One Piece: Start with Akatsuki Template!

"It hurts! What's going on!?"

A sharp pain made Ryō wake up from his slumber.

"This... What's going on!? Where is this!? How could I be here? Wasn't I sleeping at home!?"

Ryō was startled and stood up abruptly. He covered his head, realizing he was in a cage with chains on his wrists and ankles. He clearly remembered playing games at home last night, feeling exhausted and falling asleep. How did he wake up in such a strange place? Could it be that he had been kidnapped!?

As Ryō puzzled over this, a torrent of information suddenly poured into his mind, causing a sharp pain.

"One Piece, Sabaody Archipelago, Pirates, Slaves..."

"I... I actually crossed over!? Came to the One Piece world..."

Through the scattered memories flooding his mind, Ryō realized he had crossed over to a different world. He was now in the world of One Piece, occupying a new body. Unfortunately, the body he now possessed belonged to an ordinary person captured by the Blood Wolf Pirates.

The Blood Wolf Pirates were notorious for their cruelty. Besides robbing and pillaging, they also engaged in capturing slaves. They had recently raided a village and slaughtered all its inhabitants. Ryō's predecessor had survived by luck, due to his handsome appearance, and was taken by the Blood Wolf Pirates to be sold at the Sabaody Archipelago auction house.

You see, many women in this world favored this kind of "merchandise," and a handsome young man like Ryō was sure to fetch a high price.

"Damn it! How did this happen!? I crossed into the One Piece world and now I'm about to be sold as a slave..." Ryō's heart sank with despair.

Just when he was feeling desperate and helpless, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Ding, the strongest Ten Thousand Realms Play System is now activated..."

"Beginning host binding..."

"Binding successful..."

A series of sounds left Ryō stunned, then filled him with joy. In his dire situation, the voice of a system was like music to his ears.

"System, what can you do!?"

Calming the excitement in his heart, Ryō quickly asked.

"Ding, this system is the strongest Play System, which allows the host to play characters from various worlds. The more accurately the host plays a character, the higher the progress, and the more power the host will gain."

As the system's explanation ended, more information flowed into Ryō's mind.

"Play as a character from different worlds!?"

A flash of excitement shone in Ryō's eyes. He had to admit, this was an incredible ability. With the strongest Ten Thousand Realms Play System, he was confident that he could escape his current predicament and make a name for himself in the One Piece world.

"Ding, the host has activated the system for the first time. As a reward, you have one character draw opportunity."

"Each time the host reaches 90% progress in playing a character, a new character draw will be unlocked."

"Host, would you like to draw your first character now?"

The system's voice echoed in Ryō's mind.

"What are you waiting for? Do it now!" Ryō said excitedly.

"Ding, drawing the first character now..."

As the system spoke, a series of figures flashed through Ryō's mind, leaving him dazzled. Just as he was starting to feel overwhelmed, the images stopped on a figure dressed in black with red clouds.

Orange hair, a handsome face, and ears adorned with black iron rods. A pair of cold, circular eyes, and a black cloak with red clouds.

"This is...!? Pain!"

Seeing this figure, a name popped into Ryō's mind. As a fan of anime in his previous life, he knew this character all too well. The figure was none other than Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki from the Naruto world. Pain was a legendary character, the founder of the Akatsuki, holder of the Rinnegan, the man who captured the Nine-Tails and destroyed Konoha Village.

Details of Pain's story flooded Ryō's mind. Pain's strength was undeniable, and even in the world of One Piece, filled with powerful individuals, he would be considered a top-tier fighter.

Such a powerful character as the first to play was definitely a good omen.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for drawing Pain – Six Paths of Pain."

"Ding, since this is the host's first time playing, 50% progress has been awarded."

"Would you like to start playing as Pain – Six Paths now?"

The system's voice sounded again in Ryō's mind.

"Yes!"

Ryō didn't hesitate and confirmed the choice immediately.

As soon as Ryō made the decision, he felt an immense power surge through his body. At the same time, the system panel in his mind updated.

[The Strongest Ten Thousand Realms Play System]

[Host: Ryō]

[Current character: Pain – Six Paths]

[Play progress: 50%]

[Activated abilities: Six Paths of Pain]

[Deva Path, Asura Path, Human Path, Animal Path, Preta Path, Naraka Path]

A powerful force emerged within Ryō, filling his mind with the knowledge and abilities of Pain – Six Paths. Each of the six paths represented a different power, and he now had the ability to summon avatars to control them.

Ryō could now feel that with these abilities, he had the power to shape his destiny in the One Piece world.
