Chapter Summaries

Old Quill ordered the Giant Tooth repaired after Gannis the [Oathkeeper] plundered half its cargo and killed Pols, leaving him to consider turning pirate. Dunn Campbell, a sailor who had died of fright during Gannis’s attack, woke in his body as a transmigrator and examined an exquisite card.

• Old Quill ordered Karl to check for survivors and the sailors to repair the Giant Tooth after Gannis departed with half its cargo.
• Old Quill blamed Charles for failing to use [Wave-Breaking Charge] and decided he would have to become a pirate.
• Dunn Campbell woke on the deck with a sharp pain in his head and realized he had transmigrated into the sailor’s body.
• Dunn recalled his new body’s history, including the Campbell Family’s decline and the original Dunn’s death from fright during Gannis’s outburst.
• Dunn reached into his clothes and took out an exquisite card.

Dunn discovered that his Career Card had granted him a weekly draw and received the Flame-Flame Fruit, but he decided not to extract it yet to avoid attracting the attention of legendary wizards. The card then offered him a choice of powerful One Piece-inspired talents.

• Dunn examined his Career Card and found a new option granting him one draw every Monday.
• Dunn drew the Flame-Flame Fruit and realized the draw was likely his transmigrator cheat.
• Dunn declined to extract the fruit because its sudden appearance could draw dangerous wizards to the ship and expose him.
• Dunn saw a list of personal talents inspired by One Piece, including Iron Balloon, Immortality, and Voice of All Things.

Donne chose the Aberrant talent, gaining exceptional stamina, toughness, recovery, and the ability to eat three Devil Fruits. His class card revealed a path to become a Pirate Captain, and he realized the weakened Giant Tooth might let him claim a pirate ship.

• Donne selected the Aberrant talent and gained supernatural toughness, recovery, reduced pain sensitivity, and the ability to go without sleep.
• His stamina rose to 20, his strength increased by 2, and his injuries began healing rapidly.
• Donne learned that he qualified to advance into either Pirate or Pirate Captain, with the latter requiring him to own a pirate ship and complete a sea raid.
• He considered the cost of buying a ship and rejected the lesser Pirate class in favor of pursuing Pirate Captain.
• Donne realized the Giant Tooth was nearly undefended after its class holders had been killed, while its cannons posed no threat to him.

Dunn killed Old Quill in a sneak attack to seize the Giant Tooth and claim the ship for himself. With his resolve to pursue power and ambition fixed, he challenged the shocked crew to oppose his takeover.

• Old Quill urged the survivors to become pirates to escape the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce's likely retribution.
• Dunn decided that killing Old Quill would give him a chance to seize the Giant Tooth and advance to tier two, but he feared a direct fight.
• Dunn approached Old Quill from behind, trembling as he searched for a reason to justify killing him.
• When Old Quill welcomed Dunn and raised his arms to embrace him, Dunn stabbed him repeatedly and killed him.
• Dunn drew the long blade at Old Quill's waist, claimed the Giant Tooth, and asked the crew who opposed his takeover.

Dunn seized the Giant Tooth after killing Old Quill and Jack, then demanded that the crew accept him as captain. His takeover was challenged by Annie Bole, who revealed that she and her bodyguard were second-tier professionals, leaving Dunn facing a threat he had overlooked.

• Dunn killed Old Quill and Jack, then declared that the Giant Tooth belonged to him.
• Dunn silenced the frightened crew and announced himself as their new captain.
• Dunn asked Karl, the ship's Navigator and Old Quill's chosen successor, whether he accepted the takeover.
• Annie Bole interrupted Karl and claimed that a second-tier professional like her had a stronger right to command the ship.
• Dunn recognized Annie Bole and her bodyguard as second-tier professionals and realized he had lost control of the situation.

Dunn rejected Annie Bole’s offer and fought Green, using his Transcendent Constitution to survive a lethal strike and wound him. As Dunn moved to finish Green, Annie killed Karl, leaving the crew unsure whom to support and the fight unresolved.

• Annie Bole offered to make Dunn her boatswain, but Dunn insulted her and refused to submit.
• Annie ordered Green to kill Dunn, while Karl and the crew declared their loyalty to her.

• Annie drove a dagger through Karl’s throat, and the crew began moving away from the battle as Dunn and Annie’s sides remained uncertain.

Dunn and Annie negotiated an alliance after Dunn defeated Green and Annie revealed she was a [Navigator]. Dunn secured the captaincy and advanced to [Pirate Captain], gaining new abilities and qualifying for tier-three classes.

• Annie killed Karl and explained that, as a [Navigator], she was essential to getting the crew to the next island.

• Annie remarked that Dunn was both Born Extraordinary and Heaven's Favored.

Dunn secured his position as captain after advancing to the second tier, then ordered the crew to repair the ship and began assessing the spoils. He found that the remaining cargo included more than twenty valuable Career Cards, while the challenge of meeting his third-tier advancement requirement remained unresolved.

• Annie examined Dunn's Career Card and questioned the demanding bounty requirement for advancing to the third tier.
• Dunn dismissed the crew's hesitation and ordered them to dispose of the bodies, repair the ship, and get underway.
• The crew obeyed Dunn, who entered the cabin to inspect the spoils from the [Giant Tooth].
• Dunn learned that the more than twenty Career Cards left among the cargo were especially valuable smuggled goods.

Dunn renamed his ship the Black Pearl and prepared to sell its cargo on Greenleaf Island, while he and Annie argued over whether to train the crew with Career Cards. Left alone on watch, Dunn drew the Float-Float Fruit but chose not to extract it yet as he planned how to conceal his future Devil Fruit powers.

• Dunn confirmed that Annie’s connections on Greenleaf Island could help dispose of the cargo, and he explained that he intended to keep the Career Cards and train the crew.
• Annie warned Dunn that empowering more than twenty crewmen could threaten their authority and put their investment at risk, but Dunn argued that the gamble could bring great rewards.
• Dunn urged Annie to abandon her cautious approach if she wanted to advance, and she left for the cabin with Green when he came to call her to rest.
• Dunn drew the Float-Float Fruit and declined to extract it, noting that he had the Flame-Flame Fruit and Float-Float Fruit available for extraction.
• Dunn planned to let Devil Fruits spread across the seas before eating one himself, and he considered possible combinations for his future powers.

Dunn reached Greenleaf Island and let most of the Black Pearl’s crew leave, hoping they would spread information about him and encourage the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce to raise his bounty. After setting out to explore the island, he secretly extracted two unusual fruits from a damaged crate.

• Dunn offered the Black Pearl’s crew the chance to leave on Greenleaf Island, and all but 17 crew members departed.

• Dunn went ashore and, as a worker’s crate of fruit broke open, used his Career Card to extract a Flame-Flame Fruit and a Float-Float Fruit.

Dunn visited the Brave Ones Bar to recruit experienced sailors for the Black Pearl and learned that a crewman had mentioned the name Campbell, stirring the original owner's lingering emotions. He offered Hans and his men unusually high wages, and they agreed to join his crew.

• Dunn entered the Brave Ones Bar and asked the bartender for recommendations on experienced sailors.
• The bartender pointed out Hans and his former slave-ship crew, who had survived a storm and were asking for high wages.

• Dunn offered two gold coins a month and subdued two sailors when they appeared ready to fight.
• Hans accepted Dunn's offer on behalf of his men.

Dunn returned to the [Black Pearl] and learned that Annie had sold their cargo and spent more than they had earned on repairs and supplies. After hiring a cook and gathering information about the [Golden Tangerine], Dunn ordered the crew to prepare to sail and attack it the next morning.

• Dunn returned with Hans and five sailors, and Annie introduced him to new weapons she and Green carried.
• Annie told Dunn she had sold the cargo for 880 gold coins and listed the ship repairs and supplies she had bought, leaving Dunn owing her over two hundred gold coins.
• Dunn asked Annie to find a cook and investigate the [Golden Tangerine], and Annie brought Martin and his apprentice Hall aboard before evening.
• Annie reported that the [Golden Tangerine] belonged to the Cloverleaf Chamber of Commerce, carried sixteen cannons and around fifty sailors, and was captained by a second-tier [Navigator] with a second-tier [Wavechaser] as first mate.
• After Annie said the [Golden Tangerine] would leave port the next morning, Dunn ordered everyone to prepare to sail.

Dunn pursued the [Golden Tangerine] while promising his crew two gold coins a month and giving them Career Cards to become [Sailors]. The [Black Pearl] caught up with the merchant ship, leaving the crew poised to complete the sea raid required to advance to [Pirate].

• Dunn watched the [Golden Tangerine] depart and learned that its next destination was Kailan Island.
• Dunn set sail on the [Black Pearl] in pursuit of the [Golden Tangerine].
• Dunn promised every sailor two gold coins a month and distributed Career Cards to help them change to the [Sailor] class.
• Dunn explained that the crew needed to complete a sea raid to advance to [Pirate].
• The [Black Pearl] caught up with the [Golden Tangerine], bringing the target of the raid into view.

Dunn led the Black Pearl into battle against the Golden Tangerine, choosing to close in and board rather than exchange cannon fire. After enduring several hits without casualties, Dunn leaped across the gap and attacked the Golden Tangerine's sails.

• Owen and Henry recognized the Black Pearl as a threat, prepared the Golden Tangerine for battle, and aimed its eight broadside cannons at the approaching ship.
• Annie urged Dunn to use the Black Pearl's cannon advantage, but Dunn ordered the crew to maintain full speed and prepare to board.

• Dunn told Annie and Green to protect the crew, leaped across to the Golden Tangerine, and swung his saber at its sails.

Dunn used Geppo to reach the Golden Tangerine, damage its sails, and slaughter the musketeers threatening his crew. As Captain Owen and Henry led the remaining sailors to surround him, Dunn blocked Henry’s attack and revealed strength that matched the second-tier professional’s.

• Annie guessed that Dunn’s flight-like movement came from a career skill, and Green realized such a skill could change the sea.
• Dunn used Geppo to cross to the Golden Tangerine and slash its sails, slowing the ship so the Black Pearl could catch up.
• Dunn charged the Golden Tangerine’s musketeers and killed them before they could threaten his crew.
• Henry attacked Dunn, but Dunn evaded his repeated sword strikes with Kami-e.
• Captain Owen brought the sailors to surround Dunn, and Dunn blocked Henry’s full-strength blow, making Henry suspect Dunn was stronger than expected.

Dunn and the crew raided the [Golden Tangerine] so the pirates could meet their [Pirate] advancement requirements before the ship surrendered. Afterward, the crew advanced aboard the [Black Pearl], and Dunn realized their supposed multiple class skills might each be only fragments of a skill.

• Dunn used Tekkai to withstand the [Golden Tangerine] crew's attacks while waiting for the [Black Pearl] to arrive.
• The [Black Pearl] struck the [Golden Tangerine], and Dunn's pirates boarded and attacked before Owen could surrender.
• Dunn and the crew delayed the surrender long enough for every pirate to meet the advancement requirements, then stripped the [Golden Tangerine] and abandoned it.
• The crew advanced aboard the [Black Pearl], while Henry and Owen watched in fear as the pirates celebrated their new abilities.
• Annie teased Dunn for awakening only one ability, and Dunn suggested the others had awakened fractions of their class skills.

Dunn questioned the surviving sailors from the [Golden Tangerine] about the murder of a noble named Campbell, then ordered Owen punished with keel-hauling. Owen was dragged beneath the [Black Pearl] repeatedly, leaving him horrifically wounded as the punishment continued.

• After his crew completed their advancements, Dunn turned his attention to the prisoners from the [Golden Tangerine].
• Dunn asked a sailor whether he had admitted to killing Campbell at the Brave Ones Bar on Greenleaf Island.
• The sailor blamed Owen and Henry, claiming they had arranged the murder for a wealthy patron and rewarded the crew afterward.
• Owen and Henry denied the accusation, so Dunn ordered the nearby sailors to prepare a punishment.
• The pirates dragged Owen beneath the [Black Pearl]’s barnacle-covered keel several times, severely mangling him and staining the seawater with blood.

Dunn tortured Owen and threatened Henry until Henry revealed that the Blanchester Family had arranged the murder of Dunn’s parents to protect its interests in a New World gold mine. Dunn learned that Langley Blanchester, the family’s tier-three heir, had orchestrated the crime and held the Campbell Family’s share of the mine.

• Dunn keelhauling left Owen barely alive and terrified the pirates and captives aboard the ship.

• Dunn learned that Langley was the Blanchester Family’s heir and that the family now held the Campbell Family’s share of the gold mine.

• Dunn appointed Annie first mate and chief navigator, Green helmsman, Martin head cook, and Hans rigging master, giving Martin and Hans keys to their respective stores.
• Dunn left the boatswain position to a crew vote, then retreated to his quarters because the blood on deck made him physically sick.

• Annie asked Green to have the family investigate Campbell, and Green agreed.
• Veteran Lewis won the boatswain election, and Dunn gave him the ammunition storage key before dinner.

Dunn trained his combat skills aboard the [Black Pearl] while Green struggled to master Geppo. A newspaper revealed that the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce had placed a 400-gold-coin bounty on Dunn, easing part of his advancement requirement as the crew continued their voyage.

• Green trained the pirates and Dunn in basic combat techniques, while Dunn taught Green Rokushiki and Green made little progress with Geppo.
