“Pepper, Carrot, Onion, how about you go in the kitchen and eat huh? I’ll tell you a story while we eat breakfast, I just need to get ready for the day.” I said, with the kindest smile I could place. It was then that I heard all three of their stomachs growl, and my smile froze as I saw their faces. They looked to the ground while holding their stomachs, and I could tell they tried to avoid looking me in the eye. That’s when what I said caught up to me.

“Usopp...we ate the last of our food last night remember? We don’t have anymore.”

They were orphans, all three of them. Honestly, thinking back on it, it makes sense. We never saw any of their parents in the manga or anime. If they had them, why would they let their kids hang around a known pirate’s child. Not only that, but Usopp was a troublemaker himself, an obvious bad influence. Why had their parent’s never stepped in? Because they didn’t have any.

Usopp found them in this abandoned building after his mother died. He needed somewhere to go and be alone, when he came upon a run down shack with 3 kinds in it sharing a stale piece of bread. Ever since that day, he’s been with them. It’s been a year since then, and he considered them his little brothers.

Almost immediately, the same feelings passed on to me. I can’t tell you whether it was because I was now in his body and took on some of his feelings or another reason, but one thing was certain, I promised myself I would protect those kids.

I jumped out of bed with gusto, and made sure to keep my smile on full blast.

“Well let’s go get some then! Don’t worry, today I have a plan, but give me time to get ready okay?”

Within moments, their smiles could almost rival mine. Nodding they left the room talking amongst themselves. My face fell immediately. A million thoughts ran through my head per second.

Why was I there? What happened to me? Did I die? I couldn’t actually remember dying though. The last thing I could recall was simply sitting in my room watching One Piece. There was no bright flash or pain, I didn’t meet any god. I was just...teleported.

I honestly still couldn’t believe it. I was in One Piece. I was going to be the Sniper of the Strawhat Pirates. I was going to battle other pirate crews and the very world itself and win.

...I was going to battle...the world. The Marines, Doflinmingo, hell even the Fishman were terrifying. I couldn’t sit there and freak out over my situation, I didn’t have the time, especially since I didn’t know where I was in the timeline.

Getting out of my bed, I walk to the dresser and open one of the droors. Sitting there in all of its glory was my slingshot. Picking it up, it felt right in my hands, like it belonged. No matter how much I looked around though, I couldn't find any money. That's gonna be a big problem.

How...How do I feel about this?
