I wake up.

In any other situation, this would be nothing to be surprised of. The thing is — I distinctly remember dying.

I was in a hospital bed for so long I didn't even remember how life outside of it was. My parents would come once a month, and mother looked worse every time.

Having a daughter dying of cancer wasn't fun, I imagined.

I remember the day my lungs started to fail. I remember thinking: "This is it. Fifteen years, hun? Not bad".

And then I woke up — but I wasn't in the hospital anymore.

I was in a big room — too big. The house was made of wood.

I couldn't move.

For a few seconds, I imagined I was paraplegic but then, why wouldn't I be in the hospital? Where on earth?

The door is suddenly opened, taking me by surprise, and I scream. A giant walks in and takes me into its arms.

"Shhhh. Everything is fine, Bonney-chan" That was Japanese — I was sure of it. I knew some basic words, because well, I watched a lot of anime.

You don't have much to do when you know you will never live past 15.

Why was I in a place where people speak in Japanese?

What…

And then it clicked.

I died. This giant. A different house, a different language.

I was fucking reborn.

That's just great.

I would have so much fun learning how to read and properly speak…. And walk. And wasn't toothing extremely painful?

Really great.


The first months are uneventful. My first name is Bonney, not sure of the surname yet, I live with a single mother and we are not rich, but we weren't poor either.

I lived in a city called Pisces, and apparently, it was on an island. I hadn't seen myself in a mirror yet, but if I looked anything like my new mother I would be gorgeous. She had beautiful dark hair and bright green eyes.

I missed my parents and Audrey, who was my favorite nurse, but well… We all always knew I would die.

So, I avoided thinking about them. I was here now.

I started to crawl and soon enough I could walk. I babbled, but couldn't properly talk yet. After I completed one year, aka-san finally took me up and sat me in front of the bathroom mirror.

I looked nothing like her. My hair was pink and my eyes were violet.

How. On. Earth...

"This is you, Jewelry Bonney"

I stare at myself.

Jewelry Bonney.

Pink hair.

Violet eyes.

An Island.

A fucking island.

I was reborn in One Piece.

-'-

It took months for me to come to terms with the fact that I was an anime character. One with pink hair.

'At least I wasn't Sakura'.That was what I thought. But, if nothing else, I knew something about Sakura.

By the time I died we knew nothing of Bonney, besides that she loved to eat, could turn herself into a child and be strong enough to be part of the worst generation.

And that she had some sort of connection with the Whitebeards.

After accepting what happened it was time to decide. And oh boy, what a difficult choice.

I could try to become a pirate and live a life full of danger.

I could try to mess with some characters and the plot as a whole.

I could live a simple life, on this island, with my family.

What did I want to do?

I didn't know. I had no clue. There were a lot of characters that I loved, but here they were people. I didn't know how they would react and how this would change things.

Besides, would I even enjoy fighting? Would I want to spend my life on the run?

At least I have some time to think.


When I turned ten, everything changed.

I had learned how to walk, talk and write quickly. There wasn't a school of any kind, so all I did was help at home chores and train.

I hadn't made any friends. Interact with children being a teenager was to difficult.

I still hadn't decided if I was going to actually become a pirate, but better safe than sorry. I entered a local dojo that taught karate and trained like my life depended on it.

I knew it did.

By then, I was the best besides the teacher. I had discipline and wasn't afraid to get my hands dirty.

Until that day.

We were at the house. I was doing the dishes while Kaa-san cooked. Then we hear a scream and before we can do anything the door comes down.

And the marines come in. Behind them, a Tenryuubito with a bubble around his face. He stares at us and says: "Take the girl. I want her. Kill the old hag"

"Hai" The man comes near us and I finally get out of my state of shock.

Slaved. I was going to be a slave.

No way.

Why were they here, in the middle of South Blue? Had this happened the first time?

I didn't know.

I kick the first and before he can even scream. I hit him hard at the stomach, and he falls. I turn towards the next and scream "Run, kaa-san, run!"

The woman stays in her place. Tears stream down her face and her hand are trembling. And then I see why.

The Tenryuubito is pointing a gun at her.

I run towards him, but I am too late. He shoots.

The bullet hits her.

I scream something hits the back of my head and everything is dark.


I wake up on a ship, the steading moving makes me realize it. The memories of the last event run through my mind and I feel the tears stream down.

What had happened to her?

She died.

I knew that but I couldn't take it.

She could be alive.

She could.

She had to.

There are other girls around me. Some are sleeping, some are hurt, some cry. All the girls I can remember meeting passingly in my village are here. Only girls.

And that makes my skin crawl. God no. "Please tell me it's not what I am thinking it is" I can't stop saying out loud.

No one answers and I feel fear.

What the hell was going on?

I close my eyes and pray that this whole situation is a nightmare.

It wasn't.


A/N: So, what did you think? Things will be a little dark in the first few chapter, but there won't be anything explicit. Hope you all like this idea!

See you soon~
