Chapter 1
Junichi Uchiha was preparing to defect.
He had recovered his memories of his previous life and realized that he was in the world of Naruto.
Unfortunately,
Itachi Uchiha was thirteen this year.
Anyone who had watched Naruto knew that Weasel had massacred his clan when he was thirteen.
So Junichi had no choice but to defect.
If he didn't run now, he'd be finished along with the Uchiha.
"Time to get out of here!"
Junichi grabbed his ninja tool pouch and got dressed, planning to take a mission outside the village and use it as an excuse to escape Konoha.
But the moment he stepped outside,
He suddenly froze in place.
The air was thick with the fresh stench of blood.
The streets, usually bustling with activity, were eerily quiet today. Not a single voice could be heard.
"No way..."
Junichi's expression instantly stiffened.
He rigidly raised his head and looked in a certain direction.
His instincts told him that danger lay that way.
Sure enough,
About sixty meters in the direction he was looking,
A boy with a mature-looking face and deep nasolabial folds stepped out of a clan member's home, the blade in his hand dripping with blood.
Itachi Uchiha!
Tonight was the night of the clan massacre!
"...Haha, that's it for this life." The light left Junichi's eyes, and he returned to his home like a walking corpse.
Damn it, there wasn't even time to run.
In the distance,
Itachi Uchiha noticed Junichi too.
He furrowed his brow slightly and searched his memory for information on the clan member.
"Junichi Uchiha."
"Fifteen years old, a Chunin, and hasn't awakened his Sharingan."
"No threat."
After confirming that, Itachi Uchiha looked away.
He was just a mediocre clan member. Itachi didn't care about him at all.
As for why Junichi hadn't run after seeing him,
Weasel didn't care either.
He was only a Chunin who hadn't awakened his Sharingan. When the time came to kill him, Itachi could simply interrogate him with genjutsu.
"No one can hide their secrets from these Mangekyō Sharingan!" Itachi Uchiha narrowed his eyes. The Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun and transformed into the shape of a giant pinwheel.
Boom!
A profound ocular power surged outward like a tidal wave.
In the next house,
A clan member with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan stared in horror at Itachi, who had just entered. "The Mangekyō!?"
Back at home,
Junichi lay calmly on the sofa.
He planned to greet his impending death with a peaceful sleep.
There was no winning this one.
Unless he got a cheat right this second.
[Ding-dong!]
Suddenly, a mechanical prompt sounded in his mind.
"What the heck?"
Junichi jolted upright, eyes wide with surprise.
"Did I imagine that?"
[World-Crossing System loading...]
[Proficiency System loading...]
[Loading complete!]
[The World-Crossing System is at your service!]
[The Proficiency System is at your service!]
In an instant, a mass of unfamiliar information appeared in his mind.
"It wasn't an illusion!"
"Holy crap, my cheat's here!"
"I can take back my surrender!"
Junichi's spirits soared as he quickly sorted through the information in his mind.
He had two systems as his cheat.
[World-Crossing System]-- [1. You can freely travel to another world. The currently bound world is: One Piece!] [2. Time in your original world will remain relatively still while you're away!] [3. The world will reject you after you cross over. Changing the course of history and acquiring resources will accelerate the rejection. Once it reaches its limit, you'll be forcibly sent back!] [4. There will be a cooldown period after each trip. You'll have to wait for the fluctuations in space-time to subside.] ... [Proficiency System--] [1. Skills are displayed on a panel.] [2. You gain proficiency by practicing or studying. Once it reaches the required amount, your skill level increases.] [3. Skill levels: Beginner (0/100), Proficient (0/1000), Expert (0/10,000), Master (0/100,000), and Transcendent (0/1,000,000)!] ...
"I see..."
A moment later, Junichi nodded in understanding.
He'd figured out how both systems worked.
He immediately summoned the system panel with a thought.
"Panel!"
Swish!
A translucent screen that only he could see appeared before his eyes.
[Host: Junichi Uchiha] [Age: 15] [Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique · Proficient (258/1000), Uchiha Style Swordsmanship · Proficient (14/1000), Ninja Tool Throwing Technique · Proficient (25/1000), Clone Technique · Proficient (101/1000), Transformation Technique · Proficient (143/1000), Substitution Technique · Proficient (119/1000), Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique · Proficient (78/1000), Genjutsu: Hell Viewing Technique · Proficient (156/1000), Genjutsu: Fox Mind Technique · Proficient (137/1000), Genjutsu: Mist Servant Technique · Proficient (103/1000)...]
Pathetic!
Junichi looked at the skills on the panel, the corners of his mouth twitching.
There were a lot of them, but they were all low-level skills.
And his highest proficiency level was only Proficient. Not one skill had reached Expert.
"My talent really is garbage!"
Junichi simply closed the panel. Out of sight, out of mind.
He'd put the Proficiency System aside for now.
There was no time to grind proficiency at the moment.
First, he had to cross over!
"System, I want to cross over!" Junichi said in his mind.
[World crossing initiated...]
[Choose a world to cross over to: 1. One Piece]
There was no choice at all, was there?
Junichi grumbled as he chose to cross over to One Piece.
[World selected: One Piece!]
[Begin crossing over?]
"Yes!"
[Crossing over begins!]
Whoosh!
White light surged toward Junichi.
The next moment,
The world spun around him, and he plummeted from the sky.
Splash!
Then he fell into the icy seawater.
"What was that?"
On a medium-sized sailboat nearby, two men poked their heads out.
Holding oil lamps, they scanned the sea below in the faint light.
But they didn't see anything.
Junichi had already nimbly dived underwater.
On the surface,
Only a splash remained, slowly fading away.
"Did you see anything?" one of the men asked.
"No." His companion shook his head.
They glanced at each other, shrugged, and pulled their heads back in.
"Probably just a dolphin or something."
"Yeah, those things aren't afraid of people."
They didn't think much of it and soon left.
As their footsteps faded away,
Junichi slowly surfaced. He gathered chakra in his palm and used the "tree-climbing" technique to stick himself to the hull.
"What kind of shitty system drops me in like that?"
His face was covered in exasperation.
Damn it, he'd fallen straight into the sea the moment he arrived.
If he'd reacted any slower, the people on the ship would have spotted him.
"First, I need to figure out what kind of ship this is." Junichi was extremely cautious.
The Pirate World was a place full of turmoil.
Who knew what kind of ship this was?
What if it belonged to pirates, the Celestial Dragons, or the World Government?
If he stumbled into any of them, things could get ugly.
"Let's scout out the situation first."
As he thought it over, Junichi coated all four of his limbs with chakra and clung to the hull.
Like a gecko, he quietly climbed up.
