One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Roger's Bar, Area 5, Chambord

This bar, named after One Piece, is not only a gathering place for pirates on ordinary days, but also a hidden thread in the underworld of Sabaody Archipelago.

The six kings of the underworld each have planted spies here.

The assassination order was discussed in hushed tones in a private room, the arms trade list was hidden at the bottom of a wine barrel, and the smuggling of various contraband items was quietly completed in the shadows of the bar...

Here, you can find anything as long as you have enough Baileys.

The pirates stationed here could not possibly be some nobody.

On the surface, the bar owner is Ryan Hunt, one of the pirate supernovas who dominated the edge of the New World two years ago, with a bounty of 250 million Berries.

He is a user of the Dog-Dog Fruit, Honey Badger form, and possesses extremely terrifying vitality.

It is rumored that he survived a direct hit from Kaido's Thunder Bagua, which shattered his bones, thanks to the regenerative abilities of his Devil Fruit.

The name "Immortal" thus spread far and wide.

After that battle, Ryan Hunt completely submitted to Kaido's power, joined the Beasts Pirates, and became one of Kaido's generals.

Sent by Kaido to the Sabaody Archipelago, their mission was to guard the underground businesses there and monitor the movements of the Navy and other forces.

But the secrets of Roger's Bar extend far beyond Ryan Hunter.

In the shadows of the bar, several assassins lurked, their faces concealed by masks, only the cold glint in their eyes visible.

These people are henchmen of the king of assassins, "The Great Funeral Master," who specialize in shady businesses such as assassinations and human organ trafficking.

Rumor has it that if they have enough Beli, they would dare to make a move even against a Yonko-level target.

In addition, other kings of the underworld, such as the King of Arms, the King of Intelligence, and the leader of the slave traders, also have their own business outposts here.

This place can be considered their most important branch base in the first half of the Grand Line, and also the stage where various forces secretly compete.

With Ryan Hunt's strength, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this "immortal" supernova will inevitably grow into a top-tier pirate on par with the Three Disasters and Six Sons of the Beasts Pirates.

On this day, a crumpled intelligence report was respectfully delivered to Ryan Hunter by an intelligence officer.

"When did the Navy become so arrogant? Are they just hotheads?"

He glanced at the briefing, his brow furrowed, and his tone was full of impatience.

The briefing was simple: a naval commodore named Kitahara Tsune was leading his naval soldiers to gradually clear out pirate forces along the way, starting from Sabaody Archipelago Area 1.

Unlike the navy's usual perfunctory approach, this commodore was ruthless and decisive.

Today, Kitahara Tsune has approached the boundary of Area 5.

"To seek justice at this time? They certainly picked a good time."

Ryan Hunt downed the rum in one gulp, a cold, sneer playing on his lips.

The recent slave emancipation movement caused a great uproar, even forcing the underworld to halt its business for a period of time, resulting in an unusually quiet period.

Kaido also specifically issued orders for all his subordinates to keep a low profile during this period, to conceal their strength, and not to provoke the Navy, so as to avoid stepping on a landmine and getting burned.

Normally, he would have led his men out and crushed those arrogant navy soldiers the moment Kitahara Tsune's naval force stepped into Zone 1. Why would he wait until now to receive the news and allow the enemy to advance all the way to his doorstep?

"Who exactly is this Kitahara Tsuneo?"

Ryan Hunter looked up at the intelligence officer in front of him, his tone tinged with impatience.

"There's such a person in the Navy? I've never heard of him before?"

In his mind, the navy was mostly a group of cowards who feared death and rarely had such reckless characters.

"I am unaware of his background; I have not yet been able to trace him."

The intelligence officer lowered his head and spoke respectfully, "However, according to the information we've gathered, he seems to be a newly appointed commodore. He wasn't well-known at the Navy Headquarters before; it's like he suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

After a pause, the intelligence officer added:

"Furthermore, I have confirmed that he is not a Devil Fruit user. He mainly uses the Six Powers of the Navy, and his physical attributes are extremely strong."

Upon hearing this, Ryan Hunter nodded slightly, the doubt in his eyes fading somewhat.

In his view, Kitahara Tsune's background was not important; what mattered was his strength.

However, even if the navy has some ability, it is too arrogant to blatantly provoke the Beasts Pirates like this.

He picked up the intelligence briefing on the table and looked at it carefully again. It included information about Kitahara Tsune's warships, the number of soldiers under his command, and detailed records of his efforts to clear out pirates and destroy trading points over the past few days.

"What a greenhorn in the navy."

He spoke slowly, his tone full of disdain.

"They only think about upholding so-called justice, but they don't know the rules of this sea. The strong prey on the weak, and strength is the only way to win. So-called justice is nothing more than an excuse for the weak to deceive themselves."

"He was arrogant for a while the other day, and nobody bothered to teach him a lesson. Now, it's time to show him what reality is!"

Ryan Hunter's eyes instantly turned fierce, and silver-gray hair sprouted from his body.

"Lord Hunter,"

The intelligence officer hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to offer the reminder.

"Lord Kaido specifically instructed us to keep a low profile during this period and not to provoke the Navy. If things escalate and alert the Admirals of the Navy Headquarters, it will be difficult to handle the situation..."

"Shut up!"

Ryan Hunter slammed his hand on the table, shattering the wooden tabletop of the booth and spilling drinks all over the floor.

"How much of a commotion can we cause by teaching a mere Marine Commodore a lesson? Besides, if we don't act soon, he'll start defecating and pissing on our Beasts Pirates' heads!"

His words were full of contempt for the Navy, as if Kitahara Tsuneo was nothing more than an ant that could be manipulated at will.

As he spoke, Ryan Hunter bent down and picked up the weapon that was leaning against the booth next to him.

It was a black mace covered with sharp spikes.

Originally, this wasn't his weapon, but after being defeated and subjugated by Kaido, he deliberately imitated Kaido's style and specially crafted this spiked club. Even his moves were modeled after Kaido's, being rough and domineering.

Although he didn't learn much of Kaido's true strength, he did bear some resemblance in appearance and aura.

A few days later, outside Area 5 of Chambord.

Kitahara Tsune was wearing a white navy cloak, and the word "Justice" on the cloak stood out in the crowd.

There are many pirates on the Sabaody Archipelago, but there are also quite a few civilians.

In each area, there are many ordinary people running all kinds of shops, including snack stalls, general stores, tailor shops, and taverns.

What may seem ordinary are actually people who can open shops peacefully in pirate strongholds. They all have some connection with pirates and underground forces, either by paying high protection fees or by participating in some shady transactions.

Of course, Kitahara Tsuneo doesn't care about these people, nor can he manage them.

Just as Kitahara Tsune was about to end this probing patrol and return to the warship to discuss today's action plan with his soldiers.

A group of figures suddenly emerged from the surrounding alleys and shops, instantly surrounding him.

These people exuded a strong pirate aura, their eyes fierce and menacing as they stared at Kitahara Tsune, completely blocking his escape route.

One of the pirates, with a scar on his face, stepped forward and spoke arrogantly:

"So you're Kitahara Tsuneo, the one who goes around cleaning up pirates? Today, your arrogant days are over! My master is going to show you what a real pirate is!"

Kitahara Tsune raised an eyebrow, his gaze calmly sweeping over the group of pirates before him, and asked indifferently, "Who is your master? Let him come out and speak for himself. Don't waste time sending you lowly minions."

Upon hearing this, the scarred pirate's eyes widened in anger, and he pointed towards Roger's bar, his voice rising even higher:

"My master is the owner of Roger's Bar, a member of the Beasts Pirates, a Supernova two years ago, a Devil Fruit user, and the 'Immortal' Ryan Hunt with a bounty of 250 million!"
