The Craziest story

Ace screamed as he fell down.

Because of the clouds, he couldn't use his devil fruit power. Slowly he got closer to the ground.

-God, wouldn't make me come back just to kill me right?!

The moment he was about to hit the ground, he stopped.

-What? Said Ace as he looked towards the ground.

-I'm alive? I'M ALIVE! HA!

/THUD!/

Ace fell head first into the ground with his mouth open.

-Pfft! I ate some dirt…

-So this is it huh?

/Blurrrrg!/

-Calm down, stomach! I will fill you up soon enough.

He took a few steps before the smell of the sea passed through his face, a very familiar smell, one he was very used to.

After remembering his days with the Whitebeard pirates, Ace took a step forward.

Ace started to look around the island, finding a poor boar to kill.

-SO GOOD! Said Ace as he ate.

-Now… I need to find this man called John and…

/Snoring/

Ace fell asleep.

I looked at Ace from the sky.

Really now. To sleep while you are eating…

As for the reason why I played God and all of that. Why not? It's also a good way to have Ace work with me. It won't matter what he thinks of me later, since I won't be coming back. And he is very strong.

And anyway. If I become good friends with him, this "God" story will only become a joke in the end.

Together with his knowledge, my time in this world will be way easier.

I only need to look for a chance to present "John" .

…

Ace woke up a minute later and continued to eat his roasted meat.

His eyes were slightly moist, but he had a fiery and determined look on his face.

After that he looked around the inland only to fail miserably at finding someone.

-What do I do now… I don't know where I am and there aren't any humans close by.

It was at that time that a boat could be seen on the Horizon.

-HA! Right on time!

His plot armor is certainly there. I thought it would disappear after his supposed death.

He boarded the ship, only to the pirates' horror.

-De-Devil fruit user!

-Who are you sir? Asked the captain of the ship.

-I am…

Oh yeah, I should keep my identity hidden…

-Va… Valet! My name is Valet Silver!

-I-I see, what do you need from us , mister Valet?

-I kind of lost myself so I need you to carry me to the closest inhabited island where I can get a small boat for myself.

-Oh! Of course! That we can do, isn't that right boys!

-Yeah!

The pirates looked really stiff when they said that.

But Ace didn't notice that.

-So let 's go!

…

/A few days later/

Ace was reading a map of the surrounding area.

(Ace knows a bit of navigation since he used to travel around the place alone.)

-So we are in East Blue, how did I get so far?

-Those matter comes later. Teach, I will kill you with my own hands… After I get stronger. I will not waste my second chance.

A pressurising aura was emanating from Ace, making the pirates terrified.

He was now wearing a red cloak with a very large straw hat. He obviously "borrowed" it from them.

-This is it, mister Valet. This is Sea Music island. Said the vice-captain

-Sea music?

-It's due to its corals, every month on a specific day the wind will blow just right, making a very sonorous song across the entire island. Unfortunately it already happened this month…

-You can find the boat pier on the westernmost part of the island. It's a touristic island under a minor noble family in the Conomi islands.

-It's considered a pirate island, you don't see a lot of pirates on these parts. The island is peaceful due to the power of the Noble family pirates, it's said they have a devil fruit user but that's not confirmed. This pirate group took over after the Arlong pirates were defeated by the straw hats some time ago.

-Hummm. I see! Thanks for the ride!

And with this, Ace jumped from the boat.

-My hat… Said a pirate.

-My cloak… Said another one.

With the silent cries of minor characters, Ace made his way into the main plaza of the docking port.

He found that the island was packed with people. There were even some pirates all around.

-I wonder how things can be so peaceful…

It was then that he was attracted to a conversation.

There was a group of pirates talking with a man sitting on a chair. In front of him was a small stand with some papers, he seemed to be recruiting people for a crew.

-... this guy is nuts. Said a skinny pirate

-Yeah, who would go on with terms like these? Let's go. Said a mature pirate with a long beard

-I think we need to show him how things go around this place huh? Said a large fat pirate with a long metal screw passing through his head.

(It's one piece okay, bizarre appearances are normal)

-If you guys don't pass the criteria, why keep bothering me? Just go away and make space for others. Said the man

He was wearing a white casual shirt with brown shorts. On his feet there was a pair of sandals. He had a large hat, it seemed to be made of silk.

-Why you!... The pirate with the screw head lifted his long batton and brought it down with speed.

-This was your last chance. Said the man while grabbing onto the batton

A small spark was released and the fat pirate fell to the floor spamming.

-De-Devil fruit?! Said the bearded pirate.

-Not really, but now you guys bothered me, pass me all of your money and scram. Said the man with the white shirt.

-He-He is alone! We can do it if we all go …

-But some of you are going to die without a doubt. How can you know that it isn't going to be you? Just pay up and go.

The pirates looked shaken, so they picked their wallets and placed them on the table; they left soon afterwards.

-Huh, cowards. Said the man in the white shirt.

Ace was quite curious, so he went ahead and picked one of the flyers.

/Hunting large rare beast!

Looking for a temporary crew.

Small sized, composed of elites.

Must know Haki or some martial technique or be a devil fruit user.

All must pass a test.

Rewards shall be plenty.

Name of the capitan: Beast hunter John./

Would you look at that! Ace found who he was looking for that easily!

Unless there are two beast hunters named John in the area, this is who he is looking for!

-Are you still accepting crew members? Asked Ace

-As you can see, I don't really have anyone with me, so yeah. I am.

-So I would like to apply!

-It might be dangerous. Think you can handle it?

-I am pretty strong myself! He said while showing his muscles.

-Alright then. As for the test…

From the man's hands, a small nail suddenly sped towards Ace at breakneck speeds!

Ace easily tilted his neck to the side.

-OI! What was that?!

-The test.

-What if I didn't evade it?

The nail suddenly came back to the man's hands.

-It's made of rubber. He twisted the nail as he said that.

-Ha! You evaded it easily and did not even show any fear. What is a guy like you doing in East Blue?

Ace placed his hands on his head and said:

-In fact. I am looking for you.

The atmosfere got a little heavier.

-For me you say… Why don't we talk somewhere else?

(Gay alert!)

Ace followed the guy towards a less populated area of the island.

-So. Who the hell are you?

Ace took out his straw hat and said:

-I am… Portugas D. Ace!

-What? The guy who disappeared during the Marineford war?

-Disappeared? What do you…

-It doesn't matter for now. The thing is, why is there a supposedly dead person coming all the way from Paradiso to the East Blue to look for me?

-It's a long story…

…

-So. You met "God", and he told you to come here in exchange for saving your life?

-Yup.

-... HAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S THE BEST MADE UP STORY I'VE HEARD IN A WHILE!

-It's true!

-I know, I know. I already saw a bunch of bizarre things as I traveled. Otherwise there would be no way for someone to know who I am when I just came into this world.

-So you are truly from another world?

-It's not as special as you think, there are many worlds up there. I pointed towards the stars. I received a contract to kill a Cosmic beast that infiltrated this world.

-Normally they would be killed before doing something like that, but this one somehow slipped. To be worse, there is no info on it.

-I still don't know why I accepted this contract…

(For those whose brain is the size of my left nut sack(No offense), the MC is currently playing on a stage, he made Ace believe there was a God, and that he had died. All of this was in order to have him cooperate with him better, he currently believes and trusts the MC to a certain degree. If you want a better explanation, I hope the next chapters will make it clearer for you. Otherwise just send your questions in the comments. In essence, he created an alibi from "God" for himself, in order to remove all possible suspicion from Ace, at least at the start, as they become friends this suspicion is going to become meaningless anyway.)

-So… Have I passed all the tests?

-You did. Allow me to introduce myself properly.

-I am John, just John though, nice to meet you, Ace.
