Triple Steps

AN: I have been reading Fan-fiction for years, and I have read the great ones, and I have also read not so great ones. Saying that if some would like to beta this story please shoot me a PM. I also don't own anything, so please don't sue. Now on with the story. Edited by xkittx831

Prologue: Making the Bet

When one is in a fight, the amateur doesn't think of position. A master on the other hand knows his position down to the step. That wasn't me, right then I was just a 26 year old newbie, that washed up on shore, and in front of me stood a Dugong in a martial arts pose that just screamed, "come get some!"

I should explain how I would up in front of a creature from another world. I was sitting in my room, reading The Gamer. As I was reading I suddenly had a brilliant thought, I said; "Ha, if I had the ability, I would use them better than him."

That was when I heard a voice say, "Oh really, prove it."

The next thing I know there is a flash of light, and I am standing on the deck of a ship. The Voice started to speak again, "Welcome to the world of One Piece. Your have 2 years until to Monkey D Luffy sets out from his home island. Your challenge is this, you have 1 year to train, after that you have 1 year to make a name for your self."

"If you want to join Luffy on his voyage, that is up to you. There are a few events you must be present for. These events will take the form of urgent quests, and will have a timer and a compass point for you to follow. Failure to be at said point will be game over. If you win this challenge you will receive a prize far beyond any thing in your world."

" You said if you had The Gamer ability you would use them better, very well, you will receive the ability. You know how the system works, the character customization screen will pop up as soon as this conversation is over."

I was pretty numb at this point, I think The Gamer's Mind was working overtime to keep me from making panicking. That is the only explanation I could come up, because I know I should be freaking out. as The Voice had stated, whom if The Gamer Lore is correct was Gaia herself, a screen was hovering in the air in front of me. Also I was in the world of One Piece? The world were OP means ordinary person, not Over Powered. I think Gaia is trying to make her displeasure known.

Looking at the screen labeled, Character Optimization, floating in front of me. My current self is not made for this new world. So in other words the world doesn't need a gouty 30-year-old with a bum knee, good to know. Reading on it explained that I would be regress in age to 26, as I was closest to the age of Nico Robin after the time skip, the system would use her character as a reference. After I finished reading the information, the system gave me a prompt;
