Pirates: I'll be with the Straw Hat Pirates in my old age

"Where am I?"

"Hey, it hurts so much."

On the soft golden beach, a slightly thin figure slowly climbed up from the ground. Behind him, the waves kept hitting the beach, making a dull and continuous sound.

From time to time, I could hear strange bird calls, intertwined with the whistling sea breeze.

"Didn't I get shot?"

"Hiss, my head hurts, my chest hurts, and my heart hurts."

The figure stood up blankly, moved a few steps slightly, walked to a shade under the trees where the waves could not reach, and then lay down again.

Leaning under the shade of a tree, Tang Ming looked at the endless blue sea in front of him, then looked down at his chest, his eyes full of confusion.

"That's not right. Where does New York have such a coastline?"

"Didn't I work part-time as a security guard at a comic convention? And then, it seemed like I encountered a terrorist attack. Also, I remember that I seemed to have been shot?"

Thinking of this, Tang Ming immediately touched his whole body, but did not find any wounds.

"..."

"call!"

"It's okay, it's okay. It seems I remembered it wrong." After finishing the inspection, Tang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"But where exactly is this?" After making sure that he was fine, Tang Ming began to think about his situation.

"It looks like this place is deserted. Are we going to survive in the wilderness?"

Fortunately, Tang Ming had watched a lot of videos about survival in the wild, so he was not too panicked.

"Oh, I'm convinced too. This guy from the Eagle Sauce family must be a fool. Which good person with a gun would not rob a bank instead of robbing a comic convention?"

As he was talking, the image of the perverted bandit wearing black stockings appeared in his mind, which made Tang Ming so angry that his teeth itched.

I was obviously just playing games in the security office, and he was shot as soon as he came in. What's the point?

Thinking of this, Tang Ming's heart was filled with resentment, to the point that he couldn't help but doubt.

If the robber was still in front of him, would he greet him on the spot: What the hell are you trying to do? Your wife is in there!

"Forget it. Now doesn't seem to be the time to dwell on this. I should think about how to get back."

As he was speaking, suddenly, a dazzling white light lit up from his heart, so bright that Tang Ming couldn't even open his eyes.

what happened?

This sudden and bizarre scene made Tang Ming's brain freeze a little.

After a while, when the white light disappeared, Tang Ming quickly stood up and checked his body again.

But I found that the clothes that once fit me well became loose and baggy, just like a child wearing adult clothes.

"Why have my hands become so much smaller?"

He looked at his hands in disbelief as they became smooth and tender again, and then his eyes unconsciously looked downwards.

As the body becomes smaller, the clothes automatically slide down, revealing that part.

"Fuck, why is it so small!!!"

Seeing this scene, Tang Ming was terrified and felt that his future was bleak.

After packing his clothes while crying and trying to calm himself down, Tang Ming began to think about his physical condition.

"So, I'm smaller now?"

The fear of the unknown filled my heart, and I looked at my hands again in disbelief.

Tang Ming murmured twice: "Young, young...Haha, being young is good, it's like rejuvenating!"

"Ha...haha...I haven't woken up yet either."

Immediately, little Tang Ming fainted without any warning.

The gentle sea breeze gently brushed across Tang Ming's tender skin. After a while, little Tang Ming finally woke up again...

"What on earth is wrong with me?"

Tang Ming's little brain was working rapidly, combining various irrational things, and being familiar with various online novels, he finally came up with an unscientific explanation.

Tang Ming then gave a bitter smile: "It's over, have I traveled through time?"

Although the Eagles are bad enough, it is undeniable that even they will never allow such a cruel terrorist to escape at their doorstep.

It is uncertain whether the hostages can be rescued, but emptying the magazine is certain, as it concerns the face of the Eagle Sauce.

Therefore, I would never be abducted here no matter what.

But now I found myself on this deserted beach, and somehow I had regained my youth.

This made Tang Ming start to doubt the bizarre phenomenon of time travel.

As an elementary school student once said: Remove all the impossibilities, and whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth.

This is Tang Ming’s current situation.

"Oh, let's not think about it for now. Let's first figure out the situation here."

Tang Ming was about to struggle to get up, but the splitting headache made him give up the idea and he lay back on the ground.

Slowly, he began to clear his mind.

The past flashed before my eyes like a kaleidoscope of memories, and everything seemed so real.

Tang Ming, born in the 00s, can be considered as such, after all, he is an orphan and an ordinary student studying abroad in New York.

In the first half of my life, I was supported by the government and kind people, so I could live a decent life. But after I went to college, I had to work on my own.

After studying abroad, due to lack of money, Tang Ming not only had to work as a chef for his foreign roommates to pay the rent, but also had to take on a part-time job to earn a living.

But unfortunately, he was unlucky enough to encounter a terrorist attack and was sent to this strange world by a free "peanut".

Tang Ming was sitting under the shade of a tree, looking at the endless sky. The azure sky and the blue ocean were like two mirrors reflecting each other.

At the end of the horizon, they finally meet each other.

White clouds floated across the sky, just like those on Earth.

I have been traveling for the first half of my life, and it seems that I have never seen a sky like this.

"Well, now that we are here, let's make the best of it."

Tang Ming leaned against the tree roots and looked out at the vast ocean.

I didn’t know how long I lay there until I felt that the pain in my head was gone, then I slowly stood up.

"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The trees are dense in the south and sparse in the north. The top is north, the bottom is south, the left is west, and the right is east. Yes, this side is east."

"Well... the laws of nature should be the same."

After muttering a few words and determining the general direction, Tang Ming slowly walked along the coastline towards the east.

……

"I don't know if I have the same system as other time travelers."

As if Tang Ming's mumbling was heard, a high-tech blue screen suddenly appeared in front of Tang Ming.

"Ding! The tester has successfully arrived at the destination - the Pirate World."

"Now issuing the test system - the King System."

"The system has been issued. Please explore on your own, Tester No. 1."

call out!

Suddenly, a golden flash appeared, and the previous azure screen suddenly disappeared. But then, a semicircular black dome covered Tang Ming.

"Fuck, this is real?!"

Without caring about anything else, Tang Ming, who was stunned for a moment, immediately became excited, and his eyes kept looking at everything around him.

Above the head is a black round dome like a hood, dotted with stars, just like the vast universe.

In front of Tang Ming, three azure screens that were exactly the same as before appeared.

Tang Ming, who is proficient in the King, naturally understood the above content.

The screen is divided into three parts: heroes, equipment, and skins, and it seems to be a store.

However, the equipment column here seems a little different.

"Defense towers, blood pools, you are not the boss, how can you buy the training camp customization function? Where is your bottom line?"

Even though it is still grey and cannot be sold, since it has a clear price tag, it will definitely be unlocked sooner or later.

Tang Ming's fingers kept moving the contents on the screen.

"By the way, is there any artificial intelligence? Please reply and teach me how to use it."

In the black dome, Tang Ming's voice kept echoing, but no echo could be heard.

"Tsk, I thought it was so advanced, but it doesn't even have an artificial intelligence. Even the human king has a little Daji."

After complaining, Tang Ming continued searching. After previewing all the products, he finally found an electronic instruction manual in a corner.

"It still has some conscience."

Tang Ming opened the instruction manual and began to read it word by word.

"Instructions 1: Choose one hero as the main template. The remaining heroes, skins, and equipment need to be purchased by the tester. The purchased items will be integrated into the main hero template as skills or passives."

"Hero purchase currency: Each time you defeat an opponent, you will receive one gold coin. The amount of gold coins depends on the character's strength and rank."

"Ordinary people: Defeat one person to get one gold coin."

"Pirate: bounty amount * 0.01% = gold coins."

“海军：士兵级：（10、50、100）；士官级：（500）；尉官级：（1000）；校官级：（3000、5000、）”

"Brigadier General: 2; Major General: 5; Lieutenant General: 8; General: 10;"

"Marshal: 20."

"Fuck, this is really the world of pirates!"

It was not until this moment that Tang Ming was finally sure that he had really arrived in another world, and immediately began to recall everything about the pirate world in his mind.

Although Tang Ming had watched One Piece before, he had only watched a little bit of it. After all, he had to work part-time and had no time to watch the show, so he didn't know much about it. He only knew about Luffy's general journey at sea.

However, Tang Ming knew that this was a magical world. The mysterious red soil continent divided the ocean, and the doldrums crisscrossed the red soil continent, forming a circular waterway.

Great treasures are hidden inside, and fame, strength, and dreams continue to converge here, ultimately making this waterway the most exciting place on the ocean.

After thinking for a while, Tang Ming looked at the system again.

"Hiss, why do I feel like the navy only cares about rank?"

"So, if you defeat those guys who are just seeking fame, you can get corresponding gold coins, but if you defeat a super boss like Garp, you will only get 8?"

"This, the effort is not proportional to the investment." Yun Yi was full of surprise.

"By the way, there seems to be this kind of guy among pirates, such as Buggy, the Four Emperors. If I defeat him, won't I be rich?"

"I don't know what time it is, or whether Luffy has gone out to sea, but with my physical condition, I'd probably treat it like a child."

"Alas, it seems impossible to get into the protagonist group."

The azure electronic screen reflected Tang Ming's thin body, estimated to be about 1 meters tall.

In this world of pirates where heights are terrifying, the small ones are as small as bean sprouts.

Tang Ming laughed at himself and didn't think about it any more.
