feeling the water touch my skin, I felt my strength replenish. I started to gather the water in the Sea, using Fishman Karate, I send a massive column of waves toward him.
Shiki was shocked but quickly being a veteran pirate, he swiftly responded by using his Floating fruit to fly high in the sky.
The debris he touches started to move towards me trying to attack me, but on water, I was a true king.
Dodging them at a speed, nearly invisible to the naked eye, I send a massive amount of Water Bullets towards him while sending a geyser of water trying to capture him in the water, with Waves that reached more than 40 m in height.
BOOM
BOOM
I continued to send a massive amount of water to attack him, while constantly jumping up from the water as a bullet myself and clashing with Shiki in the sky, which I quickly regretted with how easily he was able to receive my attack.
From the water, I continued to deliver massive waves of attack before retreating in the water facing his sword qi slash and continue repeated my attack once more trying to attack in long-range.
He Controlled Debris in the surroundings to attack me which I easily dodged, he also gathers Water to trap me, but a punch took care of it.
I knew I couldn't beat him in a head-on confrontation but Pirates play to their advantage and mine was being able to breathe underwater and control water using Fishman Karate.
Him being a devil fruit User makes him weaker in water/seas and with the world covered in 90% water, it wasn't an understatement when the Fishmen boasting that they were the true ruler of the world.
-
The battle between Shiki and our MC was a sight to behold.
One was in the sky raining water, soil, and even thunder down in the sea, while another was sending a column of water and water bullets while constantly attacking by jumping or trying to drown his opponent.
The Battle lasted 4 hours before, we came to a silent agreement of letting each other be.
I couldn't beat him and if I had a chance, it will take a long time of Gruella Tactic on attacking and Retreating and Attacking, and repeating it again and again.
Shiki was unable to stop or deliver a strike that could injure me in a single strike.
Similarly, I was unable to attack him in the sky and he was unable to attack in the Sea, and sea being his weakness, he was unable to exert his full power.
And with my terrifying Vitality, my stamina regenerated faster than him, and fighting long battle was my forte.
Shiki retreated, and I came out of the water a bit tired but still full of vitality.
Before Shiki fully retreated, he said in a domineering tone "Kid I didn't get your name."
With Adrenaline still coursing through my veins and still willpower to fight him, I said "RAHU!!! Remember it because I will take your head off your shoulder if you talk to me in that tone next time we speak."
With that domineering word, I left the scene.
Going towards the pub, I walked as the crowd parted to make the way, their eyes full of fear, awe, greed, and respect as they looked toward me.
Sitting in the chair that was just a minute ago was occupied, I drank and eat to my heart's content as Bob continued to deliver me food and beer to replenish my lost energy.
