The Valiant

by braveredlotus

I was a survivor, but I died. My past life wasn't kind. I stole and threatened and murdered. Killing was easy. Now I'm here. To a world that's kinder than my last. The Golden Age of Pirates. I am Usopp.

1. Prologue

The Valiant

Story by: thebraveredlotus

I died - bleeding from a bullet in the guts - when I was running drugs for The Cartel.

The Cartel.

I was born in it. Mother had me when she was selling herself to a foot soldier.

It was expected. I will kill, make money and die for The Boss.

I died - bleeding from a bullet in the guts, gunshotseverywhere, bothsides screamingandyellinganddying-

Meeting that expectation.

I was fifteen.

Then -

I was reborn. Not to a prostitute and a gang soldier. This time, to a farmer and a sniper pirate.

My nose was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.

Author's Note:

Hello, hello and hello! I'm super excited to open this story. (my first in One Piece fandom xD)

To make some points clear:

- The protagonist doesn't know the story. At all. He'll be going at it blind - but I'll introduce some twists to make things more interesting!

- This story will build on the character's past life.. and how this affects his attitudes and actions as a StrawHat Pirate later on.

As a writer, I'm thrilled to make this journey with you. To myself and you: Bon Voyage!
