Jason had always lived an ordinary life. A kid from New York, working a dead-end job, and barely scraping by. But there was one thing that gave him joy—One Piece. Every Sunday, without fail, he would sit down and immerse himself in the world of pirates, Devil Fruits, and Haki. For him, it wasn't just an anime; it was an escape.
On a fateful day, Jason rushed through the busy streets, late for work once again. He darted toward the bus stop, heart pounding, when he noticed a little girl standing in the middle of the road, looking lost. She must have been no older than five, eyes wide with fear, searching desperately for her mother.
Jason didn't think twice. He sprinted toward her as a truck came barreling down the road, showing no signs of slowing down. The screeching tires screamed in his ears. With all his strength, Jason pushed the girl out of harm's way. The last thing he saw was her wide, terrified eyes before everything went black.
Jason opened his eyes to an endless white void. Confused, he rubbed his head, trying to recall what had just happened. A soft voice echoed behind him, and when he turned, he saw an old man with gray hair and white robes, radiating an ethereal glow.
"Where... am I?" Jason asked, his voice trembling.
The old man smiled warmly. "You're in my realm now."
Jason blinked, still disoriented. "Am I... dead?"
The man nodded. "Indeed, you sacrificed your life to save my granddaughter."
Jason froze. "Wait, your granddaughter?"
The man chuckled softly. "Yes, the little girl you saved on Earth. You see, my children and grandchildren sometimes visit your world. She wandered off, and you saved her from a tragic fate."
Jason sat down, overwhelmed by the weight of his actions. He wasn't angry; if anything, he felt proud. But something gnawed at him—the realization that he would never see the end of One Piece.
Tears welled up in his eyes. "I'll never know how One Piece ends," he whispered.
The old man's expression softened. "What if I told you... you could create your own ending?"
Jason's eyes snapped up. "What do you mean?"
The man raised his hand, and the vast white space around them began to shift. "As a reward for saving my granddaughter, I'll grant you four wishes. And yes, you can be reincarnated into the world of One Piece."
Jason's heart skipped a beat. "You're serious?"
The old man nodded. "Very."
For a moment, Jason was silent, but soon, excitement took over. This was exactly like the fanfics he had read online! Reincarnation? Into One Piece? He could hardly contain himself. "Okay," he said, wiping away his tears, "I want to be reincarnated in the world of One Piece, but with a few... upgrades."
The old man smiled knowingly. "State your wishes, child."
Jason took a deep breath. This was his chance. He couldn't waste it.
"First wish," Jason began, "I want to have the power of the Dragon Dragon no Mi, Model: Elemental Dragon God. I want to be able to control eight elements—ice, thunder, light, quake, dark, gold, sun, and wood—and have the same abilities as if they were separate Devil Fruits. I want to transform parts of my body into those elements like a Logia, but only in partial dragon or human form. And, I want to be able to awaken each element individually."
The old man nodded. "Granted. Next?"
Jason's excitement grew. "Second wish: I want a Treasure Hunting System. It should give me maps to treasures like Devil Fruits, weapons, gold, tech, materials, and talents. I'll earn system points from killing pirates and completing missions, which I can use to buy items like Devil Curse Eraser Potions to remove the sea-cursed effect of Devil Fruits. And, of course, potions for health and stamina."
"Granted. What's next?"
Jason's mind raced. "Third wish: I want Ultimate Talent. I want to have the highest potential in swordsmanship, physical abilities, Haki, strategy, and tactics."
The old man smiled again. "A wise choice. Your final wish?"
Jason paused for a moment, thinking deeply. Then he smirked. "For my last wish, I want a unique body. A combination of the talents of Blackbeard, Big Mom, and Patrick Redfield. I want to be born with monstrous strength, durability, and endurance. I also want the ability to eat two Devil Fruits, and I want to be born with Observation Haki that allows me to read memories and understand people's feelings."
The old man laughed, his voice echoing in the vast white space. "Ambitious, but granted. You will have a body like no other. Now, Jason, live well in this new life. Your dreams are waiting for you."
Jason grinned, already imagining the life he was about to live. "Thank you," he said with all his heart. "Make sure you keep your granddaughter out of trouble ."
The old man waved a hand, and everything around Jason started to blur. "Good luck, Dragon God Emperor," the old man said as Jason's vision began to fade.
