Simultaneous Transmigration: Why is it all One Piece world?

"However—" Sure enough, Ace changed the subject, tapping his finger on the table, "Think about it, we helped you fight, we helped you fight Doflamingo, we were your boatmen and your henchmen all the way, shouldn't you also...?"

"No."

"I haven't finished speaking!"

"No need to finish."

Ace wilted, his shoulders slumped, and he looked like a frostbitten eggplant.

Yamato, biting his chopsticks, glanced at Ace and then at Nok, his big eyes fluttering.

"Nok! Come on, come on! Once we're on the ship, I can listen to your stories every day!"

Nock said expressionlessly, "Just because of that?"

"This is the most important one!"

All the crew members stopped chewing and shouted in unison.

Seeing this, Ace perked up again. "Look, everyone likes you so much! Just give in!"

Nock looked at him: "Is that how you use the word 'conform'?"

"Almost there," Ace waved his hand. "As long as the meaning is there, that's fine."

Nock was silent for a moment.

To reiterate, it's not impossible to join Ace's crew.

Over the course of their time together, he had come to see Ace's character. Unlike his seemingly foolish but often eccentric younger brother, Ace was much more reliable. Perhaps because he hadn't had many strong companions to support him throughout their voyage, his decisions had been quite cautious.

Although he has the same reckless and arrogant spirit as pirates, he is, after all, a young man.

and so.

"Alright," Nock said.

The air on the table froze for a moment.

"W-What did you say?" Ace whistled.

"I said okay." Nock picked up his glass and took a sip of water. "But I want to set three conditions."

Ace jumped to his feet, his chair tipping backward and crashing onto the deck with a thud. "You say it! Don't just say three chapters, three hundred chapters are fine!"

"Don't rush." ​​Nock put down his cup. "First, you are the captain, so you will definitely make the major decisions, but I hope that I can plan the details of everything."

Ace was taken aback. "You orchestrated this?"

"That's right." Nock looked at him. "You said it yourself, your goal is to become the Pirate King. Achieving this goal isn't something you can do just by being hot-blooded and shouting about bonds. We'll definitely be facing battles with Marine Admirals and Pirate Emperors. They're not small fry like Doflamingo."

"They are very strong!"

Ace paused for a moment, his excitement still lingering, but his eyes turned serious.

"They are very strong," Nock repeated, looking into Ace's eyes. "Admirals and Yonko are not people we can easily mess with right now."

"So?" Ace asked.

"Therefore, you need to have a plan before each operation. It's not about 'just rushing in and doing it,' but about 'how to do it, where to start, and how to get out of there afterward.'"

Ace scratched his head, seemingly processing what he had just said.

"Go on, what's the second one?"

Nock thought for a moment.

"That's all."

"That's it?!"

"Yes, that's the key point. We'll talk about the rest when we think of them."

Afraid that Nok would change his mind, Ace grabbed Nok's hand and shook it hard.

"Deal! From now on, you're a member of the Spade Pirates!"

There was a moment of silence in the cabin, then cheers erupted.

"oh--!"

"Brother Knock has finally boarded the ship!"

"Now I'm finally not afraid of not having a proper meal, and I'll have stories to listen to every day!"

"That last sentence is the key point!"

Nock was surrounded by a group of people, it was noisy and chaotic, and he felt pretty good about it?

After finishing their meal, the dishes and chopsticks were cleared away, and the boat continued on its way. Yamato was the first to come over, his eyes shining like a cat that had just stolen some fish.

"Nok! Tell a story!"

"Again?"

"Tell me a story, please tell me! I love listening to your stories!"

Nock glanced at the others. Ace pretended to look at the sea, Deus looked down at the nautical chart, Skar wiped his skull collection, and Michal simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

But they all had their ears perked up.

He sighed.

"Alright, then let me tell you about Dressrosa today."

Yamato immediately sat up straight, placing his hands on his knees, behaving as obediently as a primary school student. The others also quietly moved closer.

Nock leaned against the ship's railing, thinking about where to begin.

"Dresrosa, also known as the 'Land of Love and Passion,' appears to be a vibrant place where music and dance never cease. People dance flamenco, eat paella, and the streets are filled with rose vendors."

"Isn't that great?" Yamato blinked.

Nock did not respond.

"But that's just on the surface."

Beneath this glamorous exterior lies a surging undercurrent of darkness.

This place is essentially a criminal den meticulously crafted by the Don Quixote family.

Nock then continued his explanation: Dressrosa's original peace and tranquility, the invasion of the Don Quixote family, the rebels turned into toys and forgotten by the world, the princess who compromised to protect her country and family, the husband whose wife was killed and turned into a disabled toy but still protected his daughter...

They were all figured out by the Spade Pirates.

The cabin was so quiet that you could hear the waves lapping against the hull.

Upon hearing this, Yamato's eyes widened, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and the others remained silent.

"This is outrageous... turning people into toys, making their loved ones forget them! That father, even as a toy, is still protecting his daughter?"

Nock nodded.

"That father..." Ace suddenly spoke, his voice abruptly hoarse, "What's his name?"

"Cyrus," Nok said, "King Riku's son-in-law, the undefeated gladiator of the arena."

Ace was silent for a moment, then downed the rest of the drink in his glass in one gulp.

"He's very strong, isn't he?"

"It's alright, but he was turned into a toy, and everyone forgot about him. His daughter stood in front of him and called him Mr. Soldier, but she didn't know that he was actually her father."

Yamato's eyes reddened; she truly lives up to her reputation as a female Luffy, possessing an exceptionally strong ability to empathize.

Ace was similar; in this story, they were the most sympathetic to Rebecca's plight, and also...the most envious.

They also want a father like that!

"Alright! It's decided! I'm going to beat Doflamingo to a pulp!"

Ace slammed his fist on the table, making the wine glasses jump.

"That bastard, he ruined such a good country, turned people into toys, and made it impossible for daughters to recognize their fathers. What kind of bullshit king is that!"

Yamato nodded vigorously beside him, "Beat him up! Beat him up!"

The other crew members also started shouting, and for a moment the cabin was filled with anger, as if they were about to rush ashore and tear Ming to pieces at any moment.

After a while, Ace suddenly quieted down.

He turned to look at Nock.

"So, how do we fight?"

The cabin fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look at Nok.

Nock was taken aback.

"Wow, you've already gotten into character so quickly?"

Ace scratched his head and chuckled. "You're the boss, strategist."

"Strategist..." Nock pondered the term for a moment, "Not bad, I like this title."

"But then again, our initial goal wasn't to be enemies with Doflamingo, was it? We just wanted to get some information from him, didn't we?" Nock said with a smile.

"That's true, but knowing that Doflamingo did such a heinous thing, how can I possibly resist defeating him!" Ace said, pressing down on his cowboy hat with fierce fighting spirit.

"That's right!" Yamato chimed in from the side.

Nok raised the corners of his mouth in a smirk: "Alright, let's take him down!"

Indeed, Doflamingo and Kaido are in cahoots, and Nok is their natural enemy. Since they're going to fight anyway, they might as well just crush them from the start!

Perfect timing! It's time for Nok to make a name for himself in his own world!

He stood up, walked to the nautical chart hanging on the wall, and pointed to the location of Dressrosa.

"So, facing an enemy like Doflamingo—"

He turned around and looked at everyone.

My decision is—

"Just attack!"
