Helllooo! I'm one the most horrible people when it comes to keeping a story going after the initial chapter so try not to be disappointed! I'm a horrible updater. Try not to be surprised when I update around 2 years after the initial publishing. Review are welcome.
I am not, nor will I ever own One Piece. The only thing I own is my own character. The whole story's centered around my OC and how she fares in the One Piece universe. Enjoy ~
How to make a wish
So why am I here? I believed, THINK, that I have lived long enough. Too long, really. So why?
Honestly, it all started with that wish. One, silly, little, measly wish. Okay, it's not really little but it's still a wish.
It was nothing really. Just the old "reincarnation into another world" kind of thing. Like those SI stories I used to read online. I lived in the modern world, the one where smartphones and politics and the ever so deadly bane of everything, paperwork, existed. There was just something about me that never fitted in quite right.
Maybe it was the fact that I never cared for any form of romance? As in, I would flirt, but nothing and I mean nothing was ever to be taken seriously? Maybe it was the fact that I never did anything with my life other than read, read and read? Even better, perhaps it was how much of an absolute society reject I was that topped it all off. I loved fiction. I loved fiction so much that I drowned myself in it and never came out. Needless to say, I loathed reality.
My life was simple. I lived, I died. A blank face in the crowd, someone no one really cared for. There were those who were friends who were actual genuine friends. I never had those. Then there were the friends who used you and discarded you once you became a nuisance. Seriously, I may be a reject but even I would find it suspicious if someone suddenly acted all nice and friendly for no apparent reason. My family pretty much disowned me the second I made it clear I didn't want to strive to become what they call "a better person." Overall? I died alone. From heart failure while eating ramen of all things.
If you want me to tell you how the afterlife felt, well, thanks for asking. Some say it's a blank space, some people say it's either heaven or hell. Others say there is no afterlife, that you'll be in the state before you were born and stay like that forever more.
My experience? There was an office. An honest to god office was where I ended up. A pretty clean one too.
The whole theme was modern; a white desk with a computer and potted plants, comfy chairs that somehow looked sleek at the same time, and the best part was the holograms. Blue, flickering holograms were everywhere, with words upon words of information. If it wasn't sci-fi, then I don't know what is.
The desk attendant looked normal enough, a brunette in a typical office lady attire sat behind the desk. I took the seat directly opposite and waited.
Eventually she looked up. '[Name], I welcome you to the afterlife. Congratulations [Name], you have won the "Once every millennium afterlife wish-granter". I am your attendant and you are here to discuss how you would like to spend your wish.
I rolled my eyes. 'Seriously, we both know this is a pain in the ass so maybe, just maybe, could you just point out any loopholes in the whole system so we both don't need to waste any more brain cells interrogating each other?' The attendant merely raised her eyebrow. 'I'm sorry, was that your wish?'
Groaning, I leant back and sprawled against the chair. 'Nothing I say, until I very specifically say, "I will make my wish, and it is…" is my actual wish. Everything after that is my wish and that's final, so don't even bother trying to trick me.'
The attendant sighed. 'I had hoped so too…' she muttered. Then she frowned. 'If you don't mind me asking, how are you not panicking? Usually people would ask to be reunited with their loved ones or revenge. That is, after they've screamed my ears off demanding an explanation of what's going on.'
I gave a nonchalant shrug. 'Honestly? I've seen and read way too many things to even be remotely surprised that it's happening to me in person. On my list of "Top 10 most surprising things that could happen to me after I die," this,' I gestured around the office,' is nowhere near making it on the top thousand. And no, you don't want to know my Top 10. Seriously, just, don't even go there.'
I leant forwards and rest my elbows on my knees. 'I too have a question, what's with the whole "Once every millennium afterlife wish-granter"? Just because I'm not panicking doesn't mean I'm not confused. I just handle it better than most. Actually, just explain everything people would normally ask you. Saves me some time.'
Her expression showed a hint of annoyance before moving on to resignation and finally settling on professional. 'Very well, please listen carefully. I would rather not repeat myself twice.'
"Once every millennium afterlife wish-granter," is, in short, a program which Death itself runs in order to amuse itself. Once every millennium, a recently deceased random soul will be dragged here, to the "Wish Base" and given the chance to make a wish. As long as Death is able to grant it, it will be granted regardless of what it is. Two other "Beings", Chaos and Order will either support you fully or try to thwart you somehow to restore the "World" you decide to effect to their rightful paths, or "Worlds" if you choose so. Life has accepted this programmed with Death as it too, gets rather bored. Others like Fate and Fortune get rather annoyed with the setup, but the program is still functioning regardless. You only get one wish and the only kinds of wish you can't make is either something beyond of Death's power, wishing for more wishes, or becoming a "Being" such as Death itself. Your wish must either be spoken or written down. Whatever you decide is completely up to you. Yes, you can redo your life completely. Yes, you can be reincarnated into another world of your choosing. Like I said, completely up to you. There are no other strings attached. If you wish to refuse this offer, then whatever was supposed to happen to you will take its course and you will forget this ever happened.'
I blinked. 'That's quite a bit to take in. May I have some time to myself?' The attendant nodded solemnly. 'You have all the time in the world.'
I'm breaking the Fourth Wall. It's too tempting not too. But then again, I kinda did that at the beginning didn't I? Sorry not sorry.
I wasn't kidding when I said this whole situation wasn't surprising. I've seen this kind of thing, or at least had thought of this situation happening somewhere in my fiction mind.
Step 1: Freak Out.
Seriously?! There are sooooo many people that deserved this more than I did! I mean, I was a rather selfish bastard in my past like but really, Death? Randomly picking souls? Why the heck was I chosen? Is there a lottery or something? Isn't anyone afraid I was going to screw things over? Like, really badly?
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
WHY ME?!
But then I stopped short. Wait a minute… Wasn't this is kind of behavior that Death was hoping for?
I glared at the ceiling and attempted to smash it with pure willpower. Well screw you too!
Step 2: Analyze the situation.
Was I in danger of dying immediately? No.
Was I captured in any way, shape or form? No.
Is there any danger to run from? No.
Any immediate threats? No.
Any obvious manipulations? Yes, Death wants entertainment.
What do I have on me? The clothes I died in. At least they weren't covered in ramen. Joy.
What situation am I in? I'm being forced to take part in the "Once every millennium afterlife wish-granter," program. Currently has eternity to figure out what I want.
What should I do to ensure physical and mental survival and hopefully health? Make sure I pick a "good" wish and don't screw myself over without approving the consequences.
Step 3: Use analyzation to take logical actions.
I must make a wish, there's no point passing up this kind of opportunity. Even if it is for someone else's entertainment, at least I don't have a "mission" of sorts to go on living.
The wish must be made carefully to maximum effect. Think over the wording very carefully, one mistake can cost myself everything. Write it down, don't say it. There's less chance of malfunction this way.
'Excuse me? Could I have some paper and a pen? I need to plan this,' I asked.
The attendant didn't even look up and handed over what I requested. Sweet.
Step 4: Think carefully and plan.
I started jotting down all the things I needed to remind myself about.
I will reincarnate myself in an anime of sorts. It was one of the things I daydreamed about when I was alive after all. I needed some action in my next life, too boring otherwise. On the other hand, the dangers of going in to anime were numerous. If I decided to go somewhere like Naruto I wouldn't survive the first ten days. Therefor there must be precautions. I must be stronger both physically and mentally and learn how to fight. I need to learn everything my old life failed to teach me and gain the experience that I lacked. How should I achieve this?
I continued like this for a long time. The reason I say "long time" is because there wasn't anything in the Wish Base that allowed me to keep track of time in the first place. The attendant remained silent, most likely waiting for me to make the first move.
In the end I decided to head over to One Piece. All the other universes required me to be extra close to the action to even do anything to affect the cannon in the first place. With One Piece, there were a lot of things I could do that could reshape that universe to my liking. I wouldn't be near too much action if I wanted to, after all in One Piece, I had all the Blues and the entire Grand Line to work with.
True, I could just make a super long wish that practically plans out my entire life but what fun would that be? I needed a challenge, something that can give me the thrill my past life ever so lacked.
What should my role be? I wanted something with impact, preferably making all the Emperors respect me for one thing or another. Then there's the timeline itself. I needed to go far back enough to plant the seeds, but I also want to track Luffy and make sure everything's going smoothly. Yup, I'm a stalker.
I don't want to interfere with the Straw Hat Pirates directly, perhaps being friends, family or acquaintances with some of them? I wanted Luffy to become the Pirate King, that's the whole point of the manga after all.
Blackbeard had to go, but how to do that without screwing everything over? I wanted Ace alive, but Luffy needs the wakeup call on how weak he is. Sabo was needed in the revolutionary, but I want the ASL trio to be together.
What about my real identity? Should I even tell anyone in the first place? What if there was someone from my world already in One Piece? Wait, I could just include in my wish that no one from any other worlds would be in that particular universe before or during my time there. Ah, how I love loopholes!
Then there was the World Government and the Celestial Dragons themselves. Those bastards that treated the world like chess, like they're Gods or something. They had to go as well, no way I wasn't going to do anything about it. The best way to do that was through Monkey D. Dragon, the "Most Wanted Man in the World" himself. He'd probably be suspicious, I either need to convince him that my situation is real or provide a good enough excuse or backstory to lie about it. So much planning to be done…
Thinking everything through made even my mind shut down on itself. If I wasn't dead, I would have drunken galleons of coffee in order to keep me going. Wait, what would happen if I made Luffy drank coffee? Oh Gods, I've got to warn Nico Robin when the time comes…
Of course, there's the problem with devil fruits. I could literally make up a devil fruit and set the limits of what I can do myself. I didn't want it to be overpowered, just extremely useful. I didn't want to awaken it immediately either, I wanted to actually work for this one. I know it's stupid, but hey! This is my wish so I'm allowed to be stupid. Should I stick inside the rules? I could give myself "magic" and not be a devil user at all. Nah, it's going to be more realistic.
My occupation? A good way to keep track of everything, be feared and respected, and make my actions and knowledge less suspicious than it would be…
An information broker!
That should work, now to work out the finer details. How I'm supposed to learn how to become one in the first place for example…
Drafting everything took ages. I had to reconsider all the factors again and again before I was finally satisfied. Then I would remember something important and rewrite everything again. I knew the guilt from knowing that my selfish wish would have created much grief and misfortune to those it effected, but overall, I was just that selfish. If sacrifices is what it took for me to have my wish, then I'm willing to pay it.
A/N: You don't have to read this, but it you want a basic summary of everything go ahead.
Final Wish:
I will make my wish, and it is that I will be reborn 10 times, each being a human girl and retaining my memories from my previous life and all the lives after that forever more, before being reborn for the final time in the universe that my previous life recognizes as "One Piece" at precisely when Portgas D. Ace is born as the direct niece of Dracule Mihawk, also known as the "World's Greatest Swordsman," due to the wish I am making.
After that, whatever the "Beings" decide to do with me is their choice, however I will not ever repay or repent in anyway shape or form for my actions during these 11 lives. I will continue to be reincarnated, except after I die from the "One Piece" universe I will lose all my memories like a normal soul would. For the rest of my soul's existence, it will carry a journal with its entire story starting from the details of the making of this wish, to the end of time itself. Nothing can destroy it, everything is automatically recorded, and it cannot be read by anything other than my soul. It cannot be read to anything either, nor can it be recorded in any way shape or form.
Once birthed into the "One Piece" universe, my father will be long dead before I am born. He may be anyone that has no negative impact with myself as a person or my plans for the universe. (Surprise me please). My mother will die within 10 years of my birth due to murdering a family of Celestial Dragons to defend the inhabitants of the island she was on and consequently dies of a Buster Call. The island the Buster Call takes place at will be completely uninhabited other than my mother at the time. My mother will leave me with Dracule Mihawk when I am 1 year old and we will love each other like true Father and Daughter until Death does us apart. He will train me in swordsmanship, the ways of piracy, and everything he himself has ever known and introduce me to "Red Haired" Shanks, "Dark King" Silvers Rayleigh as well as Whitebeard and his crew. The adults mentioned above will grow to love me like an adopted niece, and they will continue to help and support me until I die, or they die first.
Dracule Mihawk will be defeated by the next "World's Greatest Swordsman" which he himself would have personally trained (it is his only disciple) for 2 years in a fair duel, and be killed, satisfied with his life and death. Dracule Mihawk will not die before I turn 20 no matter what. His killer must have green hair and uses the Three Sword Style. I myself will die at precisely the age of 86 peacefully in my sleep. I will not die before this, nor will I be horribly injured or sick in any way shape or form that would hinder me in combat for more than three days throughout my entire life. I will not kill Dracule Mihawk's killer, nor will his killer kill me regardless of my level of swordsmanship.
I will not have a horrible love life.
I will leave Dracule Mihawk's care when I turn 16 with his permission. I will gain a weapon suited to my personal needs and personality that can only be used by me before I turn 16. I will have mastered Haki to be then. The weapon must be able to channel my devil fruit abilities without ever breaking. The weapon must be able to function perfectly without the use of other tools or objects.
At 19, I will officially become the "World's Best Information Broker," and become the "Second Most Wanted Person in History." I will be well respected, regarded with great fear by my enemies, and all my loved ones that die after me will attend my funeral. I will be buried with my most prized possessions, and all those who disturb my body will be cursed to be extremely unlucky with great misfortune for as long as they live.
I will discover and eat a devil fruit within a week of birth. This particular devil fruit is the Saundo Saundo no Mi, or the Sound Sound Fruit. It will not have been eaten or discovered by anything or anyone before I eat it. The user will be able to control sound at will, including the vibrations that make up sound. The user can manipulate sound with the only limits being; the user can only gain power within the domain of "sound," and their own imaginations. The user does not have to use their mouth or vocal cords to generate sound. When "awakened," the user will become a being equivalent to the "God of Sound." The user must learn to use the devil fruit and allow a minimum of 2 years after consumption before being able to "awaken" the devil fruit. I will not lose a comrade or loved one to awaken it. I will gain resistance to sea stone to the point where I can function as I would without it, except I cannot use my devil fruit powers.
Within the 10 times I am reincarnated, I will learn the following and become the best at them all in the history of that particular world. I will learn how to fight and consequently become the 'Strongest Human that Ever Existed" in each universe, in a manner that will transfer over to my 11th life (not counting the one before I made this wish and anything before that) and be retained in the form that I will be able to use it regardless of the difference in universes. This must include swordsmanship, material arts, assassination, leadership skills, manipulation, hand to hand combat, street fighting, the job of an information broker, becoming a weapons mistress, the skills of a doctor/healer/medic, mental combat and tactics along with planning.
The World Government will be destroyed in my lifetime. Monkey D. "Straw hat" Luffy will successfully find One Piece and be crowned "Pirate King," with all of his first 20 original crewmembers still alive and in excellent health. All the members of the first original 20 of the Straw Hat Crew will achieve their dream within their lifetime. They will all die by their own terms, after they have turned a minimum 40 years old. The next era will be rather peaceful and at least 50% less corrupt than the eras I will live in.
All of my reincarnations' universes cannot contain any soul that knows of my previous life's world until my soul has left it.
My soul will be "human," regardless of how many times I reincarnate until I get sick of it.
That's it. Nothing above can change, no matter what. Otherwise this wish is invalid.
I finally put down the pen and rubbed my eyes tiredly. 'Well that took a pretty long time!' I commented.
Overall? I practically just planned out my entire One Piece life with pre-preparation. Of course, I didn't plan out everything. As a certain rubber head Captain would think; "what's the point of having an adventure when you know what's going to happen?"
Or in my case: "How can you screw things up when you already know what's going to happen?"
Well then brain, challenge accepted!
Aaaaaaand cut! Like I said, reviews are welcome. I apologies beforehand for any grammar or spelling mistakes. Yes, she doesn't have a [Name] yet. Have a nice day!
