1 Chapter 1: Overused Origin Story

A/N: Please understand that this story is something I wrote on the spot while staring at my phone screen. Coming up with what to write on the spot means that I didn't plan out most of the things. I just wrote as the ideas came along.

Deep in the abyss of space, there lies a place like no other. Said place is neither physical nor spiritual.

Have you ever wondered what nothing is?

What is nothing when it still has a name to be called? What is nothing when we know that "nothing" is still there? Quite the topic isn't it?

Well.. in the dark Void of Nothingness, is something that you would completely expect, nothing.

It has been like that for as long as it existed. Just tranquil nothingness. Not even the gods have any rule or say over this particular nothingness as even they would become nothing should they attempt to step a foot into it.

<Scene Change>

On a certain fateful morning of a particularly cloudy day, one can find a young lad walking towards school.

Said lad was a 6'2, American, 17 year old high schooler. He has bright blond hair that covers his forehead. Although he looks like he's on the skinny side, he's actually pretty well toned.

"Man, looks like it's going to rain if I don't hurry.", grumbled the 17 year old.

This lad's name is Joshua, Josh for short.

Josh was having a blast playing his favorite video game the night before so he didn't turn into bed until it was early morning.

Unfortunately for him, he had school in a few hours so he forced himself up, got ready, and groggily walked to school.

On another note, a beautiful young 16 year old girl was also cheerily walking towards the same destination as our assumed protagonist.

"I gotta hurry to school.", happily chirped the girl as she occasionally skipped her legs in excitement. What was she excited about you ask? No clue.

Once on the crossroad, they happened to be standing next to each other.

"Oh.. good morning", After a curt greeting, they both walked towards the other side of the road.

Although they didn't know each other personally, they've at least seen each other at school a couple of times.

<Scene Change>

Earlier in the morning.

Yes, even earlier than Josh and mentioned girl.

The driver of a certain truck was preparing for a long drive to deliver his packages.

"Hmm... why do I feel like it's gonna be a bad day for me? Meh...", and so he carried on with his business.

<Scene Change>

As the two high schoolers were crossing the intersection, the brakes of a certain truck stopped functioning and couldn't stop.

The driver freaked out when his brakes didn't respond, so much so that he even forgot to turn his steering wheel to avoid hitting anyone.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened to our assumed protagonist.

"Ahh..!", seeing that they were going to get hit, the girl froze up and screamed in terror like any normal person should.

"Watch out!", thankfully for her though, our mc was created just to save her and so he did.

He pushed the girl as far away as he could and fell flat on his stomach from overexertion. Fortunately or unfortunately for him, his soul flew out the moment that the truck was about to collide with his body.

Some would argue that it was due to getting hit by the truck but no one really knows the answer.

'So I'm getting sent to another world by the legendary truck-kun!', were Josh's last thoughts.

Yes... our all important mc happens to be a weeb and otaku. Not as bad as the people you might find on the internet but he's still a weeb to an extent.

Josh loves watching anime, reading manga, lightnovels, webnovels, sometimes wuxianovels, and if he's really bored, then he would read some fan fictions as well. Why wouldn't he know about the legendary truck-kun?

<Scene Change>

On the same day, every single entity across the entire universe that has powers were gathered in heaven due to the summoning of the Biblical God.

"Ahemm.. as you all know, today is finally the day!", announced said God.

There were vampires, werewolves, monsters of all kind, demons, angels, pagan gods, and every single creation that has some sort of supernatural powers were all gathered for only one reason.

Today was the day that they would finally get rid of the Void of Nothingness.

The Void of Nothingness was the mentioned space that was immensely powerful.

Over the course of time, the Biblical God had tried everything in his powers in order to get rid of the Void.

With all of his trials and errors, he finally found a possible solution that might be able to get rid of the Void once and for all.

The reason for him wanting to get rid of the Void was very simple. The Biblical God did not like it when there was something with more powers than himself. Something that could challenge his rule.

It wasn't like the Void did anything particularly bad. It just existed in this particular universe and have stayed that way.

The Biblical God was afraid that someone or something would come along and take control of the immense powers that are present in the Void and use it to end the universe.

Fortunately for him and the rest of the universe, not even he was able to control the Void but he did not like the idea of keeping a ticking time bomb around.

As they all stood tall and surrounded the Void of Nothingness, said Void also noticed what was going on as it had a sleeping sentience.

Sensing that the Biblical God had come to eliminate it once again with the rest of the universe in tow, the Void quickly came up with a plan.

"Tch.. those idiots are back again. Well.. no matter. I'm getting tired of that God and his Universe!", a voice silently said to itself as his annihilation was approaching.

The Void extended it's senses all across the universe and dragged the soul of the person that was closest to dying and merged with it. Said soul just happened to be our little Joshy.

After merging with it's new host, the Void scanned through his memories to find somewhere that the universe couldn't reach it. The answer was simple, a different universe.

And so Josh, with the Void riding along, travelled to the world of One Piece!
