Haiyuan calendar year 1516.
East China Sea, Sixis Island.
This is a very famous and terrifying uninhabited island in the East China Sea.
It is famous because the island is very beautiful, but the scary thing is that it is a desert island with no animals and no fruits on the trees, only a jungle of dead trees.
If you accidentally encounter a storm at sea and drift to this island, it is easy to starve to death.
In addition to the unstable climate, the people of the East China Sea have always kept their distance from Sixis Island, and they dared not even approach the waters where the island is located, for fear of accidentally entering it due to weather changes.
But today, a medium-sized three-masted sailing ship took the initiative to enter the island.
A boy of only sixteen years old, carrying a large amount of supplies, took the initiative to challenge the island.
…
Three months later, in the dead woods.
"Finally found it, it was not easy!"
The boy went from being a bright and handsome boy to a ragged homeless man. Looking at the devil fruit covered with flame patterns in his hand, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and bit the fruit. After taking a bite of the flesh, he threw the fruit away.
boom!
The next moment, a powerful flame erupted from the boy's body.
The orange flames emitted a very high temperature, burning all the dead grass on the ground, but they were unable to turn the ground into scorched earth.
The flames gradually dissipated, and the boy's figure reunited.
Feeling the power that appeared out of nowhere in his body, the boy said with satisfaction and amazement: "The power is pouring out. It is worthy of being recognized as the strongest devil fruit among the three major types."
After saying this, the boy summoned a virtual panel that only he could see.

The boy's name is Dewey. In fact, he is a time traveler and has been in this world for more than half a year.
When he came to this world and found out that it was the world of pirates where the sales of his previous life's manga were the best-selling, Dewey felt desperate.
Fortunately, Dewey has a golden finger for the 'game system' in his body.
The game system digitized his body, and as long as he knew how to learn it, he could learn any skill other than the Devil Fruit in seconds.
Through a book about basic swordsmanship that was widely available in every bookstore, Dewey embarked on the path of becoming a swordsman.
However, he was not satisfied.
Although in this world, swordsmanship can be mastered to the point where it can split mountains and break seas, the process is really too slow.
Dewey, who knows well how terrifying this world is, needs the power to reach the sky in one step.
It just so happens that in this world, there are things that can make people reach great heights overnight.
That is the legendary secret treasure of the sea – the "Devil Fruit".
There are very few people with special abilities in the East China Sea, and it is simply a daydream to want to find an ownerless devil fruit in this sea area.
However, as a fan of the original novel, Dewey knew the locations of two ownerless devil fruits.
One is the "Paradox-Type Slippery Fruit", which was eaten by Alrita, the first person to appear. Although the location is not accurate, it should be on several islands near the town of Shields.
The other is the "Nature-type Flame-Flame Fruit", which is located on "Sixis Island" where Ace met his first crew member, Mascude Deus.
After realizing that the Flame-Flame Fruit had no owner yet, Dewey decided to eat the Flame-Flame Fruit before Ace.
As for whether the Flame-Flame Fruit would be restrained by the magma fruit, Dewey didn't care about that at all. What he wanted was a sense of security.
Dewey, who only knows basic swordsmanship, can be seriously injured or even killed by a single shell.
After eating the Flame-Flame Fruit and becoming an elemental being, Dewey is invincible in the East China Sea and even the first half of the Grand Line, as long as he doesn't encounter a powerful and domineering person or a seastone weapon.
As long as he feels safe, Dewey will have time to develop slowly.
"You can leave now."
Dewey was not in a hurry to increase the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, but walked downhill, intending to leave the island.
The climate of the four seas is not as varied as that of the Grand Route, with the exception of a few islands.
Sixis Island is one of them.
During these three months, if Dewey had not taken precautions and prepared clothes and medicines for all four seasons in advance, he would have almost died from a cold.
After getting what he had always dreamed of, the first thing Dewey did was to leave this damn uninhabited island.
Back on the sailboat, Dewey weighed anchor and sailed away.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Dewey came to the deck. Looking at the island that was getting smaller and smaller, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile that had never appeared since he traveled through time.
"Now that we have the confidence, the next step is to improve our strength, find crew members, and head to the Grand Line."
Dewey clenched his palms slightly and said to himself.
Coming to the pirate world that I loved so much in my previous life, if I don't go out to sea for adventure, it would be like I have lived in vain.
Before, Dewey didn't have the strength, so he didn't dare to go to that great ocean.
Now that he has become a user of nature abilities, he also wants to make a name for himself on the sea.
"First, we need to replenish our supplies, and then find an uninhabited island to develop our capabilities."

Two months later, they found themselves on an uninhabited island that was not much different in size from Sixis Island, half of which was covered with rocks and the other half was covered with forests.
"Fire Fist——!"
"Giant fireball, giant fire dragon, giant fire extinguished, giant fire extinguished…"
"Fireguns, flaming bombs, large flaming bombs, dragon flame song…"
The rocks of varying heights have stood on this island for who knows how long.
Today, they were attacked by various forms of fire.
The powerful impact force smashed them into pieces, and the terrifying high temperature burned the rubble red, scorching the air and the earth, turning the nearby ground into scorched earth, creating a hot zone that ordinary people could not approach.
Dewey, his entire body covered in flames, indiscriminately released his abilities to those around him.
The advantage of being a time traveler gives Dewey a very rich imagination.
Apart from a few useful moves, Dewey did not copy Ace's moves, but instead copied the Fire Style Ninjutsu from another popular manga.
These moves are organized into two series: "Fire Series" and "Flame Bomb Series".
