Chapter 1: A Genius Beyond Comprehension, Deriving the Blade of Cremation!
“My child, hold on just a little longer… very soon, you will be born.”
A gentle, soothing voice murmured softly in his ears. With great effort, Ace pried open his eyes, only to be greeted by the warm embrace of fluid surrounding him.
“This… this is…”
Ace attempted to speak, yet no sound emerged from his lips. His gaze shifted slightly, and in that instant, a shocking revelation struck him—I have been reincarnated as an unborn infant!
“My child, your father is the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. As his son, you will endure this, won’t you? Very soon, just a little while longer, and you will be born. Stay strong.”
The gentle whispers reverberated in his ears, sending a shiver through his soul.
Gol D. Roger—the Pirate King?! The world of One Piece?! Have I truly transmigrated into the body of Portgas D. Ace, bearing the same name as my past self? Then, the voice whispering to him now must belong to my mother in this life—Portgas D. Rouge.
In a desperate attempt to shield her child from the Marines, who sought to eradicate Roger’s bloodline, she had prolonged her pregnancy far beyond the natural term. What should have lasted ten months had stretched into a gruelling twenty, leading to her eventual death in childbirth. This explained why his body was fully developed, despite not being born yet.
Am I truly destined to become Fire Fist Ace in the world of One Piece?
Ace pondered deeply, memories of his new identity flooding his mind. He recalled that Ace had consumed the Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi, granting him the power of flames. He had been born with the potential to wield Conqueror’s Haki, possessing the qualities of a true king, yet he had sealed away that strength, despising the bloodline he had inherited from Gol D. Roger. Ultimately, he perished in the Marineford War, falling to Akainu’s magma fist…a tragic fate.
[Mera Mera no Mi (メラメラの実) – A Logia-type Devil Fruit in One Piece that grants the user the ability to generate, control, and transform into fire at will.].
Ace’s Mera Mera no Mi had dazzled fans in his past life when he first appeared. Yet, as the One Piece world evolved, the ability to manipulate fire became increasingly commonplace. What was once an awe-inspiring Devil Fruit was now dismissed as something “even a dog wouldn’t eat.” Coupled with his somewhat immature mindset, the self-imposed suppression of his Conqueror’s Haki, and the lack of a king’s ambition, his downfall had been inevitable.
[Conqueror’s Haki (覇王色の覇気, Haōshoku no Haki) – A rare and powerful form of Haki that allows the user to exert their willpower to overpower the minds of others.].
When it came to wielding fire, the true master had to be Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto from the Bleach universe. As the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, his flames could rival the heat of the sun’s core. He was revered as the most powerful Shinigami in a thousand years.
[Gotei 13 (護廷十三隊) – The 13 Court Guard Squads in Bleach, serving as the primary military force of the Soul Society.].
Particularly in his battle against Aizen, even after his Zanpakutō, Ryūjin Jakka, was sealed away, he had unleashed Hado #96: Ittō Kasō—the Blade of Cremation. That single, sky-piercing inferno had embodied the very essence of true fire.
[Ryūjin Jakka (流刃若火) – The strongest fire-based Zanpakutō in Bleach, wielded by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.].
[Hado #96: Ittō Kasō (一刀火葬) – A forbidden Kido spell in Bleach, which manifests as an enormous, single-blade-shaped explosion of fire, capable of incinerating everything in its path.].
Ace mused in silence.
Huff!
As he contemplated, his vision darkened. In the blink of an eye, the warm sanctuary of his surroundings vanished, replaced by a scene of utter devastation— A ruined cityscape stretched before him, and in the distance, amidst the wreckage, he found his gaze locked onto a colossal crater.
“I will not tell you to cling to life… for your existence is synonymous with the history of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryūsai. Your fate is to perish beneath my blade.”
A voice devoid of human warmth echoed in his ears. Ace strained to lift his head, only to see a white-robed man approaching with a sword in hand.
Aizen?!
The familiar face and attire sent shockwaves through Ace’s heart. Before he could react, the very moment Aizen reached his side, Ace’s right hand moved instinctively—seizing Aizen’s ankle in an unyielding grip.
“Boy, do not make me repeat myself.”
A voice, aged yet brimming with an indomitable presence, escaped Ace’s lips. His charred and battered arm, impossibly, began to crack open, revealing deep crimson fissures. A flicker of shock passed through Aizen’s gaze.
“This… This is the forbidden technique that can only be triggered by sacrificing one’s own scorched body—Hado #96—”
Aizen’s pupils shrank in an instant.
“Ittō Kasō!”
Boom! Clang!
With a thunderous roar, an all-consuming blaze erupted from the remains of his body. A monstrous inferno surged skyward, coalescing into a devastating blade of fire. Its searing heat warped and fractured the very air itself. Under its terrifying might, all things in existence seemed on the verge of obliteration. That blazing sword, piercing through the heavens, was the very embodiment of the most supreme fire in existence.
Huff!
In the next moment, the vision shattered, and Ace found himself once more enveloped in the warm embrace of fluid.
【Your comprehension is unparalleled. Through personal enlightenment, you have derived a unique skill—Ittō Kasō!】
【Your comprehension is unparalleled. Through the murmurs of Portgas D. Rouge, you have fully mastered the language of the One Piece world.】
A flood of knowledge surged into his mind, leaving Ace in stunned silence.
What do you think?
