The wind I raise is sharper than that of a famous sword! No matter how strong you are, I can easily tear you apart!

The 16-inch computer screen was showing Episode 56 of One Piece, with Japanese voiceover coming from the speakers.
Sonic sat with his legs crossed and sipped his Coke through a straw with pleasure. One Piece updates were so rare that he couldn't resist and decided to rewatch the anime.
Soon an interested look appeared on his face. He ran his hand over the bangs covering his forehead and said to himself:
- By the way, this Paramecia-Scythe Devil Fruit in the anime is also not bad. At the beginning, it allows you to quickly increase your combat power, in the middle you can develop even more powerful blows, and at the end add Haki Coating to it, the potential is huge.
Sonic was almost 30, an anime fan and suffering from late-stage "eighth grade syndrome." He loved studying abilities from different anime, especially unique and interesting ones like Devil Fruits.
On the shelf nearby were figurines of the Rubber Fruit, renamed "Zoan: Human-Human Fruit: Mythical Beast: Nike Form", the Mera-Mera fruit that "dogs can't get", and seven or eight other Devil Fruit figurines.
- If I got into the world of "One Piece" and moved along the timeline, I would definitely go to the Sky Island for the Thunder Fruit. Or I would rob Doflamingo's auction and take the Golden Fruit before Tesoro. Op-op fruit could have been grabbed in time too!
Sonic laughed, lost in his fantasy. He ran his hand over the stubble on his chin and continued to mutter:
- It's a pity that Brynnid Waldo and Golden Lion Shiki are still alive, otherwise I would gladly take the More More Fruit and the Float Float Fruit. Oh...
- Damn it!
His hand shook in his excitement, and the can of Coke fell onto the computer desk. The carbonated liquid soaked the mouse pad and some of the cola spilled onto the computer.
In a panic, he grabbed some napkins and began wiping the cola off his computer, not noticing that the extension cord on the floor was also soaked in liquid.
Before he could finish, sparks began to fly from the six-plug extension cord on the floor.
The computer screen flickered several times and went dark.
The light on the ceiling started to blink.
Boom!
The computer exploded.
The hot flame scattered many fragments around...
————
Under a clear sky, the bright sun, surrounded by thin clouds, radiated a soft light. Seagulls flew quickly over the sea, but were frightened by a huge ship cutting through the waves.
It was a massive ship, almost 100 meters long. At the top of the mast, the flag of the World Government with a black cross on a white background was flying. The ship sailed through the blue expanses of the ocean, its wide hull inspiring respect even to the sea kings. Even the powerful waves crashed against the side, turning into foam.
- Hhh...
On the spacious deck, under a large umbrella, Sonic suddenly opened his eyes and sat up on a deck chair.
He looked around, looking at the familiar but long forgotten landscape. Gradually, he remembered his past life, and his tense body relaxed.
He stretched lazily, picked up a glass of orange juice from the small table next to him. The ice in the glass clinked, swaying slightly, and cold steam rose upward.
He took a sip, tasting the sweetness and coolness of the juice. He then lifted the glass and drank it all down. The cool liquid ran down his throat, refreshing his slightly clouded thoughts.
To be honest, it was already his 18th year in the world of One Piece, and he had not thought about his past life for a long time.
As one of thousands of time travelers, he never understood how the computer explosion sent him to this world. But he happily accepted the fact that he had been transported.
True, he regretted a little that he did not become a free pirate, as he dreamed, but he was not disgusted by being a government agent.
In this dangerous world teeming with monsters, it was a real blessing for him, an orphan with no connections, to have official status and stable conditions for growth.
Already at a young age, he became a member of CIPHER-POL [CIPHERPOL No. 9], a direct secret division of the World Government, and received a generous salary, which was much better than the life of those pirates who wandered the seas.
- What a funny face. Are you having a nightmare? Maybe you need a nanny to calm you down? - a mocking voice was heard.
Sonic burped contentedly and placed his empty glass of ice on the small round table next to him. He turned toward the main mast, lowered his frog glasses onto his face, and smiled at the thick-lipped man sitting there with his legs crossed.
- Honestly, Who's who , I didn't expect that you would be my partner in this mission. So try not to slow down!
The one he called "Whos who" could be identified by the long horns on his head, a black mask with golden circles for eyes, pink hair, and a cigarette in his mouth. He was dressed in a black suit and shoes, and next to him lay a pink sword in a sheath.
As someone who knew the plot, Sonic knew exactly who Whos Who was. In short, he was a loser who thought too highly of himself. However, his strength was not weak. Although he called himself a genius "not inferior to Rob Lucci," he was still worth something. At least in his generation, he was not inferior to the "old men" of the entire CP9 organization.
At this moment, Whos who stared at Xi Luoke with a displeased expression, blew out a puff of smoke from his mouth and muttered:
- I can handle this task myself, I don't need you at all!
"Oh, that would be great,"Sonic happily jumped up, sat down on the chair and quickly added, "Give me your sword, I'll peel an apple to celebrate."
- Do you want to die? - Who's who grabbed the weapon from the ground in a rage and, pulling it out of its sheath, it turned out that it was just a long dagger, not a samurai sword. It looked a little comical.
But he pointed his blade threateningly at Sonic.
"Hey, don't be so stingy!" Sonic reached out, grabbed a big red apple from the table, and smiled at Who'swho, "Tell you what, I'll share the apple with you and peel it for free..."
"I'll kill you! Blade Spear!!!" Without letting him finish, Who's who swung his dagger with a fierce expression and released several air strikes in the form of blades.
