Reborn as Lancelot in One Piece
Rick was screwed.
Sitting in the electric chair, feeling sweat drip down his forehead, he watched as the guards made their final checks for his execution. Falsely accused of murdering five innocent people, he knew that protesting his innocence was pointless. So, he decided his last words should be something memorable.
— Go fuck yourselves.
Before they could pull the lever, everything turned white.
When he regained consciousness, Rick found himself standing in a vast, empty space. In front of him floated a glowing figure that looked like a cross between an anime narrator and a game show host. The being grinned.
— "Alright, you entertained me. I'll give you a second chance. Name one wish!"
and then rick faints by shock and wakes up after 1 hour
Rick blinked.
— "Wait... seriously?"
— "Yep. Just don't ask for something stupid like 'I want to be immortal and invincible,' because that would be boring."
Rick thought quickly. He had always loved anime, and among them, Lancelot was one of his favorite characters. A stylish, strong, and confident archer.
— "I want to be Lancelot from the anime!"
The being chuckled.
— "Nice choice. Now, let's see where you end up..."
With a snap of its fingers, a giant spinning wheel appeared, filled with names of anime, manga, and games. One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Pokémon, Dark Souls... The list seemed endless.
— "Go ahead, spin it."
Rick swallowed nervously and pulled the lever. The wheel spun for a full minute, adding to the suspense. When it finally stopped, the result shone in front of him:
ONE PIECE
Rick instantly got excited. This was his favorite anime! Well, at least up to episode 500... after that, he took a break and never got back to it.
— "Good luck!" said the omnipotent being, snapping its fingers.
Everything went dark.

A New Life in the World of One Piece
Rick woke up to the bright sunlight hitting his face. As he opened his eyes, he realized he was lying on a sandy beach. The sound of waves crashing and the salty smell of the ocean confirmed his suspicion: he was on a deserted island.
As he stood up, something felt strange. His body was different. Taller. Stronger. More... stylish?
Then, he saw his reflection in the water and his eyes widened.
— "Holy shit, I look exactly like Lancelot!"
His spiky golden hair gleamed in the sunlight, his sharp eyes had an intense gaze, and he wore a stylish archer's outfit. On his arm was an incredibly well-crafted bow.
— "Alright, now all I need is... WAIT, WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO HERE?!"
His initial excitement quickly turned into panic. One Piece was a brutal world filled with bloodthirsty pirates, giant sea monsters, and a world government that crushed anyone who opposed them. He wasn't some shonen protagonist with "plot armor."
He needed a plan.
Plan A: Survive.
Plan B: Find food and shelter.
Plan C: Maybe join the Straw Hat Pirates?
But before anything else, he needed to figure out where the hell he was. Looking around, he saw that the island had a dense forest in the center. And, as any One Piece fan knew, forests were always full of huge, dangerous creatures.
— "...I'm screwed."
And so, his adventure began.
Do you want him to join the Straw Hats or do you want him to go to the Navy or something else :)
