In the year 1492 of the Sea Circle Calendar,
Duramus Island, an ordinary small island located in the first half of the New World.
"Hey, Jesse, you don't want word to get out that you're eight years old and still wet the bed, do you?"
In a messy alley, a little boy with long black hair and a naked upper body was looking at the runny-nosed kid in front of him with a wicked smile on his face.
A few angry little brats in the distance also glared at the long-haired boy.
"Hey? I washed it before dawn, how did you know..." Jesse, the little brat with a runny nose, quickly covered his mouth halfway through his words, as if he was afraid that his friends in the distance would hear him.
"I said it a long time ago, nothing in the world can escape my eyes."
He snatched the few hundred Berry pocket money from the little brat's hand, put it in his pocket, and walked away laughing under Jesse's angry eyes.
After he left, a few children dared to come over to comfort Jesse who had been robbed, cursing angrily,
"Damn it, this guy! I'm going to take revenge on him when I grow up!"
"Yeah, this guy Ronan is always stealing our pocket money. I'm going to give him a good beating if I get a chance."
But there were also some children who were more rational and just looked at the long-haired figure walking away with a bitter look on their faces.
"This kind of thing is impossible no matter how hard you try. The mayor has already said that Ronan killed a wild boar when he was six years old. He is..."
As he spoke, there was a hint of fear in the child's eyes, and he seemed to recall the words his parents had warned him.
"A natural born monster!"
…
"Good, another five hundred berries have come in, so I can buy two more newspapers."
Ronan opened the door happily.
This is the ninth year since Ronan came to the world of One Piece. Abandoned since birth and raised by the old mayor, Ronan has long been accustomed to this new and strange world.
However, he was still far from seeing the truly vast side of the world, so he had been actively buying newspapers from the News Coo to learn about the major events happening on the sea.
Today, as usual, he was going home to have lunch, but for some reason, the old mayor was not at home.
He looked around and saw no one, so he frowned and looked towards the door of the neighboring house, as if he was carefully feeling something. After a moment, he shook his head.
"That's not right. The widow next door doesn't have it either."
Probably he was out drinking wine, so Ronan didn't think much about it. He just found some bread and ham from the kitchen and started eating it while sitting on a chair.
While eating, I read the newspaper I just bought today.
"The remnants of Rocks D. Xebec are developing their own forces, among whom are Shiki the Golden Lion, Whitebeard and others..."
Nothing much to note, but to be honest, young Charlotte Linlin was really pretty.
Looking at the curvy figure in the newspaper, Ronan sighed secretly while chewing, and then continued to look down.
"The Roger Pirates are suspected to be on Sardinia Island."
The living Pirate King, Ronan sighed as he chewed, then continued to look down.
The next news is...
etc!
Ronan's mouth movement suddenly stopped, as if he felt something was wrong, and then he suddenly looked at the news about Roger's pirate group. He didn't even notice that the bread in his mouth fell to the ground, and he was stunned for a moment!
Sardinia Island?
Isn't that the island dozens of miles away?
Oh shit!
At this time, Roger has not yet reached Raftel, and he is not yet the Pirate King!
unbelievable!
Ronan's eyes widened, and in just a few seconds, a very bold decision came into his mind!
"I waited for almost thirty years in my previous life, but still couldn't figure out what One Piece was. Doesn't this mean I have a chance to see it now?"
If I could join the Roger Pirates...
What is this called?
One Piece?
The great treasure that ordinary pirates have been searching for their entire lives, but he found it just two years after he went to sea?
When Ronan thought of this, he became excited.
Not to mention, Roger's crew is made up of world-class masters, and just learning a few moves from them would be enough to make them the final boss of a movie.
The secondary thing is the status bonus. Didn't you see that even Buggy in the future was looked up to everywhere because of his identity as a member of Roger's crew?
Do it when you think of it.
"Old man, I'm going to join the Roger Pirates. I'll repay you for your kindness in raising me when I return home in glory!"
Write a goodbye note,
Carrying a stick on his shoulder with a bag tied to the end, Ronan made up his mind that when he became a big man, he would come back to repay the folks who raised him.
"When the time comes, I'll take all the stray dogs in the village to those great kingdoms to serve as police dogs. They'll also eat a share of the royal food. That's quite considerate, right?"
Ronan immediately packed up the few belongings of the old mayor's family and ran towards the dock, walking briskly all the way.
…
at the same time,
A huge ship with a gorgeous red and gold pointed bow and two mermaid statues carved on the bow officially docked at the largest pier in Duramus Island.
At the bow, a captain-like man stood there steadily.
He is wearing a red coat and a captain's hat. Under his iconic mustache is a heroic smile that belongs only to the strong. His natural kingly aura radiates.
"Extraordinary bearing, domineering aura, worthy of being the top powerhouse of the sea."
Just by perception, Ronan could already understand the abyss-like gap between his own strength and that of the other party.
This is the Pirate King - Gol D. Roger!
At present, he and his companions have experienced the great battle of the God Valley, and are sailing around, searching for the four lost historical texts, and embarking on their final adventure.
Today, he has not suffered from an incurable disease and is enjoying the freedom of the sea and traveling.
At the dock, members of Roger's pirate group disembarked one after another. Their only purpose in passing through this place was to replenish supplies.
But among this group of big men, Shanks and Buggy walked through it, looking out of place.
Those are Shanks and Buggy.
One has red hair and the other has a red nose.
"Who are you calling Red Nose? Say it again if you dare." Young Buggy was furious, his face flushed red with anger.
"No one said you had a red nose, Buggy," Shanks said helplessly as he jumped off the deck and adjusted his straw hat that was blown up by the wind. "I can sense it even without making any sound. Is your Observation Haki a red nose?"
"No, someone must have said it. This feeling can't be wrong!"
Buggy clenched his fists and shouted loudly, then looked around and suddenly saw a figure running towards him from a distance, "Hey, is that you, kid?"
"Hahahahahaha... Sassy, Buggy, Shanks!"
Ronan ran over while smiling and greeting.
