Discovery.

Amaru was about to be reincarnated into the One-piece world, he was about to experience both a fun and possibly lethal journey.

"So, am I going to get transported now or…" Amaru.

"Patience kid, I'm locating the devi fruit and then I'm going to send you there and you will eat it immediately."

"Why are you so keen on me eating the fruit?" Amaru.

"Simple, in this world, the Reaper-Reaper no mi is a Mythological Zoan Type Devi Fruit. It's one of those fruits that the world government has tried to capture for more than 800 years but has failed."

"So, basically like Luffy's Nika."

"Pretty much, although it does have its difference."

"Okay…in which era am I going to be?"

"You'll be sent back 2 years before canon starts. That must be more than enough for you to train your abilities."

"Good, because I know nothing about swordsmanship."

"Aha! Here it is. Prepare for liftoff Amaru."

A portal appears under Amaru and then disappears from Wexof's domain.

"Now then, time to see what type of adventure will this guy show me." Wexof smirks and goes back to his comfy bed.

(Here comes the intro!)

"Wealth, fame, power. The world had it all won by one man: the Pirate King, Gold Roger. At his death, the words he spoke drove countless men out to sea."

"My treasure? It's yours if you want it. Find it! I left all the world has there!"

"And so, men set sights on the Grand Line, in pursuit of their dreams. The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era!"

(This will be the only time that I'll put the opening, its too much word consuming)

Amaru awakes in the middle of an unknown island, he didn't recognize it from any island shown in the anime. He got up and the first thing he did was to look for a water source, he eventually found a small pond and looked the reflection of himself.

He looked 14-years-old and his appearance changed from his former self. His hair was neon cyan color instead of black and green irises with a black pupil instead of brown. Needless to say, he looks very different. He was wearing a pretty simple set of clothes as well.

'So, where's that devil fruit?' Amaru thought.

Out of nowhere, said devil fruit fell from the sky and landed on Amaru's head. Amaru rubbed his head and saw the fruit.

'Well, here we go. Goodbye swimming lessons.' *MUNCH*

Amaru took a big bite from the fruit and prepared for the worst. Oddly enough, the fruit itself wasn't that bad, but the aftertaste was so horrible that Amaru almost pukes.

After almost 2 hours of almost throwing up, Amaru got up and tried to use his powers but couldn't use them properly due to his lack of understanding.

'That's what I get for not negotiating a better power-up. Whatever, where's that sword of mine anyway.'

Amaru went and explored the island, he encountered many weird species of animals and plants, he found several places for shelter and even had some time to do some basic exercises, but still no trace of the sword.

'Where's my Zanpakuto? I haven't seen anything like that in this island. Wait, if this sword is bound to me then, how about I try to find it by sensing it?'

Amaru decided to take a deep breath and closed his eyes. The mysterious energy that lied dormant in his body was now manifesting outside from it, slowly but surely a small thread of said energy pointed into a specific direction.

Amaru stood up without knowing and step by step traversed the large island until he arrived at his location, it was an abandoned shrine with the symbol of the soul society. Amaru opened his eyes and saw the imponent structure and remained at awe.

'Wow…this must be what Wexof meant when he said that the fruit was bound to the story of this world.'

In the middle of the shrine was a broken sword with a very rusted hilt and even had some spiderwebs everywhere. Amaru had the feeling of being connected with the sword and decided to take it.

The moment he took the sword, a flash of light surrounded the area. Amaru was blinded but oddly enough could still see. Through the flash of light, he heard a voice.

'What is your name?' Asked the voice.

Amaru wanted to say his name but stopped.

'New world, new me, time for a name change.'

"My name is Daimon D Kaizo!" Kaizo baptize himself with that new name.

The flash of light fades and the sword looked fixed. Everything was normal about it, the weight, the balance and even the sharpness were so polished that it looked like a product taken out freshly from the smithy.

'You are still not worthy of knowing my name. Raise your strength, or die in this cruel world.' The voice spoke and then went silent.

'Very useful…said no one.' Kaizo.

Kaizo took the sword and went to do some basic preparations to survive in the island by himself. During his time on the island many things happened, he learned how to use a sword, he learned that the energy he possesses can be molded at will and change its properties and he learned the principles to use his Shinigami powers.

After almost a year of surviving on the island by himself, the sword decided to talk to him again.

'Owner…'

'Huh?'

'It's time.'

'Time for what?'

'Time…for you to know my name and begin your path to inherit the will of Shinka.'

'Who's Shinka?'

'All in due time owner. For now, let me explain what your abilities as a Shinigami are.'

'Your powers come from the spiritual energy, said energy allows you to transform in a Shinigami, however, the energy also bestows some of the other's races powers as well, like the Quincy's Blut and the Hollows Cero.'

'Ok, I have no ideas of what those are but thanks.'

'Before telling you my name, I will make sure that you learn as many of those abilities as possible.'

'Neat.'

And thus, the training regime began. From memorizing the chants for Hado and Kido, to correcting his sword stances, Kaizo made significant progress to raise his overall strength. The only subject remaining is what will he change throughout the events of the story.

'Ok, with that, I have completed my list of what to do in this world. With all of this ready, I must try something that has always been in my mind. Can a devil fruit user resist the weakness of sea water?'

Kaizo got closer to the coast of the island and put his foot on the water. Immediately, he felt his entire body growing weaker by the second and a painful headache. He retracted his feet and took long breaths.

'I never expected that to be this painful. GOD! Guess I gotta step it up a notch.'

Over the next few weeks, Kaizo has advanced in all his different abilities, he learned quite a handful of Shinigami techniques but hasn't been able to awaken neither Hollows abilities or Quincy's.

And like that, he grew on the island for another year.

"Can't believe that it's been 2 years since I came to this world, everything seems so…BORING!!!"

"Oi! Wexof! Why the hell did you send me to an island closer to the beginning of the Romance Dawn arc or something!"

'Who are you calling master?'

'Nonya'

'Nonya?'

'Non ya business.'

'…'

"Hah! Sorry partner, I'm just so bored of being stuck in this island."

'I can tell, why don't you simply build a boat and set sail?'

"Can't, don't know how to navigate, much less sail."

'Oh, don't you worry master, I'm sure that something will show up to aid you in this situation.'

Just before he could complain, he saw something at the distance. It was a ship, a big one, he was surprised of the new development and prayed that the ship would go to his direction.

The ship was indeed enroute to Kaizo's island and he was happy to get a liftoff. Kaizo decided to wait until they disembark and then sneak inside the boat.

The closer the ship got to the island, the more excited Kaizo was getting, until he saw the ship's jolly roger. It was the Red-Haired Pirates.

'......….'

'THE RED-HAIRED PIRATES?!' Kaizo was in shock (Insert surprised face moment)

'What are they doing here?!'

'Who are them host?'

'Just one of the most notorious pirate crews around the whole world.' Kaizo.

'Are they evil pirates?'

'Not really, but for some reason, they look extremely depressed.' Kaizo.

A few minutes later the Red-Haired Pirates disembarked on the island, they had gloomy faces and the look on their faces was ass if they had lost meaning to life.

Kaizo couldn't see the formerly happy pirates in such mood. So, he decided to present himself to them. Kaizo started to walk towards them and they soon noticed his presence.

Kaizo was carrying some fish and was dragging a pile of wood for a campfire. He put the fish on a nearby rock and started to prepare the campfire. The Red-Haired Pirates were still analyzing Kaizo's behavior and kept an eye close to him.

After the fire was lit, Kaizo pierced the fish and put them to cook on the fire. He then began a conversation.

"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" Kaizo spoke while looking at the sky.

"Each day, how many people live through hell? How many people suffer at expenses of other's mistakes? How many get sick with uncurable diseases?"

Shanks remembers Roger.

"The Red-Haired Pirates should be a cheerful crew that enjoy life to its fullest. So, why are you making such long faces?" Kaizo looks at Shanks.

Shanks remained silent but spoke soon afterwards.

"A brat like you wouldn't understand." Shanks spoke with a cold gaze.

"You lost someone right?" Kaizo spoke.

The Red-Haired Pirates looked at him with all the intentions of shutting him off but Shanks raised his hand ordering to stop.

"What would you know about that?" Shanks.

"Nothing, I just know the face of losing loved ones all too well." Kaizo looks into the campfire.

It's not entirely a lie, Kaizo had a very big family and would go to funerals at minimum once per year.

"Changing the subject, what is a brat like you in this island, is there anyone else around here?"

"We'll talk about that person later, and about me, I've been living here for the past 2 years."

The Red-Haired Pirates were quite surprised from hearing that fact.

"All alone?" Benn Beckman.

"Yes."

"What about your parents?" Lucky Roux.

"Don't know, don't remember them."

The scene got even more heavy than before.

"No need to worry!" Spoke Kaizo with a smile.

"If they are alive, then we shall meet again in this vast world, and if they are dead, then we'll meet in the afterlife!" Kaizo declared raising a fish and then biting a huge chunk off it.

Shank's gloomy face started to change and he did the same.

"Oi! Guys! Let's have a party!!!"

Soon after, the whole crew regained their cheerful selves and started to party alongside Kaizo.
