Just My Luck

by AmbientTime

At long, long last I was on my way to fulfilling my dream! I was finally on my way to Japan! But then the plane crashed, along with my dreams, and I quite literally fell into a new world. Will I be able to find new friends? Family? A new dream? Well, if I can join the Strawhats, yes! . . . Trying my hand at an SI/Self Insert.

1. Prologue

Just My Luck: Prolouge

The first time I laid eyes on my new life, it was from a birds-eye view. After ten years of planning and studying, I had finally boarded the plane that would take me to Japan. However, that new life I was seeing? I wasn't sure what it was at that point, but I knew three things. One: this was not Japan, two: I really hate airplanes, and three: I was about to die.

I suppose I should properly explain. See, when I left my parent's house that morning, I thought that Customs and the TSA would be my biggest challenges. I mean, I love traveling! But then something malfunctioned a couple hours into our flight, and the plane was going down. And of course, with my luck – or lack thereof – I was in the washroom when it happened. I thank every deity I know of that I was washing my hands at the time and not caught, quite literally, with my pants down. However, this still meant that I was far away from a seatbelt when the plane ripped itself apart. Next thing I knew, I was freefalling towards the ocean. Now mind you, I've always wanted to try skydiving. I'm an adrenaline junky. But an unexpected fall from an airplane without a parachute? That tore quite a few expletives from my mouth. Especially since I had been passively waiting (hoping) for something to kill me since elementary school, and now that I was so close to reaching my dream I was about to die. Just my luck. So, like the mature adult I am, I folded my arms, scrunched up my face, and pouted as I waited for my end to come.
