One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean Chapter 2 - Rebirth

Chapter 2

….

Plop!

My almost faded consciousness returned hearing the sound of sothing falling into deep water.

...Soon I understood that the 'sothing' is none other than .

What's happening?... Didn't I just die? How am I able to think then? Was that all a dream? Or is this afterlife?

I beca anxious, nervous, and scared. I don't know where this is, I try to look around, but… But everything was dark.

I couldn't see anything, or maybe I don't even have eyes. I was even unsure of the authenticity of my current state of existence. Was this real or fake? I couldn't tell.

I felt cramped, I wanted to scream… But just then I heard sothing.

Badum!

My… heartbeat? That was my heartbeat, wasn't it? So, I AM alive! Then was I saved by so miracle doctor?... But my family doesn't have enough money to cure this kind of serious injury… so, do we have to suffer agai-- wait, wait, wait that's not possible. I clearly rember my head getting completely crushed. Even if so Miracle doctor ca, it's impossible to save ...

Just what the fuck is going on?! I lost everything I had, and now this? Is this a joke? A prank? I need an explanation!

Badum! Badum!

Hearing the drum-like heartbeat sound, my mind involuntarily cald down. Moreover, so kind of adoring warmness was surrounding like a protective blanket, giving inner-peace. Especially that heartbeat sound, it's as if trying to calm down… I'm feeling sleepy--

Wait, that sound?! There were two heartbeats?

Badum! Badum!

That was… yes, that's definitely a heartbeat sound. One is mine, but… the other one is definitely not mine… I can guarantee it.

This rings a bell in my mind… sudden death, darkness, sound of a heartbeat that doesn't belong to yourself...

A-Am I thinking too much, or is this really… a womb?

Badum! Badum!

There is it again… So am I REALLY inside a womb?

I'm not sure, but most likely.

That's hard to swallow. But to be honest, other than all this being a hallucination this is the only conclusion I can reach.

Is this reincarnation? Or maybe this is MY Mom's womb and I traveled to the past?

"...!"

Before I could be sure of anything, I felt a strong force pulling, or maybe pushing ...?

I didn't get enough ti to discern this as I feel my body going through a narrow tunnel-like thing. The thing was very narrow, and my whole body was being pushed to go towards the other end by an outside force.

Fuck, this even hurts!

The strange process hurt a lot, but nothing can beat the pain of death… So, I was sohow able to withstand the terrible pain. This also rings a bell...

Wait, wait, wait, is this a… eww.

Another strange phenonon is happening now. My previous suspicion is gone, and I'm sure of being inside a womb… Currently been given birth to.

Soon, after enduring a series of terrible pain, I finally saw the light. But my dark little world beca too bright for to see.

….

A few seconds have passed, my eyes still can't see much, but at least they have stabilized a little. Currently, with my blurry sight, I can see two giant hands lifting up.

"Wow, good news! It's a boy!"

It was an old lady who picked up with a delighted expression. She also confird that I'm still a man in this life. I'm feeling sothing strange in my back, but maybe it's just an after effect of birth.

Instead of thinking this, I tried to look around the room I was in. It was a small house made of dry leaves, probably a hut… So I was not sent to the past, rather born in a poorer family than mine.

The room didn't contain anything other than the bed. Maybe they cleared the room to prepare for birth?

Not far from , on the broken bed a woman with long black hair was laying down. Blood was coming out from between her legs and she was soaking in her sweat while gasping profusely. A gross sight to behold, to tell the truth.

I then see her raising her hands towards , gesturing to hold in her embrace.

So, this is my biological 'mother' now, huh. I don't rea--Wait, what is that?!

Though the woman was laying on the bed, I can still see little strange portions of sothing poking out from behind her back.

I arched up my eyes as the odd-looking object entered my eyes. The first thing that entered my sight was the won's full figure. She looked quite beautiful, to say the least. But I didn't care about that, because I have already seen what I wanted...

She's an… angel?

An angel, yes. What I saw can only prove that.

Not believing what I saw, I abruptly moved my gaze towards the old lady holding .

The fat old lady looked like your average grandma, except for the sa characteristic as the woman on the bed. She also had those wing-like objects coming out of her back.

That does look like actual wings… but are those really real.

Just like the woman laying on the bed, even from the old lady's back, small wing-like objects were peeking out pointing upwards. Since most of it was hidden behind both of their bodies, I couldn't say if those are really wings or if they are cosplayi-- no. Why am I reaching such stupid conclusion?! Did my IQ drop after birth? Who will do cosplay while giving birth?!

Setting aside the cosplay part, now the actual question is if those are really wings. And if that's true, then does that an they are angels? Does that an I reincarnated as an angel too?

I had many questions to think about, but before I could reach any conclusion and make sense of everything, the old lady brought very close to her face. Her large face full of wrinkles confronted my baby face as she looked at with a large smile, and eyes full of satisfaction.

"Look, he isn't even crying! Such a strong spirit! A warrior has been born! HAHAHA! Boy, just as your father wished for, from this day onwards your na will be Amon!"

I don't dislike the na Amon, but… A warrior? What is the hag talking about? Is the dical knowledge of this world so low that they believe not crying after birth is a good sign? I actually don't care about crying. Currently, if soone even wants to kill , I won't refute...

Huuh, let's calm down now. I just got a second chance. I should not throw it away. Let's calm… down.

Trying to calm down, I stopped thinking too much for now. But that was a wrong move because even after trying, I couldn't calm down… the mories of my past life were surfacing every now and then...

My family… my lovely mother and my reliable big brother… also the ones responsible for our fall. I can't help thinking back.

"Uagh!"

Suddenly a strange groan ca from behind and the old lady holding looked that way.

"Oh?! Acantha! Hold on a little, don't you wanna take your baby in your embrace before you perish?! W….uh…...gh….."

It seems sothing bad has happened just now… for that reason the old lady was shouting but I couldn't discern any of her words anymore. I couldn't see, my ears were hurting, and it was even hard to breathe in these brand new lungs, I felt as if my lungs were on fire.

Handing over to another woman beside her, she ran towards the bed. A small commotion broke out. But I wasn't able to pay attention to it, because my mind was at a breaking point. I have accepted that I have been reincarnated…

I have really been reborn with the mory of my previous life… as unbelievable as that may sound, that is the truth.

Leaving my family behind… alone in this unknown place. I was born again to live another life… T-That's a good thing, right? Then… Why am I not happy? Then… THEN WHY AM I CRYING?!

"WAHAWAHA!"

I was crying like how an ordinary baby would cry. Crying so loud that my lungs might have started to bleed. But unlike those novels Mc, I was not faking the tears.
