"I really… transmigrated?"
"And I transmigrated into the world of One Piece, becoming a pirate?"
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
Inside the cabin, Lucky Drake rubbed his head and sat up from a crude, shabby bed.
Memories surged into his mind and fused together, allowing him to understand his current situation.
Originally, he was an otaku in his twenties on Earth. Because he stayed up all night binge-watching anime, he woke up only to find he had transmigrated here.
His current identity was that of a pirate from a certain pirate crew.
Based on the memories he inherited—
They had gone to rob a merchant ship. The vice-captain ordered them to kill everyone on board, but because he was too soft-hearted, he hesitated. His victim took the opportunity to knock him out with a stick, causing him to pass out on the spot.
The pirate crew he now belonged to was called the Thunder Pirates.
Although the name sounded quite imposing, in the world of One Piece, they were absolutely bottom-of-the-barrel material.
As a long-time fan of One Piece, Lucky Drake knew that this world was filled with countless pirate crews—some weak, some monstrously strong.
The strongest among them were the Straw Hat Pirates, Red-Hair Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, Roger Pirates, Blackbeard Pirates, Buggy Pirates…
These crews had sky-high bounties, and their captains were absurdly powerful.
Compared to them, the Thunder Pirates only had a decent-sounding name.
There were barely twenty people on the ship. The captain's bounty wasn't even five million Berries, and the other pirates' strength wasn't worth mentioning. Compared to those famous pirate crews, Lucky Drake felt that the Thunder Pirates were nothing more than background extras.
He didn't even know what kind of brain spasm the original owner had to join such a useless pirate crew.
At the very least, he should've joined Don Krieg, the overlord of the East Blue, or even Buggy the Clown!
You had to understand—being a pirate was extremely dangerous.
Not only did they face pursuit from the Marines, but they also had to deal with bounty hunters, and sometimes murderous competitors from rival pirate crews.
"This is the world of One Piece—without strength, I'll die sooner or later and end up buried in the sea."
"A weak small-time pirate with no strength—how am I supposed to survive? Come on, every transmigrator gets a golden finger. At the very least, give me a decent starting identity! Why is my difficulty level set to hell mode right from the start?"
"A small pirate is one thing—but I don't even have any strength or background!"
Lucky Drake felt uneasy about his fate, worried that his life could end at any moment.
Ding!
"Suitable host detected. System binding in progress…"
At that moment, a mechanical electronic voice echoed in his mind, causing Lucky Drake to leap up from the bed in excitement.
"System?"
"It's here—it's finally here! My cheat has arrived!"
"I wonder what kind of system it is."
Lucky Drake was full of anticipation.
In the novels he read, almost every transmigrator received a system. He never expected that he'd get one too.
In his mind, he sensed a progress bar rapidly increasing:
1%, 20%, 38%…
Finally—
When it reached 100%, the system voice sounded again.
Ding!
"Congratulations, Host Lucky Drake. The Infinite Lottery System has successfully bound."
Ding!
"Host may earn lottery points by completing missions and other actions. When points are sufficient, you may perform a lottery draw. Items include: elixirs, skills, Devil Fruits…"
Ding!
"Congratulations, Host Lucky Drake. The Beginner Gift Pack has been delivered. Would you like to open it?"
Three consecutive system prompts rang in his mind, and Lucky Drake's body trembled with excitement.
His breathing grew heavy.
"Infinite Lottery System?"
"And a Beginner Gift Pack?"
Lucky Drake rubbed his hands excitedly, his attention fully focused on the system.
In his mind—
A translucent interface appeared, with a large gift pack displayed at the bottom.
Host: Lucky Drake
Affiliation: Thunder Pirates — Pirate
Combat Power: 30
Skills: None
Devil Fruit: None
Lottery Points: 0
…
The interface resembled a game status window, showing a series of details about Lucky Drake.
After taking a glance, his eyes immediately locked onto the gift pack.
He chose to open it.
Ding!
"Beginner Gift Pack opened. Congratulations, Host Lucky Drake, you have obtained Rokushiki — Soru."
Ding!
"Beginner Gift Pack opened. Congratulations, Host Lucky Drake, you have obtained Nine Yang Divine Art."
Ding!
"Beginner Gift Pack opened. Congratulations, Host Lucky Drake, you have obtained Wado Ichimonji."
The system prompts echoed again.
Lucky Drake froze on the spot, his expression filled with shock and disbelief.
Gulp…
"This is the Beginner Gift Pack?"
"It gave me not only a cultivation art, but also a skill and a weapon!"
"Nine Yang Divine Art—that's from the Jin Yong martial arts universe. It can even be drawn here? I wonder how it compares to Haki in the One Piece world!"
The more Lucky Drake thought about it, the more excited he became.
This system… was incredible.
"And this sword isn't bad either!"
"Wado Ichimonji—this was Zoro's early-stage blade, one of the 21 Great Grade Swords."
The next moment—
Lucky Drake retrieved the Wado Ichimonji from the system.
A Great Grade blade, white hilt and white sheath, simple and elegant—a sword that hid its sharpness. Alongside Enma, it was forged by Shimotsuki Kozaburo.
Originally owned by Zoro's childhood friend Kuina, it became his blade after her death. It was a famous sword worth over ten million Berries.
Staring at the gleaming blade, Lucky Drake couldn't help clicking his tongue.
Then—
He learned Nine Yang Divine Art and Rokushiki: Soru at once.
Information poured into his mind, engraving the training methods deeply into his memory.
Afterward—
He checked the translucent system interface again.
Host: Lucky Drake
Affiliation: Thunder Pirates — Pirate
Combat Power: 60
Skills:
• Rokushiki - Soru (LV1)
• Nine Yang Divine Art (LV1)
Devil Fruit: None
Lottery Points: 0
"With Wado Ichimonji, Nine Yang Divine Art, and Soru… I should already be at the top of the Thunder Pirates, right?"
"With the system, in the future even Luffy, Kaido, and the Four Emperors will be nothing but little brothers before me!"
"But first, I need to find a way to earn lottery points."
Looking at his improved combat power, Lucky Drake felt brimming with confidence. He felt that it wouldn't be long before he could rub Kaido and the others into the ground.
However—
Once his excitement calmed down, he began thinking seriously about how to acquire lottery points.
To obtain good items from the system, he needed points. Without them, never mind defeating Kaido—he might not even survive in the world of One Piece.
