How...Exciting!

*SQUAWK* *SQUAWK*

That's weird...I don't remember sleeping near birds...or...sand...?

I slowly get up and the first thing I saw was a vast sea.

It was the most beautiful scene I have ever laid my eyes.

I took a moment to keep the image in my head and then started to look around.

I see mountains and what looks like a town in the distance, so I get up and started to fly to it.

*BAM*

"GAHH"

...or not...

You may be wondering why I thought I could fly...well...when you want to escape reality just as bad as me, you start to come up with ways to do so.

My go-to was lucid dreaming. I tried to master it as soon as I heard about it and I got a hang of it.

So you can tell how shocked I was when it didn't work...and when it hurt.

"Damn it...that hurt way more than it should..."

I slowly got up and dust the dirt off me.

"Wonder why it didn't work...looks like I'm walking there instead..."

I sighed and began walking.

While walking, I notice how everything looks so colorful and animated. The way the trees sway, the wind blowing on my face, the feel of the sand on my feet.

Everything felt so...real...

"Maybe..."

I shook my head.

This is no way my wish came true, I'm only sleeping...I will get up soon and be disappointed again...

I continue walking.

I took the time to examine my body.

Finally, I notice just how small my body is. It looks like it was around...9 years old?

I try to change it, but it doesn't work...

...I'm beginning to think this is not a dream, I feel something is building up inside me...but it's not fear or panic.

I won't let it out until I'm really sure about this.

My body is shivering with restlessness, I quicken my steps to reach the town faster.

About 12 minutes later, I make it into the town.

It's quiet, but I see a few people walking the streets.

I run towards the closes person I could talk to.

"Excuse me, ma'am, could you tell me what this place is called?"

The lady I got the attention of looked at me weirdly before answering my question.

"Sure little one, you are currently in Frost Moon Village," she said with a kind smile.

I froze.

I could hear the lady trying to get my attention back but I ignore her.

...really...did it actually worked...?

Am I really...in another world

And just not any world...but One Piece...

"ha...haha...HAHAHAHA!"

I laugh.

I laugh so hard that I was shedding tears.

Everyone was looking at me weirdly and the lady looked horrified but I didn't care.

My dream...it FINALLY came true...

There is a new life waiting for me, one that is not dull like my last one but is full of danger.

But that doesn't stop me from laughing.

I was just too happy...too...excited.

*BAM*

"Oh no! Little boy!"

...maybe too excited...
