One Piece: New Luffy

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

"I… am I going to die like this? Right after starting my adventure?"

"No, my dream cannot end."

"Will you replace me and continue in my name?"

"Nishishishi~ Okay! We made a promise!"

------

"Ugh! Where am I? Why is everything black?"

The narrow space was damp and cold.

After Mark's consciousness gradually recovered, he felt uncomfortable.

"What is this... Why is it full of water?"

In this almost closed space, the water reached his nose.

Mark found himself huddled inside.

Suddenly, his brain throbbed with pain, and memories flooded in like a tide.

Memories of him gradually became clear.

Monkey D. Luffy encountered a tornado on his first trip. As he knew nothing about navigation, he hid in a wooden barrel and was carried away by the sea current.

But luck did not favor him as in the original.

The wooden barrel was very old and full of holes, it quickly began to accumulate water.

Sea water.

As someone who ate a Devil Fruit, Luffy ended up drowning inside the barrel due to the weakness that the water gave him.

"Now I'm Luffy..."

Isn't that a wonderful start?

Who is Luffy?

Grandfather is a Navy vice admiral and hero, Monkey D. Garp.

His father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, a group that aims to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' government, Monkey D. Dragon.

The man who led him to want to become a pirate is one of the four Emperors of the sea, captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Shanks the Red.

His future master was the former vice-captain of the crew of the former Pirate King, the renowned Silvers Rayleigh.

It is not worth mentioning other origins.

"Ptiu~ What nonsense, why should I still be a pirate? I might as well live life calmly..."

Mark thought so.

[Host, welcome to the Great Adventure System.]

A voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

A system?

Mark was a little surprised, he also received a system?

[Would you like to open the starter gift package?]

"Open it."

[Congratulations, you have obtained an Awakening Fruit.]

[Awakening Fruit: After consumption, it can awaken the user's Devil Fruit abilities. It is only effective on people who have eaten a Devil Fruit, ordinary people can only feel a wonderful taste after consuming it.]

"Awakening Fruit?"

Mark, was stunned.

Can eating this awaken your Devil Fruit?

Without thinking further, a flash of light shone in the dark space of the wooden barrel.

The next moment, Mark had a pure white fruit in his hand.

It wasn't a devil fruit because it didn't have spiral patterns on the surface. It looked like a small apple.

Without hesitation, he decisively ate it.

Tum Turu Tutum~

Tum Turu Tutum~

Tum Turu Tutum~

Tum Turu Tutum~

The sound of his heartbeat was like a drum.

For some reason, Mark felt his mood suddenly improve and he wanted to laugh.

His originally black hair turned snow white in that instant.

A powerful force suddenly surged within his body, and the seawater in the wooden barrel seemed unable to make him weak.

The original 'Luffy' became very weak due to sea water, which led to him drowning.

But at that moment, Mark, after waking up, had developed resistance and was no longer so afraid of sea water.

"Shit... I hope those annoying people didn't hear that."

Mark spoke as he remembered the world government and a certain giant elephant.

Boom!

With a light punch, Mark broke the wooden barrel and stood up.

"Phew... I finally got out."

He looked around and realized that he was in a warehouse, filled with various grains, drinks, and fruits.

*bang*

Feeling his stomach growl, Mark walked over to a barrel of fruit and picked two to eat.

"It's just in time, I'm hungry."

While eating, he listened carefully to what was happening around him.

He could hear screams and sounds of fighting outside.

"It's... the Alvida Pirates, right?"

Mark was quite familiar with One Piece.

[A/N: Using my artistic freedom, I, Supreme Dragon God, declare that our protagonist is Brazilian. Ok, for those who don't know, officially, Eichiro Oda said that Luffy would be Brazilian, so in order not to break this and by his own will, the guy who possessed Luffy's body is also Brazilian, hahaha!]

The place where he was should be a luxurious merchant ship.

And now, the ship was being targeted by a group of pirates, one of the most famous in the East Blue.

The captain, Alvida of the iron club, had a bounty of 5 million.

In the "Weakest Sea", East Blue, the average reward was only 3 million.

Mark shook his head and decided not to leave for now.

"Instead, it's better to study the system first."

He tried to open the system panel.

After a quick glance, Mark's gaze fixed on the last column.

"The Fruit of Awakening is the one I just ate... and it costs 10,000?"

Mark smiled.

However, seeing the Fruit of Life made him even happier.

After all, no one would complain about living longer.

Mainly because his Gear Fifth form consumed life force...

"As long as I have enough adventure coins, theoretically, I can live forever?"

Mark's lips curved slightly.

There are ways to achieve immortality in this world, and some have already achieved it.

"Now the question is: how do I get adventure coins?"

He continued his research.

In simple terms, there are currently three ways to obtain adventure coins.

First: Recruit and train crew members. Depending on their skills, he will be rewarded with a certain amount of adventure coins.

Second: For each day the ship sails, a certain amount of adventure coins will be obtained.

Third: Landing on a new island will reward him with a certain amount of adventure coins.

Why is it a certain amount?

Because the rewards are different in the Four Seas, Paradise and the New World.

Of course, there is one more way.

Fourth: Mastering the Grand Line, he would be rewarded with permanent free access to the adventure store!

"So whoever brought me here wants me to become a pirate? Well, fine."

"I think it will be more interesting to follow the original Luffy's dream."

"Nishishishi~"

"Oh~ Damn, I'm already laughing like him."
