Chapter 3: New Begining
I woke up in an alleyway in the middle of the night, and instantly my mind was filled with the memories of a 10-year-old quirkless orphan also named Allan, his parents were here on a road trip and they tragically died in a car accident when the kid was 5.
In the memories of the old Alan, there were only his parents. And no one from his immediate family ever reached out to him, so I could only assume he didn't have any.
That worked out for me, getting attached to someone would be quite hard, after all, this body may be young but my soul was certainly not, even before wandering endlessly between stars I was already 27.
As for why I was in an alleyway, Old Allan was left here to die after being stabbed by a random villain. The villain was probably just a random psycho, I should at least strive to avenge this body's former host, thankfully I remember his face in detail, as panicked as the child was during those moments I can analyze the memories easily.
As for why a child would be wandering the streets this late, in short, he was a victim of bullying, the kids at the orphanage managed to lock him out for the night, by locking the main gate. The wall was too big for a child to climb, the old lady managing it probably didn't notice, it wasn't unusual, making sure every child was in his place is the job of our groups' supervisor, who is also a bully.
The old Allan wasn't strong-willed as he was just a child. While other children can be cruel at least the old lady at the orphanage was kind, but she couldn't do much to stop the bullying, even if she noticed it.
But that's enough looking into the past for now, as I started getting up I spread my Observation Haki as far as I could around me, which was about 20 meters, I was being limited by my body. However, even this much was a lot, considering the fact that I was still 10 years old.
I didn't need to worry about running out of willpower while using it, my soul could spread its perception extremely far away, taking in countless amounts of information at a time. Now 20 meters was my limit.
The next thing I tried doing was turning into light, the concept of using powers didn't come naturally to me, after all, I come from a world where such things can only appear in fiction. But surprisingly all I needed to do was to will my body to turn into light. As I stared at it my clenched fist turns into a yellow glow.
As I moved my hand, my eyes could barely keep up with it. For some reason, the light wasn't blinding me it was calming really. After experimenting for a while, turning different bodyparts into light and moving at high speeds(I banged my head on a few walls obviously) I managed to get accustomed to my speed.
Just like Kizaru, the Pika Pika No Mi was too strong for my brain to follow which wasn't used to moving at such speeds. The speed and surplus of information were hard to keep up with, it was here that I realised one of the problems with this power.
God had said he would integrate the power in this world, which meant that he turned the devil fruit into a quirk, which could be copied and/or stolen by other quirks. So I needed to be cautious against those types of quirks.
On another note, the quirk worked exactly as a logia devil fruit would, while banging my head on walls earlier I didn't get injured at all. Meaning I don't need to worry about any conventional methods of attack, besides quirk suppressing bullets.
Leaving the alleyway I started heading towards my temporary home, the orphanage. I doubt I would be able to find my killer anytime soon, I will familiarize myself with my own power before hunting him down.
As I reached the orphanage I simply turn into light and go into a straight line above the brick wall, then right towards the ground, my landing kicked up a bit of dust, thankfully I wasn't injured at all, props of having a logia as a quirk.
The door to the dorms was always unlocked, going towards my dorm room quietly and slipping into bed wasn't hard, Observation Haki helped a bit, using it navigating in the dark was simple.
As I reached my bed I slip into dreamland, my mind being just as tired as my little body.
