Hydro woke up, face down towards the solid floor. He gaped at his current situation. That was not how he expected to wake up; having gone to sleep in his comfy mattress, he hoped to wake up to the warm sunlight hitting his face. From the lack of any warmth and prickled skin, it was clear Hydro was no longer in his precious room.

"Huh, What's going on?"

He pressed the floor beneath him with his palm, picking himself up. But what surprised him more than anything was the size of his hand, it was way smaller than his original hand. Running his hands on his chest and back, he further inspected his body; his chest seemed to be half the width and length of it's original size, same for his lower body. It was clear he was no longer in his own body, but in the body of what seemed to be a 15 year old boy.

"What the actual f*ck"

Hydro was shocked, the unfamiliar environment didn't help either.

He was clothed with two pieces of rag that exposed most of his skin to the cold environment.

He casted his gaze towards his surroundings, the room was made entirely of oak wood including the ceiling and walls. His previously owned house being entirely made out of rich glass and ceramic tiles made it abundantly clear he was no longer in his mansion.

"What the f*ck!"

Hydro shook himself to his senses and started inspecting his surrounding. He was boxed between four oak walls, and a wooden door as the only escape. As he walked around the room, he felt himself being lifted and lowered on many occasions. It was as if the room was moving.

Being an avid enjoyer of ships and boats, Hydro quickly realised he was in a ship.

"How did I get here?!"

Having watched many isekais in his past life and having enjoyed them, the answer to his question automatically arrived to him. He let out a sigh. But what annoyed him was the situation and the body he was reincarnated in.

"Fuck....Fuck...Fuck..Fuck.., God are you trying to fuck me over? I was suppose to reincarnate into the body of an MC!" Hydro cursed and screamed at the top of his lungs towards the solid wood in front of him.

Almost like a response from the heavens, he heard the creaks of footsteps pushing down on oak stairs, the intensity of the creaks gradually got louder as the person came closer in contact with Hydro.

And out of the brim light peaking through the narrow hallway, a big-boned person stepped in front, blocking the obstructive light. The said person had huge muscles and calves, similarly to his appearance, the man's attitude was a stern one.

"Oye! Kid, Get up and go back to work, or you need some motivation," the man said hinting towards his clenched fist.

"What fucking bad luck, not only was I reincarnated into a chore boy's body, now I got a muscle brain after me," Hydro thought, cursing his obscure luck.

But unlike Hydro's thoughts, he decided to follow the man's order.

Like almost any reincarnation, Hydro a few minutes later inherited the memories of the previous body's user's memories. The boy was barely 15 years old, forced to do unpaid labour as a result of getting caught by some pirates - called black eye.

This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

In the beginning, the boy wanted to free himself of his predicament, but soon gave up on his dreams as a result of getting caught multiple times in the act.

The boy ended up losing faith in his goals followed by his will to live, causing his spirit and mind to spiritually die out. Hydro, who on Earth died to the infamous truck-kun, whilst trying to do the cliché saving-the-maiden in distress act, too died at the same time. As a result the two souls exchanged places, or so Hydro thought.

ALSO HE WAS IN THE FUCKING WORLD OF ONE PIECE!!! Hydro turned a evil grin realising this fact.

Thus, Hydro knew it's best not to anger the brawn man in front of his eyes, also the beating he saw in his memories looked quite soothing to a torture fanatic.

Although he was fuming at the torture his 'current' body received, he still couldn't act upon his desires of revenge. The brawny man in front of his worn out eyes, was still far superior than Hydro in both power and skill... A person with a 10 million bounty on his head was still far superior than an average human. Unluckily, Hydro was a part of that ill fortunate weak category.

The brawny man turned a sour face as soon as he saw Hydro abiding by his complaint. He had grown rather comfortable and and almost found it enjoyable- beating Hydro black and blue.

Afterwards, the man turned his back towards Hydro's annoyed face and walked out of that shit hole that Hydro was given as a bedroom. He clicked his tongue whilst leaving, annoyed not getting the opportunity to quench his fist's 'needs', and even thought of beating up Hydro just because he turned an annoyed face towards him. But soon pushed away his fetishes as he heard the captain calling him.

Hydro opened his eyes as much as he could, still bruised from the beating his body received prior to his reincarnation. He widened his gaze towards his so-called 'bedroom' - the wooden underground cabinet was filled with more than just a rag as Hydro's bed, it was brimmed up with the ship's unused tools and even Hydro's faeces, as a result the cabinet literally smelled like shit. The previous user wasn't allowed to use the ship's uniform toilet and was forced to take a dump in his cabinet which he emptied out once a week.

"I pity this boy"

Hydro continued to follow the man's order's, cleaning up the shitty ship, the last thing he wants is another blue mark on his body.

As Hydro walked up the solid stairs, hanging onto the sidewalls as support, he heard the loud voice of the captain.

"Get ready! We are about to charge into a battle with the fucking marines again," the captain screamed, hoping to lead his crewmembers into a successful battle.

He complained his way up to the ship's deck and instead of doing his chores, Hydro stared at the sea in front of him in awe; sparking blue water in all directions. It quite literally looked like something out of a movie. The majestic water encircled the ship.

And suddenly,

BOOM!

The ship was blasted with a cannonball, blowing away at the ship's defences. Hydro fell down due this sudden blast.

And almost instinctively, all the crewmembers - ranging from scrawny to built - picked up their weapon of choice. Most picked up a sword but some chose an axe as their preferred weapon.

Hydro felt conflicted, should he be happy that this accursed ship was being attacked? or angered at the arrival of another problem? He couldn't choose.

After a battle of conflicted thoughts Hydro ended up smiling, "I can escape this ship while the crewmembers are busy with the battle," Hydro turned a bright eye towards his future.

The ship got barraged with consecutive cannon fires till eventually both the pirate and marine ship got into physical fighting range. A loud battle cry could be heard from both sides, "Die! you filthy pirates!," "You filthy marines, today is the last day you breathe human air!," both parties screamed at each other.

Hydro waited till the marines got unto the ship, keeping the scumbag pirates at bay and also providing him a chance to escape.

Hydro was deadest on escaping, he was ready to lose a limb in the act if necessary. It was quite possibly his only chance at escape. There was no way Hydro could spend his life as a chore boy on some ship. He was filled with excitement and joy. The previous owner of the body failed consecutively at his escape attempts mainly because he was ill-prepared, he intended to escape during bad moments and hence was caught.

Hydro on the other hand was smart and used this opportunity as a escape plan
