Hey there I am back and though well I am about to...lets say I want to play a game...

Hidden across my stories/fanfic are various clues leading to well a secret...yeah I know not good...anyway for some guys who will be unnamed that's your question to start reading, here you go...to find everything or nothing perhaps.

"Just like that...", came a meek little voice from my side.

"Should I like scream on top of my lungs, beat some people up and then try and start dancing hulahula.."

"well not exactly but didn't you just accept as travelling to The Grand Line together with some stranger, risking your Life for something which is impossible"

Thud

"Ouch...Why did you hit me Dastaan?"

"I don't like you..."

"The same answer...You guys are made to travel together."

This was the conversation that I and Coby had after I accepted to become Luffy's first mate or well after I had stolen Zoro position on the crew. Luffy had gone and talked to Zoro about why he was tied to a pole in the Marine headquarters while I placated the mother of the girl that I caught. She ran a restaurant nearby and wanted to treat us but I declined politely. The whole episode barely even took us 15 minuted before we were once again on the move and that was when Coby asked me the reason to why I accepted Luffy's request of becoming a pirate.

Then suddenly everybody started kneeling down and out walked a the weird hairdo guy Helmeppo saying nonsense about his father. Then I heard about how he was going to execute Zoro and not keep his promise.

'Execute Zoro, as if Luffy will let that happen', I smirked and started laughing when I saw Luffy start beating Helmeppo. While Coby held him, he turned around and I nodded. I already knew what he was going to do.

"I have decided Dastaan. Zoro will become our Nakama"

"Okay Luffy. Let's go get him", I said simply cause though I was unsure how the next things would go, I definitely knew that Zoro is in Luffy's crew. I silently tread behind him and we reached the Marine Headquarters. Luffy jumped over the wall and reached Zoro.

"Coby stay here, it is a marine base and we are trying to go against law here so your involvement would be unwise."

"But Dastaan I have to help you guys..."

"Coby don't you want to become a Marine? They won't take someone who has criminal past and besides...You are weak. Hahahahahah"

"Sob..sob..you are too honest.."

I turned around and also jumped up the wall which was supposed to be a superhuman feat but for me had become strangely possible.

"... me joining your pirate crew, my answer is still no",I heard Zoro answer to Luffy to which he shrugged.

"Call me Luffy...I'll untie you if you join my crew."

"You don't listen Boy."

I snickered at the side, this was almost too funny, Luffy is so nonchalant about it...

"I've got my own mission...and it doesn't involve becoming a stinky Pirate."

"Ohhh so you think you're too good to be a Pirate, you are a bounty hunter and almost everybody thinks you are a demon from hell", this is me. I didn't want him to keep talking trash about pirates...although not all are good but there are good pirates everywhere..Look at the Strawhats for example.

"I don't care about what they think of me...I live by my own code. I never regretted anything I did, nor I want to in the future which is why I will never become a Pirate."

"...", I was silently and looking at Luffy who turned to me as if finalizing something.

"Sorry I made my mind. You are joining my crew."

"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DECIDE", Zoro was furious by now and I could almost see the anime teeth coming out. I stepped in after that.

"I heard you use swords.. ", I already know he uses the world-famous three sword style of Zoro.

"hmph... if I wasn't tied up then I would show you."

"But I don't see any swords around here..and if I am correct for a swordsman swords are more than just weapon..they are their most priceless treasure, right?", I smiled deviously towards Luffy.

"And I am sure that it was that idiot son Helmeppo that took the swords right?", Zoro looked alarmingly to me, he could understand where the conversation was going.

"Then I will get you your Treasure. You will have to become my crew member to get it back", Of course Luffy never let's go of a good opportunity. He stretched himself and was about to go before I interrupted him.

"Take that Helmeppo with you and remember Zoro uses 3 swords so take all of them when you find them.", I reminded him.

Luffy dashed out the next moment after a nod.

"You know that I use 3 swords?"

"Well I asked the girl about it and she said that you were carrying around 3 swords so why not. It's not as if there is some sort of law against no. of swords we can use.",I replied to him relaxedly.

"For a Pirate, you are pretty relaxed in a Marine compound", Zoro was intrigued by my behavior.

"Oh I wouldn't know. I just became one a few minuted ago. Luffy asked me to and I like the guy so I became 1st mate."

"So you were dragged in too. Tell me just what did you see in the guy?"

"Well for one he dreams on becoming the Pirate King and finding One Piece."

"hmm"

"Do you know why he came all the way here?to rescue you?...because we heard Helmeppo saying that he would execute you and the promise of your release was just you being stupid."

"WHAT!that bastard. I will kill him."

"No need, Luffy will take care of him and his father. So tell me what's your dream?"

"What's to say I have one?"

"...you gonna do this at every question of mine, stupid muscles for brain..."

"Open my straps and then we will talk, you lowly pirate..."

"Nope You see Captain did say that he will release you after you say yes..huh", I turned my gaze to a marching sound behind me. I see the mountain of a man with one of his hands replaced for a giant axe and a company of platoon in front of him.

"Damn...this is not good", I muttered because I had very faint recollections of the actual process that happened.

'Ah well it's Luffy so I will probably be fine so till then stalling will do I guess..'

"You there...", Captain Morgan pointed his axe towards me.

"Before you say anything...what the fuck happened to your arm Man? That axe looks painful and I don't even wanna know just how you take a shit with that..but whatever suits your style", I smiled as their jaws hit the floor. Captain Morgan almost looked like he would explode with almost all his veins bulging.

"For disrespecting me..."Morgan raised his gun towards me as did all the marine officers, "I sentence you to death. Take Aim."

"Hey what are you doing open my cuffs. Hey you will die, don't just stand there. Move.."

"I can't, if I move then he will target you and I can't let you be killed. We are going to be Nakama remember and besides I trust Luffy."

'Yeah haven't you heard about the anime law..huh I am with the main character now...Though the chances of me facing death have increased enormously the chances of me dying...well they are great as well'

BANG...

"You know the medieval firearms did make quite a lot of noise now didn't they?", I mused at myself as I heard more than saw Luffy jumping between the bullets and us.

"See what did I tell you..A worthy man to follow huh..", I turned towards Zoro who's jaw was hitting the floor.

"Bullets don't hurt me. Hahahahah", laughed Luffy behind me while still facing the marines.

Boing...the bullets were all thrown backwards hitting randomly. Still laughing Luffy turned towards us.

'Wha...What are you?", Zoro asked.

"I am the guy who will become the King of the Pirates"

"Hey Dastaan you were right. There really were 3 swords there. All of these are yours?", he looked curiously at Zoro who just looked horrified and astonished more than relieved.

"You can fight with us against the marines and in the eyes of the government become one of the bad guys or you could let them kill you", Luffy said still trying to make Zoro a Pirate.

"Haha you must be a devil spawn but I am not ready to die without a fight...All right, you have got yourself a Pirate"

"Really you will join my crew?"

"Haven't got much choice and this guy here" he pointed towards me, "keeps saying nonsensical things..about nakama..so Fine I accept."

I started untying his knots after he accepted all the while Luffy exclaimed like a child. "Hurray I got a swordsman"

"Stop him you fools", ordered Morgan and the marines got over their shock and started running at us with their weapons other than guns.

I had already opened up one of Zoro cuffs and handed the swords to his hands while smiling.

"You still didn't tell me what is your dream?"

KLANG...

There was a clash of swords where all the marines that reached swung their weapons at the same time and Zoro reacted. Awesomely reacted.

The marines swords and axed came to a stop at 2 swords which were held above in front by Zoro.

"Move and you all die", Zoro said even with a sword hilt in his mouth, the marines all gulped. I smirked from besides him.

"All right I am a Pirate and I gave you my word...but I have a mission to complete.."

"I will become the greatest swordsman in the world. My name may be infamous but it will shake the world."

"But you are making me a Pirate so if I have to abandon my dream for any reason then I will kill you."

"...", I couldn't say anything at this point. I mean I came from a modern world where such determination was hardly seen to be enough to give death threats so openly...This world was really started to grow on me.

"The World's Greatest Swordsman huh...that's great since your boss is going to become the King of Pirates. Anything else will make me look bad", replied Luffy smiling.

"Huh you talk big..."

"Why are you hesitating. Kill them", Morgan shouted.

"Zoro, Dastaan duck ",we did. Thank God we did.

"Gum-Gum Whip"

The long leg swept above us and threw almost all the marines flying through the air. Seeing is believing but that was really impressive, a lot weird but impressive.

"What the devil are you?", asked Zoro and I know he was dying to know.

"I am a Rubberman", Luffy said while his leg retracted...yeah lets call that retracted.

The marines immediately started whining and trying to retreat cause for them Luffy and Zoro were nothing short of monsters.

Then I saw Morgan say something and before we knew it the marines were pointing a gun at their own heads.

'Shit are these guys crazy or something'

I ran ahead and reached Morgan before Luffy and Zoro could. I punched out and he blocked with his axe.

"Where the hell is your attention stupid axe for brains...huh. A pathetic man like you is in no condition to order anyone around", I had to make sure to insult him so that he would keep his attention on me. Morgan deflected my arm and threw me down like a ragdoll.

'That hurts...Ouch..'

I shook my fists which were aching and rolled aside when Captain Morgan swiped at me with his axe. It carved the ground beside me leaving a mini crater in its wake.

'Seriously just how broken are this characters from anime...I mean shit I almost died there..'

Luffy jumped up behind me and started fighting against Morgan.

"Luffy... DESTROY this Lousy base...", Coby appeared from somewhere and shouted.

"You have neither rank nor status...I will teach you proper manners...I am Captain Axe-Hand Morgan", the enemy was enraged now.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Straw-hat Luffy", 'ahhh that's my Captain. This guy never let's go of such a moment'

I laughed and Zoro looked weirdly at me from beside me.

"What don't you find it hilarious how comic the answer was? That guy is trying to kill him and Luffy is like..Nice to meet you believe that guy?", Zoro just sighed.

I laughed and made sure to laugh hard enough for Morgan. His face looked like he was about to explode when suddenly there came a whimper from behind us. I turned back to find a gun pointed right at Coby and the holder was Helmeppo.

'This guy is starting to get on my nerves now. Cowards always do...'

"You don't have to worry about me, Luffy", said Coby though his legs were trembling badly.

"Alright", replied Luffy though he stopped his fight with Morgan and completely disregarded the giant axe that could kill him. Instead he reared his hands back and threw a fast punch on Helmeppo leaving his back to his crew, in this case Zoro who sliced through Morgan and made a splatter of blood everywhere. Morgan was defeated just like that and the marines rejoiced and started celebrating. Some even started crying. Zoro looked at us for a second before he closed his eyes and fell down without any further ado. I caught him and carried him in a Fireman's lift.

As if on cue my stomach grumbled loudly and then Luffy's did the same. We looked at each other before we started laughing and made our way towards a restaurant which turned out to be the mother of the girl I saved and above that we did defeat Morgan so the villagers showed their gratitude by letting us eat as much as we want.

Zoro woke up a bit later, the town doctor had checked him up and said that he just need some rest and lots of food then he would be fine. We had already ordered some things for him and lots of booze. He woke up and practically fell off his chair when he saw us eating. We were really eating to much, even the town people were astonished and started sweating when they saw the pile of dishes besides each of us going higher and higher.

Zoro just wryly chuckled as if admitting himself to some sort of punishment, then started eating and drinking too. Half way through all the meat was finished up by Luffy and me so we started fighting for every other piece we could find and let me tell you, when you are a Rubber man it becomes way too easy to snatch stuff across the table.

It is weird of how much my appetite had increased after I had come to this world. Though I blamed the Devil-fruit for that. Even on the island my hunger was manageable but after consuming the fruit, I feel like I cam never be filled fully. Seems like Luffy feels the same way though his love for meat is enthusiastic much...

"So what's next Captain?", asked Zoro after we finished out food.

"Well if he wants to become the Pirate King then there is only one place: The Grand Line", I answered before Luffy could to which Luffy nodded.

"That's suicide..there's only three of you! If you go there you guys will just be sailing to your deaths. The world's most blood thirsty pirates are there.". Coby shouted at us even though we were no more than a feet from him.

"We are after One Piece so Grand line's the place to go..", Zoro plainly responded.

"Zoro you agree with him."

"What's not too? You are not coming with us anyway.", Zoro pointed out.

'But I am worried about you. Is THAT so wrong...Can't I worry about my friends!"

"Luffy we have met just a few days ago but we are friends, right?"

"Of course, though our ways are separate, we will always be friends",replied a smiling Luffy.

"Guess I am not your friend huh..Coby..", I said in a bid to stop him from almost crying.

"No..no Dastaan you are my friend too...you guys have taught me to fight for my dreams!"

"That's why I am going to the Grand Line...", said Luffy as if it was the ultimate truth.

"Makes sense..", replied an equally sage Zoro.

"This isn't right! I am trying to stop your recklessness not encourage it! ", Coby was desperate now.

KreeK..

The door to the restaurant opened up and in walked a marine with a few soldiers behind him.

"Excuse me...Are you guys Pirates?"

"Yes, now that I have two crew members I am a Pirate Captain...", Luffy answered.

"I am thankful for you who defeated Morgan and saved the island and it's people...but as Marines I can't allow you to stay on our island any longer."

Immediately the people around us started shouting at the Marines for being ungrateful and what-not. I didn't blame them for the matter, even in the modern world where I came from being a protector had many restrictions. Those restrictions were all for the weak though if you were strong then the restrictions became like changeable and that's were protectors go corrupt. That was how I thought the world of justice worked or at least a part of it.

"Well I guess we will be going then..Ma'am thanks for the meal...", I said while standing up.

We got up to get out and without even looking at Coby we walked right past him. He couldn't become a pirate if it was known that he worked at a pirate's ship or that he was a pirate's friend. Occupational hazards wouldn't allow it. Then there was the threat of spies...anyway it was a long and arduous screening which every marine had to go through.

"Aren't you going with them?", the marine captain ? asked Coby..

"I'm...I'M NOT ONE OF THEM!", Coby almost shouted without facing us.

A smile crept up on my face with it but before we went away, the marine stopped us.

"Excuse me, pirates! Is that true?", the marine is no doubt doing this on purpose.

"Who he? Let me explain...I know all about his past..", pointed Luffy towards Coby who started fidgeting around.

"See there was this secret island and on there was a fat lady pirate names Alvida..."

"Luffy don't...", Coby's words were too quiet.

"She was really mean and for two years, this guy...",the next words were lost as Coby ran shouting something towards Luffy and punched him in the face. Luffy too didn't spare and started punching though he didn't use his power he fully pummeled Coby. I stopped him and dragged him away with a small smile.

"Enough we understand you guys are not friends...Leave Town Now!", the Marine shouted at us.

I nodded towards the marine and we took our leave towards the dock where a small ding boat waited us, it's nostalgic because this boat reminded me of the small boat that Jack Sparrow used at the ending of movie: POTC At World's End.

"That was pretty bad acting there..I will not be surprised if they saw through it all", Zoro said while I was removing the rope of the boat.

"It's all up to Coby will get in somehow...", replied Luffy while helping me.

"It's a good time to leave now..the marines hate us.", I said laughingly.

"Hahaha I guess that's true..."

So we sat in the tiny boat, Luffy didn't have the pirate flag nor a navigator but we must journey ahead. The boat was taken out of docks and there standing right next to the docks was Coby.

"LUFFY!...Thank you very much. I will never forget what you did for me", he shouted towards us and we shared a smile looking at him.

"That's a first. I haven't even seen a marine salute a pirate...", I am feeling pretty amused right now.

"We will meet again, Coby", shouted Luffy. There was moment behind Coby then I heard a shout more like a command.

"ATTENTION"

Then there was a whole marine base of the island which was saluting us..

Hooray, they shouted and Luffy waved his hands..I and Zoro smiled behind him.

"We are going to the GRAND LINE", Luffy was shouting at the top of his lungs.

All this time I felt as if I was seriously forgetting something very important but I shrugged and smiled as I remembered some very familiar lines.

"Yoho yoho..A pirates life for me..."ah I wish I could drink some booze of One piece...(Que the music of POTC:AWE)

...

...

...

...

"I really really want some booze...", said a tired Zoro.

"Or any type of food would do...I am so hungry...how can you guys not know about navigation..I mean I haven't really been to these seas but you guys have been travelling for a longer time than me", I asked.

It had been hours since we left the port and all we had was a barrel of water which was quickly emptied by us. (mainly me and luffy) I had remembered that there were no supplies on the boat and had almost flipped out on Luffy when he said that he ate it all.

"Drifting has worked fine for me all this time..."

"You were thrown in a whirlpool because you were drifting remember...", I said bluntly.

"Oh yeah besides that...", I almost hit him there...

"I followed a pirate to the sea and after I took care of him, I couldn't remember where my hometown was..so I started hunting the pirates around the sea...", Zoro added in helplessly.

I stared for a full 2 seconds for dramatic effect at Zoro then, "Just say you got lost..."

"You don't have to put it that way...", Luffy laughed at Zoro's embarrassment.

'Phew...calm down and think...what would an experienced sailor of my technological advantages do in such a situation...or more easily think what Bear Grylls would do..'

Seriously there were not many things that I could think of. The seas here were chaotic and unlike the seas back home fishing wasn't simply throwing a hook and catching though I didn't even have a fishing rod.

I laid at my back with both of them when they still conversed on how hungry they were. Then Luffy exclaimed, "Don't worry I will catch it..GUM-GUM ROCKET..."

Then he got himself caught in the beak of a giant-ass bird and Zoro almost couldn't stop shouting loud enough, "YOU IDIOT".

Then we started using the oars as fast as we could while Zoro worked anxiously and I laughed at seeing Luffy almost disappear over the horizon.

"Stop laughing and row faster or else we will lose him. "

"Don't worry he is Luffy and we should thank him, he showed us where the next island is..."

"huh..how do you..?"

"Isn't it simple. If I was a bird then I would definitely try and throw Luffy off but Luffy won't try and fall in the sea so the next best option is the land and that's where the bird is headed towards..."

Even still Zoro worried over him so we still rowed faster and then in front of us came 3 drowning people who shouted help.

"Catch on the boat we don't have the time to stop at all", Zoro said since we were going the same exact route. They barely caught on the boat and held for their life as they climbed aboard. They breathed deeply before removing their knives and pointing them at us.

"We are a part of the Buggy-Pirates. Give us the boat or die..."

"hmm", I said and looked towards Zoro who smiled devilishly and immediately beat up the 3 guys. They looked funny as if they were part of a circus troupe. Then the people 'kindly' helped us by rowing the boat as fast as they can.

"Sorry.. Mr. Pirate Hunter Zoro, Sir..we couldn't recognize you..", the beat up Pirates played nice and tried to boot-lick Zoro and they ignored me while still rowing the boat.

"You jokers made me lose my friend now row towards the nearest island..he must be there..."

"Anyway how the hell Pirates like you ended up stranding in the middle of the ocean", I asked though I had an inkling of an idea.

"I will tell you how that happened.."

"It was that woman.."

"It's all her fault.."

"Though she was a looker..."

All these Pirates were cheated by Nami...as I thought she really is quite a thief..huh speaking of which she still has my sword..and considering our bet, I better get suited up for our date...heh heh..

The rest of the journey they reiterated how they were cheated by Nami and how she knew exactly the sea would act.

"She would make a great navigator...",said Zoro.

"What do you think are the chances that our captain will recruit her as our navigator..I mean if they end up on the same island..", I baited him.

"The chances are zilch..though they may meet but just picking up any girl to become a navigator without even knowing about her is impossible... ", he answered. Seems like he still doesn't understand Luffy.

'Buddy he did pick you up only after meeting you like twice.'

"Wanna bet?", I asked.

"What do you wanna bet on?", Zoro countered.

"Let's say if he does recruit her and on this island too...then you teach me swordsmanship... if not I will do your jobs for you on the ship...for 1..no 5 years..say you what..", I raised my right hands and spat on it before putting it towards Zoro.

Zoro slightly snickered then raised his own hand to spit on it and shook my hand fiercely," You said it now, don't go back on your words..5 years of sleep."

I already knew that he was a lazy swordsman and he hated doing anything not related to his swords so I knew he would ignore even the slightest bit of reason and bet on it whatsoever. This bet is now in my pocket...

"Since when did you have a sword...", he asked me because as a swordsman he naturally knew that I wasn't one.

"I briefly had a sword but I gave it away as part of a bet..though don't worry I don't make bets that I will lose..I will get back my sword on this island and something of equal or perhaps more value since I won the bet.. ", my smile slightly stumped him before he too smiled at my confidence.

"For someone who just met Luffy for half a day you do have an awful lot of confidence in him..", Zoro smiled at me while he washed his hands in the ocean and the seashore approached.

Though I knew basically everything pertaining to One Piece but knowing was also limited by Memory. Sadly I am suffering from intense bouts of amnesia which is only based around One Piece so it's not like I am cheating (technically).

'Weird...was I always such a gambler...and why does my memory loss only surround One piece..I can remember everything else but One Piece...Wait a second...does that mean that whoever send me here didn't want me to know anything about this world and just try and live it...but then what about the voice I heard at the start...it said something about memory in 12 hours...it's been about 7-9 hours since then I guess...Wow now that I think about it, it really has been a long day and I am already on my way to another adventure in 12 hours...Huh..'

Some small part of me wanted to just jump out right then and there and just forget about them at the sudden realization of just how much I will suffer in the future but then I won't be able to have so much fun then...

'Can't do anything now...already accepted to be his crew member and besides Whatever happens I will just make sure to be stronger than the problem and I am sure that things will work out..and then there's my new super power...sob sob..why it's so useless...'

While Zoro 'talked' with the pirates I had finally felt something like a ripple inside me, if I wasn't so focused on it I would have no doubt not paid any attention to it but I had been paying attention so I immediately used the feeling and tried to shake it, use it, anything and it worked.

'Almost worked too well but why can't I seem to do anything in it'

The feeling expanded outwards and then he felt more than saw a thin layer of darkness so light that it could barely be discerned in thin air against the light came out of my chest and covered small distance around me like a circle around a center point in perfect radius and mine was basically quarter of a meter. The point was that Zoro was inside the circle and he barely felt anything from it (I even asked him if he felt anything...) nor could I in any way make some changes to him. I willed him to stand up or be moved up and thrown in the water like telekinesis but after so much time that we could now see the island, I still hadn't been able to do anything except perhaps creating a small gust of air when I 'opened' that power circle.

'That's not right...I need a cool name for my first ability...useless as it is..so let's see it opens up a small part of the world and only I can see it...Hmm...Let's call them Domain. Thank you ATG.. '

The name did sound pretty cool so I call it that..Domain. 'My Domain...Nah it still lacks something...'

Any further recollections were stopped when our boat bumped on the island and we found ourselves facing an utterly empty port which is very weird to see. There was literally no-one around except us and the 3 idiot stooges behind us.

"Is this a ghost town or something? Where is everyone?", I asked looking around.

"Idiot there is a pirate who has taken over the town, of course it would be empty. Hey you three take us to your boss. At least he might know something? "

"Let's hurry, I feel as if Luffy might need us", I pushed one of the goons ahead and started running towards their base. I could already see the base before a thunderous BOOM went off somewhere nearby which completely rattled us before our speed doubled if possible.

Their on the platform I saw a caged Luffy trying to bite through Iron and a desperate Nami who as I watched socked a guy on the head dropping him like a bag of rice. A clown whose name I was sure was just on my tongue but I couldn't remember shouted angrily before some of the pirates started fighting Nami.

'Not on my watch.'

I jumped right in between them and before they could utter anything, I swept the foremost attacker with a low sweep and then punched him while he was still in the air. He didn't get up after that. The other guy swung his cutlass on my face before I backtracked and went up-close in a second. A punch knocked him out cold and literally threw him on the next attacker before they both went down. I turned around to see Zoro taking care of my back and Nami looking ramrod still while looking in disbelieve at me. I rubbed the fuse with my fingers before the fire went out and Luffy was safe.

I turned around and looked at Buggy, a second passed before I started laughing and pointed towards his face. Zoro, Luffy just looked at me weird.

"What! There is a clown Pirate with a big red nose in front of me and you think I won't laugh". Buggy was already fuming because of Nami but I just stepped painfully on his nerve. Luffy too laughed with me, Nami just looked at us weirdly like seeing something completely alien.

"I will Kill you."

"Yeah yeah as if I haven't heard that one before. Wait actually that's the first time someone has told me but before we do this let me do some introductions."

I walked towards Luffy and Nami.

"Captain, all you do is create trouble wherever you go. Seriously! Who get's taken away by a bird. Anyway this beautiful person here is Nami and she saved my life. She is also a very good navigator. "

"Shut it, who the hell are you guys", Buggy pointed at me while his other hand hid behind him. I laughed inwardly at such an obvious attack pattern (obvious for me).

"Ignore the red-nose, where's my sword?", I asked Nami.

"It's in my ship...", she got interrupted.

"Yaah..", came a hand suspended in mid-air with a dagger directly at me. I prepared myself before something unimaginable happened. Buggy's hand stopped right about a meter behind me and then fell down. I looked backwards and saw him making a face while staring at his detached hand but it didn't even twitch.

'What the hell is this?', my thoughts were suspended before I picked up the hand and threw it back.

When it went away from me, it suddenly veered downwards and towards Buggy. Buggy and his crew-mates were looking at me dumbfounded before they tried again. I waggled my fingers to encourage another attack while my mind worked overtime.

'Could it be that simple...A ability like that would be god-like in this world, especially if it awakens. An ability to restrict other devil-fruit abilities.'

Frustrated Buggy roared and suddenly all his body parts separated and came at me all the same. The hand zoomed in again but this time I did not do anything, just watched as it come towards me and fell down a meter in front of me. The other hand also stopped right about a meter around me as did the legs which simply just fell down.

I looked for just a second before a smile broke out on my face.

"Whoa there", I picked up the hand. "Need a hand."

Behind me Luffy laughed and I heard Zoro sheath his sword.

"Zoro get the Captain and the girl out of here. Let's get out of here." The nest second Buggy started screaming as I stepped on his hand.

"Fools, get him.", he ordered his crew-mates. Before they could so much as move, I flipped the canon (wasn't that heavy) and lighted it before turning back.

"Skadoosh"

BOOM

The Buggy canon went off without a hitch before I felt the after shock hit me and I was thrown out of the explosion. Zoro already had a intimation so he had gotten Nami and Luffy out of there in time. The next second I groaned and got up, still trying to get the ringing out of my ears. I looked back to see the charred husk of the platform we were on and no sign of Buggy and his crew.

"They are gonna be back", Zoro said from behind me.

"Yeah I ...", I barely said anything before a box opened up in front of me.

[Integration complete.]

[Starting Memory processing..]

[Starting Full Immersive training for the chosen Devil fruit and Power.]

Then the world went dark and I felt myself falling down while someone shouted my name.

...

...

I looked around and it was white like totally eye-glaring white as far as and as high as I could see. There was a square platform beneath me whose edges led to who knows where.

[The battle will start in 10..9..8..7..]

'Oh a system announcement, is this the power of the fruit or me. Well it seems like I am about to be forced to fight. Anyway I think it will teach me all about my Devil fruit power so all for the better and ooh there's someone in front of me'.

That someone was actually me, I mean a guy just like me appeared a few feet away wearing the same clothes but with hair as white as snow and his eyes, there was something very very wrong with his red eyes. They almost looked as if they were not human, made him look not human. Barely a second passed before it; he moved and a black circle of a meter expanded around him while he ran towards me which looked exactly like mine. I could see through the domain clearly though it did make me look more dangerous.

I didn't want to but he was fast and by the time I tried to retreat, the black domain already engulfed me and I heard a voice I wish wasn't mine.

"Void Domain : Pressure "

Immediately I felt myself being hit by the same massive pressure that I felt at the island though this one was still of the lowest possible circle but it was too abrupt and then came the punch which strangely felt as if distorted the air.

"Void punch"

Then came the pain and the feeling of flying through the air. A second later I fell like a heap of potatoes which elicited another scream from me. Through all the things I had went through that punch was the worst, I felt my insides burning as if there was a hole where the punch had landed. My evil doppelganger walked towards me calmly and smirked down at my pain filled face. Then there came another sound of another calm mature voice sounded from behind my head.

"Do you wish to become strong."

I looked behind me to find no one there. I shook my head to make sure that I wasn't hallucinating, my focus once again upon my Evil Doppler. A punch came in just as I tried to get up once again sending me sprawling on the ground.

"Do you wish to become strong."

I spit the blood in my mouth before I stood up shakily, my jaw hurting like a bitch and my body trembling because of the continuous pressure put on me by the void.

'Wait a second, if he can do it than so can I.'

I concentrated before another punch hit my stomach making me cough hoarsely. The punch shattered my concentration and my eyes raged.

'This fucker...he is doing this purposefully.'

Another punch came in which I tried to resist unsuccessfully, it connected with my guard and made me jump back a few meters while my chest felt like been set on fire.

The next few seconds blurred in pain but no matter what I did it still felt as if he, the evil me, could go beyond my defense and directly hurt my insides. It's almost feels like magic wait..a second is this one of the uses..is the punch bypassing my defense totally.

'Holy shit, if this continues there is no saying what will happen to me.'

I spit the blood in my mouth and gave up all notions of defense, kicking the evil me in his stomach with all my strength. For a second I saw some sort of dark light around my leg before it hit the clone and he flew off like a ball kicked.

I stared at my leg before trying to replicate the feeling in my right fist. The clone got up and spit the blood in his mouth while his eyes glowed with anger? hatred? hard to put it in a word. Then he started running but here's where the shit hit the fan, he started teleporting exactly at the edge of the dark domain continuously and by doing so his speed became so fast that I barely saw him disappear and reappear once when he already slammed into me.

"What the hell is your problem with me?", I shouted at him.

"Haha..my problem? You are unfit for this power, you always were", it replied still swinging his fist on my face.

I blocked it but still stumbled back, the force was too much. That was when I understood that actually we were standing on some sort of a platform, the surroundings and the platform were so white that I couldn't even see where the platform ended and a ravine started which continued on for who knows how long.

'SHIT!'

I ducked under the next kick and rolled forwards to escape falling to my death.

'Wait this is all in my mind then if I die here, will I die out there too. Wait a second if this is all in my mind then ...'

"Come forth oh god of thunder and smite this guy to smithereens",I shouted as loud as I could while trying to imagine a thunder striking on the evil me.

One second..
Two second...

Thud!

"Ouch fuck that hurt. What the hell? Isn't this my brain ", I was thinking that this isn't possible before another kick clocked me in my chin and I was sent flying.

It was weird to bleed even after all this, there weren't even any bruises but I could feel myself becoming tired, weaker, and slower to react against his attacks. I was huffing and puffing like I had run a marathon for days on end.

It became difficult to even breathe and of all the emotions, the most I felt was anger. This fight had been one of the only ones that I was losing and that too so miserably. No matter what I did, my evil clone would counterattack perfectly.

"So weak and yet you possess such a great power" , my evil self repeated again. This was starting to get really weird and perhaps I could actually feel a kind of Deja-Vu feeling coming every time he said that.

'Wait a second', I looked around. 'A completely white surroundings, an evil me trying to kill me and a mysterious voice asking me if I wanted power. So it's that. Pretty powerful huh...this is going to be awesome. I won't be able to kill it anyway. Now if I am correct then all that's left is to get the sword and if I know this place then the sword would be..'

I jumped not towards the platform but towards the chasm that extended to infinity and beyond (literally). There was a slight breeze which rustled my hair, the evil me didn't follow but I could still see him just fine and his voice as if just besides me laughed.

"Haha..fine then for now I will acknowledge you but we will meet again for sure so become stronger by then or else I will devour you."

The evil me disintegrated then still laughing at me, and I started feeling a bit apprehensive about whether or not I will find what I hoped to find here. I looked downwards and there it was, a stark contrast in a such a white world. It was a sword of pure darkness, the sword that I found on the mysterious island. I stretched my hand and the moment I touched it, I heard someone whispering to me.

"What's my name?"

Then I woke up.

[Congratulations, you have successfully survived and thus met your fate. This world now has a total of 2 otherworlders]
[As the 2nd otherworlders you are bestowed upon by a random choice power]

The influx is a bit too much even for me so I groan and at the exact moment a boom goes off right next to my fucking ear.

BOOM

'HOLY FUCKING HELL, that's it I have had it with people trying to kill me whenever I wake up.'

I turned around, it is the bed that's stopped most of the wreckage leaving me with just a bruised body and half-deaf ear.

'Wait a second..bruised body..'

I checked myself again and found out that my body looked like it had been beaten black and I even felt that my jaw hurts just like in the dreams...wait no no not a dream but the inner world as it was in the Bleach manga.

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT I JUST GOT THE POWERS OF ICHIGO KUROSAKI ",I shouted with the top of the lungs.

This is when I am making my way out of the fallen building, so when I shouted 5 pairs of eyes looked at me. Luffy, Nami, Zoro, a weird guy sitting on a lion motorcycle and a dog. They had all stopped whatever they were doing and were looking at me like I am the newest freak in town. I felt embarrassed for a second before I became angry.

"What the fuck are you guys looking at? I almost died back there and who the fuck blows out a goddamn house especially if someone is still sleeping inside", I started rambling while still pointing at the destroyed like a piece of cardboard house behind me.

"How the hell are you still alive? That was a freaking joker ball and a ton of wood that fell on you and what the heck is that on your head?", the guy on the lion shouted first.

I ignored him because anime rule he is a minor comic relief and so doesn't require me to be so attentive towards him. I turned towards Nami who began speaking immediately.

"You fell unconscious.."

"Enough of your nonsense", the lion guy started but the next second I was right next to him before I gave him a punch and sent him flying. The lion growled at us and then ran towards his master.

"As I was saying you suddenly went unconscious, Luffy was still in the cage so we couldn't all keep running away so we put you in the house for rest, the doctor is just about to come with the village head when we met the lion guy, the cannon went off and well you know the rest."

All the time she kept staring at my head, I grew apprehensive. 'Was I bald now...is this gig supposed to be like One-punch Man'. I touched my head but didn't feel anything. Seeing me like this Nami took out a mirror from who knows where and showed me.

I am the same, its just there is now a crown on my head, I mean like a real freaking crown though it kept flickering constantly. I thought for a second but all the thinking was making my head hurt so I let it rest.

'It makes me look cool so it alright. Oh that reminds me..'

"Void Domain"
