In a fairly expensive apartment, you could find a handsome young man in his mid-twenties wearing a reasonably expensive suit, sitting on the couch as he argues with a person online with an ID 'IamRoB' on a very important topic... which one is better, Quirk or Devil Fruit?
Of course, he being a mature member of society, firmly stands on Devil Fruits' side, as he preaches to the ignorant one the glory of Devil Fruits.
[... and that is why the devil fruits are more powerful and have higher potential than quirks] the young man sends the message before drinking his coffee while waiting for his reply.
[Ding]
Just as the 'IamRoB' reply came, a call from his secretary came simultaneously.
Looking at the time, the young man realized he was late for work, which was not a big deal, but since she had called, why not pick it up?
"What happened, Gina? Why did you call?" the young man asked in a calm voice.
Gina didn't answer his question, instead asked one himself, "Where are you right now, Dan?"
While moving toward his bedroom to pick up some case files, Dan answered, "In my apartment, Gina. And before you say it, I have some work that I have to attend to. That's why I am late."
"And it has nothing to do with you arguing with someone over something online, right?" A different female voice said in a tone full of amusement.
"Jenny, my all-time favorite boss, what brings you down to my office?" Dan asked in a cheerful tone after hearing his boss's question.
"Butter up someone else, Dan. I asked you a question were you doing it or not?"
After a brief pause, Dan confessed, "Fine, I was arguing with an idiot about something."
Jenny replied in a frustrated voice, "Goddamn it, Dan!"
"How often have I told you not to do it, especially when it's work time? You were supposed to have an important meeting with your client Josh this morning, but you didn't show up. In the end, I have to handle him."
"But he still, in the end, said that if his own lawyer cannot meet him on time, then maybe he should change his lawyer."
"Shit! Josh. Don't worry, Jennifer, I will handle him," Dan replied while walking down the stairs to the main entrance.
"You better because this is the last time I am letting you off the hook. If you do something like this again, it doesn't matter if you are my best lawyer. I will fire you," Jenny said before closing the call.
After the call ended, Dan closed his phone, completely disregarding the threat Jenny made and forgetting about the message sent by 'IamRoB' while exiting the apartment building.
.
Around 10 p.m., Dan stepped back into his apartment with a tired look on his face.
After a full day of running around, meeting with clients, and in the end, having dinner with Josh to explain the reason why he missed the meeting. (and, of course, he lied about the reason, one can't tell a client that he is less significant than an online argument with someone he doesn't even know)
Dan was completely tired and wanted nothing more than to sleep on his bed right now.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
After changing clothes, Dan fell onto his bed with a sigh of relief, as if he was about to gain what he most desired.
But the moment he touched the bed, he was immediately transported to a completely different place.
Still in his sleepwear, Dan was now sitting on a wooden chair in front of a large table and a big golden chair.
"What the..." The rest of the words stop in his mouth as a being made of light manifest on the golden chair.
The light particles began to disappear one by one from his body as her female form appeared in front of Dan.
"Welcome, Daniel Specter," the female being said, "do you know the reason why you are here?"
Dan looked at her before replying in a polite tone, "Maybe because I die and you are either here to judge me or..."
"No, you didn't die in your world or anything." Being said while waving his hand in dismissal.
"Oh! Then may I know the reason why I am summoned here in front of you?" Dan asked.
"You seriously don't remember anything?"
"No clue here, but I think maybe you picked the wrong person," Dan said in a calm voice.
"I am ROB, and I didn't pick the wrong person," ROB said in a frustrated tone.
"Yeah, I knew that from the start, Miss ROB, but it still doesn't make clear why I am here."
The ROB put his palm forward, and a phone appeared with an account already open, with ID 'IamRoB' on it.
"See, I am ROB."
Looking at the ID, Dan remembered his argument with a person with the same ID name.
"Wait, you are the person I was arguing with this morning?" Dan asked while trying to remain calm, but ROB could see that he was feeling frightened.
"Yes, I am, and now you remember, we should move to the next part..."
"Wait, wait, wait, if this is about the message I didn't read and reply to it, then I am sorry, but I will do it right now," Dan said hastily while taking out his phone.
ROB waved his hand, and his phone was in his disappeared. "There is no need for it now as I already know how to get my answer, and Dan, you are going to help with it."
"What I mean is that I would love to help you out, but I don't think I would be much of a help in it."
Hearing his reply, ROB didn't look so happy as she said, "Don't try to weasel your way out of this, Dan. It is my way or the highway, now."
Dan put both his hands up in surrender. "Fine, I will help you out."
"Don't make such a face. You will also enjoy this a lot,"
"What I mean is that I will send you to One Piece world, and don't worry, you will also get a cheat of your own called My Quirk System."
"But just so you remember, you can't eat the devil fruit because of it, okay?"
Without giving him a chance to think, ROB attached the system to Dan and sent all the information about it to his brain.
The system only has four functions, Stats, Spin, Inventory, and Upgrade, and the currency it runs on is beri of the world of one piece.

"Now, before I send you into that world, I want to say a few words. Remember, just like there is no bad fruit, only bad user, there is no bad quirk, only bad user," ROB said in a passionate voice.
But Dan destroyed the whole mood with the following remarks: "but what about the quirks that only give an extra toe or extra finger to a person?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"What? I just asked a legit question?" Dan said before he disappeared in a flash of light.
Looking at the place Dan was standing before, ROB muttered angrily, "and just for that, I will cancel his starter pack."
After a brief silence, a dark shadow appeared at his side. "Was this all really necessary?"
ROB looked toward the shadow and replied, "Yes, it was."
"But you don't have to create all this unnecessary drama. You could simply send him there."
"Perhaps..."
