The sea was calm.
Too calm.
Then suddenly—
"SPLASH!"
A small, blue blob dropped straight into the ocean.
"…Did I just respawn or get scammed by life again?"
The blob floated. Wiggled.
Paused.
"…Why am I jiggling?"
He looked down—or at least tried to. Everything was blue. Squishy. Round.
"…Nah. Nope. This is illegal. I refuse."
A calm voice echoed in his mind:
[Notice: Unique Skill 'Great Sage' has been acquired.]
"…OH NO. I KNOW THAT VOICE."
[Notice: Unique Skill 'Predator' has been acquired.]
"…WAIT WAIT WAIT—DON'T TELL ME—"
He froze.
"…I'm Rimuru Tempest but in One Piece?!"
A wave smacked him.
"BLUB BLUB—OKAY FIRST PROBLEM—I CAN'T SWIM!"
[Solution: You do not require breathing.]
"…Oh. Right. I'm built different."
He floated peacefully.
"…This is actually kinda nice."
A shadow passed under him.
"…Why is the ocean suddenly dark?"
A massive Sea King rose beneath him, mouth wide open.
"…Ah."
Pause.
"…So this is how it ends. Reincarnated for 30 seconds and already lunch."
[Suggestion: Use Predator.]
"…You want me to WHAT?! That thing can eat me, not the other way around!"
The Sea King lunged.
"OKAY FINE—UNO REVERSE!"
"Predator!"
The ocean shook.
For a moment—
Silence.
Then…
The Sea King… disappeared.
Completely.
The blob floated there.
"…Did I just… eat that?"
[Confirmed. Target acquired. Analyzing…]
"…BRO I JUST SPAWNED!"
😂 10 Minutes Later
The blob sat on a floating piece of wood like a king.
"…So let me get this straight."
"New world. Pirate era. Broken powers."
Pause.
"…And I have zero drip because I'm a slime."
[Solution: Mimicry available.]
"Oh? OH?!"
The slime shimmered—
And suddenly turned into a human boy.
White hair. Golden eyes.
"…Okay that's clean. I'm not gonna lie."
He struck a pose.
"Name… I need a name…"
Dramatic pause.
"…Rimuru 2.0?"
[Suggestion: That is unoriginal.]
"…Wow. Betrayed by my own system."
🌊 Meanwhile… Somewhere at Sea
A massive ship sailed under a black flag.
On it stood monsters of an era:
Whitebeard (younger, already terrifying) Kaido (apprentice, angry as always) Big Mom (already chaotic)
And at the center…
A man whose presence bent the sea itself—
Rocks D. Xebec
Suddenly—
A crew member shouted:
"CAPTAIN! A SEA KING JUST VANISHED!"
Silence.
Kaido frowned. "Vanished?"
Big Mom grinned. "Mamamama~ something ate it."
Whitebeard crossed his arms. "Whatever did that… ain't normal."
Rocks smiled.
A dangerous smile.
"Interesting…"
🌱 Back to MC
The slime-turned-human was walking on water (badly).
"…Okay step 1: survive."
"Step 2: don't get kidnapped by pirates."
A huge shadow appeared behind him.
He slowly turned.
A massive ship.
A terrifying crew.
And at the front—
Rocks himself.
"…Yeah so about step 2…"
He waved awkwardly.
"Hi."
"…I can explain the Sea King thing."
Silence.
Then Kaido grinned.
"You look tasty."
"…WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT TO EAT ME?!"
