《Why Did I do This to Myself?!? (One Piece Fanfic)》I Should Run But...

----------- 12 days earlier ------------
The light buzzing of chatter enters my ears from somewhere nearby. Coming into semi-conscious state I become aware of the dim lighting hitting my eyes I move my hand to block it, doing so lazily.
Shifting away from the light source I roll onto my side and proceed pass out once more.
.
.
.
Moving my hand to feel what I'm currently laying on and feel a mattress. Cool, that normal. Satisfied I let sleep consume me.
Wait...
Since when did I sleep in a bed?
Sitting up confused, I look around the red tinted room... Oh, nevermind I'm just wearing my mask, but ignoring my stupidity. Where am I right now?
The room has a fairly simple layout, kinda reminds me of the room provided to the marine grunts but fancier. Taking a closer look at everything around me, it becomes clear that whoever designed this room did so masterfully.
Like damn!
How the hell did I end up here??? Like, I've been kidnapped before and it's never been this nice!! Who did I provoke?
Ok, calm down. So what I know is I'm in a very nice room, I don't even know if whoever owns this place has bad intentions! I could be in a hotel or something, nothing to get freaked out about.
Having the urge to look around I come across a dilemma. I'm really comfortable right now...
Deciding that I rather go back to sleep and deal with the problem later, I shove all my panic into a corner of my brain to deal with at a later date. Sleep is more important to my health at the moment anyway.
------------ 5 days later ------------
Nothing crazy has happened the last few days. While I'm asleep something leaves me food, not that I'm complaining it's pretty good. A concerning thing is the door and window are locked, sure I could break the door down but that wouldn't be very smart. Especially after realizing I'm on a ship.

I've used haki to check stuff out and concluded that this is bad. From what I can tell I'm somewhere in the new world which is concerning in itself, that becomes worse when there are people with powerful auras on this ship. I don't want to deal with haki users damnit!
But the worst thing that has happened by far is I'm crazy board! The room I've been confined to has nothing to do in it and they took all of my lovely, entertaining objects. Sure they didn't find the mini bombs I hide on my person, but you can only take those apart to resemble so many times.
So at the moment I'm trying to take the doors hinges off. I know I said about breaking the door a causing a ruckus, but I'm just gonna get a pack of cards from my bag and fix the door...
No one will be the wiser, it's late and everyone's asleep I think. Carefully removing the door from its frame, I leaned it agents a wall in my room.
Looking around the new area I decided to play it safe a bring down my presence. Walking down the hallway I can't help but appreciate how clean the floors are, especially since I'm barefoot. I would of worn my shoes but those tend to make more noise then going without them.
Being the easily distracted person I am, my arm brushes against something but I pay it no mind, to wrapped up in how nice the ship is. I have a few ship's myself but there not as nice as this one. Or I'm just so bored that I'm noticing every little detail.
Turning a corner abruptly, I continue twords my bag. Something I've done to make my life easier is put a tracker on my important items. Yes, haki is great for mapping out areas, but it doesn't tell you where specific inanimate objects are. The only bad thing is that my irritating machine beeps faster the closer I am to my thing... Science nonsense i don't wanna explain- point is, it gives me a headache.

Entering a room full of crates, I walk over to one twords the back. Reaching my desired crate I try to pry off the top, quickly realizing I should get a crowbar. Spinning on my heal I walk into something squishy.
Taking a step back to catch my balance, I look at the thing I walked into. "Whut???"
Looking straight forward, my eye traced up it's figure- "Wait, are you wearing sunglasses?" I say pointing at there face.
My stance relaxes as I look up to the head of this person. It's really dark in this room and the only reason I haven't tripped so far is because I can make out shapes. Is this person ok? I don't know.
The next few moments proceeded as follows:
-my arm was grabbed
-im in the air now?
-back on floor but in pain.
This man flung me OVER his shoulder like a rag doll. Lucky for me my body automatically covers area of impact with armament haki, I still feel the force of impact though.
For the soul purpose of not wanting to fight, I let my body go limp and put my energy into observation haki. I can try to get my playing cards later, I just have to not tense when this person drags me back to the room.
Actually... Now that I can 'look' at this person in all there glory, I recognize them? I can't remember there name but I recognize that outlandish outfit. I'm pretty sure they showed up in one of one pieces important arks, it's that bonet. I'm sure I've seen it before.
They pick me up by the collar of my shirt, then look at the damage to the floor. This guy threw me and messed up the floor without trying! Damn.
After I was thrown over his shoulder I stopped paying attention to what was happening to my body, someone was playing poker and I was watching this dude get destroyed. Wish I could join in, stupid being held prisoner.
-------------
Don't fold! His hand is trash, you could win all your berri back! Suddenly I feel myself get slapped and loose focus on the people playing poker. "Damnit!"
Opening my eyes I quickly realized a couple thing. 1, this room is super sketchy. 2, I'm in a bind. Literally.
"Uhhh... Hello?" The guy form earlier is in the room along with another person that is taller and in a leotard for some reason.
The guy that's still wearing sunglasses inside takes a pacifier out of his mouth. "Were going to ask you some questions. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way." The aura these people gave off was giving me the urge to punch someone in the face.
"Ok."

"You fool. You complete idiot! Stop trying to turn this into go fish!"
"Got any sevens?"
"Please stop. Please..." Hell.

8 153[Conquerors Of The Delve] [Abandoned]
28-year-old Lucian was a smart and hard-worker, having put aside enough money since joining a family friend's company at the age of 16. But with the company now bankrupt, and no way of earning a scholarship, he finds himself not employed, educated or in training. While browsing the web, one thing consistently popped up, overshadowing all else. An Augmented VReality game, a dungeon delver residing inside an Open World MMORPG. A game that granted the players a hand in the game's geography, architecture and community, allowing them to build their own world. The economy was also interchangeable with real currency. Items could be freely sold and bought, with both in-game money and real-life e-cash. But what truly caught his attention were the game rules. For they allowed him to be what he wanted to be and do what he wanted to do without any real-life repercussions. Kill, Rape and Pillage. The only people who could stop you were players who possessed the ability to do so.
