Chapter 1
Sea Calendar Year 1510, Impel Down Prison — First Level: Crimson Hell.
"Hey, wake up! Get up and eat. Stop playing dead!"
A rough voice slowly dragged Qin Chuan back to consciousness. The next moment, a heavy kick landed squarely on his butt, jolting him awake.
"Damn it, if you're not dead, hurry up and eat. It's almost your turn!"
A man wearing a military cap, a white jacket, and green trousers glared at him viciously.
"Where… where am I?" Qin Chuan asked, staring at the dark, grim surroundings.
"Haha, kid, looks like you're scared senseless. Let me remind you one more time — this is the first level of Impel Down, the Crimson Hell. This meal might be your last, so enjoy it while you can!"
The guard laughed darkly and turned to leave.
Bang!
The heavy door slammed shut, leaving Qin Chuan alone in the cell.
As he tried to stand up and assess his situation, a flood of unfamiliar memories suddenly poured into his mind.
"Ah!" A sharp pain exploded in his head, forcing a low groan from his lips. Moments later, the pain gradually subsided.
Scenes and images flashed through his brain one after another.
After a long while, Qin Chuan collapsed back onto the cold floor with a heavy thud.
"How is this possible…? I actually transmigrated… and into the One Piece world!"
He muttered the words repeatedly in disbelief.
Yes, Qin Chuan had truly crossed over — into the world of the popular anime One Piece. But unlike the stories he had read, he hadn't possessed a powerful expert. Instead, he had taken over the body of an ordinary pirate.
Worse still, this pirate had been captured by the Marines just days ago and thrown straight into the infamous underwater prison: Impel Down.
This prison held only the worst criminals. It was dark, terrifying, and filled with monstrous jailers and surveillance Den Den Mushi. Massive Sea Kings patrolled the surrounding waters, earning Impel Down its reputation as an impenetrable fortress.
Once locked inside, there was only one way out — escape.
Throughout history, only the legendary "Golden Lion" Shiki had ever successfully broken out.
"Damn it… Crossing over as a weak, nameless pirate is bad enough. Couldn't I at least get a system?" Qin Chuan cursed inwardly.
The moment the words left his mind, a familiar mechanical voice rang out:
"Ding! The Naruto Character Possession System has been successfully activated. Congratulations on activating the system and its built-in shop. As a reward, you have received a Beginner's Gift Pack. Please check your inventory."
"It's here! It really came!"
Qin Chuan's eyes lit up with excitement as he immediately opened the system.
A character panel appeared in his mind:
Host: Qin Chuan
Possessable Characters: None
Possession Uses: 0
Reputation Points: 0
"What the… A Naruto Possession System?"
Confused, Qin Chuan quickly remembered the Beginner's Gift Pack and opened it with a thought.
"Ding! Beginner's Gift Pack successfully opened. You have obtained one Might Guy character card from Naruto, along with 10 possession uses."
"Holy shit — Might Guy? The strongest taijutsu user in Naruto, the man even Madara called the strongest?"
The system panel refreshed instantly:
Host: Qin Chuan
Possessable Characters: Might Guy
Possession Uses: 10
Reputation Points: 0
Qin Chuan finally understood how the system worked. It allowed him to possess characters from the Naruto series. Once possessed, he would gain all of that character's ninjutsu and taijutsu abilities.
However, to possess a character, he needed both the corresponding character card and possession uses. Both were required.
He still didn't know how to obtain more cards or uses, but the system had mentioned a shop. With a thought, he opened the System Shop.
A long list of Naruto character cards appeared in his mind:
Sage of Six Paths (Character Card) — 10,000,000 Reputation Points
Sage Mode Naruto (Character Card) — 1,000,000 Reputation Points
Uchiha Madara (Character Card) — 800,000 Reputation Points
Hashirama Senju (Character Card) — 500,000 Reputation Points
Uchiha Itachi (Character Card) — 100,000 Reputation Points
Possession Use (1 hour) — 1,000 Reputation Points …
The list included nearly all the powerful shinobi from Naruto, each with different reputation costs. The legendary Sage of Six Paths required a staggering ten million points, while the cheapest option was a one-hour possession use for just one thousand points.
Looking at his current Reputation Points — a big fat zero — Qin Chuan could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
At the bottom of the shop, a short note explained: "Reputation Points are gained by defeating opponents. The stronger the opponent, the more Reputation Points awarded."
Everything about the system was now clear.
To gain more Reputation Points, Qin Chuan would have to fight — and win.
Until then, he only had ten uses of the Might Guy card, each lasting just one hour. Once the time was up, he would return to being an ordinary person.
Fortunately, Might Guy was incredibly powerful, especially with the Eight Gates. As long as he didn't run into a Yonko or a Marine Admiral, Qin Chuan was confident he could defeat most opponents within that one-hour limit.
