The world of pirates.
East Blue.
A small, nameless town.
Inside a quiet café, Kairo sat by the window, completely absorbed in a book he had borrowed from the counter.
Then suddenly—
A string of voices burst into his mind.
"Honored godfather! You're already invincible!"
"Please! Let's set sail and give this world a tiny bit of shock!"
Hearing the sudden voice in his head, Kairo lifted his eyes slightly, unable to suppress a faint smile.
One week ago, he had accidentally transmigrated into the world of One Piece, appearing in this nameless little town in East Blue.
Right after that, a system calling itself the God-Level Choice System bound itself to him.
It immediately issued three missions, forcing him to pick one and complete it within a time limit.
Failure meant instant erasure.
Ridiculous.
Fail a mission and get erased?
What era was this—who still used threats like that?
As a proud transmigrator, how could he tolerate such nonsense?
Three choices?
He chose none of them.
If things went wrong, he'd just die and transmigrate again with a different posture.
The system clearly hadn't expected Kairo to be so stubborn.
After several hours of silence, it quietly released a new set of tasks—much simpler ones.
Mission 1: Run five kilometers.
Reward: Armament Haki.
Mission 2: Go to the beach and listen to the sea for one hour.
Reward: Observation Haki.
Mission 3: Do one hundred push-ups in one go.
Reward: Conqueror's Haki.
The missions had become laughably easy.
But Kairo still refused.
He even asked the system to erase him on the spot, pushing the system's CPU to the brink of meltdown.
From that moment on, the system switched tactics.
It began begging, threatening, bribing—trying every method possible.
It offered him Berries, starter gift packs, and eventually even simplified the missions further.
In the end, it simply gave up.
The missions disappeared completely.
The system entered full "free rewards" mode.
No matter what Kairo did, the system would find an excuse to reward him.
For example—
One morning he woke up, and the system declared that his continuous breathing had contributed greatly to air purification.
Another time he relieved himself by the roadside, and the system praised him for successfully fertilizing plants.
Even swatting a mosquito earned him merit points for helping the mosquito ascend to the Western Paradise.
In just a few days, Kairo had transformed into an absolute monster.
He became a supreme swordsman, while his three types of Haki were instantly upgraded to maximum level.
He also obtained various abilities and items that didn't even belong to the One Piece world.
And the system had only one goal:
To get him to set sail and make a name for himself.
"System," Kairo muttered while glancing around the café to make sure no one was nearby.
"You've changed."
He placed the book aside and picked up a newspaper.
"Honestly, I preferred the version of you that threatened to erase me every five minutes."
"Honored godfather! This is the real me!"
"Please forget the unpleasant past!"
"From now on I will protect you with my entire existence! You'll punch the Four Emperors, kick the Admirals, crush Imu with one hand, and become the new king of the world!"
Kairo blinked.
"Why would I punch the Four Emperors or kick the Admirals?"
"Did they offend me?"
"And besides, what's the point of fighting and killing?"
"Isn't sitting here in a café reading books and newspapers much nicer?"
The system sounded desperate.
"But godfather! A great transmigrator must reshape the world!"
"If you can't dominate heaven and earth, how are you any different from a salted fish?"
"I've already prepared a powerful ship for you! You can set sail anytime!"
Kairo narrowed his eyes.
"Ahem… having a ship isn't enough."
"I don't know how to sail."
"Understood! Arranging a navigator immediately!"
"Navigator located. Arrival in three minutes."
Kairo fought hard to keep from laughing.
"But a navigator alone won't do."
"What if a storm damages the ship?"
"And even if I'm strong, I can't be expected to handle every random pirate myself. That'd be way too low-class."
"Arranging everything!"
"A shipwright and a combat member have been recruited!"
"Arrival in five minutes!"
At the same time, outside the café, the street suddenly grew restless.
Two women gasped in surprise as if they had just seen something unbelievable.
The surrounding pedestrians turned to look.
Walking down the street—
Was a Droopy dog.
Standing upright.
Ignoring the stares around him.
He marched calmly toward the café.
Under the stunned gaze of the crowd, the dog entered the café, walked straight to Kairo's table, and slowly sat down across from him.
Its long ears drooped lazily, looking as if it might fall asleep at any moment.
"…?"
Kairo stared at the dog in front of him, completely baffled.
Before he could react, the system's voice sounded again.
"Navigator has arrived. Please inspect, honored father."
Kairo slowly raised his head.
"You're telling me… the navigator is this dog?"
"Correct, honored father!"
"Do not underestimate him! This Droopy dog is named Droopy—also known in the underworld as Lord Bait!"
"Have you ever heard the phrase: 'If you're incompetent, don't blame the road?'"
"…What the hell."
Kairo couldn't stop himself from swearing.
"You're telling me this dog is Droopy?"
As a transmigrator, Kairo naturally knew who Droopy was.
He came from an old cartoon series and was essentially a concept-level entity.
His abilities included space folding, turning illusion into reality, teleportation, and countless other ridiculous powers.
"Are you satisfied, honored father?"
The system's voice carried obvious pride.
Kairo's mouth twitched.
He asked for a navigator—
And the system delivered Droopy.
How was he supposed to command a literal concept god?
Wait a minute.
If the navigator alone was this outrageous—
Then the shipwright and combat member must be even worse.
"Waaah!"
"These two rabbits are so cute!"
"They look so silly! I want to squeeze their ears!"
The noise outside the café rose again.
Although the café was fairly soundproof, Kairo still glanced toward the window.
The moment he saw the street outside—
His pupils shrank.
Two rabbits—one green, one red—were swaggering toward the café door under the curious gaze of a growing crowd.
As the onlookers gathered closer, someone reached out toward them.
Da Hong suddenly widened its eyes.
Then it turned around and glared at the crowd.
In an instant—
A terrifying invisible pressure burst outward.
The surrounding pedestrians froze in place.
Their breathing stopped.
Fear of death filled their eyes.
Watching this scene, Kairo's face twitched violently.
He recognized those rabbits instantly.
They were from the animated series Usavich.
Da Hong was Da Hong.
The green rabbit…
Well—
Let's just call him Green Rabbit.
Green Rabbit's most ridiculous ability was light-speed repair.
He could turn an ordinary car into a machine powered by a jet engine.
As for Da Hong—
He had several states.
And in his berserk mode, he was essentially an ultimate life form.
A walking demolition machine capable of tearing down buildings with his bare hands.
