1 Granted A Lifetime Wish!

I was an old man at the age of 85 years old. At my deathbed I was surrounded by my wife, kids, grandchildren and coworkers.

I closed my eyes as I reflected on my life, I was a spy, spying on my nation and relaying information back to headquarters.

With no parents and originally from a third world country, I spent my young age being resourceful and taking care of myself once I was able to walk. Learning to set traps, cook and gut prey and naturally just catching on to things in this world quickly.

One day I ran into a woman with icy white hair and ocean blue eyes. This was foreign to me as I had curly 4c brown afro textured hair and brown eyes and brown skin, but picture a Hawaiian more so than black. She let it be known, she was the one taking care of me until I could walk and since then I've shown her my potential and I've been accepted into the 'JR I.C.E' program. I had no idea what that meant but since she said she was my mother I couldn't help but felt that there was a connection and anything could be better than this so I accepted not knowing of the hell that awaited me.

Fast forward we were on a plane which was VERY foreign to me I slept the whole time by the time we made it to land we were on a continent called Antarctica or the frozen lost city it was more than what meet the eye it wasn't all snow and ice but headquarters for a nation deemed lost in time. Atlantis, one of the most used cities in folklore and television, was before us and beautiful unlike any other site you'll see around the world. I met other kids my age who didn't speak my language but from around the world.

The program was orientated around stealth, intelligence and infiltration. they trained us from 7am until 7pm with a few breaks in between. The meals they gave us were protein rich and delicious. They taught us all languages of the world and even lost ones until we were fluent.

They taught us how to read and write in symbols and hieroglyphs, how to always keep your cover while spying, they taught us how to fight in this ancient Atlantis fighting style centered around hitting pressure points but unlike gentle fist it's heavy ness and force packed behind hits and also a combination of the south & north praying mantis fighting style.

This was a gruesome experience as the training and knowledge took a lot on us but since we were brought in at such a young age, we were able to absorb knowledge up like sponges and while in the beginning it was tough we were able to adapt.

I trained and learned day in and out, sometimes missing sleep to acquire more information or work on something I didn't perfect yet. It was a work in progress but I shot my way up to number one. One of my greatest strengths was my high work ethic and I never wasted time, those were the things I took to my grave.

Years and years passed until we were upon our final test, we were in groups of ten 15 year olds and were tasked with killing a yeti some of us died and most came out with heavy injuries, while I came out unscathed I did what I had to sacrifice a bunch of children for my benefit to pass the test, scummy move but here I am at my deathbed and I'm not ashamed nor guilty of what I did at all. After all it's survival of the fittest in this cruel world.

After that the passing students got visas and sent off to their selected countries. Mine was America and I was tasked with infiltrating their government. I did well. I had a family, wife, I had a job deep within the government and had access to highly classified information. I fell in love with anime and one of my favorite genres was shonen but one in particular that I loved was one piece. I strongly disliked luffy, he was a lucky idiot who just barely managed to get by in life he wasn't realistic by any means, little did I know I would be eating my words. But the world is what I was infatuated with. The devil fruit spectrum was an interesting one. One of my favorite devil fruit powers were logias like Aokiji's hie hie no mi and the glint glint no mi.

As you know all things end, which was one piece sadly but I lived a long age.

I continued to watch other animes, but one piece was always in my heart.

"One piece" were my last words as my heart slowed down as if it froze, I officially died.

{A/N: I know this is gonna be a topic of discussion. The MC did love his family but they didn't truly know him, he lived a double life, and he only had a family because that would appeal more so to the government, if you don't have a family you have nothing to lose, where as if you do, you can be controlled because you work in your family interest, his family was a fake crutch, if push came to shove he would sacrifice his family for his well being. That's the product of growing up as cold as ice but as charming as John Stamos.}

After I went through all my favorite memories, I woke up in a huge green garden with a huge sunny sky, there were fruits and vegetables of all kinds, the ground was cloudy like in sky island, but what appealed to me the most was the huge podium with a gigantic almost Ferris wheel sized prize wheel.

Walking through this beautiful garden felt like my soul was picking away fruits that fit me, combining them to make my spirit fruit.

As I finally made my way onto the podium my soul conjured the fruit, it was black with intriguing hieroglyphics patterns but cold as hell and had nitrogen coming out. The hieroglyphics read immunity to devil fruit curses and it would allow me to spin the prize wheel.

This felt surreal this after life was almost one piece orientated, when I thought that I realized I had no body and my soul took humanoid form as I could see and do other things like normal.

The pain from touching the fruit was just my habits telling me that fruit is causing harm and to let go but I had no body so therefore it wasn't really hurting, if anything it was soothing and felt like Antarctica cold as hell but amazingly calm and soothing and the darkness made me feel like I was inside a blanket drinking hot cocoa by a fire with my wife again in winter.

I bit into it expecting the taste to be horrifying but it was as amazing as the meals back in Antarctica, man the nostalgia really 'hit differently' right now when you're dead as the young ones would say.

The fruit was gone in seconds and man I felt

rejuvenated as ever, I felt like doing a split then a flip, adrenaline was pumping through my body and I needed a means to let it out.

"Boo" a low tone growled. I turned around to see a snake and was consumed by a fear like I never felt.

It shrank in size but I couldn't forget the fear it brought onto me and the resemblance it had to one of the snakes from skypiea.

The snake crawled upon my shoulder and whispered into my ear about what was going on and how things worked where my soul ended up. Also how I got selected as one of the few souls to reincarnate into an anime of choice, but you'll get the most perks if you go to the one you're more inclined to and guess what… my soul was heavily inclined to one piece shocker right.

The non binary snake told me to spin the wheel five times.. and also since I'm being reincarnated God Authors like chuck from supernatural take a liking to writing about us, so I have what's called protagonist luck wonder what I'm a protagonist of, huh. Anyway it meant that I'm more inclined to have opportunities come my way.

The first thing it gave me was parent genes. Out of all the relevant/strong male and female characters in one piece it would generate a genetic code from these two combined and I so happened to get Katakuri and Carrot and what it does is pass down what their best at in their primes onto me. The second thing I got varied from low to high and it was high talent and IQ.

The third was I was reborn as Aokiji which wasn't good as it locked character customization but I got what I got. I wasn't complaining.

The fourth was Rokushiki with all variants, Haki-how to's along with training manuals engraved into mind. The last one was 'Strong Physical Body' Includes stuff like enhanced senses, pain resistance shock absorption to a small/medium degree and a warrior built body that's made for stuff like war, I'm able to control my body to a certain degree like disable pain receptors,

instantly retain information and reflexes,

if trained to a certain extent his brain could subconsciously analyze and give him hints on the best way to respond to attacks after watching how an opponent moves etc.

Normally you would get three wishes as well but I was a unique case as I had protagonist's luck and had more than enough to set me up for the future, I wanted this to be a challenge after all.

After it was all finalized the snake R.O.B said I would be reborn as Aokiji of course but as a baby. I wasn't complaining, this would be the mark of my adventure. The beginning.
