Fourth Life

After being decapacitated by Shiryu, I did not panic.

I have grown accustomed to dying, although the experience was painful, Shiryu made it quick with one swift stroke.

As I was approaching the light at the end of the tunnel, my vision was blurry.

I could hear a woman screaming, and a man encouraging her.

I heard the man encourage her, "Push, Eureka, push!"

I flinched at the woman screaming, "SHUT UP NEWGATE! I AM IN THIS PAIN BECAUSE OF THAT BASTARD XEBEC! HOW DARE HE LEAVE ME WHEN I'M PREGNANT?!!?"

'Xebec? Isn't that the name of the man who fought Gol D Rogers and Garp?'

'Hold up, Newgate? Oh shit...my mom is yelling at Whitebeard!?!?'

I was panicking because I did not want to die. Whitebeard could kill me with a flick of a finger in his old age, so I would probably die if he sneezed on me right now.

'Mom, if I die right now, it would be a record for how early I died after I was reborn. Please don't make me break the record of dying at 10 after reincarnating.'

While I was panicking, the woman, Eureka, managed to push me out of her vagina.

"Whew, that was hard. Anyways, your name will be Rocks D. Kairo!"

It seems like my mother is a calm woman when she is not going through childbirth.

I belatedly realized that I was not getting air, and started gasping and crying trying to breathe, and passed out of sheer shock (due to his heritage) and exhaustion.

When I woke up, I looked at my surroundings and saw that I was on a ship.

'Wait... no way.. did Whitebeard take me with him?'

I flailed my arms and attempted to look around to the best of my abilities, and saw that I was on a small fishing boat with no one else.

'...Did I just get abandoned?'

I fainted again at that realization.

When I woke up, I was being held in the arms of a marine.

"Tsuru! Where did you get that baby?" A loud, boisterous voice boomed, making me wince due to the volume

"Shut up, Garp, the baby is sleeping right now!"

'Aw sh*t. I don't want to be cannon fodder like last time... and if someone discovers my heritage, I'm getting executed just like Ace.'

"Well, what are you going to do with him?" Garp asked Tsuru with a curious look on his face.

I was curious too.

"I'm going to put him in the orphanage at the H.Q. He'll grow up to be a marine." Tsuru said

'??? I don't even get a choice over my career? Lady, at least adopt me! I don't want to be cannon fodder again!'

I decided to think about this later, and fell asleep once more.
