Now that he knew what the devil fruit was, Alexander had to switch to the main course.

Gold: 521 |
Most of his remaining gold will be spent once he makes this purchase, but it was necessary.
While tapping his finger on the corner of his desk, Alexander was deep in thought, he wanted to make sure he didn’t forget anything before making this purchase.
Even after thinking for a while, he didn’t find anything he could have overlooked.
“Alright, let’s do this.”
With those words he selected the item, when he was asked for confirmation, he didn’t lose time and confirmed.
The world faded to darkness.
When Alexander woke up, he found himself in a world made of snow, there was a dense fog all around, hindering his vision further than a few meters.
Even when he looked all around, nothing was seen, only endless snow.
“What are you looking for?”
Alexander jumped at the unknown cold voice behind him.
Facing that side, he meets face to face with a woman, she had short white hair and her skin was deathly pale, her empty eyes were fixed on him.
He could feel a deep connection with this woman, the feeling came from deep inside himself.
“You are my Zanpakuto?”, Asked Alexander.
“Not yet, you have to find me first.”
She replied, Alexander remembered that Ichigo too, had to find his Zanpakuto to awaken his Shinigami powers.
Alexander wanted to ask more but she disappeared without trace, there was only fog and snow around him, it was impossible to find his Zanpakuto like this. Alexander recalled what Ichigo did in the anime, he had to use his soul to feel the presence of his Zanpakuto, but he didn’t know how to do that.
Having no other choice, he sat on the snowy ground, closed his eyes and tried to sense his surroundings, despite the snow he didn’t feel cold at all.
Time passed and he didn’t have any luck, he didn’t know what to look for, the snow covered his body and despite not feeling the cold he started to crave warmth, it was then that he felt something, it was warmth, there was something that radiated warmth somewhere in the distance.
Opening his eyes, he sat up and began walking in that direction, he walked and walked for a long time, but his steps were steady, his focus was all on that warmth.
He didn’t know for how long he walked, but after a long time, he found the source of the warmth, it was right beneath him, under the snow. Without losing any time, Alexander started to dig with his bare hands.
To his surprise, he didn’t have to dig deep, just after he removed a thin layer of snow, he touched something, after he removed more snow he found the handle of a sword, it was the handle of a two handed weapon, long enough to be held with two hands easily.
Alexander held the handle with both his hands and tried to take it out of the snow, he put too much force, expecting it to be hard to take out, but it wasn’t hard at all, the sword didn’t have any weight in his hands.
The sword came out instantly and he found himself holding a Greatsword, its design was simple, the same as you would expect to of a beginner weapon in a starting village, only it’s edge looked really sharp.
“Ready your weapon.”
Alexander was scared out of his pants, he turned to the voice behind him and saw that woman, his Zanpakuto, there.
Before he could say anything, he sensed danger and he barely blocked the slash from the white woman, he didn’t know when but she new held the same weapon as him.
There was no time to ask any question as he could just barely react in time to defend from her barrage.
Despite his high stats he couldn’t overwhelm her in any way, what was even more worrying was that his Hyper Focus ability didn’t activate.
He struggled to barely defend himself and had no opportunity to attack, he also couldn’t use his devil fruit.
That was because he was now in the world within himself, this was the same as when Ichigo awakened his shinigami powers and his real power didn’t matter here, only willpower and comprehension mattered.
The battle lasted for a long time, Alexander improved faster than he expected, his Zanpakuto attacked all his weak points helping him improve in the right areas.
The Greatsword may be a slow weapon, but its might was overwhelming, he could switch between offense and defense very easily, the huge body of the Greatsword was the best shield.
Time passed and one day he finally managed to launch a counterattack, it took her by surprise, but she still deflected it.
“That’s all for now, you did a good job but next time it won’t be so easy.”
She said those words while looking in his eyes, the trace of a smile could be seen on her lips.
“What is your name?”
Alexander hoped to learn her name to advance to the first release, Shikai.
“You know my name, it is ********.”
He wasn’t able to hear it; it seems that he had ways to go before reaching that stage.
Before he could ask anything else, he found himself back at his desk.
Honestly, bringing in Shinigami here is annoying to me, and turning me away from this story.
Write it any way you want, don't get me wrong, I'm just sharing my opinions.
It seems that everything the system had to offer so far was either from the one piece world, or generic, so shinigami seems out of place. Not to mention he can already access pills that can give someone armament haki already at the hardening level (where the haki actually coalesces into a physical black coating), and use multiple devil fruits, apparently, so adding in shinigami seems like it'll throw out what little power balance there was.
It could be argued that you could limit multiple devil fruit usage, but that'd be boring. I want to see how you make different devil fruits interact, and combine, and see what reactions you give characters when your MC does this impossible thing to them, instead of "he's dressed weird, now he's more powerful."
Like, what's next? Going to have him buy mangekyo sharingan followed by 99 insight from bloodborne (or is there only anime related stuff?)? 101 super powered bullsh*t eyes, yay.
Then Hellsing style true ancestor vampire, mix it with black blood from Soul Eater, wretched egg style branch of sin from Deadman Wonderland, and that vile blood bullsh*t Lady Maria uses to ignite her blood in Bloodborne, and you've got yourself an unstoppable, bleeding, killing machine.
Yay. All it took was ~ 6 months of grinding evil pirates' lives, and now your MC, you, and your audience are bored with the story.
Sorry, I definitely went off on a bit of a tangent, and probably sound way too harsh.
It's just that I really like your story, and dont want to see it go in a bad direction.
Again, I'm definitely being way too harsh, you do you.
I agree, I would also prefer if we would stick to one franchise, it's like getting all classes and skills in an rpg, sure at first it sounds exiting but it gets boring pretty fast. But maybe author has a Grand Plan and it will be turn out kind of balanced.
I wonder... can he use both the devil fruit and the Zanpakuto?... Also it would be way to funny if to use Zanpakuto he must leave his body and have it fall like a marionette lol... though funny i hope it dosnt happens and he can use his shinigami powers with his body and has no need to take out his soul like in the manga. Maybe he can choose to do so but he wont be able to use his devil fruit powers, it may be useful for spionage since no normal person could see him (unless observation haki works on shinigamis lol)
its good mc didn't become a shinigami in an instant and he didn't learn his zanpakuto's name too early. I really like different anime powers in fanfic in my opinion tbh but not too much I think Bleach and One Piece is already enough. Thnx for the chapter.
I wish we get to see nami soon, the One Piece part is very good it mixes well with all we know from one piece, using Joker and other known characters and placing them rightfully into the story, but then.... shinigami got nothing to do with it, he already got haki and akuma ni mi, he should focus in this part, if it is really necessary to have a sword he could somehow find a cursed sword like the ones Zoro own and start training with it or using pills to get bet at it faster, he really don't need a zanpakutou, the shinigami thing don't mix well at all with this world. I remember reading bleach until before the last arc, it was very good but got nothing to do with one piece world and each manga had very different tones...
Umm I am pretty much clueless about bleach and shinigami, can someone please tell me the gist of it? :p
Basically, they are soul reapers who use a weapon called zanpakuto. To be a shinigami, one must die and enter Soul Society and have sufficient Reiatsu(Soul Energy). But Ichigo(Bleach MC) is an exemption since his father is a Shinigami but mother is not. Later on, Rukia, a real Shinigami, transfered her Reiatsu to Ichigo, which then trigered his Shinigami awakening....As for his Zanpakuto, it was later revealed that his zanpakuto was not his real zanpakuto, but something the Quincy King made up. To have a real zanpakuto, he needed it to be forged, which was done in the final arc. Obviously, the author won't go with that but just directly give MC with the zanpakuto through 'System Magic' but that's good enough. Anyway, this is OP fanfic not Bleach fanfic.
That depends on how the author will use the shinigami powers. You can think of it like your soul gets stronger and gets a sword soulbounded with your soul that has a personification that you can interact with while meditating. The sword has a basic from called shikai. Awakened form zenpakuto. That can take any form andna bankai that its a power up. ...
The issue is that in bleach. To use your shinigami powers your soul must be taken outside the body thus leaving an empty shell. To resolve this in the manga they out a soul doll inside meanwhile... but i dont think itnwill work on this
