Suddenly, the world around Fin is being distorted before…. Blank.
Somewhere in the Grand Line "Paradise"
Year 1510 of the One Piece Calenda
"Ughh..where am I?" said Fin as he opened his eyes.
As he raises his head, his eyes bulge out from its socket.
He saw two dudes consuming each other's lollipops in front of him.
He woke up, screamed and sat straight up. He looks around in panic and sees nothing but sand and water, just to realize what he saw was just a dream.
"Shit… that was a scary ass dream" muttered as he tried to control his emotions and breath.
Fin sat in silence, looking in front of him, a boundless sea of water waving up and down on the beach.
His mind has not registered what happened, which makes him look like a dead-brained person. Suddenly there voices inside his head…
Ding! The Architect System is installed, Rebooting process begun....5%...10%....15 %.....
The voice startled Fin from his musing.
"My name is Jeff... what the…" thought Fin as he looked around and did not see anyone. He finally realised the surroundings, all he saw was a boundless sea of water, a beach full of sand, and a forest behind him.
"What the fu** Is this? Where am I?" Fin to no one.
"Ding! The system reboot has completed, welcome users to the Architect System!" Another voice ringing in his head.
Fin looked around, trying to find the source of the voice that he was hearing and found no one.
The voice was so close, and no one was around him, so he concluded that it was from his head.
"Who are you? Are you inside me? Don't tell me you are the two guys that…." asked Fin in panic.
"No.. user… we are not….we are the architect system provided by the high above that has been bestowed upon you ...." answered the system.
"System? Bestowed?" Asked Fin, suddenly a lot of memories rushed through his brain from the previous encounter with the old man who could pull out a chair from his ass.
"Resurrected? New World? Shit… did that just happen?" muttered Fin as he looked around his surroundings again.
"Yes, host…. You have been transferred to a different place…. Or dimensions, if we must says" answered the system.
"We?.. Are you telling me there are more of you inside me? Those two dudes…." asked Fin.
"No host ... the system interpreted ourselves as 'We' because we represent many….things, answered the system.
".....Lollipop?..."Fin asked
"No…. let's just say, we, the Architect System, represent the will of those who send you here to help you, represented the will of your previous world and the world of imagination from yourself to make it more entertaining, answered the system.
"So… no lollipop?" asked Fin
"NO!!...well, if you want, I can…." answered the system quickly.
"No,no,no,no…. It's all good, I'm good," panicked Fin.
Fin relaxed his breath for a while, trying to process all this. It seems like what the old man says has become true; he was transferred to another world…another story.
What makes him wonder is where this place is, or which world does he transfer to?
As on cue and listening to his thoughts, the system sounded.
"Host, this world or dimensions. Is the world filled with lies and deceit…pirates, marine, world government, fish man, long tribe, revolutionary, etc.
The people above send you to the world from the most recent imagination that you built from those comics...or manga i should say," said the system.
While listening to the explanation, Fin's eyes became wider and wider. No!... it couldn't be right!.
"One Piece???" asked Fin in surprise. But how can that be! Those are just manga!! As if on cue, the system answers.
"Yes, Host, you need to understand the comprehension of the people above…anything is possible for them, they know about your recent obsession and imagination on "what if", so they thought it would be very entertaining if it happened in real time"
answered the system
Well, that's true, I guess, for the past few years, he was a follower of the One Piece manga by Eiichiro Oda.
And, for the past few months, he was very addicted because the story is becoming more and more interesting to the point where Fin starts imagining ''what if this' and 'what if that' for the story.
And just like that…it suddenly became possible now. Don't get him wrong, he was excited to actually be able to do this, but he was worried about strength and how he was gonna live his path.
Well, at least he has a system, Fin thought.
Fin starts to process all of that has happened so far, trying his best to accept it.
"I see…well, at least there are things that can help me. Hey system, can you tell me about yourself and what you can do?" asked Fin
"Well, host, it's actually simple. The premise of us as the system is to help you to survive and probably dominate the world or whatever you want to do…." answered the system.
"In what way?" asked Fin
"Host…. The Architect system allows you to synthesize many technological prowess from your world, but not limited to every franchise or thing that you can imagine… for example..
With enough money, you can create and invent weapons such as, but not limited to, pistols, shotguns, machine guns, etc., from your previous world," says the system.
"No shit….freedom?Oil?" Fin was shocked.
"And with enough money and military merit, Host can synthesise any technology, dark technology, destruction technology, anything from what you know and what you imagine to become reality in this world, said the system.
"Military Merit?" asked Fin.
"Yes…. the stuff that you synthesise that was used can make military merit points to develop more and more bizarre or powerful class of weapon or any invention whatsoever, answered the system
"So.. that means I need to join the Navy for military merit?" asked Fin
"No… military merit does not have to belong to a certain organisation…as long as it was used in military battle or something relevant to it can gain you military merit point" answered the system
"I see…" said Fin.
Thinking about this, to develop, he needs money and military merit. In retrospect of this world, the one who can grant him most of those is the Navy and the World Government. In terms of life, it is easier to live alongside them, but it depends on the time it is now.
"System, can you tell me which year it is right now?" asked Fin
"Host,.... The traverse happened in 1510 of the calendar, which is ten years after Gol D. Roger's passing," answered the system.
"I see… seem to have traversed in a sandwich year between the Pirate King's death and the protagonist's emergence in the story, muttered Fin.
"System, what other features do you have?" asked Fin
"Host … before we answer… detecting danger from behind.. Fast…!!" warned the system.
"Huh…" Fin looked back, and sure enough, giant wild boars were rushing up to his positions from inside the forest.
"Shiiitt, fu**, fu**" cursed Fin as he started to run along the beach from the angry boar.
"Holy shit, those things are bigger than your dad's belly…" screamed Fin as he was chased.
The sand on the beach makes it more difficult to run which makes the boars getting more and more closer. Fin starts to get tired, and the boar is getting closer.
"Am I dead already….. Stupid boars.. Who provoked this stupid thing?" screamed Fin as he ran.
Suddenly, there was an explosion which sent him hurling to the ground. Fin fell on his face and, in panic, moved quickly to sit right up and see behind him.
He saw the boar fall, and there was smoke on its back.
The boars start to get up, only to be hit by another explosion on their heads from the sea area. It's now more than dead.
Fin covers his face with his hand from the flying sand and flesh.
As the sound became silent he looked up towards the sea and saw a ship sailing in the water getting close to the shore.
Fin realised it was a warship, a navy warship.
"You good young man?" a voice coming from the warship.
Fin looks up towards the warship deck and sees an old lady wearing a navy cloak looking at him funnily.
"Soldier, let's go down" commands the old woman to the people on the warship around her.
"Yes, Vice Admiral" answered the soldier.
Fin watches in silence as the navy soldier makes landfall on the beach in front of him. He saw the old woman leisurely approach him.
He recognised who she was. That's right, Navy HQ Grand Strategist, Navy Vice Admiral Tsuru.
A person from the era of Sengoku, Garp, Roger, Whitebeard and many others.
Vice Admiral Tsuru is now in front of him. And the first thing Fin says is…
"You are old…" says Fin from nowhere.
There was a tick mark on Vice Admiral Tsuru's head.
"What was that... young man??" Tsuru asked, getting angry.
The soldier around them gasped from Fin's remark and started to back away in fear.
Fin raises his hand in surrender as the Vice Admiral gets closer to him.
"Hey, hey, hey….. I'm just joking ... .ARGH," screamed Fin as he was bumped in the head.
As Fin rubbed the bump in his head. Vice Admiral Tsuru speaks to him.
"What's your name, young man, and are you on this island by yourself? Shipwrecked?" Asked Tsuru.
Fin looked at Tsuru and tried to come up with something. After all, you can't say you spawn here, right?
"Well, my name is Fin, Fin Archibald"
"That's right, I was stranded from a shipwreck that happened last week ...err," answered Fin.
Tsuru looked him up and down, trying to see if Fin was lying band couldn't find any.
"Is there anyone else from the shipwreck? Or is it just you?" asked Tsuru.
"Well…to be honest, the merchant ship I was on was attacked by pirates.. I was lucky to survive by using one of the dinghy boats by myself and shipwrecked here"
Answered Fin in a low tone, trying to make it more sincere.
"Pirates…." growled in anger at the soldier around them.
"I see, so, where are you from, Fin? Maybe we can help you go back home?" asked Tsuru.
"Well…. " Fin was trying to find a story he could use. While he was thinking, the system voice sounded in his head.
"Host, you can say you are from Alabasta, the system has implanted your identity in the world to make sure you are legit if they happen to look for informations"
Said the system
With these confirmations, Fin looks relieved and speaks more confidently.
"Well, vice admiral ....I was originally from Alabasta, getting on the boat of merchants trying to find a job in other places, said Fin.
"Alabasta?.....well i see, this island is not far from Alabasta and looking for a job, you say? Interesting, what professions do you seek?" Asked Tsuru curiously.
"Well, I'm actually a scientist, believe it or not" answered Fin confidently with his fist on his chest.
Tsuru looks surprised, a stupid man this young and is actually a scientist?
"Scientist? Interesting, interesting, huh, which way of science do you pursue?" asked Tsuru.
To know that there are not many scientists who are really known in the world makes such talents really rare.
Especially when there are such people as Vegapunk who make other scientists cower because they think they are not truly capable.
And to see this young man in front of her makes such a proud claim, which means what he has is probably extraordinary.
If that's true, Tsuru would like to invite this man to the Navy before pirates get hold of him.
