An island in the East Blue.
There was a man sitting on a rock in the woods. Tanned skin color, snow-white hair, golden eyes. Gold earrings in his ears.
He was dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, wearing a haori with the number two on it, with an expensive golden scarf wrapped around his neck. On his lap rested a katana, it had an orange scabbard and a purple ribbon near the hilt, the hilt of his sword also had an orange hue, but darker.
His eyes were closed, and it looked like he was either sleeping or meditating.
Complete calmness, a state of serenity. But at one moment, from behind the forest was heard growling, and in his direction jumped a huge white tiger, the size of a jim from the modern world.
-Wshuh-
The man didn't even open his eyes, his sword wasn't unsheathed from its scabbard, but the tiger was cut into small pieces.
This man's name is Shihoin Chika.
In his original world, he was the head of one of the five noble clans, the captain of the second squad of Gotei 13. And most importantly a Shinigami. At the moment of his death, he closed his eyes, and when he thought he wouldn't open them again, he found himself in this mysterious place. He was confused at first, but it didn't last very long, his intelligence and intuition was unquestionable even among the high nobles and captains of Gotei in his past life. He was able to quickly analyze the setting and realize that this was not his world. Further scouting the setting, all his powers were with him. Reiatsu was also present. That avoided a lot of problems.
He found a village on the island where he was able to gather information about the world.
A world unlike his past...
A world where he could have a little more fun, he didn't know if he was given a second chance by the King of Souls or some other being, it didn't matter to him. At first he just wanted to live out his new opportunity peacefully, but then he came across a newspaper that revealed an event that turned the life of this world upside down. The execution of the Pirate King. Roger's Gold D.
He became curious and by asking the villagers he learned about the World Government, the Navy, the Pirates.
Everything here was different from what it was in his world, and the most important difference was that in his world he was on the verishene of the food chain, and here he was not. It added intrigue, and it brought out a forgotten bloodlust, a greed in him. Getting to the top here, wasn't that an interesting goal?
He already had power, the power of a captain, but how much it could compete with the strongest of this world was another matter, and that was intriguing.

I opened my eyes, meditation is always helpful. It was time to get ready for the village.
Arriving in the village I walked into the bar, half of the bar was filled with people. All were locals, some were eating, others were drinking, talking gossip and news, listening, I got nothing useful out of their conversation, sitting down at the bar, I said I would be served sake.
Sake was my favorite drink in my previous life, and this habit is still with me here.
I sit down and drink it quietly. There was complete calm, people were eating, drinking, laughing and talking, but as always, there are troublemakers.
A group of people burst into the bar, shouting, swearing and waving swords, it is clear at once that they are pirates.
-Hey, Bartender, give us all your wine, we've had a good day today, we've robbed a merchant ship.
The pirates of Yasa are feasting here tonight.
Noise, that's the only thing that flashed through my mind, a bunch of trash gathering, interrupting such a good day.
The bartender frantically ran to the back room for all the wine he had. The pirates were getting rowdy, harassing the locals. Just flies, I thought as I continued to drink.
Not a minute later the bartender returned with the wine, and immediately there was a buzz of celebration, as if they had won the war, but only a robbery of a merchant ship.
It wasn't in me to think about right and justice, I was a cold-blooded killer by nature, and I still am. Having lived so many years, I went through a lot of battles not for life but for death, I was the head of one of the most noble clans, intrigue, framing, murder, cynicism, it was all in my blood and bones, so it is not for me to judge them, and in this world there are already those who do it. So far I can still remain completely indifferent to everything, but that ends when I'm touched, which is what one of the pirates did.
-Hey, boy, you got a pretty expensive scarf, you want to give it to me?
(Even though I look like a 20-year-old, calling me a boy is too weird.)
His hand was resting on my shoulder, and just as calmly in the moment his arm was separated from his body.
-Vshuh-
The pirate's hand just fell to the ground, blood dripped, that smell hit my nose, and deep inside me the beast woke up.
The pirate's scream was heard, the bar was in a frenzy. I said calmly.
- Boy, you better be careful with your hands, or you'll lose the other one.
-You, you bastard, boys, kill this scumbag. -You, you bastard.
All the pirates rushed at me at once. The first one swung his saber at me, but the glass I was drinking from went straight to his head.
Bang.
The glass shattered, shards hit his eyes, and he fell to his knees screaming.
Spokely I stand up, take a step and find myself behind the two pirates, with a quick jerk I snatch my katana, one straight blow, two heads fly into the air, another pirate comes from the right side, with a quick kick of my foot, and his head is also separated from his body.
Shunpo and a regular kick, enough to kill them.
Not even two minutes later, they're all dead. I approach the first pirate whose arm I cut off and ask.
-What's your name?
Barely lifting his head, he says.
-"I am Yasu.
-Are you the captain of this gang? -Yes, I am. Tell me where your ship is.
-You won't kill me if I tell you?
- Of course not, so tell me where your ship is.
I ask you with a smile.
-It's on the north shore. Will you let me go?
- Of course I will!
Boom, as soon as my last word was said, his head dropped.
Calmly taking a pitcher of sake, I leave the bar. Well it's time to start the journey, I think!
