Solian Flare's eyes snapped open, his body jolting awake as the warmth of the sun bathed his skin. The sensation was overwhelming—more vivid than anything he had ever experienced before. The scent of salt in the air, the distant cries of seagulls, and the gentle rocking beneath him all screamed one thing: he was at sea.
His breath hitched. No way… this can't be real.
Sitting up, he found himself on a small wooden raft, drifting across a vast blue ocean. But this wasn't just any ocean—this was the One Piece world. His heart pounded in his chest, not from fear, but from excitement.
"I actually got isekai'd into One Piece?" he muttered, staring at his hands in disbelief. "This is insane… but awesome!"
Unlike most people who would panic, Solian couldn't stop the grin spreading across his face. As a hardcore fan of One Piece, he knew exactly what kind of world he was in. It was dangerous, chaotic, and full of monsters—but it was also a land of adventure, strength, and limitless potential.
Then, it happened.
[System Activation: Solar Rift Conqueror Installed]
A translucent blue screen appeared before him, confirming what he had suspected. He had a system.
[Welcome, Solian Flare. You are now bound to the Solar Rift System.]
Solian's eyes gleamed. "Hell yes! I've got a system too? This just keeps getting better!"
The screen updated:
[Devil Fruit Acquired: Taiyo Rendo no Mi (Solar Rift Fruit)]
Abilities: Solar Energy Manipulation | Rift Creation
His breath caught. A custom Devil Fruit? One that combines energy and portals? This was beyond overpowered. But before he got ahead of himself, he knew that just because he had the fruit didn't mean he was strong yet.
[First Mission: Unlock Your First Rift]
Condition: Successfully create a stable portal
Reward: 10 System Points + Basic Solar Energy Manipulation
Failure: No penalty, but retry required.
Solian exhaled. "Alright, time to test this fruit."
Raising his hand, he focused, trying to visualize a portal forming in front of him. He willed his energy into existence, picturing a rift tearing through space. Come on, open!
Nothing happened.
Frowning, he clenched his fist. "Damn, it's not automatic. I actually have to figure this out."
The system wasn't just giving him power on a silver platter—he had to earn it. A slow grin formed on his face. Good. That makes things more interesting.
Taking a deep breath, he concentrated again, feeling warmth spread through his body as the power of the sun seemed to pulse within him…
His journey had just begun.
