Chapter 2: The Birth of My Own One Piece
Kaito Ren sat in front of his laptop, frustration bubbling within him as he stared at the screen. It had been a month since he found himself in this strange new world, and each day had felt like a crushing reminder of what was missing. One Piece—the epic adventures he had cherished—simply didn't exist here. No Luffy, no Straw Hat crew, just an endless sea of romance novels and stories that left him feeling hollow.
"Why can't I find One Piece anywhere?" he sighed, running a hand through his flowing black hair, reminiscent of Shanks. "Everywhere I look, it's just... love stories. Ugh!"
His heart sank as he thought about how alone he was in this world, cut off from the vibrant stories that had once brought him joy. Memories of watching Luffy's wild adventures played in his mind, and the realization hit him hard: if he couldn't find One Piece, then he would write it himself.
With renewed determination, Kaito opened Webnovel and created a new book titled "One Piece." The title felt invigorating, a spark of hope igniting within him. For the cover, he used an AI tool to generate an image—a bright, colorful illustration of a straw hat resting on a treasure chest, waves crashing around it. It was everything he wanted it to be; he knew that his own drawing skills were pitiful, so this was the perfect solution.
"Yes! This is it!" Kaito exclaimed, excitement coursing through him as he saved the cover image and moved on to the next step. His fingers trembled with anticipation as he clicked "Add Chapter." The title of the first chapter leaped to life on the screen:
Chapter 1: I'm Luffy! The Man Who's Gonna Be King of the Pirates!
He could almost hear Luffy's enthusiastic voice echoing in his mind, so he began to write, channeling every ounce of his passion into the words:
Manga Event:
"Wealth, fame, power... The one who had it all was the King of the Pirates! Gold Roger.
My wealth and treasure? The One Piece? If you want it, you can have it! Find it! I left everything in that place!"
Suddenly, Luffy broke free from a barrel, his wide eyes filled with excitement.
"Where… am I?" he exclaimed, rubbing his head as he took in his surroundings.
"You're on a pirate ship!" Coby shouted, his face flushed with adrenaline. "But we need to escape from Alvida!"
"Escape?" Luffy grinned, his trademark smile lighting up his face like a sunrise. "I'm going to become the Pirate King! And you're coming with me!"
Kaito chuckled as he typed, envisioning the scene vividly. It was exactly how he remembered it—Luffy's unyielding confidence contrasting with Coby's hesitant demeanor.
"But Luffy, I'm just a cabin boy! I can't fight!" Coby stammered, looking nervously at the imposing figure of Alvida storming toward them.
"It doesn't matter!" Luffy declared boldly, spinning around to face Coby. "We'll find treasure and adventure together! Join me!"
Kaito couldn't help but feel invigorated by Luffy's words. He poured this energy into his writing, capturing the essence of their camaraderie.
As Alvida approached, her massive club swinging menacingly, Luffy stood defiant.
"Hey, you big bully!" Luffy shouted, pointing right at her. "You're not going to scare my friend!"
Alvida sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. "You think you can take me on, you little brat?"
"You bet I can!" Luffy replied, cracking his knuckles. "I'm gonna show you what a real pirate can do!"
Kaito typed furiously, heart racing as Luffy launched himself at Alvida with a powerful punch.
"Gomu Gomu no—Pistol!" Luffy yelled, his arm stretching impossibly long before connecting with Alvida's jaw.
"Ugh!" she gasped, falling back as Luffy landed triumphantly in front of Coby.
Kaito captured every detail of the fight, remembering the thrill he felt the first time he watched it unfold on screen. This was his chance to bring that excitement to life in his own way.
"Whoa! That was amazing!" Coby exclaimed, eyes wide with admiration. "You really knocked her out!"
"Of course I did! I'm going to be the Pirate King!" Luffy laughed, brushing off his hands as if it were nothing.
Kaito felt a sense of fulfillment wash over him as he crafted their banter. He was not just recreating a story; he was breathing new life into it, adding his own flair to the iconic moments that had shaped his love for One Piece.
He wrote until he felt the chapter was complete, capturing the humor, friendship, and adventure that defined the world he adored. With a final flourish, he typed the closing lines of the chapter and clicked "Upload," sending it out into the vast expanse of the web.
As he leaned back in his chair, Kaito couldn't help but smile. He had taken the first step toward creating a legacy, one that might inspire others just like One Piece had inspired him.
In this world where women ruled, he would carve out a space for his story—a story that would honor the spirit of adventure and daring dreams. And so began the journey of Kaito Ren, author of One Piece, as he embarked on the greatest story ever written by hs.
"[A/N: Ara ara... Author here! You're probably wondering why there are differences between the original One Piece and my version. Well, it's a fanfiction, after all! If I just copied the original work, I'm pretty sure Oda-sensei would be knocking on my door the next day! ;)]"
