Zhou Ning was quite dissatisfied with the last transmigration process, feeling it was too ordinary.
The One Piece World is different from the previous two urban worlds; it has a bit of a dog-eat-dog feel, and if possible, he hoped it could be a bit more aggressive.
"Transmigration preparation in progress… Transmigration Coins -25"
"Please select transmigration mode…"
"1. Direct transmigration."
"2. Transmigrate using a parallel world template."
With a huge sum of nearly 1000 vikta, Zhou Ning declared that he was not short on money, and this time, if a good template appeared, he would buy it directly.
Two days had passed since the last transmigration, and the previous 3 templates—Extreme Villain, Basketball Superstar, and Demon Doctor—had already been refreshed.
Three new templates appeared.
The first was himself, looking fierce, holding a longsword, shirtless, wearing a red cape, with exaggerated pectoral muscles; his personality was fierce and warlike.
His talents were Stronger as the Fight Progresses (Blue), Leonidas (Purple), and Enduring Patience (Blue); his skills were Swordsmanship (Expert) and Hand-to-Hand Combat (Expert).
The title was Spartan Warrior Zhou Ning, and the transmigration price was 15 Transmigration Coins.
Too mediocre, nothing exciting.
What would be the point of transmigrating to the One Piece World with this template? To guard Thermopylae?
The second template was a rerun, a fire-elemental superpower user worth 250 Transmigration Coins, Blazing City Zhou Ning, still unaffordable...
The third was himself, looking like a lazy fish, bald, wearing yellow clothes, red gloves, and a white cape; his personality was calm and low-key.
His talents were none; his skills were Secret Training Method (God-tier), Normal Punch Series (God-tier), and Serious Series (God-tier).
The title was One-Punch Man Zhou Ning, and the transmigration price was a terrifying 2000 Transmigration Coins.
Goodbye!
Zhou Ning, who was clearly very wealthy, still shed tears of poverty.
Only option 1.
"Do you want to spend one more Transmigration Coin to re-match talents?"
No, the previous three talents were pretty good, and there should be hope of clearing the game.
"You have selected Talent 1, Talent 6, and Talent 9."
"Your current talents are: Mermaid, Medical Doctor, Old Grandpa; constant talents are Tony Stark, Sports Genius."
"Match successful. Your parallel self is a playboy, a genius in scientific research, and extremely versatile; at 20, he obtained a Medical Doctor degree and a national swimming championship.
You possess an antique-looking ring, a curio you stumbled upon at a street stall."
"Current world exploration progress is 21.8%. When world exploration reaches 66.7%, you will have permission to unlock the next map."
"When you die in the simulation, the game ends."
"Taking the time machine… 1%… 33%… 65%… 95%… Swoosh… Transmigration complete."
"You have transmigrated to the high seas in the year 1516.
From this moment on, the wheels of history begin to turn."
"July 1, 1516: You are adrift on the boundless ocean, with only a piece of driftwood to cling to.
You have nothing, no food or drink, only a ring on your finger.
You try to communicate with Roger in the ring, but there is no response.
You realize you might need to prepare more food for him."
"July 2, 1516: Having already possessed the Armament Haki cultivation method, you realize that swimming is also a form of training.
The marine life in this ocean is abundant, and you prepare a large amount of food.
Sure enough, by night, the food begins to decrease."
"July 4, 1516: Today is the fourth day of drifting.
It rained a bit, and you collected a large amount of rainwater.
You had planned to endure a few more days, but to your surprise, you actually discovered an island in the distance."
"July 6, 1516: You spent two days swimming to the island.
It is a village full of windmills.
The islanders are warm and friendly, but there is one child who is not so cute, and that's you, Luffy!"
"July 8, 1516: With your sharp medical skills, you cured the Foosha Village chief's acute illness.
Through his help, you temporarily settled in Foosha Village and opened a small clinic.
However, compared to treating patients, you are more concerned with physical training, after all, a man should strive for self-improvement."
"July 12, 1516: You had read a few novels such as 'Village Doctor' and 'Country Doctor' in your previous life.
Now, it has come true.
With your playboy skills and handsome looks, you began a romantic relationship with Makino, the bar owner.
Although there were rumors in your previous life that she had a child with Red-Haired Shanks, you are certain there isn't one now.
Additionally, there's good news today: your Old Grandpa has finally awakened.
That's right, it's still that amnesiac Death row inmate."
"July 13, 1516: Although your first meeting with Luffy was unpleasant, under Makino's mediation, you still became friends.
Ace also became a friend.
Roger tells you he feels an inexplicable sense of closeness to Ace.
Well, isn't that obvious? One is a big-headed son, and the other is a small-headed father!"
"July 15, 1516: At Roger's request, you sparred with Ace once.
You were undoubtedly thrashed, but Roger actually seemed quite pleased.
Damn it!"
"July 17, 1516: Through your deliberate efforts, your relationship with Roger has progressed rapidly these past few days.
Roger tells you that although he doesn't remember what you mean by Armament Haki, if you just increase the intensity as he says, you will quickly become very strong.
He must have done it that way back then."
"July 18, 1516: The intensity Roger spoke of is truly immense.
You fearlessly attempted it and almost died.
However, as a Medical Doctor, who has memorized internal medicine, surgery, and anatomy textbooks thicker than bricks, are you afraid of these things?
As long as it doesn't kill you, you can keep practicing."
"November 29, 1516: Perhaps it's because of your previous transmigration training, or perhaps because you trained yourself to the brink of Death, but you actually learned Armament Haki more than a year earlier than before.
That day, you fought Ace again, and this time, you finally won by a narrow margin."
"December 4, 1516: At Roger's request, you taught the cultivation method for Armament Haki to Ace and Luffy.
Perhaps Ace and Luffy in this world will be much stronger than their original selves."
"December 17, 1516: Your relationship with these two brothers grows better by the day.
In the original storyline, Ace was supposed to set sail next year.
You even seriously considered recruiting them to form a Pirate King version of the TFBOYS boy band."
"December 21, 1516: Today, you actually met Garp, who had returned to Foosha Village for a visit.
You had planned to'shear the wool' from him, learning Finger Pistol, Iron Body, and the like.
But after you defeated Ace once again, he inexplicably beat you up.
Old scoundrel."
"December 24, 1516: You rejected Garp's invitation to join the Marines.
Are you kidding? Joining the Marines with the Pirate King? That's ridiculous!"
"December 25, 1516: You rejected Garp's invitation to join the Marines once again.
Compared to being a Marine, you prefer to be a free man of the sea.
No freedom, no Death."
"December 27, 1516: Garp told you that your Armament Haki talent is very high, and you might also have Observation Haki talent.
As long as you perform well, Navy Six Styles might not be out of the question.
So, under his coercion and temptation, you shamefully agreed.
Perhaps being in Cao's camp with Han's heart is also an option."
"February 1, 1517: After one last intimate moment with Makino, you boarded a ship with Garp bound for Marineford.
To your surprise, once you were out at sea, your Old Grandpa was even happier than you.
He told you that a good man should head for the sea, and perhaps there's no difference between being a pirate and a Marine."
"February 2, 1517: Garp's warship's route was very strange; it didn't pass through the Red Line, but rather through the Calm Belt.
On this day, you saw a Sea King larger than a mountain for the first time, though only a faint outline.
This left you incredibly shocked."
"February 9, 1517: Today, Garp began teaching you Observation Haki.
This old scoundrel's teaching method is to beat you to Death, which is simply outrageous.
And Roger also strongly agreed with this view."
