°Helper feature is simple, if you played any game before then you'll catch on pretty quick, there are only 2 features, a shop and an inventory.°
°The shop is where you can buy almost anything, it uses Japanese currency which is Yen.°
°The inventory is where you can store all of your belongings, the capacity is unlimited, the only restriction is you can't store living beings inside the inventory.°
°To access the features and communicate with me you just have to send commands or talk by thinking inside your head.°
°Also you can ask any help from the helper obviously, range from the simplest thing of calculation to almost anything.°
'Well, that's convenient, say, what would you suggest I should do right now?'
°I would say you should check your inventory first, the creator had gifts to start off your journey.°
'How do I do this again? Open inventory?'
'Woah, that's nice.'
A blue screen like before appeared with rows of empty boxes in it, on the first row there's a box wrapped just like a gift that the helper told him, exploring the inventory first before checking what was inside the box, he noticed that on the bottom right corner of the inventory there's a symbol of Yen currency showing that he had zero money right now, on the left bottom corner written a word that said 'exchange' that he assumed to exchange the current world money into Yen.
Tapping the gift box to retrieve it from the inventory, a circle like portal appeared in front of him with the flat side facing down dropping the box.
"Heey, what if whatever inside is fragile?"
Koujiro complained like an old man he is.
°You can alter the portal position by just thinking about it, and also you just have to think about taking out the box instead of tapping the interface, that will make you less like a weirdo if there are people around°
"Got it chief."
Koujiro opened the box and found his stuff inside the box.
"What the fuck? These are all my shits, gifts my ass, the box is cool tho, the small box can fit so much stuff."
Pulling out everything inside the box he laid down all the stuff that he got from the box.
"Hmm, at least the old man put some packs of cigarettes in it, what do we get here. Pair of pants, some shirts, pair of boots, thank god they are boots so that it can last longer than the normal shoes, ooh lookie here, my dear Chokutō is here to cut some heads hehehe, and a Wakizashi for utility might do."
Koujiro sorted out his belongings and put back all his stuff inside leaving a pack of cigarettes, pulling one out and putting it on his lips he realized that he didn't have a lighter.
"Fuck!!! The old man must do this on purpose, giving me cigarettes without a lighter, fuck sake man, hey helper, you there?"
°Yes, I assume you want a lighter from me?°
"Duh yeah, you got one?"
°It's available in the shop though°
"You know I don't have any money right? Can I pay for it later? Pleaseee."
°Can't do Arima-san, the shop function just like a vending machine, you should know how it works.°
"Can I sell one of my shirts? It's an expensive shits you know."
°We don't have that feature yet Arima-san, maybe the creator will add it in the future.°
"FUCK YOU OLD MAAAAN!!!"
Koujiro shoved two middle fingers to the sky, a moment later a lightning struck a nearby tree burning it down.
"Well, that will do, much appreciated old man, next time just drop some cash or a lighter."
In the sky, the clouds moved forming some words that said, 'fuck off brat'.
"Heh, have fun watching me drink my ass off, old man."
Lighting up his cigarette, he picked up a piece of wood to make a torch to light his cigarette for later, pulling out his shirt from the inventory and wrapping it on top of the wood and pouring a little bit of sake on top he lit up the makeshift torch.
"Aah that's nice, a crate full of sake on a nice white sand beach, life never been better."
Even though the day was still bright he kept drinking like an alcoholic he is.
Few hours and a crate of sake later, the sun was going down, and Koujiro was lying on his back watching the sunset.
"Urgh, what a nice sunset, just lack a girl to bang though hehehe, just you wait old man, I'm gonna fuck the first hot woman I see."
After the sun disappeared on the horizon, he undressed and began swimming naked just because he could.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Three kids were chasing a rabbit inside the forest when suddenly they heard a thunderous sound not far from them.
"Ace, Sabo, do you guys hear that?"
Said the kid wearing a straw hat
"Yeah, it sounds like a thunder strike that way."
The boy named Ace pointed in a direction that led to a beach.
"Want to take a look?"
The first boy asks his two friends.
"I don't know Luffy, whatever it is might be dangerous, the sky is clear with no clouds at all. It's either strong people or very powerful beasts are fighting to make a sound like that."
The other boy named Sabo told them not to go there.
"Come on Sabo, are you scared? We could just take a look and we will immediately get back if it's dangerous, what do you say Ace?"
The boys looked at each other waiting for Ace who seemed the oldest of the three.
"Well, we could go and take a look real quick, it's still bright, we'll make it back before it gets dark, follow me I'll lead, you stay in the middle Luffy, Sabo watches our back."
The two boys nodded and followed along. After a few hours of walking toward the sound they heard, they reached the edge of the forest and found a man lying down on his back with some crates that look like sake that Dadan used to drink lying around the beach.
"Look Ace, a man is lying on the beach."
Luffy pointed out towards the man he's talking about.
"Do you think he's dead?"
Luffy asked his two friends.
"No, he's alive, look, his hand just moved, I think he's drinking those sakes, he'll probably pass out soon, we can steal some of the crates to sell later."
The boys decided to wait for the man to pass out then steal his drinks.
"Nee Ace, do you think that man is dangerous?"
"He probably is, but if he passes out we can take the crates safely."
After waiting for a few hours the man was still drinking, bottles lying around him, pulling out the last bottle from the crate near him, the man chugged the last bottle in one breath like it's water.
"Look, he probably will pass out after that last drink."
"You said that every time he pulled a new bottle, Ace."
Luffy complained to Ace obviously already getting tired of waiting for this man to pass out.
"I don't know he can hold his liquor alright, we'll see after this one, if he's still drinking we will leave him alone, but I'm pretty sure it's the last bottle."
"But it's getting dark Ace."
Luffy whined to Ace, but before he said another word the man who had been drinking stood up on his feet and seemed not drunk at all.
"What the hell, this man has been drinking a crate of sake but still stands like that, even Dadan would pass out."
"Woah, look at his back, it's full of tattoos."
Luffy was surprised by the man's back.
"Keep it down Luffy, he might hear you."
"Do you think he's a pirate Ace?"
The boy Sabo asked his friend.
"He might be, but I don't see any ships around, but we have to be careful not to draw his attention."
"Maybe we should get back Ace, that man looks dangerous."
"Wait, look, he's going for a swim, maybe we can take that crate near us, we will move once he gets into the water."
-------------------------------------------------------------
While Koujiro was swimming, he heard the sound of bushes rustling.
'Yo H, can I get a scan of the surroundings?'
While he was drinking on the beach earlier he got bored, so he asked the helper what were the things that the helper can do. After hours of reading instructions out of boredom, he already knew most of the things that will be useful for him in the future.
°Scanning...there are three heat signatures near the edge of the forest, they seem like moving towards the beach, from the measurement of the heat signatures, they are kids, age around 10.°
"What do you mean kids? I thought the island was empty, can you take a look at what they are doing?"
°They seem to be trying to steal one of your sake.°
"WHAT THE FUCK!!! HEEEYY!!! DON'T YOU DARE STEAL FROM ME YOU BRATS!!!
Koujiro immediately jumped out of the water after hearing that someone was stealing his precious sake.
"Crap, he knew, run Luffy, Sabo."
"COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE TURDS!!!"
'Summon Wakizashi'
Koujiro summoned his sword then immediately threw it towards one of the boys who was running near a tree, the sword flew right beside the boy chipping his shoulder a little bit, making him stumble, surprised by the attack and tripping at the same time.
"Aah fuck I missed."
Koujiro clicked his tongue and immediately caught up to the boy who had tripped.
"Got you brat hehe, come out you two, or I'll cut this friend of yours and feed him to the sharks."
Koujiro held the boy with his left hand while he summoned his Chokutō with his other hand.
"Help meeee, Ace, Sabo!!!"
The boy cried and struggled to get off the man's grip.
"Look brats, I would hate to kill a kid on my first day here, but if you won't give me back the shits you stole I would cut this kid."
Koujiro put the blade on the boy's neck, making him freeze, feeling the cold steel touching his neck.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"What do we do Ace? He might kill Luffy, you see his tattoos, he's definitely a pirate."
"I don't know Sabo, he might kill us too."
"What do you mean Ace? Are you just going to leave Luffy like we did to him when he was captured by the Bluejam pirates?"
"I know Sabo, but that man is different from the Bluejam pirates, he threw that sword with the intent to kill."
"Look Ace, just give back his sake and maybe we can apologize to him, we can't let him kill Luffy, he might be a reasonable person."
"Alright you stay behind me, if anything goes wrong, you immediately run, I'll try to distract him and help Luffy."
Ace walked out of the forest holding the crate while Sabo followed him.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Smiling at the two boys walking out of the forest with the boy on the front holding his sake, he lifted the boy he's holding.
"There we go, smart move, simple trade, a crate of sake for this boy's life."
Koujiro grinned, making the two boys in front of him shivering in fear.
"Aww don't be scared, I don't bite, I like kids just so you know, I got a few nephews myself, I just don't like my stuff getting stolen."
"Can you let Luffy go? I'll give you back your sake, we're sorry."
"Can't do young man, you get over here, put down the sake, and you'll follow what I said before I change my mind."
He pressed the blade against Luffy's neck indicating that he's not playing around.
"Okay...okay, just don't kill him, we'll do whatever you say."
"You, the one on the back, pull out the sword that stuck on that tree."
"Y-yes, sir."
Sabo jumped in fright after being told by the scary man, he got to the tree that the sword is lodged into and tried to pull it out, after a few tries and a few positions of pulling later he couldn't pull it out.
"Stay put, don't try to run or I'll cut your legs, you sit near him."
Koujiro sighed, dropping the boy and walked towards the tree to pull it out himself. The Wakizashi is a 30 cm sword, the blade is entirely buried into the tree leaving only the handle hanging.
"Man you're pretty weak for a wannabe thief."
He said to Sabo and easily pulled out the sword with one hand.
"Go sit near your friends."
Looking at the boys made him remember of his childhood friends, they were also a trio trouble makers playing Yakuza, all three of them grew up together and also join the same Yakuza clan when they grew up, out of the three only he's the one who survived and lived long enough to reach age forty. It's true that living as a modern-day Yakuza was not as dangerous back in the golden age, but it's dangerous nonetheless.
Taking a bottle of sake and opening it, he sat in front of the tree kids still shivering from fear.
"Aaah, this shit is good, never get tired of it, now kids, let me ask you a question, do you know what happens to thieves if they get caught?"
The kids just shook their heads not knowing what to say.
"Well, we from the Yakuza like to cut people's fingers."
The man grinned, making the kids shaking in fear while the kid that looked like the youngest was already leaking tears.
"I-is t-that what your pirate crew called sir?"
The one who was holding his sake asked.
'Hmm, this kid is pretty brave, most kids would already pee themselves and can't even utter a single word.'
"Pirate? Aah, you thought that my crew name was Yakuza? I'm not a pirate though, why would I want to be a pirate? Do I look like one?"
"W-well you're full of tattoos and drink a lot, seems like a pirate to me."
"You got guts kid, I like you, what's your name?"
"The name is Ace sir."
"Cool name, you two, what's your name?"
"Sabo sir."
"Luffy."
The kids started to calm down seeing the man is not so scary anymore.
"So you brats never heard of Yakuza before?"
The kids shook their heads again not knowing what the word meant, Ace decided to raise his hand wanting to say something.
"Shoot."
Koujiro saw Ace's raised hand.
"Umm, can you wear some clothes? It's kinda awkward talking to you while you're naked."
"Ghahaha, what do you mean awkward brat, we're all men here, besides we Yakuza always do this kinda thing in saunas and bathhouses."
"B-but we're kids, old man, and we're also not Yakuza."
The youngest kids who got caught earlier talked back.
"Hmm, fair enough. WHO THE FUCK YOU'RE CALLING OLD MAN YOU BRAT!!!"
*WACK*
Seeing the kid's head wobble after getting hit and not hearing any complaints from the kid he was surprised, did I not hit hard enough? He thought while raising his hand to slap the kid again.
*WACK*
"Heey, what's the second time for?"
"How the fuck you're not hurt after getting slapped like that?"
"Oh, I'm a rubber man, I'm made of rubber."
The kid, Luffy said he's a rubber man like it's just a normal thing.
'Wait, rubber man, Luffy, kinda sounds familiar'
"Say brat, what's your full name?"
"What do you want my full name for, old man?"
*WACK*
"Stop calling me old man, I'm still in my early forty, tell me your full name."
"Forty is an old man for me."
Ace murmured under his breath but Koujiro heard him easily and earned him a slap to the head, he gave Luffy a look signalling to tell him his full name.
"It's Monkey D Luffy."
Koujiro got silent for a moment to connect the dots, after thinking for a while and half a bottle of sake later the dots were connected, he realized the kid named Luffy is the main character of his current world.
Meanwhile, in an unknown realm, the old man who sent Koujiro to the world of One Piece is laughing his lungs out watching Koujiro dumbfounded sitting there cross-legged and butt naked.
"Man this is going to be fun."
Said the old man while munching popcorn.
