Lo Ye had been in this strange world for only a year, yet the chaos of the seas already felt hauntingly familiar. Sitting alone on the deck of a pirate ship, the wind whipping his coat, he found a moment of calculated solitude. He flicked his fingers, summoning a small, perfectly controlled flame—a flicker of golden energy born from the legendaryFive Elements Power of Wushan. Lighting his imported cigarette with it, he exhaled slowly, the smoke dissolving into the turbulent maritime air.
A year ago, he was a regular man on Earth, engrossed in a Chinese animation about elemental mastery. The next blink, he woke up here: 42 years before the Pirate King,dropped into an era of primordial violence where the legendary Rocks D. Xebec reigned supreme. Survival was the only law, and for a transmigrator, that meant gaining strength faster than fate could catch him.
He opened his personal Attribute Panel, a system bound to his soul:
$$Host: Lo Ye$$
Wushan Fire Power – Beginner – Mastery: 18.2% (Active)
Wushan Water, Earth, Metal, Wood – Locked
Only the Fire Power was active. The system demanded extreme, high-stakes combat to unlock the remaining four elements. Lo Ye considered the grim reality, then smirked. Perfect. In this world, finding a deadly battle was easier than finding a clean shirt.
Three months ago, his path crossed with Rocks. The pirate captain, infamous for his cruelty, watched Lo Ye dismantle a 50-million-bounty pirate captain, leaving nothing but ashes and a perfectly preserved ledger. Rocks didn't ask; he commanded. From that day, a new, uniquely tailored soldier joined the crew.
Lo Ye's uniform was his defiance: a spotless white suit and black gloves. His clothing remained untouched, uncreased, and unstained, no matter the volume of blood or grime he waded through. He moved through the chaos of the Rocks crew like a pristine ghost. They soon learned his cardinal rule and gave him his fearsome epithet.
He became known as The Suit Thug.
He was a gentleman outside combat—polite, disciplined, and refined. But once he stepped into the fight, he was a monster—efficient, terrifying, and merciless.
The whispers began instantly among the monsters of the crew: this new intern was a contradiction, and the sea would soon learn the meaning of his terrifying elegance.
