1 Reborn...
Chapter 1
Title: Reborn...
….
I put my medical books in my bag as another medical class is over. I look in the eyes of the disinterested professor and disinterested people all around this place as we all get up from our seats and start going outside.
Wonder what anime I should watch today?
….
Twenty minutes later, while waiting for the traffic light to turn green, and that is when I feel a vibration on my phone.
I take out my phone and see that I just got a new email.
I wonder what this email is about. But suddenly at the corner of my eye I see a car come towards the traffic light at top speeds. I see the car flip and before I can react…
Baam!
The car crashes into me, I can feel my ribcage cave in and puncture my lungs. I feel them filled with warm liquid… which I assume is blood.
I bounced off the ground like a ragdoll, my head bashed against the asphalt countless times before I came to a stop. Blood pools all around me...
How come I can think so fast? I have never in my life thought so fast! Oh… I get it… it's just my brain working at extreme speeds due to me being so close to death. Also I seem to be unable to feel any pain below my neck. Is it adrenaline? Nah, I am most likely internally decapitated.
I am calm at this, crying about spilled milk is useless. I now just need to think of a way to survive. I am in my first year of medical school. I put too much effort into this life, it's unfair for me to die… can't some other useless person die.
Anyway, what should I do to survive? More specifically, what can I even do?
As I contemplate things like that I can see darkness appear at the corner of my eye, slowly engulfing my vision.
Holy sh*t!!! I am about to actually die!?!?! This can't be happening, please, god, if you even exist… please give me a second chance! I don't care what or how, I want a second chance. I am so unhappy with this life of mine.
Before I could even think anymore, my world turned dark. Pretty much meaning that it's game over for me now. Damn it… I didn't even have enough money to get myself cryogenically frozen. I really don't want to die…
….
….
….
The next thing that I see is a woman's voice calling out. "M -My son… Ace… your name shall be Gol D Ace…"
As soon as I heard that, I forced my eyes to open up wide and I saw a blonde woman hugging me close to her chest and hugging me softly.
"UAAAAAAA…" I immediately started crying, I can understand the situation that I am in.
"If it's a girl… Anne… if it's a boy… Ace…" Says the woman in a very soft voice. "He picked them, so his name is Gol D Ace… our son… our little boy. Oh Ace…"
Suddenly I can feel the arms around get weaker and some other people in the room yell out. "Rouge! Rouge stay with us!!!"
Though I don't know who the woman holding me is. It's safe to assume that she is my new mother, I am eternally grateful to her for giving me this second chance.
That was my last thought as my eyes felt heavy and I wanted to sleep already. I am just so… tired.
….
The next time I open my eyes I see that I am being carried by a man with a short geate & mustache beard. He also has gray hair to his sides.
He looks at me and has a sad smile on his face. "You know… sometimes life isn't fair on some people. A son shouldn't have to carry the sins of his father, sadly the world doesn't see it like that though."
As I see the old man saying things like that. It proved my suspicion correct, I was somehow reborn in the One Piece world.
Well… no need to panic over spilled milk. But I must learn from my mistakes. The way I died was pathetic, my body too weak to do anything. Well no more!!!
Since I am in this world, I will not waste my second chance. Whether it was some being or just chance that I was reborn here, it doesn't matter. I will live my life however the hell I want and I will enjoy my world… and crush everyone else under my foot.
While having thoughts like that I feel sleepiness settle over me again. Well… this is a shame. But it doesn't matter, if I am reborn as Ace, then I still have enough time to train.
….
The next time I open my eyes I see that I am under the care of some bald man wearing giant glasses and a white doctor's coat. He is probably some medical professional (hopefully not a scientist) since he seems to be taking care of me and checking for my health.
"Wonder where Garp got this kid from." Mumbles the old medic. "Hopefully he didn't kidnap the kid or something… no Garp isn't the type of person to do that…"
I can see it by the look on his face that the medic seems to be trying to convince himself that I am not some kidnapped baby. What the hell kind of reputation does Garp have with his crew!? They must have been used to his shenanigans by now right?!
….
….
After some days pass, I don't know exactly how much time. But I now know that I am on a ship at least… plus Garp sometimes comes and talks with me about the cracker eating records and the dates of them. He even shows me the newspapers.
He is currently doing so. "This is the day I broke the cracker eating world record for the first time. Back then I was young, but I got a small part talking about me on the 42nd Newspaper Page. Must have been a slow day then…"
He shows me a photo of a young sleeping Garp in the Newspaper. He is actually sleeping too, why is he even showing me this sh*t?
If I didn't know any better I would think that he is just some cracker eating maniac and that is all that he has accomplished in his life. But the guy never even talks about any of his legendary battles against pirates or anything like that. Also I am a baby… I still don't know why he keeps showing me this. Not like I would understand or remember any of this.
I can actually roll around now too… so that is cool I guess. I have some mobility at least. I have been doing the best I can with it. I want to train my body muscles to be able to stand. Most babies begin crawling at around eight months… I plan to crawl at my first or at worst second month.
Sadly I still don't know how much time has passed since I have been reborn in this world. I just sleep a lot so I have no sense of time at all.
"Ah! Ace, why are you turning your back to me. You must listen to my world breaking records, no one else will." Complains Garp as he explains why he seems to be telling me this sh*t.
Well no wonder no one wants to hear you say that old man. You have been talking way too much about them and bragging to a baby!
I don't care about them either…
So I just turn my back and act like I am going asleep. I really have more useful things to think about than Garp's 345 Cracker Records… damn… I now have it stuck in my brain. I am supposed to use my young brain to learn some useful knowledge, not remember some useless cracker eating records.
….
….
After some time the ship lands in a village and when I look around it I determine that it is Foosha Village. Garp takes me in his arms and shows me towards a mountain.
After a while of Garp walking we arrive at a wooden house in the mountain forests.
*Knock* *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*...
Garp starts knocking but after the first knock it pretty much turns into a bang on the door.
The door opens up and a big angry woman with orange hair comes out. "WHAT THE HELL-..." She immediately stops one she sees who it is and her voice gets soft as she says. "O -Oh it's you Garp…"
Garp just looks at her and points at me. "Take care of the kid."
"WAIT, WHAT!!?!?"
