Tragic Transmigration

East Blue, a certain sea area.

A young man stood on the ship, quietly gazing at the sea, a world of azure. A thin, transparent mist enveloped the surface, and the wind carried the fragrance of the air.

The young man's name was Leiyin. He was a sixteen-year-old high school student who had inexplicably transmigrated into this world a little over a month ago while watching the Pirate King anime.

In his previous life, he was a person of average family background, average height, and almost everything else was average. The only thing that was somewhat passable was his appearance, but he wasn't strikingly handsome.

He originally thought that transmigrating to this world would allow him to achieve great things, but what awaited him was a tragic fate that left him dumbfounded.

When others transmigrate, they are either direct descendants of high-ranking Navy officials like Sengoku and Garp, or sworn brothers of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger.

But what about Leiyin?

He was captured and put on a Pirate ship, as a miserable, low-ranking shipwright. Doing rough and miscellaneous work such as repairing ships, dropping anchor, raising sails, and carrying heavy objects.

It couldn't be more tragic.

And the captain of this ship was Joker Buggy, a Paramecia Dizzy-Dizzy Fruit user, with a current Bounty of 6 million Belly, and still a relatively unknown Pirate. As for being called the "Immortal Body of East Blue" with a Bounty of 15 million Belly, that was something that would happen later.

With a loud "smack," Leiyin was slapped on the head. He covered his head, turned around, and saw a burly man with a stubbly face glaring at him fiercely.

His name was Tom, an ordinary combatant of the Buggy Pirates, with a lot of brute strength and a fondness for bullying the weak.

Tom said, "Kid, you're quite leisurely, aren't you? Have you finished filling the ammunition that Buggy-sama asked you to do? You actually have the leisure to look at the sea here?"

Leiyin didn't say anything, silently being driven by this guy into the ship's cabin below the deck, continuing to fill ammunition for Buggy.

It wasn't that Leiyin didn't dare to resist, but that he really couldn't beat this guy. He remembered that on the second day after he was captured, Tom bullied him, and he fought back, but was beaten to a pulp by this guy, and it wasn't until last week that the injuries he sustained from Tom's beating had healed somewhat.

Although Leiyin wasn't afraid of anything, he understood the principle that a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him.

In his current state of being unable to even lift a chicken, fighting him head-on would basically be useless except for adding more injuries to his body.

When I become strong, I will definitely not let you go! Leiyin thought to himself.

But how could he become strong? That was the question. Strength wouldn't fall from the sky like a pie.

Speaking of which, the power of this world can be roughly divided into three types: Devil Fruit, Martial Arts, and Swordsmanship.

To obtain a Devil Fruit, you either need a good opportunity, such as stumbling upon one while wandering around on an island (and after eating it with great joy, it turns out to be the Human-Human Fruit, which is useless for humans to eat, and you'll also become a hammer, talk about a pitfall. Just kidding); or you need a lot of money, for example, the Paramecia Rubber-Rubber Fruit and some Zoan types cost about 100 million Belly on the market; or you need to have some strength yourself and snatch it from others.

In summary, Leiyin didn't have any of these, so he didn't even think about Devil Fruit.

Then there's Martial Arts and Swordsmanship. Even if Leiyin did push-ups or squats every day for physical training, it would at most make his body stronger and more resistant to beatings. It was impossible to beat so many people in the Buggy Pirates.

Moreover, on this Pirate ship, it was impossible for him to train his physical abilities to the point of learning combat skills like Rokushiki, because he simply didn't know them. If he knew Rokushiki, even if he only knew one move, Shigan, Leiyin would stab a bunch of bloody holes in Tom's body.

But reality told Leiyin: Go cool off somewhere.

If things continued like this, when would he be able to get ahead? Was he just going to be bullied, humiliated, reprimanded, and bossed around on that damned Joker's ship, until he was old and gray, and then abandoned when he was useless, and finally spend the rest of his life in loneliness and misery?

Why was he so unlucky?

Thinking of this, Leiyin's expression gradually dimmed, and his emotions turned from disappointment to despair.

Gradually, with despairing emotions, Leiyin fell asleep on the cold deck of the bottom level.

The next day, just as the sky was beginning to show some dawn, while Leiyin was still asleep, the sound of "thump thump" footsteps came from the stairs of the lowest level cabin, and a burly man appeared next to Leiyin, rudely kicking him awake while he was still sound asleep.

The burly man was none other than Tom, who always liked to bully him.

Leiyin's originally drowsy eyes immediately became angry.

However, seeing such angry eyes, Tom was not afraid at all, but looked at Leiyin with interest, wanting to see what this guy could do to him.

This look was like a weakling roaring, like a cat hissing.

The anger of the weak will not make people feel scared at all.

Tom almost laughed out loud when he saw Leiyin's expression, "What's wrong, kid? Are you not satisfied?" Saying that, he grabbed Leiyin's hair and shook it desperately.

Leiyin was furious and punched Tom.

With Leiyin's thin body, this punch was like a mosquito bite, or rather, not even as good as a mosquito bite.

Because Tom grabbed his wrist with his big hand in one go.

"Damn, you dare to fight back, I'll kill you!" Saying that, Tom clenched his big hand into a fist and punched Leiyin in the face. Leiyin fell on the deck, a light red fist mark forming on his face, and his teeth were almost knocked out.

Tom still didn't think it was enough, and kicked Leiyin hard, the force causing Leiyin to roll and hit the wall of the cabin.

Leiyin was beaten all over with pain, but he didn't utter a sound from beginning to end.

"Damn, let you know how powerful I am, be honest in the future, otherwise I'll beat you three times a day like this!"

"Also, hurry up and go to work for me, don't be so slow like a sissy here."

After speaking, Tom raised his eyebrows triumphantly, twisted his slightly fat body, and walked to the upper deck humming a little tune, like a General returning in triumph.

Leiyin endured the pain and slowly got up from the ground.

This is how the weak are, not to mention dignity, they hardly even have the right to basic survival.

Leiyin couldn't help but think of the Shichibukai Crocodile's words: So-called weakness is a sin.

No, I must become strong.

Strong?

The very thought of that word made Leiyin laugh.

Where could it even go to get powerful now?

There was basically no possibility.

And so, Leiyin had an idea.

Assassinate Tom!

It might as well go all-in, fight to the death, and perish together with it, never having to suffer its stifling anger again.

When faced with danger, why fear death? When there is no way forward, why seek to return!
