"Darkness surrounds me from every side, a strange feeling overcomes me despite my eyes being open, yet I see nothing. I'm definitely not in a hospital, the feeling is more like floating in a void. Oh God... where am I? The last thing I remember is that little girl who was about to be hit by the car, I rushed to save her... I pushed her away from it. Am I dead? At least the girl is okay. Where exactly am I? Am I in hell or... Suddenly, a bright light emanated from a figure who looked like an angel. With his wings and the power of the light that made me unable to see his form clearly, then a beautiful voice echoed in my ears, its tones soothing my troubled soul and giving me an overwhelming feeling of serenity and comfort. "Oh human, in exchange for your sacrifice, I will grant you another chance. Do you want to reincarnate in your world or another world?" "Really? Can I choose any world?" "Yes." "Then I choose the world of One Piece." "Since you have chosen your new world, is there a specific reward you would like to receive?" I thought deeply about the angel's question. I know everything about this world, even the latest chapter in the manga. I know the power of the coming monsters, and I know the alliances that will form. My goal is not to become a follower of anyone, but to be a powerful leader. Should I ask to be reborn as a child? No. Should I ask to be the strongest or to be in the body of the strongest characters! No. I want to enjoy the world, but not to the extent of being reborn, that will take a long time to achieve what I want. What do I really want in this world? Initially, the idea of becoming the vice-captain of the Straw Hat crew crossed my mind, but I don't want to be a follower, I want to form my own crew. Then I thought of a crazy idea. There is no crew as strong and worthy as theirs. I decided, I will recruit Luffy's crew before him, their loyalty is strong and I know all the events of the story to the end. There is a possibility of changing future events, but that will be in exchange for me being the captain of my crew. I will be even stronger than the protagonist. But how will I become strong quickly? I am not like the monsters like Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji. I suddenly smiled when I remembered a system I read in one of the mangas. The Talent Copying System. That would be perfect. I looked at the angel seriously. I will recruit the strongest allies, even if they will become the Straw Hat Pirates later. The Talent Copying System is the key to my strength. I looked at the angel seriously. "Yes, there is something I want. I want to be one week before the start of the main story. I want to be in Shell Town, and I'm seventeen years old, and I belong to the D clan, and I was raised in an orphanage and only know my name. When I was left, there was a paper with the name Lucifer D. Diablo written on it. And I also want the Talent Copying System exactly as in the manga 'All Talents of Soccer are Mine'." "So be it as you wish." Then his hand extended towards me, and I felt a warm energy flowing through my body before a blinding light engulfed me. I woke up to the sound of unfamiliar hustle and bustle. I opened my eyes heavily, to find myself lying on a worn wooden pier, surrounded by boxes and fishing nets. The sun was almost in the middle of the sky, and its heat was scorching my face. I stood up slowly, my body a little stiff but free from any real pain. "Shell Town!" I whispered to myself as I realized that I was really here a week before Luffy met Zoro. I must seize the time to recruit the crew before Luffy arrives, he has great luck. From now on, my name is Lucifer D. Diablo. I found a mirror outside a shop. Then I went to see my appearance. I am at least 178 cm tall, with white skin, a handsome face, and long, jet-black hair that falls over my shoulders like the shadow of the dark night, and red eyes that glow with a faint sparkle, like two embers burning in the darkness, and my body is muscular and my build is strong. I am wearing a black leather coat, an open white shirt that shows my muscular body, black trousers, and black shoes. Then I whispered to myself, "Oh God, I'm really handsome!" Then I whispered, "Status." A semi-transparent interface appeared in front of me, floating in my field of vision like a holographic screen with the words: Talent Copying System.
The End
