One Piece Dragon King - Chapter 1
“By the way, Luffy seems a bit weak.”
“He could have easily defeated the enemy with Gear Fourth or Third, but he insisted on using Gear Second, maybe adding some Armament Haki. It’s not like he didn’t have time to use the other gears.”
“It’s a bit confusing.”
Outside, it was pouring rain, with thunder and lightning. Inside the brightly lit room, a young man sat at his computer desk, leaning back in his chair, watching the events unfold on Fish-Man Island.
The young man felt quite content with a can of milk in his left hand.
Luffy was battling Hody Jones, the leader of the New Fish-Man Pirates, and was giving him a thorough beating. On land, Luffy had a significant advantage.
However, the young man had already seen the events of Wano Country and knew that Luffy could quickly defeat Hody Jones on land without even using Armament Haki or other gears. But once Hody was in the water, he became several times stronger, and Luffy struggled, getting beaten badly by Jones.
“It’s quite frustrating, but still very interesting.”
The young man was a loyal fan of One Piece. Although he didn’t have any figurines or other merchandise at home, he would watch every new episode as soon as it came out.
Before long, the episode ended.
The young man put his hand on the mouse, ready to switch to another episode to watch the Marineford War storyline. Suddenly, the screen turned into a giant black hole and sucked the young man in.
“Wow…”
Before long, the black hole on the screen disappeared, and an advertisement started playing.
It seemed like nothing had changed except that one person was missing.
Outside, it was still pouring rain, with thunder and lightning.
…
On a beach on a small island, a somewhat handsome boy sat on the sand, looking at his hands with a puzzled expression.
“Why have I turned into a child?”
The boy looked up at the sky, not quite understanding what had happened.
This was a small island. The boy walked around the island, confirming this fact.
The center of the island was a forest, but the boy didn’t dare to venture into it. He just looked for food on the beach.
It seemed there had been a shipwreck. A large ship was stranded nearby, with no one else around, leaving the boy all alone.
The boy’s name was Hals. When he crossed over, he had a memory in his mind.
He was the child of the head of a small family in the East Blue. After offending a powerful pirate, his family decided to flee the island. During the escape, they encountered another pirate ship, resulting in many deaths. Then a Navy warship appeared, and the pirates fled. Hals survived, but the warship pursued the pirate ship without caring for them.
Then a storm hit. The ship was already down to ten people after the pirate attack, and the remaining people seemed to have died for some reason.
Hals had been injured during the pirate attack and was resting in the cabin during the storm.
He figured he might have died, which was why he crossed over.
“So, did everyone else fall into the sea?”
Hals was a bit bewildered.
Speaking of which, these marines must be fake, right?
“Forget it, let’s not worry about that. The important thing is to survive. Also, is there a system? A golden finger?”
“Ding, your Negative Emotion System is now online.”
Hals breathed a sigh of relief. With a system, surviving in another world would be much easier.
“Alright, tell me what functions you have.”
“Collect negative emotions from living beings to purchase various items in the system.”
“Is there a newbie gift pack?”
“The host has received a newbie gift pack. Do you wish to claim it?”
“Yes.”
“Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Special Devil Fruit: Mythical Zoan Type, Magic Dragon, and a system backpack.”
The system backpack was a ten-square-meter gray space with a strange fruit inside.
“By the way, what is this Mythical Zoan fruit?”
Thinking about taking the fruit out, Hals saw it appear in his hand.
It had some strange patterns on it. Without thinking much, Hals directly ate it.
Hmm, not bad, doesn’t taste awful.
Hals ate the entire fruit, leaving nothing behind.
In One Piece, Devil Fruits are said to taste terrible. There’s a joke among fans that eating a piece of poop (Devil Fruit) makes you stronger.
Because Devil Fruits taste so bad, it’s like eating poop.
But this Devil Fruit didn’t taste bad, probably because it’s special…
Suddenly, Hals felt an extremely unpleasant nauseating sensation in his stomach. It felt like tasting all the weird flavors of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans at once. This nauseating feeling reverberated in his stomach and on his tongue.
Hals: “…”
So, the special thing about this fruit is that it tastes good at first but then feels like eating poop, right?
Or are you just trying to collect my negative emotions?
After a few seconds, the strange taste dissipated.
At the same time, Hals felt his body suddenly become much stronger.
A surge of heat flowed from his heart to his limbs. Hals felt he could see farther, and his body was stronger, able to break a stone with a single punch.
Of course, this was just an illusion. After all, he just ate a Devil Fruit. How could he break a stone with one punch?
Look, there’s a big stone in front of me. Let me try breaking it.
Hals punched the stone in front of him.
“Boom”
With a loud noise, the stone shattered into many small pieces.
Hals: “…”
So, system, you just want to collect my negative emotions, right? And then try to anger me to death so you can inherit my Devil Fruit? Otherwise, why would you make my Devil Fruit so powerful?
System: “…”
???
Confused black man meme face.
Of course, this was just a joke.
Hals looked at his fist.
No problem.
Touched his fist.
Didn’t hurt.
Three seconds later.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. Your system, you just want to anger me to death and inherit my Devil Fruit, right? Otherwise, why would my Devil Fruit be so weak? In human form, breaking a stone makes my hand hurt.”
System: “…”
???
Confused black man meme face.
