Link was a not-so-famous content creator on Blue Star who dabbled in the anime community.
He grew up in an orphanage, with no ties or burdens.
He usually earned a little extra money by fulfilling commissions from fans and second-generation rich kids who also frequented the anime community.
His last commission was from a big shot suffering from advanced chuunibyou.
This big shot was a seasoned anime fan with wild and imaginative ideas.
He was very dissatisfied with the current progress of One Piece, and after reading too many fanfictions, he actually fantasized:
What kind of waves would he cause if he, as the protagonist, brought the magical tools/items from Doraemon, which he watched as a child, to the world of One Piece.
With this idea, and trembling with excitement, the big shot contacted Link, asking him to help organize Doraemon's tools/items so that he could be prepared for which tool/item to use at which plot point... Well, Link didn't understand the big shot's world but still showed respect. Of course, the main reason was, why was he called a big shot?
The remuneration he offered was simply too good to pass up.
So, Link was determined to be friends with this big shot, and he worked overtime to organize the tools/items from the Doraemon world.
Just as he finished organizing, a white light suddenly shone from his computer, completely enveloping him.
He lost consciousness because of it, until now, when he reopened his eyes.
"Was I too busy with work these past two days? Did I unconsciously fall asleep?"
The scene in Link's eyes gradually became clear, and then he suddenly froze.
"It seems I really was too tired..."
He murmured to himself, "I'm still in a dream, not awake yet."
Look what I see?
That distinctly recognizable young version of the fifth emperor, and a pink-haired, short, pudgy coward whose art style hadn't changed yet.
Hmm, how could I possibly see Luffy and Koby? I must still be dreaming and not awake.
Link thought this and closed his eyes again.
"Huh?!"
The question marks on Luffy's forehead multiplied.
He turned his head to look at Koby, "Is he like me, so hungry that he fainted?"
"Is there any meat? Give him some to fill his stomach... Slurp!"
Koby: "..."
Is it for him to fill his stomach? When you're talking, can you please wipe the drool from your mouth first?
Koby looked at Luffy in front of him, then at Link, who had his eyes closed but his eyebrows were still twitching, only feeling that the events of today were truly beyond his expectations.
Three minutes later, inside a warehouse on the ship.
"Finally, food!"
The straw hat boy Luffy devoured a whole box of fruit.
The coward Koby rubbed his clothes with both hands, appearing very uneasy.
And Link looked at this scene, his eyes slightly dazed.
"I actually, really transmigrated?!"
He could now basically conclude that this was not a dream, but that he had truly come to the world of One Piece!
"This is ridiculous..."
Link scratched his hair in frustration, "If anyone should transmigrate, it should be that big shot, why me, a mere tool?!"
"Could it be that I, this tool, am supposed to come to this world of One Piece first, to scout ahead for the big shot, to see how these tools/items work in One Piece?"
In Link's mind, a round, white, crescent-shaped pocket suddenly appeared.
That was something that surfaced in his mind after he realized he had truly transmigrated.
It was also his golden finger in this world!
The "Item Encyclopedia" or "Item Compendium" that he had previously organized!
That is, the fourth-dimensional pocket from the world of Doraemon!
All the magical tools/items Link organized are inside this fourth-dimensional pocket.
"Over 1,300 types of tools/items..."
Feeling the information coming from his mind, Link couldn't help but take a slight breath.
It wasn't that no one had ever compiled the tools/items from the world of Doraemon; even Baidu Baike had entries.
But these were all incomplete, as Doraemon has thousands of episodes.
Plus new versions, remakes, etc... the tools/items are truly diverse.
Otherwise, the big shot wouldn't have commissioned Link to re-organize these tools/items and create a complete version.
In fact, even Link himself wouldn't dare to say that the tools/items he compiled were absolutely complete.
But he could say that it was definitely the most comprehensive current collection.
A full 1,300-plus types.
"But the key is, I can't just take them all out and use them..."
Link scratched his head.
According to the information from the fourth-dimensional pocket, he could only randomly draw one tool/item per day.
With over 1,300 types of tools/items, drawing one a day would take about four years.
And that doesn't even rule out the possibility of drawing the same tool/item multiple times.
However, thinking about it carefully, the timeline of the Pirate King.
From Luffy setting sail to becoming the fifth emperor, it's roughly three years, no more, no less.
The first half of the Grand Line took half a year, then two years of training, and the voyage in the New World took about two or three months.
Hmm, in between, he could draw at least eight or nine hundred tools/items, which would be completely sufficient, even more than enough.
"If I could draw BUG-level tools/items like the 'Wish-Granting Notebook,' 'Devil's Passport,' 'Dictator Button,' and 'If Telephone Booth'—those causality-altering ones..." Link's eyes were filled with longing.
Beside him, Luffy had also devoured an entire box of fruit.
"That was good, that was good."
He patted his stomach, feeling quite satisfied.
"Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
Only then did he remember that there were other people in the room besides himself.
