-Daniel 3rd POV-
Daniel stirred, a dull headache pressing against his skull as awareness slowly returned. Warm grains shifted beneath his fingers—sand. He didn't rush to stand. Instead, he lay there for a moment, stretching out the stiffness in his limbs before tilting his head to take in his surroundings endless shoreline.
And three strange fruits resting nearby.
He pushed himself up and walked over, brushing sand from his hands as he picked one up. The surface was patterned and unnatural, unmistakable to anyone who'd spent time in fiction Devil Fruits.
His grip tightened slightly—until he noticed the bite marks each one had already been tasted. A chunk missing here, a rough tear there. Whatever power they once held was gone. Useless.
Daniel exhaled and let them fall back into the sand without ceremony.
Typical.
He turned away and headed toward the nearest patch of shade, settling beneath a tree as the reality of it all began to sink in. The ocean stretched endlessly, the air carried that unmistakable salt, and those fruits Yeah No doubt about it.
Somehow, he'd ended up in the One Piece universe and apparently, even here, his luck was terrible.
Daniel:"one piece huh? I didn't really watch it or read it but I know shits about to go down"
Daniel didn't watch much One piece and only read the one piece manga up to the drum Island arc and he only know enough about one piece thanks to recap, review, devil fruits explain video and fanfics but he knows one piece has its own dangers such as the main antagonist IMU they sit on the empty thrown and controls the world government with absolute authority just as Daniel could figure out what to do next a pixelated screen appears

Daniel:"oh it's that type of system welp time to gamble"

Daniel:"yeah yeah I know spend money and get something random from random games like God of war"

Daniel:"if I knew that was the case then I would have bought doom,god of war, Naruto,or dragon ball"
GGS:[would you like to get your starter pack?]
Daniel:"of course what's kind of idiot rejects the starter pack"
GGS:[opening starter pack.....100 million beli, compression quirk,haohmaru fighting style,torbjorn engineering knowledge,3 devil fruits, Minecraft inventory,zin alien invasion button]
Daniel:"pardon me what was the last one?"
GGS:[The zin alien invasion button just one press and you can start a alien invasion you can choose where to start the invasion but be careful the zin won't obey you]
Daniel:"..... I'll save it for later"
Daniel examined the Starter Pack, pulling out the three newly obtained Devil Fruits. They looked identical to the ones he had found earlier, except these were untouched—smooth, whole, and free of any bite marks. He chose not to eat one yet. Without knowing what abilities each fruit carried, taking that risk now would be reckless. Instead, he stored all three safely inside his inventory.
Lifting his gaze, Daniel scanned the area in search of any sign of civilization, but there was nothing—only emptiness stretching in every direction. As he moved forward, he eventually came across the wreckage of a broken ship lying upside down in the sand. Its hull was riddled with cannon holes, and a massive spike had been driven straight through it.
Daniel:"hey system where am I?"
GGS:[User is at the East blue known as the weakest sea and currently Luffy is recruiting Zoro]
Daniel:"damn that early in the story but good"
Placing one hand against the wreck, Daniel activated Compression. In an instant, the entire ship folded inward on itself, shrinking down until it became nothing more than a small blue marble resting in his palm. He picked it up, slipped it into his inventory, and made his way to a nearby clearing. Once there, he tossed the marble onto the ground and snapped his fingers, releasing the stored mass. The ship reappeared at once, this time restored to its proper position, sitting upright instead of overturned.
Climbing aboard, Daniel began to explore. He paid no attention to the scattered bones left behind by its former crew and moved deeper into the vessel. When he reached the gun deck, he found a row of simple cannons, a few firearms scattered here and there, and several swords that had somehow endured the wreck.
Daniel:"this can work oh by the way how much is a spin?"
GGS:[50 million beli per spin would you like to spin?]
Daniel:"no not yet I have a lot of work to do"
-Timeskip-
After hours of work, Daniel had finally managed to put together a basic shelter. Using Compression, he carved out a hollow in the side of a mountain, shaping it into a rough cave that could at least serve as protection from the elements. He then salvaged usable parts from the wrecked ship and reinforced the entrance with a crude wooden wall, turning the space into something closer to a defensible hideout than a simple hole in the rock.
Now, with the immediate problem of shelter handled, he sat on a stone just outside the cave, the three Devil Fruits resting in front of him as he studied them in silence. He was trying to figure out what exactly he had found, but the task felt almost impossible without any real reference. One of them was clearly a Bird Zoan, judging by the feathery patterns woven into its design, but beyond that, he had nothing. The others were complete mysteries, and even the one he could vaguely identify told him almost nothing useful.
Daniel:"system tell me about the devil fruits"
GGS:[ the nail paramecia allows user to create metal nails and screws,the salt logia, and the mythical bird zoan ROC]
Daniel:"not bad I have a idea how to use the ROC fruit but I need a ship"
GGS:[do you always talk out loud?]
Daniel:{....no}
Deciding to ignore the system for now, Daniel pushed himself to his feet and looked out at the setting sun. The sky was painted in fading shades of orange and gold, and for the first time since waking up on the island, everything felt strangely calm. Peaceful, even. Yet beneath that calm sat a dull sense of boredom, creeping in with every passing moment of stillness.
A part of him—the same reckless, thrill-seeking side that loved chance and uncertainty—wanted to give in and use the system just to see what would happen. But common sense held him back. Acting blindly with something this unpredictable would be stupid, especially when he still knew almost nothing about where he was or what kind of situation he had been thrown into. For now, waiting made more sense.
If Luffy ever arrived at all.
GGS:[ you must be excited to go past the grand line and have a incredible adventure]
Daniel:{ nah I'm good}
GGS:[the fuck you mean "nah I'm good"?]
Daniel:{I'm not going anywhere I'm sticking around the East blue for a while Luffy can deal with it}
GGS:[what about the women aren't you interested in them?]
Daniel:{there's plenty of women in the east blue and who says that background women don't exist}
Daniel lay stretched out on the sand, trying to force himself to sleep, but it was pointless. Rest refused to come. In his past life, he had been too used to mindlessly scrolling whenever boredom hit, and now, with nothing to distract him, the silence felt almost unbearable. Staring up at the rocky ceiling of the cave, he could only lie there and endure the restless boredom gnawing at him.
The system seemed to notice.
As if deciding to throw him a bone, it quietly opened its interface and displayed the list of games he owned. Daniel didn't hesitate for even a second. He immediately chose Overwatch. Since there was obviously no internet connection on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere, the system compensated by setting itself up as his opponent for a one-on-one match. Almost instantly, the cave's atmosphere shifted. The dull emptiness faded, and for the first time since arriving here, the place felt strangely familiar—almost like home.
