Cyber blood. Prologue.
*An Anime twist on Detroit become human, and the crime show Blue Bloods.*
Description: In a world where CyberLife dominates the tech industry with its revolutionary anime android lineup, reality and fiction blur like never before. Y/n, a plus-size, mentally ill, and struggling drug addict, spends her days at a dead-end job, feeling the ever-present weight of being watched. But one night, upon returning to her crumbling apartment, she finds an enormous 6’7 package from CyberLife waiting at her doorstep. Inside stands Dracule Mihawk, the legendary swordsman, now reborn as an artificial intelligence with piercing golden eyes and an unwavering presence. At first, Mihawk is merely another product, an expensive collector’s item brought to life. But as he observes Y/n’s fractured world—her poverty, her addiction, and the shadows clawing at her sanity—he makes a choice no android was programmed to make: he will carve his own path. Determined to protect the woman fate has bound him to, Mihawk takes an unlikely job in the real world—as a detective. Teaming up with the cynical yet brilliant Vincent Corneals and the resourceful investigator Ming Rodrigo, Mihawk throws himself into the dark underbelly of human crime. Their mission? To uncover the truth behind a chilling case that shakes the foundations of both the organic and artificial world: "Does Cyber Blood Live?" As androids begin exhibiting unexplained emotions, free will, and perhaps even something akin to a soul, Mihawk and his team are thrust into a conspiracy that threatens to rewrite existence itself. But as he battles criminals, corruption, and his own growing sense of self, Mihawk faces the most dangerous mystery of all: What does it mean to be truly alive?

Before the story begins:
-I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE, DETROIT BECOME HUMAN, OR BLUE BLOODS. THEY BELONG TO THE CREATORS.
-THE ONE PIECE CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY ARE THE ANDROIDS BEING FOCUSED ON INTO THE STORY. NONE OF THE ORIGINAL DETROIT BECOME HUMAN CHARACTERS WILL BE IN THIS BOOK. THE ONLY CHARACTER REALLY IN THIS STORY WILL BE THE FOUNDER OF CYBER LIFE. ELIJA.
-Anyways. Enjoy the prologue of my newest book!

The city never really slept anymore. Not since CyberLife changed the world.
Detective Vincent Corneals sat at the far end of the dimly lit precinct, his broad shoulders hunched over a stack of case files that all blurred together in a haze of bad coffee and worse decisions. The overhead fluorescents flickered with an uneasy hum, as if the building itself was as exhausted as he was.
“Android-related crime rates are up another thirty percent this month,” Ming Rodrigo muttered beside him, flipping through her own stack of reports. She was younger, sharper in the way rookies still had hope left in their bones, but even she was starting to sound tired. “Ever since they were given full freedom rights, it’s been one case after another—murders, thefts, disappearances. Shit, even the mafia’s getting in on the action. Using androids as hired muscle now. Bulletproof, no DNA to trace, no family to rat them out.”
Vincent grunted, rubbing his temple. “You’d think giving them ‘human rights’ would’ve made things better, not worse.”
