In 1484 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
The young beast, Garin Saint Figarland, stood tall upon the World Government warship.
Behind him stood a group of dejected Marines.
"Reporting to Saint Garin, the place you mentioned for storing the treasure only contained one child! The other treasure cache appears to have been completely looted by the Roger Pirates..."
As they spoke, the Marines presented Garin Saint Figarland with a treasure chest.
"..."
Garin Saint Figarland took the chest from the soldier. When he opened it and saw the red-haired infant sleeping soundly inside, veins immediately bulged across his forehead.
"You bastard! What did you say? Are you saying that the child of our Figarland family was taken by that bandit Roger? What kind of joke is this..."
As Saint Garin's words fell, terrifying Haki burst from his eyes, shaking the entire warship until it nearly capsized on the sea.
"My apologies! We will definitely recover your child!"
Facing Figarland's Haki, the Marines all lowered their heads, angry but afraid to speak.
"Useless trash! What are you even good for?!"
"That bastard Roger actually dared to steal a child of our Figarland family. He's courting death..."
Saint Garin gazed into the distance and spoke in a deep voice.
"Forget it! Send this child back first!"
"Leave Roger alone! Worthless as you are, there's no way you could do anything to him! I'll personally reclaim what Roger stole..."
After staring at the sea for a long while, Saint Garin looked toward the Roger Pirates, who had long since vanished without a trace, and sighed helplessly.
During the war at God Valley,
the Celestial Dragons' slaves escaped, while the Devil Fruits meant to serve as prizes were looted clean by the slaves and pirates!
Rocks died in battle, and the Rocks Pirates were disbanded.
Although Garp, a Marine, had joined forces with Roger to crush the Rocks Pirates and become the Hero of the Marines for a time,
he had witnessed the ugly side of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, becoming deeply dissatisfied with both the World Government and the justice upheld by the Marines. Thus, he refused promotion...
For a time, whether it was Rocks, the Celestial Dragons, or the Marines, they all seemed to be losers! Only the Roger Pirates had emerged victorious. Everyone knew that after the Rocks Pirates disbanded, the sea would welcome a new era belonging to Roger...
The winds of the era began to blow forward.
And so, time passed. Ten years later...
In 1494 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle.
A child of around ten, with short crimson hair and features somewhat resembling Shanks, the apprentice aboard the Roger Pirates who was currently making waves across the seas, had a light in his eyes that did not match his apparent age.
"So, I transmigrated?!"
The child's name was Shaya. More accurately, he was Shaya Saint Figarland.
He was the second son of Garin Saint Figarland, one of the supreme forces among the Celestial Dragons, leader of the Divine Knights, and a king who had once been active at God Valley. At the same time, he was also a transmigrator...
"I not only transmigrated into the world of One Piece, but even became one of the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons? On top of that, my father is Saint Garin, commander of the Celestial Dragons' Divine Knights, while my older brother is Shanks, an apprentice aboard the Roger Pirates and the future Emperor of the Sea who would dominate the New World—the one-armed Red-Haired Shanks, known as the King of Connections?! Looks like I won the championship match of reincarnation in my last life!"
A faint smile curved across Shaya's face.
Shaya had lived in this world as a native for about eleven years. Today, he had finally escaped the muddled confusion of infancy and awakened the memories of his previous life.
Yes, Shaya was not originally from this world! More precisely, Shaya's previous life had not belonged to this world. He had come from a world called Blue Star...
In his previous life, Shaya had been a corporate slave working a 997 schedule year-round—in short, a human beast of burden.
It meant that although he looked human on the outside, in the eyes of capitalists, he was merely livestock meant to keep working and making money for them. He was not a person at all...
Shaya vaguely remembered that his dream in his previous life had been to work hard, save enough money to buy a house, marry, have children, and finally live properly as a human being!
Unfortunately, before he could save enough for a down payment on a house, he had died suddenly from staying up late for too long, working overtime, and desperately revising proposals.
As for the world Shaya was currently in, it was the setting of a manga that had been wildly popular worldwide in his previous life, a manga called One Piece.
It was a story told through the perspective of the protagonist, Pirate King Luffy, about the various major factions fighting over the legendary Great Treasure, One Piece.
And the new identity Shaya had been reborn into after dying from overwork was that of a World Noble whose power stood above all races of the world: a Celestial Dragon, one of the descendants of the twenty kings who had founded the World Government, known as descendants of the Creator and members of the race of gods!
In this world, the Celestial Dragons controlled the World Government, the strongest force in the world. Under the World Government stood the true rulers of the seas—the Marines! They were unquestionably the world's most powerful force! Whether it was the Marines loyal to the Celestial Dragons or the Celestial Dragons themselves, no other force could shake them.
Just how outrageous was the preferential treatment enjoyed by the Celestial Dragons?
Simply put, if a Celestial Dragon walked down the street and an ordinary civilian saw him, that civilian had to kneel immediately. Refuse to kneel, and die...
Even powerful pirates had to hide in corners and make way for them!
If a Celestial Dragon took a dislike to any civilian, he could simply shoot them dead. If he fancied some handsome man or beautiful woman, he could just take them away...
In other words, they were beasts who did nothing human.
All they had to do was stop acting human.
At the same time, the Celestial Dragons led by the Five Elders and Imu, the master of the Void Throne and the hidden king of the world, were also the greatest villains in the manga One Piece.
According to Shaya's memories, around twenty-eight years later, in 1522 of the Sea Circle Calendar,
a certain boy with an absurdly powerful background—whose grandfather was the Hero of the Marines, whose father led the Revolutionary Army, whose guide was one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, and whose teacher was the Pirate King's right-hand man...
that rubber boy from Foosha Village in the Goa Kingdom of the East Blue would, beneath the club of the world's greatest teacher in the pirate world, Teacher Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea...
awaken from an ordinary Paramecia rubber boy into the greatest enemy in Celestial Dragon history: the Mythical Zoan Sun God Nika, thereby triggering a crisis in Celestial Dragon rule.
But that had nothing to do with Shaya...
Aside from being a Celestial Dragon, Shaya was also the younger brother of Red-Haired Shanks, the one-armed King of Connections and Emperor of the Sea who would guide the protagonist, Pirate King Luffy.
As long as he clung to Shanks's thigh after Luffy came charging in, admitted his mistakes, and repented sincerely, he probably would not have much trouble surviving for the sake of their bloodline.
By the time Luffy came for them, he would already be forty. At middle age, he would be past his prime in that department anyway, so it would be time to return to an ordinary life and focus on taking care of his health.
Before that, all Shaya had to do was be an ordinary beast of a man...
Uh, no, a Celestial Dragon...
As for now, if he had to sum it up in one word, it was: party!
He had suffered enough as livestock in his previous life.
In this life, Shaya would neither be livestock nor a human!
Humanity had limits...
Starting today, Shaya would be like the other Celestial Dragons: a carefree, vacant-looking, lawless beast who only knew how to throw parties!
Mm, Shaya had finally leveled up.
Ding!
Just as Shaya decided to spend this life properly being a beast, worthy of his identity as a human beast of burden, an incredibly familiar system notification suddenly rang out in his mind!
Yes, it was the indispensable cheat of a transmigrator.
"System! State your wish!"
Shaya remained calm, not the slightest bit delighted by the system's awakening.
"Ding my ass!"
"I'm already a Celestial Dragon, so what the hell do I need some damn system for?"
"All I want in this life is to throw parties. No one can stop me, and I mean it!"
"System, don't even think about making me do a single task for you!"
"I'm a Celestial Dragon! Rich, powerful, lawless, and absolutely never working for anyone..."
Shaya looked incomparably impassioned. He was a Celestial Dragon now, after all. Unless this cheat was exceptionally useful, he had no interest in it. If it was one of those idiotic systems that forcibly assigned tasks and erased him if he failed, then it would be better off never awakening! Even if it helped him become stronger, it would not be as useful as the convenience brought by his status as a Celestial Dragon.
Having finally been reborn as a Celestial Dragon in this life, there was no way Shaya would work for a system. He would just gather beauties from across the seas, throw parties every day, eat, drink, and wait for death...
