The Pinnacle of the Navy! Starting from Being Captured by Garp

Windmill Village, the morning beach.

The morning sun fell on the golden sand. A light breeze blew, and the waves lapped gently at the shore. Uta's cheerful laughter echoed in the air. The Red-Haired Pirates sat around a bonfire, enjoying the long-awaited peace and leisure.

Yasopp had one eye closed, his face relaxed, skillfully handling his rifle, but his Observation Haki was quietly spreading out like a spiderweb, vigilantly sensing his surroundings. Suddenly, his pupils constricted.

On the beach, a tall figure appeared silently. It was a man three meters tall, his pristine white Rear Admiral's cape fluttering in the morning breeze. His authoritative and cold expression made it impossible to look him in the eye.

"A Marine?!" Yasopp immediately drew his gun, but the presence instantly froze him in place.

Shanks almost instinctively stood in front of Uta, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his hawk-like eyes locked on the figure.

"Roy..." That name, that presence—the "Monster Rear Admiral" of the New World, the legendary new star who had single-handedly swept through several great pirate crews in the New World.

The cigarette in Beckman's mouth fell onto the sand. His hand was already on the grip of his gun. Lucky Roux and the rest of the crew's breathing became heavy. The air suddenly froze, like the dead calm before a storm.

Roy's gaze was like a blade, coldly sweeping over everyone, finally landing on Shanks. "Shanks, a word?" His voice was low but seemed to carry an irresistible pressure, like a war drum beating on their nerves.

Yasopp's gaze was cold as he snapped, "Who the hell do you think you are?! You think you're worthy of talking to our captain—"

Before he could finish—

"BANG—!!!"

A muffled sound shattered everyone's eardrums. Yasopp's figure flew over a hundred meters away at a speed invisible to the naked eye, crashing into the sea and creating a wave dozens of meters high.

"Wh—?!" The entire Red-Haired Pirates crew was shocked.

"Yasopp?!"

"What just happened?!"

"He... he didn't even move?!"

Shanks's expression turned completely cold. "Roy... what is the meaning of this?"

Roy glanced lightly at the sea. "Just telling him to be quiet."

"BOOM!!!"

In an instant, a monstrous wave of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Shanks's body. It was like a hurricane sweeping across the heavens. The entire sky was instantly covered in dark clouds. The formless presence roared like a giant beast. The bonfire on the beach was instantly extinguished, the ground cracked, sand and stones flew, and even the waves rolled back. The sky itself seemed to tremble.

However, the next instant—

"VMMM—!!!"

A pressure that seemed to rise from the deep sea suddenly erupted. Roy's Conqueror's Haki surged like a tide, meeting Shanks's presence head-on without backing down. The two waves of Conqueror's Haki collided violently in mid-air. The air seemed to be twisted and torn, the waves exploded into a giant wall of water, and lightning flashed across the sea, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"CRACK—!"

At the moment the two presences met, the surrounding air shattered like glass, and black cracks flashed through the void.

"Uwaahhh!!!" The weaker members of the Red-Haired Pirates were instantly forced to their knees, covered in cold sweat, unable to even lift their heads.

"This guy..."

"He can actually withstand the captain's Conqueror's Haki head-on?!"

Beckman's gaze sharpened. He took half a step forward, and a steady presence suddenly emanated from him, firmly protecting Uta behind him. After confirming the girl was unharmed, he looked forward again. "It seems we've met an interesting fellow this time."

Shanks's pupils constricted, a rare gravity in his eyes. "Roy... you actually...!"

Roy's face was cold, his eyes like the deep sea, exuding a soul-stirring power. "Now, can we talk properly?"

As for why Roy was so confident in coming to find trouble with Red-Hair, we have to go back a year, to the night of Roy's 18th birthday...

Roy had a strange dream. In the dream, he was in a pure white space, walking on soft clouds, with colorful light spots floating around. He frowned, thinking he might be hallucinating from over-training.

"Hey—! Wake up! Don't just stand there!" Suddenly, an enlarged face appeared right in front of him. Long, messy blue hair, big, watery eyes full of anxiety.

"Uh... who are you?"

"Who am I?!" The other person's eyes widened in disbelief. "You actually forgot the great 'Lady Aqua'?! I am the goddess of luck and wisdom!"

"I'm the one who sent you to this world!!!"

Roy looked at her blankly—a sloppy white robe, a crooked headdress, and a half-drunk bottle of juice in her hand...

"Hey! What's with that look?!" The clumsy, stupid goddess stomped her foot angrily. "I'm very busy! If it weren't for a bug in the system, I wouldn't have come to find you!"

"System? Bug?" Roy frowned.

"Yes! The 'Transmigrator's Welfare System'!" The clumsy, stupid goddess scratched her head in frustration. "It was supposed to awaken when you were 16, but that day... uh, I drank a little too much and accidentally deleted the installation package..."

Roy: "..."

"And! Even worse!" The clumsy, stupid goddess grabbed his shoulders and shook him frantically, her eyes teary. "The higher-ups are coming for an inspection soon! If they find out I messed up, my year-end bonus will be gone!!!"

Roy was dizzy from her shaking and barely managed to hold her head still. "...So?"

"So!" The clumsy, stupid goddess's face changed instantly, and she gave a brilliant smile. "Can you help me cover it up? Just say the system has loaded normally, you just didn't notice it yourself?"

Roy: "..."

Seeing him silent, the clumsy, stupid goddess immediately put on a pitiful expression. "Please! I promise I'll compensate you!"

Roy sighed. "...What compensation?"

"Hehe~" The clumsy, stupid goddess proudly put her hands on her hips. "Then I'll reluctantly give you a patch." She waved her hand, and a giant wheel appeared in the air, densely covered with all kinds of abilities. "Two random rewards as compensation!"

The wheel spun frantically and finally stopped—

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining—'Conqueror's Haki (can grow with spirit)'!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining—'Special Body (can consume two Devil Fruits)'!"

Aqua: "..."

Roy: "..."

The air suddenly fell silent. The clumsy, stupid goddess stared at the wheel, her mouth twitching. "...How could it be these two?"

Roy: "Aren't they pretty good?"

"Good, my ass!" the clumsy, stupid goddess went crazy. "Conqueror's Haki is one thing, but what the hell is a 'Special Body'?!"

"How could a bug-level ability like this be rolled?! My performance review is ruined!!!"

Roy silently watched her go crazy, thinking that this goddess really was unreliable.

"No, no!" The clumsy, stupid goddess suddenly leaned in, her expression serious. "Listen! These two abilities are too overpowered. You absolutely cannot use them casually!"

"Especially the two-fruit ability. If the World Government finds out, you will definitely be captured for research!"

Roy: "...So?"

"So—" the stupid goddess gave a cunning smile, "I'll pretend I didn't see anything, and you don't show it off everywhere, understand?"

Roy: "..."

"Alright! Problem solved!" The stupid goddess clapped her hands, looking relieved. "Thanks for your cooperation! Bye-bye~"

"Wait, I haven't—"

"Bang!" Before Roy could finish, the clumsy goddess kicked him out of the dream.

The next day, Marine Headquarters Training Ground.

"You brat! You're going to feel my love today too!!" Garp laughed and charged with his fist raised.

Roy had just woken up and was still a bit dazed. He looked up and saw a fist the size of a sandbag coming at him—

"VMMM—!!!"

In an instant, a terrifying pressure erupted from his body. The air trembled, and the ground cracked.

Garp: "?!"

Sengoku: "?!"

Zephyr: "?!"

The entire training ground of Marines froze instantly. Those with weaker strength directly rolled their eyes and fainted. Garp came to a screeching halt, his eyes wide. "C-Conqueror's Haki?!"

In the office, the file in Sengoku's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter." His pupils behind his glasses constricted violently. "...The Navy's... third Conqueror's Haki user?!"

Zephyr was so shocked he was speechless—how did this kid get Conqueror's Haki after just one night's sleep?!

Roy himself was also stunned. He looked down at his hand. "...So it wasn't a dream?"

Garp suddenly burst out laughing and threw an arm around his neck. "Good kid! You hid it well!"

Roy: "...No, actually, I just found out myself."

A glint appeared in Zephyr's eyes. "Roy, from today on, your training plan is doubled!"

Roy: "Stupid goddess, you...!"

—And so, the youngest "Conqueror's Haki user" in Marine history was born.
