Chapter 001 - Silver Hair

"Sigh… okay, let's take it easy."

Satoru spoke to himself as he sat on that toilet seat, "I was killed by Sukuna and somehow I ended up meeting a God who sent me to this place..."

A smile appeared on his face, "That... I've heard about that before."

"I'm a little younger, judging by my appearance... I must be between sixteen and seventeen."

Thank 'God', Gojo had a certain knowledge of the world he was in now. If his previous world was one of wizards, this was a world of pirates.

And also...

This system appeared to him the moment he 'woke up' in this world. Apparently, this was the helper God spoke of before sending him here.

"I still don't know how this will help me in this place..." Gojo sighed, "Do I need to collect these Soul Fragments to become stronger?"

Doubts were pounding in his head, "This is going to be difficult..."

...

Interrupting Gojo's thoughts, knocking sounds were heard coming directly from the door.

that bathroom.

"Bam? You better be ready, we're already in marineford."

Gojo opened the door, "Are you talking to me?"

A tall, broad-shouldered old man with a braided beard and mustache stood in front of the door, "Who else would it be with?"

A goat could be seen next to him, which made Gojo frown.

"Come on, we don't have time to waste."

With no choice, Satoru Gojo followed him.

...

The place where Gojo was now was a kind of military island, a surrounding city. Other ships were also docked and other children of the same age were being accompanied. After walking a few meters, they both arrived at an open training field.

"Sengoku-san![1]"

The soldiers accompanying their children saluted the man next to Gojo in respect. Not only did the soldiers show respect, but

children too. Gojo's relaxed demeanor caught the attention of those in front of him.

"Welcome to Marineford[2]. This will be where you will spend most of your life from now on. You are the future of the Navy and so I want to see you do your best. Good luck to all."

Those simple words were enough to change those children's nervous expressions.

"Alright, let's go!" A man with a mohawk and a mustache, wearing a uniform with a striped jacket on his shoulders[3] said as the children followed him.

Sengoku grabbed Gojo by the arm, "Not yet, let's go somewhere else now."

...

After walking a few meters, Sengoku 'dragged' Gojo to an office. During the journey, one could see the heavy training those children were undergoing.

Gojo could feel what was coming.

When they arrived at the office, Sengoku sat behind the desk and waited for Gojo to do the same. When he did, he started talking.

"You will live here in Marineford from today onwards, I hope you already understand that."

"Sigh... I know you must be hurting, your mother's death took me by surprise."

Gojo didn't seem to be sad and that was no coincidence, after all, he had no idea what that man in front of him was talking about. However, if God sent him to this place then this person must be someone who can be trusted.

"Yes..." Gojo agreed with what Sengoku was saying.

"As your uncle, it's my duty to take care of you and not let you become a pirate or something."

...

The sun was at its peak and the heat was abundant, a week had passed since the moment Satoru Gojo became a recruit and ended up in Marineford. During this time, he discovered that Sengoku was a man well respected by everyone on that island. Furthermore, he was related to him.

"Hooo... this, this..."

Gojo was doing push-ups in his room, in the free time he had he studied how the system worked and discovered that he could increase his physical strength attribute when he completed a certain number of exercises.

Basically, whenever his new body reached a limit, if he surpassed it in the next exercise his physical attribute would increase by 5+

"80 is my limit... This body is weak, I will have problems if I don't train it enough."

Every day, the Vice Admiral gathered groups of recruits and began an intense physical training session under the sun. Due to his fragile body, Gojo was among the last in all of them.

Quickly, news of Sengoku's relative failing basic training spread among the recruits.

"Does he really have Sengoku's blood in his veins?"

"He should have become a pirate, at least I wouldn't have embarrassed him personally, hahaha."

In this world, Sengoku was one of the only ones who could chase Gol D. Roger[4] and corner him. Although his body is no longer at its peak, his strength is still respected and definitely not to be underestimated.

...

The groups of recruits were gathered every week on the last day, each one's performance was displayed for everyone to see. After two weeks of training, the first placed teams still held their own.

This was a known method that had always been used to motivate and increase the training load of recruits. The Navy knew that by showing this, ego and pride would make those kids train hard every day.

"I managed to move up two positions!"

"I fell three..."

"Hahaha, maybe you're not talented enough."

The usual murmur had begun, some with looks of satisfaction, and others with disappointment. However, some children who were among the highest positions seemed to not care about that rank.

"Drake, Shu... these two have been tied since the beginning."

N/T: This is not the same Shu who already appeared in the anime.

Looking at his expressions, Satoru couldn't help but smile, "That's interesting...".

"Hey, idiot, looks like you're having trouble getting out of the last positions."

A small group of recruits approached Satoru, "Do you need help? Or are you going to ask Sengoku to get involved in this? Hahaha."

Gojo remained calm and, smiling, looked at them, "Do you remember what my position was two weeks ago?"

The bigger boy who seemed to be the leader frowned, "130°? 131°? I don't remember, I usually don't look back when I'm training, hahaha."

Beside him, one of the boys whispered in his ear, making his eyes widen for a few seconds.

"Your current position is... 90th?! Are you telling me you've moved up 40 positions in just three weeks?"

Looking at Gojo's smile, his fists clenched and his confident expression went away. "G-big deal! Don't brag about it, it's really easy to surpass those losers!"

He turned his back, distancing himself from Gojo as he spoke, "Let's see how long this lasts..."

"Of course, of course..." Gojo had already ignored him a few seconds ago, his attention was focused on the system screen.
