Chapter 1: Rebirth on the Island of Monsters
A Second Chance at Life
Darkness. That was the only thing Pranshu could perceive. It wasn't the simple kind of darkness that came from closing one's eyes—it was absolute nothingness. He felt no pain, no warmth, no cold. Just… emptiness.
Then, suddenly, a rush of sensation flooded his mind.
"Ugh…" He groaned as his senses kicked in all at once. A salty breeze brushed against his skin, carrying the scent of the sea. The sound of rustling leaves and distant animal cries echoed in the background. He opened his eyes, greeted by the sight of a dense jungle and a bright, cloudless sky.
Where the hell was he?
Pranshu sat up, his body feeling strangely different—stronger, lighter, more refined. As he raised his hands, he noticed something was off. His arms were toned, his fingers slightly longer than before, and his skin felt… perfect. His reflection in a small puddle nearby confirmed it.
He had the appearance of Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen—but without the signature blindfold. His striking white hair and piercing blue eyes stood out even in the wild jungle around him.
His memories hit him like a truck.
"I… died?" he muttered, trying to piece everything together. He had been an ordinary person on Earth, a fan of anime and One Piece. Then… nothing. And now he was here.
"Wait… this island…"
The landscape looked familiar—lush green trees, massive rock formations, and an eerie silence in the air despite the presence of countless predators. His mind raced as he remembered something crucial.
"This is Ruskaina Island!"
The very place where Luffy trained under Rayleigh during the timeskip. A terrifying island with 48 seasons that changed every week, filled with monstrous beasts and extreme climates.
And if his timeline calculations were correct…
"Ace has just set sail. That means I have two years before I leave this island… and one year before Luffy starts his journey."
A slow grin spread across his face. This was his chance.
The First Treasure: A Devil Fruit of Legends
As Pranshu stood up, shaking off his initial shock, a strange glowing fruit caught his attention. It lay just a few meters away, its presence almost unnatural.
The fruit had black and white swirling patterns across its surface, radiating an ominous yet divine energy. It felt… powerful, even from a distance.
His eyes widened.
"A Devil Fruit?" He muttered in disbelief, stepping closer. As someone from Earth, he instantly recognized its significance.
He knelt and carefully picked it up, his fingers tracing the odd, textured surface.
No doubt about it—this was his golden ticket.
But which one was it?
Then, like a sudden flash, information flooded his mind.
[Akuma Akuma no Mi, Model: Lucifer]
(Mythical Zoan – Fallen Angel Form)
Abilities:
Reality Manipulation: Partial control over concepts, matter, and energy.
Light & Darkness Fusion: Complete mastery over both elements, surpassing the Pika Pika no Mi and Yami Yami no Mi.
Haki Enhancement: Naturally boosts all Haki types.
Devil Nullification: Can disable other Devil Fruit abilities on contact.
Devil Soul Absorption: Can steal Devil Fruits from deceased users.
Immortality Resistance: High-speed regeneration and near-immortality.
Pranshu's hands trembled as he processed the information.
"This… this is broken," he whispered. It wasn't just any Devil Fruit. It was the perfect fusion of Light and Darkness, with powers surpassing even Admirals and Emperors.
His mind was made up instantly. He took a deep breath—and bit into the fruit.
The taste was horrible, like rotten flesh mixed with battery acid, but he forced it down. Instantly, his body burned with divine and demonic energy, black and golden flames flickering around him before settling. His muscles tightened, his mind expanded, and he could feel something awakening inside him.
Power. Pure, unmatched power.
A slow, almost sinister grin formed on his lips.
"This world… is mine to take."
The Second Treasure: A Path to True Strength
As his body adjusted to his newfound power, something else caught his eye—a worn-out book lying next to where the Devil Fruit had been.
Picking it up, he read the cover:
"Haki Mastery: The Path to Awakening All Three Types."
His breath hitched.
This was exactly what he needed.
Flipping through the pages, he quickly realized something—this wasn't an ordinary book. It detailed everything about Haki: how to unlock it, how to train it, how to push it beyond its limits into godlike territory.
And then—another rush of information flooded his mind.
[Proficiency System Activated]
A blue panel appeared before him, displaying his current stats.

A smirk formed on his lips.
Not only did he have a god-tier Devil Fruit, but he also had a Proficiency System that would allow him to train without bottlenecks and push all his skills to their peak.
With two years of dedicated training ahead of him, he was going to break every limit.
A New King Rises
Pranshu clenched his fists, feeling the raw power coursing through him.
He wasn't Luffy. He wasn't some naive hero who wanted an adventure.
His goal was clear: To become the King of the World.
And along the way, he would conquer all the beautiful women this world had to offer—by any means necessary.
As the sun set over Ruskaina Island, a new legend was about to be born.
The world of One Piece would never be the same again.
