Innate Monster Strength Observation Haki Kid!

(I am a Brain-Brain Person who ate the Brain-Brain Fruit, possessing the ability to store brains.)

Marineford Era, Year 1492.

Dullamos Island, an ordinary island located in the first half of the New World.

"Hey, Jesse, you don't want the news that you're still wetting the bed at eight years old to get out, do you!"

In a messy alley, a small boy with black long hair, bare-chested, looked at the snot-nosed brat in front of him with a wicked grin.

A few brats in the distance, daring not to speak out in anger, glared at the long-haired boy.

"Huh? I washed it clean before dawn, how did you know, Austin..." Jesse, the snot-nosed brat, covered his mouth halfway through his sentence, as if afraid his companions in the distance would hear.

"I said long ago, there's nothing in this world that can escape my eyes."

Snatching the hundreds of Beli pocket money from the brat's hand, the long-haired boy stuffed it into his pocket amidst Jesse's furious gaze and swaggered away, laughing heartily.

After he left, a few children dared to come over to comfort the robbed Jesse, cursing.

"Damn it, that guy, I'll get revenge when I grow up!"

"Yeah, Austin always robs us of our pocket money. I'll definitely beat him up if I get the chance."

But some children were more rational, looking at the receding long-haired figure with bitter expressions.

"There's no way we can do something like that, the Town Mayor also said that Austin killed a wild boar when he was six, he's..."

As he spoke, the child's eyes showed a hint of fear, as if recalling the warnings from his parents.

"A born monster!"

"Alright, another five hundred Beli earned, I can buy two more newspapers."

Austin pushed open the door to his home with a cheerful mood.

This was his ninth year in the One Piece World. Abandoned since birth and raised by the Old Town Mayor, Austin had long grown accustomed to this novel world.

However, he had yet to experience the truly vast side of this world, so he actively bought newspapers from the News-Selling Seagulls to learn about the major events happening on the seas.

Today, as usual, he was preparing to go home for lunch. But for some reason, Grandpa Old Town Mayor was not at home.

He looked around and saw no one, so he frowned and looked towards the door of the house next door, as if sensing something carefully. After a moment, he shook his head.

"That's strange, she's not at the Widow's house next door either."

He probably went for Flower Wine, Austin didn't think much of it. He directly found some bread and ham from the kitchen and sat down to eat by himself.

He ate while reading the newspaper he bought today.

"The remnants of Rocks are developing their own forces, among them Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and others..."

There wasn't much that needed attention, but to be fair, the young Charlotte Linlin was really beautiful.

Looking at the curvaceous figure in the newspaper, Austin chewed and sighed inwardly, then continued to read.

"Roger Pirates suspected to have appeared on Sandrila Island."

The living Pirate King, Austin sighed while chewing, then continued to read.

The next news was...

Wait!

Austin's chewing stopped abruptly. He seemed to sense something was wrong, and then he suddenly looked at the news about the Roger Pirates. He didn't even notice the bread falling from his mouth onto the ground. He was completely stunned!

Sandrila Island?

Isn't that the island dozens of nautical miles away?

Holy crap!

At this point in time, Roger hadn't reached Laugh Tale yet, nor was he the Pirate King!

Unbelievable!

Austin's eyes widened. In just a few seconds, a very bold decision formed in his mind!

"In my previous life, I waited for almost thirty years and still didn't figure out what One Piece was. Now, isn't this a ready-made opportunity to see it?"

If he could join the Roger Pirates...

What would you call this?

Starting at the peak?

Ordinary pirates searched their whole lives for the Great Treasure, and he would find it within two years of setting sail?

Thinking of this, Austin became excited.

Not to mention, the Roger Pirates were all world-class experts. Just learning a couple of moves from them would be enough to be the final boss of a movie.

A secondary benefit was the status. Didn't even the future Buggy, relying on his identity as a crew member of the Roger Pirates, get a second glance wherever he went?

No sooner said than done.

"Old man, I'm going to join the Roger Pirates. I'll repay your kindness once I return home in glory!"

He wrote a farewell note, Shouldering a stick with a bundle of luggage tied to the end, Austin made up his mind that when he became a big shot, he would return to repay his fellow villagers who raised him.

"When that time comes, I'll even take all the wild dogs in the village and have them serve as police dogs in those great kingdoms, eating imperial grain. That should be enough, right?"

Austin immediately packed up the few belongings from the old town mayor's house and sprinted towards the pier, his steps swift and steady.

Meanwhile, A magnificent, sharp-prowed giant ship, carved with two mermaid statues at its bow, officially docked at Dullamos's largest pier.

At the bow of the ship, a man resembling a captain stood steadily.

He wore a red coat and a captain's hat, and beneath his iconic mustache was a heroic smile unique to the strong, his innate kingly aura radiating outwards.

"Extraordinary presence, domineering aura on full display. Truly a top-tier powerhouse of the sea."

Austin, merely by sensing, could already understand the abyssal gap in strength between himself and the other man.

This was the Pirate King—Gol D. Roger!

He and his partners had already experienced the great battle of God Valley and were now sailing around, searching for the lost Four Poneglyphs for their final adventure.

He had not yet contracted an incurable disease and was fully enjoying the freedom and travels of the sea.

Beside the pier, members of the Roger Pirates disembarked one after another. They were merely passing through this place to replenish their supplies.

However, amidst this group of big men, two little figures weaved through, looking out of place.

They were two slightly red little kids.

One had red hair, and the other had a red nose.

"Who are you calling Red Nose, huh? Say it again if you dare." Young Buggy was furious, his face flushed red with anger.

"No one called you Red Nose, Buggy," Shanks jumped off the deck, adjusting his straw hat which was almost blown off by the wind. He said helplessly, "Even without hearing anything, I can sense it. Is your Observation Haki red nose...?"

"No, someone definitely said it! This feeling can't be wrong!"

Buggy clenched his fists and shouted, then looked around. Suddenly, he saw a figure sprinting towards them from a distance. "Hey, is it you, kid!"

"Hahahaha... Long time no see, Buggy, Shanks!"

Austin greeted them with a laugh as he sprinted over.
