**Sea Calendar Year 1510 – Impel Down, Crimson Hell**
"Hey, wake up! Get up and eat! Stop playing dead!"
A rough voice slowly penetrated Alex's consciousness.
The next moment, he suddenly felt a heavy blow land on his backside, jolting him awake instantly.
"Damn it! If you're not dead, hurry up and eat. It's your turn soon!"
A man wearing a military cap, a white jacket, and green trousers stood before him, glaring menacingly.
"This… where am I?" Alex asked in confusion as he took in the pitch-black surroundings.
"Haha, kid, looks like you're scared silly. Fine, let me remind you again—this is the first level of Impel Down, Crimson Hell.
This meal might just be your last, so enjoy it while you can!" The man sneered before turning around and leaving.
**Boom!**
The door slammed shut, leaving Alex alone in the eerie silence.
Just as he was about to get up and assess the situation, a torrent of fragmented memories suddenly flooded his brain.
"Ah!"
A sharp pain erupted in his head, forcing a groan out of him.
After a few moments, the pain gradually subsided, and images began to take shape in his mind.
A long time passed before Alex's legs gave out, and he slumped back onto the cold, hard floor.
**"Impossible… I actually transmigrated?! And into the world of One Piece?!"**
He kept mumbling the same sentence over and over.
Yes, Alex had really transmigrated. But unlike the typical protagonists in novels, he hadn't taken over the body of a powerful figure—he had ended up in the body of an ordinary pirate.
Worse yet, this pirate had recently been captured by the Marines and thrown into the infamous deep-sea prison, Impel Down!
This hellish prison held only the most dangerous criminals, was constantly under surveillance by monstrous jailers and Den Den Mushi, and was surrounded by the treacherous sea filled with giant Sea Kings, making it a literal fortress of despair.
In history, only the legendary "Golden Lion" Shiki had ever successfully escaped.
**"Damn it! Not only did I transmigrate into a no-name pirate, but I didn't even get a system?!"**
Alex cursed in frustration.
But just as he finished speaking, a familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind—
**"Ding! Naruto Possession System successfully activated! Congratulations on unlocking the system and its built-in store! You have received a Beginner's Gift Pack. Please check your inventory to claim it."**
**"It's here! A system really appeared!"**
Hearing the notification, Alex immediately opened the so-called system in excitement.
In the next instant, a translucent interface appeared in his mind:
**Host:** Alex
**Available Possession Characters:** None
**Possession Uses Remaining:** 0
**Fame Points:** 0
**"Wait… a Naruto Possession System?"**
Alex stared at the interface, utterly confused.
Then, remembering the Beginner's Gift Pack, he quickly accessed his system inventory and opened it.
**"Ding! Beginner's Gift Pack opened successfully! You have obtained a 'Might Guy' Character Card and 10 Possession Uses."**
**"Holy—Might Guy?! The strongest Taijutsu master in Naruto? The man even Madara called the strongest?!"**
At that moment, Alex's system interface refreshed again:
**Host:** Alex
**Available Possession Characters:** Might Guy
**Possession Uses Remaining:** 10
**Fame Points:** 0
Now, he finally understood how this system worked—it allowed him to possess characters from the Naruto world, temporarily gaining their abilities.
However, in order to use this feature, he needed **Character Cards** and **Possession Uses**, both of which were essential.
But how exactly could he obtain more Character Cards and Possession Uses?
Recalling the system's earlier prompt, Alex realized there was also a **System Store**.
Without hesitation, he accessed it, and rows of character cards immediately appeared in his mind:
- **[Sage of Six Paths] (Character Card)** – Requires **10 million Fame Points**
- **[Sage Mode Naruto Uzumaki] (Character Card)** – Requires **1 million Fame Points**
- **[Madara Uchiha] (Character Card)** – Requires **800,000 Fame Points**
- **[Hashirama Senju] (Character Card)** – Requires **500,000 Fame Points**
- **[Itachi Uchiha] (Character Card)** – Requires **100,000 Fame Points**
- **[Possession Use (1 hour)]** – Requires **1,000 Fame Points**
The list contained nearly every powerful character from the Naruto series, each requiring a different amount of **Fame Points**.
The **Sage of Six Paths** alone cost a staggering **10 million** Fame Points!
Even the cheapest option—one **Possession Use**—cost **1,000 Fame Points**.
Glancing at his **current Fame Points: 0**, Alex couldn't help but let out a bitter chuckle.
But as he scrolled further, he found a short description:
**"Fame Points can be obtained by defeating opponents. The stronger the opponent, the more Fame Points awarded."**
With this, the system's functions were fully revealed.
If Alex wanted to gain Fame Points, he had no choice but to **fight and win**.
For now, he had **10 Possession Uses** of Might Guy, each lasting only **one hour**.
Once the time was up, he would return to his **normal** self.
Fortunately, Might Guy's strength was **overwhelming**, especially with his mastery of the **Eight Gates Technique**.
As long as he didn't encounter a **Yonko** or an **Admiral**, he was confident he could defeat most enemies within an hour!
