**Chapter 1: Transmigration, Barrier Fruit!**
May 5, 1519, in the maritime calendar.
City of Loguetown.
The underground warehouse at Barto's Bar.
"Hey! Boss Bartolomeo, sorry, I want that Devil Fruit!"
A young man with long black hair parted down the middle, his wavy and curly locks covered in blood.
At this moment, he holds a blood-stained watermelon knife in his right hand and a light-green fruit with a spiral pattern in his left.
With his face splattered in blood, he smiled uncontrollably, and a scar at the corner of his eye gave him a sinister look.
He glanced at the gangster lying in a pool of blood and decisively took a bite of the Barrier Fruit.
This young man's name is Indra, from Earth, and he recently ended up in the world of One Piece. He remembered that on a Friday night, after staying up late watching the latest twelve episodes of One Piece, he fell asleep and suddenly woke up in this world!
What the hell, and he was still in his pajamas, going straight to the famous execution plaza in Loguetown.
What distresses Indra the most is that he hasn't received a Transmigration system or gift, and he doesn't even have a basic language bonus!
Indra, who doesn't even understand the basic language of the One Piece world, hasn't received the attention of the goddess of luck, nor has he had any adventures or help from kind people.
In the following days, Indra struggled to figure out the timeline, tried to seek help from the Marines, and wanted to meet the kind and beautiful Tashigi, or even the failed Logia user, Smoker.
But these two people were nowhere to be found, and due to the language barrier and his inability to respond to authority, he was beaten by soldiers stationed at the Marine base entrance and brutally expelled.
Later, as he was starving and had nothing to eat, he could only steal some food, but he was beaten by the shop owner!
Of course, the entrance to the Grand Line, where pirates are rampant, makes it really hard to run a shop in Loguetown without some strength.
To survive, the hungry Indra had to scavenge for food in Loguetown's garbage dump, but he was bullied by beggars and violently beaten by gangsters.
Indra never expected that he, a handsome young man standing 1.80 meters tall, couldn't even defeat two beggars in this pirate world!
This miserable life, worse than a dog's, made Indra want to kill himself many times and end this failed and shameful time-travel journey.
But thinking about the resentment of being bullied by gangsters and beggars, combined with the family plots of this world and the beauties and strong men from all walks of life, made him extremely reluctant!
He silently hid all his resentment, determined to find an opportunity to rise completely in this world and then voluntarily vent what he had experienced these days.
To learn the language, he went through several months of a dumb life and often took the initiative to work for various businesses in Loguetown, just to get a simple meal.
However, there were also some unscrupulous merchants who were reluctant to give him a piece of food, forcing him to do unpaid work for nothing.
In this way, an easily intimidated and hardworking fool gained a bit of fame in Loguetown.
Later, Indra joined the underground organization Barto Family in Loguetown by chance due to his reputation for hard work and became a peripheral member, making a living!
This way, Indra learned about the major events and timelines of this world while learning the language!
Soon, he also earned his own nickname and a new name in the Barto Family: "Dumb Daddy."
Her name is Desejo, a red-haired girl, who, based on his dumb nickname, came up with a name for him, as if to tease him.
They say there's another meaning, derived from the two names Bartolomeo and Desejo.
Indra never expected that in the original world, someone would call him "daddy," but in this world, someone would call him "daddy."
So he didn't reject the new name Desejo gave him.
After all, being called "daddy" isn't so bad!
[Ps: Indra in the One Piece world will mean Daddy.]
About two years ago, Indra, who had just crossed over less than two months prior, hadn't yet fully learned the language of this world, so he could only obediently follow the Barto Family gangsters to collect protection money, acting like a thug.
As a result, he saw the freckled, furious boy at the restaurant near the execution plaza in Loguetown, arguing with the Marines over a meal.
For the first time, he witnessed a fierce battle between two natural-type Devil Fruit users. This was a "fireworks battle" between White Hunter Smoker and Fire Fist Ace!
For the first time, the "mute" Indra quickly spoke in front of the Barto Family's underground members, but he spoke in his native Earth language.
"Holy crap! That's Fire Fist Ace! No way! I want to join his crew, he must notice I'm here!! I want to have a Yamato!"
Indra shouted excitedly, as if he had seen the greatest treasure of his life, and then embarked on a wonderful life at the peak of his existence!
But fate played another trick on him!
Fire Fist Ace had already visited the execution platform of the Pirate King Roger. At that time, he had eaten his meal before heading to war with the Marines, so he quickly fled the island.
Watching Fire Fist Ace's pirate ship rapidly departing, Indra came to his senses and tried his best to reach the port.
How regretful he was at that moment, cursing himself as an idiot and brainless.
In fact, he missed the chance to board Ace's pirate ship, knowing how eager he was to join the Spade Pirates crew.
This way, he could rely on his familiarity with the plot to climb step by step!
The moment Indra saw Fire Fist Ace, he planned to follow Ace and enter the Grand Line and the New World.
After Ace becomes the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, he could also join the Whitebeard Pirates, lurking like Blackbeard.
Then find a way to transfer to the captain of the Fourth Division, find or intercept the Dark-Dark Fruit in advance, and eat it!
That's right, he only wanted the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit that Teach was waiting for, and then everything that belonged to Teach.
He even decided not to give Teach a chance to see that dark fruit, otherwise, he couldn't be Teach's opponent.
After all, that fat guy is a cruel man who left three claw marks on Red-Haired Shanks!
However, all these plans were ruined because Ace ran too fast and didn't even have time to say a word to Ace.
After all, the battle between Fire Fist Ace and White Hunter Smoker at that time was too terrifying and exaggerated. How could a weakling like him dare to join the fun?
As a result, Ace disappeared as quickly as he came, leaving gently without giving Indra the slightest chance, making him lose the opportunity to rise in the world of One Piece!
The weakling Indra thought about rowing a boat to chase Ace immediately, but he was quickly dragged away by the Barto Family gangsters.
As the furious Smoker had already led the Marines and began sweeping through the pirates in Loguetown, even gangsters like them had to hide immediately.
This also caused Indra to completely lose the chance to become a member of Ace's crew!
[Ps: Ace was born on January 1, 1500, and Luffy was born on May 5, 1503. Ace is 3 years and 4 months older than Luffy. Both set sail after their 17th birthday, so Ace set sail about 3 years and 4 months before Luffy.]
