One Piece: Difficult Choices - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Reality and Hunger
two years ago.
It is still the East Blue Sea.
On an unknown island, 18-year-old Vivian stood in front of a glass door in a small town under the drizzle, with mixed feelings.
“I crossed?!”
And also traveled to the world of One Piece?
Looking at the portrait on the door, he still has black hair and black pupils, and his skin is slightly morbidly fair. However, unlike his previous life, he is now two meters tall, not to mention his facial features. More than ten times more handsome than before.
“Is this the so-called sense of substitution…”
He was muttering in a low voice, and in the next second, an unfamiliar memory flooded into his mind instantly.
It turned out that his full name was Alfred Vivian.
A few months ago, the village where he lived was unfortunately attacked by pirates, and all his parents and relatives were killed. He was lucky enough to get back his life when he went out to fish and lived a life of wandering alone.
However, God did not give him a second favor.
Just five minutes ago, the predecessor, who had not eaten anything for five days, finally starved to death.
It is precisely because of this that the current Vivian was able to cross over and occupy the current body.
Memories kept flashing in my mind.
Don’t worry, when I gain a firm foothold in this world, I will definitely avenge you!
He made up his mind to himself.
but..
The most urgent task now seems to be to solve the problem of food and clothing first.
As a result, he quickly accepted the fact that he had passed through, and Vivian, who was full of fighting spirit, turned around and walked towards the commercial street in the town.
…
“Go go, go go, don’t block the way in front of the store.”
In front of the blacksmith shop, a shirtless middle-aged man kicked Vivian out of the shop like a dog.
“Boss, believe me, I can not only move goods, but also strike iron. I have the strength.”
“You have the strength? You have the strength to even lift a hammer? You’re so thin that I’m afraid you’ll fall apart when you strike the iron.”
“Boss, just now it was because I was too hungry. As long as you give me something to eat, I will have the strength to work when I’m full.”
“Go eat shit.”
He kicked Vivian’s ass and kicked it far away. Vivian stood up from the ground, holding his waist in pain. He glanced at the bruise on his arm, and his eyes flashed a little angry.
Although he was only a high school student before he crossed over, he really didn’t believe it. With his knowledge reserve of five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation, in a mediocre anime world, could he still be able to get along?
“Boss, does your restaurant recruit waiters? I eat very little, and the salary is only a little bit..”
“Go away, you’re here to scare away all the customers, you will pay for the losses in my store?”
..
“Boss, are you hiring? I’m very good at selling things. I don’t want any wages, just give me something to eat…”
“I just set up a stall to sell apples. Do you think I can afford someone?”
The owner of the apple stand smiled bitterly, and immediately handed an apple to Vivian, “Boy, take this and walk away, don’t let me get bad luck.”
…
three days later.
Vivian, who was still hungry, walked staggeringly on the road, his body was dirty and smelly, like a zombie, causing pedestrians passing by to avoid it.
Why?
Can anyone tell me why?
As expected, the protagonist’s routine that the traveler should have did not appear, nor did the system, LOL hero skills, data panel, and grandfather.
And putting aside these unrealistic fantasies, he actually found that in addition to doing the questions, he Nothing.
Go to a restaurant to cook, he won’t.
To go fishing and hunting, he is even less able to.
To do coolies, the body is too thin, people dislike it.
Is it possible that the only way to achieve success is to become a pirate?
But with his current physique, as a pirate, who can he rob?
A lollipop in a three-year-old’s mouth?
“Grumble~”
His stomach growled again in disgust.
Feeling that he was about to faint, Vivian glanced at the barbecue shop on the side of the road, sniffing the fragrance wafting over, and Vivian, who couldn’t bear it any longer, slammed his heart, and rushed into the shop immediately. Picking up a plate of barbecued meat on the table, he turned around and ran away.
“catch him!!”
The owner of the barbecue restaurant, who was the first to react, shouted, and the next second, all the clerks in the store and the customers whose food had been robbed by Vivian all rushed out of the restaurant aggressively, followed by Vivian.
“Hurry and help catch that damn beggar!”
The clerks took their spatulas and spoons and shouted at the passers-by around them.
“Damn, don’t let me catch it, I promise to beat you to death!”
The guests who were robbed of food by Vivian had a fierce look in their eyes, and held the meat-eating fork tightly in their hands, eager to give Vivian’s butt a hard blow twice.
Vivian’s slender legs were swaying wildly, and he glanced back from time to time, while running, hurriedly stuffing the roast meat from the plate into his mouth.
No way, he was really hungry.
The aroma of the food quickly confused his brain, and the delicious sauce mixed with the tender taste of the meat bloomed on the taste buds. Vivian, who had not eaten for many days, suddenly felt a sense of lust feeling.
“Gollum!”
Before he could chew too much, he swallowed all the pieces of meat in his mouth. At the same time, the clerks chased after him, kicked Vivian to the ground, and then started punching and kicking.
“Steal something to eat!”
“I told you to steal something to eat!”
“Dare to come to our store to eat Bawang meal?”
“I can’t beat you to death, you little bastard.”
The fists and feet fell heavily, and Vivian curled up, covering his head with both hands, clenching his teeth tightly, and resolutely refused to open his mouth no matter how uncomfortable he was.
After all, if you vomit, the beating will be for nothing!
About five minutes later, the shopkeeper, who was already a little tired, wiped the sweat oozing from his face, looked at the customers who were still exporting to the side, and couldn’t help but persuaded, “Forget it, forget it.”
“I’ve beaten, and my anger should be gone. When I go back, I’ll make another for you for free.”
“Those are supposed to be feeding dogs.”
After saying that, he kicked Vivian’s back fiercely again, and the guest turned around contentedly and left cursingly.
Vivian, who was left covered in bruises, lay down on the ground, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his nose began to pantothenic acid.
…
The cold wind was blowing on the wound, and I don’t know how long I had been lying on the ground. Maybe it was starting to become numb. I felt the pain in my body gradually eased. Vivian was about to try to get up from the ground, but at this time , a kind-hearted grandmother with a porcelain bowl walked towards him staggeringly.
“Young man, don’t be hungry, eat quickly.”
Seeing this, Vivian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to take it. After seeing the bowl full of fried rice, he immediately bowed his head and thanked him.
“thanks, thanks.”
“woo woo woo woo..”
After a mouthful of fried rice, Vivian, who had just a little pantothenic acid in his nose, finally cried out at this moment.
But it is naturally impossible to remain idle.
Vivian cried while eating, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered his long-dead grandma in his previous life.
However, in the moment he devoured it.
[Ding!]
