Reincarnator

(Kairo's POV)

I slowly regained my consciousness and everything seemed blurry to me.

I heard voices, and I saw a faint outline of a woman holding a man's hand, with the man looking visibly pained.

I could not make sense of what I was hearing, so it seemed that I would have to learn a language all over again.

The woman, who I presumed to be my mother, looked towards me with a happy look, but I could faintly see her crying.

I starting crying due to the lack of air, and eventually, I grew tired and fell asleep in her warm embrace.

I did not remember a lot of my time as a toddler.

I remember my mother feeding me, and my father making jokes in an attempt to make me laugh.

I remember my family in my previous life, and what it felt like to wander millennia's without them, but I was just feeling happy at another chance to live a happy life.

My father was a Marine Lieutenant, and he was on leave to see my birth.

Over the years, I learned that Gol. D Roger has not been executed yet, which means that the Great Age of Pirates has not started.

I planned to live a happy life with my family and go out to the seas when I turned 18, but it wasn't meant to be.

On a fateful day, my island was raided by pirates. Father led the marines under his command in an attempt to repel them, but he was slaughtered by their captain, who called himself "Golden Finger Ross".

"GUARARARARA! MEN, PILLAGE THE VILLAGES! LOOT THE HOUSES, TAKE THE WOMEN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME FUN WITH 'EM!"

I was in a daze. It's not supposed to be like this. I'm supposed to grow up happily with my family, take to the seas on an adventure, find friends to explore the world, and find treasures. It's not supposed to be like this...

I was frozen in fear, and I mother attempted to hide me in the closet, but the pirates saw me.

I couldn't die, I was only 10! Barely older than what I was in my last life! I can't die here!

One of them saw me, and as he walked towards me with a cruel grin, my mother attempted to shield me. I screamed as his sword approached my neck, and the last thing I saw was my mother's clothes being taken off by the pirates.

In my second life, I vowed vengeance against pirates. I grew up in a relatively normal household, with my father being a wood maker, and my mother owning a bakery.

There was a large Marine branch on our island, headed by a Rear Admiral, so it did not seem like our home was going to be raided anytime soon.

I grew up wanting to join the Marine to complete my quest for vengeance, and when I reached 15, I enrolled in the Marine Corps. I was assigned to a training camp with Admiral Zephyr as the Head Instructor, and I saw 3 names that I remembered from the anime. "Akainu", "Borsalino", and "Kuzan".

I realized that I was in the same training camp as the 3 Admirals in the future, and so I believed that I would become at least a Vice-Admiral.

I was wrong.

There was a huge fight with Big Mom, and I was sent as cannon fodder to distract her family. I died a painful death, burning at the hands of Charlotte Oven.

In my third life, I realized that the Marines couldn't be trusted. If you do not have any potential, you will be treated as cannon fodder and sent to death.

I decided to become a pirate.

In my childhood, I trained relentlessly. I wanted to become strong enough so that I wouldn't be captured by Marines, nor would I be killed by another pirate.

No matter how much effort I put into my training, I realized that I have limited potential. I couldn't grow anymore after reaching the level of a Marine Captain.

I panicked when I realized this. A Marine Captain seemed like a strong level of power to reach, but it would be the equivalent of cannon fodder in this world.

I tried to find a way to increase my strengths, and I thought about Devil Fruits.

As long as I can find a Devil Fruit, I can develop it to its fullest potential, and stand atop of the world.

I looted islands after islands, no one could stop me. For the first time in 4 lives, I felt a sense of superiority toward others.

I became arrogant. I thought that nothing would be able to defeat me as long as I was in one of the Blue Seas, then reality hit me. I was sailing in a storm with my crew, a strong wind blew my crewmates off the ship, then the ship capsized.

When I regained consciousness, I was in a cell. The marines spat on me and said that I would be transferred to Impel Down.

I was stuck in the First Level of Impel Down for decades, and I was one of the prisoners killed by Shiryu.

In my fourth life, I vowed to change all of it. That's when I received a gift.
