A Life I Always Wanted

6 Months Later...

(POV Aren)

For some reason, I've been reincarnated in the world of "One Piece."

I still find it hard to believe...!

I was born on the first of December, six months have gone by since I've been born, quite a few things have happened since then...

First, I found out I was in "One piece" because my dad was Monkey D. Dragon...! Though he looked a lot younger than when in the series. He was human... I mean... He's real, not a character from a story, and he's MY father! I still can't believe it! I have parents! I finally knew what it feels like to be taken care of by your flesh and blood... Parental love... That was...until he left 3 months ago...

Second, I was born on the first half of the "Grand Line!" I didn't have words to explain what I felt, quite literally since I'm still a baby, heh. That and the fact I was born in the "One Piece" world along with being Dragon's son, stopped my windows exe. program—my mind—from working! But only for a few moments, until it rebooted again. Though, this did bring several thoughts to my head...

Anyway, the island that we were living on was called "Mountain of Strength Island," which is what my mom decided to name me after. Whenever my mom pinches my cheeks—which is always—she coos, "My little mountain of strength, Aren~! Your name means that, my special boy..." along with another definition of my name...

The island itself was beautiful. It had beautiful green expansive forests that complimented the villages around them. The vast blue ocean that could be seen from the seashore, which took my breath away when I first saw it from my mother's arms. Sure I went to a few beaches back in my original world that had an awesome view, but this one could top them off, or at least rival them. No, this one tops them all off, I am sure of it. The way the sunset painted the sky a beautiful red-orange, was truly magnificent, it still is! I have that vivid image saved in my mind.

The animal life was abundant, to say the least. I have never seen so much wildlife in one place! The island provided plenty of resources, so we never lacked anything.

However, this wouldn't be "One Piece" if the island didn't have something "quirky," right...? The trees' bark would change color depending on "how they feel..." or so my mom told me, which I found interesting. It did, however, catch me off guard how easily they change color. Honestly, I just giggled, those trees must be moody, heh.

Another thing I found interesting was how this island lacked the number of pirate visits that it had... Well, pirate raids, that is. That's because the island has a natural camouflage surrounding it which makes the island seem small, which in turn leads pirates into thinking that it's not an abundant island. And if pirates did come and raid or rest here, they would be dealt with by "Watchdog Village," which, obvious by its name, they protect the island.

[A/N: Imagine the barrier from the Island Diana came from (Wonder Woman) but instead of it keeping the island hidden from sight, it, from the outside, shows a small island]

They would leave no pirate alive because word would spread of an island that has abundant resources... That would of course lead to disaster, so it was better to leave none the wiser...

Overall, the island was an amazing and interesting place to be at... Though I have it in my heart because, well, it's my birthplace in this new world. Though I still don't know how I got here, I am grateful because I have a second chance at life in a world built out of imagination that I've always dreamed about being in.

On top of a small hill was where our house was located at. It was white in color with a brown roof, adorned with red streaks here and there. Two floors with a lot of space on each one. Four windows, two for the front and the sides on each floor. A typical, normal village house... I think...

However, there are some worries I have: One, I was near my best friend Skylar, my cat, when I died, oh where could he be? I hope he's alright... Second, dangers exist in this world beyond that of a normal human's imagination, except Oda, that man is truly on another level. How will I survive? Will I train? Third, I know the storyline of "One Piece," but I don't have a good grasp on what time I was born in, the only clue I have was seeing my dad's young face. I'll have to research more... Fourth, of course, by me being here will change the storyline, a lot. So, I'll have to see... There are a few more, but these are the main ones. Man am I worried for a 6-month-old baby!

*swwwiiiIIIISHHH*

*crrraaaAAAACKKK*

That's so awesome!

This isn't a simulator, is it? I hope not, because I'm watching my mom train with her katana, and boy, she's awesome! Everything looks so...real... I really can't explain it... This was...or...is an anime show based on a manga created by one of my favorite authors - Eiichiro Oda or goda - but, now, it looks so real... It's truly amazing!

If only my dad were here...

He left 3 months ago because he had "things" he had to take care of which I heard from my mom's arms. Though I knew that those "things" were the revolutionary army itself, though, I believe he was still creating the army itself. My mom didn't know exactly what my dad was doing, he was secretive. However, she found out what he had been truly hiding when she got a newspaper - like she usually did - saying that my dad had done some things...

This incident frustrated my mom so much that she packed our things and moved that same day! "How dare he lie to me!?" she screamed that day, she was...mad - no, pissed!

We went aboard a ship named "La Parisa" that was built by one of the villages and headed to "Clam Island." She borrowed the ship, yup, totally borrowed it... She stole it. I can't believe nobody stopped her! She literally just glanced and they stopped trying to convince her to stay!

It was me, my mom, and the woman who helped during my birth - Emma. Before we left, though, she destroyed the house we stayed at to make my dad feel bad... Though I didn't think that would make him feel bad because that same day, I saw Emma send a little note tied to the leg of a bird that was headed somewhere... I was in my baby crib while my mom was making some food in the kitchen of the ship.

Anyways, I am really glad to be here!

A life I always wanted...

[A/N: Have any ideas for me to add? Let me know.]
