1 C1 : Rebirth

Two people is seen at the side of a hospital bed with a young man on it. The two people are the parents of the young man, and they're crying due to the 'accident' he was in. The accident was but a cover for attempted murder.

The young man was a popular man in his university, with a lot of young women chasing him. Excelling in mathematics, science, physical education, and so on, along with his gentle and carefree personality and looks, has him being the number-one-husband/boyfriend object for the young women. Never did they expect him to be poor. His family was rich, however due to betrayal of their blood relatives, they lost a lot of their money. That only helped the young man to start changing from his old personality, snobbish and arrogant, to his new personality, gentle and carefree. He started to work hard for a better future for his family and himself. His name...

"Mother, father, I'm sorry I couldn't obtain a better future for you guys...", the young man said to his crying parents at his side.

Looking at them, he couldn't help but regret all of his past actions to them when he was such a snob and arrogant. They had overlooked his actions a lot of times due to their love towards their son, yet he did nothing for them. By the time he lost everything but his parents, it was too late for him to repay their feelings, even though he tried hard to change and worked hard to be successful. Thinking of how he got into the so-called 'accident', his hatred for his 'blood' relatives started to burn harder and harder.

His mother started to cry harder,

"It's okay, just please survive this! I don't care if we can't have better future as long we're together!"

"Mother, you know that I can't.. I've only few minutes until I pass away.. I'm sorry."

His voice shaking, he replied to his mother. He turned his eyes to his father and said,

"Father! You have to protect mother and yourself from 'them'! They're the reason why I'm like this!"

His father nodded angrily while sobbing, for he knew who they were and why they did this. Seeing this, the young man smiled and closed his eyes in his passing.

"No! Don't go!", his mother yelled hysterically.

"I swear to you, I will take revenge for our family!", his father shouted angrily.

"Ryu!", both of them shouted.

*Ding*

A sound resounded in Ryu's mind. Starting to awaken, his conscious was confused. He was sure he died.

'What the hell? Shouldn't I be dea- Wait, is this the so-called reincarnation!?', Ryu started to get excited.

A gray transparent tablet appeared in his conscious.

[One Piece System is connecting to the host, g6-2329sr...]

[5...4...3...2...1]

[Connected! Host is now a 'member' of the system.]

'F**k! One Piece!? Damn, so I won't be in the same world as my parents, eh?', he was happy and sad at the same time. Sad because he couldn't help his parents. Happy because he knew One Piece, after all he was secretly an fan of anime and fictional novels.

[Host, would you like an tutorial of what is happening to you or do you not give a shit about it?]

[Tutorial/Don't give a shit]

'...'

[...]

'Uh.. I'd like an tutorial.', he said in his conscious.

[Very well, host. Your soul was chosen by the God of Systems to reincarnate along with me, One Piece System, he created casually.]

'Oh... Well, I'm glad and all, but I'd like to know what happened to my parents' life.'

[Requesting from the God of Systems about it...]

*Ding*

(MESSAGE FROM GOD OF SYSTEM)

[Open?]

'Open.'

[Message from God of System:

Ryu, your parents' life after your death was difficult in the beginning, however, it started to get better due to me choosing you. I didn't want you to worry about them, so I decided to change their luck a bit. They're living well, and don't worry about the relatives who caused your death, they're living miserably now. As for your reincarnation, it's just a whim of mine I wanted to do for an experiment with One Piece System. Live well and do whatever you want to. Also, I've given a little gift for you.]

'So they're fine. That's good.', Ryu was satisfied.

[Host, would you like to open the gift?]

'Yes.'
