We finally got to Orange Town. This is where I will find Luffy.
"Hey newbie, help us down the Buggy cannon, let's put it over the mayor's house."
"It's all right."
The city was empty, the citizens knew we were arriving, so when we arrived everyone seemed to have left it. It was a wise choice, if they stayed in the city they could be killed.
"Hey Hey, did you know? We barely arrived in town and there was someone brave enough to steal Captain Buggy's Grand Line map. The captain sent one of my friends and a few others to retrieve her map."
'Hu? ... So this is how the story begins? I don't remember the first episodes, I think Luffy and Zoro split up, I'm sure this thief is Nami. Well, I know that soon they arrived, I must prepare. '
After installing the cannon, I return to the ship to retrieve the bag that contained my clothes, and then return to the location. And I start to wait, I'm serious, this will be the first big fight I will do.
I didn't have to wait long, while we were at the party I soon see 2 people arriving. One of them I can clearly see was Luffy. My eyes sparkle with excitement for meeting this great character, who is now not just an animation, but real. A smile appeared on my lips.
Behind Luffy was an orange-haired girl. This is Nami ... I must say, she is very beautiful ... Seriously ... I knew that the girls in the world of One Piece would be more beautiful than in my world, but I never expected the difference to be so stark. I don't know how she compares to the ones in this world, but Nami certainly makes it into the top 3 of all the girls I've ever seen in my life, even counting the photos modified in photoshop.
I see Nami push Luffy to the floor.
"I captured the real thief, Captain Buggy the Clown."
I must say it is the same as the anime. I'm glad to see this in reality. My Akuma no Mi working as usual, I wish I had registered Luffy's meeting with Zoro, this was the real beginning of the anime, it gives a little regret not being able to see such an encounter.
The following actions were the same as the anime, Nami hands the stolen map to Buggy and in return asks to join his crew. Luffy is arrested and then we start to party.
I see Luffy using his Akuma no Mi, trying to get some meat, but failing. Well, let's start here.
I get up from my chair silently, take a piece of meat and take it to Luffy, of course I did it as hidden as possible.
"Psiu."
Catching Luffy's attention, I see him rolling his eyes at me. These are the eyes of someone without fear, and who will do anything to achieve their dreams. I couldn't help smiling.
Guhum. I'm delusional here, I hand Luffy the piece of meat and wink with one eye, and quickly walk away before anyone notices me.
"Shishishishi. You are a nice guy."
Said Luffy while eating the meat with big bites, even the bone was not spared. Cold sweat runs down my head watching it up close. In the anime it may have been funny, but in real life it is very strange to see someone do it.
Anyway, I go back to my place and wait for the next occurrence of scenes. I see the Buggy-Dama (Buggy Ball) being prepared and then they shoot straight at the houses ...
'Damn ..... Did this crap really destroy 7 houses at once? ... Such a cannon ball is useful even on the Grand Line.'
I am shocked seeing this scene, I did not remember that Buggy had such power.
'I'm sure that if it hits me, I will die and if I survive I will be half dead .... Fuck it, I already made my decision, this Buggy Ball can be strong, but it is nothing compared to what it has on Grand Line ... '
And then there was the conversation that made me end my hesitation, the one I have had since I arrived in this world. The truth is, I didn't know if I really wanted to be a Pirate. I was just an ordinary person, I didn't have the courage to face a rat in those days, and Apachai's death affected me more than I let on, no matter how much it was because of his foolishness that led him to his death, it ended up being me who instigated him to that ...
But then a conversation changed everything ....
=================================
"What is it?. It's shaking."
"It is because you faced pirates without total determination"
Said Luffy.
"Determination for what?. To kill someone? That is Pirate determination?."
Answers Nami.
"No ... Determination to risk your own life ..."
=================================
As everyone shouted, "Shoot!", "Shoot!", I overheard the conversation between the two, the first part of the conversation, seemed to be directed directly at me. My body was shaking, my mind was momentarily blank ...
'"Determination to risk my own life" ..... Yes ..... That's what I lack, not today, since my previous life, I never risked everything to get something ... Today I have the chance to change that. Is it determination you want? ... So this is what I will give. I already died sorry, not for not seeing the end of One Piece, but for not being useful, for not being determined ..... I won't repeat my mistake again. '
With determined eyes and without fear this time. My Akuma no Mi Recording that moment, recording my determination.
I see Nami trying to save Luffy, using her bat to hit the guy who tried to set the wire on fire.
"KILL HER."
Buggy shouted, four guys armed with swords ran at her. But just before they reached her, the sound of flying blades reached the backs of the four.
"Ghaaa ...
Another knife sound is heard, cutting, More specifically the wire that caught fire to activate the bomb, cutting it and preventing the cannon from activating.
As soon as everyone's mind registered what happened, here I was, beside the cannon that contained the Buggy Ball, holding the same knives that Apachai used.
"Hey Hey ... Four men attacking a helpless girl?. Isn't that a little unfair?."
You must be thinking, how did I get all the knives right, since in the world I would never have been able to do that. Well, this is due to my Akuma no Mi. It is called Record Record no Mi. It allows me to record anything I think, see, hear, feel, smell and even my emotions from those moments, it is as if I were a record company, but much more complex, and everything is kept in my mind, ready to be accessed by any time, at a speed equal to that of the nervous system.
At first I thought it was useless, I thought I could just do it ... But I was wrong. When I was on the buggy pirate ship, remembering the fight against Apachai, I thought about editing the record I made, and I got it ... As a test I cut all the record, except Apachai's movements and then with that I put this record in my mind, and how can I say ... It was "Reproduced", my body was like it wasn't mine, he did all the movements that Apachai did when he faced me. It was very weird, but for the first time I saw the possibility that this skill could be extremely useful, especially for someone like me, who doesn't know how to fight.
From then on, whenever the pirates on the ship fought, I registered with all my attention.
In the tests with Akuma no Mi, I realized the possibilities and limitations of what I did. But that is for another time. This is not a time when I should be delusional, however much my thoughts at a fast speed.
Everyone looks at me shocked ... Nami and Luffy, especially confusion.
"Are you alright ?"
I ask with a smile.
"Eh?"
Confused as she was, she couldn't answer well.
"Ehhhhh ... He's the nice guy who gave me meat."
Shouted Luffy excitedly.
"So you're exposing me."
I yell at Luffy, my eyebrows twitching.
"Anyway, I'm here to help ....." Determination to risk your life ". That's why I'm here."
I give my best smile.
"Noob ?.."
"What is the newbie doing?."
"Of course, he cheated on Captain Buggy."
"Captain Buggy, what do we do with them?."
Buggy pirates scream.
Buggy was quiet for a second and then exploded with rage.
"Haaaaaaa? !!?!?!? You idiot, are you part of my crew ???? .... No, it doesn't matter if you're a part or not, KILL THE TWO."
Buggy screams with red eyes, pointing a finger in our direction.
"Let's go."
"Hahahaha, Death to the traitors."
Running up to us, there were 7 more men.
"Complicated....."
I tighten my jaw, but I grab Apachai's knives and get ready.
Before I can do anything, a green figure appears in front of the seven.
"Hu?. Do you need all this to face a boy and a girl?"
Zoro asks, giving us a slight look, and then looking directly at Luffy.
"Zorooooo. How did you know I was here? Get me out of here."
Luffy says very happy.
"What antics is this Luffy?. First a bird and now caged?. And surrounded by pirates."
Said Zoro.
"Hey is this Zoro, pirate hunter?."
"I heard that he hunted a pirate worth 2 million berry."
"I heard he was looking for a 10 Million."
Luffy smiling, Nami with a shocked face, the fearful Buggy pirates on his face ..... And me ???.
'Fuck, shit ..... It's the real Zoro .....'
