A/N: Hello, everyone and welcome. Before we begin let me say that this is my first experience with any type of fanfiction - writing one, that is. So first off, thank you all for clicking on and giving this fic a read. I do hope you all enjoy it. Umm... oh, this is an SI, but that is probably obvious. Er, I'm not sure how frequent updates will be. SIs are notorious for being difficult to write, figuring out what to change if anything, and figuring out how to keep true to the story and characters can be hard. Even harder is writing a fic where the SI knows absolutely nothing about the world she/he is in. I'm going to have to figure out a way to keep my OP knowledge from leaking into Charlotte when she's not supposed to know every little thing.
So, strap in and hold on tight ladies and gents. I hope you all enjoy Charlotte's story. Also, I DO NOT own One Piece.
PROLOGUE
"Please... just give me one more chance! I know I can make a difference."
"You've said that the last six chances I gave you."
"I know, I know, but I know that this time will be it!"
"Every chance I give you is a chance that someone else could have at a second life."
"This will be the one, I can feel it. I know that this world, this life, will be different from the rest."
"... You have wasted six lives... for your sake, you better hope that this will be the one. After all the other worlds you managed to mess up - "
"You can't blame most of those on me. I mean, honestly, who on earth could survive the Attack on Titan universe? Anyone would have gotten eaten by a titan!"
"And your excuse for Harry Potter?"
"How was I supposed to know that those things were poisonous? I didn't learn about those in Care of Magical Creatures! That was completely the school's fault."
"No, it was your fault for thinking that was any sort of way to put the Death Eaters out of commission."
"Fine, but there is no way you can blame me for what happened in the Walking Dead world."
"... You got the entire group killed."
"Okay, so you can blame me."
"And I don't even get me started on what you did in Fairy Tail."
"... I guess that Hogwarts motto had something right, eh? Never tickle a sleeping Dragon?"
An exasperated groan echoed through the white space surrounding the girl in question. "And your excuse for what happened in HunterxHunter?"
"How was I supposed to know he was an assassin?"
"They warned you!"
"... Oh yeah."
"And we can't forget your blaze of glory in the Inuyasha world, now can we?"
"That fire was an accident, you disembodied, all knowing neanderthal!"
"I can't believe the boss lets that girl talk to him that way..."
"She's been around a loooong time, my friend. She spent years in each of those worlds. Normally its one chance and that's it... but the boss has a soft spot for tears."
"Really? Is that how she's made it this far?"
"This is your last chance. I mean it this time, Charlotte."
"Sure thing, bud."
"Do not call me - ugh, you know what? Go ahead. After this I won't be seeing you again. I take it you know the rules?"
"Mmhmm, yeah. Rule one, don't screw things up too much -"
"Little late for that."
"Silence from the peanut gallery!" Charlotte snapped. "Don't you lazy lumps have other souls who died tragically to harass?"
"Charlotte."
The girl cleared her throat uncomfortably, turning her grey eyes upwards in the direction that the voice was echoing from. "Sorry, sorry. Ah... rule number two, try to fit in. Make friends. And remember, if you can stay alive for the story we know, then you get to live out your life in that world. Right?"
"And rule number three?"
"You have to try to make a difference."
"The key word is try. The last few times you tried too hard. Not everything can be changed, Charlotte. It's all about finding the ripples that can be changed and shaped to make the world better rather than worse. Your visions - "
"Anyway I can trade those in for a less annoying gift?"
"I know that they can be... overbearing, but they will guide you and help you and your friends in times of need."
"Okay... I'm ready then, I guess," Charlotte took a deep breath. "Well, it was nice remembering all of you guys while I could, I suppose. So, where is it off to this time? Sailor Moon? Oooh, how about Blue Exorcist. Warrior cats? That would be cool. I could totally kick Tigerstar's ass and steal all of Firestar's glory. Ooh! Dragon Ball! Send me to Dragon Ball!"
"You knew all the other worlds you went to, and it did not seem to help you at all. So this time, we will be sending you to one you know nothing about."
"Whoa, wait a second, that was not part of the deal!"
"Goodbye, Charlotte Sinclair. And just a warning? Should you come across any strange fruits, eat one. In this world, the typical strength of normal people levels at around extraordinary and extends higher up to demon and monster level strength. Eating one may be your only chance."
"Strange fruit? What the hell kind of place are you crazy assholes sending me to?"
"Hell."
"... Well shit, that's reassuring." Charlotte ran a hand through her long black locks. "Fine. Fine. Where's the damn door?"
"Door? Oh no. This time you're taking the express route."
"What express - shit! FUCK YOU, BUD!"
"Enjoy your flight, madame."
"Bet you twenty bucks that she dies within a month."
"A month? Nah, I give her all the way up to the separation. She'll die without them all there to protect her."
"... Fifty says she dies during Arlong."
"Boss! You can't take part in the pot! That's just shameful!"
"WHY YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE INSECTS- "
