What a Rough Start.

DEATH.

A concept that has been in the mind of every sentient living being at least once throughout their lives. Many believe that the moment for their deaths will come eventually, they will die without regrets, while others spend their entire life trying to achieve something meaningful, so that their name lives forever.

In the end, none of that matters to me. Why you ask? Because I'm dying. A freaking asshat didn't load a metal pipe properly, it slipped and headshot me.

Can't say that I'll miss this life, I was born an orphan and never made any friends, the only jolt of joy I ever had were those characters from the mangas.

The way how most of them never gave up was really inspiring for me. There were times that I just wanted this life to end, and either I was too afraid to commit the deed or I found an excuse to not do it.

I wanted to LIVE! Regardless as how hard Life came to me, I always found an excuse to remain alive. I'm not particularly proud about my cowardliness, but it was better than anything, I guess.

As to where am I? I'm currently in a null void with nothing in here, I assume it's some kind of lobby for the higher being that controls our lives to decide whether we go to heaven or hell.

'I owe all those religious guys I turned down in the past for claiming that GOD isn't real.'

As I was having those thoughts, a big shine of light appeared before me and a guy? I guess, in a white robe speaks to me.

"Welcome human, I'm the one you refer as GOD." Wexof spoke.

"Cool, look I never prayed to you so, just send me to hell and let's get this over with."

"Whoa, whoa, easy there, pal. Hell is not a place for people like you." Wexof takes out a list.

"Your name is Akira Amado, 55 years-old, died from craniocerebral trauma due to penetrating wound, single, owned 3 parrots throughout your life and had no friends nor lovers." Wexof.

"I don't know why the last part was necessary but yeah, that's about it." Amado.

"Well, here's your deal, I am the GOD that not only transcends life and death, but also universes. Now, there's this certain universe where I want to send you." Wexof.

"Which universe?" Amado.

"A classic MHA one." Wexof.

"You know that I have kind of a problem with the whole deal of keeping myself…alive, right?" Amado.

"Wow, you're the first person to reject the reincarnation offer." Wexof.

"Don't care, I just want to be a lifeless soul or whatever that works here." Amado.

"Woah, I knew you had a shitty past. Tell you what, I'll put your soul inside a new body and you'll forget most your past life and everything else, how about it?" Wexof.

"You are the omnipotent GOD here; how could I reject?" Amado.

"Wait a second there, I never, NEVER force this unto anyone, either you want it or not." Wexof.

"In that case I… "

"TOO LATE!!!" Wexof summoned a portal and transported Amado to his new reality.

"WAIT! WAIT! AT LEAST KEEP THE PROCESS OF LEARNING HAKI IN MY MIND!!!" Amado.

"I'm sure you'll manage, good luck!" Wexof.

Amado felt his consciousness fade and reincarnated into his new world.

"Thank you Amado-kun, I now have another series to watch." Wexof spawned his usual "mess" and sit on a puff with popcorn, watching Amado waking up.

Amado woke up un the body of an infant, barely 5-years old and was inside a van all tied up.

Memories that led him there sprouted as now he understands his situation. Apparently, his parents were addicts to gamble and alcohol, they were out of money and indebted to the neck until they decided to sell their own son to some mischievous organization.

The kid remained quiet the whole road until they arrived at a dock.

"You, get inside now!" Thug.

The kid kept walking as they ordered him and entered a big cargo ship. He sits around other kids that began to cry.

'What's going on in here? I thought that I was sold to a circus, not some prison. And how do I know the meaning of those places?' The kid wondered.

He inherited some memories from Amado, mostly common knowledge and perceptiveness for him to not be that clueless. He's still a little lost though.

'Whatever, I'll focus on that later.'

The kid, alongside the other children, arrive at a big island. The island had big walls made out of steel, soldiers with weapons patrolling the facility. The kid didn't know what to expect but he instinctively knew that being locked up in a place was horrible for him.

He arrived and was given a set of clothes for him to wear, the dressing was of a white shirt and pants with numbers in its left side of the chest and their name in the right side.

"Monkey D Luffy?" The kid, now referred to as Luffy, wondered.

"Piss off kid! Don't blame us that your parents gave you such a shitty name." A guard spoke.

Luffy didn't seemed to care and changed his clothes immediately without a care, he was scolded by the guards and they took him to a room with other kids.

He saw many children of all shapes and sizes, some had scales, others tails, but the ones that caught his attention were: A boy with an orange hat creating flames in his hand and was also with another kid with the same abilities, only that he was using a top-hat and was blonde, a green haired boy that was sleeping while hugging a sword, an orange haired girl with a weird birthmark on her right arm.

A long-nosed kid with some scope lens, a blonde young kid with swirly eyebrows, a blue-haired girl with a small duck by her side, a reindeer with his blue nose, a black-haired girl that made eye contact with him with her blue eyes, a girl that has her hair divided in half white and half red.

A kid wearing his pants but that for some reason were ripped apart and looked like shorts, a slender kid with an afro, a blue-skinned kid, a girl that looked like a rabbit, two kids that were snuggling one with the other, the boy has purple hair and wears a mask and the girl also wears a mask and has blue hair, a girl with long black hair and snake earrings, a kid with magenta hair wearing a scarf to cover his nose and mouth a kid with a green mowhawk and a girl with white hair and light blue tips.

'So weird, why do I have a sense of familiarity with those guys?' Luffy thought.

Luffy then wandered around the area and tried to play with other children, but they were either too scared or uninterest to talk to him so, he sat on the floor and waited for something to happen.

Eventually, all the kids arrived at the room, and from a wall, a monitor appeared and turned on. The monitor showed an old man with glasses, he began to talk.

"Welcome children, the reason why you're here is because you got sold by very accessible prices and will now be of use to us as guinea pigs." The man spoke.

"I'll keep the rules simple; you try to escape, you die, you disobey, you die, you don't complete your "tests", you die. Any question?" The man made a sadistic smile.

Luffy raise his hand and eagerly hopped.

"Yes, you, what's the matter?"

"When will we eat?" Luffy asked.

'Why did I ask that? It felt so natural to ask it though.'

Everyone stared at him with a blank exception but the man answered.

"As long as you survive, you'll be rewarded with a variety of prizes and accommodations." The man.

"I see." Luffy punched his palm with his fist.

"Without further ado…enter the following room one by one for your first set of tests, good luck…you're gonna need it." The man spoke and the monitor shut down.

Some thugs called the kids, one by one they entered the room. Some returned with injuries and some…never did.

Eventually, it was Luffy's turn.

Luffy entered the room curious about what everyone experienced inside. The room was filled with hangry wild animals.

Luffy begins to run around the animals and doesn't want to hurt them but he knows that they won't stop until he gets bitten to bits. Luffy stretches both of his arms and punches the animals.

The animals start biting him but Luffy retaliates with headbutts and kicks. Luffy then gathers the animals in a single pile and begins to unleash a barrage of fists.

[Gomu-Gomu No: Gatling Gun!]

The barrage of fists completely destroys the wild animals and Luffy is now tired.

'How is this body so strong?! I'm just 5-years old! And why did my body moved like that? I've never fought before!' Luffy thought as he saw the door opening and left.

When Wexof "erased" Luffy's memories before reincarnating, he only erased certain fractions of knowledge about himself as Amado, and the story about One Piece, the MHA knowledge was completely erased. Due to these circumstances, Luffy's movements adapted to what Amado remembers about watching One Piece, and of course, some common knowledge.

Luffy sat on the floor but was immediately taken by some grunts into some type of cell. The cell was quite small and only had a bed with no pillows, a sink and a toilet.

Sleeping in the bed was the green-haired kid with the sword. Luffy got near him to wake him up but the greenette woke up and put his sword near Luffy's neck.

"Don't get near me." The kid threatened.

Luffy, instead of being scared was actually impressed by the kid's agility.

"WOW!!! How did you do that?! Is this a real sword?! Who are you?!" Luffy.

The kid was taken aback and took some steps back while Luffy looked at him with stars in his eyes.

"Shut up and let me sleep." The kid spoke as he ignored Luffy's comments.

Luffy didn't dwelled on the matter and started to talk through the cell, wondering if anyone could listen to him. He spent the rest of the evening talking through the cell and eating his food when it arrives.

Luffy eventually felt his body getting tired and tried to get in the bed but the kid kicked him down from it, Luffy didn't made a fuss about it and slept besides the bed.

The next morning.

Luffy and the greenette were released in what looked like a field, the only difference was that there were various obstacles in them. One of the thugs took a speaker and dictated the orders.

"Listen up maggots! For today, you'll be verse in a series of obstacle courses to see how much you can handle, your objective is to survive as many waves as you can. Get eliminated before the 5th wave, you get punished, you get to the 15th wave or beyond, we may…give you a small reward." Thug.

One after another, the kids began surpassing the waves, every time one was about to fail, Luffy helped them to keep pushing forward, he didn't know why he did it, but he didn't dislike the feeling.

Unfortunately for him, from the 4th wave onward the kids weren't strong enough to keep up the pace and failed the challenge. Luffy couldn't help but to have a sour taste in his mouth after being unable of doing anything, since he was getting tired as well.

In the end, only Luffy, the other 20 kids that caught his attention and some other kids were the only ones that managed to reach the 15th wave, ensuring their reward and survival. The thugs said that they had 10 minutes to take a break before passing unto the harsher challenges.

"Yo! I'm Luffy, Nice to meet all of you!" Luffy spoke in his friendly manner.

All of the kids ignored him, which made Luffy sad until he went towards the greenette and forced him to play with him.

'He's a pain in the ass.' Thought the kids when they saw Luffy harassing the greenette.
