A.N: I'm going to yap for a bit, so bear it with me. I had this idea for a long time, with Yuji Itadori or Yuji SI in One Piece world. With JJK Modulo over and all the Wuji Himtadori's hype with him being new strongest and surpassing both Gojo and Sukuna, I thought- why not implement it into the all-new story. So, here it is, a story for my fellow Yuji glazers.
This first chapter was written way back in September 2025, that is why you may find few out of line elements here and there. English is not my first language, but I still have a good grasp over it. I write all my chapters by myself. I take different types of writing elements and blend it into my story, trying my best to make this story immersive and good. There were many grammatical errors in my writings, SO… only for that particular section I use A.I to correct it. Other than that, I didn't let A.I tinker with my writings and storytelling or any of those things. I then proofread it multiple times to recheck everything and IF by any chance I found any A.I related wordings, I remove that part and then correct it. If any of you by any chance still finds anything wrong or A.I like wordings by your perspective, then please do comment on that paragraph. I had already learnt my lesson from my previous work, that A.I kills the story and make it sloppy and sketchy. But please do not spam 'A.I' at everything.
Now the important part, I am going to implement some of the live-action elements into the story too. Mixing some parts of manga and live-action together, I will try to deliver a good story for all of you. And now the second part— how would you like to take the casting? Original manga version or new live-action version? Because truth to be told, I myself wants to add some live-action casting into the story but I also know that many of you will want me to stick with the original.
So, here is the vote—
Luffy—
(Manga)
(Live-action)
Nami—
(Manga)
(Live-action)
Zoro—
(Manga)
(Live-action)
Ussop—
(Manga)
(Live-action)
Sanji—
(Manga)
(Live-action)
Robin—
(Manga)
(Live-action)
Note— The time of transmigration will be according to the first chapter, i.e., it was September 2025, and mc has no knowledge of season two casting for live-action or how it was done.
Okay, enough yapping, let's get started…
Attendance please—

First-Person POV
A groan escaped my throat as I collapsed into the chair, my body a single, protesting ache. "Man, I'm wiped." I stretched my legs out under the desk, joints popping, and let out a sigh that seemed to come from my bones.
Thud.
"Ugh—" My friend dropped into the seat beside me, his bag hitting the desk like a sack of bricks. The smell of formalin clung to him, just as it did to me. "I swear, the staff here are unbelievable," he groaned, twisting until his spine cracked like walnuts.
"Four hours...four hours standing in that lab without a single stool. And that fan, that one sad, whirring fan right above the teacher's desk, blowing his papers around while the rest of us slowly baked."
A dry chuckle escaped me. I folded my arms on the cool laminate surface and rested my head. "What did you expect? Air conditioning and padded chairs? This is a community college, not some tech campus. Honestly, the fact that they let us eat chips in the back is a miracle." I met his eyes. "Teachers here are much more laid-back than most."
A look passed between us; a silent understanding forged through shared hardship. We laughed, and for a moment, the exhaustion lifted.
When the fifteen-minute break ended, we trudged back into the lab's sterile light for the final practical. I found my spot, marked by a peeling sticker with my roll number. On the vast blackboard, the list of experiments stared back at me. My eyes found mine. 'At least this one looks easier than the last,' I hummed to myself, the tune meaningless, just a way to fill the quiet.
Two grueling hours later, it was over. I packed my tools slowly, my mind already drifting toward the empty weekend ahead. That same off-key hum returned to my lips.
"Hey, Nilu."
My friend appeared at my elbow, his bag zipped and ready. "Exams are finally over and done with. Want to catch the new Demon Slayer movie? I'll book tickets for Sunday evening."
"Yeah, sure," I said.
The city at evening was quite busy. After dropping him off, I was alone on my bike, the engine's purr my only companion. The usual noise of traffic had faded to a murmur.
At a wide intersection, I slowed to a stop, my eyes fixed on the red light ahead. I waited. The cross street was empty. I waited longer. A cold, sharp prickle traced down my spine. The digital countdown was frozen; its red numbers were stuck at 02.
Not a single car passed in any direction. There were no distant honks, no sounds from any direction, only an absolute, engulfing silence pressing down.
"What the hell...?"
My gut clenched. I had read enough stories to recognize when a scene glitched, when something was deeply wrong. Instinct took over. I revved the bike, the sound violently loud in the quiet, and eased it forward across the deserted junction.
I had barely traveled a hundred meters, just enough for the frozen traffic light to vanish from my mirror, when the world dissolved.
The light was bright, like a presence, searing and silent, that swallowed everything. It was the very essence of whiteness, erasing shape, color, and thought. There was no time to curse, no final revelation. My consciousness was simply erased. One moment I was there, and then, as gently as a page turning, I was gone.
End POV.

ONE PIECE WORLD, SEA CALENDAR 1522, EAST BLUE, ORCHIDS ISLAND
Orchids Island truly lived up to its name. It didn't just grow flowers; it embodied them. A tapestry of vibrant purples, fiery reds, and delicate whites blanketed every slope, spilled from every windowsill, and filled the air with a sweet, heavy fragrance. The island's lifeblood was its blooms—distilled into precious scents for the wealthy, woven into garlands, and loaded onto trading ships that departed monthly for ports across the East Blue.
But such beauty was a beacon. Greed, worn in the polished boots of merchants and the tattered shoes of pirates, had long washed up on its shores. Monopolies were attempted; raids were launched. All failed. The island's protection came from a modest Marine base, its presence quietly established long ago by the legendary Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, who was said to have once enjoyed a particularly fine orchid sake here.
In the island's small hospital, the scent of antiseptic could not fully mask the subtle sweetness of flowers. Yuji Itadori, a twenty-four-year-old man whose broad shoulders gently strained the seams of his simple shirt, walked steadily down the hall. He pushed open a familiar door and sighed—a sound of fond exasperation.
On the bed, an old man with a face like a wise, weathered apple grinned mischievously at a flustered nurse adjusting his I.V. line. At the sight of Yuji, the old man's eyes lit up.
"Yo, kid! Took you long enough. Do you have any idea how bored I've been? They won't even let me have the good juice!"
Yuji pinched the bridge of his nose. The nurse, a young woman named Lily, flushed a shade that rivaled the island's red orchids as she sneaked a glance at him. He offered her a small, polite nod.
"Thanks for looking after him, Lily. I'll call if we need anything."
She hurried out, and Yuji turned to find his grandfather, Wasuke, wearing a smirk that was overly self-satisfied.
"Stop it. You look creepy," Yuji muttered, though the affection in his tone was evident.
Wasuke's laugh was raspy and genuine. He waved a gnarled hand. "Come here, you ingrate. Let me look at you."
With a softer sigh, Yuji dragged a stool over and sat down.
Wasuke's smirk softened into something genuine and tender. "You're twenty-four, kid. Shouldn't you be finding a nice girl? Settling down? That nurse, Lily—sweet girl. You can't hide her eyes; they follow you, you know."
Yuji's gaze dropped to his own hands, which could bend steel but now felt strangely helpless. "Marriage… it's not that simple, Gramps. You know why."
The warmth in Wasuke's eyes dimmed, clouded by a shared, unspoken history. "Yeah… that." The word hung between them like a monument to unanswered questions.
The silence stretched on, until Yuji broke it. "So, why the urgent message? You said it was important."
Wasuke straightened up, the mischief fading and replaced by a sharp, serious focus. "It's about your parents—"
"Don't." The word came out sharper than Yuji intended. He stood abruptly, turning to the window where the eternal orchids swayed beneath a blue sky. "Just stop. Whether they chose to leave me or fate took them… it doesn't matter anymore. It never did. You are my family. You were enough."
Wasuke's sigh seemed to carry the weight of the sea. He studied his grandson's broad back and the set of shoulders that bore the strength of the world and a heart of unyielding kindness.
"Yuji… listen to me now. You're strong—a freak of nature, honestly." A weak but proud smile touched his lips. "But more than that, you're a good man. Use that strength to help people. Not everyone, and not blindly—just when you can. Don't do it for status or thanks. Do it because it's right. That's all."
Yuji didn't turn around, but he bowed his head slightly, listening intently and committing every raspy word to memory.
"I'm not asking you to put on a Marine coat," Wasuke continued, his voice growing softer, a threadbare whisper. "That's your path to choose. Whatever you do, wherever this crazy world takes you… you'll always be my grandson. My only wish is that when your time comes, you're surrounded by people who love you, just as I do now." He paused, drawing a shallow breath. "Other than that… live, Yuji. Live fully. That's the only revenge you ever need against a cruel world."
The words, simple and profound bypassed all of Yuji's defenses and settled deep within his core. He squeezed his eyes shut. A single, hot tear traced down his cheek as, with his preternaturally sharp senses, he heard it—the faint, steady heartbeat he had known since infancy, slowing like a tide receding… and gently stopping.
When he turned, the room was silent. Wasuke Itadori lay peacefully, a faint trace of his final proud smile lingering on his face. He had passed not only in peace but also in the presence of his entire world.
The funeral was a quiet, simple affair. Neighbors, friends from the florist guild, and the old fishermen came, offered their condolences, and drifted away like petals on a breeze. Soon, Yuji stood alone before the fresh mound of earth, the wind singing through the grass and carrying the eternal scent of orchids.
Nilesh. The name emerged from the depths, a relic from of life that felt like a dream. There had been no warning, no orderly system, no bargaining with a god. One reality had been exchanged for another.
And yet, he was no ordinary boy. Born into this world, his body had developed under its strange laws, harboring a latent, monstrous physicality. Fate, however, had a layered sense of irony. He wasn't just strong; he was Yuji Itadori, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, fused at the soul. His body rivaled the likes of Toji Fushiguro; his potential was a terrifying blend of Yuji's vitality and the grim, dormant legacy of Sukuna. He was a walking paradox, a being that should not exist.
He tilted his head back, staring at the endless sky. Twenty-four in body, but inside, the sum was forty-five—twenty-one years of mundane memories from his previous world, and twenty-four years of growing up loved yet lonely on an island of flowers.
Now, his anchor was gone. His parents remained phantoms. He prayed with a force, that there was no Kenjaku in this world. That particular horror was a narrative thread he desperately hoped this universe had not woven.
Regarding his strength, he was confident that no one in the peaceful East Blue could possibly push him to his limit.
"I'll leave tomorrow," he whispered to the soil and the stone, a promise and a farewell.
THE NEXT DAY
The world remained dark, holding its breath before dawn. Yuji shouldered a single, heavy backpack. Slung across his back was a worn but well-cared-for guitar, its wood smooth from years of use. There was no one to inform, no notes to write.
By four in the morning, he reached a secluded part of the dock where a small, sturdy fishing boat with peeling paint awaited him. He had prepared it days earlier. He untied the lines, loaded his belongings, and pushed off, the oars dipping into the black, reflective water with silent, powerful strokes.
Orchids Island, a silhouette of fragrance and memory, receded against the lightening horizon. He raised two fingers to his brow in a final, solemn salute.
"Goodbye, Gramps."
And with that, the island of flowers vanished. Ahead stretched only the endless, waiting sea.
