3 Hello World! (Part 1)
In previous chapters...
Our protagonist died and was given the opportunity to be reborn with shitty abilities and now he was in the One Piece world…
Well… not yet… tecnically...

'Dear mental diary, today is the day...
Ok, I have no fucking idea what day it is... in what appears to be my mother's placenta...
Damn, it's impossible to tell if it's day or night!
I don't even know how many days I've been here!
Technically a fetus begins to show brain activity at twenty-two weeks, but I don't know if this applies in that universe or if reincarnated people are a special case.
Also, I sleep so much that it is impossible for me to finish my thoughts
And... I'm so bored and lonely that I'm creating a stupid mental diary...
If there were a football here I'd probably draw a face on it and call it Willson!
Oh no... I... I'm going back to sleep again...' Thought the fetus Mc, that just like in his previous life tried to kill some time and camouflage the loneliness he felt with his internal monologues.
In the placenta of his unknown mother his actions were extremely limited.
The only thing Mc could do each day...or at least in the short intervals when he was awake...was check his growth, write his mental diary, speculate about the future and play with his umbilical cord until he went back to sleep
If he had internet he would resort to healthier alternatives but now it was impossible… and it was driving him crazy

Weeks later...
'Dear mind diary… or viewers of the fucking Isekai movie that Broly is filming and of which you are possibly listening my thoughts if that bastard wants to take advantage of these boring and absurd scenes for his production…
I think that every time I wake up I can control my sleep better since it seems that my body is forming
As I have verified, I have a penis, which is good news, it would be strange to be born a woman after having lived as a man in the previous life...
And after this fascinating discovery... I'm going to continue sleeping..." The Mc thought, checking again that what he had in his hand was his penis and not the umbilical cord

Weeks later...
'Dear mental diary... I don't know much about biology, let alone the strange biology of the One Piece world, but by touching my body... in a good way... I have been able to determine that I am not a Mink as I lack of fur and other extra furry features
I don't have a third eye like the fucking Broly, so I'm not a cousin of the schizophrenic girl
I also don't have gills, weird teeth, or other fish-man feactures, plus I have legs, so I'm not a mermaid.
I only have one elbow, so I'm not a cousin of the hated Apoo
I also don't have wings on my back so I'm not from a sky island or a Lunarian...luckily or unfortunately...
For now it seems that I will be either a normal human, a giant or some other strange thing similar to a normal human...
At least I hope I'm not one of those deformed characters that Eichiro Oda likes so much...' The Mc thought as he touched his entire body in search of data that could give him clues about his race and appearance... but above all if he would have the physiology of a cartoon or would be a normal flesh and blood person
Animation or Live Action?
The great doubt that assails all reincarnated before being born in a world of manga / anime...
Maybe…

Weeks later...
'Dear mental diary, despite the fact that my body has developed remarkably and I can already distinguish all the parts of my body and even move clumsily, I still have no fucking idea what to do
I'm very, very bored... I miss my computer...
If I had reincarnated in a cultivation world, surely now I could be cultivating internal energy in the placenta and be born as a super baby...
But it seems that this doesn't apply to the world of One Piece, all I can do now is sleep and think nonsenses
I'd love to train my Haki, but...
How the fuck do I do it? I don't even know where to start!
Oh yeah, I've minimally seen how Rayleght trained Luffy, but...
So what?
I've also seen videos of people building buildings, undergoing open-heart surgery and performing martial arts... and does that automatically make me an architect, surgeon or martial artist?
Of course not! Well the same with being a Haki user!
Damn... it seems so easy to learn Haki and Rokushiki in all the fucking fanfics... but not here, of course, this is the fucking real life… although in One Piece...
This is depressing..." The Mc thought, frustrated at being unable to use his time in a productive way, even if it was being lazy with a video game… but in a productive way

Weeks later...
'Dear mental diary... it's getting easier for me to listen to sounds from outside...
I'm not 100% sure, but from what I've been able to hear thanks to my new ears and the universal translator for the last… my family seems to be more or less normal and in a more or less normal situation
The hardmode is only for video games...
I understand that this shitty god wouldn't have made me reincarnate in a place with a probability of dying at a young age... otherwise the movie would be shit... but you never know...' The Mc thought, who prayed to any god except Broly to have a pleasant childhood... something complicated in this world with a long history of main and secondary characters with traumatic pasts

Weeks later...
'Dear diary... I have thought after many debates with myself... since there is no one else here...
I think I could practice that Contract Magic now, but...
But no, better not...
It is better not to risk doing things that I didn't know before I'm born...' Thought the Mc who reviewed his knowledge about Contractual Magic, where it was explained how to use it and its conditions
Use and conditions that he would leave for later when he is born, he couldn't risk dying during childbirth due to some negligence related to magic
The movie Spider-Man: No Way Homed clearly demonstrated that magic should to be practiced in a controlled and safe environment.

'If that fake god is going to make a movie of my life...
Does that mean that God is really watching me all the time? And what's worse, more people will also be able to see me in embarrassing situations... and during pregnancy...!
Damn... I can no longer go to the bathroom, masturbate or be alone with a girl without feeling like there are millions of people looking and judging me
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY PRIVACY!?] Thought the Mc, who was trying to erase or at least park that fact in a storage room in his mind along with other things he didn't want to remember so as not to suffer unnecessarily, like the fact that Berserk and Hunter X Hunter would never have an end ... although he couldn't check it now either
---
Weeks later...
'Being in a thick liquid for so long makes me wonder...
Is a wet dried fruit still a dried fruit?
Mysteries that we will never be able to solve...' The Mc thought, who got exponentially bored every day that passed in total solitude without his PC, PS5 or Nintendo Switch
---
Weeks later...
'Dear diary... today I have nothing to say... as always...
Everything remains the same... wanting to be born and see in first person the best built world in the history of manga and anime...
I'm going to sleep... again...' The Mc thought, that he had nothing to report to himself
After so many days, weeks or months, perhaps he had already run out of ideas to explore
---
Little bit later...
Just like every day... or maybe night... the Mc woke up several times, an exactly identical wake up to the previous one, in which he found himself alone in his small, warm, wet and dark single room...
But now something had changed, he had more space than usual to stretch his legs, he wasn't floating in a hot thick liquid, the umbilical cord that until now had been his only method of entertainment had disappeared and above all... his eyes, despite being closed were able to see some light
'No way…' Thought he Mc, and while with great effort he opened his little baby eyelids to see something different from the darkness
With great difficulty his new-born eyes could finally see the light after many months and the first thing he saw after the uncomfortable flash that blinded his brand new eyes was...
"Norman, Norman, wake up, little Frederic has woken up"
"Zzzz…re…really Susan?
Ohhhh... look at him...
What a relief, you had me worried little sleepyhead
You fell asleep during childbirth, so it was difficult to bring you into the world
Fortunately, everything turned out well"
The first thing he saw was the smiling, warm, affectionate faces of a huge woman and man who looked to be between 24 and 28 years old, although his eyes were still very blurry and he wasn't able to see them very well
This was a situation that could surprise and even scare anyone, but not for someone who had mentally prepared himself for months to see something similar, so with the little information he had managed to collect from this conversation the Mc made the first deduction of his new life 'Ok… perfect…
I almost died during childbirth and I have missed my own birth due to my deep sleep that has followed me into this life…
Apart from this... I suspect that these two people are my parents Norman and Susan and that my name is Frederick...
Well... it's not the name I would have chosen, I would have liked something cooler like Dante, Nero, Vergil, Illidan, Arthas, Neltharion, Kamina, Optimus Prime, Max Power..
But I guess I'll have to get used to calling myself this way.. I hope at least my last name is cool...'
"Susan, now that little Fred has woken up and seems fine…is it okay for me to bring Marlon and Roxanne in?
They have been asking all morning how are you and the little one" Norman said to his wife, who was still in bed with little Frederic
"Of course, go tell them.
We have to take advantage now that Fred is awake to greet them
Right Fred?" Said Susan, who asked her newborn son a question despite knowing that he would be unable to answer her... a somewhat strange behavior but very common among mothers and pet owners
And while his father went to look for what seemed to be his friends, little Frederic looked around to better understand his situation now that his eyes had gotten a little used to the light 'All right, Fred, let's do an analysis of the situation...
First of all the people in this world of One Piece are flesh and blood like the humans of my previous reality instead of cartoons... I'm basically in a live action version of One Piece, not bad
Aside from that...
It seems that I was born in a moderately large wooden house, well furnished, quite clean and with appliances similar to those that the Muguiwaras had, which is a good omen. My parents seem to be people settled in one place, with a stable income and even with good taste for decoration
I was born in my own house instead of the hospital and Norman, the one who seems to be my father was wearing a hospital gown and said that he brought me into the world, therefore he must be a doctor or at least knows medicine, a good job...
It's a shame they're not millionaires, but being born into a middle-class family is a good start, especially if they're in a safe environment like it seems to be, at least for now...'
"Fred, soon you will meet your uncle Marlon and aunt Roxane, mom and dad's best friends... and also the one who will surely be your best friend in some weeks" Susan said, who was still talking to her son... despite being aware that he couldn't understand her at all
But although ironically on this occasion little Fred could understand her, he didn't pay much attention to her words, since he had been amazed with other details 'My mother who is now holding me in her arms is…
OH MY GOD!
A real redheaded beauty with green eyes, huge breasts and an angelic voice...
Oh my gosh, I think she's the prettiest woman I've ever seen in my life…
Damn Norman, how many millions of Karma points did you exchange in your past life
How many millions of Karma points did you exchange in your past life to get such an angel to marry a man as normal and flat as you?
I don't want to say that my new father is unattractive, his height seems normal, he has a normal physical complexion, a normal face, a normal brown hair colour and... he is extremely normal to be with a goddess like this one...
So if possible I hope to inherit the genetics of the mother...
But apart from the physical, that from what I see I won't be ugly at least... the best of all, is that both seem to be good people who are going to pamper me a lot' Fred thought, satisfied with what he knew of his life so far.
There were no flags of death or adversity near his face for now!
And while little Fred was still deep in thought, two other people unknown to him entered the room.
"So this is Frederic Freed, the future big man of the house!
STEEL! STEEL! STEEL!
You had us worried little one!"
