Transmigration Upon Transmigration

"Damn you, heavens!"

Zhu Mang stood at the doorway of a house, staring up at the massive ball of light slowly descending toward him, and couldn't help but curse at the sky.

Around him were others just like him, people with tails growing from their backs, some staring blankly while others looked up at the sky in mental collapse.

That was right, he had transmigrated, and he had become a Saiyan, a member of the warrior race.

Although he was only a low-level Saiyan warrior with a power level of one thousand, he had already mapped out his future path.

He would find an opportunity to escape Planet Vegeta, head to Earth to refine his use of Ki, and with enough effort, perhaps he could become a Super Saiyan. At the very least, he could find a remote planet; with a power level of one thousand, he could surely "rule as king."

After all, King Piccolo, who once brought terror to Earth, only had a power level of a few hundred.

However, before he could finish his daydream and begin his plan, he heard people outside shouting and screaming.

The female Saiyan warrior lying beside him threw an energy blast outside in annoyance and kicked Zhu Mang off the bed.

"What the hell is going on out there? It's so noisy! Go take a look!"

When Zhu Mang stepped outside, he saw that little bastard sitting in a hover-pod, tossing a giant ball of light right at his head!

And then...

And then he didn't know anything else.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in a forest.

"Hm? What kind of place is this? Did I transmigrate again?"

Zhu Mang scanned the surroundings, which were completely different from Planet Vegeta, and felt how light his body was; this meant the gravity here was far lower than on Planet Vegeta.

As an "old hand" who had already transmigrated once, he quickly realized this.

"What a pity about the luscious Selina."

Zhu Mang's mind conjured the image of the female Saiyan warrior he had spent a night of passion with. She was a high-level warrior with a power level of five thousand. Zhu Mang had gone to great lengths to woo her, intending to use her connections to secure a spaceship and find a chance to slip away.

He hadn't expected that after sacrificing his dignity, he would be killed by that bastard Frieza before he could even reach the next step of his plan.

Fortunately, the result was the same.

He had actually succeeded in escaping!

It was just that he had escaped a bit too far...

"So, where exactly is this? Which world? A parallel universe of Dragon Ball? Another universe in the main timeline? Or did I transmigrate to the past like Bardock?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Mang shuddered, beginning to worry.

At the end of the day, he was just a small fry with a power level of one thousand.

Never mind the late stages of Dragon Ball where power levels collapsed and were measured in the hundreds of millions or even billions; even in the early stages, his power level of one thousand wasn't much to write home about.

At most, he was just a "large-sized cannon fodder."

"Eh? What is this?" Zhu Mang rubbed his eyes.

He noticed a small black dot in the center of his vision.

No, to be more precise, it was a line of very small text.

As he focused on it, the text began to grow larger.

[Start the game?]

"What the hell? A game? Did that naked little shrimp hit me into a game? Could it be... Bulma's Adventure, or Master Roshi's... Hehe... No, no, this must be my cheat, right? Why didn't I see it before?"

"Forget it, since it's my cheat, then... Yes!"

[Game started!]

Caw, caw, caw—

Zhu Mang stared with wide eyes, waiting for a long time.

However, nothing happened.

???

Are you kidding me?

Where's the game?

System?

Customer service?

Where's the starter pack?

Couldn't you at least give me a beginner's gift or something?

Under Zhu Mang's persistent calling, an extremely crude "panel" finally appeared before him.

Host: Zhu Mang

Travel count: 2

Current world: Unknown, awaiting discovery

Available travels: 0

So, Dragon Ball was the first world, and this is the second, is that it...

Zhu Mang was quite speechless.

His system might be the most rudimentary in history; forget about rewards or anything of the sort, it seemed to only possess a single function: travel.

And even that sole function came with no clear conditions for use.

Heaven knows how one is supposed to earn more "available travels."

Caw! Caw! Caw!

Just then, a bird's cry suddenly rang out above his head.

Huh?

Zhu Mang's eyes lit up.

He had spent the entire night battling a high-ranking female Saiyan warrior and hadn't even managed to get up for a meal before King Frieza "sent" him on this journey with a single blast. His stomach was growling.

To hell with that "game" or whatever it was; let it be!

Of all the things in the world, eating was the most important.

Time to roast a little bird for a snack!

Zhu Mang jerked his head up, following the sound.

His fierce gaze locked onto the bird that had deliberately slowed its flight to pass slowly over his head.

The bird was instantly startled, realizing this was no ordinary guest, and frantically flapped its wings to flee.

Whoosh!

Zhu Mang's figure appeared right in front of it, cutting off its path.

"This bird... why does it look so familiar?" Zhu Mang pinched the bird's neck with one hand, examining its appearance with a thoughtful look.

It was obvious this wasn't a wild bird; it wore a cap on its head and a mailbag hung around its neck. Inside the open bag, a thick stack of papers was visible.

Zhu Mang reached out and pulled the stack of papers directly from the bag.

"Caw! Caw! Caw!" His act of blatant theft clearly displeased the bird, which flapped its wings and cursed him out.

Unfortunately, Zhu Mang couldn't understand a single word.

"This is..."

[Eustass Kid, Captain of the Kid Pirates, Bounty: 315,000,000 Berries, Dead or Alive!]

[Basil Hawkins, Captain of the Hawkins Pirates, Bounty: 249,000,000 Berries, Dead or Alive!]

[Trafalgar Law, Captain of the Heart Pirates, Bounty: 200,000,000 Berries...]

"This, this, this..."

Zhu Mang's face went from stunned to frantic as he flipped through the thick stack of papers, quickly finding the one he recognized most.

On the bounty poster was a boy wearing a straw hat, flashing a massive grin.

[Monkey D. Luffy, Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Bounty: 300,000,000 Berries, Dead or Alive!]

"Holy crap, hahahahaha, it really is this world!!! Hahahaha!!!"

The shock on Zhu Mang's face turned into wild ecstasy.

One Piece!

This was One Piece!

It wasn't that he loved One Piece so much—though before he transmigrated, there was a time he enjoyed the manga—but ever since the plot moved into the New World, especially the Wano arc, the power scaling had collapsed, and combined with the crushing stress of being a corporate slave, he had lost all desire to keep reading.

But now, this was an absolute, unexpected windfall!

He had been worried earlier that with his power level of one thousand, no matter which parallel universe of Dragon Ball he ended up in, survival wouldn't be easy.

After all, Dragon Ball was filled with gods; even if he tried to hide away somewhere, the Androids, Zamasu, or even the Omni-King could wipe him out in an instant.

But now, things were different.

This was the world of pirates!

What was the peak of power in the pirate world?

People always said the Admirals and the Four Emperors were on the same level, but in reality, whether it was an Admiral or an Emperor, going all-out would only destroy an island.

In Dragon Ball terms, that was roughly the level of King Piccolo?

He remembered that when King Piccolo threatened the dog king, he used a single hand to release a blast that instantly destroyed half a city.

Considering Dragon Ball was a modern urban setting while this world was more primitive, it was probably about the same.

In other words, the Admirals and the Four Emperors only had a power level of around two or three hundred?

Holy crap!

And he had a power level of one thousand...

He was rich, he was set; this was a god-tier opening!
