Saint Jaygarcia Saturn

Marineford Era, year 1500.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

The palace was opulent, filled with golden artifacts. Adam Tree tables, chairs, and cabinets were scattered about, with giant vats standing in the corners. Four mermaids were nestled inside one of them.

A low murmur broke the silence of the palace:

"Ross..."

Ross stared blankly at the young man in the mirror, unsure of what to say at first.

The young man in the mirror had a smooth, fair complexion and sharp features, exuding a cold aura. His deep black eyes sparkled with a captivating light, and his entire being radiated an aristocratic demeanor.

He had transmigrated, or rather, his memories had awakened, and he had become a Celestial Dragon.

This was too awesome!

However, his identity was a bit awkward.

His name was Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn Saint, one of the Five Elders, and the first Elder to be removed in the original One Piece story.

Although his grandfather's removal didn't affect the family, Celestial Dragons were the villains.

The Celestial Dragons were descendants of the 20 Kings who founded the World Government. They considered themselves "descendants of the Creator God," the privileged class that dominated the World Government and resided in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

But times had changed, or perhaps the usurpers were never good people. Today's Celestial Dragons were not only symbols of power but also universally recognized demons in human skin.

The story of One Piece, which began as an adventure of exploration and freedom, later evolved into the story of King Luffy overthrowing the World Government.

And unfortunately, his current identity represented the World Government.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ross quickly became happy again.

Regardless, transmigrating to the world of One Piece and becoming a Celestial Dragon was an incredible start.

Who wouldn't be happy to transmigrate as a Celestial Dragon?

This kind of "second-generation" identity, born at the top, was definitely something most people dreamed of.

As for the evil deeds of the Celestial Dragons, setting aside whether his morals would change now that he had become one, if other rich second-generation individuals forced good people into prostitution, would you still want to be a rich second-generation?

Moreover, Ross had no such worries.

He had been a slave in his previous life. If he were to be a saint in this life, wouldn't his transmigration be in vain?

The only drawback now was that ordinary Celestial Dragons generally lacked strength. Ross's current body was already weakened by excessive indulgence. His current body was even worse than that of an ordinary person in the One Piece world, only barely able to walk on its own.

[Ding! Defeat System is at your service!]

"Defeat System? What kind of ability is that?"

Hearing the pleasant system notification, Ross felt even better.

[Host: Ross]

[Strength: 63/100 (G+, even a Marine is stronger than you)]

[Overall Rating: A (Relies entirely on status when out and about)]

[Abilities: None]

[Skills: None]

[Note: Defeating enemies grants rewards based on their Overall Rating - 1. Killing or incapacitating enemies grants rewards based on their current Overall Rating.]

[Note: Each person's current rating can only be rewarded once for killing or incapacitating, and the defeat reward and kill/incapacitate reward do not conflict.]

"Is there a difference between incapacitating and defeating?"

Ross was confused for a moment, but as he thought about it, he suddenly realized:

"So it's that kind of 'incapacitation'!"

"I'm going to... kill you!"

Suddenly, a weak voice rang out beside Ross.

"Hmm?"

Ross narrowed his eyes and looked back, seeing a beautiful woman with an outstanding figure, currently tied to the bed. Only her mouth could move.

The beautiful woman was naked, covered in bruises and contusions, all of which were Ross's handiwork.

He had just awakened his memories and hadn't figured out the situation, so he had played a bit too rough.

However, the beautiful woman, Erika, was no ordinary woman. She was a female pirate with a bounty of 5 million Berries, the wife of a former pirate with a bounty of 100 million Berries. Because of her exceptional beauty, Ross had taken a liking to her when he passed by the Sabaody Archipelago.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

The result was obvious: her husband and his entire pirate crew were wiped out, and she was brought to Ross's palace.

This incident didn't even cause a ripple at sea; such was the power wielded by a Celestial Dragon.

"I can try out the system!"

[Erika]

[Overall Rating: E-]

"Bastard..."

"Don't come near me!"

"No... Ah!!!"

The beautiful woman's hateful voice was intermittent, and various sounds mixed together in the palace.

[E-Rank Defeat Completed!]

[Strength +100]

[Special Reward: E-Rank Marksmanship]

Half an hour later.

Ross walked off the bed, feeling refreshed. He felt his replenished stamina and the newly acquired firearm skills in his memory, making the world seem even more beautiful.

[Host: Ross]

[Strength: 163/300 (F-Rank, Marine Strength)]

[Skills: E-Rank Marksmanship]

It was a shame that he could only defeat an opponent of the same rank once, otherwise, he could have farmed points.

Ross smiled and leaned his head close to Erika's ear.

"Was that good just now?"

"Bastard, either kill me, or I'll definitely kill you!"

Erika glared at Ross furiously, her mind consumed by hatred.

"What a pity, wrong answer!"

Ross shook his head regretfully. He picked up a platinum pistol from the nearby table and pressed it against the beautiful woman's ample chest.

Bang!!!

A blood-red splatter appeared, and the beautiful woman instantly turned into a withered skeleton.

[E-Rank Kill Completed!]

[Reward: None (Defeat reward already obtained)]

Ross's expression didn't change. He simply tossed the gun aside.

Since he couldn't win her over naturally, he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

It was a shame that the rewards for defeating and killing conflicted, otherwise, he could have gotten another round of rewards.

Ross walked to the palace entrance and called out calmly.

"Guernica!"

As soon as he spoke, Guernica, a young, thin man in a white suit, appeared before him in the blink of an eye, kneeling on one knee with his head bowed low.

[Guernica]

[Overall Rating: B-]

"Saint Ross! Please, give your orders!"

Even though Guernica's face was covered in white graffiti, anyone could tell he was excited.

Ross knew Guernica, not because he was recently promoted from CP9 and was temporarily in charge of guarding the Jaygo Lucia family's CP0.

It was because Guernica had made an appearance 20 years later and even participated in the final battle between Kaido and Luffy. Although he was easily dealt with, he had at least shown his face.

Being selected into CP0 at this time was enough to show that Guernica was a promising young man.

It was a pity that 20 years later, his strength was only around that of a Vice Admiral, probably a B+ at best. This indicated that Guernica's potential was somewhat limited.

"Clean up the inside of the palace. I don't want to see a single speck of dirt."

"Understood!"

Guernica walked into the palace expressionlessly. After a short while, he came out, carrying a bed wrapped tightly in a white cloth, and left.
