Chapter 1 - Ch. 1 The Child of Freedom

How often does one get a second chance? Another life opportunity to experience something you've never experienced in your mundane life.

" waahhh!!! Waaahh!! Waaahhh!!" On a stormy night on a world government ship.

" Free the slaves! Quick before the Navy Finds us!!!"

The Revolutionary Army was doing its good work against the World Goverment and its corruption.

" Y-You Can't do this!!! You—Gah!!"

Chaos spread through the ship as they advanced through towards the captured slaves in the bottom of the ship.

However instead of slaves that was written in the report. Instead they found a newborn child in a protective bubble.

The group that was supposed to handle freeeing the slave stood frozen as they stared at the child in the bubble.

" D-Dragon…. It's a child." One spoke into the transponder Snail.

" A child?"

" Yes, it appears to be a celestial's child."

There was a short pause before he order the revolutionary.

" Bring them in along with anything on the ship that'll help us."

" Yes Sir."

' That damn bastard, reincarnating me without warning. I hate being baby!!' A fate worse then death. To live the next few years as a baby.

It's been days since I've been rescued from the world governments ship. And why I said rescue? Because I knew I would've been shipped to the holy land.

It may have been a place of heaven for other, but it wasn't the path I want to live. Besides, I don't wanna grow up with weird hair and a bubble over my head.

I've gotten comfortable in my new crib as I was being watch over by new recruits that have joined.

" You see this baby!? He has more time in service in the revolutionary than you lot!" One trainer spouted at one of the new recruits who complained.

' Don't blame you man, I would've started tweaking out if I cared for a baby.' I could only thank those who took care of me as I try to bury my embarrassment.

Still, it amazes me that I've been lucky to taken care of by them as I knew it could've been a lot worse.

"Oh my? We've really reincarnated ." A voice from within.

Ah right, one of my three gifts. Mahiru-no-yo, black demon series cursed gear.

Mahiru Hiragi, the demon possessed in the sword and how I've managed to convince her to join me in this journey? I've used every bit of talk-no-jutsu to convince her to join me which miraculously worked.

" Is this the start of a grand journey you spoke of? Getting your diapers changed?" Her laugh echoed in my head.

' Didn't think the He'll send me as an baby.' I could only sigh at my terrible luck.

" Fufu~ you do realize there's going to be consequences for lying."

' I know, and I'll repay it when I awaken the blade.'

" Kuma! Kuma!" A young child shouted as he ran through the door into the library.

" Lucien, here to borrow more books?" The gentle giant asked as he greeted the enthusiastic kid.

" Yeah, I want to read more of the lone samurai in Wano."

Kumo chuckled as he let the child rummage through the library eventually finding the book he was looking for.

" Thanks Kumo, I promise to return it." The boy waved at the giant who nodded in return.

' Now where to pass the time?' The boy questioned himself as he looked for a place to read.

" Lucien!"

" Hm? Sabo? Weren't you training with Hack today?" The boy asked as the Sabo reached him with excitement.

" Haha! Well I've managed to pull Hack's pants down and now I'm getting to train with Dragon!" He said with excitement.

" Pfft! Haha!! You pulled Hack's pants down!? Hahaha!" Lucien laughed with Sabo as he explained in detail about the incident.

After chatting with Sabo, Lucien began walking toward the beach of the island and decided to read in the shade under a tree.

' Boring~ how long are you going to keep doing this?' The voice in his head, for the past seven years has become apart of his daily life.

" I've already talked to Dragon, he's willing to train me when I turn ten. Before that, I need to study this world and its history."

" Hoh~ what's the point of learning history when we both know the world government could manipulate it?" The demon sword asked.

" Because these book, no matter how much time passed, it'll always carry its meaning." The boy smiled as he opened the book.

The demon sword, Mahiru went silent as she let the boy read to her.

Previously, everyone was weirded by how Lucien would place his sword in front of him read aloud to it.

" … And so as it was, the Samurai has forsaken his honor, his clan and himself to save his people from the invaders and took the mantle that shall inspire fear in their hearts."

' Doesn't this remind me of a game I've played before?' The boy tilted his head as he tried to remember before leaving it behind.

" Hmm, it's a good story, still wonder if it's considered history though…"

The boy shut the book closed and picked up the sword.

" Don't disrespect my boy Jin Sakai…ahh."

' I remember…'

The memory finally clicked in place as he remembered the game he played.

' Huh, didn't think I would remember…' the boy thought before walking back to his quarters but before he could enter the building, a loud voice came from behind.

" Luci-Boy!!"

" Ah, Ivankov? Did you come back from a mission?" Lucien asked, greeting the enthusiastic spy bouncing around in excitement.

" I've just returned today!! Wanna hear about it Luci-boy!!"

" Of course!" The boy who craved adventure was quick to accept to hear about Ivankovs stories and her work in kamabakka kingdom which they rule.

There wasn't a dull moment with Ivankov, who's gentle and caring with kids along with their humor since it didn't take long for Lucien to laugh from her jokes or funny stories.

" Luci-boy, do you get tired from reading books everyday? I can talk to dragon-boy to train you early." The concern Ivankov's eyes was genuine.

Lucien recognized and appreciated that concern.

" Thank you Ivankov. But I need to get the approval from Hacks. I can't take any shortcuts to get stronger." Lucien replied which Ivankov aprroved.

" That's the Spirit Luci-Boy!! HEE-HAW!!"

" Pfft! Haha!!"
