In the realm known as the afterlife, a couple of unique souls were communicating with one another since sound did not exist. Any other person would stop and think, what's so special about these souls? They're just souls, that's it. And they'd be right. However, these souls aren't just any other ordinary souls, these souls were once people who made a big impact on their planet and were loved and hated by an equal amount of people.
Though how they passed away won't be said. Maybe they died by age, or died by an accident or disease. No one knows, except them. They also had their fair share of enemies, most who they got along and let go of their hate, the rest having held onto their grudges and being so morally corrupt that they've been subjugated to hell.
Either way, they had no regrets about dying since they lived great lives; not entirely, but still great nonetheless. Though their relaxation had come to an end, because they now found themselves above a planet that wasn't their own; having the oddest landmasses they've ever seen.
Without warning, a cosmic entity appeared before them. They immediately recognized it; Fate was in front of them. They were confused, what does Fate want from them? Fate then spoke to them.
"HEY GUYS, UH, I KNOW YOUR WONDERING WHY I TOOK YOU AWAY FROM FROLICKING IN HEAVEN AND STUFF. BUT, UH, RECENTLY I'VE BEEN FEELING A BIT BORED AS OF RECENTLY AND HEAR ME OUT, THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SEND YOUR SOULS TO A PLANET WHERE EATING FRUITS WILL GIVE YOU SUPERPOWERS. AND WHERE PEOPLE CAN TURN THEIR AMBITION INTO AN ACTUAL WEAPON, JUST TO ENTERTAIN ME AND ME ONLY."
The souls shook in a way that looked as though they were absolutely against the idea of going to such a dangerous planet.
"OKAY, YES, I KNOW IT WAS SELFISH OF ME TO SAY THAT. BUT ALL OF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT MY LIFE IS LIKE WHEN BARELY ANYTHING INTERESTING HAPPENS, SO DON'T DUMP THIS ALL ON ME OKAY?! YOU ALL HAVEN'T WALKED SEVERAL LIGHT YEARS IN MY SHOES TO KNOW HOW BORED I AM WITH EVERY PASSING MOMENT."
One of the souls shook furiously, akin to that of a rant.
"SHUT IT CALVIN! NONE OF YOU GET A SAY IN THIS ALRIGHT?! LOOK, IF YOU ALL COOPERATE AND GO WITH MY PROPOSAL, I'L MAKE IT UP TO YOU GUYS OKAY?
All the souls shook in unison.
"OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT? I TRIED TO BE NICE TO YOU ALL, BUT YOU'RE ALL MAKING THIS MORE DIFFICULT BY THE GIGASECONDS, SO ALL OF YOU ARE GOING FOR MY AMUSEMENT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"
The souls shook to the extreme, showing their dislike of being ripped away from paradise.
"YEAH, YEAH, WHATEVER. BYE."
Just like that, Fate snapped its fingers and all the souls were turned into beams of light that were sent to a particular island down on the surface. Fate then grabbed a sofa from out of nowhere, whipped out a bowl of popcorn, and patiently waited for the show to start.
"OH! ALMOST FORGOT."
Fate snapped its fingers again, bringing in more souls from the after life; Hell to be specific. They were turned into beams of pure darkness with red outlines and sent to where the beams of light landed.
It Begins...
In Dressrosa, at the Corrida Colosseum, two individuals have met with the exact same goal in mind.
Getting a fucking fruit as a prize for killing everyone in the Battle Royale arena. But it wasn't just a fruit, no, it was a fruit that if eaten, the consumer gains pyrokinesis. Which is basically like eating a flaming hot cheeto that was dipped in radioactivity, and once eaten, the person gets superpowers like from the comics.
But still, everyone is going to kill each other for a fruit? What has the world gone to? Where everyone is committing mass genocide just for a single fruit? This is proof that humanity will soon destroy itself, and that they're all doomed.
But anyways, back to the main characters and future love interests of this cancerous story. The first one is a dude who looks like he hasn't even hit puberty yet. His mood is akin to a child after downing gallons of sugar and sweets and has an attitude that is really likable to some people and can attract uncanny one's as well. He's even wearing a fake beard and sunglasses for reasons no one knows.
Maybe he's been kicked out of some place that don't allow manchildren inside and has to wear a disguise to enter. If that's the case, then he might be a desperate manchild. He also happens to have the name 'Monkey' as his last name and have the middle initial 'D'. Guess that gives the impression that he must go psycho whenever he gets all excited and is 'well blessed' down there. His name also happened to be Luffy.
On a side note, there could be the possibility of him suddenly getting so crazy that he starts crawling on the walls and ceiling that an excorcist might have to get involved. Or get tossed into an insane asylum while wearing a straight jacket, then toss than asylum at the bottom of the ocean. He'll be fine though. He has survived situations in which he nearly died.
Now onto the next person beside the first one. The second person was a teenager who can be mistaken as a maturely developed woman. Her well endowed figure makes it difficult to tell what age she was at. However, that's not what caught people's attention. It was the fact that what she wore barely covered her body. What the actual hell? Why is she even wearing that? Shouldn't she be wearing something that offers her more protection? Like armor for example? Or maybe that's part of the rules here.
That would actually be interesting to see. A woman walks towards the entrance with armor protecting her from all directions and the guy at the registration stand would be like,
"Uh sorry, but you got to be wearing something more revealing that it's basically fan service. So if you can't oblige with the rules, then get the fuck out you goddamn retard!"
Many would agree that would be really sexist to say to a woman who just wants to win a fruit that'll give her fire powers.
Back on topic, the 'gifted' female had pink hair, like one those anime characters who have unusual colored hair, with brown eyes, and a gladiator helmet covering a great majority of her head. Complete with a cool cape.
But anyways, the two met when Luffy was admiring a bronze statue of an "almost naked warrior geezer statue" as he liked to call it, and the female gladiator - whose name is Rebecca - told him about Kyros, who won three-thousand colosseum matches in a row and only took one hit. Luffy thought it was cool. She then revealed her intentions of winning the Flame-Flame fruit. So as to go all pyromaniac on the people that are the reason she had a shitty childhood, and why her mother is deceased, surprising the dense shonen protagonist.
Both then learn that they've been put into separate blocks; Luffy being in C and Rebecca in D. They then go their separate ways, with Rebecca telling Luffy that she's glad that they won't fight each other since she respects him. As they went where they desired, they noticed unique-looking headwear in front of them. It wasn't the appearance that got their attention, it was just something that attracted them to the items on ground in front of them.
In front of Luffy was one of those hats that most marines would wear, except that instead of it being all white and having the words 'MARINE' at the front, it was all black and had 'OBEY' printed on the front. Luffy wasn't sure why, but he felt like putting the hat in front of him on his head. He tried to ignore it, but his eyes were practically glued to the item.
Likewise with Rebecca, a black beanie was in front of her, and just like with the black snapback, she too was also unable to ignore it. Like her sixth sense was basically telling her "Bitch, put that fucking beanie on and good things will come your goddamn way!".
Following their instincts, they picked up the items. Then, they removed the headwear they currently had on; both their respective gladiator helmets. Slowly, but dramatically, they slowly placed the headwear on their heads. Nothing happened after that, except that they fit snuggly on their craniums. Shrugging, they continued where they wanted to go, after placing their own respective headwear on top of the strange ones they had on.
"Better see what's there to do around here," Luffy said to himself. 'Right after drinking bleach, slitting my wrists and throat and cutting my dick off of course.'
Luffy suddenly froze, confused as to where that came from. He pushed those thoughts away and continued to walk, but not before grabbing his crotch out of instinct and looking very ill, did he realize what he said.
"WHY WOULD I WANNA CUT OFF MY MANHOOD AND FAMILY JEWELS?!"
With Rebecca, she too was slowly unaware of the small changes the beanie was doing to her mentally. Her mind then wandered back to Lucy. Maybe she should have given him tips on how to survive, but got rid of that thought. He looked like he knew what to do, so she left it at that. She then realized she was a bit parched. She should probably drink some water, then deep-throat it to show her intense love, admiration and loyalty for her reptilian king, Lucy-senpa-
...?
...!
Her eyes widened, where did that come from?! The better question was, why was she thinking of Lucy like that? She shook her head, her slight dehydration must've been the cause. Yeah, that had to be it. Though she was unaware that a small part of her was killed off, replaced with something not of this planet; which is saying something. Considering that the globe they inhabit has a bunch of weird stuff and has more water than land.
Whatever it was, it'll cause a change in the metaphorical tides of Fate.
A song then started playing in their heads, and were unable to tune it out.
(My Boo | At Night I Think Of You)
At night, I think of you
I want, to be you lady baby
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your love is strong, I gotta give my all to you...
