Chapter 1

Sunday night, the real world, Natalie's bedroom…

"Shit!"

I glanced at the time. How the hell was it three in the morning?! I'd been so busy reading One Piece fanfiction I had forgotten that I needed to sleep!

I groaned before switching off my tablet and laying down.

"Man, I wish I could be a pirate! It would be awesome!" I mumbled before finally falling asleep just as lightning struck.

"Wake up, sleepy head!"

I opened my eyes and found myself in a white void room. An old man with long white hair and a long white beard was sitting on the other side of the room smoking a pipe. I blinked before I sat up and glanced around.

"Where am I?" I asked the old man, who took a puff from his pipe while barely glancing at me.

"You've arrived at The Gate. You said something about wanting to be in One Piece, yes?"

I blinked.

"You were watching me?!"

"For quite a while. You really are a sad sack of shit aren't you?"

"Are you making fun of me, you old bastard?"

The old man laughs at me.

"Quite lively for someone who got struck by lightning!"

I gawk. When the hell did that happen?

"I'm just a twenty-four-year-old shut-in Otaku who spends all her time watching anime and abusing TV Tropes!"

"Well, yes, but you also used to be a magical girl when you were younger also!"

I simply chose to ignore that statement.

"I'm about to make your dreams come true!"

My eyes lit up and my jaw hit the ground. Was this old man a genie or what?

"Really? Sweet!"

"Yeah, but there's a catch."

"Screw the catch! Just send me there already!" I didn't care if there was a catch, I was going to be a pirate!

The old man stared at me incredulously, complete with sweatdrop. The look on his face could be read as what the fuck have I done?

"Well, okay, if you don't want to know the catch, here's a few things you need to know. Your name is Nightingale Natalie, you're a black magic user and your weapon of choice is a hammer named Mjolnir."

"Mjolnir, eh?" I stroked my chin in thought. I then remember that Mjolnir was the name of Thor's hammer.

"Ready to go?"

"Never been ready in all of my life!"

"Close your eyes. I don't want your trip into the One Piece universe to go horribly wrong, you know!"

I close my eyes and suddenly I felt like I was falling, my hair and clothes flowing through the sky. Then I felt a slight thump and I opened my eyes. Wherever I was, it was dark and as I moved my arms and legs, I noted I had chains on them and I felt my neck. I had a collar on my neck.

"Oh, hell no!" I whispered to myself. Was slavery the catch? A sudden burst of light laid down on me. I screwed my eyes shut, having become accustomed to the darkness.

"We have another one. Taker he into the auction house."

I was forcibly dragged to my feet and dragged into a strange room. Admittedly this was technically my fault as I had insisted on not knowing what the catch was and now I was being forced into slavery! I knew this was One Piece where just about everyone had a dark past but this was fucking ridiculous!

Soon, I was paraded around a stage in the Auction House. Somehow that old bastard had dropped me straight into Sabaody. My clothes were tatted and slightly stained and my head was still hurting from whatever the hell happened earlier and the lights and sounds made me confused and nauseous. I didn't know how I had gotten myself into this mess and I wasn't too keen to find out.

"Sold to the Celestial Dragon Saint Charloss!"

Wait, Celestial Dragon? Before I could even react, I was forcibly lead off stage and standing before me was a ugly obese guy with snot hanging out of his nose and wearing a strange bubble on his head. Gross. I don't want that near me, like ever.

I gritted my teeth as he looked me up and down.

"What's with the sour face? You should be happy that you're going to be a slave for a World Noble!"

With that, Charloss grabbed hold of my ass and squeezed hard. I elbow Charloss in the stomach in retaliation. The last thing I needed was someone as nasty as him touching me! I quickly broke free from his grip and made off in a random direction. Honestly, I was desperate to getaway.

"Get the bitch!"

I kept on running, not even bothering to look back. Then something hit me hard over the head and I fell to the ground before blacking out.

When I awoke, I found myself in a strange place. It looked almost like a palace, what with Charloss being a rich brat and all.

"The bitch is awake!"

The pain in my head was unbearable and I was stripped down to my panties and fitted with a new explosive leash. I was slightly scared but I forced myself to hide it as Charloss was arguing with some guy about the branding. I start to fight my way out of my bounds but a sudden shock of electricity burst through my body and I screamed in agony before pissing myself.

"Disgusting," I could vaguely hear Charloss mutter before a hot poker was suddenly pressed into my back. I recoiled in pain before I blacked out.

Soon, I found myself trapped in a steady schedule of beatings, torture and rape. I'm pretty sure I had lost a part of my soul to those bastards. I wanted to escape, run away where I could not be found but I was constantly under watch and I hated it. I hated being trapped in a gilded cage and only being the slave to someone like Charloss.

Then I found the keys towards my freedom. A strange magic hammer and a Samsung Tablet. Some idiot had left it out in his study when I was cleaning it, so I totally did the right thing and swiped the -wait, how is a Samsung tablet able to exist in the world of One Piece?

I picked up the tablet and switched it on. A black magic app was on the device and I decided to look through it. The words were either written backwards or ran through Google Translate several times over but somehow I could read it.

Over time, I stole items that I needed in order to make my escape. Clothes, alcohol, anything I could get my hands on that I needed, as well as making good use of the black magic app.

One day, or should I say night, I made my leave. After everyone had gone to bed, I magically unlocked myself from my shackles and climbed out of the bed.

I flexed my wrists and stretched my legs as I found my magic bag and got dressed. After I slung my bag over my shoulder, I went to the window and managed to successfully get it open.

Luckily for me, I was on the ground floor, so I climbed out so I could disappear into the night, away from the hell I used to live in. After I had managed to steal a boat from the harbour, I sailed to sea and an uncertain future.

Now what was I going to do?

I had vowed to burn down the Government and destroy the World Nobles, but I would have to become strong first.
