The Little Boy and The Second Chance
His eyes fluttered, affected by the heat of the blazing sun directly above his head he slowly get his consciousness back as he felt the hot sand under his body.
He opened his eyes quickly to get blinded by the sunlight. he pulled his hand from the sand and rise it to block sunlight as he try to get up from his slumber.
"where am I?" was the first thing the boy said in front of the sea horizon. wondering what he is doing in front of the sea.
'The last thing I remember was getting hitten by a truck trying to save an innocent soul' the boy thought to himself as he shakes off the sand of his cloth.
He looked around him trying to recognize the area ... it was the sea and its beach on one side and a green hill with a village above it on the other side.

Suddenly a strange notification sound was heard along with a blue screen appeared in front of him.

"WHAAAT!" the boy was terrified. to think he traveled in time and space to the world of one piece his favorite story was a terrifying fact. don't get him wrong he loves one piece as a story but to think he could face all the crazy stuff that is happening in this world was above his limit.
'Lucky me at least I have a system to help me' the boy thought to himself with the hope that his system will help him in his journey. yes, the little boy started to dream about this fascinating world and all the beautiful places he could visit and all the amazing people he could meet. until a strange yet familiar feeling acted in his stomach.
The little boy felt his stomach twisting into knots. strange that he never felt hunger like this before yet familiar because due to his bad decision-making ability he ends up using all of his inherent money and living the last three years with the minimum amount of food that is enough to keep him alive.
'Agh it's not the time for dreaming. I need to know where am I and have some food' the boy thought to himself as he starts walking toward the village

'hmm to think of it my body does feel strange. I'm shorter and weaker and my voice seems younger' he has black eyes and hair. He was wearing a shabby oversized white T-shirt that become gray and dark blue shorts that has holes in some parts.
'Tsk it's not the time I need to know where am I. if I am not wrong the beginners' gift pack should have some sort of food in it or I will starve to death either ways' Adham started to rush into the village jumping from time to another after stepping on some sharp stones.
"Easy boy" a stranger lady approaches him wondering who is this strange little boy and why he is running barefoot. their village was a peaceful place with the "Isshin Dojo" and his master Koushirou in the village no pirates can come there.
"Why are you running?" the lady was trying to help and at the same time worried about something like pirates' attack on her village. she want to know the situation at least to alert her father the mayor about it.
"Huff Huff" Adham was breathless after running for five minutes trying to speak the words never came the way he want.
"W-where is this place ?" Adham asked the lady after he took a few seconds to catch his breath.
"Are you lost or something?" the lady asked after she glanced at the sea direction the same direction the boy come from.
'Just answer the damn question' Adham thinks in his head annoyed by the lady's questions.
"I was traveling with my parent until a group of pirates attacked our ship and kill my father and.. and..." "sob sob" trying his best to act like a child that lost everything Adham was about to die from the embarrassment and the shame.
"Oh come here" the lady hugged the little boy after she was certain that nothing bad could happen to the village.
'Agh' Adham was suffocated in the lady's arms.
"Can you tell me where am I?" Adham the little boy asked again while he was trying to get out of the lady's hug
"You are in Shimotsuki Village in East Blue" the lady answered not sure how she could comfort the little boy after he lost his family.
