chapter 1: At the nun house

Sea Circle Calendar 1459.

Forest Island,

New Lamb House. (nun house)

"It's been a year."

A boy with a dog's tail in his mouth lay on his back on the newly built roof. "Throwing away the fasting day Linlin made before, is it still... stable?"

Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by a burst of laughter from below.

"Hee ha ha!"

"Wait for me!!"

"I'm going to be killed by Linlin!!"

"Wait for me,Oh big brother, you too!"

"Linlin, Ryder can't run, or he'll be hungry again! Haha!"

"..."

On the open grassland, there were children of various races who had been taken in, including murlocs, long-handed people, pandaren, and fur tribe members, among others. There were also those with special identities, such as the perishing little prince who had been hunted down.

Of course, the most special one was a giant toddler with pink hair and a height of three or four meters! She was full of smiles, with an innocent face. Just looking at her demeanor, she might really be harmless to humans and animals. Only those who knew her well could understand how terrifying she really was.

Her name was Charlotte Linlin, and she was also the sister of Ryder on the roof.

A year ago, both of them had been abandoned. Linlin had been caused by her overgrown body and the destruction of her hometown. As for Ryder, his situation was even more serious. Not only did he eat a lot, but he was also seen turning into a demon and committing intolerable acts.

"Even in the New World, there's no shortage of uninformed people," Ryder thought to himself.

He also had a special identity as a time traveler. As for turning into a monster, it was pure nonsense. The real situation was that Ryder had eaten the Demon Lord of Gluttony Fruit in the form of the Phantom Beast. Or was it the fruit of everyone? Who knows? At that time, he hadn't been able to control it well, which had scared many people.

Speaking of crossing, Ryder had been born in this world six years ago, along with his younger sister Linlin. As for his sister, she was Charlotte Linlin, who would later become the leader of the Big Mom Pirates, the only woman among the Four Emperors and the strongest woman recognized in the sea. Her natural physique was different from ordinary people, with copper tendons and iron bones, and natural supernatural power. In childhood, she had been invincible, even without any training.

As for Ryder, he didn't have this talent as he grew older. However, he had a unique ability: he could read the voices of others and communicate with them spiritually, and this ability was getting stronger with age. He was also able to sense emotions, danger, and enemy positions, among other things. What really made Ryder stand out was the speed at which he gained knowledge. He had been able to forcibly distort his will, read other people's memories, and briefly predict the future.

This kind of talent was not just rare, it didn't exist at all. It was unprecedented and sensational in the outside world. Even top-level existences could only reach this level at most. Ryder was a real top performer, a collection of all the derivative directions of knowledge and color.

Perhaps he was even able to surpass his younger sister in Haki. With such a talent, he was naturally not inferior to his younger sister. Moreover, when he was just five years old, he had also eaten the Demon Lord of Gluttony Fruit in the form of the Phantom Beast, which had made up for his physical shortcomings. The only flaw was probably his food intake, but it wasn't a big deal. After all, even Luffy didn't have much of an appetite.

However, Ryder's abnormality and Linlin's craving for food had caused double contradictions to break out. As a result, the two of them had been sent to Elbaf and adopted by the nun.

This year, in addition to taking care of his sister, Ryder was instilling personal values and correcting behavior outside. They were silently accumulating strength, although as the demon lords in mythology, had unlimited potential, but no matter how strong they were, it took time to grow and develop.

"Children!"

At this time, the gentle voice of an old lady called out to everyone, and upon hearing her voice, everyone gathered obediently, except for Ryder, who was still on the roof.

The nun was smiling and didn't care. After looking back, she just explained that she was going out for a while. "So... then I'll ask you to take care of the house."

"I'll clean the toilet!"

"I'll do the laundry!"

"Linlin... will protect everyone and make sure no one gets hurt!" Linlin declared loudly, with a big smile on her face.

Ryder finally got up from the roof and joined the group, nodding in agreement. "I'll make sure no one breaks anything."

The nun smiled and nodded, then left with a wave of her hand.

As soon as she left, Linlin immediately declared that it was time to eat. "Who wants to try my new cake?"

Everyone cheered and followed her into the kitchen, where Linlin had been experimenting with different ingredients and flavors for the past few days.

Ryder followed them with a smile, feeling grateful for the peaceful life they had found on this island. He looked at his sister, who was happily baking cakes, and thought to himself, "Maybe one day we can leave this island and explore the sea, just like the legendary pirate king Gol D. Roger."

As he watched Linlin, he couldn't help but feel proud of her and her ever-growing strength.
