In the 21st century, in an internet café, a young man was sitting at a computer. He was quite handsome. His name was Lynn. He was 19 years old, 1.78 meters tall, in good health, male, interested in girls—and an orphan!
He had just finished watching the anime One Piece. Zoro had used his ultimate move to slash Kaido with a sword—it was so cool. And Straw Hat Luffy? That guy was practically cheating. Surrounded by that overpowering aura of Haki!
Lynn was in a good mood and decided to play a few games of League of Legends to celebrate.
Soon, Lynn locked in mid-lane Garen and typed into the chat: "Brothers, lie down. My Garen is a master of skills!"
After typing that, Lynn proudly lit a cigarette, waved away the smoke cloud in front of him, glanced at the screen, casually smoothed his hair, and exclaimed, "So handsome!"
He was having a great time spinning his character around when he suddenly noticed that three players on the enemy team were ignoring his Garen. The minions hadn't even spawned yet, and they were already tearing down their own defense towers?
Lynn couldn't help getting furious. "How dare you! Do you think my Great Garen is just a statue?"
So he unleashed his hand speed—faster than most people his age should even have—and quickly pressed E. Spinning, spinning...
"Triple kill…"
"Hahaha…" Lynn was so excited he couldn't help muttering, "A triple kill? He's really handsome and has great skills…"
After returning to base, Lynn proudly took a drag of his cigarette, then bought two Doran's Blades and five health potions from the shop.
"When you go out to Sandoran, there are vegetables everywhere!"
At that moment, thunder rumbled unusually loud outside, and Lynn, who was playing games in the internet café, suddenly lost consciousness...
...
A young man was sitting on a toilet lid in a restroom. He looked fresh and youthful. It was Lynn—the same one from before. After waking up, he felt utterly confused. Wasn't he just gaming at the internet café? Did he black out?
What was going on?
"Ding. Host consciousness has been restored. Binding to the Flirty System..."
Lynn was certain that voice had come from inside his mind. A system?
He was familiar with this kind of situation. He'd read plenty of time-travel novels. So… was he the protagonist now?
Lynn was so shocked he blurted out, "Wuhu! Let's go!"
"Ding. Flirty System successfully bound. Congratulations, Host, on arriving in the world of the anime One Piece. It is currently the year 1519 in the Sea Circle Calendar, one year before the protagonist of this world, Monkey D. Luffy, sets out to sea. Current location: Sabaody Archipelago."
"Ding. Novice gift pack is being distributed... Gift pack has been delivered to your space backpack. The Host can access it with their consciousness."
Following the system's announcements, Lynn was now certain of his fate. Suppressing his excitement, he quickly communicated with his mind: "System, you're so user-friendly. I want to give you five stars. But why are you called the Flirty System? Isn't 'flirtatious' used to describe beautiful women? Remember, you're just a system—not some gorgeous girl!"
Flirty System: "Host, this system is called the Flirty System. I reject your question."
Everything now looked adorable in Lynn's eyes. He smiled and said, "You've got personality. I like that. Open the novice gift pack already!"
Inside the space backpack were a devil fruit, a sword, and a pill!!
The pill was used to improve physical fitness. The devil fruit was called the Space Fruit and had no side effects—meaning it wasn't affected by seastone or seawater.
Lynn shouted in surprise, "Flirty System, I love you so much! Five stars, five stars all the way…"
Without hesitation, he swallowed the pill and then ate the Space Fruit...
Gurgle, grunt...
Lynn froze, full of suspicion. "System, this Space Fruit really is delicious. It's got that fresh fruit fragrance and sweet flavor. But… why do I feel like I just took a laxative?"
Flirty System: "Host has consumed the pill and is currently undergoing detoxification..."
Lynn didn't wait for the full explanation. He immediately opened the toilet lid...
Some time later, Lynn found himself facing a crisis—there was no toilet paper!!
He quickly communicated with the system: "System, can you provide tissues?"
Flirty System: "Host's Flirtatious Coin balance is 0.1. Unable to exchange."
Lynn was dumbfounded. After weighing his options, he reluctantly removed his underwear…
Finally, relief!!
Looking at the underwear now lying in the trash can, Lynn felt a deep pang of regret. "Flirty System, open my personal panel."
He needed to get familiar with the system. What if he embarrassed himself in public?
Wouldn't that just give readers more reason to roast him?
Soon, Lynn's personal information appeared in the form of a panel—visible only to him...
Host: Lynn
Strength: 100
Agility: 10
Stamina: 250
Flirtatious Coin: 0.1
Space Backpack: Sword (Knife)
System store is locked. Host does not meet requirements.
After reviewing his stats, Lynn found that strength and stamina were easy enough to understand. He could now exert 100 kg of force, and his agility meant his top speed was 10 meters per second.
Feeling like the rewards were a bit too stingy, Lynn tried to milk more from the system...
"System, back when I was in school, I remember classmates saying their phone screens shattered from the residual force of Whitebeard's punch during the Marineford War arc. The power scaling in this world is insane. Shouldn't you give me some life-saving skills—or boost my stats?"
Flirty System: "Host, please manage your expectations. This system is for support only. You'll have to rely on yourself for most things."
Lynn sighed. "Alright. Then why isn't there any Haki listed on my panel?"
Flirty System: "Host, without the pill and Space Fruit, you would still be a helpless weakling. Haki is far beyond your reach at this stage. Of course, pills and fruits aren't miracle cures—they won't make you immortal. As for Flirty Coins and stat bonuses, they're earned through your performance in specific events. Exploration is up to you. The host is also welcome to rename the system."
"This is getting interesting. I like it," Lynn said, still keeping a positive attitude. No rewards? Fine. He'd deal with it.
Even though the system hadn't showered him with gifts, Lynn was still satisfied with the current situation.
For example, the Space Fruit's ability. He already understood the basics—it was very similar to Trafalgar Law's Ope-Ope Fruit. He could open a spatial field and freely manipulate objects within it...
However, there were major differences. The Space Fruit had no healing ability. If Lynn cut something with a sword, it was a real cut. The person wouldn't survive.
Before Lynn could explore further, the sound of footsteps outside snapped him out of his thoughts.
Only now did he realize how foolish he'd been—still sitting around in that awful smell no handsome guy should ever experience!
When Lynn opened the bathroom door, he was greeted by a face that deserved to be punched. The man had a bubble over his head and snot running from his nose…
