The Boy of Cocoyasi Village

East Blue, Cocoyasi Village

"Senga, are you heading out to sea today?"

An old woman stood at the entrance of a butcher shop and called out to a young man. He was tall and lean, nearly two meters in height, with handsome features and a cold expression. His black hair was casually tied back, his skin was fair, and he wore a black robe with a pattern resembling a ping-pong ball on the back. Brown gloves covered his hands.

Most unforgettable were his eyes. They were violet, each filled with concentric black rings that radiated mystery and danger.

A faint smile appeared on the young man's cool face as he nodded at the old woman.

The young man was called Uchiha Senga. More accurately, he did not belong to this world. He had originally come from a planet called Blue Star, where he had been an orphan. By accident, he had transmigrated into the world of the Blue Star manga Naruto and become a member of the Uchiha Clan.

After his parents in his second life gave him the name Uchiha Senga, they died on the battlefield. Relying on memories from his previous life, he had become friends with Minato Namikaze early on. After learning the Flying Thunder God, he believed he had gained the strength to protect himself. Then, using a mission as an opportunity, he faked his death and remained outside Konoha.

He had kept a low profile and steadily grown stronger. Using information from his memories of Blue Star, he made deals with Orochimaru. In the end, with Orochimaru's help, he successfully fused the powers of Uchiha and Senju, awakening his own Rinnegan.

Who could have expected Orochimaru to ambush him while he was immersed in the joy of awakening his eyes? He overdraw the newly born Pupil Power and used his still-unfamiliar spatial ability, then lost consciousness.

When he regained consciousness, he was already on a small island, and his body had regressed to that of a six-year-old.

He quickly checked his condition after transmigrating. Fortunately, the hard-earned Hashirama Cells and Rinnegan were still there. However, due to his physical regression and the overdrawn Pupil Power, the strength he could use was limited.

Since this was not his first transmigration, he quickly adjusted his state of mind. After exploring the island for a day, he found this village called Cocoyasi.

When he saw a burgundy-haired woman named Bellemere with two little girls in the village, distant memories from his past life reminded him that he had arrived in the world of One Piece.

Since he was here, he might as well settle down. The villagers were simple and warm-hearted. Although his eyes frightened them, Granny Lisa from the butcher shop could not bear to see a six-year-old child wandering alone outside, so she took him in.

He settled down in the village, patiently waiting for his body to develop and adapting to the power of his eyes. Ten years had passed since then.

This year, he was sixteen.

It's about time. Although the overdraw back then prevented my Rinnegan's unique ability from developing, food and certain other things in the Pirate World seem to have made my body grow even stronger than before. The Hashirama Cells have also fused perfectly with my body. As expected of a world where almost everyone has absurd vitality. That disaster turned out to be a blessing? Uchiha Senga thought.

Senga clenched his fist and once again felt the surging power within him. His emotions also began to stir.

Based on the combat feats in the anime from his previous life, Senga estimated that without using any special abilities, his current strength had reached the level of an ordinary Vice Admiral in the Marines. There was still quite a gap between him and an Admiral.

However, as his body developed further and he came into contact with the Pirate World's power system, surpassing his former self and becoming one of the world's strongest was inevitable. And it would not take long.

It's time to head out to sea and take a look. In this world of One Piece, perhaps I can make another breakthrough and become a true Sage of Six Paths.

In this life, he planned to join the Marines for the time being.

On one hand, as someone who had once been from Earth, he naturally felt more affinity toward the military and was rather resistant to becoming a pirate. Although the Marines in the Pirate World had their corruption and flaws, they were generally on the right side, and they were, after all, the official force.

Aside from a few pirates such as the protagonist's crew, most pirates were scum who committed every kind of evil, burning, killing, and plundering. Senga did not consider himself a softhearted person. Back in Naruto's world, anyone who provoked him was killed if they deserved it. Still, he had his own moral bottom line.

On the other hand, joining the Marines would allow him to study this world's power system and give him more opportunities to encounter the Pirate World's distinctive Devil Fruits.

He had no intention of eating a Devil Fruit. With the Rinnegan, he already possessed six Chakra nature transformations, so Logia held little meaning for him.

The thousands of ninjutsu he had copied during his Sharingan days also meant he had little need for so-called Paramecia. As for Zoan, they were equally useless to him, since the Hashirama Cells had already given him a Sage Body.

So why give himself the additional weakness of being unable to swim? Still, there was something he wanted to confirm: could his Rinnegan's Preta Path affect Devil Fruit abilities or Ability Users? Could he use the power of Devil Fruits to evolve his Rinnegan once more?

He had a feeling that this might be his chance to break through his limits.

Setting those thoughts aside, Senga decided to go fishing one last time before setting sail. This time, he would catch more, because after he left, Granny Lisa's supply of goods might grow scarce.
