High Seas: My Pirate Life Begins by Rejecting the Flame-Flame Fruit

(Not a One Piece Fanfic + Devil Fruits + D&D-Inspired Elements + Seafaring + Stat Panels + Struggle for Supremacy)

Ever since the discovery of the New World a century ago, the entire world has entered a sweeping Age of Exploration!

Countless ambitious souls, unwilling to settle for mediocrity, set sail. It is the best of times: some rise from obscurity to become legends.

It is the worst of times: others fall into the dust and find their graves at sea.

Tang En transmigrates aboard a merchant ship that has just been plundered by pirates.

The supposed good news? He comes with an external stat panel-but practically everyone in this world has one.

The actual good news? He has a cheat that lets him draw prizes.

Congratulations! You have drawn the Flame-Flame Fruit.

The Flame-Flame Fruit? The one so infamous that even a dog wouldn't eat it?

"Pah! Whoever wants this Flame-Flame Fruit can have it! Even if I, Tang En, die at sea-even if I have to jump off this ship-I will never eat it!"

(P.S. He really won't change his mind.)
