Pirates: Rush to the Peak

Huaniao Island is a small island at the easternmost part of the East China Sea. It is spring-like all year round and is surrounded by trees all year round. Due to its remoteness, it is somewhat isolated from the news.

The hometown of the original owner of Kuro's body was hit by war, so he fled to the sea with his parents.

As a result, they encountered pirates on the way, and in order to save his life, his parents stuffed him into a box and threw him into the sea.

As a result, it floated here. It might be because it was too frightened or hungry. In any case, this body was already lying flat before Kuro took over.

After Kuro took over, his identity information and experience suddenly flooded into his brain, and then he fainted.

Later it was salvaged by residents on the island who were fishing.

When he woke up, Kuro found himself on a wooden bed. He sat up and saw an old man smoking a pipe staring at him.

"Hey kid, what's your name?"

The old man asked while smoking

"My name is Reed D. Craw"

"Kuro, that's a nice name, but how come you're floating in a big box?"

"I went out to sea with my parents and encountered pirates. In order to save me from being killed, they put me in a box and threw me into the sea to escape."

Kuro said with a trembling voice.

"Did you become an orphan after encountering pirates?"

When the old man heard this, his face became silent. He put down his pipe, stood up, turned his back and walked towards the door.

When they were almost at the door, the old man turned to Kuro and said

"There is food on the table. You must be hungry. Wash the dishes after you finish eating. You can stay here with me for now."

"Thank you, Grandpa," Kuro said gratefully.

The old man didn't reply and pushed the door open.

Craw got down from the table and ate the food ravenously.

There was no way out. He was too hungry. Kuro had previously suspected that his predecessor had died of fright, but after taking over, he felt that he had died of starvation.

After eating, Kuro lay on the bed, silently chanting "System, golden finger, cheat!"

I thought I could have the same system golden finger as most of the time travelers, but I found out that I really didn't have it.

"Hey, it seems that destiny is not in my hands!"

"But since I've been watching One Piece for so many years, I know what good things there are to be found, hahahaha."

"But we have to first determine what year this is. If Luffy isn't born yet, that's nonsense. I have to wait another 18 years."

Thinking of this, Kuro jumped out of bed, opened the door and walked out.

There was a cliff not far from the door. The old man sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, smoking a cigarette and looking at the sky.

Kuro walked over.

Hearing the voice behind him, the old man turned around and asked, "Are you full?"

"I'm full, grandpa. Thank you for saving me."

"I didn't save you. You were picked up by a fishing boat in the village. They thought it was treasure. But when they opened it, they found out it was a child, so they sent you to me."

The old man turned his head and said indifferently

"So, what are your plans now?"

"I don't know what to do now. Two countries are fighting in my hometown. My parents took me on a boat to escape but we encountered pirates. I don't know where to go now."

Kuro said as he walked over to the old man and sat down.

"If you have nowhere to go, stay here. But you have to work hard for food, kid."

The old man said casually

"Really? Thank you so much, I will try my best to find food!"

Kuro looked at the old man with a smile, and then followed the old man to go fishing every day.

After some time, Kuro sorted out the timeline.

It is now 1508 in the Sea Calendar. Luffy will probably go to sea in 1520, so he still has twelve years to develop.

"Ah! Now that we've come to this world, how can we not go and have some fun on the sea? Hahaha!"

With a goal in mind, Kuro spent most of his time exercising himself besides fishing. He started by running around the island and later gradually added weight training.

When Kuro was training, the old man was smoking his pipe beside him. Once, when Kuro finished weight training, the old man came over.

"Hey kid, why do you exercise so much every day?"

"I want strength. I want the strength to not be threatened by others. I want the strength to save myself when I encounter danger. I don't want the tragedy of my parents to happen again."

After listening to this, the old man said nothing, walked into the house, and came out after a while with an ordinary navy knife in his hand.

The old man held the knife in one hand and walked to the shore. A black airflow extended from his arm to the blade.

"Ichidao Style: Tiger Roar"

He swung his sword back with his backhand, and the sword energy formed a tiger with bared fangs and claws, roaring and flying towards a sea king in the distance.

boom!

That sea king exploded

"Oh oh oh oh oh! Armed color swordsman!"

Kuro's eyes were shining with gold. He thought that the old man was just an ordinary fisherman, but he didn't expect that he was actually a swordsman!

The old man put away his sword and put away his Armament Haki and said to Kuro

"Do you want to learn? If you do, start from today and swing this knife a thousand times every day."

"I want to! I won't be lazy!"

Kuro took the knife and stood on the edge of the cliff, swinging it. The old man watched from the side, and from time to time he scolded Kuro for his knife-swinging posture.

In this way, spring went and autumn came, and ten years passed.

On a small island in the East China Sea, a shirtless boy with short white hair was waving a long knife.

"9998"

"9999"

""

"Phew, goal accomplished"

Kuro put down the knife in his hand, picked up the towel beside him and wiped the sweat off his body.

I have been here for ten years. I have mastered the Armament Haki to the point of hardening, the Observation Haki to the point of being able to dodge attacks, and my swordsmanship has reached the level of a swordsman a few days ago.

In terms of physical skills, I originally thought that the old man was a retired navy officer who could teach me the Six Styles of the Navy. However, he said that he used to be a pirate and came here to live in seclusion when he was old.

The navy-issue knife given to me was just a trophy obtained at some unknown time.

Fortunately, the old man later taught me a set of physical techniques that he developed himself.

The old man who watched Kuro train every day said that Kuro had a high talent for physical skills and a special physique.

But Kuro himself didn't feel anything special. He just had a strong recovery ability. When the training just started, he was tired like a dead dog.

But as long as you eat well and sleep well, you will be full of energy the next day.

So over the years, both his strength and physical condition can be described as earth-shaking.

Now that I am strong enough to survive in the new world, it is time to prepare to go out to sea.

Craw picked up his clothes, put them on, jumped into his boat, and rowed towards his home.

I jumped off the boat, went ashore and ran towards his house. I saw the old man smoking on the shore from a distance.

"Grandpa, I'm back"

"Oh, have you finished today's training?"

"Well, Grandpa, I'm ready to go out to sea."

The old man was startled when he heard this, put down his pipe and looked at Kuro

"Are you ready?"

"Well, I have prepared food and a boat that should be able to support me to sail to Rogue Town. Once I get there, I plan to rob a pirate ship and use it first."

The old man laughed out loud when he heard it.

"Hahaha, a man of the sea must sail far away, what reason is there to stop him! Go Kuro, go and have some fun on the sea! Hahahaha"

Kuro's eyes were filled with tears. He knelt on his knees, supported himself with his hands, and knocked his head on the ground.

"Grandpa, thank you for taking care of me for so many years. If it weren't for you, I would have starved to death in that wooden box. I will never forget your kindness to me."

"Wait for me, Grandpa. I will definitely make a name for myself on this sea!!!"

"Hahaha, go ahead, you bastard. I'm waiting for that day to come!"

Kuro bowed his head again, stood up, looked at the old man, turned and walked towards the seaside where he parked his boat.

I jumped on the boat and looked back at the island where I had lived for ten years.

"One Piece! I'm fucking here!"
