One Piece: I Just Want A Family

Family Dreamer

"All I ever wanted was to be with you and have a family together, to live with you forever like in those stories, sigh I guess it was never meant to be"

Looking up at the woman standing over him as his vision became blurry, Ephon could only sigh. He was an orphan, abandoned since a baby, and as long as he can remember he had been longing for a family, that was his biggest dream. 

As he grew older he realized that in this miserable and unstable world, he would need money and status to protect his future family.

"It's your fault Ephon, I told you that I don't wanna have kids, and you decided to leave me, you never loved me, but I love you that's why no one else is gonna have you, and don't worry about the money I'm gonna put it to good use"

"You crazy woman, I'm glad we didn't have kids, you decided to poison me just because I wanted to break up with you, I told from the first time I met you that I wanted to make a family with you and you agreed, but now you changed your mind when I proposed to you, obviously you don't wanna be with me so I decided to leave and I even gave you five hundred thousand dollars, you you.."

"Shut up, you sold your shipwrights business to move to the mountains for your so call family, why can't we enjoy our live here in the city, oh and by the way, the government wanted the land you bought in the mountains and when you die I'm gonna sell it, so sleep well Ephon maybe you'll get your so call family in the afterlife hahaha"

Seeing the woman he thought was the love of his life walking away laughing as he closed his eyes, Ephon actually realized that he wasn't as angry as he thought, but he still had a bit of regret.

"I'm sorry" was all he could mutter before he finally closed his eyes.

...

In utter darkness that seem to be endless Ephon stood with his eyes wide open, he had realize his situation the moment he came here, during his time at and after work he would read novels about reincarnation into another world and meeting Rob as they called it so he has been waiting to on the God to come but so far, nothing.

"A little impatient are we?" a voice rang out seemingly from all directions.

Instead of panicking, Ephon calmly looked around until he realized that he couldn't see whom and where specifically the voice was coming from.

"I am the void, where there is void there is me, anyways I am not who you think I am, but I do have the authority to reincarnate you like those beings in your stories, and that is what I am here to do"

"Okay, void right, can I go to a peaceful world and can you make me rich, and..."

"Stop, aren't you curious as to why I'm doing this for you?"

"Nope, as long as I don't become a slave and have my own freewill I'm fine with having a second chance at life"

"You are a very interesting human, okay, let's get back on track, the world that you will be reincarnated to is One Piece"

"What! No way void, I don't want to live with those blood hungry monsters, give me another one"

"Hahaha, I know your whole story Ephon, you served in the army after you finished school, although only for five years, you have taken the life of many humans until you got your foot injury, and decided to start a shipbuilding business"

"Well if you know my life then you would know that I wish for a stable life with a happy family more than anything else, that's why I even... never mind so do I have any perks at least to raise my chances of surviving"

"Well of course you do, you know about Hashirama Senju right? Well you will have his sage body and some of his wood style abilities as your perks, and before you get excited let me explain, the sage body basically gives you top physical strength and regenerative power, you simply need to train and you'll likely have the strongest physique in the One piece world, and all of this is fueled by your physical energy and not chakra, there's no such thing as chakra in One piece. Lucky for you, the sage body will provide you with huge amounts of stamina and physically energy so you only need to worry about getting stronger"

"I.. I, I don't know what to say, I will definitely be able to protect myself with this, thank yo.. wait you haven't told me about my wood release!"

"Yes that, how to say this well.. you will be able to create and manipulate trees/wood like a logia, but the you will only be able to use three of Hashirama's wood style abilities in One Piece, so you'll basically have to create your own moves, or recreate some of Hashirama's, it wouldn't be that hard, in fact your wood style will be much stronger than Hashirama, just not as weird as his."

"Okay that kind of makes sense, so tell what are the three abilities?"

"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique and, Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands"

"Not bad, not bad at all, can I ask why these three? Even though I kind of know why I still wanna make sure"

"Yes you guessed right, it's because of their weirdness, Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees in the One Piece world where there is no chakra, the pollen it releases will instead suck away at the physical strength of those that inhale it until they pass out. Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique will be able to absorb and transfer the physical strength of those that it touches"

"And..."

"And what?"

"The last one, 'Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, these abilities might save my life so I wanna know" Ephon said impatiently.

"As for Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, you'll only be able to use this when and if you have Marine Admiral level strength, you'll figure its uses out by yourself when that time comes" the void said in a playful voice

"Alright let me get back on track, so I will be sending you to the One Piece World, location the Calm Belts , year 1400, background; orphaned baby, nothing too special, you will retain your appearance with some slight adjustments, the island you will be born on is called Yarilo, and the forest their is alive so it will provide for you your basic needs until you're two years old"

"1400! Give me a break, I think you're doing this on purpose! just send me to hell if that's what you want to do?"

"No this is because of... ahh where's the fun in that, you'll find out eventually.. I think haha"

"Okay so for your last perk, you'll have the lifespan of a Giant and so will your descendants, and the woman that births your child will also obtain the regenerative ability of your sage body and your long lifespan, but that's it, and by the way, this has something to do with your reincarnation, I can tell you why, but you'll lose this specific perk, so do you wanna know why?"

Hearing the playful voice of Void, Ephon, who was about to say something, closed his mouth but the curiosity on his face didn't diminish.

"Alright, good luck, maybe you'll fulfill your dream in your new life"

"Thank you Void" was all Ephon could say before he seemingly disintegrated.
