Year 1479 of the Sea Calendar.
On an unknown small island in the New World, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.
However, this tranquility was completely shattered by an urgent shout.
“Pops, something bad has happened!”
A pineapple-headed kid, about six or seven years old, stumbled towards Edward, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The kid was Marco; he braced his hands on his knees, his chest heaving violently, his eyes filled with an unshakeable fear, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying!
Edward looked at the panicked Marco, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
“Marco!
What’s with all the fuss!”
Jozu, who was actually younger than Marco but already built like a half-grown lad, asked with a serious expression, his arms crossed over his chest.
Beside him, Vista, with his blunt-cut bangs and ponytail, and two cutlasses at his waist, also looked over with curiosity.
Marco swallowed, and cried out, his voice choked with tears:
“Rocks!
That Rocks Pirates are here!”
Edward instantly froze in place, the naginata in his hand unconsciously falling to the ground.
With a “clank,” a cloud of dust was immediately kicked up from the ground.
As the smoke diffused, his thoughts had already drifted far away.
Edward was originally a UI designer on Earth, working overtime until late at night to complete a design task assigned by his boss.
If his unscrupulous boss approved it the next day, he could relax for a few days.
He was full of confidence in his design this time.
Now, one could say everything was ready, only lacking the east wind.
Who would have thought, just as he left the company, he was hit by a fully loaded semi-trailer.
During his free fall, he vaguely saw the truck’s front…
When he regained consciousness, he had transmigrated to the world of One Piece, into the body of “Edward Newgate,” who shared his name!
It could be considered a different kind of “In my name, I crown you with my surname”…
(Taking suggestions, the protagonist will be called Newgate from now on.)
He planned to develop cautiously, relying on Whitebeard’s abnormal talent, and live peacefully for ten or eight years.
He wanted to experience the customs and traditions of this world, and when he got old, he would occupy an island and become a king or something, living a carefree life.
Why not?
But just a few days after transmigrating, he encountered that legendary great pirate—
Rocks D.
Xebec, known as the “King of Darkness,” who, with absolutely powerful strength and ambition to dominate the world, gathered a group of reckless crew members!
According to the original plot, shouldn’t he have met Rocks a year later?
What was happening now?
“Is…
is it that Rocks D.
Xebec, known as the “King of Darkness”?”
Vista couldn’t help but swallow, his pupils trembling uncontrollably, his voice filled with unconcealable fear.
“Yes!
I definitely didn’t see wrong!”
Marco trembled all over, tears in his eyes, looking up at the tall figure in front of him, as if only then could he find a trace of comfort in his heart.
“Pops, why don’t we retreat first!”
Jozu moved closer to Edward, struggling to pick up the naginata, which was even taller than him, his eyes full of worry.
“That guy is a notorious great pirate!”
“No, it’s too late now.”
Edward Newgate, who had inherited Whitebeard’s powerful body, took the naginata and instantly stood up.
His Observation Haki could already clearly perceive a figure rapidly approaching from the coastline.
“Thump—thump—thump!”
As a dark shadow flickered, that person rapidly stomped on the ground.
Before the spiderweb-like cracks at the edge of the deep pit could spread, the plump figure soared into the air, instantly eclipsing the sun and casting a huge shadow in front of everyone.
“He’s here!”
Newgate’s body sank, and the hand gripping the naginata exerted force violently, his arm muscles bulging like coiling dragons.
“Hahaha!
Whitebeard!
Hand over your head!”
A sword gleam, carrying an incredibly majestic aura, descended like thunder from the sky, and the air itself emitted bursts of sonic booms due to this powerful force.
“Clang!”
The naginata and the greatsword collided fiercely, sparks flying, emitting a piercing screech.
“Boom!”
The ground beneath them could not withstand the immense pressure generated by their collision and collapsed with a roar, a powerful shockwave radiating outwards like a storm from the two of them.
“Whoosh!
Whoosh!”
The fierce wind howled, all the surrounding coconut trees snapped under the shockwave, and amidst the flying sand and stones, the three little ones of the Whitebeard Pirates tumbled and fell far away.
“Pops!”
The three of them, disregarding whether they were injured, quickly got up, gripped their weapons, and rushed towards the direction of the battle without hesitation!
“Kids, take care of yourselves!”
Newgate roared, feeling a terrifying force transfer through the blade.
The naginata let out a mournful tremor, as if it would break the next moment.
He looked closely and saw that the newcomer was an unkempt, bloated fat man.
He laughed wildly, pressing down on the blade, his snake-like tongue flicking between his lips, his expression utterly mad.
It was none other than Wang Zhi, a member of the Rocks Pirates, known as the “Pirate Patriarch”!
His title was quite impressive, but his strength—
It probably didn’t live up to the name “Pirate Patriarch.”
Feeling the force from the naginata, Newgate grinned and laughed:
“Gurararara!
This little bit of strength, go use it to scratch your Mama’s back!”
“Boom!”
He suddenly raised his arm, and with his innate monstrous strength, the naginata instantly sent the greatsword flying.
The greatsword flipped several times in the air, then plummeted, inserting itself into the rock wall with a “thud,” leaving only its hilt trembling.
“As expected of Whitebeard!”
Wang Zhi looked at his already cracked tiger’s mouth, his eyes filled with astonishment.
“You want my head?
Then be prepared to die!”
Newgate swung the naginata with one arm; it danced in his hand like a dragon and snake, generating powerful gusts of wind.
The plump figure dodged with a surprising agility that belied his size.
In an instant, the two had exchanged several blows, and Wang Zhi, covered in blood, gradually fell into a disadvantage.
On the distant coastline, a massive pirate ship lay quietly anchored.
On board, a red cloak flapped in the sea breeze, and yellow tassels on his shoulders swayed with the wind.
“Hahaha, Wang Zhi is going to lose, Shiki!”
Rocks grinned, his eyes constantly appraising Whitebeard’s exceptionally powerful physique, the satisfaction in his eyes growing more intense.
In his opinion, only those with great strength were worthy of being recruited as his crew.
“Kekekekeke!
Rocks, let me be the one to verify if that guy is worthy of joining our crew!”
Shiki, with his golden hair reaching the ground, bit his cigar, his eyes suddenly revealing a beast-like ferocity.
Amidst the swirling smoke, his face appeared even more terrifying.
“Clang!”
sakurajū and kogarashi at his waist instantly unsheathed, and Shiki leaped from the ship with a sinister laugh, his figure disappearing swiftly like a ghost.
On the island, Wang Zhi’s once fluffy long hair was now disheveled.
Blood spurted from his nose and mouth, and his body swayed precariously, yet the expression on his face grew even more frantic.
“Hahaha, Whitebeard, I admit you’re stronger than me, but your strength isn’t enough for Rocks to make a move!”
“Gurararara!
That’s none of your concern!”
Newgate brandished his naginata, and a crescent-shaped slash flashed through the air.
The layers of fat on Wang Zhi’s body were torn open, and blood gushed out like a sudden spring!
“Ah!”
Wang Zhi screamed in agony, a mouthful of blood spurting out, even his snake-like long tongue stained with dazzling crimson.
Deep fear finally appeared in his eyes.
“This guy, he really means to kill me!”
Ignoring the intense pain in his body, he lay on the ground, kicking his legs forward, dodging clumsily.
But Whitebeard’s naginata pursued him relentlessly like a maggot in the bone, slashing towards him.
Its sharp aura even made Wang Zhi’s chubby face bleed.
The breath of death tightly encircled him.
If he got hit by that blade, he would truly die!
“Captain!
Save me!”
“Clang!”
Before Wang Zhi finished speaking, the sound of metal clashing rang out.
A golden figure sped past, two famous swords crossed in front of him.
“Golden Lion Shiki!”
Newgate’s pupils sharply contracted, his voice low.
An incredible guy has arrived!
“Yo, you’ve heard my story?”
Shiki took a deep puff from his cigar, exhaled a cloud of smoke, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
“Gurararara, let me see if you’re truly as formidable as the legends say!”
His first attack unsuccessful, Newgate used the momentum to leap, flashing back a hundred meters away.
“Kekekekeke, Whitebeard, let’s have a grand battle!
Let’s see if you’re worthy of joining our crew!”
As he spoke, Shiki’s body erupted with dazzling black and red lightning.
Under the sweep of his Haoshoku, countless cracks appeared in the ground, and gravel flew everywhere!
The Whitebeard Pirates’ crew members and the three little ones, who were observing from a distance, had their eyes roll back from the terrifying aura and fainted directly.
Looking at the horrifying scene before him, Newgate felt a sudden sense of powerlessness.
Is this the innate spirit—Conqueror’s Haki?
Damn it, he currently possessed Whitebeard’s body, but he couldn’t use Conqueror’s Haki at all!
