November 12, 1520, Maritime Circle Calendar.
Western Blue Sea,
deserted island;
noise!
The sound shattered the silence of the air.
A young man appeared on the beach in a black form-fitting combat suit with red laminated armor.
"Water Style·Explosive Wave!!" he declared.
Buzzing!
Accompanied by intimidating chakra vibrations, he smiled. His handsome face with black hair expressed calmness, and his hands formed the sign for a ninjutsu technique.
Boom!
The previously calm sea suddenly erupted into a frenzy of activity.
A series of massive waves, several meters high, rose and raced towards the deserted island with furious speed. The terrifying sight resembled a twelfth-level tsunami, full of overwhelming power.
"Fire Style·Dying Flame!"
Seeing this,
the corners of the young man's lips curled into a slight smile. He slowly joined his hands again, and as chakra gathered in his throat, he unleashed a massive stream of scorching flame straight ahead.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
In the next moment,
the massive waves collided with the heavenly flame.
A terrifying shockwave exploded in the air. The temperature was so high that the seawater literally boiled.
White steam rose into the sky, dispersing the clouds. In an instant, the steam covered the entire area. It was both a horrifying and breathtaking sight!
If anyone had been there, they would surely have been stunned.
Because... neither the fire nor the giant waves were the power of a Devil Fruit. It was pure ninjutsu, extremely rare in this world.
One second...
Ten seconds...
Three minutes...
Time passed,
and only after five minutes did the frenzied clash of water and fire gradually subside.
The white steam slowly began to dissipate, and the turbulent sea surface returned to its calm state. If not for the huge crater with a diameter of dozens of meters on the beach, no one would have thought that a battle had just occurred here.
"The power isn't bad..."
Tengen carefully observed the crater where seawater was pouring in, smiled, and nodded. Then, with a few jumps, he made his way to a rock at the edge of the island, sat cross-legged, and happily gazed at the vast sea.
"Cool!"
There's nothing more satisfying than getting stronger!
Yes,
he was a time traveler,
who found himself in the world of pirates.
It's been almost a year since he ended up here.
Honestly, even Tengen himself couldn't believe it.
He was simply playing a mobile ninja game before bed,
and suddenly found himself in the One Piece world, on a deserted island without a soul in sight.
At first, he despaired, feeling helpless and bitter.
Because the One Piece world—
is a world ruled by the strongest, where origins play a key role.
With his weak skills and lack of connections, if he left this island and encountered pirates, his death would be swift and inglorious.
Moreover,
after finding a few tattered newspapers on the island,
he learned that he was in the West Blue Sea, and the time was the end of 1519 according to the Sea Circle Calendar (he had traveled to the past). Not long ago, the main hero of One Piece—the king of the stage,the jinjuriki of Nika, the sun god—Monkey D. Luffy—had set sail.
In other words,
with his abilities and strength,
the road to the East Blue Sea to join Luffy and follow him to the peak of glory
was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Almost impossible...
Frustrating?
Absolutely!
Before him lay a vast road to success,
but he could do nothing, only watch.
Fortunately,
in a seemingly hopeless situation, a miracle occurred.
Just as Tengen resigned himself to his fate and planned to live a quiet life,
something unexpected happened.
He awakened a divine auto-signing system.
Once a day, he could receive random rewards just by doing an auto-signature anywhere. He could also set a permanent auto-signature point, and if he signed in at an upgraded system location, the rewards were even better.
Since then,
Tengen, having awakened the system,
unhesitatingly set the deserted island as the permanent auto-signature location.
The first time, he received incredible fortune — a template of Uchiha Madara with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan (note: only the abilities and combat experience, without character influence)
Tengen instantly integrated Madara's template.
But... his body was too weak.
In system terms, when forced fusion occurs, the body explodes and dies. Therefore, he could only gradually integrate the Uchiha Madara template with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, slowly unlocking it.
It so happened that he also chose this deserted island as the permanent auto-signature location. Without hesitation, he calmly stayed on this island, marking every day to become stronger while gradually integrating Madara's eternal template.
And so, in the blink of an eye, nearly a year passed.
– At this stage, the War at the Summit had ended, and the sea gradually calmed. In two years, Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates will reunite at the Sabaody Archipelago. They will rise to the sky, and no one will be able to stop them.
When he thought of this, Tengen lazily picked up the fresh newspaper.
Since gaining some strength, although he often stays on this island to mark and become stronger, when he has time, he also visits commercial islands in the West Blue Sea to buy supplies and gather information. Along the way, he became a bounty hunter, catching pirates and exchanging them for rewards, living an ordinary yet eventful life.
As for the newspaper content, it surprisingly covered events that occurred at sea some time ago. For example: with the death of Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, chaos began in the waters of the New World; Blackbeard confidently declared to the world that from now on, it was the era of Blackbeard; the Marine Headquarters also announced to the world that the War at the Summit was a great victory, and so on...
– That Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral , Sengoku, turning into a golden giant Buddha and waving his hand in the air a couple of times, really needed to wrap most of his body in a white bandage? That's a bit too much!
Suddenly, Tengen noticed something and with a smile tossed the newspaper aside. If someone were here, they would see that on the front page of the newspaper was a photo of Marshal Sengoku, completely wrapped in bandages. People unaware of the truth might think that Marshal Sengoku played a significant role in the War at the Summit, displaying incredible power.
In reality, even without watching the live broadcast, Tengen knows that, apart from Sakazuki, almost all the high-ranking combat forces of the Marines at the War at the Summit were just bystanders. In any case, the battle ended. Akainu was severely injured, Aokiji received minor injuries, and Kizaru's clothes were slightly dirtied.
"There is no information about the Straw Hat Pirates in the newspaper at all. It seems Monkey D. Luffy's connections are in full swing, right?"
A smile appeared on his cheek, and he whispered to himself:
"The Straw Hat Pirates, who were in the spotlight at Impel Down and the War at the Summit, seem to have vanished afterward. It looks like they want to give Straw Hat Luffy time to grow?"
"In two years, the seas will fully enter the era of Monkey D. Luffy."
"But... what does it matter? It doesn't concern me. I just want to quietly mark time and become stronger."
After a few seconds, Tengen shook his head and didn't dwell too much on it.
In two years, starting from the Sabaody Archipelago, the Straw Hat Pirates will embark on their meteoric rise. In just half a year, they will manage to defeat Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, and successfully join the ranks of the Four Emperors.
Especially Monkey D. Luffy, who was held back for two years by the teacher mediocre Silvers Rayleigh. Teacher Kaido awakened the Devil Fruit, Mythical Beast, Nika Form, in just a few strikes. I must say, it was quite overpowered.
