In One Piece with Pokémon

The Final Step

Rudra was lying on the bed of his hotel room that Parvati had shown him. He was staring at the roof as his mind was running buck wild thinking about all the things that had happened earlier today.

He was in heaven as he had died. How, when, and why had he died? He had no idea about it. He didn't even care about that. A few hours spent here along with the gods and the millions of souls in the party was much much better than the 16 years he had spent back on Earth, when he was alive. He had decided to treat his previous life as non-existent and this event as a new start. The life he would live after reincarnation would be his first.

The interactions with the gods were a bit weird. They were really enthusiastic while talking to him. Why would the GODS talk to him in such a friendly way? Are they really that friendly with everyone?

And his mother, yes, he even had a mother now, the most motherly mother to ever exist, and that made him giddy with happiness. But their interaction was really confusing why would anyone treat an unknown boy with so much love and care, as if he is their own son?

Nothing made sense anymore.

He just shrugged it off as their nature and closed his eyes. The day was already very tiring and he didn't have the energy to stay awake and think about trivial things anymore. He decided to think about everything the next day and went to sleep.

Next Day

Rudra woke up after a good sleep and saw the same hotel room ceiling he had seen yesterday. That confirmed that everything was real and that he indeed was in heaven.

He smiled widely as today was THE day. Today he would reincarnate and start a new life. Today was the day he would leave his past behind and begin anew. To say that he was excited would be degrading the way he felt. He got up, brushed his teeth, took a shit, had a bath, just basic morning routine, wore a new set of clothes that suited him perfectly and were already placed in the wardrobe.

After he was ready, he left the room and went down to the reception to exit the hotel. The hotel was surprisingly busy today. He spotted Hestia who looked pretty exhausted near the reception. He went forward to talk to her.

"Yo Hestia, good morning."

"Oh, Rudra, good morning. I hope our service was satisfying for you?"

"Hestia, the hotel is run by YOU, of course the service was perfect.

"I am glad," Hestia said as she nodded.

"It's pretty busy today isn't it?"

"Yes. People from all over heaven came for the event yesterday, everyone is leaving for their homes now."

"So that is why there is a rush today. Well, l do you know where I can meet the others." Rudra asked

"Today is the day, huh?" asked Hestia

"Yup, today is the day."

"Come on, I will take you where you need to be and inform the others that you have woken up."

"Ok, Let's go," said Rudra, and Hestia teleported away along with him.

"Uuggghhh" Rudra clutched his head tightly and was feeling very nauseous.

"Uh oh, I should have given you a warning that teleporting for the first time would hurt. Sorry about that." Hestia apologized.

"It's alright, just give me some time to recover and I will be fine," said Rudra as he laid down on a couch nearby.

"Alright. I have already informed the others and they should be coming here in a few minutes so we will wait till then and here you go." Hestia said as she pointed her finger at his forehead and sent some kind of energy in him that instantly healed his nausea.
