Chapter 25: Rising to Fame
You could only say that the "gets lost" halo was truly invincible.
After wandering around the village with Zoro for half an hour, Shane's head was spinning. In the end, they had to ask an uncle for directions to finally find the gate of the Isshin Dojo.
To his surprise, Koshiro ...
Chapter 24: Arriving at Shimotsuki Village
If he's flat, then he needs to be inflated.
Shane exerted his strength, lifted the boat, and carried it back to the sea. Junichi immediately knelt and began to perform artificial respiration on Sanji.
After a long while of work, Sanji's upper body suddenly twitch...
Chapter 23: Red-Leg Zeff
A big head and a thick neck, if not a tycoon, then a cook.
Red-Leg Zeff's neck was indeed thick, but his head was a normal size; he was just emaciated.
Looking at that skeleton-like profile, Shane had to observe for a while before he could vaguely match the man with the face in hi...
Chapter 22: Sanji's Near-Transmigration Experience
So it's worth 600 points?
Shane was a little surprised. It seemed that although Stainless was a minor character who had only appeared a few times in the manga, as an elite Vice Admiral of the Headquarters, the weight of his powerful strength still made his belov...
Chapter 21: A Bountiful Harvest
Late at night.
On a high slope north of Cherry Blossom Island, in a cemetery adjacent to the sea.
Shane, effortlessly carrying Sakuraba Itsuki's body on one shoulder, stepped through the cemetery gate. Junichi followed closely behind, biting his lip in silence.
"Wher...
Chapter 20: The Story Concludes
"You mean I owe you an explanation? I think you have that backward."
Shane sneered. "Shouldn't it be you who owes Junichi an explanation?!"
"Junichi..."
"DON'T SAY MY NAME!!!!"
Junichi's breathing was ragged, his eyes red and swollen, his teeth nearly grinding...
Chapter 19: Why Won't You Let Me Leave in Peace?
"Aaaah!! It's a monster—"
The Carpenter finally snapped out of his shock, screaming as he scrambled backward, all the while commanding his remaining puppets, "Stop it! Kill it! Hurry up and kill it!"
A monster?
Is he talking about me?
It was...
Chapter 18: Without a Sword, What Will You Fight Me With?
Ten fingers, ten puppets.
The people he controlled included nearly all the top figures.
The entire Cherry Blossom Island, along with its proud Seven Great Dojos and kendo tournament, had unknowingly been reduced to tools for "The Carpenter" to make...
Chapter 17: The Terrifying Devil Fruit Power
"Is he coming...?"
White Fox suddenly seemed to sense something and muttered in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Who's coming?
Shane was getting more and more impatient. This guy was being so cryptic. Was he going to fight or not? He'd start talk...
Chapter 16: The Devil Fruit User Appears
It was just after six in the evening.
The stage for the finals was set. In the massive, dedicated tournament dojo, spectators gradually filled the seats on all four sides. Soon, there wasn't an empty seat to be found. A rough count showed at least two thousand people.
...
Chapter 15: The Finals Arrive
At precisely eleven o'clock, Shane and Junichi met the punctual Qilin at the Wisteria Restaurant.
"You must be Junichi, right?" Qilin's face was filled with emotion as he gestured with his hand. "I saw you with the old president when you were little. You definitely don't remember me...
Chapter 14: A Direct Speedrun
"Hey! What are you still doing here?! Hurry up and come with me!"
"What's the rush? I haven't finished watching this match yet."
"No time for that! A monster has appeared in the southwest corner! He's already in his fifth round, and he's defeated all four of his previous oppo...
Chapter 13: I'm a Good Person, Too
"We don't have his specific identity yet. There's no matching data on hand."
The tall, thin swordsman wearing the white fox mask shook his head. "However, a beggar at the pier witnessed him getting off a passing cargo ship the night before last."
"His meeting with the Sa...
Chapter 12: Was That Too Harsh on Him?
In a deserted alley, with only a few pedestrians in sight.
Under a black streetlamp, the two stood several meters apart. They drew their bamboo swords and assumed their opening stances.
"Here I come!"
Junichi shouted, breaking the silence. In an instant, his b...
Chapter 11: Actually, I Also Know a Little Swordsmanship
"For the next few years, I trained in swordsmanship at the Isshin Dojo. Master Koshiro was very good to me, but I could never let go of my dream of one day reviving my own dojo."
"Especially a few months ago, a guest from Cherry Blossom Island came to visi...
Chapter 10: A New Fat Sheep Has Appeared
Clink—Smack!
A coin was flicked into the air by a thumb, then caught securely as it fell. This was repeated over and over again.
Shane strolled leisurely through the streets at dusk, the rhythm of the rising and falling coin gradually synchronizing with his steps...
Chapter 9: Do You Think I'm Stupid?
"How did you grow a dozen centimeters in a week?"
"What kind of martial art makes so much noise every day?"
"Do you think I still have a chance to learn it?"
In the dining hall, Shane was devouring his food like a tornado sweeping through clouds. The plates next ...
Chapter 8: The True Breakthrough
Items purchased from the Trading Market could be placed in or taken out of the inventory at any time, which was incredibly convenient.
Shane first took out the tachi, "Masamune."
He drew the sword from its sheath.
The long, slender blade gleamed with a frosty luster...
Chapter 7: Only Adults Make Choices
After watching the Lord of the Coast depart, Shane continued his climb up the rope ladder.
He reached the top a moment later. Grabbing the railing, before he could even flip over, a dozen arms suddenly reached out for him.
—Someone hooked him under the armpits, anothe...
Chapter 6: The Celestial Dragon's Severed Arm
"Just trust me, Uncle Garter! Fire the cannons first. We need to force its body completely out of the water. I can't aim if it keeps thrashing around like this."
Shane could see Garter hesitating and added another sentence in a deep voice.
Without waiting for ...
Chapter 5: Lord of the Coast?
THUD!
Another dull impact, much louder than the last. The merchant ship shook violently, and a faint, pained screech could be heard mixed in with the noise.
Captain Garter listened intently, then swung his arm decisively.
"Aft starboard, nine o'clock position!"
...
Chapter 4: An Unexpected Incident in the Night
Three days later, on the pier at dawn.
"Hold on, do I really have to take this thing with me?"
Shane weakly held up the Den Den Mushi that had been forcefully shoved into his hands.
"Less nonsense. You'll take it because I said so," Belle-mère said fi...
Chapter 3: Luffy, I'm Coming for Your Straw Hat!
The scent of oranges mixed with sweat swirled in his nostrils. Shane raised his right hand, staring at the calluses on his knuckles.
According to the manual, the essence of the Breathing Fist technique was to "nourish the blood with Qi."
Through a special f...
Chapter 2: The Oppressive Presence of the Arlong Pirates
As expected.
When Nojiko and Nami woke up and couldn't find their beloved possessions, they were both distressed and hurt, crying their little eyes out.
Filled with righteous indignation, Shane joined Belle-mère in cursing the shameless thief. What...
Chapter 1: The Boy of Cocoyasi Village
As autumn deepened, a heavy rain swept over Cocoyasi Village.
"Whoa, why did it suddenly start raining so hard!"
"Shane, big bro, run faster!"
At dusk, a black-haired boy burst through the gate of the orange grove. He carried two large baskets of oranges on a ...
Chapter 86: The Terrifying "Giant" Croc
On the battlefield, Basalt and Cael faced each other. In contrast to Basalt's calm demeanor, Cael was visibly excited.
To be fair, Basalt's three-KO winning streak was truly impressive, and his Drilbur was undeniably strong. If he were to give an honest assessment, Basalt ...
Chapter 85: Three Battles, Three Victories, Three KOs
Basalt smirked. As expected, he and Drilbur were so in sync they were practically one mind. He didn't even need to give the command; Drilbur had already set a trap within its Rock Tomb. It had truly inherited his cunning.
That's my number one fighter, he thou...
Chapter 84: One-Shot All the Way
"Seviper is unable to battle! The winner is... Basalt!"
The referee's voice rang out again, pulling the scattered thoughts of the crowd back into focus.
"Another one-hit KO? Am I seeing things?"
"What the hell! This Drilbur's movement speed is one thing, but how is ...
Chapter 83: The One-Hit KOs Continue
"Marill is unable to battle! The winner is... Basalt!"
As the referee announced the result, the crowd finally snapped out of their stupor.
A one-hit KO! It was actually a one-hit KO!
Though it seemed unbelievable, Warren's Marill had indeed been taken out in a s...
Chapter 82: A Shocking One-Hit KO
At 2:10 PM, Supervisor Sheffield stormed onto the training grounds. He had just received the news that Hoffman was organizing a placement battle for the newly arrived Basalt. He was furious.
I just put the kid in Group D this morning, and this afternoon you're holding a special ...
