Chapter 1
Sea Circle Calendar 1521 – Mary Geoise, the Holy Land
"Tsk tsk tsk, so that's the idiot who spent 100 billion berries to buy an entire kingdom?" "What a talent… more like a complete moron!" "You guys haven't heard the best part—he actually plans to go be emperor in some lowly commoner country!" "Eh? Doesn't that count as trea—" "Shhh! Keep your voice down! He's the direct heir of the Corculade Family!"
A crowd of bubble-helmeted Celestial Dragons gossiped loudly as they watched Kam direct his moving crew.
Inside the palace: "Young Master, are we really moving?" Anna couldn't help asking. She truly didn't understand why her Young Master, a glorious Celestial Dragon that he was, would want to move to some tiny country and become its king!
"We're moving! Definitely moving!!" Kam answered firmly, inwardly screaming: If I don't run now, I'm dead!
He was a transmigrator—unfortunately, the most miserable kind.
Other One Piece transmigrators either arrived decades before the Summit War and became drinking buddies with Whitebeard, or showed off during the war by one-shotting Coby. Even the worst ones at least got to stage a Shawshank Redemption in Impel Down.
But him? Kam? Zero combat power, no talent, just a pretty face—a complete waste of a Celestial Dragon. And the absolute worst part: he arrived just one year after the Summit War ended!
He hadn't even had time to enjoy the perks!
In less than a year, Wang Luffy would set sail again. According to the manga timeline, the Celestial Dragons' reign would soon collapse completely!
Once that happened, a powerless Celestial Dragon like him would 100% be torn apart by the enraged masses.
Why was he so sure? Because even little Doflamingo knew it when he was a kid.
"For the sake of my little life, isn't it better to use my current power and money to buy a kingdom and become its emperor while I still can?!"
Kam sighed emotionally.
He figured that if he became a wise and beloved king, he'd have popular support. Even if the Celestial Dragons fell later, the people probably wouldn't vent their anger on him!
"Sigh~ Although the status-wise it's a huge downgrade from Celestial Dragon… I can still have a harem of three thousand beauties and work hard at 'plowing the fields'. Life would still be sweet, right?"
Kam rubbed his temples, chuckling dryly as he started worrying about how to actually become a good king.
[Ding!]
[Keyword "plowing the fields" detected — Activating "The More Children, The More Blessings" System. Please, Host, spread your seed far and wide to revive the Celestial Dragon bloodline!]
[0.01%]
[100%]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You received the Newbie Gift Pack: Beginner-level Armament Haki Mastery!]
Kam froze as the mechanical voice that suddenly rang in his head.
So familiar… way too familiar!!
"System!!"
[Present!]
"WAAAAAHHH— I actually have a system!!!"
Kam burst into tears, snot and waterworks spraying like a broken fire hydrant. All the pressure and resentment vanished in an instant!
Being a Celestial Dragon is the best! Money? Check. Power? Check. Women? Delivered on a silver platter! You literally just lie there and enjoy life!
If given the choice, who wouldn't want to be a Celestial Dragon?!
Ever since transmigrating, Kam had racked his brain every day trying to figure out how to prevent the Celestial Dragons' downfall so he could keep living the dream.
He only decided to run away and become king because he saw zero hope!
And now, right when the moving trucks were loaded—the system finally shows up!!
"Young Master, the luggage is almost ready—"
Anna walked in and misunderstood his crying.
Kam waved his hand dramatically: "No need for luggage!"
"Eh?!"
Anna frowned. No luggage? Even if Young Master is rich, isn't that too wasteful?
But before she could speak, a pair of restless hands opened the car door and flipped up her skirt.
"Kya—!"
Anna squealed, face instantly red: "Y-Young Master… didn't you say we were moving!?"
Even if you're in a hurry, this is too urgent! It's still broad daylight!
"No more moving! I'm going to be the ultimate tyra— I mean!" "I'm staying a Celestial Dragon forever!"
Kam was ecstatic inside. Now that he had a system, why the hell would he run? Just kill Wang Luffy and he could keep lying flat for life!
…
Three minutes and one second later.
Kam wanted to cry again—this time for real.
Not only was his body trash-tier, even his stamina down there was garbage. Beginner Armament Haki didn't help at all…
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! First blood achieved: +100 EXP]
[Achievement Unlocked: Pioneer. Reward: Beginner Observation Haki]
"It's fine… I have a system! I'll only get stronger with every battle!"
Kam clenched his fist, trying to cheer himself up. Surely a proper system would give him a Viagra pill or something later, right?
[Ding! Detecting Host is excessively deficient… Searching for new Host…]
[Ding! Starting countdown to erase original Host]
[Time remaining: 3 minutes]
"WHAT THE F— SYSTEM, DON'T PLAY WITH ME!!"
The moment he heard that, Kam panicked!
He thought it was a cruel joke, but the soul-tearing pain and the feeling of being erased told him it was very real.
"System noooo don't do this!" "I'm not weak! I'm not weak! I can keep going!!"
Terrified, Kam grabbed Anna again like a man possessed.
"See, system?! I'm super strong!"
He roared desperately, but… cooldown hadn't finished. He literally couldn't fire the ultimate move again.
"WAAAAAHHH I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!"
No matter how much he screamed, the death timer kept ticking coldly…
[30 seconds left] [29] [28]
"It's over…"
Kam squeezed his eyes shut.
At this moment, he felt like the most unlucky transmigrator in history.
He'd only been happy for a few minutes, and now he was going to die because the original body couldn't last?!
Please, that's the original owner's fault, not mine!
[3] [2] [1] [Initiating erasure—wait…] […] […]
System: …
Half a minute later.
Kam: …
He cautiously opened his eyes.
Nothing happened?!
Not only was he alive, all the pain had vanished too!
He looked down—Anna was staring at him in complete bewilderment.
"I'm… still in Mary Geoise?" "I'm not dead?"
Before he could process, the slightly speechless mechanical voice returned.
[Ding! No individual found in Mary Geoise capable of lasting over 3 minutes]
[Ding! Re-binding with original Host confirmed]
[Ding! Please choose whether to accept the correction mission]
[Accept and complete → permanent binding | Fail → unbind and erase]
[Refuse → system unbinds voluntarily, no erasure]
"Hah?"
A mission panel popped up in front of him.
[Mission: Marry and Bed the Legal Loli] (Author's frantic note: IT'S LEGAL I SWEAR! Sugar is 21–22 at this point in the timeline, Mansherry is 24–25! New Civil Code says women can marry at 20+, totally fine!! Please stop reporting me!!)
Kam: "Hah???"
