As rex was walking on the sidewalk playing bubble blast playing bubble blast on his phone an rope holding an steel beam snapped from the strain as it fell bouncing off the structure of the building and impaling noah through the adomen leaving leaning as he died.
As he dropped his phone and slowly closed his eyes his soul found itself standing on a multiverse before him was some being made of galaxies and stars spoke codex:hello human welp i am codex the god of time and space frankly the other deities have been having fun watching human souls they've chosen rise and fall in different dimensions in worlds they sent them to so basically I'm not going to sugar coat it I'm just going to send you to a world for my entertainment.
Rex didn't really care as his life was just paying bills and working so this was an nice change rex spoke as he had one request rex:can it be the one piece universe!?. Rex had watch one piece from ep.1 to 1,137
Codex shrugged casually obliterated like universe through the simple gesture he saw no reason to deny Rex,s request as it was an extremely simple one he snapped his fingers as a red portal with a black swirl in the middle opened.
As it sucked him in and he was transported to the one piece universe as an baby in a bundle which confused him.

An boy with an white cape with an golden dragon in the middle was running through the Meadows his white hair and purple eyes staring into the midday sky this boy was none other than Drake formally rex after reincarnating his system hadn't activated so he decided to learn from his mother she had basic arts in martial arts so he was a bare knuckle fighter but he always wanted to use a sword and be like an anime swordsman someone who could cut somebody in half with just a single unsheathing and sheathing of their sword as the alarm bell rang Nadia immediately swooped him up and ran away back to their rundown cabin home as far as the pirates knew that place was abandoned.
As the pirates walked through the village holding out a potato sack as villagers dropped whatever valuables they had on them In the sack after going through the entire village excluding the abandoned house on the hill as they got back in their rowboats and went back the biggest island in the moonstone archipelago.
Drake was tired of hiding he hated that he was limited to playtime and ect. It sucked curious did the world of One Piece was not for the weak-hearted but still taking advantage of innocent people especially those with kids and those who can defend themselves what about the disabled this wasn't right not at all if only he was actually strong then maybe he could do something about it his dad was strong or so he has been told by his mother.
10 years later
Drake had just turned 15 and was starting deeply into an star fruit tree as one of them was half black half white with an blue star in the middle of it the moonstone archipelago legend around this fruit apparently when God's and demons roamed this world their clashes created this fruit of demonic and divine energy in the star in the middle was balanced between the two or so the elders say but drake knew better than that the fruit before him currently was clearly devil fruit.
Drake suddenly appeared next to the fruit on a tree branch and picked it before sliding back down the tree Nadia as the now only Royal member of the X. Clan was taught geppo and observation haki Nadia had taught Drake geppo so he wouldn't be so restless as drake grabbed the fruit he brought it home and placed it instead an old chest they found inside the abandoned home.
Nadia coughed extremely hard drake rushed over to tend to his mother drake:Mother are you ok? Here drink some water. Drake had found a small cup within the home as they mainly used it to catch rainwater when they would leak into the old house but they would also reuse it by purifying it when the sun came out turning it into drinking water.
As Nadia drank the water Drake made sure she was fine before taking an nap Nadia sighed her son knew the truth is so did she during the raid on both the D and X clans Nadia was shot by an poisoned tipped arrow with a poison that would slowly eat away at her internal organs and motor functions until she passed away and it was getting worse it was hard for her to breathe it was getting a little harder for her to walk as well Nadia had told her son Drake that she would eventually die from this and that he needed to be strong when it happened.
The next morning drake was crying his heart out as he sat next to his mother the poison had reached her vital organs such as heart within her dying moments she squeezed her on hand extremely hard and spoke Nadia:oh my sweet child remember that no matter what always protect the weak always defend those in need an righteous heart leads to the greatest of paths but a villain is heart only leads to destruction you will always be mama,s little boy no matter how old you get and no matter where I am.
Her grip loosened as her hand fell limp her body cold as stone drake wiped away his tears grab the match drug it against the wood of the house sliding it before tossing it into the rundown home and watched it burn he put his mother's crown under one of the only cherry trees on the island as he kept running through what his mother said before she passed and Drake thought of the one righteous thing he could do right now we went into town he remembered the pirates only got worse soon it was more than the gold and the treasures the villagers owned the woman as well ruthlessly raping without consent no matter how hard they begged.
Not only was it not fair to the women but also the children born from this due to their fathers being the ones that raped their mothers they didn't want their children as their mothers saw them as a product of vile doings but nonetheless their mothers took care of them as it would be wrong to destroy the chances of something so helpless such as an newborn.
As Drake entered the sword shop he slammed 12 berry on to the counter as he demanded from the old guy running the the shop filled with swords made of different types of material from steel to bronze to iron drake:give me an sword. The old man shook his head as he proceeded to explain why he could not give Drake a sword.
Old man:sorry kid I can't give you a sword the price for one of my basic swords is 24 berrys. Drake looked past the Old Man slightly to see an katana made of an Topaz and moissanite mixture both minerals were extremely rare therefore very hard to come by swords made from these materials especially a fusion of both minerals could cost up to 2,000 berries.
Drake slammed his hands on the table and spoke Drake:you giveaway swords to Killers for free did you can give me one you're the one paying half the price for it unlike everybody else I'm going to do something about this I'm going to stop you atrocities the evils the raids my mother told me the path of a righteous heart leads to greatness the path of the villainous heart leads eventual destruction if no one else will fight the atrocities that's happening then I'll be the one to stand up for it even if I die my Spirit to fight for what was right will rally those who actually have enough courage to face foes so in the future with the next generations look to the statues and the sky and asked who was I their parents will say he was a righteous pirate that's what I want to hear don't you want to hear that too?.
The old man couldn't respond he was too stunned by the absolutely brilliant speech after seeing the man not say anything for a while Drake decided he would fight bear-handed suddenly he heard the man shout old man:wait! Here. Drake turned around confused as the old man offered him a sword with an green sheathe it was the average katana are so Drake thought as the old man explained old man: this isn't just any old sword I forged it from all regular metals fused into one melted down mix from steel iron silver and even a bit of gold for flexibility it is my second greatest sword if you're going to die you're at least going to need a Fighting Chance so I'll give this to you for you're 12 berries.
Drake smile as he dropped the pouch of 12 gold coins into the hands of the man he took his sword and waited for the next tax collection for the next 25 minutes drake stood in the middle of the road practicing would a very little sword skills you could master in under that time they arrived 3 men with basic katanas made from simple iron with the same sack as they walked through the village no one was in their homes they were all hiding in the tavern peeking through the windows in the doors and watched as the pirates came face to face with drake.
Pirate 1:hey brat we are apart of the halbard pirates give us that sword and we will be on our way. They drew their weapons in anger only after Drake said one word drake:no. Just as they drew their swords drake drew his new sword as he challenged them to a duel the bigger pot belly pirate first he had an huge spiked mace as they stood apart from each other staring each other down as the potbelly halbard pirate stepped forward once.
Suddenly Drake was behind him with his sword barely unsheathed as drake sheathed it fully then came the clicking sound of the sword hilt hitting the sheath and suddenly the potbelly halberd pirate stomach split open a blade and raining shower of blood spewed from his stomach as you lost his pupils and hit the dirt dead.
His comrade another sword user was so scared that he ran away as soon as friend was about to fall to go report to their captain townspeople came out and started cheering on Drake's name they were so overjoyed that the bartender at the canteen announced free drinks only for today immediately the alcoholics and everyone rushed into party drink only had three cups of apple juice and one cup of orange juice before returning up the mountain as he felt as if his power wasn't sufficient enough.
Yes swordsman were strong in the one piece world but still he felt like he needed something that would make him stronger suddenly he remembered as he grabbed an old shovel and started digging right under the house that he had burned has he stopped digging after a couple of minutes he pulled out an old chest and opened it and it was revealed to be the devil from he never ate.
And there was a reason for that he didn't know what you would get if he ate it first he would lose his power to swim and second of all there were a lot of useless devil fruits out there and plus if he ate it now he would only be able to use one or two powers luffy ate his 7 years old and was only about to venture out to the Sea when he turns 16 so in total it took the main character the series 9 years to master his fruit and an extra two to obtain all variants of gear 4 and gear five 5.
But he had no other choice sword skills would only get him so far as he picked up the fruit in a bit into it it tasted awful like eating someone else's throw up but he scarfed it down nonetheless taking multiple bites even though he only needed the one bite suddenly the thing he'd been waiting for 15 years finally awakened.
As an system screen appeared before him system: Name:Drake D. Wyrmroost
Clan:D./X.
Skills:basic one sword style
D.F:void void no mi:god fruit
D.F type:special paramecia
D.F abilities:
Void step:step at light speed through the void when stepping through the void in an enemy's direction hit them multiple times without being seen. (Due to how overpowered this fruit is you don't have to unlock all the other abilities on your own)>
For 15 years his system finally awakened and by the hidden message at the end of seeing his fruit ability he could only assume that it was the Spirit of the devil fruit limiting him until it felt like he was ready to obtain new abilities or the situation required him to obtain one.
Meanwhile the halberd pirate that ran away reported to his boss an burly bulky man with blonde hair this was captain bard he slammed his fist together in irritation that someone dared to defy him and his crew immediately he sent 20 of his men to destroy the village while leaving the remaining 47 here to guard him in case just in case the 20 pirates he sent failed.
Drake tried out his void step as he was thrusted forward into an literal space-time he could see other planets galaxies even black holes and suddenly ahead of him was a portal which brought him back down to earth 10 meters into the forest barely just barely about to hit a tree drink determined that his void step would launch him forward through space-time for a couple of seconds allowing him to travel farther than he could jump.
Drake now understood why it was called a god fruit I mean he already had to understanding as after eating the fruit he could understand everything about it apparently it let him manipulate space-time and dark matter which is basically void energy this fruit was so destructive no wonder Spirit of the devil fruit limited him it was to strong just to be giving all of its abilities you had to earn them.
He decided to practice his sword skills while he had time to kill after 15 minutes he got the proper way to swing down and the proper way to parry as well he went back into the village to wait as no doubtedly that Bard would have sent more pirates after that little rebellion and soon enough he did about 2 minutes later 10 robots roll up to the shore of moonstone village as they draw their Cutlasses Maces and flintlocks.
And soon the fight begins as one of them draws their flintlock trigger in retaliation Drake used his voice step shooting forward through space-time for 10 m as he was flying through space-time using voidstep he drew his katana and thrusted it outward just as he crossed through the portal back to the one piece world his katana had stabbed the flintlock user who's behind his fellow pirates in the chest causing him to drop his flintlock just as it hit the ground it fired shooting one of his comrades in the Achilles heel.
As they turned around to look at the traitor they saw their friend with a katana in his chest and watched as he hit the dirt immediately 2 pirates with cutlasses ran at him and jumped in the air with amazing reaction time Drake lifted his sword up putting his other arm into the tip of the sword blocking the attack.
Before pushing all of his muscle strength upward thrusting the pirates off balance while they were still in the air as drake channeled some power into his katana and spoke Drake:[one sword style:lion claw strike]. He leaped into the air and slashed both of the pirates.
Across their chest slicing slightly through their livers causing internal bleeding as they fell out of their air drake then began to cut through each and every pirate like butter and One by One they fell until none were left standing and so Drake was declared the winner Drake realized if this tyranny was going to stop he had to kill the source directly as he got into one of the rowboats and rowed to the biggest island in the moonstone archipelago.
15 minutes later
An barely alive pirate bursted through bard,s door with his last breath was about to tell bard that drink was here until a katana bursting through the pirate's heart as the katana retracted the pirate felt dead the killer was Drake he swiped his sword to the side wiping the blood of the pirate off of his sword bard couldn't believe it his entire crew slaughtered by some brat.
Bard got up and Drew his swords as the two of them started clashing Sparks flying but bard was significantly better than Drake I tried his best to Parry bard powerful strikes but got small gashes and one cut on his chest as the fight drug on drake wished that bard would just fall he was way more damage to than Drake was as due to Drake's smaller size and better speed he was able to get major hits in but bard durability was out of this world.
And suddenly like a genie granting someone's wish an green and black aura bursted from drake who looked confused until bard eyes went white before hitting the ground Drake a knew he could have killed him because he was still standing before until his system appeared and he figured out the reason why Bard fell system: Drake understood he was a part of the D. Clan so therefore he had a higher chance to obtain conquerors Haki than any other race or clan every those born with D or X in their name had an 35% greater chance than any other Clan or family to obtain conquerors haki which was part of the reason both clans were so fiercely feared for their pure haki advantage putting that aside with the main threat to the moonstone archipelago gone Drake decided news about time just started his Pirate adventures.
Mainly because he had one goal in mind revive the D. And X. Clan to it's glory and challenge the world government just like Joy boy did greatest adventure was about to begin.
