One Piece: Starting with the execution of Pirate King Roger

Then, she picked up the Den Den Mushi on the table and dialed a number she hadn't contacted in some time.

“Bru bru bru…”

"Chaka".

As the call connected, the Den Den Mushi on the table narrowed its eyes into crescent moons, and a few smile lines appeared at the corners of its eyes.

His mouth stretched out in an exaggerated grin, and a goatee, just like Garp's, grew out of his mouth.

A boisterous voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Oh? It's Tsuru. What brings you here to call me?"

"Garp," Vice Admiral Tsuru's tone had also relaxed for once, "is he still enjoying himself in the East Blue?"

"Hahaha, of course!" The Den Den Mushi mimicked Garp's hearty laughter. "The senbei here is much better than the ones at headquarters!" As it spoke, a series of crackling sounds came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

After a few casual words, He changed the subject and got to the main point.

"Since you're in the East China Sea, could you also pick someone up from Rogge Town for me?"

"Hmm? Who is it that would make your chief strategist speak up personally?"

“You should remember the marine who executed Roger,” Tsuru said calmly, “Raine.”

On the other end of the phone, Kapna's signature laughter abruptly stopped.

Den Den Mushi's expression also fell into a long silence.

A few seconds later, Garp's voice rang out again.

"it is good."

……

East China Sea, the sea off Rogge Town.

A small fishing boat gently sways with the waves on the calm sea.

Roger's death did not end an era; instead, his dying declaration ushered in an even more chaotic and insane "Great Pirate Era"!

Countless people with dreams and ambitions flocked to the sea from all over the world.

"And as the starting point to the Grand Line," Loguetown became the forefront of this era's wave.

Every day, countless rookie pirate crews gather here, set off, and are then arrested and lose their lives.

As the only executioner in Loguetown, Ryan's work has entered an unprecedented peak season.

For the past six months, Ryan has been subjected to torture to the point of numbness.

Only today did Rennes finally get his first full vacation in nine months.

At that moment, his gaze sharpened slightly.

At the edge of his vision, a tiny black dot was slowly approaching.

It was a pirate ship flying the skull and crossbones flag.

Rein suddenly unleashed his peak-level Observation Haki!

His world instantly became incredibly quiet.

Wind speed, humidity, the rise and fall of ocean waves, and even the trajectory of dust particles in the air were all incorporated into his calculations in an instant.

On that pirate ship several kilometers away, the heartbeats of every pirate sounded like drums in his ears.

In his "vision," the entire structure of the ship became as if it were transparent.

The moment his thought arose, his perception, like an invisible lens, instantly zoomed in, passing through the deck and focusing on the captain's cabin.

A burly man with a face full of scars was standing on the table, holding a bottle of liquor and laughing wildly. On his thick arm was a scar that looked like a centipede.

"Target... locked."

Ryan slowly picked up the finely crafted, jet-black pistol from beside his feet.

He didn't even get up, remaining in his fishing posture, but casually raised his arm, pointed towards that distant direction, and pulled the trigger.

boom.

A faint, almost inaudible sound on the vast ocean.

Several kilometers away, in the captain's cabin of the pirate ship, the maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.

One of the pirates turned around in horror and saw that their captain had a small bloody hole in his forehead, and before the smile on his face had faded, he fell straight backward.

[Trial successful!]

[Prisoner: "Whip Scar" Gar]

Overall Rating: R8

[Status: Executed]

[Sin Index: 530]

[Execution participation rate: 100%]

[Sin Points Gained: 530]

[Optional Benefits]: (5 options available)

He could "hear" the chaos on the pirate ship opposite him clearly, even from several kilometers away.

He stood up and put away his fishing rod.

When the pirate ship, which had lost its captain, drifted a little closer, Rein placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

Om-!

The blade is drawn.

He pointed in that direction and waved forward.

A hundred-meter-long cyan sword aura, like a crescent moon, shot out from the blade. At a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive, it instantly traversed a distance of several thousand meters, flashing past the center of the pirate ship!

The next second, amidst the desperate screams of countless pirates, the entire pirate ship was neatly broken in two with a loud bang!

In my mind, a series of "trial successful" notification sounds flashed across the screen.

Raine calmly sheathed his sword, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

Over the past six months, a steady stream of new pirates has provided Rein with abundant resources.

Thanks to the start of this "Great Pirate Era," although most of the pirates appearing in the East Blue are weak and insignificant, their sheer number is overwhelming. During these six months, Rein was fortunate enough to encounter a few individuals who possessed even a basic understanding of Armament Haki.

After successfully unlocking basic Armament Haki through the trial, he unhesitatingly used his sin points to raise his Armament Haki to the current limit that his physique could support—[Top Level]!

Even after exchanging for top-tier Armament Haki, thanks to the numerous pirates he's encountered over the past six months, his sin index still has a surplus of over 250,000.

The only drawback is that his [physical realm] progresses slowly after reaching the [advanced] level.

The pirate ship was currently filled with R-rank and N-rank minor pirates. Rein didn't even bother to examine the optional benefits closely. After casually confirming and selecting "Physical Inheritance" for all of them, several weak warm currents rippled almost imperceptibly within his surging power, before disappearing instantly.

If he didn't carefully observe, he wouldn't even be able to be sure whether he had become stronger.

"really……"

Renn sighed helplessly to himself.

"Since my physique reached the [Advanced] level, the 'nutrients' that R-rank and N-rank pirates can provide have been decreasing."

"If you want to take it a step further and step into the threshold of the [top], you probably have to go and judge those truly 'big shots'."

Thinking of this, Renn opened his personal panel to check.

Name: Corvo Rein

Age: 16

[Physical Realm]: Advanced

[Talent]: Hearing the Voice of All Things

[Skills]: Swordsmanship (Top Level), Shooting (Advanced), Stealth (Advanced), Combat Skills (Advanced), Cooking (Advanced), Navigation (Advanced)

[Equipment]: Fine Quick Sword x1, Excellent Firearm x1, Storage Ring

Chapter 16 Garp: No Reason to Be Calculated

Over the past six months, a steady stream of new pirates has provided Rein with abundant resources.

Thanks to the start of this "Great Pirate Era," although most of the pirates appearing in the East Blue are weak and insignificant, their sheer number is overwhelming. During these six months, Rein was fortunate enough to encounter a few individuals who possessed even a basic understanding of Armament Haki.

After successfully unlocking basic Armament Haki through execution, he unhesitatingly used his sin points to raise his Armament Haki to the current limit that his physique could support—[Top Level]!

Thanks to the various pirates he encountered over the past six months, even after exchanging for top-tier Armament Haki, he still had a surplus of over 250,000 Sin Points.

Rein felt the immense power within him, a power that was now vastly different from what it had been six months ago, and silently estimated its extent in his mind.

"I should now be at about the average level of a lieutenant general in this unit."

“However…” Rein’s mind drifted to several figures from his previous life’s manga, “I wonder what positions Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru hold now.”

"I'm still quite far from being a real 'monster'."

Thanks to Vice Admiral Tsuru's heroic pronouncements of "resisting the overwhelming power and saving face for the Navy," Rein not only escaped punishment after recovering from his injuries but also became a hero of the Loguetown branch.

Not long after, a symbolic commendation order was issued from headquarters, promoting him from private to sergeant.

However, at Ryan's own insistence, he was not transferred from the executioner position, which was considered extremely unlucky by others.

Raine had no interest in military rank, and the meager allowance of a sergeant was nothing to him.

For him, nothing was more important than the legitimate and continuous "judgment of evil."

After all, executing criminals is like a bloody but clearly rewarding job. Every execution yields "sin points" and "optional benefits" as rewards.

And fishing...

Thinking of this, he picked up his fishing rod, looked at the empty fish bucket at his feet, and sighed with some frustration.

"As expected, I have absolutely no talent for fishing."

He stood up, put away his fishing rod, and silently planned in his mind: "I'll have to keep a close eye out another day to see if any pirates have the [Fishing] skill."

With this unrealistic idea in mind, Renn steered the small boat back to the port of Loguetown.

In the very center of the harbor, on the berth usually reserved for high-ranking officials, stood an enormous naval warship, quietly at rest.

"Headquarters ship? This size... which vice admiral has arrived?"

A question flashed through Renn's mind. But when his gaze followed the long hull of the ship and slowly moved upwards, finally landing on the iconic figurehead, he was filled with a sense of wonder.

What comes into view is a magnificent and enormous dog head statue.

There is only one warship in the entire navy, and even on the entire ocean, that possesses this insignia.

It belongs to the man hailed as a "naval hero".

Ryan steered the small boat slowly toward the harbor.

They discovered that all the naval soldiers were looking at the dog-headed warship with a mixture of "admiration," "excitement," and "awe," and they were even somewhat absent-minded during their daily patrols, as if just being able to see that ship once more was a great honor.

"Karp...what's he doing in Loguetown?"

Raine's doubts deepened, so he parked the ship in an inconspicuous corner and quietly returned to the base.

As soon as he stepped through the door, his superior, Captain Scarface Stock, rushed out from the side as if he had seen a ghost.

"Hey...boy! You...you're finally back!" Stock grabbed Ryan, his voice trembling. "Where have you been?! I've been looking for you for ages!"

Ryan pointed expressionlessly to the fishing rod in his hand: "Fishing."

"Fishing?" Stock reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with fur. He snatched Ryan's fishing rod and slammed it to the ground. "What kind of time is this to be fishing?! Hurry! Come with me! Lieutenant General Garp... he specifically asked to see you!"

……

Amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of countless sailors, Rein walked alone onto the deck of the dog-headed warship.

He saw that the legendary "naval hero" was wearing a white suit, sitting cross-legged on the deck, eating senbei with gusto, and waving at him impatiently.
