When can humans be said to be dead?
When have you lost your life?
When his body can no longer move?
By the time his body's breathing had stopped?
By the time his heart had stopped?
Yes All of these answers can be said to be correct answers. However, I myself have another opinion about when the human being can be said to have died.
The human dies when that person has been forgotten by other humans or in other words the human has been forgotten in the world where he had lived.
What do you think?
Do you also agree with this answer?
This answer is based on the many novels, light novels, and mangas I've read in my life. I see many characters who have died, but the character is still alive through the achievements that he has achieved and that makes him continue to be remembered by people who have lived in the same world as the character.
While reading, a question always pops into my mind.
Is it possible that I can do as they do?
At the time I have left this world but I can still be said to be living through the achievements and achievements that I have obtained before.
However…..
Fate says otherwise…..
Due to the disease I was born with, I can't carry out activities like humans normally do. Since birth, I have been in the hospital for intensive care. The disease that I have at this time there is no medicine that can help to cure it. Luckily because of this disease, all hospital costs were borne by the government with an agreement that I could be used as an experimental material in order to find a way out or find a drug to cure this disease if in the future someone got it.
My family immediately agreed to this deal. After all, my own family doesn't seem to be from a wealthy family. Even if I don't know about the issue of hospital fees that must be paid, I'm sure there is not a lot of money to be spent. I got this knowledge through light novels, novels, and manga that I often read to kill my boredom every day in the treatment room.
Through this work, I know that the world is very wide. There are many mountains, rivers, land, animals, and also plants. Even if I know that this is just fiction written through the imagination of the author, it is still certain that the majority of the components in the work are in the world I live in.
The work I like the most is One Piece. One Piece tells of an adventure undertaken by the main character Monkey D. Luffy and his friends to achieve their dreams which many people say is impossible or nonsense. However, every one of them has faith in their dream that they will definitely be able to achieve it. The thing that makes me love this work is because of the friendships and adventures in this work.
Since I've never had a friendship, I've always missed that. And through this work, I can learn it.

"Doctor! Doctor! Come quickly to the special treatment room. Ares is in a very strange state!"
The corridor of the 12th floor hospital where Ares was treated who was suffering from a new illness, a nurse who had a shift to guard at that time found Ares lying unconscious after just finishing reading One Piece manga chapter 1048 in his bed. With very high concern because Ares is an important patient in this hospital, the nurse immediately came out of the room and took the phone beside Ares' door and called the doctor because of the abnormality.
"What did you say?!" There was a very loud roar from the voice behind the phone.
"Hurry Doctor! Ares' current state is very strange."
"Tell! Explain his current condition?!" The voice from behind the phone asked again.
"Ares is currently unconscious. Besides that, his body often convulses and his body heat rises rapidly and by the time I came out earlier his body heat had reached 41 degrees Celsius. If it's not dealt with quickly, there's a chance Ares…"
"Say no more! I already know it. You hurry back and first you stabilize the heat that Ares is suffering from. We'll be right there now."
"I understand, Doctor." The nurse immediately hung up the phone and returned to Ares' room and started doing her job according to the doctor's orders.
While with Ares himself, Ares is currently in a place that he does not know. This place is very wide or you can say this place is like space Ares used to see in the manga he reads in the science fiction genre.
"What happened?…" Ares asked himself in confusion as he looked around him.
"Isn't this outer space? How do I get here? Wasn't before I was still in my room reading One Piece manga?..." Ares asked himself again in confusion as he continued to observe his surroundings.
"….. Amazing….. Is this the outer space that is usually depicted in manga? This place is so vast….. In the manga it's described that outer space is billions of times even trillions of times bigger than the earth… And that seems to be the case…. This is so amazing…" Ares gazed around him in awe and began to forget what had happened to him at this time.
"Are you amazed by this outer space, my Servant?" Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere asking Ares.
"Um…. This is extraordinary. Seeing the enormous space like this. I feel very small compared to the creatures created by my Lord." The moment Ares finished saying his sentence, Ares suddenly woke up and looked around again and found no one but himself. Ares's body immediately shook violently with fear.
"W-who are you?....." Ares asked in a nervous and scared tone.
"Don't be afraid, my servant. I will not harm you. After all, as an owner, there's no way the owner would harm something that's his own, right?"
"Owner?….. W-are y-you God?" Ares used his brain to digest the words said by the voice and guessed what Ares thought might be the answer. Especially with the current phenomena, Ares only thinks that there is only one person who can do something like this, namely God.
"Hahaha….. You are my servant who is very smart even at a young age. Yes I am God. I am the owner of the entire universe and all that is in it."
"I-I see. K-if I may know. W-what was your reason for bringing me to this place? I-I'm sorry. I know as a servant. I don't have the right to ask questions like this." Ares again said with a tone of fear and worry. But, out of curiosity, Ares ventured to ask.
"Don't be afraid, my Servant. The reason I brought you here is because I wanted to talk as well as grant some of your wishes."
"Accept my wish? Is it true?" Ares asked excitedly.
"So true. You can ask whatever you want. I will grant it but still within normal limits. If the request is not within normal limits, sorry, I will not grant it."
"This…. In that case…. S-if I ask to go live to the world of One Piece, is that one of the normal requests?"
"Ha ha ha ha…. It's still within normal request limits, my Servant. Even if that One Piece is a fictional world created by my servants through their imagination. I can make that world a real world like the world you live in now."
"Y-then, can I have this request?" Ares asked excitedly.
"You can do it. Are there any other requests? You're free to ask for it while you're still talking to me right now."
"Another request?...In that case, I want to have a healthy body and the disease I'm currently experiencing is gone, I want to gain unlimited stamina, I want to have three kinds of haki along with the knowledge method to cultivate it to the highest level. , I want to get language skills like the One Piece world and the ability to read, and I want to have a devil fruit ability based on the devil fruit ability related to esper abilities like Tatsumaki's. While my last wish is that I hope to make an island in the East Blue. The island has animals that can help me in training and the island has a mechanism like a closed fog so that no one except with my permission can go there"
"Wow… You have a lot of requests, don't you?"
"I-I'm sorry… I-then—-"
"No. You don't need to reduce it. The request you requested is still within normal limits. Besides, it's different from the world you live in. The world of One Piece itself is a world that uses the law of the jungle. Therefore you need strength to survive in that world. Before I will grant your wish. Tell me, you want to move into that world at what time of year you were and at what age?"
"I want to move with my current body back at the age of 5 temporarily for my transfer to the world of One Piece in 1508."
"Okay. I will grant your request. I will also provide extras such as clothing and also capsule housings whose energy materials use the energy of fusion nurturing. This addition that I will give will be placed in the storage room in the form of a bracelet. The bracelet will instantly appear in your hand the moment you arrive in that world. For its use, I will arrange it like in a novel that you often read. You can definitely use it easily. Are there any other additions? Before I will transfer you to the world of One Piece along with what you wish?"
"...Could my devil fruit ability not have a curse to the sea as well as the sea stone? That's all, I'm not interested in removing the curse to eat other devil fruits."
"Okay. That's an easy request. I will do it. Is there anything else?"
"…..Well, this is the last one. I want to be able to get a newspaper every day so I can know the conditions of the outside world when I am training on the island before departure"
"Good request. Even if you know about the existing future conditions, you also need to know about other side things. Alright, I'll accept it. Later, every time a new newspaper is distributed, it will appear in your house, more precisely in the living room of your capsule house."
"Thank you. That's all I ask for."
"Okay. In that case. You prepare yourself. I will immediately transfer you to the world of One Piece, more precisely on the island you want in a safe area so that you are not directly attacked by the wild animals that are there."
Ares immediately prepared himself. Slowly Ares felt a very heavy feeling of sleepiness and over time Ares could not hold it in anymore until he fell asleep. Ares' current condition was also felt by his body in the real world. Ares's body, which is currently receiving intensive treatment from the doctors, immediately stopped shaking suddenly while his breathing and heart suddenly stopped, indicating Ares is now dead.
"Huuu…. Too bad. He's dead." The doctors who were treating Ares couldn't help but sigh tiredly and sadly because the experimental materials they had had disappeared. The doctors one by one immediately came out of the room while removing the clothes they were wearing sadly.

One Piece World, Year 1508, East Blue, Island of the Nine Kings of the Beast
The Nine Beast Kings Island was an island created by God at Ares' request. This island has a very wide size of 500 square kilometers. The name Island of the Nine Kings of Beasts was taken because the island itself has nine beasts that act as Kings for each of their respective territories. The Desert Region which has an area of 50 square kilometers is occupied by the Lord of the Beasts who has the ability of sand, namely Shukaku. The Northern Great Forest Area which has an area of 50 square kilometers is occupied by the King of the Beasts who have the ability to fire, namely Matatabi. The Lake area which has an area of 50 square kilometers is occupied by the Water King of the beasts, Isobu.
The area of the Volcano which has an area of 50 square kilometers is occupied by the King of Beasts who has the ability to magma, namely Son Goku. The Mountain Region which has an area of 50 square kilometers is occupied by the King of the Beasts who has the ability to fog, namely Kokuo. The cave area which has an area of 50 square kilometers is occupied by the King of the Beasts who has the ability to dissolve acids, namely Saiken. The Southern Forest area which has an area of 50 square kilometers is occupied by the King of Beasts who has insect abilities, namely Chomei. The area of the lake that is connected to the sea with an area of 50 square kilometers is occupied by the King of Beasts who has the ability of an octopus, namely Gyuuki. The last is the dense forest area of the west. which has an area of 50 square kilometers is occupied by the King of Beasts who has the ability of a fox, namely Kurama.
Aside from those nine regions, there were neutral territories that were not occupied by the Beast King. The area is the Eastern Dense Forest area. This area is very different from other areas. Because in this area there are no wild animals like other areas, but in this area there are only animals that are together such as cows, goats, and other animals. Meanwhile, for the other nine regions, apart from having the King of Beasts occupying the region, the nine regions also had many beasts with quite strong abilities.
Furthermore, apart from that, around this island there is a fog that covers it. Everyone entered the fog from the outside world without Ares' permission. That person will not be able to enter this island or maybe Ares can use his authority to make that person unable to get out of the fog forever. Knowledge related to this island has also been given by God to Ares.
Ares, who had just woken up in a cave in the Eastern Dense Forest, immediately absorbed the knowledge. This is very beneficial to him because then, he no longer needs to explore the entire island because he now knows about the layout of the island's location. It also makes it easier for him to find opponents to practice in the future.
"..... Extraordinary…. Nine Kings of the Beast?... Did God take the reference from the Bijuu from the Naruto Anime? Interesting. However, there seems to be a slight change in terms of its power. The Bijuu here can't use the Bijuu Bomb ability like the Bijuu in the Anime. However, the size of the Bijuu here are also larger than the ones in the Naruto Anime except for Kurama which is the same size as his real body."
Ares heaved a sigh of relief that the Nine Beast Kings on this island were unable to use the Bijuu Bomb. Because if he could do so, Ares believed that this island might be destroyed if there was a clash between two of the Nine Beast Kings. Because from the knowledge Ares got Shukaku and Kurama have a very bad relationship and often clashes between the two because of differences of opinion.
In addition to gaining knowledge about the island that will be his home from now on, Ares also gains knowledge about haki training to the highest level, as well as knowledge about language and literacy in the world of One Piece.
Ares who had finished absorbing all the information of knowledge looked at the bracelet currently attached to his right hand. Ares immediately focused his thoughts and tried to enter the bracelet storage room. It didn't take long for Ares to enter the bracelet storage room. The bracelet storage space has a very large size of about 300 square meters. In the storage room there is a collection of clothes ranging from small sizes for children to large sizes for teenagers. There is also a box that says capsule box which functions as a capsule storage area that contains capsule housing. There is also a fruit that is oddly shaped with various patterns with the color of the fruit being green.
"This fruit…. This is a devil fruit" Ares said excitedly as he used his mind to take the devil fruit out of the storage room.
The devil fruit immediately appeared in Ares' hands. Ares swallowed his saliva, "In the story, Devil Fruits are introduced as fruits that have a bad taste even worse than the worst food….. Hopefully God will change the taste of this fruit for the better. Even if it doesn't taste good, at least this fruit is edible."
Ares prepares himself so that when the fruit tastes as described in the story, Ares can still eat it. After he was ready, Ares immediately took a bite of the devil fruit with a small bite and immediately swallowed it.
"Hmmmm…. Strange… Why does this fruit have no taste at all?" Having just swallowed the flesh of the devil fruit, Ares found that there was no taste. The Devil Fruit had a bland taste, "Well… Lucky. At least this fruit can still be eaten." Ares breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ate the whole devil fruit until it was finished.
The moment he ate the devil fruit, knowledge related to the abilities possessed by the devil fruit immediately entered his mind. Ares became very excited as he immediately stood up from the spot, "Alright. Let's try this ability." Ares immediately activated his devil fruit ability. His body suddenly floated into the air while surrounding his body was surrounded by a beautiful sky blue aura.
"Wow amazing…." Ares said in awe as he felt his body floating in the air, "Let's try controlling the surroundings." Ares turned his attention to the large rock in the cave. Ares immediately used his ability and slowly the stone was lifted up according to Ares' wishes.
"Wow….. This is amazing... Let's try crushing it." Ares clenched his fist and suddenly the boulder shattered at the same time, Ares also used his ability to compress the boulder into very small size.
The feeling that Ares had right now was very happy and also happy.
"Let's try this power outside. Use this power to fly to the point where I can see the island completely." Ares controlled his ability and started flying out of the cave at a normal speed. As soon as they got outside, Ares immediately flew upwards to a point of 1000 meters altitude, Ares could see the island completely and even saw some of the King of Beasts doing their respective activities. In addition to seeing the island, Ares also saw around the island there was a mist that protected the island from the outside. Ares could also feel that he had complete control over the mist.
"Wow!….. This island is so big and beautiful…." Ares was amazed by the view of the island that God had given him.
After being satisfied with seeing the view of the island, Ares slowly descended back from the sky while planning his activities to practice. Ares himself will train his physical fitness. This is because Ares himself knows that in this world devil fruit abilities are the second strongest ability while Haki is the most powerful power in this world. Even if Ares has unlimited stamina that allows him to use his devil fruit abilities without fear of exhaustion at all. Ares still wants to train his physical fitness. After all, if he is unable to use his Haki abilities, in the future, Ares will likely find it difficult to fight people who have a logia devil fruit. People with Logia Devil Fruit abilities can only be physically attacked with Haki power and also higher elemental strength than the user's element.
Ares himself in this world had no plans to become a Pirate, a Marine, or even a Revolutionary Army. Ares just wanted to go on an adventure to see this world in peace. However, even if he didn't join any of these three forces, Ares knew that he needed strength to be able to defend himself especially if he wanted to go to the New World. Ares not only needs devil fruit abilities but Haki abilities are also needed so that he can safely adventure as he wants.
Ares stopped a few meters off the ground and began to fly slowly around the forest to find a good location to live in while high on the island. It didn't take long for him to find a suitable location for temporary residence. The location is an open location and also has beautiful meadows and this location is only five kilometers from the coast which can make it easier for Ares to look for seafood ingredients when he wants to eat seafood.
Ares immediately descended and landed on the ground. Ares took out one of the capsules from the capsule storage case and pressed it then threw it forward.
*BOOM!*
The capsule immediately exploded with great force and emitted colorful smoke. The smoke quickly dissipated and revealed a small house that looked quite minimalist. Ares walked into the house he was going to live in for a while.
"Hmmm…. Does this house use space technology?... Incredible…" Upon entering the house, Ares found a stark difference. The room inside the house was big enough for the size of the house that looks small. In the house there is a living room, family room, kitchen, dining room, energy storage room and also two bedrooms. Each room has its own furniture of the highest quality and books that explain how to use each of the existing furniture and facilities.
Ares is very satisfied to see his new home at this time.
"Okay. I can't waste time. Let's start the training!" Ares excitedly came out of his house and started doing training with the target to be strong as fast as possible until his strength can compete with the peak power of the sea so that he is safe to go on adventures in this world.
