"4998, 4999, 5000!"
A young boy on the beach, with only his head above the water, was constantly waving a wooden sword in his hand. Each swing was incredibly swift, but when he slashed at the sea, it only caused small splashes.
"7802, 7803… 9999, 10000!"
After swinging ten thousand times, the boy slowly walked onto the beach, then collapsed onto the sand as if all the strength had been drained from his body.
"Hoo… Hoo… Hoo… It's been a year. It's been a year since I came to this world. My body should be able to undergo the next step of training."
The boy's name was Albert, and Albert was a transmigrator. As for why he transmigrated, in a nutshell—he died!
Albert didn't know why he transmigrated either. Anyway, he just did. In a word, it was a case of transmigration at the slightest provocation.
It all started a year ago…
A year ago, when Albert woke up in this world, he was lying in bed, feeling incredibly weak. Then, a flood of memories surged into his mind. After the memories merged, Albert realized that this body was thirteen years old, an orphan who had aspired to be a great swordsman since childhood.
However, to make a living, he could only work as a handyman on a ship. But unfortunately, he encountered pirates and was then cruelly thrown into the sea by them. Albert thought about it and felt that the predecessor was a miracle of life, actually being rescued unharmed. Oh no, it couldn't be considered unharmed, because he died, and only then could he transmigrate. Thinking like this, Albert should really thank the miracle of life.
Through the memories, Albert also knew what kind of world this was—the One Piece world.
That's right, the world where pirates were everywhere. At that moment, Albert was stunned. Although he liked One Piece in his previous life, he didn't want to be in this world. Why did others transmigrate to ancient times to farm, or get a system to level up, or write novels in parallel worlds? When it came to him, he ended up in a world of powerhouses who could blow up mountains at every turn.
Albert really wanted to cry. The key was that even though he transmigrated, he didn't even have a system. such a bad luck!
Since he knew he had come to the One Piece world, Albert felt a deep sense of crisis. Although One Piece was depicted very well, but, that was in the manga!!!
This was the world of One Piece! What were pirates? They were a group of people who killed, set fires, robbed, and did all sorts of evil. They weren't like the Straw Hat Pirates, who only knew how to adventure all day long. Don't believe it? Look at the original owner of this body, who was killed by pirates. His memories remembered that those people threw him into the sea for fun. Remember, there are Sea Kings in this world.
So, the question is, to survive in this world, you must first have power. Otherwise, as an ordinary person, you wouldn't know when you'd encounter pirates and then be finished. Thinking of this, Albert wanted to cry. He must have encountered a fake transmigration.
Just as Albert was thinking wildly, a blue-haired beauty in a yellow plaid shirt walked in from the door.
You're awake.
Albert supported his weak body and raised his head, saying, "Are you the one, who saved me?
"Yes!" The blue-haired beauty nodded, adding "Can you tell me what happened to you?"
"I encountered pirates." Albert said very calmly; though in his mind he couldn't stay calm. but at the same time, that was someone else's experience, and it had nothing to do with him.
However, the blue-haired beauty didn't think so. She felt that it was because Albert had suffered a great trauma, so he was so indifferent to cover up his own pain.
The blue-haired beauty hugged Albert, crying with infinite affection:
"Waaah, how pitiful. At such a young age, you've suffered such a terrible thing. Don't be afraid, now that I'm here, you don't have to be afraid anymore."
Albert, who was immersed in the soft embrace, was stunned by these words. What the heck, how did it become like this?
However, this big sister's embrace was so soft, so big, and so fragrant.
The blue-haired beauty looked at Albert, who was showing a reassuring smile in her arms, and her desire to protect him was even stronger.
"Little brother, what's your name?"
"My name is Albert. What's your name, big sister?" Albert raised his head and showed an innocent smile, but he continue to hug her even tighter.
The blue-haired beauty didn't mind Albert's actions. She thought it was a subconscious reaction of a boy after a disaster, when he found a safe haven again.
"My name is Rika, and i'm the one who saved you, you'll be my little brother from now on. We're a family from now on, okay?"
"Family?" Albert's eyes lit up, and he secretly rejoiced, 'Yes, this is good.'
"Okay, you'll be my Sister Rika from now on."
Rika patted Albert's hair: "Alright, you must be hungry, i will make you some food." With that, she broke free from Albert's arms and went to cook.
Before long, Rika walked in with a plate of seafood fried rice. Albert was really hungry, and the large plate of fried rice quickly disappeared. After a while, he lay in Rika's arms again and chatted with her.
Through the conversation, Albert learned that he was in Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue, and his Sister Rika ran a small restaurant in the village. That day, she was buying food on another island when she encountered him, who was unconscious at sea, and saved him.
At night, Albert lay in bed alone, thinking about the information he had learned from Sister Rika, and secretly made up his mind. Since he had come to this world, for the sake of his own life, he would also strive to become a strong person, and then go on a sea voyage. Otherwise, how could he live up to his transmigration?
Albert, who had made up his mind, had a good night's sleep. The next day, as soon as it was light, he got up and started running.
Rika, who woke up in the morning, habitually came to Albert's room. Seeing that Albert wasn't in the room, she was immediately panicked and hurried out of the shop, wanting to find Albert. At this moment, Albert had just returned from running.
"Good morning, Sister Rika."
Seeing Albert returning from running, Rika's heart relaxed, and she immediately said fiercely, Where did you go?
"I went running."
"What running! You just recovered, how can you go running?"
Albert looked at Rika, who was scolding him, and felt a warmth in his heart, "Sister Rika, I'm fine. After eating the food you made yesterday, I'm completely healed."
Rika was also relieved by Albert's words, but she still scolded, "You still can't do such strenuous exercise."
Albert lowered his head and wanted to cry, "Sister Rika, I want to become stronger. I will never allow myself to be so weak and helpless when I encounter pirates again."
Rika was also in pain when she heard this. After such a terrible thing, how could Albert tolerate his own incompetence? She couldn't say anything at the moment, but only told Albert to do what he could.
With Rika's permission, Albert began his training life.
Running, push-ups, sit-ups, weighted cross-country…
Every day, Albert exhausted himself, but the effect was also obvious. Feeling the power contained in his body, Albert was filled with excitement. This world was really great, the training was awesome.
First, there was a kind of energy in this world that Albert didn't know, as long as people worked hard to cultivate, then the body could quickly absorb this energy, making their body stronger and stronger.
This point may not be understood by the people of this world, but as a person from a modern society with serious environmental pollution, Albert felt deeply.
Since coming to this world, Albert felt that every breath would make him feel incredibly comfortable. The effect of practicing for one day in this world was stronger than practicing for ten days in his previous life. Second, this world had no mobile phones, no computers, no online games, and most importantly, no internet, 'Sigh, why is there no internet?'
In this world without the internet, Albert, who was a homebody in his previous life, was completely erased of his homebody nature by such a world without the internet.
He went to sleep as soon as it got dark, and woke up as soon as it got light, completely curing his laziness from his previous life.
