Chapter 1

Baldeggo, the Island of White Clay.

The vast sandstorms that block the sky isolate this place from the world, making it little known that this is the headquarters of the world's most mysterious organization, the Revolutionary Army.

Baldeggo is not just a base; it also has residential areas where the families of the Revolutionary Army and special talents live, as well as orphans adopted from all over the world who undergo basic physical training and ideological education.

On the street, Luo De waited in line and finally got the latest newspaper.

The headline read: "Fire Fist Ace Makes a Name in the New World, May Challenge Whitebeard."

"Ace, Whitebeard..."

Luo De's eyes flickered. After that, there would be the confrontation between Ace and Jinbei, and then Fire Fist Ace would be moved by Whitebeard to become the captain of the second division, right?

It had been three months since he arrived in this world, and once again, he learned about the recent situation from the newspaper, which made him feel a sense of urgency.

It was now late autumn of the year 1520 in the Sea Calendar, and it was only a little over a year before Luffy set sail.

Luo De was originally a medical student who had just finished his internship on Earth. One night, after staying up late to play a game and just finishing the world boss, he closed his eyes for a moment and found himself inexplicably in this place, possessing the body of a sixteen-year-old boy named Luo De.

At first, he was a bit confused and didn't know where he was.

Later, he heard names like "Pirate King Roger" and "Whitebeard" from his neighbors, which confirmed that he had somehow ended up in the world of One Piece.

Moreover, this place was the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, the Island of White Clay, Baldeggo.

Fortunately, his identity as a medical apprentice was a good fit for his expertise.

Luo De gradually gained a foothold in Baldeggo by leveraging his advanced medical knowledge from his time.

As he lost himself in thought, Luo De gradually approached a spacious square.

There, he saw a petite girl standing gracefully.

"Kerla."

Seeing the girl, Luo De quickened his pace and called out, "Here's this week's newspaper."

This girl, Kerla, was responsible for the basic physical training of the orphans adopted by the Revolutionary Army.

She was about nineteen years old, standing at around 160 cm, which made her appear very petite in a world where giants were common. However, her figure still conformed to the world's unscientific standards.

The weight of her assets always gave Luo De the illusion that they might break her slender waist at any moment.

Kerla took the newspaper, smiling as she read it. "Thanks, Luo De."

"Are we practicing swordsmanship today?"

"Yes."

Luo De nodded lightly.

From Luffy's perspective, the world of One Piece is full of passion and sunshine, but from a broader view, it is undoubtedly dark and cruel.

The so-called Age of Pirates is essentially a chaotic era.

Heroes rise and dominate, while the common people, or the weak, can only adapt to the times and endure silently.

Luo De's body had mediocre talent, being naturally weak and less powerful than girls of the same age.

As a穿越者 (穿越者 means "穿越者" in Chinese, which can be translated as "transmigrator" or "穿越者" in English, but in this context, it refers to someone who has been transported to another world), Luo De was naturally very unwilling to accept this.

This is the world of pirates, and just thinking about the mysterious Devil Fruits and the glorious scenes of great swordsmen cutting through mountains with a single strike made his blood boil and his heart race.

How could he remain ordinary in such a world!

Unfortunately.

This body's talent was really average. Even with the enthusiasm and intensity of his high school days, his intense training yielded little results.

At this rate, he would end up as a minor character, easily killed by any pirate with a bounty over 100 million, which left Luo De feeling helpless.

Fortunately.

While watching a one-armed swordsman demonstrate his skills, the sword aura he released awakened something very good in Luo De.

...

Slowly picking up the practice sword, Luo De narrowed his eyes. With a thought, a hazy space appeared before him, visible only to him.

In this void, a simple, ancient book floated.

This was what Luo De had awakened, a book that looked extremely mythological, and it was indeed so.

With another thought, a panel similar to an attribute bar appeared before Luo De.

Level 1: Book of Knowledge (Conditions for Advancing Not Met)

Attribute: Intelligence +1

Talent: Sword Mastery — Sword and Body as One, greatly enhancing sword comprehension!

Energy: 100/100

"What's missing? The energy is already full."

Looking at the attribute bar, Luo De's eyes flickered.

There was no mechanical or electronic voice to explain, and he had been exploring on his own.

The energy came from battles or training.

Starting from zero, after three months of accumulation, Luo De had gathered 100 points of energy. He thought this would lead him to the path of becoming the strongest, capable of defeating the Four Emperors and the Seven Warlords, and even the Admirals and the Five Elders.

However, after the energy was full, an inexplicable condition for advancement appeared.

Luo De instinctively felt that this advancement would give him a true foundation to become a powerful figure.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't found the method to advance, which left him feeling helpless.

However.

Although the conditions for advancement were confusing, the various abilities granted by the Book of Knowledge were very powerful.

The Intelligence +1 attribute initially left Luo De puzzled. Just one point seemed too little.

When he was tested for IQ, he wasn't very high but was still over 100.

Later.

Luo De realized that this attribute increase was similar to the attribute points in the games he used to play.

An increase of one attribute point represented a 1.5 times boost!

This greatly increased Luo De's thinking speed, learning ability, and observational skills.

He could also recall many forgotten pieces of knowledge from his previous life, which greatly improved his medical skills, surpassing many experienced doctors and making him well-known in Baldeggo.

The Sword Mastery talent was even more powerful.

Swordsmanship in the world of pirates is very straightforward, with no fancy techniques. To become a great swordsman, one must practice daily for years, even decades, to glimpse the secrets of swordsmanship.

However, the Sword Mastery talent from the Book of Knowledge completely broke this rule.

In less than three months, Luo De had become a very capable swordsman.

If not for his frail body, his sword skills would be even stronger!

Swish!

The wooden sword cut through the air, drawing a beautiful arc and striking the wooden post with a thud.

Despite using little force and a wooden sword, a deep mark appeared on the post.

"What is the Breath of All Things?"

Entering the state of sword practice, Luo De's mind was completely focused, with nothing but the sword in his thoughts.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Continuous sounds came from the wooden post.

The sword light was like a waterfall, and Luo De's movements were graceful yet precise, combining beauty and power.

Kerla, watching from the side, couldn't help but nod.

"Although his physical attributes are poor, his sword skills are enough to qualify him as a reserve. I'll have him participate in the assessment later."
