Ethan was sprawled on the runway at the Marine training ground, panting and complaining.
As a traveler, he felt ashamed of himself.
Firstly, the timing of his crossing was wrong; it was now a few months after the end of the Summit War. Traveling through this time meant he couldn't keep up with the current events.
Secondly, his identity as a free-spirited Marine recruit with low talent was frightening. He was estimated to face sudden battles in his life.
"Ding! The dead chat group system is binding..."
"Binding succeeded!"
The crisp and sweet mechanical sound suddenly sounded, injecting vitality into the lifeless Ethan.
"System? Chat group?" Ethan's eyes lit up as he quickly checked the capabilities of his system.
He discovered that he could randomly invite undead beings into the group, allowing them to receive external information through themselves, and gain the ability of the dead. As the group owner and system host, Ethan could perform a series of operations on group members, such as blocking perception, banning, and kicking people.
"Nice ability!" Ethan was excited, realizing that this could be his ticket to rising in power.
"Ding! would you like to start to invite group members?"
"Invite!" Ethan gave a decisive reply to the system.
"Ding! Pirate King Roger has joined the chat group!"
"Ding! Golden Lion Shiki has joined the chat group!"
"Ding! Whitebeard has joined the chat group!"
"Ding! Fire Fist Ace has joined the chat group!"
"Ding! Fisher Tiger joined the chat group!"
Five consecutive system prompts sounded, and five familiar names appeared in front of Ethan.
As Ethan saw the five names, he realized that his system was still very powerful. Rather than inviting nameless cannon fodder, he invited five powerful dead beings for himself.
Pirate King Roger: "What is this? Didn't I get stabbed to death by those two executioners? Why am I here?"
Whitebeard: "Roger?"
Golden Lion Shiki: "Roger!"
Pirate King Roger: "Ah? Whitebeard, Golden Lion, why are you two here?
Pirate King Roger: "Just kidding! You are so young and strong, how could you die?"
Whitebeard: "Gurararara! Young? When I died, you had been dead for more than 20 years. And even if it was the year you died, I was already in my fifties, how could I be young?"
Golden Lion Shiki: "I see! It seems that although Roger died more than 20 years earlier than us, the years of his death were unreliable. Before he appeared here, he had no self-awareness."
Pirate King Roger: "Nani? Incredible! I didn't expect that I have been dead for more than 20 years. Has the world changed after I died?"
Fisher Tiger: "There's a change, and it's a big one! Because of your declaration before your death, the world has begun the era of the great pirate."
Pirate King Roger: "Really? It's exactly what I thought, hahahaha! I'm really a genius. The World Government was put together by me!"
Fisher Tiger: "You seem to be very proud? It's because of you that the era of the big bullshit pirates started, and The Fish Men Island will be reduced to hell."
Pirate King Roger: "Eh?"
