Falling.

The sensation of falling was what my body was feeling, as my eyes awoke from their previous sleep and I saw what looked like the sea.

That was then my brain caught up to what was currently happening, I tried to scream out in fright as I headed towards the water.

But, instead of a yell, one would hear from a human, coming from my mouth, I instead heard the howl of a wolf from it. That was then I finally noticed that I no longer had my large nose, now muzzle stuck out from my face. And where my pale ass arms used to be, were now two furry appendages with paws to go with them.

Fuck.

Was I all I thought as I continued falling, the world seemed to go in slow-motion as tried to take control of my new canine body. Instead, I just ended up flailing about in the air.

That was then I hit the water and instead of making a

splat sound and dying due to surface tension. I instead heard the plop as my body sunk under the water and still very much alive. Hitting the water had still hurt since I had pretty much belly flopped onto it.

Now though I had to learn how to swim with my new body before I drowned in the salty sea. I managed to calm down and started to move my new limbs correctly, a few seconds later I was dog paddling with my head above the water. And the firm scent of the sea hit my nose, and it smelled worse than normal, and now it was itching.

Fuck.

[Yes.] I yelled out in success, but what came out of my mouth was still canine sounds and not words.

But, now that I was not drowning, I could orient myself to find out where I was. I spun around to see if there was any land or ships near.

And to my luck, there was as I saw something in the distance, guess I had better vision than normal canines did, as my vision wasn't getting blurry after looking more than twenty meters.

I began to swim towards the object, and that was then I learned two things. That there was a bag attached to my back and my new body at least had some superhuman capabilities or should it be super canine since I was swimming faster than should be capable of.

Since it didn't take long for me to get closer to the object I had seen. It was, in fact, a boat or more accurately a ship. One that I quickly recognized, due to its design being very iconic if one knew the series it was from. It's multi-story round design, the fish head in front and the tail on its back quickly gave it away. Along with its name written on the side.

This was the floating sea restaurant the Baratie, home to Sanji, Zeff and the rest of the chefs that worked there. And since there weren't any ships nearby it or other small boats I guessed it hadn't opened yet or it had just. I couldn't tell because of the cloudy weather, I wasn't able to see the sun and say whether it was in either east or west.

I swam closer to the ship and tried to jump on to? I didn't know that the fuck it was called, the chunk of wood that sticking out of the side of the ship where people could board. So I just called it the plank.

After a few tries, I managed to jump onto the plank, it was bit weird walking on all fours, but I seemed to have gotten some instincts to use my new body that finally kicked, in as I shook the water out of my fur. Walked over to the end of the plank to see if I could get a reflection of what I looked like in the water. Thankfully I could and the image the water showed I recognized. I saw the blue furred form the Avenger Servant called Hessian Lobo, at least a smaller version as I wasn't as big as the original.

But my body wasn't that of a Servant as I couldn't see a Stat Page image in my head. Well, who ever had sent to the world of One Piece had given a badass body even if it wasn't human. Though I wished that I could actually speak and not make barks.

I walked away from the water, and towards the main door of the restaurant then I heard my stomach growl. I could deal with the bag later now I just wanted something to eat, and it just so happened that this place had food.

I lifted my right paw up and began to bang on the door, I kept doing so until I heard voices on the other side.

"I'm getting the door boss." An angry voice said, and I heard footsteps coming closer to the door. "Look, buddy, we aren't open yet, so could you go back to your-." The voice spoke again while opening the door and saw it was Patty that was speaking and stopped then he looked down and saw me. And in less of a second, he smacked it shut again.

Well, fuck you too Patty, thought as stared at the now closed door as I heard another voice speak.

"Was it a customer Patty?" I guess that Zaff it had that old feeling to it, at least it wasn't his 4kids voice.

"No, it was a giant fucking dog!" I heard Patty yell in what believed to be fear. I wondered why he was afraid of me he had faced down Krieg in canon without fear. So why was he scared of me unless? Of my god did Patty have a fear of dogs? Holy shit that hilarious, I mentally laughed at that big bad Patty was afraid of dogs.

"Patty we are in the middle of ocean why would a dog be here alone?" Zeff asked the violent chef.

"Maybe it heard about our restaurant and wanted to come here and eat?" A third voice spoke up and followed by it was a chorus of laughter.

"Your remarks are as shitty as your cooking Sanji. But trust me there was giant dog outside the door."

Guess this was the time to announce my presence. [Hey assholes! Could you open the door you got a hungry wolf out here.]

"See I told you there was a dog outside!" Patty yelled.

"You idiot that wasn't a dog, that was the sound of a wolf. Now would you let it in." I heard Zeff

"Hell I am, get somebody else to do it!"

"Since Patty is being a pussy, you do it Sanji." I heard Zeff order Sanji.

"Okay, I do it old man," Sanji responded, and I heard steps going towards the door. Before he opened, I tried to put on my best Amy impression. A second later Sanji opened the door in all in his suit and tie glory.

His swirly brows lifted as he looked at me. "Patty was right you are big. So why are you here?" He asked as he pulled out a cigarette from his jacket and lit it. It was at that moment my stomach decided to speak for me. "I guess that you're hungry?"

I gave him a nod.

"And you are able to understand what I'm saying?"

I nodded.

"You're probably from the Grand Line or something the old told me there were strange animals there. Now come inside so I can get you some food." Sanji walked back into the restaurant, and I gave him a bark in response and followed him inside.

"Old man we got a hungry customer here," Sanji shouted at Zeff who was sitting at one of the tables along with the rest of the chefs I guessed they were having breakfast and now I could smell the bacon, oh it smelled so good I could feel my tail wagging.

"And what does he want from the menu?" Zeff asked Sanji.

"I guess some meat and water from a bowl."

[Yes!] I barked, I could myself salivating over eating some well-cooked meat even in the morning. For didn't know with my super-canine body I could eat anything. I would wait and see with that since Chopper could eat meat despite being a herbivore, or if that was just an aspect of his Devil Fruit that allowed to do that.

"I'm going to take that as a yes," Sanji said and gave him nod in response. "All right I am back in twenty with it." He said as he went up the stairs to the kitchen.

While I just ignored the stares, the Chefs were giving me and walked to Zeff and laid myself next to him. I could see the former pirate look at me as I did so. "I'm not going to ask where you came from, but if you begin scratching the wood on purpose I will kick you out, is that understood," Zeff spoke, as he continued to eat his breakfast.

[Yes, sir!] I answered.

"Well, you're a smart one so what's your name boy?" Zeff asked. And I just gave him a flat stare for that one. "Oh right. Wolf can't speak." I made some motions with my paw hoping he would understand the meaning. "But, you can write? Well, you're still not the strangest animal I've seen. Hey, any of you got your block and pen on you?"

"Here boss," One of the chefs said.

"Thanks, Amanida," Zeff said as took the pen and paper. And put in front of me. "Here to write your name with."

I took the pen into my mouth and was about to begin writing my name, but then I stopped as the letters that composed my name had disappeared from my mind, and I couldn't remember it anymore. Well, fuck you too whoever sent me here I play your game as I began to write another name. One more suited to my current form.

Zeff picked up the block and looked at what I had written. "Well, your penmanship needs some more work. Hessian Lobo ah? What an unusual name, fitting for a wolf though. Though I've got to ask, what is with the bag?" Oh yeah, the bag I had almost forgotten about it, I made showing motion at Zeff, trying to wiggle the bag at him. Zeff blinked before he said anything. "You want me to remove it?"

I nodded.

"All right give me a moment." He said as he reached down to me with his knife and cut the rope that held the bag in place. Zeff to the bag off my back and put it in front of me, like had done the block and pen. "So, what's in the bag boy?" Zeff asked, and that was a question I would like answered too, but going by the world I was in, it was probably what I thought it was.

I flipped it over and out came a Devil Fruit. This one looked like a pineapple with markings all over its body and had an orange color.

"Sir is that what I think it is?" I heard one of the chefs ask I didn't know which as I was too busy looking at the fruit.

"Yes, my boys that is a Devil Fruit one of the treasures of the sea. But don't any of you touch it belongs to Lobo so he can decide what to do with it." I returned my attention back to Zeff. "So, are you going to eat it? I don't recognize that one so I have no idea what its power is."

I just gave him a look that tried to convey that I was going to eat it. I turned my sight back to the fruit, and I opened my mouth to take a bite of it. I really hoped that this was one of the Human-Human Fruit Models so that I could regain my ability to talk.

My teeth bit out a chunk of the fruit, and I swallowed it as quickly as possible. Then the after taste hit me, oh God how everyone underplayed how disgusting the fruit tasted, there were no words in existence that could describe the shit I had just eaten as I tried to gag it out.

"It seems it is true, that they do taste like crap." I heard Zeff laugh at my misery. I tried to glare at him, but that was then I felt a metaphorical switch in my mind appearing and turning on, and I felt something within me change.

I heard Zeff stop laughing and was now looking at me with curiosity. "Try giving yourself a look."

I blinked at him and looked down at my paws. The blue and white fur that had covered them was now a metallic gray.
