Being Bad in One Piece

(MC POV)

I did not see that coming. I thought it was a normal survey, like for real. There I was chilling and browsing on my phone after a boring day at work when I got a link to a survey from an unknown number. I've been rickrolled far too many times not to know what this had to be ... but I still clicked it. 

Come on, like you never clicked it anyway. Well, I did and I wasn't sad about it. It was a survey that introduced me to gather ideas for a fanfiction. Can you believe that? How far has modern media and cinema fallen that there are now surveys for fanfiction ideas? But I get it. I also read a lot of them. Couldn't get enough of them, I admit. 

¬ Fanfiction Survey 

1. Question:

What world would your story take place in?

Answer:

.... 

I typed One Piece in there. I liked One Piece. The art, the storytelling, the worldbuilding ... man everything was amazing there. Eiichiro Oda was a master at his craft and the reason why there were so many fanfictions of One Piece out there, was just because the story allowed so much freedom.

¬ 2. Question

What powers would you like to have if you could choose?

Answer:

....

I mean if you're going to One Piece you either go the DF route and invest in that fully, like Blackbeard. Or you go the non-DF route and go full Haki. I was more of a non-DF kinda' guy. You know what I mean? But if I read a fanfiction, I usually think that the MC's should pick better. 

I knew that if it was me, I would pick something that would allow me to grow continuously. And in a world like One Piece where you have to fight stronger people to grow more powerful, I would pick a growth-type skill any time of the day. 

So I would normally pick adaptation or evolution of some kind. But then I stopped myself and thought about it. A good story was not necessarily about getting overpowered instantly. And while Doomsday level adaptation was cool and I would pick it ANY other time, if it was real life I mean, I chose something else.

Answer:

- Powers of Metal Bat from One Punch Man.

.

That's right you cats. Metal Bat also known as Bad from One Punch Man had the power that I thought fit perfectly into One Piece. That dude was a willpower monster. He wouldn't stop fighting and the longer the fight went on and the higher his fighting spirit got, the stronger he became. Now if that wasn't sick in One Piece I didn't know what was. 

¬ 3. Question

If you had to pick a martial art, armed or unarmed combat, what would you pick?

Answer:

....

See now this was a hard one. Normally I'd probably say something like Renewal Taekwondo or Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist or whatever ... but I didn't. I was so stupid. Although ... this might have been a good thing as well. I mean what I wrote wasn't really a martial art and more of a training method or technique ...

Answer:

- None

.

Yeah ... that happened. I mean it's definitely not a flashy choice as some of the other martial arts I could have chosen and I WOULD have chosen others if I had known that I'd wake up in the body of a 3-year-old or something in the ruins that used to be called Oykot Kingdom.

.

.

.

I guess I can't do anything about it. And my choices weren't bad ... they're really good. I just wish I'd answered the questions differently. Eh ... fuck it. You know what? Fuck the survey and fuck the danger, I'll become strong. I'll fight until I win that's my new motto. 

OK, so what should I do now? Oykot Kingdom is abandoned and in ruins. There are no humans around here, so I'm on my own. I guess I'll have to start hunting for food. Then shelter. I don't want to but camping is my best bet. I don't want to live in some abandoned house where people died or were killed. 

But I will loot everything for goods I can use to make my life easier. Something like chairs, tables, plates, forks and knives. Maybe there are also some valuables I could take. 

.

So that is food and shelter as well as accessories taken care of. Now for other things. I will need to start woodworking. I might want to build a small boat I can use to leave this sad place here. I don't want to stay alone for long. It would get boring. I need people to fight. Well ... I can fight the wildlife for now. I guess that works. 

And that also brings me to the next point. Strength. I need to grow stronger. I have this desire to grow stronger and ... feel lost. I don't know why. I guess I don't have anyone to protect right now. A man is at his strongest when he has something to protect. 

He what do you know, I guess Bad is starting to affect me. I don't think I asked for his character though. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in the survey. I am still me from before and all my thoughts are the same. I do however feel the need to go out and see the world. I also want to bash in some heads. 

.

Ok, so for now I'll look for a place to crash. Then I'll see what my surroundings look like and where I can get fresh water and food. After that, I'll look at some homes and see from there. I'll also start with basic workouts to get stronger. You know the basic calistenics and the like. I'm not sure whether a child of 3 years should do that though.

(A few days later)

Dude this is harder than I thought. I managed to scout a bit of the surrounding area of the Oykot Kingdom. Since there aren't any humans left here, nature has taken over. It is dangerous for a 3-year-old man. I had a fight with a boar the other day and let me tell you ... it wasn't as close as I'd hoped. I mean I had him but then ... well I nearly died. 

Fucking pig.

Just you wait, I'll be seeing you again. I began to train. I have not much else to do right now and I like to use my body to the max and go beyond my limits.

I can see this will definitely make me powerful in the future. I am currently looking for a good bat to fight with. I feel the need ... the need for a bat. I'm also looking for new clothes. The stupid boar destroyed mine. 

.

(2 Weeks later)

I am done with my workout today. Now it is time to meet the boar again. I haven't had meat in weeks now and it is time for me to feast on that dumb animal. We had our daily fights and I always lost. He knocks me out before I can get into the fight. I still have to get stronger. 

I make my way to the place where I know the boar lives. His territory if you will. He is very territorial. Oh, have I mentioned that this boar is about the size of a horse? Yeah, it's big. 

*dun dun dun*

I turn around and then see my arch nemesis. 

"There you are, you overgrown piece of meat. I'll eat you today, and you can believe that!", I say and get ready for his charge. 

*Huff Huff*

*Screee*

The boar screeches and storms towards me. I am ready though and meet his attack head-on. That fucker does this every time. But who the fuck does he think he is? I'm not easy to kill. I'll just continue to fight until I win.

"Argh ... is that all you got you pig?!"

I block the boar with my crossed arms and he pushes me farther and farther into the woods. I don't stop though and keep blocking. This is the day he dies. 

He smashes me through a tree ... and then another one ... and another ... and ...

I use all of my strength and push my feet into the ground and try to slow him down. It takes about 30 seconds until we are finally at a standstill. I can't feel my arms ... or legs right now. But that doesn't matter. I'm getting pumped. 

I move my body slightly to the side and use the boar's momentum against him. As he is right next to me, I punch with all my strength with a right hook. My fist lands and hits the boar in his temple. But it doesn't do much. 

*Screee!!*

The boar comes to a stop and turns around to face me again. I'm huffing and puffing right now. 

He charges again and I try to jump to then hit him from above ... but my legs fail me. I don't have enough strength. My eyes widen in surprise and then look in front just in time to see the boar crashing into me. This time I couldn't block and shoot back like a ragdoll.

"Cough Cough ... ah shit. That hurt you stupid pig!"

.

I stand back up. I have pain all over ... but that doesn't matter. I'm feeling better than ever. I'm pumped up!!

"Come on! COME ON!!!", I scream like a madman and attack the boar this time. 

It turns around and sees me rushing towards it. I believe it's surprised that the fight isn't over. Normally that would be the case but I'm pumped now so you better make your testament. 

The boar turns around and swipes its head upwards to hit me. I block with my right forearm, bring my left arm down and hit his head. The boar screeches again but I don't listen. I hit it again and again and ... I want to hit it again but the boar's head crashes into me.

I fly back again. The boar is breathing heavily as well now. It seems to be surprised at this outcome. He looks at me again and then approaches to make sure that I'm truly dead this time. But as it is above me to sniff, I open my eyes and bring both of my fists together, with the boar's face in between. 

The animal staggers back a bit. I stand back up again and attack again. I hit him in the sides two times and then moved around a bit. The face is the most vulnerable part of this animal and I want to do the most damage. 

.

Our fight continues. I punch the boar in the face as many times as I can and he retaliates by headbutting me and stomping on me. I can feel my fighting spirit reaching new heights. 

"I'M PUMPED!!!"

I'm getting stronger as we fight. But I don't realise this at this time. I attack again and he does too. We do more and more damage and finally ... the end is near. I can feel that he has no more strength left. One final attack is all it takes. 

I clench my fist as hard as I can and rush towards him ... he does too and then we meet in the middle. My fist impacts with his head and his head crashes into my body right after that. 

*Crack*

After that ... I fell unconscious.
