Chapter 1
"Uggh"
I loudly groan as I come to, and as I open my heavy eyelids the first thing that greets me is a beautiful blue evening sky with white fluffy looking clouds dotted throughout the sky. And as I'm staring at the beautiful images, I begin to hear loud ocean sounds, sounding as if large waves are crashing against a nearby cliff wall.
After a while I refocus and am immediately able to tell that I'm laying down on what seems to be thick grass, I immediately try to stand up but just as I was halfway up, I suddenly feel as bile rises out of me, forcing me to quickly turn over onto my hands and knees and acquiesce to the feeling, coughing up large chunks of what seems to be purple goop onto the green grass.
And as I'm done regurgitating everything, I open my eyes and am greeted by the sight of the disgusting goop changing colors from a deep purple to sickly black.
Seeing this strange sight confuses me greatly, but I quickly remember my situation and am forced to forget about it for the moment, and as I stand up, I can see where I truly am, and just as predicted, I am standing over a steep ocean cliff, positioned a few meters inland.
But just as I'm staring and marveling at the beautiful sight of the rolling waves and the boundless ocean, I'm suddenly brought back to reality when I suddenly hear loud screams coming from behind me.
I'm startled by this and quickly turn around to see what the commotion is, and as I do, I'm greeted with the sight of a large wall of trees that seem to be the entrance to a large green forest.
However, I don't have time to think of this as I'm hearing the frantic screams coming closer and closer to my position, so I quickly get my wits together and shakily run as far away as I can, not intending to be in the middle of whatever is happening.
I quickly run towards a large tree not far away and hide behind it, using the cover to find out what the heck is happening and why those screams sound so scared.
And just in time as well, as I suddenly see 2 small figures running towards the spot where I woke up, putting their backs to the cliff's edge.
And not a few seconds later another figure appears not far behind them, this figure, contrary to the first two, appears to be a large burly man holding a huge deadly looking machete on his broad shoulder.
This man quickly approaches these two figures and stands in front of them, and immediately the two groups begin to scream and yell at each other in loud voices, I can somewhat hear them, but I am quite curious as to why a man with a machete is chasing these people, so I, without thinking, leave the safety of the tree and slowly walk a bit closer, intent on listen on what they're saying.
As I get closer, I start to distinguish their individual physical traits that were not too visible from where I was at before, and to say I was shocked would be an understatement.
Obviously, the first that took all my focus was the one with the large weapon, and as I look at him closer, the more shocked I grew.
The things that stand out the most is that the guy was around 12 feet tall if I'm not mistaken, which is humongous, as far as I know there has never been a man this huge in recorded history, so I was very surprised to see a record breaker out of the blue; but the oddities of the man don't stop there, no they get even worse.
What caught my attention the most are his large arms; the biceps are as large as my head, indicating that this guy is as strong as an ox, yet what really freaked me out was the rest of his arm.
They appear to be supernaturally long, almost touching the ground and strangely also seem to be double jointed, gruesomely appearing as if it was broken at the forearm.
This stops me in my tracks for a few seconds before I once again focus and look towards the other two individuals, maybe they are as weird as this guy?
And just as expected, what greets me is again a strange picture, two people, one relatively good-looking woman with blue hair and good body proportions.
With the strangest thing about her being a gray eye mask that seems to be made for no purpose whatsoever other covering her face, yet it doesn't even do that properly as the facial features of the woman can still be easily discerned at a glance, followed by a red and white striped beanie hat with a big white puffball at its end as a close second for weirdness; not too strange overall, a bit out there, but nothing to be concerned about.
The other one however I cannot say the same about, it appears to be a short fat man that is not wearing any shirt over his round torso, leaving his somewhat muscular but broad chest exposed, what can be seen however are his green and black boxer shorts that strangely go up to above his belly button, and over this he wears broad orange pants that are being held up by orange suspenders.
And over that he wears a large purple trench coat open at the center, giving full view of his body and his weird clothing style.
A questionable sense of clothing so far, but nothing too strange as of yet, that is however until you come up to his face, a face so strange looking that only his mama would love looking at it, his most distinctive feature being a large red carrot shaped nose right at the center of said face.
And adorning all this is his hair which I very strangely styled to split into two spikes which point upwards right at the center of his head, looking as if a section of his hair was just cut off by someone and was simply left like that for no apparent reason.
As I take this all in, I'm greeted with a sense of Deja vu, I feel like I've seen these guys somewhere before but I'm just not sure where, but as I get closer, I simply ignore this strange feeling for the moment and focus on listening into what they are saying to each other, maybe I'll find something out from there; and just as I'm in range to finally hear them, the first thing I hear is the large monstrous man gruffly yelling at the two shorter people, "FOXY! you cheated!"
Chapter 2
Just as I'm in range to finally hear them, the first thing I hear is the large monstrous man gruffly yelling at the two shorter people, "FOXY! you cheated!"
The short fat man seems to react to this, making him this so-called 'Foxy' and immediately replies with a mad voice to his tone and with an exaggerated wave of his arms "What are you talking about Jack! Do you see any cheaters here? What are you saying to your captain?!"
The giant, this so-called 'Jack' replies back even louder, "You goddamn fox! What I'm talking about is you cheating in the games! There is just no way someone with a measly bounty of 4 million could best someone as great as me! I have a 25 million bounty after all! Plus! You weren't even all that good at hiding your cheating in the first place!"
When the giant says that I hear the blue haired girl whisper-shout at the Foxy guy besides her with a startled tone, "psst foxy I told you we should stop doing that, there was bound to eventually be people who would get mad!"
The Foxy guy then whisper-shouts back to her in reply, "Shush, I know that, now be quiet you're whispering too loud!"
The blue-haired girl seems to get mad at this comment and quickly whispers back even more fiercely, "What! No, you are!"
This continues back and forth for a while before the giant seems to get tired of it and takes a menacing step forward and yells "enough! You both are whispering too loud goddamnit! See this is why I would never join a crew full of imbeciles like you guys! Not only are you weak! But a bunch of dumbasses as well!"
This seems to finally bring the two idiots out of their stupor, with the Foxy guy yelling back with heat in his voice, "What are you saying Jack! It's already done, you are part of my crew and that final! Are you going back on your deal?! If you do, it will be known that Jack the Machete is a coward that lost the Davy Back Fight and deserves to no longer be a pirate!"
The giant stills for a second at this, before loudly laughing in response, "HAHAHAHAHA, well no one will know if I get rid of you guys here once and for all! This will be the end of both of you, for daring to mess with Jack the Machete!"
He takes another menacing step forward, and the two smaller figures begin to slightly tremble and back up towards the ledge of the cliff.
The girl then yells in panic, "Hey wait! If you kill us now our crew will tell everyone about what happened, and you will be disowned as a pirate!"
Yet, this statement doesn't seem to affect the giant any more than the previous one did, as he simply shrugs his big shoulders and nonchalantly replies, "Eh I also have my crew there, if they try to run away from the island and spread rumors about me, my crew will simply kill them all off! HAHAHA!"
As I hear all of these crazy things, I go into a stupor because I suddenly begin connecting all the dots of this situation together and start remembering certain things from my memory.
They are scenes from one of my favorite anime that I used to love watching weekly: One Piece.
More Specifically, scenes from a filler arc in the show that was so cringy and crappy that I had intentionally completely forgotten about it, that is until this very moment where I am forced to remember it.
It was about some scummy low tier pirate that went around causing trouble with the so-called Davy Back fights, where the winner of the game gets to recruit the losers crew members, and if they don't want anyone else from the crew, they could simply take the losers pirate flag or redesign it to look retarded, with the losing side being honor bound not to use it again if taken or display the shitty flag even if it makes a mockery of them; which by the way I found the whole thing completely idiotic and useless, since you know…they are pirates, they aren't meant to follow rules.
Anyways back to the present, as I see this scene in front of me, I start to put all the pieces together.
I woke up on a random cliff on what seems to be an island, with a disgusting aftertaste in my mouth that tasted worse than shit and that I had to throw up to mask its aftertaste, and then I see a bunch of strange people that seemed to fit characters from the One Piece show a little too much.
And now they are talking about being pirates, their crews and even the specific game, the Davy Back Fight.
All of this leads me to one simple conclusion! A conclusion that is so stupid and idiotic to think about but that seems to be hitting me right in the face regardless, IM IN THE FUCKING WORLD OF ONE PIECE!
Chapter 3
"Holy shit I'm in One Piece…A fictional show…of crazy pirates… and crazy marines…holly shit how the fuck is this real! How can this shit happen? Are all anime real? Am I in a coma or something? Am I currently in the hospital and this is all fake?" I kept asking myself questions about this situation that I find myself in, but guess what, no one fucking answers!
Then I asked "Wait am I in a fucking Isekai? Did I perhaps die or some shit? Hmmm I don't remember dying…to be honest I don't remember too much at all, I don't remember my name or any of my family and friends faces and names…shit its one of these scenarios…where the protagonist remembers everything about life except for the most important and personal shit of their life… not that I am the protagonist right? Hmm even if I am I can't think like that since if I get too cocky, I will just die off like any other schmuck. Even Luffy has been close to dying plenty of times."
As I'm asking myself all of these questions and going through a mini breakdown I get startled back to the present with a loud womanly scream of "noooooo". And when I face the situation that I completely ignored I see a scene that may haunt my dreams for the rest of my life (or not).
It's a foxy getting his right arm chopped off at the shoulder by a large machete due to trying to defend himself from the huge cold weapon with what seems to be a flimsy looking whip that he pulled from his pants; this resulted in bone and blood spraying all over the place, the grass, the dirt, the rocks, it's all stained red; I can even see the bloodied smiling face of that crazy long arms giant.
It appears that while I was lost in thought the world kept moving forward, and this fucked up situation happened.
What follows is as foxy holds onto his bleeding stump with his remaining hand and screaming bloody murder the giant raising up his machete above his head and swiftly and coldly swinging it down in between foxies hair peaks all the way into his skull. Which results in brain matter, bone fragments and blood once again fountaining out of foxy.
When I see this, I freak out and start immediately throwing up, this is the first time that I see something like this, and it is truly disgusting.
I mean one second everyone is fine and alive and the next second all I see is someone's life being snuffed out like a candle in the wind, it's just too much.
This leads me to stumble away in fear but also increases my rate of retching.
And as I was retching all over the ground it seems that the murderer heard my puking sounds because he turns to me and says, "oh would you look at that, we have got ourselves a peeper, well I'm sorry buddy but you can't tell anyone what you saw here, especially about the Davy Back Fight."
He starts walking towards me in large gaits, and he continues: "I would have taken you back with me to forget about all of this and have fun with that bitch over there with me and the boys, but this matter is about our honor as pirates, so no one must know, and that chick back there won't know how to do anything other than being a real bitch real soon, so you gotta go buddy".
As he walks closer to me, I can clearly see the difference in size between a giant and myself, I barely reach his waist for fucks sake! From my perspective his silhouette slowly covers the sky.
I walk backwards trying to get away from this crazy maniac, but I trip on some roots and fall on my ass.
The giant roars in laughter," HAHAHAHA the cliché backwards fall!" and continues moving towards me at a steady nonchalant pace, like he knows he's already won.
Which would likely be the case, if not for the memory that just randomly popped into my mind. I remember that foxy, the guy that's just a bleeding corpse now, having an interesting devil fruit in canon, the Slow-Slow Fruit!
I was wondering why he didn't use it on this long-armed giant, he should be able to easily win that way. Afterall It's a fruit that basically makes any target of said fruit extremely slow for up to 30 seconds! Its basically a cheat for most situations.
And as I'm trying to think of what could have happened a sudden memory comes to me; I distinctly remember the horrible aftertaste in my mouth after I woke up and that disgusting looking purple goop that landed on the grass after I wretched some of it up.
The dots connect together which in the end leads me to believe that I somehow got to eat that fruit before I was conscious!
And definitely before foxy could get to it, to confirm this idea I believe that this was the moment foxy got his fruit in the original!
He must have run away from this guy and found it near the cliffs edge and ate it out of desperation for survival.
So going off of this idea I put my hands in in a spider man pose, which I believe is what foxy does in canon, and yell with all my might "Slow-Slow Beam!"
