Meanwhile, elsewhere.
The first half of the Grand Line.
Amazon Lily.
This island, located in the Calm Belt, is known as the Daughter Island.
At this moment, within the Kuja Palace.
The captain of the Kuja Pirates, Empress Boa Hancock, was frowning deeply as she looked at the "Rosen's Sailing Diary (Boa Hancock's Copy)."
"In the diary, my exact height is recorded!"
"Even my three measurements are written accurately!"
"Could it be that the diary's owner is really a transmigrator?!"
Boa Hancock murmured, her voice filled with both shock and fury.
She had always been confident that no one could spy on her under the perception of her Observation Haki.
"He dares to say he wants me as his wife?"
"What a bold man."
"If I ever find out where he is..."
"I'll tear him limb from limb!"
"Hmm?! The mark on my back?!"
"He... he knows what's on my back…"
Hancock's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the diary in her hand.
"Sister, what's going on?"
At that moment, Boa Sandersonia walked into the room, confused by Hancock's sudden exclamation.
"Sandersonia, this…"
Hancock turned around, about to tell her sister about Rosen's sailing diary.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of dread descended upon her heart.
It felt as if the moment she spoke about the diary, she would surely die.
"Sister, what are you trying to say?"
"There's nothing on the desk?"
Sandersonia stepped forward, looked at Hancock, then glanced at the place Hancock had been staring at.
"You… can't see it, Sandersonia?"
"Sister, I don't really understand what you're talking about?"
"It's alright, just leave for now, Sandersonia. I need to be alone."
"Alright, but if you need anything, just call me."
Though still puzzled, since Hancock insisted, Sandersonia could only choose to leave.
"A mysterious diary."
"A strange man."
"Where in the world is this guy?"
Hancock frowned and spoke.
At this moment, her heart was filled with countless questions about Rosen and the diary.
If she knew where Rosen was, she would've already ordered the Kuja Pirates to go find him.
After calming down a bit, Hancock turned to the next page of the diary.
[The Empress Boa Hancock is in the Calm Belt of the first half of the Grand Line.]
[There's no way to meet her right now.]
[For now, I need to focus on getting revenge on that man suspected to be Captain Nezumi.]
[Even though he fired under orders from the Celestial Dragons, the moment he fired that cannon, he should've been ready to pay with his life.]
[Not just Captain Nezumi, but also that Celestial Dragon, Saint Shalulia. She deserves revenge too.]
["Return kindness, avenge grudges"—this is the motto my parents left me when they were alive on Blue Star.]
[It's also the only thing I brought from my parents into this world.]
[No matter what, I can't abandon this principle.]
[So, that grudge against Saint Shalulia—I will definitely avenge it!]
"Heh, planning to take revenge on the Celestial Dragons?"
"Even if it's just written in a diary, he has some nerve."
Hancock sneered but didn't believe Rosen would really go through with revenge on the Celestial Dragons.
After all, she too had dreamed countless times about getting revenge on them.
But because of the World Government's might, those thoughts had stayed dreams.
As for action—she never dared take any.
[Although the Celestial Dragons have an Admiral to back them, if someone harms them, an Admiral will surely be dispatched.]
[But I have the system behind me. I'll become stronger soon. Even against an Admiral, I'll eventually have the power to stand toe-to-toe.]
[Hehe, Saint Shalulia, you'll regret firing at me.]
[When it comes to revenge, I believe in repaying tenfold, even a hundredfold.]
"Tenfold? Hundredfold?"
"This man is quite something."
"Does he want to capture a Celestial Dragon and torture them slowly?"
Hancock shook her head, more convinced Rosen was just joking in his diary.
[Just killing Saint Shalulia would be too easy on her.]
[Come to think of it, she is quite pretty.]
[When the time comes, I'll capture her and mate with her.]
[Then, I wonder if the Celestial Dragons will still recognize her as one of their own after she's been defiled by a "commoner."]
[Or better yet, get her pregnant?]
Crack!
Hancock, about to drink water, crushed her cup in shock at what she just read.
"Make... make a Celestial Dragon bear a 'commoner's' child?!"
Hancock's body trembled, and deep inside, a part of her actually wanted to see that scene.
Once upon a time, the Celestial Dragons had subjected her and her sisters to countless punishments.
If she could see the Celestial Dragons punished in ways they'd hate most, she'd be the first to approve.
[Almost forgot, back then there was a male Celestial Dragon with Shalulia. I think his name was Saint Charlmak.]
[That guy also gave orders to the accompanying Marines.]
[It's decided! The punishment for the female Celestial Dragon is pregnancy by a human.]
[As for that Saint Charlmak, I'll slice him a thousand times and toss him to the fish.]
"..." Hancock fell silent.
"If you can really do that, I might just forgive the disrespectful things you wrote in the diary."
East Blue.
Over the open sea.
Rosen was floating above the water, using the power of the "Sailing Diary System," and was recording his journey with his mind on the diary panel.
"Damn Celestial Dragons."
"Good thing I can swim."
"Otherwise, I'd have drowned before even getting eaten by sea creatures."
"It's such a shame, though, my expensive rented speedboat…"
"I hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the ocean world before the Celestial Dragons ordered it destroyed."
Thinking of the speedboat he brought over from Blue Star when he transmigrated, Rosen couldn't help but feel the sting of loss.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You've recorded enough content for today. The "Sailing Diary System" is now fully activated.]
[By writing daily entries, you'll receive points.]
[Points can be used in lotteries with rewards such as: "Armament Haki Awakening Potion," "Observation Haki Awakening Potion," "Conqueror's Haki Awakening Potion," "Skills," "Dimensional Character Templates," etc.]
[Congratulations, you've received the Beginner Gift Pack — Yoriichi Tsugikuni Template (Full Form)!]
[By using this template, you'll obtain all of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's power, experience, skills, etc.]
"Finally, I made it."
"Now I don't have to worry about drowning due to exhaustion."
"Or getting eaten by sharks or Sea Kings."
The heavenly notification in his mind sent a jolt through Rosen's heart.
Though he had acted calm while writing, he had actually been worried.
After all, he was stranded in the middle of a vast, endless sea.
Even his speedboat, laptop, and food brought from Blue Star were all gone.
To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
Rosen shook his head, calmed himself, and mentally touched the "Yoriichi Tsugikuni Template (Full Form)" on the panel.
Then, a video introducing Yoriichi's power appeared before his eyes.
More precisely, it was a video of Yoriichi using Sun Breathing to slay Muzan Kibutsuji.
"That's badass!"
"Slashing over a thousand times in a moment."
"Even in the high-powered world of One Piece…"
"Yoriichi's power is still pretty impressive."
Rosen's lips curled into a smile as he activated the template.
Soon, a beam of light enveloped Rosen.
His physique rapidly improved, and Rosen felt as if he was surrounded by fire.
Moments later, Rosen opened his eyes again, and a sharp gleam shot out.
Compared to before, he was now a completely different person.
"So this is Yoriichi's power…"
Rosen muttered, looking at the Nichirin Blade given by the system, then at his reflection in the sea.
"Yoriichi's natural marks haven't appeared."
"Looks like the marks only show when I actively use their power."
"Transparent World isn't activated either."
"That's good. This way, I won't see everyone as walking skeletons and muscle diagrams."
After examining his appearance and new power, Rosen nodded to himself.
"With this power, dealing with Captain Nezumi is more than easy."
"But that Celestial Dragon might still have other experts with them."
"Still, I have to go and take a look."
"Wonder if I can still catch up to their fleet."
Rosen looked in the direction where the Celestial Dragons had sailed.
Because of their speed, the fleet had long vanished from the endless sea.
Taking a deep breath, Rosen recorded the latest entry in the system diary.
Then, he swung his arms rapidly, turning into a blur as he swam toward the horizon.
At this moment, Rosen had no idea that after writing the video description of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's power into the diary, a large number of women with diary copies were completely stunned.
