In the year 1510 of the Haiyuan Calendar, Impel Down Prison, Red Lotus Hell.
"Hey, wake up. Get up and eat quickly. Stop pretending to be dead." A harsh voice echoed into Qin Chuan's ears.
The next moment, a heavy kick struck his hip, jerking him awake.
"Damn it, finish your food before you drop dead. It's your turn to fight later." A man in a military cap, white coat, and green trousers glared down at him.
"This... where am I?" Qin Chuan asked, dazed, looking around the dim, oppressive cell.
"Haha, looks like you've been scared stupid. Let me remind you properly—this is the first floor of Impel Down, Red Lotus Hell. This meal might be your last, so enjoy it." The guard smirked and walked off.
Boom.
The heavy door slammed shut. Qin Chuan was alone.
As he struggled to rise, a flood of fragmented memories rushed into his mind.
"Ah!" He groaned from the stabbing pain in his skull, clutching his head.
Moments later, the pain faded. Images formed clearly in his mind.
He collapsed back onto the cold floor, stunned.
"No way... I actually transmigrated? Into the world of pirates?" He muttered repeatedly, disbelieving.
It was true. Qin Chuan had crossed into the world of One Piece—but not as a powerful figure. He had become a nameless pirate.
Worse still, this pirate had just been captured by the Marines and thrown into the deep-sea prison of Impel Down, a place infamous for its cruelty and impossibility of escape.
The prison was crawling with monstrous jailers, surveillance Den Den Mushi, and heavily guarded by giant sea kings outside. Impel Down was known as an iron fortress—no one escaped except the legendary Golden Lion Shiki.
"Damn it, transmigrating into a weakling is bad enough. Can't I at least get a system?" Qin Chuan cursed under his breath.
As if answering his plea, a voice chimed in.
"Ding. Naruto Character Possession System interface successfully initialized. Congratulations on activating the system and its internal shop. A beginner's gift pack has been issued. Please open your backpack to check it."
"It's real... It actually came!" Qin Chuan's eyes lit up as he opened the system interface with a thought.
A panel appeared in his mind:
Host: Qin Chuan
Possessable Characters: None
Possession Uses Remaining: 0
Reputation Points: 0
What the hell? A Naruto system?
He stared at the screen in disbelief. Then he remembered the novice gift pack and quickly accessed it through his thoughts.
"Ding. Beginner gift pack opened. You have obtained the Naruto character card: Might Guy. You have also received 10 uses of this card."
"Might Guy? Isn't he the strongest taijutsu user in Naruto? Even Madara called him the strongest!"
His panel refreshed:
Host: Qin Chuan
Possessable Characters: Might Guy
Possession Uses Remaining: 10
Reputation Points: 0
Now Qin Chuan understood. The system allowed him to channel Naruto characters. When possessed, he would gain all of their ninjutsu and taijutsu abilities.
To use a character, he needed their character card and available usage times—both were essential.
But he still didn't know how to get more cards or usage.
He recalled the system had mentioned a shop. With a thought, he opened it.
Rows of character cards appeared before his eyes.
Sage of Six Paths – Exchange: 1 billion reputation
Immortal Mode Uzumaki Naruto – 100 million reputation
Uchiha Madara – 80 reputation
Hashirama Senju – 50 reputation
Uchiha Itachi – 10 reputation
Possession Use (1 hour) – 1000 reputation
The shop listed nearly all powerful ninja from Naruto, each with different reputation requirements.
The Sage of Six Paths needed a billion reputation points. Even a single possession use cost a thousand.
He looked at his reputation column again—still zero. He shook his head and sighed.
Then he noticed a description on the shop interface: "Defeat opponents to gain reputation. The stronger the opponent, the more points earned."
Now everything made sense.
To earn reputation, Qin Chuan had to fight. He had to win. Until then, he only had 10 one-hour uses of Might Guy.
After that, he would revert to being just an ordinary prisoner again.
Thankfully, Might Guy's strength—especially with the Eight Gates—was overwhelming. As long as Qin Chuan didn't face an Admiral or one of the Four Emperors, he was confident he could win any fight within that hour.
