=LOCATION: Dungeon=

An underground complex labyrinth located under Babel of Orario. The place where adventurers with different races and backgrounds explore the Dungeon. But exploring is a lot difficult as the dungeon is seemingly alive, repairing itself everyday.

In an unknown cave within the Dungeon's 20th floor, there's a gigantic naked man, named Alex, sitting in an indian sitting pose with his gigantic head curled down because he can't raise his head as this cave is too short for him.

He is surrounded by books and strangely pattern fruits, also known as devil fruits.

'This letter will explain that Dungeon Mania trial. Whatever the trial this is, I'm more confident to finish this with my new found abilities. It can't be that bad right?'

Alex enthusiastically thought

and then

He's reading the contents of the second letter.

{=Dear Mortal,

Congratulations! Reading this another letter means that you're done reading the first letter and you're now curious about the Trial will happen to you in the day after a year. THIS LETTER WILL EXPLAIN YOU ABOUT THE TRIAL, AKA THE 'DUNGEON MANIA'.

The Trial challenge is that for 4 years starting the day after 1 year of your reincarnation that, I, THE GREAT R.O.B. will activate one of the seals inside you. The seal that will make all of the monsters aggro and focus on attacking and killing you even if other adventurers are around.

You need to either slay monsters or survive 4 years of that trial, named the 'DUNGEON MANIA'.

I, THE GREAT R.O.B. will give the dungeon the necessary power that will create walls to block adventurers from helping you or distract you from the trial. The power to repair and restore the damages you will make in the future. Most importantly, the power to create 'MONSTER PARTY', which means power that increases the production, numbers & spawn rates of Monsters population at a specific quantity and specific quality every 'ROUNDS' that you will face only within your area. There are a total of 8 rounds with the durations of each rounds are 5 months and 3 weeks long, except the 8th round AKA the final round is 6 months long.

I, THE GREAT R.O.B. will give the dungeon monsters basic Haki; Observation or Armament with the BLACK VERSIONS having Observation, Armament and Conqueror's Haki. The BLACK VERSIONS will only have Conqueror's once you've awakened your own Conqueror's Haki. The strength of the monster's Haki depends on each 'ROUNDS', which means that the more 'ROUNDS' you've survived or the nearer you are towards the end of Dungeon Mania, the more powerful their Haki will become.

Their Haki abilities will only last until the Dungeon Mania. As one of the two main goals of the Dungeon Mania Trial is to kill you. If I, THE GREAT R.O.B., wouldn't give the Monsters Haki then this Trial will be easy for you as you will only use your Logia Devil Fruits then the monsters are slayed as there's no known spell or attacks in the Danmachi Verse that can hurt or touch the Logia Users, which is what I, THE GREAT R.O.B., don't like.

As you may know this quote 'A sound mind is a sound body and a sound body is a sound mind'. I, THE GREAT R.O.B. will make you rest both physically, mentally and spiritually by doing these 2 things. The first thing is I'll refresh your body mind and soul at the end of those rounds so that you are healthy and in top fighting conditions before the start of your fight. Along with that I'll put a 'week off vacation' for you to rest for every end of the rounds except the Final round. During the 'week off vacation' I'll deactivate your seal, the monster aggro seal only, so that you can use those vacations to do whatever.

The Trial will only target you, Alex, and will activate inside the Dungeon only. The monsters will spawn per week on the floor you're in and every time you move to the next floors after defeating monsters in previous floors during the 4 years Dungeon Mania Trial. If you didn't enter the dungeon for the Dungeon Mania there will be overwhelming consequences.

This Dungeon Mania Trial will last for 4 years and will only happen to you, it means that no adventures outside your area will be attacked nor killed and the Storyline will still be the same but only if you didn't create much butterfly effects and only if you slayed the required numbers of monsters.

The Trial's goals are to kill you first and then cause mania to the lower world that will destroy genkai, lower world, and not even the gods and goddesses are safe even in the Tenkai, the upper world, after killing you.

You must survive or slay the monsters and black monsters every week or face the penalty/consequences. These consequences are you dying to the monsters. If you didn't explore the dungeon during the trial then a random dungeon floor will create a 'MONSTER PARTY', which means that a random dungeon floor will increase the monsters' population until spawning 10 thousand or more.

If you didn't slay these required numbers of monsters then the monsters will stack up to the next monster party or monsters' batches. When the monster's population exceeds up to 10 thousands then the monsters will start attacking other Adventurers and will go outside the dungeon and attack the gods, the goddesses and the people in the lower world causing Apocalypse in Danmachi or worse

*FLICK* *sizzle*

The second letter combust and fire appears suddenly as if it knows that Alex read the letter completely and He is very much dumb struck after reading the letter. He threw away the burning letter again with all of his might. Before impact, the fire completely devoured the letter within seconds. The said letter was burned.

Only the Devil fruits, 18 thick books and the smartwatch remains.

"WHAT THE FFFFFFF***********K!!!!!" He screams, feeling the massive burden on his shoulder suddenly and realizing the extremity and cruelty of the R.O.B. and Dungeon Mania Trial happening the day after a year.

He screamed in rage, fury, anger and frustration as loud as he can. The sound is spreading in the cave and onto the entire 20th floor.

The trial reminded him of a phrase called Monster Party that was coined term by adventurers from the dead young adventurer's memories.

"MONSTER PARTY EVERY WEEK?!!! AND I HAVE TO MAKE YOU A SHRINE?! AFTER SENDING ME TO MY DEATH?! YOU'RE NO GOOD THAN THE M*****F*****G MILITARY!!!" The scream and insult was just the beginning. Alex began raining complaints, insults and curses to the cruelty of the R.O.B. and this trial.

He's not holding back, He says every curse he could think of.

Alex's frustrations don't come out of nowhere, it came from reading the contents of the 2nd letter, especially the part of introducing and explaining his Trial. Also, his frustrations come from remembering the bad memories during his military service.

"I thought I was prepared to face the penalty but this was too much! It's just like military service and deployments all over again. F***K! that R.O.B. trickster looking MF!!!" Alex screamed final insults at the R.O.B. before starting to breathe and relax as he realizes that R.O.B. won't hear him until the seal sends the reports each year.

after exhausting himself, he did something different,

*Inhale*

He closed his eyes and inhaled gastronomical amounts of air that entered his gigantic lungs.

.

.

.

*Exhale*

He exhaled the said gastronomical amounts of air that escaped from his mouth and nose

Not satisfied,

*Inhale*

He inhaled a lots of air

.

.

.

*Exhaled*

He released all of that air again

He kept doing this for a full minute.

After a minute passed by,

He then opened his eyes.

Alex did the breathing method that was taught to him by his parents to calm him down.

With this method, he successfully got rid of all anger, calmed him down and made his mind return back to the present.

'I'm a bit in the fault too for thinking I'm prepared for the supernatural. The Dungeon Mania Trial is probably the result for my last wish but still l have never regretted that last wish. If I remember correctly, I'm somehow currently r.o.b.'s puppet for entertainment or at least one of its' entertainments as that being is probably being entertained by other 'mortals' too. But this is just temporary as the deal will be erased and I will gain freedom once I survive the trial-

.

.

.

.

.

NO!

.

.

.

.

.

Once I will complete the Trial.

.

.

.

Besides, continuously cursing the r.o.b is useless right now. I need use the time on finding solutions to shrinking my body to fit in with the people of Orario and not be treated as a monster. I'm not gonna waste my second life since I have these great gifts, especially the One Piece Full Manga. I'm f*****g glad I have the One Piece Manga because I died before One Piece was finished. I'll read it from the start if I have free time.' Alex now found a new resolve.

Next, he looks to his sides.

'Which Devil fruit that could help me right now?' He asked himself after focusing on the matter of looking the devil fruits but it made him confuse.

'F**k! most Devil fruits' appearances are unknown because they didn't show it in the manga and anime, like the Jiki Jiki no Mi. I need to open the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and instantly memorize their appearances.' He chose and

He picked up a book titled 'One Piece's Devil Fruits Encyclopedia for Losers'.

Before he could open the book,

*Pop!*

=========

NOTICE: This book have instant memorization feature that make the entire content of this book be instantly memorized upon the reader's confirmation to this feature.

If the reader deos not agree, The instant memorization feature will disappear permanently and make the reader need to manually read the entire book to learn its contents.

This process is safe and will take only a second. This feature is available on 18 magical books. Every magical books are still available and readable regardless of choice.

Does the reader want the feature? Or Not?

Yes/No

=========

A big pop-up notificatiom magically appeared in front of the book and Alex.

He then read and thought that this will happen everytime he read the book.

Regardless, He agreed on the feature.

*Pop!*

The notification disappeared upon Alex's Answer.

The

*schliff*

As he opens the book, the pages shine brightly, especially the words written in those pages.

Less than a second, Those brightened letters all flew towards his eyes and directly into his brain. All of the information, histories, contents, pictures, capabilities of the fruit and users written in the book went into his brain suddenly and made his face scrunched up because of too much overflowing information.

By reading the book, He now knows all about the Devil Fruits, from their origin, their abilities, their movesets, their awakened abilities, their appearances and how to make them.

After a minute, the book became normal again with words written along with his face return to normal and chuckled.

'I'm f*****g glad I wished for this! I memorized it all! This book clearly explains the devil fruits, their appearances, the users and even the movesets just now. Unexpectedly, I didn't know that Vegapunk looks similar to Einstein and he ate this particular devil fruit. I didn't know these things because I died after reading Wano Arc. This Devil fruit is useful but there is a con but the pros outweighs the con, I need to eat it.' Alex picks up the Devil Fruit of Vegapunk, the Nomi Nomi no Mi or Brain-Brain Fruit, and then he ate it.

*crunch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *gulp*

'Taste like an apple. This is amazing! my intelligence is increasing...no...It's more like my brain is expanding but just like what I read. Another massive problem appears. Here it comes.' He anticipated.

'The Nomi Nomi no Mi is a great addition since I can memorize and store an indefinite amount of information inside my brain, allowing me to remember everything, which means using this fruit I can remember One piece, these books' contents, the Danmachi anime and the plot without missing every details. But the down side of this fruit is I will have a gigantic head too along with my giant body. This fruit will continue to expand my forehead every time I read, watch, memorize and learn something new and those things are needed a lot in the future. I need to fix this quickly! There must be something in these books.' He thought off

and

began picking up the other 9 books that are currently useful and those that he's always curious about since watching and reading One Piece.

He chose the instant memorization feature to those books.

*schliff* *schliff* *schliff* *schliff* *schliff* *schliff* *schliff* *schliff*

'Healthcare, Surgeries & Medicine for Losers'

'Identify & solving Poisons, Diseases, Viruses, Contagions for Losers'

'Navigation, Cartography, Tracking & Weather Forecast for Losers'

'One Piece is real & it's mysteries explained for Losers'

'One Piece's Agriculture & Botanies for Losers'

'One Piece's Biologies for Losers'

'One Piece's Martial Arts & Swordsmanship for Losers'

'One Piece's Scientific knowledge, innovations, drafts,

creations, works & theories for Losers.'

'One Piece's Void Century explained for Losers.'

He opened the chosen books one by one and their contents went to his head but his face didn't scrunch because it's a much smoother process now after eating the Brain-Brain Fruit. Alex's head continues throbbing and grows faster, along with his third eye, eyebrows and horns continuously grow distance from the 2 eyes.

He felt it but he continued reading.

Minutes passed by, all of the books became normal again with words written and he opened his eyes.

He placed down the books.

"YEAH! HEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

He started laughing louder than ever and thought to himself, which made his early bitter attitude disappeared.

'THANK YOU JOYBOY! THANK YOU ROGER! THANK YOU ODA!.... SO THAT'S ALL THE ONE PIECE?! AND ALL OF IT'S MYSTERIES?!!'

'THEY'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL AND HILARIOUS AT THE SAME TIME! It's all worth the wait!! It really is the One Piece, the thing that made the Word Government hides it. The One Piece that Roger Pirates found and made Roger starts the Great Pirate Era. It's worth it. I'm glad to have these books. Most Importantly, I'm glad I watched and loved One Piece.' He's celebrating as he now learned what the One Piece is and it's mysteries.

"YEAH! HEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

He laughs again before cursing R.O.B. again.

'F*ck that r.o.b. mf! that being didn't even reincarnate me to One Piece. I want to laugh and beat up those worthless Inbreds World Nobles. I want to spread the truth about the World Government. I wanna go to One Piece World more than ever. Also, It's a pity that I died before the end of One Piece.' He's currently regretting not being reincarnated to the One Piece World while being angry at the r.o.b too.

'What the f*** is my laugh become?! It's cool though.'

Alex heard his new laugh and was confused because this is the second time he laughed like that. He immediately concluded that it's from having this new body.

still

Alex is currently feeling a mixture of emotions.

But

.

.

.

He's more happier than before and felt a great sense of accomplishment, now that he finally knows all of the mysteries in One Piece, the things that were kept hidden for 20 years and above;

The meaning of 'D.' clan, the Will of D. and it's mysteries,

All about Void Century,

All about Joyboy and Zunesha

All about the Ancient Kingdom,

All about the Ancient Weapons,

All about the multiple moons, the automata and moon pirates,

All about the making Seraphim and Pacifista

All about Egghead Island,

All about the Florian Triangle,

All about their Inventions,

All about the Creatures,

All about the All Blue,

All about Lunarians,

The crimes and worthlessness of World Nobles,

The reason for the World Government building a bridge named Tequila Wolf for over 700 years,

The mysterious treasure in Mariejois that the knowledge of it will shake the world,

The Laughtale,

.

.

Most Importantly

.

.

WHAT REALLY IS THE ONE PIECE.

.

.

those things that made all One Piece's Fans want to know for the longest time along with ODA intentionally not revealing since 1997.

.

.

.

adding to that is

He has the Complete Manga for One Piece, the greatest treasure for One Piece's Fans, including prologue and epilogue too that he can read over and over again.

.

.

.

=TIMESKIP: 5 MINUTES=

A minute passed by, Alex finally stopped celebrating and laughing then he snapped back to reality.

"That made my day!" He's happier more than ever and is in great mood.

He then look up only to his more gigantic forehead than the cave's ceiling nor the hole he made.

'I have an idea to solve all of this!' Thanks to the Brain-Brain Fruit powers, He suddenly thinks of a plan while seeing his eyebrows far away from his eyes, the third eye is far away from his 2 eyes and the large horns far away from his ears.'

'The third eye, Eyebrows and white horns are very far away this time, these made it slightly difficult. My head is long & heavy, it's almost half of my height (65'7 ft, 20 m or 2000 cm), making my head around 32'10 ft (10 m or 1000 cm).'

'That makes my whole height currently standing at 98'5 ft (30 m or 3000 cm). I'm barely fitting in this cave, I have to leave this cave soon.'

'Despite my height,'

'I look goofy as hell! but let's just continue eating.' Alex thought so and picked many devil fruits he easily recognised from the pictures. He placed in front all of the fruits needed and began eating them one by one.

*crunch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *gulp* *crunch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *gulp* *crunch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *gulp* *crunch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *gulp* *crunch*

*crunch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *gulp*

*crunch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *gulp*

*crunch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *gulp*

*crunch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *gulp*

*BURPPPP!*

'They taste like fruits and vegetables. But I think I may need more to eat more to fulfill this stomach because this body consists of One Piece's DNA.' He thought and does the plan.
