Sea Circle Calendar May 5, 1521.
East Blue, Logue town.
The underground warehouse inside the Barto Club Underworld Bar.
"Hey~! I'm sorry, but I really want this Devil Fruit!"
A young man with black hair reaching the middle of his back, slightly wavy and curly at its ends, was covered with blood. He had asian features with a slightly handsome face, but his expression made him look like a gangster.
At this moment, he had a blood-stained knife in his right hand, and a green flat fruit with a pattern in his left hand.
His face covered in blood was grinning crazily, and the scar on the corner of his eye gave him a slightly evil look.
He glanced at the gangster lying in a pool of blood, and decisively took a bite of the Paramecia Barrier Fruit!
While he is known as the strategist of the Barto Club gangster group, you shouldn't look down on his strength.
···
This young man's name is Dai Die, a Chinese American from Earth. It was because of this name and his tall stature of 2 meters that he got the nickname "Big Daddy" when he was in school, and coupled with his delinquent looks he took advantage of many classmates and friends!
However, it is impossible to live like that in a normal society, so he decided to study hard and go to college like a normal person instead of following the criminal path.
As a college student, he had good food and a place to sleep. He had no worries about food and clothing. His parents loved him, he had brothers and friends, and most importantly, he was chased by girls.
Such a comfortable life is full of satisfaction, so how could he transmigrate for no reason?
He remembered that he seemed to have stayed up late to watch the latest dozen or so episodes of One Piece on Friday night, fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly appeared in this world when he woke up!
What the hell, and he was actually still wearing pajamas and wore them directly to the familiar and famous Execution Square in Loguetown.
What troubled him the most is that he actually transmigrated with absolutely no cheats, not even a basic language pack!
Dai Die, who only knew English and a bit of Chinese from his father did not understand the language of One Piece, he only knew some basic Japanese words.
In the following days, he tried hard to determine the timeline and tried asking the Marines for help, hoping to meet the kind-hearted natural idiot Tashigi, or the upright Smoker.
But before he could have a chance to meet these two people, he was beaten up and roughly kicked out by the soldiers stationed at the entrance of the Marine branch because they couldn't understand the language he was talking and thought he was messing with them.
Later, because he was really hungry, he had no choice but to grab something to eat, but he was beaten by the strong owner of the stall!
Sure enough, as one of the closest islands to the Grand Line in East Blue, anyone who can open a shop in this pirate-frequented Loguetown would have a hard time without some strength.
In order to survive, he had no choice but to pick up garbage to eat in the garbage dump of Loguetown. As a result, he was bullied by beggars and beaten by gangsters.
He really didn't expect that a young man like him, who was 2 meters tall, could not even defeat two beggars in this world of pirates!
This miserable life, even worse than that of a street dog, made him want to commit suicide many times and end this failed and humiliating transmigration.
But thinking about the resentment of being bullied by gangsters and beggars, coupled with his familiarity with the plots and various beauties and strong men in this world, he was extremely unwilling to accept it!
He silently hid all his resentment. He must find an opportunity to rise in this world, and then wantonly vent what he had encountered these days.
In order to learn the language, he lived as a mute for several months. He often took the initiative to work for various businesses in Loguetown, just to get a simple meal.
However, there would always be some unscrupulous businessmen who would not even give him a bite of food, leaving him to do unpaid work in vain.
In this way, a mute who was easy to bully but also worked hard became a little famous in Loguetown.
Later, because of his reputation for hard work and always giving his all, he luckily ended up joining the Barto club, an underworld organization in Loguetown, becoming a peripheral member and finally getting a good chance to earn a living!
In this way, he learned to speak and write the language while understanding the major events and timeline of this world!
Soon, he also had his own nickname and new name in the Barto family, The Mute Basire.
This name was given to him by a red-haired girl named Desire. She actually mixed her name with the leader of their gang, Bartolomeo.
He also felt he needed a new identity in this new life of his, so he did not reject the new name Desire gave him.
About two years ago, when he had just transmigrated for less than two months. At that time, he had not fully learned the language of this world. So he could only follow the gang members of the Barto club to collect protection fees and act as a thug and handyman.
As a result, he saw a young man with a face full of food at the restaurant next to the Execution Square in Loguetown, fighting with the Marines over a meal he didn't pay for.
For the first time, he saw a fierce battle between two Logia Devil fruit users. This was a battle between White Hunter Smoker and Fire Fist Ace!
This 'mute', for the first time, spoke quickly in front of the underworld members of the Barto family, but he spoke in English.
"Holy shit! This is Fire Fist Ace! No! I want to get on his ship, Dark Fruit, here I come!!! I also want to pick up Yamato!"
He shouted excitedly, as if he saw himself stealing the Dark Fruit from under Blackbeard's nose, and then reaching the pinnacle of his wonderful life!
However, fate played another joke on him!
Fire Fist Ace had already visited the execution platform of Roger the Pirate King. At that time, he had eaten a big free meal before starting a war with the Marines, so he had to quickly flee the island.
Seeing Fire Fist Ace's leaving quickly, he suddenly came to his senses and tried his best to chase him to the port.
But seeing the ship getting farther away, he felt so regretful at that moment, cursing himself for being such an idiot and mentally retarded.
He actually missed the opportunity to board Ace's pirate ship. You know how much he longed to board Ace's pirate ship and become a crew member of the Spade Pirates.
In this way, he can rely on his familiarity with the plot to rise step by step!
The moment he saw Fire Fist Ace, he had already planned to follow him into the Grand Line and New World.
After Ace becomes the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, he can also join the Whitebeard Pirates and lurk like Blackbeard.
It's best if he could find a way to transfer to the ship of Division 4 Captain Thatch, find or intercept the Dark Fruit in advance, and then eat it!
Yes, he just wants to steal the Logia Dark Fruit that Blackbeard has been waiting for, and snatch everything that belongs to him.
He even thought about not giving him a chance to see this Dark Fruit, otherwise, he would not be able to bear Blackbeard's anger!
After all, this is someone who can leave three claw marks on red-haired Shanks' face!
However, all these plans were shattered because Ace ran too fast, and he didn't even have time to say a word to him.
After all, the battle between Fire Fist Ace and White Hunter Smoker was too shocking and exaggerated. How could a weakling like him dare to join in the fun?
As a result, Ace slipped away just like that. He left as swiftly as he came and didn't give Dai Die the slightest chance, causing him to miss an opportunity to rise in the world of One Piece!
He thought about immediately rowing a boat to chase Ace, but he was soon dragged away by the gang members of the Barto club.
Because the furious Smoker had already led Marine and began to take out his anger on the pirates in Loguetown, even the gang members had to hide immediately.
This also made him completely miss the opportunity to become Ace's crew member!
