Chapter 2: What the heck am I doing here in One Piece!?

A/U: When I'm beginning other fics, I'll upload a set of chapters like at least five before publishing to hold it together for some days while uploading some chapters. Now even though I'm farther on the manga than on the anime, I'm catching up with watching past episodes again to get at least descriptive info down for the fanfic.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, that is meant for Oda. The only thing I own is my is myself as an OC.

I didn't know how long was I asleep or if my life was still going on from the darkness surrounding me.

"You have come..." a very faint voice just coming into existence but I couldn't identify anything from the voice.

"Wait!" I shouted out loud reaching out and opening my eyes realizing that there was nothing in front of me and I was in some sort of alley.

I checked myself quickly if I was ok and if my stuff was still on me, thankfully I had my stuff with me and I felt fine but what was weird was the round fruit that just popped out of nowhere in front of me, it was multicolored with swirls, a straight stem and two white lines that go vertical on the left side and horizontal down the middle. I swore to myself that there was nothing there when I woke up and now this comes into life, I picked it up and turned it around to get a closer look, for some reason the colors appear to move.

"You understand right?" another voice just came out from the right side of the alley out to what appears to be a street.

I slowly inched my way towards the street but still hiding in the shade to make sure that no one saw me yet because I don't trust the owner of that voice because it had the distinction of a whiny brat. I took a look to the right and there was a huge dark blue building with black stripes up there that towered over the others that were white with red and green tiled roofs. I wondered why it looked so familiar until that same voice came out from the left side.

"You have to survive for one month without food or else my daddy will execute that girl you helped out!" with peering around to the left seeing some people there.

The one his back turned against me has a purple suit, some reverse bowl cut that's blond and has two more people standing on the sides of him wearing black pants, shoes and white caps, shirts that have that same insignia and symbol I saw in the dream.

Wait a minute, marines, a purple suit, don't tell me- when the two then began to grab someone in front of him and he moved to the right a bit, the captor was in vision, he has a white shirt, dark green pants, boots and headband and his 3 swords with 2 black and one white. I had to backtrack a bit into the alley to catch my breath with the realization that just came crashing down like a broken plane, I am in the world of One Piece. That means that I'm at least 9 days early since that was how long Zoro has been held in the base before Luffy came. I know that I have to join Luffy because I have a gut feeling that joining him will determine the fate of not only this world, but also my own. Even though I know how the plot goes, I have to at least make a difference even if it's already changing with me here.

Checking the colorful devil fruit in my right hand with my dragon charm bracelet on my wrist, what I got to lose? I need to have some power no matter how much it sucks because the only thing I'm good at is running but everything else is average. Fearing how these are supposed to taste horrible, I slowly took a bite but what I didn't expect was for it to taste like pizza. Ok that was weird on how they were supposed to taste like crap so I took another and it came to be chicken. After about 3 more bites, I've soon realized that these tastes were basically from home and the last one made me cry, it was carne asada that my family would make when we are all together for a day to relax.

I didn't feel any different and even tried to change into an animal or an element with no success, confirming that the fruit is a paramecia type. Meh, it will come by soon, I hope I have smash on my 3ds to play as my favorite plumber Mario. As I went for my pocket, I soon saw I where my shorts were at have been changed with blue suspenders, um ok but when I saw myself in a empty window, I didn't know whether to scream in terror or absolute excitement, I am wearing brown shoes, blue suspenders with gold buttons, white gloves, red shirt and hat with an M and my face well, it's been changed up to be round, eyes were still brown and hair as well though my nose is now a bulb along with a black wavy moustache.

Holy hell, I'VE TURNED INTO MARIO! This is incredible! I never thought that I could become one of the greatest video game characters of all time, but more importantly was this from that devil fruit I ate? Since it had the distinction of a smash ball, I guess it's the Smash-Smash fruit where I am able to take on the forms of all the smashers from the most recent in the entries, 3ds and wii u and I guess that includes the four dlc smashers Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy and Ryu. But I wonder if this affects my own skills without a form and how different it will be to fight in life instead of using a controller.

Ah darn it I have been so self-absorbed on my new powers that the sun is already setting down. I don't want to sleep out on the streets from risking myself towards the marines since I wasn't born here or anywhere else and I don't really want to sleep like I'm homeless well until I join Luffy. Having decided where I should go and changing back to my normal form, I walked out of the alley and went towards the only bar in Shells Town already watching the vendors pack up for day.

As I entered in, I saw Rika cleaning up behind the counter cleaning up after another day but it will be different if her mom will let me stay for the next 9 days.

"Oh sorry mister but we are closing right now." Rika said with a smile that wasn't that big of a D smile, but good enough to feel good from watching.

"Um, I'm sorry but can you maybe call your mom down here? I want to ask her something important." I replied trying to be modest with myself as Rika has already gone for her mother.

She soon came down asking me, "Well hello there, what is it?" with my response being sort of hashed up.

"I'm looking for a place to stay because I don't have anywhere else to go, I just woke up here." because I didn't want them to know about how they are some characters in a show and it hit me that these are just not characters, they are living breathing people.

"Well sure if you don't have anywhere to go and don't worry about the finances, it's on the house since Rika has been upset that her rescuer has been taken away."

"Thank you Miss-"

"Ririka, it's Ririka and you?"

"Oh! I'm Victor, Victor Davila." since it didn't really matter that much if my real name is used.

"Well nice to meet you Victor!" said Rika with a smile that made me more comfortable to rest up for tommrow.
