Pirates: Blood Feud, Slaughter the Celestial Dragons! Author: Night-Owl Champion

Synopsis: Waking up from a nap, Rono transmigrated into the pirate world.

He originally thought he could live a happy and peaceful life.

However, the appearance of the Celestial Dragons shattered this situation!

Rono watched helplessly as his parents were shot to death with random gunfire by the Celestial Dragons!

Under extreme rage, Rono awakened the system, swearing to slaughter all Celestial Dragons!

From then on, a [Most Evil Criminal] dedicated to hunting Celestial Dragons was born!

Wherever Rono went, the Celestial Dragons trembled in fear!

Marine Admiral?

Come two more and I'll still slaughter you bunch of trash!

Garp: Most Evil Criminal?

He is a monster personally created by the Celestial Dragons, and one day the Celestial Dragons will pay the price for it!

Roger: [Pirate King]?

Compared to the [Most Evil Criminal], it is nothing more than fleeting clouds!

Whitebeard: [World's Strongest Man]?

No, no, no, Rono is the truly strongest one!

Rocks: When it comes to killing Celestial Dragons, Rono is first, I am second, and everyone else is trash!

Chapter 1 Blood Feud, Slaughter the Celestial Dragons

Sea Circle Calendar 1483, 1 year before the God Valley Incident.

In the East Blue, a youth of about seventeen was weeping bitterly, his hands pounding continuously against the rocks before him. Even as his fists were beaten to a bloody pulp, he showed not the slightest intention of stopping.

Celestial Dragons, damn Celestial Dragons! Scum, beasts, the dregs of this world, sooner or later, I will wipe you from this world!

Sooner or later!

The youth was named Rono, and he was a transmigrator.

More than ten years ago, Rono transmigrated into the world of One Piece, at which time he was only a few years old.

In this world where powerhouses were as common as dogs and pirates ran rampant everywhere, young Rono had decent luck; he was spotted by a kind young couple who took him in and adopted him.

Over the next decade and more, under the meticulous care of the young couple, Rono grew up happily.

In Rono's heart, he had long regarded the young couple as his own biological parents.

Yet just two days ago, tragedy struck.

Rono's parents tragically fell victim to the vicious hands of the Celestial Dragons.

The reason was absurd as well: on a whim, a Celestial Dragon used a hunting rifle to shoot wildly at commoners!

Behavior like this was as commonplace to the Celestial Dragons as eating and drinking.

In the eyes of these Celestial Dragons, commoners were merely pigs and dogs, cattle and sheep, beasts, low-class people unworthy of breathing the same air as them.

Since they were low-class people, they could naturally be slaughtered at will.

Rono's mother had bad luck, getting hit by a stray bullet and dying on the spot.

Seeing his wife killed, the father instantly had his blood rush to his head, picked up an axe, and rushed forward, wanting to avenge the mother.

The ending was also self-evident; the father was riddled with bullet holes by the Celestial Dragons' guards and the Marines, dying a miserable death.

Watching this scene unfold right before his eyes, Rono suddenly found himself unable to stand steady!

Agony, a heart-wrenching pain!

Rono felt as though his heart and lungs had been hollowed out by someone!

Revenge, he had to avenge his parents!

Rono clenched his fists tightly, preparing to fight the Celestial Dragons to the death!

"Rono, you must hold back! Those people are Celestial Dragons; if you go now, you can only die. Don't be impulsive!"

At the crucial moment, a kind neighbor held Rono back firmly, unwilling to let him go throw his life away.

The other party was a Celestial Dragon, not something commoners could afford to provoke.

"These lowlifes died just like that? How boring... I thought they'd struggle a bit longer."

Spitting a thick glob of phlegm onto the two corpses, the Celestial Dragon left swaggering with his subordinates.

Young Rono could not overcome the obstruction of four or five adults, watching helplessly as the murderers who killed his parents swaggered away.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Bastard Celestial Dragons!"

After waiting for the Celestial Dragons to leave, Rono came before his parents' corpses, his knees slamming heavily onto the ground as he wept bitterly toward the sky!

Without any reason, the Celestial Dragons began firing into the crowd like madmen.

Clearly, his own parents were kind-hearted, good people, so why were they so unlucky?

Everything happened because of the Celestial Dragons!

Someone was backing this group of swine-like Celestial Dragons!

Even if they took it into their heads to shoot randomly at the crowd, they would never face any punishment!

Although Rono had despised the Celestial Dragons in his past life, that was only a surface-level hatred.

Now that he had crossed over into the world of pirates and truly experienced the bitter agony brought by the lawless tyranny of the Celestial Dragons—with his own family killed for no reason—Rono's hatred for the Celestial Dragons reached its absolute peak!

This bunch of human scum did not deserve to rule this world at all!

He had to make the Celestial Dragons pay a price!

A price in blood!

Kill!

Wipe out these beasts, he had to avenge his parents!

In Rono's mind, this thought continuously crystallized.

At the same time, Rono also knew that wanting to avenge his parents required possessing formidable strength.

These Celestial Dragons reigned as Celestial Dragons, guarded by powerful bodyguards, and just provoking them would cause the Marines to mobilize an Admiral!

Wanting to slaughter that bunch of Celestial Dragons required the terrifying strength to oppose the two major forces of the World Government and Marine Headquarters!

"Kill! Kill them!"

"Avenge my father, avenge my mother, I must!"

Rono suddenly erupted with intense emotions!

The next moment.

[Ding~ Sensing violent fluctuations in the host's emotions, successfully acquired Conqueror's Haki, God-Tier Pickup System activated!]

Hearing the voice in his mind, Rono paused for a moment, then immediately pulled himself together!

As a transmigrator, Rono had naturally heard of the power of systems.

With a system, he could grow strong rapidly!

One had to know that strength was the hard currency in this world.

Now was not the time for sadness; after the system awakened, Rono wiped away his tears, returned home, and began studying the system's functions.

After spending the entire night, Rono understood.

The God-Tier Pickup System, true to its name, could pick up all kinds of abilities.

This included the Three Types of Haki, Six Powers, hand-to-hand combat, Swordsmanship, physical conditioning, and all other abilities that could be picked up!

In addition, it could absorb Devil Fruits, using them to rapidly enhance a specific aspect of his own abilities.

In other words, his upper limit would be quite terrifying!

Whether it was the Three Types of Haki, Devil Fruit abilities, Swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, or even physical talents, he could elevate everything to the level of the World's Strongest!

He was going to become the most terrifying existence in this world, storming the Holy Land to slaughter every last one of those swine-like Celestial Dragons to comfort the departed spirits of his parents!

Rono clenched his fists and secretly made his decision in his heart.

"Open the system interface."

Rono quickly opened the system interface to first check what aspects he was lacking in.

[Host: Rono]
[Age: 17]
[Strength: 13 (Average human: 10)]
[Speed: 9 (Average human: 10)]
[Stamina: 19 (Average human: 10)]
[Haki: Conqueror's Haki (Intermediate).]
[Other Abilities: None]
[Devil Fruit Ability: None]

Scanning his stats, Rono gained a general understanding of his current strength.

Aside from awakening Conqueror's Haki, he was an absolute, ordinary person.

However, the current him was already filled with confidence for the future, no longer feeling the helplessness he had earlier.

Not only that, but Rono also discovered that, perhaps due to awakening Conqueror's Haki, his entire temperament had undergone a drastic change.

The youth who had originally looked harmless to humans and animals now faintly exuded an aura of majestic dignity without even being angry.

The next day, Rono prepared to test how the system's pickup ability was actually used.

Thus Rono came to the liveliest and most crowded place on the island.

"Poor child."

Rono walked down the street. The nearby villagers knew of his plight and cast kind, sympathetic glances his way.

Rono simply walked on by himself, too busy to heed the villagers greeting him.

This was because he noticed card-like items constantly dropping from every passerby, much like items dropping from monsters when playing a game.

*Ding* ~ Congratulations to the host for picking up 5 points of strength!

*Ding* ~ Congratulations to the host for picking up 3 points of strength!

*Ding* ~ Congratulations to the host for picking up 4 points of speed!

*Ding* ~ Congratulations to the host for picking up 8 points of stamina!

*Ding* ~ Congratulations to the host for picking up 3 points of stamina!

They were all basic stats like speed, strength, and stamina. After all, the villagers here were ordinary people and lacked Devil Fruit Users and Haki users; otherwise, there would certainly have been far more than just these attributes.

Still, every little bit helped, and these basic stats could also grant Rono a tremendous boost.

After all, in this world, martial arts were an essential component of strength, and there were even a rare few powerhouses who didn't rely on fruit abilities and reached the world's top tier purely by cultivating martial arts.

Furthermore, the three attributes of speed, strength, and stamina determined just how much destructive power a person's martial arts possessed.

*Ding* ~ Congratulations to the host for picking up 3 points of strength!

*Ding* ~ Congratulations to the host for picking up 2 points of stamina!

*Ding* ~ Congratulations to the host for picking up 6 points of speed!

Watching his three fundamental stats grow rapidly, Rono could feel his physical fitness leaping forward at a tremendous speed as well!
