Chapter 1: I'm Luffy! The Man Who's Gonna Be King of the Pirates!
Kaito Ren sat on the edge of his bed, the cool morning air enveloping him like a lingering dream. The last month had been a whirlwind of confusion and bewilderment. He had awoken in what appeared to be a modern version of Earth, yet everything felt slightly off. The surroundings were familiar—a cozy apartment, a buzzing city outside—but the rules of this world had flipped entirely on their head.
Women ruled everything.
Kaito ran a hand through his flowing black hair, reminiscent of that infamous pirate Shanks from One Piece. He had spent countless hours scouring the internet for answers, but every time he turned on his laptop, he was met with the same disheartening reality. There was no One Piece. No grand adventures, no Straw Hat crew, no legendary treasure waiting to be found. Just endless pages filled with romance novels and stories about societal norms that made his heart ache with longing.
In his previous life, Kaito had been a 35-year-old office worker, drowning in reports and deadlines, a solitary figure in a sea of bustling life. He lived for anime, especially One Piece, which had woven its way into the very fabric of his being. It had provided him with laughter, inspiration, and a sense of adventure he never truly felt in reality. Now, he felt like a ghost—an outsider peering into a world that belonged to someone else.
Every transmigrator he had ever read about seemed to have some sort of cheat skill or golden finger to help navigate their new lives. But here he was, stripped of any special abilities. All he had was a wealth of memories from his past life and a heart full of unfulfilled dreams.
With a sigh, he opened his laptop. It felt both comforting and alien. As he navigated through the web, his frustration mounted. He searched for streaming sites, manga shops, anything that might hold even a hint of One Piece, but each attempt met with failure. He stumbled upon a name that sent a jolt through him—Ei Oda. The CEO of a popular romance novel publishing company.
"Why would anyone want to read about love stories when there are pirates out there?!" he muttered, slumping back against the wall. The desperation for a taste of his beloved series gnawed at him. It was absurd; he was in a world without One Piece, yet he longed for it more than anything.
A flicker of an idea sparked in his mind. If this world didn't have One Piece, then why not create it himself? Sure, he didn't possess any skills in drawing or animating—it was a bitter truth—but he could write. He had always enjoyed crafting stories in the quiet confines of his mind.
His fingers hovered over the keyboard. He hesitated, the weight of self-doubt pressing down on him. What did he know about storytelling in this new world? But then again, what did he have to lose? He could already feel the gnawing loneliness creeping back in; writing might just be his lifeline.
With determination surging through him, he navigated to a familiar site—Webnovel. It felt like a portal to his old life, a chance to channel his love for One Piece into something tangible. He took a deep breath and created a new document, the blank page staring back at him as if daring him to fill it.
Chapter 1: I'm Luffy! The Man Who's Gonna Be King of the Pirates!
He began typing, the words flowing from his fingertips as if they had been waiting for this moment. The story of a boy who dreams of becoming the king of the pirates, setting sail on adventures that would change the world. A story that would ignite hope and inspire those around him.
As he wrote, Kaito poured his heart into every line, crafting a universe where dreams clashed with reality, and where freedom was worth fighting for. In that moment, he wasn't just Kaito Ren; he was Luffy, the adventurous spirit of his imagination, embarking on a journey that would shake the foundations of this world dominated by women.
He didn't know where this path would lead him or what challenges lay ahead, but as he typed the final sentence of the chapter, he felt something shift within him. For the first time since his arrival in this strange world, he felt alive.
"This is just the beginning," he whispered to himself, closing his laptop with a sense of satisfaction. "I'm going to show this world what a true adventure looks like."
And thus began Kaito's journey—a journey that would not only bring One Piece to life in this new realm but would also challenge the very norms that held sway over society. The greatest story ever written was just getting started.
