Somewhere in the world, far away from a city or a civilization, a teenager, barely 18 years old, is sitting in front of a stack of old one piece mangas. He is smaller and skinnier than a teenager at his age should be, and dressed only in a big worn out grey t-shirt and shorts. His ankles and wirsts are chained up to the wall, however he has enough freedom to move his arms and legs.
He is reading the end of One Piece, where the Straw Hat Pirates reach their destination, the finale Island Raftel. His cold black eyes starts to get warmer and there is a spark of joy to see. He yearns after the world of one piece, a world of adventure, freedom and joy.
Closing the manga, he gathers up his courage and grabs with both hands his self built knife, only to point it at his throat. God forgive me my sins, I only wanted to be free. FREEDOM! were his last thought, shortly after he slit his throat and bled to death.

Kaiser's POV:
Where am I?
It is so dark and I cant feel my body.
Is this what comes after your death? Is this the afterlife?
There is something bright at the end of this darkness and from there are coming nois... before I could finish my thought, something pulled me towards the source of light. A warm feeling surrounds me and the strengh of light does not allow me to open my eyes without the pain. Furthermore, the noise from the surroundings confuse my senses.
Ow, something hit me on my buttlocks. STOP IT! IT HURTS!
I tried to inform the world of my pain, only to hear a cry out of my mouth. Where is my voice? What happened to it? In the next moment, I felt a pleasantly warm feeling in my body, which puts me in a deep sleep.
The next days, I could not remember, because I only woke up for short period to satisfy my hunger.
One morning, my body woke up and before I could open my eyes, I heard a bell sound ringing in my mind and blue screen appeard in front of me.
System loaded. "Welcome in the world of One Piece"

Huh? I thought surprised. So, I can get skills by doing certain acts. If I understand my situation correctly, then I was reborn into the word of One Piece with a gaming elements. I never played any games in my past life, but I saw enough to know that a status screen has more attributes, for example: STR, VIT, DEX, INT, WIS et cetera. Why does my status screen not have these things?
After thinking a while, I come to the conclusion that my gaming element are slimmed down version of a real gaming system. What's more there are no further function like an inventory and other things. The only additional function is the shop. I think about opening the shop and a new screen appears in front of me.

Let's take a look at the Devil Fruits that this shop offers.
Devil Fruits Name Type Prices Akki Akki no Mi P 3 billion Berry Ame Ame no Mi L 15 billion Berry ... Gura Gura no Mi P 100 billion Berry ... Hie Hie no Mi L 85 billion Berry ... Magu Magu no Mi L 90 billion Berry ... Pika Pika no Mi L 80 billion Berry ... Yami Yami no Mi L 100 billion Berry ...
My eyes opened wide enough for them to jump out, when I saw these prices for a Devil Fruit. How...No, Why..are the prices... so HIGH?, I stutter in my thoughts. Before I could freakt out, my skill Gamer's Mind suppressed my feelings to calm my mind.
These prices are so high, even Celestial Dragon will have money problems for buying a Devil Fruit out of this shop. No pirate on the sea had this much money. Maybe Luffy had this much money, but only after becoming the Pirate King and finding the One Piece. Some Devil Fruits are not even purchasable because they already have a user.
I continue to browse through the various Devil Fruits and notice that the cheapest Devil Fruit costs 100 million Berry, because the only reason is that it is truly useless.
After a while, I closed the shop and sighed because the prices frustrated me. Now, that my hope of an easy way to get my favourite Devil Fruit died, I just lay there on my back and looked into the distance.
While I was lost in thoughts, I did not notices that my parents are already awake and looking at me.
"********* Kaiser", says my mom and a sound catches my attention.

Oh, I forgot that I could not understand the language of inhabitants of One Piece.
"I *********** Kaiser" says my dad and a new screen pops out.
You increased you skill: Language of the world One Piece (2%)
I understand. I only have to listen to some conversation to increase my language skill and a smile appears on my face.
At the same time, my mom grabs me and carrys me to the kitchen, where I am placed in a chair, specially designed for a baby. I looked aroung the table and saw four person. My mother, Jagger D. Maria, has shiny black hair with ocean blue eyes and pale skin, because she is not very often outside. But she is still a beautiful woman. She is not very tall, maybe 1.70 meter and looks to be in her mid-twenties. My father, Jagger D. Roy, is a big man with a height of 2 meter and very muscular. If I did not know better, I would mistake him for a braun grizzly bear, because he has chestnuts brown hair and a full beard of the same color. Even his eyes are braun. How is it possible to have so much brown
I am surprised, because I have 2 older siblings, an older sister and an older brother. I do not know what it is like to have siblings, because in my past life I was an only child and always alone. But now, I can experience the feeling of having two older siblings playing, sharing and protecting me.
My brother, Jagger D. Mike, has his looks from our father. He looks exactly like him, however he is more lean than bulky and has no beard. He still a small kid around the age of 10.
Fortunately, my sister, Jagger D. Maria, has her looks from our mother with her shiny black hair and blue eyes. The only difference between mom and Maria is that Maria's skin is more tanned because she is often playing outside. But this is normal for a 8 year old girl.
I, Jagger D. Kaiser, am lucky that I look more like my mom than my dad. I have also shiny black hair with ocean blue eyes and pale skin. Because of my looks, many people mistake me for a girl.
Thinking a lot is tiring this small body of me very fast and I can feel how the tiredness overhelms me. My eyelids are getting heavier and heavier before I start to sleep.#
