The World of One Piece
Year 1520 of the Sea Calendar
On the vast, boundless East Blue, in the waters near the Goa Kingdom, the waves surged. Luffy, having just set sail, was excitedly exploring this mysterious ocean world in his simple little boat.
However, good times don't last. Not long after Luffy's boat set off, it encountered a powerful ocean current vortex. This vortex, like a fierce beast, tightly sucked in the small boat, making escape impossible.
Facing such a perilous situation, Luffy made a snap decision: he abandoned his small boat and hid inside a barrel. This barrel became his last straw of hope in the vast sea.
Time passed, minute by minute, as the barrel slowly drifted, pushed by the current. After an unknown amount of time, the barrel was finally discovered by two sailors from a passing luxury merchant ship.
Upon seeing the barrel, the two sailors were overjoyed. They immediately fished it out of the water, brought it aboard, and placed it in the merchant ship's cargo hold.
Meanwhile, on a deserted island not far from the merchant ship, a solitary figure quietly observed everything. This person had been on this small island for a full day, his gaze never leaving the merchant ship.
When he saw the merchant ship retrieve the barrel, a surge of excitement welled up within him. For when he had transmigrated to this world, the system had told him that Luffy had just set sail, and the person inside this barrel was very likely Luffy himself!
Just two days prior, under a bright sun and gentle breeze, Shin'ya Kurozawa walked out of a comic convention in high spirits. His cosplay of Senju Hashirama was so lifelike that it attracted many passersby's attention. However, as he reached the middle of a crossroads, a sudden disaster struck.
Suddenly, all the vehicles waiting at the traffic light seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force, losing control and rushing straight toward Shin'ya. As far as the eye could see, there were at least fifty vehicles, like a pack of ferocious beasts, completely blocking Shin'ya's path.
Facing such a desperate situation, Shin'ya did not panic. His mind was unusually calm. He calmly pulled out his phone from his pocket, pressed the format button without hesitation, and then casually tossed the phone aside. Immediately after, he took a deep breath, turned around, and faced the rapidly approaching vehicles head-on.
Shin'ya clapped his hands together fiercely and shouted, "Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha!" In an instant, a powerful surge of adrenaline erupted from his body, as if to challenge those cars to a showdown.
However, reality is often cruel. Before long, shouts from others echoed down the street, "There's been a car accident! Call the crematorium quickly! He's been crushed into meat paste!"
Clearly, Shin'ya's True Several Thousand Hands had lost in this vastly unequal contest of strength, and his life came to an abrupt end at that very moment.
When Shin'ya opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find himself on a desolate island. The island was small, only about a mile in circumference, with nothing but a few lonely coconut trees.
Just then, a voice echoed in Shin'ya's mind.
["Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully transmigrating to the world of One Piece. It is currently the year 1520 of the Sea Calendar, and Luffy has just departed from Foosha Village. I am a one-time template system and will leave after granting the Host a Beginner's Gift Pack. Please strive to survive."]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for receiving the Beginner's Gift Pack.]
[Ding! The Beginner's Gift Pack has been automatically used by the Host. Given that the Host cosplayed Senju Hashirama before transmigrating, congratulations, Host, on acquiring the Senju Hashirama template.]
[Ding! Commencing template ability fusion: 10%… 50%… 90%… 100%. Template fusion successful.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, the template fusion is successful. The Host possesses all of Senju Hashirama's peak power, gaining abilities such as: Sage Body, Wood Release Secret Arts, Sage Art Secret Arts, etc., and can freely use ninjutsu.]
[Rewards distributed. Reminder to Host: Luffy's departure time is tomorrow morning. The Host can wait on this small island for 1 day. According to system calculations, after Luffy sets sail tomorrow, he will be caught in a whirlpool near the island and then be salvaged by a passing merchant ship.]
[Ding! System rewards have been distributed. Goodbye, Host.]
The system then left behind only a quest panel function and promptly departed without looking back.
Shin'ya looked at his panel.

(Hashirama stated during the Fourth Great Ninja War that Naruto's total chakra + Naruto's Sage Mode chakra + half of Kurama + partial chakra from the other 8 Tailed Beasts = approximately 90% of Hashirama's total chakra. His total chakra volume is basically infinitely close to Six Paths level.)

And then, the opening scene happened.
Shin'ya watched as the barrel was salvaged by the merchant ship's sailors. He knew he could now set off and follow this ship. When they encountered pirates, that would be his moment to appear.
---
On the other side…
A pirate ship, painted with pink hearts and shaped like a duck, appeared on the sea. On board was a corpulent woman with a pockmarked face, wielding a spiked club. She was Alvida of the Iron Mace, a pirate with a bounty of 5 million Berries.
At this moment, Alvida was questioning a short, trembling man holding a mop.
"Coby, who is the most beautiful woman on this vast ocean?" Alvida asked the short man before her.
Coby stammered his reply, "Of… of course it's you, Lady Alvida."
Alvida laughed heartily, "Well said, Coby. You don't have to do your chores today. I'm giving you half a day off."
Just then, a pirate grunt ran over and said, "Captain Alvida, there's a very luxurious merchant ship not far ahead. Should we plunder it?"
Alvida: "Ahahahaha~! Lads, full speed ahead after that merchant ship! We're going to plunder them!"
Pirates: "Aye, Captain!"
Before long, Alvida successfully intercepted the merchant ship and began to loot its treasures, not even sparing the food supplies.
Just as the plundering was nearly complete, two pirates emerged, carrying two barrels.
They said, "Captain Alvida, all the treasure and supplies have been moved."
However, what all the pirates didn't know was that two uninvited guests had boarded their pirate ship. A beautiful woman in a sailor's uniform with orange hair secretly slipped into the treasure room.
And a person 1.9 meters tall, with long black hair and wearing red armor, also appeared on Alvida's pirate ship's crow's nest. He planned to observe the situation before deciding how to join the Straw Hat Pirates. (Don't ask why he didn't save the merchant ship; the word "luxury" implies they are nobles, and if they're nobles, why bother saving them?)
Meanwhile, as all the pirates moved the supplies and treasures back to their pirate ship, they began to count the goods and sort them into different places. Just as the pirates were almost finished tidying up, Nami, carrying a large bag of treasure, was secretly preparing to leave.
As Nami opened the door to the treasure room, she saw two pirates carrying treasure, about to open the door. In an instant, Nami froze in an awkward position.
Pirate grunt: "Someone's stealing treasure! Quick, catch the thief!"
Hearing about a thief, everyone who was moving supplies dropped their goods and joined the chase for Nami. After a chaotic pursuit, the pirates finally cornered Nami next to two barrels.
Alvida: "Brat, you dare to come aboard my pirate ship and steal treasure! You have a death wish! Lads, get her! Kill this brat!"
Alvida roared furiously, her voice deafening, as if it could overturn the entire sea.
Nami watched in terror as the pirates surrounded her, their faces distorted, brandishing their sharp blades, glaring at her like hungry wolves at their prey. Nami's heart pounded rapidly, cold sweat beaded on her forehead, and an unprecedented sense of despair washed over her.
"Damn it, am I going to die here?" Nami inwardly despaired. "What about everyone in the village? I can't fall here, at least not before I've bought back the village!"
Nami gripped her staff tightly, her fingers slightly white from the excessive force. She widened her eyes, staring fixedly at the dozens of approaching blades, which glinted with a chilling light in the sunlight, sending shivers down her spine.
Just as Nami was about to fight to the death, suddenly, she heard two voices speak at the same time.
