(Rei's POV)
"The hell?" I sat up, feeling my entire body was throbbing, "Where am I?"
I looked around me, seeing that I was on a grassy hill in the middle of nowhere. Down the hill, I saw that there was a small stream, the sound of birds chirping filled the air as I felt the breeze hit my face.
I don't remember much, I think I was sick with some illness. I am pretty sure I was going to die, but I really don't know if I did.
I stood up, "Hm...." I said, "What is this feeling I have?"
Everything everywhere around me was being absorbed by all of my senses, as if I could feel and hear everything at once. It was a strange sensation, the sounds of everything in the near vicinity funneling into my ears was quite disorienting.
I walked down the hill and made my way to the stream, still looking around and felt a bit confused. The more seconds that passed by, the more sure I was that I had died to that illness back where I was.
Was this the afterlife? Or was this some sort of dream?
"This is....quite...interesting." I said as I saw something appear in my line of sight
It was some sort of interface, a small rectangular screen that had a few words written on it.
[Traits Obtained]
- Willpower of The Divine: You Have All Three Forms of Haki (Armament, Observation, and Conqueror's), All Of Them Are Equalized To This World.
- Aggression's Edge: During Battle, Combined With Armament Haki, Your Sword Becomes Sharper and The More Aggressive You Fight, The More Damage You Inflict.
- Sex Conversion: Have Sex With Women To Empower Your Haki, Cultivating It and Storing The Reserves of Power.
I blinked, "Is this a System?" I asked, "Wait, wait. Haki? Aggression's Edge? Sex Conversion? What am I looking at?"
I looked around me, and the interface had disappeared. I then noticed that my body was feeling a bit strange, so I looked down at it. I was wearing grey pants with some boots, and my shirt was a white button-up. I was quite confused by my attire, seeing that it was not something I thought I wore.
I was given three traits. One of those traits was basically all three forms of Haki from One Piece. Armament, Observation, and Conqueror's. This was quite the surprising thing to suddenly wake up to; this could very well be a dream.
"Haki." I mumbled, "And a sword-related trait. Hm, no Devil Fruit or anything? Interesting, feeling like Red-Haired here...."
I then looked over to the stream, walking over to it.
I looked at the water, seeing my reflection and widening my eyes to see what was looking back at me.
"Ahh!" I said as I stepped back in surprise, "No way!"
I then leaned back, peering into the waters once again. I had nearly the same face as Red-Haired Shanks from One Piece, except a little younger and without the scars. I didn't have the stubble either; I was clean-shaven.
But that face was unmistakable; that was the one and only Shanks who looked back at me.
"No way...." I said, "What is the meaning of this?"
I was reincarnated into a body that is remarkably similar to Red Haired Shanks from One Piece. Was I reincarnated in the One Piece world as Shanks himself? I don't think so, why would I be granted a Trait that gives me his Haki? I mean, I don't look younger than the version of Shanks that watched Roger's execution. I am sure that this is a young adult version of Shanks.
"Where am I?" I muttered
I then heard a massive explosion in the distance, one that shook the ground and trembled the air. I looked over to the side, seeing a large cloud of flames and smoke that reached to the air, the ground still trembling slightly.
"What the hell....?" I said
Then, my entire body stiffened up, my senses going haywire as if they were warning me of something in the distance.
I tried focusing, not too sure on how to use Observation Haki, which I was sure I had the basic form of it. I then honed in my senses where the explosion happened and I felt a strange sensation, as if there was something in the air. The more I focused my Observation Haki, I could make out an invisible force within the air, as if it were integrated with the space itself.
"Hm...." I said as I had my eyes closed, "What could that be?"
I then focused into the explosion and sensed several presences nearby the explosion. They were around 100 meters away, which was quite the coincidence, if I say so myself.
I opened my eyes, "Seems like there are others over there." I said, "This could be stupid, but I should check it out. I'm not a coward, am I?"
I then ran towards where the explosion had happened, hearing loud shouts as I got closer. I felt another tremor which shook the ground, followed by the sound of a massive crash as the shouts got louder.
"What the fuck are you doing, dammit?!" I heard a guy's voice shout out, "Natsu!!!"
"Get fucking lost, dammit!!" I heard some exclaim, "That one was my prey!!"
"Enough!!" another voice shouted, "This is no time to fight!!"
As I got closer, I felt the presences more clearly and I could hear their voices even better.
"Natsu....?" I said to myself with a frown, "Wait...."
I reached the scene of the explosion, seeing multiple people around the cloud of smoke and flames. I saw a shirtless guy punching another pink-haired guy in the stomach with a scowl on his face.
"You idiot!" He shouted, "It got away!"
"Agh!" the pink-haired one said, "Get off me!!"
They began to exchange blows, hitting each other in the body and head with a petty fury.
"Enough!!" a red-haired woman hit them both on the back of the head, "The beast got away!"
The two guys collapsed on their knees, rubbing the back of their head as they groaned in pain.
"What in the hell....?" I muttered as I was standing a few dozen feet away from them, completely baffled by the sight
Wait, did they say Natsu?
I looked at the pink-haired guy, seeing that he had a very familiar white-scarf that looked like dragon scales.
"Natsu Dragneel..." I said softly
If that was Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail, then the other one was Gray Fullbuster.
Which means that the red-haired woman was....
"Titania...." I said with awe
As in cue, Erza Scarlet turned to look at me with her divine eyes, her beauty radiated from her amazing body and nearly melted my heart.
She frowned, "And who are you?"
"Huh?" The other two turned to look at me
Natsu stood up and sniffed the air, "Oi oi, who's this guy?" He asked, "Why does he smell strange?"
"Who the hell is he?"
