okay, so this is this first ongoing story that i've posted on here... please be kind?

please keep in mind! this is a rough draft... kinda. i might come back and change some stuff later on... the first couple chapters will be rather short to start off.

this story is currently rated T because of minor cursing.

Disclaimer: is One Piece a Yaoi? No? I didn't think so...

*Thoughts*

"Talking"

~ Kami-sama's P.O.V.~

*Hm... Let's see... Oh my, that one shouldn't have died for another 50 years... I guess he'll go.* Kami thought as He looked at a file:

- Zoe X. Smith -

- 17 -

- Male -

- Run over, DOA -

"He never got to live his life so I guess I can give him that option..." Kami mumbled then called out for His assistant. "Mick!"

"Yes, Kami-sama?" Mick asked, entering His office.

"Go and get Mr. Zoe X. Smith from Death for me, okay?" Kami asked.

"Of course, Kami-sama." Mick replied and left.

~ 20 minutes later/ Zoe's P.O.V. ~

The strange man showed me into a large office before leaving.

"Ah... good, you're here." A regal looking man said.

"Um... where exactly is 'here'?" I asked.

"well technically we're in limbo. Though many would say heaven, but there is no in between place. After all you humans die and are born so often that it wouldn't be time efficient if I had to meet all of you before you get reborn." He explained.

"Uh... okay, um... why am i here?" I asked.

"Well, you were not meant to die for another 50 years so I've decided to give you a choice..." The man, who by now I was convinced was God, said.

"A choice? What kind of choice?" I asked.

"Well, you can either just 'pass on' get reborn with no memories, or... you can go to another realm with your memories and enjoy your life." He said.

"... Uh is that a trick question or something? 'Cause it's obvious that I choose the latter." I said.

"Good answer." He said. "Now there are some things that you need to know before I send you on your way, alright?"

"Sure." I nodded.

"First is that you most likely won't look like you do now, you'll be born into that world and therefor you will look like your relatives. Next, the world that you are going into is the world of One Piece-" He started to say.

"HELL FUCKING YES! OH YEAH! MY... uh... UNLIFE RULES!" I shouted in glee, doing a little happy dance.

"... 'Echem'... are you quite finished?" He asked.

"Uh... yeah, sorry." I said sheepishly, looking to the side.

"Now as I was saying... The world is the One Piece world, as such you'll have knowledge that will be useful. It's up to you how you use that knowledge. Now when you turn 2 you will find a devil fruit. If you find one before that do not eat it. Only eat the one you find on your second birthday. Before that you should learn as much as you can without drawing to much attention to yourself. You'll still have your eidetic memory so you don't have to worry about forgetting anything important. I'd advise just reading anything you can get your hands on while pretending to be reading it for the pictures or to look like you're copying someone." I nodded at this. "Now, that's all I needed to tell you so... let's get you on your way!" He said happily, and, just before He sent me through a strange hole in the floor He added. "Oh. I almost forgot, your new name will be: Monkey D. Zoe!"

"Shit!" I screamed as i fell.

that's all for now! i have more written but i need a break before my hands fall off...

also i need sleep. i will try to upload more asap!

ideas for the title are very much well come.
