Hi~ It's been a long time since I've written anything, and it's my first time writing something for One Piece, but I thought I'd try my hand at an OC-centered fic. For the moment, this story doesn't really have an end goal—we're just going to try to have an adventure. Hope you enjoy!
prologue
It was a strange looking fruit—shaped kind of like a guava, but translucent enough to show the pit at its center, and with dark swirls etched into its skin. I stared at it for a long time as I wondered if it was edible, eyes narrowed, brow raised, arms crossed firmly against my chest.
In the end, however, my growing hunger and my growling stomach won the battle against logic (in which I tried to reason that the fruit could potentially be the toxic product of a genetic mutation and if I ate it, I could die) and I figured, fuck it, it was probably harmless.
As I plucked the colorless ball from its branch with a heedless shrug, I assured myself that I deserved a snack after my long and arduous hike. Never mind that I was lost in the Sumatran rainforest during what I'd hoped would be the greatest solo-adventure of my life—insert nervous chuckle here—I would worry about how to get un-lost once I restored my blood glucose levels and maybe took a nap.
A careless bite later, I'd unknowingly sealed my fate. And while the fruit's wretched, bitter aftertaste slowly built in the back of my throat, I barely noticed that everything around me started spinning into nothing.
The last thing I remember, there was a ringing—a voice that was not a voice, offering me the name of the devil.
