Time flew by, and several years passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the years, Mislanda remained with the Roger Pirates and became good friends with Shanks and Buggy.
Since Shanks was younger, he usually took good care of Mislanda.
But they had no idea that the person they cared for so much was actually a transmigrator.
That was right—Mislanda was a transmigrator!
Originally, he had been a university student. Since he had never seen the sea in his previous life, he had said he wanted to set sail across the ocean the first time he visited the seaside.
As a result... he was sent here by a pillar of light and turned into a child!
At first, Mislanda refused to accept it, but since he was already here, he soon got used to it.
As a member of the Roger Pirates, Mislanda spent his days running around with them!
He longed to become stronger, but what could he do with this body?
"Ah, why did you send me here?!"
Mislanda stood at the bow of the ship and shouted at the heavens.
Hadn't he transmigrated? Where was his cheat? Where was his system? Didn't transmigrators come with standard equipment?
That was right, Mislanda had watched One Piece, but that had taken place after Luffy's time. Right now, Luffy wasn't even a cell yet!
What the hell was this?
"At least give me something!"
Mislanda shouted in dissatisfaction!
Hearing Mislanda's roar, Rayleigh slowly walked over.
"Hey, Mislanda, stop shouting nonsense. There's an island nearby. We're going ashore to rest for a while!"
People couldn't sail on the sea forever. They had to land on an island every so often to replenish their supplies.
Moreover, the Roger Pirates had fought a major battle against the Marines not long ago and needed to rest.
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
In the days that followed, Mislanda experienced many things with the Roger Pirates and visited many places.
Soon, the year 1497 of the Sea Circle Calendar arrived!
Two years ago, the Roger Pirates had defeated the greatest pirate crew in the New World—the Flying Pirates, led by Golden Lion.
After the Rocks Pirates were defeated at God Valley, Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Big Mom... and all those powerful figures had gone their separate ways.
Among them, the ambitious Golden Lion established the greatest pirate crew in the world!
But Golden Lion didn't have the protagonist's halo!
At this point in time, Roger was the child of destiny. Thus, Golden Lion was defeated and suffered severe injuries!
After defeating Golden Lion, the Roger Pirates found the Four Red Road Poneglyphs and prepared to head to Laugh Tale!
This was also the year Roger would become the Pirate King!
But while they were heading to Laugh Tale, Buggy suddenly fell seriously ill for some reason, and Shanks volunteered to take care of him.
Mislanda wasn't interested in that One Piece either. He only wanted to become the strongest person in the world... and that was all!
Thus, the three of them didn't go to Laugh Tale, and they had no idea what was there!
After returning from Laugh Tale, everyone fell silent.
After pondering for several months, Roger made a decision that shocked everyone: he wanted to turn himself in!
That was right—Roger wanted to turn himself in!
Roger was already terminally ill and didn't have much time left. He still wanted to do something meaningful.
Everyone opposed his decision, but in the end, they still couldn't change Roger's mind.
After Roger sailed off in a small boat to turn himself in, the Roger Pirates announced their disbandment.
The Pirate King, Roger, had turned himself in, but the Marines didn't announce that he had done so. Instead, they declared that he would be publicly executed.
The location was Roger's hometown, Loguetown in the East Blue!
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Rayleigh drank all night and sighed all night.
"Old man, take me to Loguetown. I want to go see it!"
After the Roger Pirates disbanded, Mislanda followed Rayleigh around. He still hadn't decided where to settle down.
Hearing Mislanda, Rayleigh eventually nodded. He would take Mislanda to Loguetown to see Roger off on his final journey.
Just as they were heading to Loguetown, another bombshell arrived.
Golden Lion Shiki had wreaked havoc on Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, but was ultimately defeated by the combined forces of Garp and Sengoku and imprisoned in Impel Down.
As for Golden Lion, he really had guts. He had dared to do something like that all by himself!
In the blink of an eye, the time for the execution arrived.
Early in the morning, several Marine Warships arrived in Loguetown.
At the very front of the fleet was a dog-headed Warship. It was Marine Hero Garp's flagship, and he was also in charge of transporting the prisoner this time!
Under his escort, Roger was brought to Loguetown!
For a moment, the people of Loguetown erupted. They crowded both sides of the streets, wanting to see what the Pirate King looked like!
Soon, Roger appeared under Marine escort, his hands shackled.
Although he wore shackles, Roger's Haki remained undiminished, and there wasn't the slightest trace of fear on his face!
He possessed the bearing of a King. Even on the verge of death, he would never lower his head!
Mislanda stood on a rooftop and watched Roger from afar.
After dropping Mislanda off, Rayleigh left Loguetown and planned to return the next day to pick him up.
Rayleigh didn't want to witness Roger's execution!
(Ding! The main storyline has begun. System awakening!)
Suddenly, an unexpected voice rang out in Mislanda's mind, nearly making him lose his footing and fall.
Once he recovered, Mislanda almost cursed.
So he really did have a cheat!
"Damn it, why did you only show up now?!"
(Ding! The host is in the world of pirates, so naturally the system had to wait until the Great Pirate Era began before awakening!)
"Fine, fine, I'm too lazy to ask about that now. Tell me, what can you do?"
(Ding! I assign missions to the host and then provide corresponding rewards!)
"Do I have a mission now?"
(Yes!) (Ding! Mission issued: Help Roger launch the Great Pirate Era. Reward: Perfect Dark-Dark Fruit!) (Ding! The Perfect Dark-Dark Fruit has no drawback of doubled pain, allows elemental transformation, and is not restricted by Seastone or seawater!)
Looking at the light screen that appeared before him, Mislanda froze for a moment.
The Dark-Dark Fruit? Wasn't that Blackbeard's ability?
Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach—Mislanda had met him before.
"I have a question. If I eat this Perfect Dark-Dark Fruit, will a new Dark-Dark Fruit appear again?"
(Ding! Of course it will. This system produced it, so it has nothing to do with this world!)
The Dark-Dark Fruit!
After reading the system's explanation, Mislanda immediately made up his mind.
He was only eight years old and couldn't undergo high-intensity training yet. This Dark-Dark Fruit had come at exactly the right time—and it was even the perfect version!
"Not bad!"
Mislanda then looked toward the execution plaza. Roger had already arrived in front of the execution platform!
