Possessing only one summon wasn't sufficient for Kaito's long-term plans. He required additional powerful allies to join his growing network. Today's luck would determine his next strategic asset.
After an entire day of fishing without catching a single fish, Kaito applied the law of conservation of luck: if fortune abandoned him here, it would surely smile elsewhere. Regardless, nothing could prevent him from attempting the hero summoning pool today.
Time to see what the Grand Tale System has in store for me, Kaito thought as he switched the interface to hero pool options. Last time I obtained King Arthur for free—maybe this round will bring someone even more impressive.
One hundred million Infamy Points vanished as the hero pool flashed with a six-pointed star transmission array. A young man with distinctively styled hair materialized before Kaito's eyes.
"I can't be seeing this correctly... how could it be him?"
Eren Yeager
Origin: Attack on Titan
Age: Nineteen Years Old
Talents: Hardening, Flesh Regeneration
Ability: Zoan-type Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Giant (mastery over nine Titan powers)
Just as I suspected, Kaito realized with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. The boy who once shouted "Tatakae!" has grown into a man. Attack on Titan left a tremendous impact during my student years. Though the anime faced censorship later, its popularity never waned.
Now that Eren Yeager had been summoned as a nineteen-year-old, it meant his world-ending rampage had been halted by the alliance forces, and he'd been willingly transported here after Mikasa's final act. He possessed the mature mentality of someone who had experienced ultimate tragedy.
"I'm dead, aren't I? This place is..." Eren looked around in confusion, taking in the unfamiliar seascape.
Throughout his life, the ocean had represented an unavoidable landmark. He'd declared enemies existed beyond the sea, and his unwavering spirit of resistance still moved Kaito upon recollection.
As the hero's master, Kaito provided Eren with a comprehensive introduction to the pirate world while treating him to grilled fish dinner purchased from a neighboring island merchant.
"The Titan power within me has become a Devil Fruit ability," Eren mused thoughtfully. "This means my lifespan won't be shortened anymore. If only Armin could experience this world too."
Eren thought of his closest friend—the idealistic pacifist who had inherited the Colossal Titan's power. First, such transportation could remove Armin's life limitation. Second, Armin would thrive sailing this ocean-dominated world. Unfortunately, that reunion would never occur, nor would he see his beloved Mikasa again.
"By choosing death in your original world, that life ended completely," Kaito explained. "But you'll experience a far more magnificent existence in this reality."
The summon show absolute loyalty to me, yet each retains their individual personality—they're living people. After completing assigned missions, they'll enjoy life in this pirate world as thinking, feeling agents rather than mindless puppets.
Eren possessed the combined power of all nine Titans. When activating his Devil Fruit ability, he could shift between Titan forms at will. Each transformation possessed unique capabilities, with the system enhancing previously inferior forms to useful levels.
Founding Titan: Two primary functions—feeding his blood to humans could transform them into Pure Titans through vocal commands, with probability of creating Abnormal variants. Alternatively, spinal fluid injection could create one of the eight specialized Titan types based on recipient characteristics. All Titans created through either method obeyed Eren absolutely.
Colossal Titan: Transformation into a 60-meter giant capable of releasing superheated steam without consuming physical mass.
Attack Titan: Devouring enemies allowed memory theft and limited future sight of personal events.
Female Titan: Enhanced agility with fastest movement speed and selective abilities from other Titan types.
Armored Titan: Hardened armor coverage with ability to transfer consciousness throughout the body, preventing instant death in human form.
Jaw Titan: Specialized teeth and claws with flight capability.
Beast Titan: Animal transformation varying by individual—monkey, elephant, eagle, or other forms.
War Hammer Titan: Materialization of hardened weapons from thin air with enhanced durability abilities.
Cart Titan: Maximum endurance form capable of maintaining transformation indefinitely with over one hundred consecutive uses.
With abilities like these, if Eren returned to the Attack on Titan world, the alliance forces' explosives would never defeat him. He might actually achieve his happy ending with Mikasa.
In terms of individual combat power, Eren couldn't match Artoria's overwhelming strength, but he functioned more as a weapon of mass warfare. Converting weak allies into Pure Titans, combined with the pirate world's limited firearms technology, created an army nearly impossible to stop through conventional means.
The traditional weakness at Titans' neck napes had been eliminated, replaced by complete body regeneration allowing continuous combat after recovery. Moreover, these Titans would only target humanoid enemies—complete decapitation was required for permanent elimination.
The World Government and Marines research giant transformation, Charlotte Linlin seeks reconciliation with Elbaf, giants remain highly valued in the pirate world—Eren's employment prospects are exceptionally broad.
A young man possessing such indomitable will would never serve the Marines. After learning about this world's power structure, Eren naturally chose to join the pirates.
After all, he'd refused to become anyone's dog in his previous life, even crushing enemy nations with his massive Titan form. Serving the Celestial Dragons in this existence was completely unthinkable.
Therefore, Eren Yeager required a tragic backstory and irreconcilable grudge against the World Government. This foundation was essential for others to accept his sudden appearance without suspicion.
"Time for the plot insertion device again," Kaito muttered. "This tool really is invaluable."
He'd spent 10 million Infamy Points acquiring a plot insertion device from the system store. Its function was extraordinarily powerful—capable of distorting specific individuals' memories and implanting desired false recollections. Completely unreasonable alterations would be rejected, but plausible modifications took hold permanently.
This is a time used device.
The first device had been used on Artoria. Kaito had thoughtfully crafted her identity as a princess from a fallen kingdom.
The fabricated history claimed a small island called "Great Britain" once existed in East Blue, but was completely destroyed by Buggy pirates and erased from history. As the royal family's sole survivor, Artoria had lost all reason to restore her nation since every subject had perished. She'd wandered East Blue to seek her revenge on Buggy.
The Marines and World Government will definitely conduct background investigations on such a powerful individual who appeared suddenly. If her statements don't match their findings, they'll inevitably suspect enemy infiltration. When creating a performance, it must be flawless—no one can detect any inconsistencies.
When Artoria arrived in this world, she harbored no intentions of restoration or governance. Bearing the expectations of an entire deceased population was too heavy a burden for any individual.
Eren Yeager's implanted backstory was equally straightforward. The World Government had committed countless atrocities, especially the infamous tragedy of Flevance—the White Town. All suffering stemmed from pure greed.
Eren would become another survivor of the White Town, following in Trafalgar Law's footsteps...
This manufactured history would provide perfect justification for his hatred of the World Government while explaining his survival abilities and combat experience. The pieces were falling into place for the next phase of Kaito's grand design.
