Chapter Summaries

Rayne, a modern office worker, woke in Loguetown as a fifteen-year-old Marine executioner and was forced to shoot a prisoner. After discovering he was in the One Piece world in 1498, he broke down, but the Sin Judgment System appeared and bound itself to him.

• Rayne awoke on an execution platform in Loguetown wearing a Marine uniform and was ordered to shoot a prisoner.
• Rayne's inherited memories surfaced, and his body pulled the trigger, killing the prisoner.
• Rayne learned he was in the One Piece world in Sea Circle Calendar 1498 and realized Luffy's voyage was still more than twenty years away.
• Rayne fled to an alley, vomited, and saw his pale, frightened reflection in the sewage.
• The Sin Judgment System announced its successful binding, and Rayne reacted with desperate hope.

After executing pirate “Bonecrusher” Cass, Rayne discovered the Sin Judgment System and chose to inherit a portion of Cass’s physique. The transformation left Rayne much stronger but ravenously hungry, and his personal panel showed 120 Sin Points.

• Rayne returned to his isolated barracks room and summoned the Sin Judgment System.
• Rayne studied Cass’s judgment archive and learned that the system required a Crime Index of at least 100 and rewarded execution participation.
• Rayne compared the three rewards and chose to inherit a small amount of Cass’s physique.
• Rayne endured a painful transformation, gained strength, and was overwhelmed by hunger.
• Rayne checked his personal panel, which identified him as Corvo Rayne, a fifteen-year-old Seaman Third Class with a Beginner physique and 120 Sin Points.

Rayne discovered the system’s strength rankings and learned that gaining power would require executing criminals, then realized he was in Loguetown before Gol D. Roger’s execution. He planned to lie low and wait for the chance to earn a massive reward.

• Rayne ate five cafeteria meals to quiet the hunger caused by his new strength.
• Rayne inspected the system and learned its level rankings, five-tier grading scale, and that the Exchange Shop was inaccessible.
• Rayne decided to use his Marine identity to lie low and grow stronger by executing criminals.
• Rayne recognized Loguetown and reasoned that Gol D. Roger had not yet been executed.
• Rayne became excited at the prospect of waiting for Roger’s execution and earning a huge system reward.

Three months after arriving in the world, Rayne had grown stronger and earned the Loguetown marines’ respect, but ordinary pirates now gave him little nourishment. A marine delivered the file for Rayne’s next execution assignment, leaving him to review the prisoner’s case before tomorrow afternoon.

• Rayne recalled how he had beaten three veterans who tried to take his food, ending the harassment at the naval base.
• Rayne reflected on his growth, his goal of reaching Emperor-level power, and his impatience for Gol D. Roger to turn himself in.
• Rayne gained only a slight boost from executing Iron Hook Jack, then checked his panel and saw his Intermediate physique, 2,150 Sin Points, and basic combat skills.
• Rayne recalled that reading prisoners’ case files had eased his guilt by convincing him that those he executed deserved their punishment.
• A marine told Rayne he had an assignment tomorrow afternoon and handed him the prisoner’s file.

Rayne executed Buck, a pirate who had murdered six people after discovering that a merchant was trafficking slum children, and unlocked Buck’s Last Wish. The chapter ended with Rayne learning that Buck had entrusted Hawk’s infant grandchild to a woman in the slums and asking him to deliver his hidden savings to her.

• Rayne heard Loguetown’s civilians mourn Buck, then carried out his execution after the Navy officer announced his sentence.
• The system showed Buck’s R5 level, a Sin Index of 270, and a newly available Last Wish List.
• Rayne activated the Last Wish List and witnessed Buck discover Hawk’s ledger of children sold into slavery before killing Hawk and his family.
• Rayne saw Buck find Hawk’s infant grandchild, entrust the baby to a trusted woman in the slums, and surrender himself to the Navy.
• The system revealed Buck’s last wish: Rayne had to retrieve Buck’s hidden savings and deliver them to the woman raising the infant.

Rayne chose Buck’s intermediate physique inheritance, endured its painful transformation, and ate eleven trays of food to satisfy his resulting hunger. He secretly delivered Buck’s hidden money and last wish to the intended recipient, completing the entrustment and earning another choice from Buck’s remaining benefits.

• Rayne compared Buck’s Crime Index with the crimes associated with the Great Pirate Era, then focused on the benefits available from Buck.
• Rayne selected Buck’s intermediate physique inheritance and absorbed the power, leaving him exhausted and ravenously hungry.
• Rayne ate eleven trays of food in the mess hall before his hunger finally subsided.
• Rayne retrieved Buck’s hidden Beli from an abandoned brewery and left the money and a letter at the home of the woman Buck’s memories identified.
• Rayne completed Buck’s last wish, and the system rewarded him with another selection from Buck’s remaining benefits.

Rayne chose Stealth as his reward, then discovered the system shop and learned how it could upgrade skills he already possessed. He spent most of his Sin Points improving his swordsmanship and shooting before dismissing the shop’s costly monthly curiosity.

• Rayne chose Intermediate Stealth from the optional rewards and absorbed its knowledge and muscle memory.
• Rayne noticed the shop had unlocked and found that it sold weapons, items, skill upgrades, and Haki upgrades that required him to have learned the basics first.
• Rayne concluded that the shop could improve existing abilities but could not grant Physique or teach entirely new skills, so he planned to prioritize rare rewards and use Sin Points on skill upgrades.
• Rayne spent 2,000 Sin Points to upgrade his Basic Swordsmanship and Basic Shooting to Intermediate levels.
• Rayne inspected the monthly Dimensional Curiosity, an Outfit-Changing Camera priced at 50,000 Sin Points, and closed the page without buying it.

Rayne learned that Gol D. Roger had been captured and would be publicly executed in Loguetown in three months, then used a pirate assassination attempt to confirm that his Sin Judgment system worked beyond official executions. After gaining rewards from the four attackers, he strengthened his physique and prepared for Roger's arrival.

• Rayne trained until his swordsmanship reached the Intermediate realm and realized his physique was close to its next breakthrough.
• The Marines announced that Vice Admiral Garp had captured Gol D. Roger, and news spread that Roger would be executed publicly in Loguetown three months later.
• Diego's surviving pirates learned Rayne's identity and plotted to kill him at the Marine base that night.
• Rayne sensed the intruders, defeated all four without weapons, and staged their deaths as a fight over loot.
• Rayne checked the Judgment Archive, confirmed that Sin Judgment worked outside the execution ground, and chose Body Inheritance for all four pirates.

After three months of calm seas, Rayne continued training and grew stronger, while Loguetown filled with Marines and outsiders anticipating trouble. He was summoned to meet Marine Headquarters chief strategist Vice Admiral Tsuru, whose arrival left the story poised for a major development.

• Rayne trained on a coastal cliff and shattered a reef with a punch, realizing he could grow stronger without the System, though much more slowly.
• Rayne reviewed his status, noting his improved physique, new Cooking and Navigation skills, and 220 Sin Points.
• Rayne saw Loguetown crowded with reporters, bounty hunters, and violent pirates, while elite soldiers tightened security at the Marine base.
• Captain Stork summoned Rayne and warned him to be careful with the important visitor from Headquarters.
• Rayne entered the office and saw that the visitor was Vice Admiral Tsuru, Marine Headquarters' chief strategist.

Vice Admiral Tsuru ordered Corvo Rayne to execute Gol D. Roger in three days without a mask, while Rayne rejected a promotion to preserve his quiet life as an executioner. On the night before the execution, he prepared his rifle and wondered how much experience Roger would be worth.

• Vice Admiral Tsuru questioned Rayne about his work and chose him to carry out Gol D. Roger's execution before the world.
• Tsuru offered Rayne an exceptional promotion to captain, but Rayne pretended to refuse it out of devotion to duty.
• Tsuru scheduled Roger's execution for three days later and ordered Rayne to remain at the Navy base.
• Captain Stork questioned Rayne after he left Tsuru's office, but Rayne told him it had only been routine work matters.
• On the night before the execution, Rayne cleaned and reassembled his rifle, then wondered how much Roger was worth.

Rayne escorted Gol D. Roger to his execution in Loguetown, where he hesitated when ordered to fire, hoping Roger would make the declaration that would ignite a new era. Roger understood the pause and announced that his treasure awaited anyone who could find it at sea.

• Rayne joined the elite Marine escort and walked with Gol D. Roger through the crowded square to the execution platform.
• Rayne surveyed the crowd and spotted Shanks, Buggy, Mihawk, Crocodile, Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, Smoker, and Monkey D. Dragon.
• After Sengoku ordered Roger's execution, Rayne raised his rifle but froze, expecting Roger to speak first.
• Rayne gambled that Roger would make his famous declaration and raise his Crime Index before dying.
• Roger turned toward Rayne, then laughed and told the world to find his treasure at sea.

After Rayne executed Gol D. Roger, he chose to inherit Roger’s peak Observation Haki, but the torrent of new perceptions overwhelmed him and left him near death. Sengoku recognized Rayne’s sacrifice and ordered the medical unit to save him.

• Rayne executed Gol D. Roger, whose final declaration plunged Loguetown into chaos and marked the start of a new era.
• Rayne received a long list of inheritance rewards and, under a thirty-second deadline, selected Roger’s Observation Haki.
• The inherited Haki expanded Rayne’s hearing across Loguetown and flooded his mind with overwhelming information, causing him to collapse unconscious.
• Sengoku blamed Rayne for Roger’s declaration until Tsuru explained that Rayne had resisted Roger’s Conqueror’s Haki and was on the verge of death.
• Sengoku confirmed Rayne’s critical condition with Observation Haki and ordered the medical unit to save him.

After waking in the infirmary, Rayne learned that Tsuru had portrayed his role in Roger’s execution as a heroic stand against the Pirate King’s Conqueror’s Haki. He then discovered he could see possible futures, but realized his combat abilities might not be enough to survive what he foresaw.

• Tsuru told Rayne that the Marines considered him a hero for facing Roger’s Conqueror’s Haki and carrying out the execution.
• Rayne understood that Tsuru was using his story to counter Roger’s influence and felt relieved that his hesitation would not be punished.
• Rayne foresaw a nurse slipping and caught her while returning her scattered medicine bottles and syringes to the tray.
• Rayne tested his new ability by watching a seabird’s possible futures and correctly predicted it would steal a merchant’s bread.
• Rayne recognized the power as peak Observation Haki and worried that his physique and swordsmanship were too weak to act on what he foresaw.

Rayne spent most of his inherited Sin Points upgrading his skills, commissioning new weapons, and buying a Storage Ring. He then activated Gol D. Roger’s non-cancelable Last Wish and learned he must protect Roger’s only bloodline from an unavoidable death in the future.

• Rayne found that he could not yet upgrade his Haki, so he spent 250,000 Sin Points raising Swordsmanship and Shooting to top-tier and several other skills to advanced.
• Rayne customized a Skillful Grade Blade and a Fine Firearm, then bought a Storage Ring and stored the weapons inside it.
• Rayne activated Gol D. Roger’s Last Wish, which required him to find Roger’s only bloodline in the future and protect him once when facing an inevitable death.
• Rayne recognized the wish referred to the future Marineford war but decided it was decades away and set the concern aside for now.

Six months after Roger’s execution, Tsuru added Corvo Rayne to the new elite training camp and asked Garp to collect him from Loguetown. Rayne continued executing pirates from afar, but their meager rewards no longer seemed enough to help him reach the next level.

• Tsuru added Corvo Rayne of the Loguetown Marine Branch to the elite training camp list and called Garp to ask him to pick Rayne up.
• Garp agreed to Tsuru’s request after she reminded him that Rayne had executed Roger.
• Rayne used peak Observation Haki to locate Whipscar Garl aboard a distant pirate ship and shot him dead while fishing.
• Rayne split the pirate ship in two with a sword aura and collected rewards from its surviving pirates.
• Rayne concluded that R-rank and N-rank pirates could no longer meaningfully strengthen him and checked his status panel.

After six months of growing stronger in Loguetown, Corvo Rayne was ordered by Garp to join the Marine Elite Training Camp despite trying to refuse. On the voyage, Garp questioned Rayne about Gol D. Roger and ended by asking whether Roger had used Conqueror’s Haki on him before his execution.

• Rayne returned from fishing and learned that Garp had arrived in Loguetown and specifically wanted to see him.
• Garp ordered Rayne to board the Dog-Headed Warship and join the Elite Training Camp, dismissing Rayne’s attempt to remain in Loguetown.
• Rayne packed his belongings and left Loguetown aboard Garp’s warship, recognizing that the move could lead to stronger training and more powerful pirates.
• Garp asked Rayne what kind of person Gol D. Roger had been, and Rayne said Roger’s crime lay in the chaos his death would unleash.
• Garp sharply asked Rayne whether Roger had used Conqueror’s Haki on him before his execution.

Rayne avoided Garp’s interrogation by describing his experience with Roger as a resonance of wills, which intrigued Garp enough to let him stay aboard. After several quiet days at sea, Rayne arrived at Marineford with the Marines.

• Garp questioned Rayne about whether Roger had used Conqueror’s Haki, and Rayne said he could not identify what he had experienced.
• Rayne claimed Roger’s vast will had resonated with his own before he lost consciousness, and Garp laughed at the explanation.
• Garp stopped questioning Rayne, told him to settle into an empty cabin, and warned him not to cause trouble aboard the ship.
• Rayne kept a low profile during the voyage while Garp did not approach him again.
• Rayne saw Marineford’s enormous Justice gate on the horizon as the Navy soldiers announced their arrival.

Corvo Rayne arrived at Marineford and registered for the Elite Training Camp after the staff sergeant found his name on a list added by Vice Admiral Tsuru. He headed to his dorm, resolved to train hard during the coming year, and planned to master the Marine Six Powers and push his physique to the top-tier realm.

• Garp had a Marine escort Rayne through Marineford to the Elite Training Camp registration office.

• Rayne received his identity badge and key, learned that training began the next morning, and headed to Room 307.
• Rayne planned to master the Marine Six Powers, learn Life Return, and strengthen his physique during the year ahead.

Rayne arrived at Marine recruit training and found his roommate, Smoker, filling Room 307 with cigar smoke. Their argument turned into a fight in the hallway, and Instructor Iron Jaw sent them both to the confinement room overnight.

• Rayne entered Room 307 and found Smoker smoking in a filthy, smoke-filled dorm room.
• Rayne asked Smoker to smoke elsewhere and cited a made-up dormitory rule, but Smoker refused and blew smoke in his face.
• Smoker transformed his lower body into smoke and carried Rayne into the hallway, where the commotion drew other rookies to watch.
• Instructor Iron Jaw stopped the confrontation and ordered Rayne and Smoker to spend the night in the confinement room.

Rayne subdued Smoker in their confinement cell after Smoker attacked him and discovered that Rayne could strike through his Logia defenses. By morning, Rayne had warned Smoker to leave him alone and keep the incident secret.

• Smoker angrily confronted Rayne in the dark cell and punched at him.
• Rayne dodged Smoker’s punch and struck his abdomen with a blow that bypassed his smoke body, knocking him unconscious.
• Smoker woke at dawn and realized Rayne’s attack had not been a hallucination.
• Rayne told Smoker to stay out of his way, stop smoking in the dorm, and keep the incident secret.
