The deck of the ship was dead silent.
In front of monsters like:
Whitebeard Kaido Big Mom
…stood one very confused, very unserious slime-turned-human.
He raised his hand.
"…So… quick question before I potentially die—"
Kaido stepped forward, cracking his neck.
"Can I eat him?"
"…BRO AGAIN WITH THIS?!"
😐 The Situation
MC (internally):"Okay okay okay think… these are NOT background characters."
"Those are literal future EMPERORS."
"And that guy in the middle—yeah that's definitely Rocks D. Xebec… meaning I'm very dead."
[Suggestion: Escape probability — 0.02%]
"…WHY EVEN TELL ME THAT?!"
🐉 Kaido vs Slime (Worst Matchup Ever?)
Kaido grinned and walked closer.
"You smell weird."
"…You smell like anger issues."
Silence.
The entire crew froze.
Whitebeard slowly turned his head.
Big Mom stopped mid-laugh.
Even Rocks raised an eyebrow.
Kaido's smile… widened.
"…Say that again."
MC gulped.
"…Respectfully, you look like you'd lose an argument to a door."
💀 One Second Later
BOOM!
Kaido swung.
The deck shattered.
But—
No blood.
No body.
Only a small blue blob bouncing on the wood.
"…HAHA! YOU MISSED!"
[Notice: Physical attacks ineffective against slime body.]
Kaido blinked.
"…What."
The blob bounced again.
"Round 2? Or do you need tutorial mode?"
😂 Chaos Begins
Kaido attacked again—faster this time.
But every punch just—
SPLAT. REFORM. SPLAT. REFORM.
MC laughed.
"Bro you're punching jelly."
Big Mom burst out laughing.
"MAMAMAMA! HE'S FUNNY!"
Whitebeard smirked slightly.
"Gurarara… he's got guts."
👁️ Rocks Gets Interested
At the center, Rocks D. Xebec finally stepped forward.
The air itself felt heavier.
MC immediately stopped laughing.
"…Okay this one is not for jokes."
Rocks looked down at the slime.
"You're not human."
"…Depends. Do humans normally get punched by dragons for fun?"
"…You ate the Sea King."
"…It attacked first. Self-defense. Legally speaking, I'm innocent."
Silence.
Then—
Rocks smiled.
Not a nice smile.
A dangerous one.
⚡ The Test
"Join my crew."
MC blinked.
"…That was fast."
Kaido growled. "Captain—"
Rocks raised a hand. Silence.
Then he looked at MC again.
"Or die."
"…Ah. There it is. The classic two options."
MC crossed his (temporary) arms.
"…Can I get a third option? Like food and a nap?"
Kaido: "I'll kill him."
MC: "See THIS is why you need therapy."
🧠 Big Brain Moment
MC (internally):"Okay think… if I join, I survive."
"But also… this is the most dangerous pirate crew in history."
"…Which means free EXP."
Pause.
"…Yeah I'm in."
😎 Acceptance (Sort Of)
MC raised his hand again.
"Alright, I'll join."
"BUT—"
Everyone tensed.
"…I'm not doing chores."
Kaido: "I'm killing him."
Big Mom: "MAMAMAMA! KEEP HIM!"
Whitebeard: "Kid's got spirit."
Rocks laughed.
"Fine."
🌀 New Crew Member
[Notice: Major event triggered.][You have joined the crew of Rocks D. Xebec.][Danger level: EXTREME]
MC sighed.
"…Yeah, I figured."
Then he grinned.
"…So who's the second strongest here?"
Kaido stepped forward instantly.
"That's me."
MC pointed at him.
"Perfect. Training partner."
Silence.
Then—
Kaido smiled like a man who just found a new punching bag.
"You won't survive a day."
MC smiled back.
"Bet."
