As he lay there in the void, he wondered to himself, the fuck did he do to get the world that mad? Oh well, he was sure his parents wouldn't miss him much—not because they were evil people or anything, but because they died.
Quite recently, in fact, which was why he actually went out of his house for another purpose that wasn't work. He promised to be better, and the day he started on that promise, he was eviscerated.
So this was death, huh? Just an empty void—no heaven at all.
Now that was some bullshit. You mean all those prayers and good deeds he did were rewarded with this? If he knew this would be the ending, he probably would act the same, honestly.
He wasn't an evil person, and hurting people was not something he took pleasure in.
Like, come on—who could possibly feel pleasure from that?
He sighed. Oh well, guess he would spend all eternity here. Can't even goon in this bitch.
Suddenly, a big-ass screen appeared in front of him.
{Congratulations, your soul has been chosen to reincarnate in the One Piece world}
...
Okay, he didn't get a choice in this, plus he knew jackshit about the One Piece world. Couldn't it be the Naruto world instead?
{Unfortunately, due to overcrowding, the gate to that realm is closed. This realm is the only one available and the only realm which you know something of}
Wait, so the Naruto realm servers were full of reincarnators? Wait—isn't One Piece popular? Shouldn't it also be, like, super full?
{While yes, this realm is indeed popular, most reincarnators tend to die quite easily. This world is quite dangerous, while others just gave up}
Okay, so this thing could read his mind. Okay, he could deal with this. Time to pick his powers.
He wished he'd get something good.
{Host has accumulated a lot of karma from his past life. As such, host will get to choose his starting race}
His 'brow' furrowed. He wasn't that much of a good guy. Like sure, he helped any chance he got, and he donated blood like once a month. There was also the fact that he was a surgeon and saved quite a few people's lives, but still, he wasn't that much of a good guy.
He would say he was average overall.
{Compared to the thousands of entitled souls who pass through here, you are better}
Hm, he could guess that. Most reincarnators seemed to have a dick shoved down their ass. Oh well, none of his business—he shall not try to look past the distance between heaven and Earth.
No, it was... a toad desiring swan meat. Yeah, that was it.
Anyway, enough of the BS, time to see the options.

Looking at that option, he cringed a bit. He moved to Lunarian, a smile making itself known to his lips. Well, he was black, and they were black—they were a match made in heaven. Plus their buffs were insane. He liked them.
There were other races like Oni, but he didn't care. He only cared about what he saw right now, which was Lunarian—offering actual flight as a base ability.
{Race selection complete: Lunarian.
Aesthetic preference: 'Dark skin looks fire'.
Additional note: 'I was black before, so you know... representation.'
Warning: Your new appearance will make you an instant priority target for the Marines, Cipher Pol, pirates, bounty hunters, and a certain lady trying to have a kid with every species}
That last one seemed like a warning. Oh well, he had no clue who that could be. He would just avoid any sketchy-looking lady.
Difficulty setting: 🔴 DEEP RED – Hunted On Sight.
{Congratulations, you have been blessed — or cursed — with the Naruto Shinobi Legacy System.
Roll #1: Initial Bloodline / Character Template from the Hokage Lineage...}
Cool, he wondered who he would get.
He watched as it spun over Kakashi, Hashirama, Jigen—wait, hold up, Boruto characters were included? The question now was, was Isshiki also in that fusion? 'Cause he didn't want that fuck-ass bastard.

{User will spawn in Little Garden 4 years before canon. User will spawn at 15 years old}
Hm, it shouldn't be too bad. He had no clue what this Little Garden was, but from the name, shit would be light.
Like, come on.
If only he knew the second choice option was Whole Cake Island... oh, the atrocity that would happen to him if he did.
Oh well, let him think Little Garden was a little garden.
{Be warned of the dinosaurs and giants}
"The fuck?" was the last word that left his mouth before he was sucked away to the One Piece world.
