Chapter 1: Awakening in Shimotsuki**
The first thing Ren noticed was the **smell of salt and pine**. The second was the rough texture of wood beneath his small fingers.
And then—
*"Again!"*
A girl’s voice rang in his ears. Sharp, commanding, **familiar**.
Ren blinked. The world around him was **too real**—the warmth of the sun on his skin, the chirping of birds, the distant scent of the sea.
Before him, a **girl with sharp blue eyes** stood, a wooden sword in her hands. Her black hair was tied up, a few strands sticking to her forehead from sweat.
**Kuina.**
His breath caught. *She’s alive.*
A flood of memories crashed into him—**his past life.**
A life on Earth. A world where this one was only a story. A tragic tale where **Kuina would die too soon, and Zoro would inherit her dream.**
*No.*
Something inside him **screamed in resistance**. This wasn’t a story. It wasn’t some predetermined fate.
It was **his life now.**
"Hey!" Kuina called, frowning. "What’s wrong? Are you scared?"
Ren clenched his fists. His heart pounded, but not from fear.
**This was his second chance.**
He raised his wooden sword.
"I’m ready."
