《Gamer of the Blues》


 Chapter I: New Beginnings

    "Shit!" I yelled as I awoke. I opened my eyes, what I first saw was the blinding sun. The waves moving back and forth calmly at the shore. The scenery was relaxing, if not for my present predicament. I was lost.


    Sitting at the sand, I contemplated my sorry situation. "I don''t know where the fuck I am".


    "Oh man.. why do I feel like I lost weight?"


    What sick bastard would kidnap a guy and just leave him on a what seems to be a deserted island.


    "KuWOOOHHH!!!" a loud screech from what sounded like a bird


    "ROAAGGHHHRRRR!!!" That... doesn''t need any explaining.


    I blanched "So not a deserted island, though an island with god knows what dangerous animals are in it." I said facing the obviously virgin forest.


    It looks like I would die sooner than later eh. Well shiet.


    [DING!]

    A blue box appeared in front of me.


    Is this what I think it is?


    I tried to touch the box that looks too much like an AR panel in front of me.

    Welcome to the World of One Piece!


    You have died motherfucker, and from the goodness of my heart I have decided to bring you here to this world as your second chance at living your pathetic life.


    As a bonus, the power of The Gamer is yours to play with, albeit with a slight caveat. This version of The Gamer follows the rules of this reality as this power was given to you by us, not the planet itself. Due to that, and mana doesn''t really exist on this planet, it cannot be used here due to the collective will of this planet. So no reality warping abilities of mages and instant dungeons for you. I''d recommend you check the perks section though, H.E.A.V.E.N found a loophole somewhere and used that to create the gamer''s perks section.


    So there''s that. The mistake of you dying before your time on your past life should be compensated by now as H.E.A.V.E.N. does not like mistakes, perfectionist pricks. Try to enjoy your life this time. Ciao~~


    Disrepectfully yours,


    R.V.P.B.

    I stared at the blue box, making sure I reread that at least 3 times.


    "Fuck! My life got cut short!?? Damn. I hope Mom and Dad are fine... shit." I said to no one while rubbing my aching head.


    We were a standard nuclear family, fairly close, got into fights, you know, normal family stuff.


    "Damn, I never got to say goodbye."


    Tears started to form from my eyes.

    They''re fine, don''t worry about them you big crybaby. I left a letter for them hidden in your closet, I got my friend who manages a soap opera universe to write it. Fairly got close to crying when I read it too.


    Oh yeah, they had another child when you died. I hear it''s a he and he''s becoming quite the athlete, on the fastrack to the NBA, your parents were never prouder.

    My tears seemingly went back up to their tear ducts.


    "Those bastards..." I said as a vein appeared on my head


    I breathed "Hooo.... Inner peace... must find silver linings"


    One Piece eh?... No more being constrained by societal norms, being free as I want to be, doing whatever shit I want.


    I might even meet Luffy! Do I join his crew?... *Inner Fangirl Screming*


    What the hell am I thinking, I have the gamer power, I could pretty much do whatever the hell I want.


    I could even create my own crew, the question should be "should I shoot for the seat of the Pirate King?"


    I stood up, wiped off sand from my shorts. I didn''t have any footwear, I had only my now dirty white shirt and dirty black shorts on. Basic shit.


    "Time to grab this new life by the balls, kek"

    Okay, I still don''t know where I am, but since this is One Piece, and this might be a prehistoric island. With The Gamer power, I might just survive this. Granted, I don''t have the broken ability of creating Instant Dungeons, but I''ll make do with what I have.

    I changed my mnd, I''m gonna hate this.


    Moving on, I moved towards the forest, avoiding the pesky rocks and the thorny bushes. I spent half an hour walking, maybe this forest isn''t so dangerous after all...


    Madam Fate seemed to have heard me, because I believe I have spoken too soon.


    What greeted me shocked me to my core.


    It was a blue ape. As large as King Kong from the movies, he was feeding from a large bird.


    "Are those the ones I heard earlier?" I nearly pissed my shorts if not for the Gamer''s Mind doing its best to calm me.


    I hid at the nearby tree.


    An idea appeared on my mind, maybe Observe would work on this beast.

    As if hearing my thinking, the blue ape stopped his meal and gazed at my general direction. I quickly hid at the tree, making myself as small as possible.


    "Don''t come here... Don''t come here... Don''t come here..." I began reciting the mantra quietly.


    But life doesn''t really go according to the way you want it. The blue ape stood up.

    "GROAAAARRGGGHHHH!!"


    Another roar came from behind the ape.


    The beast in front of me pales. Like when "Usopp knows he fucked up" pales.


    Then suddenly a shadow appears over us both. Next thing I knew the beast in front of me loses his head.


    [DING]


    [DING]


    [DING]


    [DING]...


    Countless notifications rang at my head yet I disregarded them all. Focusing on the entity that saved me from certain death.


    As the beast that held me begin to drop, I stared at the being that ate the giant ape''s head. It was a giant tiger, at least twice as large than bootleg Kong.


    When the hand that held me dropped to the ground, I didn''t wait for the tiger to finish his meal, I started running again. Hoping that the beast won''t turn his attention on me, I didn''t look back.


    I ran until I cannot anymore. Only stopping when my legs were cramping.


    I hid at a nearby foliage, making sure that there was nothing that was chasing me.


    I was dead tired, my eyelids heavy yet pushed myself further, looking for a suitable hiding place. My heart was beating like crazy.


    There''s a small cave ahead, there were many notifications that rang, I didn''t pay attention to them, I only wanted to rest, and that cave seems to be it.


    When I reached the cave, I plopped down and not missing a minute, I was off to dreamland.


    <hr>


    When I opened my eyes, a blue box appeared in front of me.

    So that wasn''t a dream, thought it was. Damn.


    I sighed, complaining would not do any good, Still, I''m not really in a good position right now.


    There was a bell icon at the top right of my vision, and a number 85 inscripted on top of it. Not having anything better to do, I sat up and clicked the bell icon.

    Could it be?


    When I hit that infernal beast, I had contribution on its kill reward? But leveling up 81 times... How high leveled was that beast?

    Whoa... That''s a long ass list...


    It would take me some time to finish reading this.


    grumblleeee~~ a sound came from my stomach


    Oh dang, I''m hungry, I never really got something to eat after waking up here, but where should I get food?

 Chapter II: It was nice meating you

    "NGYEOOOWWW!!"


    A growl of what seemed to be a cat rang throughout my location. Taking my attention away from the screen in front of me, I looked towards the origin of the sound.


    It was a cub, a red tiger cub.


    ...


    Okay, it was huge ass red tiger cub, you know, like those cubs you see on National Geographic yet so much larger, like twice the size of a normal tiger large.


    "NGEEEEYEOOOWW!"


    Yep it''s a cub. It''s cries are too high pitched to be a full grown tiger.


    "Observe" I said silently

    Oh, so it''s level 113.


    ...


    .


    ..


    113!?


    A newborn has more levels than me!? And I thought I leveled up quite a lot!


    "NGYEOOOWWWWW!!" The cub pounced at me.


    "YIEEE!!"I cried as i tried to evade the oversized cat.


    Sidestepping quickly, I felt the cat''s paw still hitting my side.


    "ARGHH!!" I grimaced as I rolled away.


    [-1250 HP]


    "Damn! That''s a lot! I can''t imagine taking that strike head on..." I mutter quietly


    The ground the cub pounced on was destroyed on contact, with some debris flying to me.


    This is no time be idle, I might die here! I have to get away!


    I turned to the opposite direction quickly and I ran as fast as my legs could take me.


    While I ran, I felt my hunger take its toll on my body.


    "Damn, I still feel weak, I haven''t got anything to eat yet."


    I have to fight, that cat may be the only weak animal I can match up with. I guess this is bootleg ROB''s way of watching over me huh. Still, I''m hungry and I''m already doing my best to stay conscious.


    My stomach quickly agrees with my idiotic thought with a cramp.


    I grit my teeth, stopped running and faced the direction of that cat.

    A change happened quickly, my muscles became more defined and grew in size, and my previously flabby stomach became an eight pack!


    "Whaat?? I have toned biceps now" I look at my stomach " And visible abs!"


    An eight pack! Gym trainers hate this!


    Here''s hoping [Rejuvenation] is as useful as it sounds. It would suck if I get one shotted and nothing to regenerate with.


    "Rejuvenation" I mutter to myself.


    I felt the effects quickly, my strength increasing.

    There was no Ice, Magma, and Light Fruits, there were still good ones like Lightning and Fire. I browsed some more, there was no Sun Fruit. I guess that would be overkill, but in essence Lightning and Sun fruits should be the same as they are both plasma? I dunno.


    NGEEEEYEOOOWW!


    FOCUS! The food-- I mean cat is already there.


    I quckly selected the Goro Goro no Mi, the fruit manifested in front of me. It was a blue colored fruit and shaped like a ball? With bolt-shaped figures decorating its skin.


    Grabbing the fruit quickly, then taking a bite out the fruit was not exactly a pleasant experience. Forcing said unpleasant bolus down my throat more so. To put it into perspective, it was like taking a bite on a fruit that has a consistency of play-doh and tasted like boiled rotten egg.


    "BLEGH! PHEGHWW! PLEGH! UGH! My appetite''s gone now ugh, yuck."


    IINNNGGGGG! A shock went through my body, is this an aftereffect?


    I feel it.. the change going on in my body.


    ...


    NGEEEYEEOOOWWW!! The cat, clearly not waiting anymore pounced again on my dazed body.


    But instead of hitting my flesh, my body turned into lightning and evaded above the oversized cat.


    CRGHSHH! TRSKKGHHHH! sfx: lightning crackle


    "This is for scaring the shit out of me earlier you fuck!"


    "LIGHTNING FIST!" I shouted as I performed my attack.

    I ignored the notification and focused on the task.


    An enormous lightning projectile shot out of my hand directed downwards hitting the cat at point blank range.


    BADOOOOFFFHHHMMMMM!! CRSKKKHHH! A flash of light followed by a thunderous boom sounded in the forest.


    ...


    ....


    ..


    "Huff.. huff... I did it!" I said while catching my breath, landing at the now crater made from my attack.


    Unlike the last time, only 8 [You leveled up!] notifications appeared on my vision. Though one notification was different.


    [DING!]

    I really didn''t care for the full notification now, I''ll read it later.


    As the debris from the impact settled, I saw a crater with a smell of burnt bacon permeated in the air. Consecutively, a growl was heard from my gut.


    "I did that?" I looked at my hands, which was still crackling.


    "Ugh, really hungry now. Now where are you food. Lemme take a bite." I said as I went through the rocks.


    Finding the carcass from the rocks wasn''t hard. The carcass itself was quite light. I dragged it back to my cave and started preparing myself for a feast.


    ...


    What would I cook with anyway? I still haven''t made camp and even a fire to cook on.


    I dropped my kill and went towards a tree.


    Using my lightning powers, I formed a lightning blade with my hand and started hacking through the tree. It was easy enough, without accidentally setting it on fire.


    Dropping the logs I got to the ground, I dug a hole to put the logs in place.


    Using my hands, I set one of the logs at the bottom on fire.


    "Now I have camp" I said while smiling. Things were looking up.


    I went and cut branches from a tree nearby to set the carcass above the fire. Removing the animal''s skin, I started making sure that there was no contaminated part as I roasted the edible parts.


    <hr>


    Hoo~~ I''m stuffed.


    I was sitting on the ground, throwing a stick that I used to hold a piece of meat with.


    Patting my exposed belly. Going through all that really took out alot from me,

    So food also restores HP and SP huh? Neat.


    I noticed that my clothes were ragged dirty now, with tears everywhere. The largest damage was the cat''s pounce earlier, the whole right side of my shirt is torn off, showing off my nice bod.


    Damn, no homo, is it homo if I''m admiring my new body? Gahahah.


    Seriously though, I might be able to skin some animals for their hides.


    Placing my hand on the ground, I let my powers manifest.


    CRRKKKKKKSSS!


    Granules of metals, some even chunks, started floating towards my hand, forming a blob of metal. I used my powers to heat the metal, once the blob was already red hot, I manipulated the blob to elongate forming a metal rod.


    Heh.. looks like I can do some metal work with my powers. Living in this island became a bit easier now.
