Chapter 001: The Arrival

... ...

Skill Points: 0

Adrian fell into contemplation, and in that moment, several vague thoughts flashed through his mind, but constrained by the current situation, they could only remain at the level of ideas

For example, time, place, and characters

It now appears that alongside the era of great pirates, there also emerged that group known as the "Fourth Calamity"

Template: NPC (1.0 version public beta countdown: three years)

To hell with the perfect attendance award

By the way, this person seems to be a super assassin! ... They have safely lived until the time when Luffy set sail ...

The countdown for the public test corresponds to a time three years later, which is the year 1498 in the Haiyuan calendar

Shall we start the game

As Ed, or rather Adrian, carefully examined the personal information, he soon discovered some unusual aspects

What time is it now

I am just a level 1 fan | a novice!

In the year 1495 of the Oceanic Calendar, on a certain unnamed secret island under the jurisdiction of the World Government, Adrian.

Firstly, it is highly probable that he did not traverse to the "One Piece World" but rather to the "Game: One Piece World". It remains unclear whether others have also been digitized.

Not too bad, at least it hasn't turned into some non-human species... Um, by the way, I think I just heard some sound?

Experience: 0

In that year, every pirate fan would be well aware of the events that transpired: the execution of Gol D. Roger by the Navy, who, before his death, shouted "ONE PIECE," officially heralding the beginning of the Great Pirate Era

It can be considered a normal situation, the middle-aged doctor came over to examine Adrian's condition, after all, it was a blow to the brain, particularly to such a vulnerable area as the back of the head, not becoming a fool is already a good outcome

The system? ! '' Aiden felt a surge of joy in his heart, '' let's start by checking personal information.

I will probably be late for work tomorrow

However, speaking of which, such a beautiful woman, it is a pity that she has a mouth...

Am I dreaming? Who is speaking?

A series of sharp pains radiated from the back of Ed's head, leaving him extremely agitated. He furrowed his brows tightly and, with a surge of determination, propped himself up to survey the situation around him

"Forget it, as long as I'm not dead." The long-haired woman no longer hesitated, striding quickly to stand before Adrian, looking down at him. "Kid, I am Wei Qu Shan Mako, a member of CP9, the secret espionage agency directly under the World Government, currently responsible for the training of you little brats on this small island..."

Secondary occupation: None

Equipment: None

Seizing this opportunity, Adrian clearly observed the woman's appearance

I will not be able to go to work tomorrow, my perfect attendance...

Where is this place

In her thirties or forties, she had long, waist-length hair in a light pink hue and was dressed in a black women's suit. Her mature and alluring figure seemed as if it might burst out of her clothing. What left a deep impression was her cold demeanor, resembling a dangerous femme fatale, poised to strike.

At that moment, the main door of the room was suddenly opened, and several strange-looking individuals walked in from outside. Due to the dim lighting, their appearances were not very clear, but from their distorted and bizarre silhouettes, it was evident that these individuals were certainly not ordinary humans

In a state of confusion, Ed wanted to turn over, wishing to cover his head with a pillow, but in the next moment, a sharp pain pierced through his consciousness

Main Profession: Civilian Lv1 (0 / 50)

Recalling the appearance of the old mountain witch in her later years, Adrian couldn't help but shudder

Adrian, regaining his composure, couldn't help but smile wryly; the current living conditions were indeed quite harsh

Ed looked up at the ceiling, his face blank with confusion

NPC Template ? Version 1.0 Public Beta Countdown ?

The original self was a war orphan adopted by the world government, with many gaps in past memories. Aside from a few basic pieces of knowledge, only vague remnants of a tragic childhood and the hardships of training remain.

Personal Attributes: Strength 3, Agility 7, Stamina 4, Intelligence 6, Charisma 5, Luck 1

System activation, game begins

Is it still training at the level of CP9

Energy value: Not activated

Isn't this the mother of the comedic kabuki performer, the lion, who appeared in the chapter of the Seven Water City? She actually looked like this in her youth?

A sudden pain struck my head again, and a torrent of complex information surged from the depths of my mind

2, having traversed into an NPC and possessing a system panel, this is very good news, as it allows for rapid growth akin to that of a player, without the need to worry about so-called racial constraints or power bottlenecks. However, correspondingly, an NPC is not a player; in the real world, every individual has only one life.

After a while, Ed finally figured out the whole story

Health Points: 46% (Weakness Reduction)

Suddenly, a line of half-illusory blue text appeared before me

three days

Adrian furrowed his brow and immediately identified several important factors

Adrian is more aware than anyone else in this world of the destructive power of players, the Fourth Catastrophe, synonymous with chaos and madness

The dim yellow light barely illuminated the entire room, with walls made of stacked stones. On the right side were two large square windows, through which a slightly salty and humid breeze gently flowed in, while outside the window was a pitch-black darkness

Health: 20% (Head injury, hunger, severe weakness)

The Grand Line, the World Government, the Red Line... Have I crossed over into "One Piece"?

I have traveled through time

(Note: The standard attributes for adult males in the world of One Piece are 5 points, with luck being 1 point)

Free attribute points: 0

After Adrian expressed a slight gesture of respect, he immediately fell into deep thought

There are still three years until the public beta, and before the players arrive, Adrian has three years to prepare and develop. This is the only piece of good news that brings him joy.

Ed instinctively reached for his phone, but suddenly his body stiffened

To be frank, Oda's attitude towards older women is indeed rather poor!

"Hmm? Is there a problem with his memory?" the long-haired woman said in surprise

Skills: None

Ouch! It hurts! My head hurts so much! Did I fall out of bed in the middle of the night, or did the back of my head hit the ground first?

Specialization: None

The system panel, it seems this is my golden finger

Name: Adrian (Ed)

It is gone, the phone is gone

Level: 1

Legendary Status: 0

Ed gently shook his head, as the information in his memory seemed to be lacking. He was unclear about the specific experiences of his original self, only recalling some superficial common knowledge of the world

Player, original plot

How is that guy doing?" asked the long-haired woman with a sharp and hoarse voice, making those around her feel particularly uncomfortable

Race: Human

... ...

Adrian endured the dryness in his throat and hoarsely asked, "Who are you?"

A translucent blue light curtain suddenly unfolded in front of the empty gaze, exuding a strong sense of science fiction while not obstructing the line of sight in the slightest

Am I still dreaming?

Around thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair skin, black hair, and black eyes, the appearance is vaguely similar to that of the previous life, aligning with the average aesthetic level of genuine readers

Clang!

Ed suddenly opened his eyes, and the familiar ceiling was gone, replaced by a completely unfamiliar scene

The old hag, not understanding Adrian's inner thoughts, continued in her sharp, hoarse, and unpleasant voice: "You failed in the previous beast training. I originally thought I could get rid of a useless burden, but unexpectedly, you managed to endure. Now, I will give you three days to recover, and after three days, you will resume training!"

It seems that he has already passed the critical period, I originally thought there was no hope for him. A middle-aged doctor in a white coat replied, looking at Adrian with a gaze that clearly reflected surprise as he examined him from head to toe
