When I was Five Months old, I gained consciousness. And I knew that I had died.My past life was nothing spectacular, I had a normal family and normal friends, normal hobbies, and a normal education. After graduating from a normal university and getting a normal job, I died a normal death from a normal piano falling on top of my head as I was walking down a normal street at the ripe old age of thirty.Normal.This new life I was reincarnated into? Not normal.I was born as one Spandam Smith, or Smith Spandam, seeing as the surname comes before the given name here.Smith... Another Normal Name... At least Spandam has some color to it, It sounds exotic.I like exotic, It's only natural for my reincarnated life to be more exotic and colorful, who would want to reincarnate just to live a normal life all over again?!"Spandam~ It's time to go outside and get some sun~" My Father, Spandine, cooed at me as he picked me up from the crib and took me outside for a walk in our garden.He was a young man, Spandine, much younger than the father I had in my previous life, being only 25 years old. He was a loving father, if a bit cowardly at times, but still overall a good parent.He works for the World Government as a high-ranking member of their intelligence agency, Cipher Pol.My Mother on the other hand runs the house, having no need to work a job of her own thanks to both the wealth her father gave her, and my Father's high-paying government job.And isn't that a nice thing, World Government, what an interesting concept.Sadly, I don't know enough about the world outside the walls of my home, seeing as I'm still only five months old, but I can already tell, that this new world I found myself in, will be very exciting.---------------------------------When I was Six years old, something finally happened in my new life that I would be able to call, Interesting.It wasn't related to my new vast wealth acquired from both my father's prestigious job or my mother's bloodline, But to the mystical elements that decorated this new world I now lived in.You see, I was gifted a sword. It was a simple sword, A Saber, a sharp blade with a slight curve.I was swinging it around in an area behind my house where plenty of different fruit trees were growing.I wasn't doing it for training or anything, I was still only six, I simply wanted to do something to deal with the boredom of being unable to leave the house on my own.I cut through oranges and apples, listening to the squishy and juicy sounds that escaped the fruits as I cut through them.A Cut over here, a slash over there, To an outside observer I probably looked incredibly silly, A small child swinging a sword like an amateur, cutting down fruits like he was some sophisticated monkey.And then It happened."Troo?"As I cut into a weird-looking white clementine with swirling patterns on the skin, My sword slipped out of my hand and landed on the floor, where it rattled a bit, as if inside it was a creature trying to escape.I widened my eyes as I watched the saber shift and grow until before me stood a white Elephant, its trunk replaced by the blade of a sword.All my stunned mind could say as I watched the white elephant that stood before me was "Holy shit.""Troo!" The Elephant tooted, its blade morphing into a normal trunk before it started patting my head, a warm look in its surprisingly intelligent eyes as it seemed to hug me."...Dad! Something happened to my sword!"------------------------------------------Devil Fruits, Mysterious fruits that gave those who ate it mystical powers, with the downside of losing the ability to swim.Apparently, The white Clementine I cut into was actually one of these Devil Fruits, and my Sword ate it and gained the ability to transform into an Elephant.I will not explain the science behind a sword eating a fruit, because I do not understand it. But it has something to do with the fruit being a Zoan type.Devil Fruits are split into three categories; Zoan, Paramecia, and Logia. Each working in different ways.Zoan types allow the user to transform into different creatures, like an Elephant. Making the user an Elephant-Human for example. Or an Elephant-blade in the case we have.Logia types allow the user who ate them to take on aspects of nature, giving the user the ability to generate and transform his body into a specific element at will, such as Mud, making the user a Mud-Human.And finally, we have the Paramecia types, fruit that give their users abilities that don't fit into either the Zoan or Logia typing, such as the ability to grow sharp spikes out of parts of your body, or the ability to turn anything you touch into a cube. Turning the user into a Spiky-Human or a Cube-Human respectively.--------------------------------------------"...""Troo?""...I'm going to name you Funkfreed.""Troo!"-------------------------------------------"...I wonder how much you can lift with your trunk.""Troo?""Let's go find out!""Troo!"-------------------------------------------"Okay Spandam, It's time to start training you for real!" My father told me as he walked up to me and Funkfreed, the two of us were laying in the garden, enjoying the weather."Huh? For what?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow at my Father."To make you a Chief of Cipher Pol of course!" Spandine smiled widely at me, a now nine-year-old child.I turned to share a look with my Pet Elephant and Best Friend."Troo?""Yep, Let's do this." And so began the next stage of my new life.My Name is Spandam, Smith Spandam, and I'm going to become the Greatest Chief of Cipher Pol the World Government has ever seen!"Troo!"
