One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Having just left Sengoku's office, Kitahara Tsune had only taken two steps when he bumped into a tall figure.

Wearing a dog-head hat and eating snacks, Garp was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, looking at him with great interest.

Kitahara Tsune paused, immediately straightened his back, gave a standard naval salute, and without further pleasantries, nodded in acknowledgment before continuing forward.

Just now in the office, Zhan Guo was sitting in a chair, and he did not directly perceive the height difference between the two.

But standing in front of Garp now, Kitahara Tsune truly realized how outrageous the height settings in the One Piece world are.

He is now nearly two meters tall, and before he transmigrated, he was already one of the best among his peers. Even in the navy, he was considered quite tall.

But in front of Garp, who is nearly three meters tall, he looks like a teenager.

"Goodness, a person of normal height in this world would probably be considered a level three disabled person here."

Kitahara Tsune secretly grumbled to himself, and the images of the powerful figures from the new world involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Whitebeard's nearly seven-meter-tall body, Big Mom's enormous size, and Kaido's almost giant-like stature.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that the stronger you are, the taller you become? Or that the older you are, the taller you become?"

As he muttered to himself, he had already reached the logistics department.

The logistics officer had already received Sengoku's instructions. Upon seeing him arrive, he immediately and respectfully presented him with a brand-new naval justice cloak. The cloak was made of thick material, and the two characters "Justice" embroidered on it were eye-catching and solemn.

There was also a pure white Den Den Mushi (snail phone) lying in an exquisite wooden box, occasionally making a soft "chirp chirp" sound.

After collecting the supplies, Kitahara Tsune went straight to the port.

Several naval warships were neatly moored on the shore, their naval insignia gleaming in the sunlight.

He quickly found his own warship, a massive vessel with a forest of cannons.

Boarding the warship, Kitahara Tsune stood in the center of the deck, his gaze sweeping over the waiting naval soldiers, and announced loudly:

"I am Kitahara Tsuneo. From this day forward, I am the captain of this warship, a commodore."

"From now on, I will lead everyone in carrying out missions, upholding justice, and never disgracing the honor of the Navy!"

The soldiers responded in unison, their voices loud and clear, echoing across the deck.

Just then, Kitahara Tsune's gaze fell on the two people at the front of the line, and his pupils flickered slightly.

He recognized these two people at a glance; they were both characters from the original work.

The woman on the left is wearing a naval captain's uniform, with long pink hair reaching her waist. She has a cold and aloof face, but her eyes reveal a hint of competence. She is Hina, the user of the "Rail-Rail Fruit".

The man on the right is wearing sunglasses, has a cigarette in his mouth, and is dressed casually in a navy lieutenant commander's uniform. He is Smoker, the user of the "Smoke-Smoke Fruit".

His gaze was sharp, fixed on Kitahara Tsune, with undisguised scrutiny.

"Hina thinks the new captain is a very approachable person."

Hina spoke first, her voice soft and full of goodwill.

Smoker's tone carried a hint of provocation: "Commodore? Looks younger than me, what makes him qualified to be our captain?"

"I'll test whether your abilities are worthy of this rank."

He was filled with resentment, having struggled in the navy for many years before barely managing to be promoted to major.

The young man in front of me looked to be about the same age as me, yet he had risen to the rank of brigadier general in one fell swoop.

This was unacceptable to him, and he only wanted to use his abilities to prove whether the other party was truly qualified.

Hina quickly stepped forward, tugged at Rasmoker's sleeve, and advised, "Hina still thinks it's better if you don't cause trouble for the captain."

"It's because of your impulsive and stubborn personality that you've remained at the rank of major. If you could tone it down a bit, you would have been promoted long ago."

The argument between the two did not last long. Kitahara Tsune simply watched quietly, a faint smile playing on his lips. He neither got angry nor tried to stop them.

In the Navy, strength is the best voice, and Smoker's doubts can only be completely dispelled by strength.

The warship slowly sailed away from the port, heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

Kitahara Tsune stood at the bow of the ship, wearing the cloak of justice. The cloak fluttered in the wind, and the two characters for "justice" on the back danced with the wind, exuding a powerful aura.

……

The Sabaody Archipelago is an enormous island group divided into nearly 80 regions.

Of these, the Navy only controls areas 60 to 69, while the rest of the areas are mostly illegal zones, and there is a severe shortage of manpower.

This is also the most likely place for Fisher Tiger to hide. After all, a chaotic environment is ideal for concealing one's tracks, and Fishman Island is located beneath the Sabaody Archipelago.

He was sent here by the Sengoku period to fill the manpower shortage in the navy.

After sailing for several hours, the warship finally arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

From afar, the island appears bustling with activity, but the more prosperous it is, the more darkness lies hidden behind it.

Areas 1 through 29 of the Sabaody Archipelago are notorious for human trafficking and lawlessness, where pirates, assassins, and underworld merchants are commonplace.

People walking here wouldn't dare to walk with their heads held high unless they had taken several lives.

Not long ago, a large number of people suddenly poured into this area, including fishmen and mermaids who are rarely seen in normal times.

This is most likely related to Fisher Tiger.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Kitahara Tsune ordered the warship to dock at a secluded pier in Area 1, avoiding crowded areas.

The Sabaody Archipelago is a place teeming with hidden talents; even Rayleigh, the god of the underworld, lives in seclusion there.

With his current strength, he has neither the intention nor the ability to wipe out the entire island.

His plan was clear: under the guise of searching for Fisher Tiger, he would wipe out a wave of pirates operating in lawless areas, spread his name among the Navy and pirates, increase his fame, and perhaps improve his stats through battle.

"It would be best to improve the green keywords."

Kitahara Tsune was making plans in his mind.

In his affix system, the green affixes are mostly related to basic abilities. Improving these affixes can not only enhance his physical fitness and learning ability in a certain area, but also improve his reaction speed and judgment in combat.

For example, the skill "Sword Mastery" allows him to more accurately predict the enemy's movements in battle and make the most reasonable counterattack.

"Looks like I'll have to find a good knife."

Kitahara Tsune looked down at the naval standard-issue sword at his waist, his brows furrowing slightly.

This thing is of ordinary quality and lacks sharpness, so it cannot unleash his full swordsmanship potential.

Previously, when carrying out missions in CP9, the main method relied on the Six Styles, and the requirements for swords were not high.

But now, since we need to improve our swordsmanship stat, a good sword is undoubtedly essential.

Unless you reach a certain level of skill, no matter how strong your swordsmanship is, you can't compare a small knife to a great sword...

Just as he was pondering, Hina walked to his side, her gaze sweeping over the chaotic scene on the island. She frowned slightly and said softly:

Hina thinks we should change our clothes.

"It's too chaotic here. Wearing a navy uniform would be too conspicuous and would make us an easy target for pirates, which would hinder our covert search."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Smoker leaned over, spat the cigarette butt out of his mouth onto the ground, crushed it out with his foot, and said disdainfully:

"What's there to be afraid of? We're the Navy, representing justice. Who would dare stop us on the streets? Are we afraid of those cowardly pirates?"

Hina didn't refute, but turned to look at Kitahara Tsune, her eyes questioning.

Kitahara Tsune raised his head, a slow smile spreading across his lips, his eyes bright: "Smoker is right, we are the Navy."

He paused, then raised his voice slightly: "The navy must act openly and aboveboard."

"This is my justice, a just and aboveboard justice!"
