Sea Circle Calendar: 1520.

North Blue.

G-64 Marine Branch.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

[Ding, it is detected that the Host is over 60 years old, Didi!]

[The system is awakening...]

[The system has awakened...]

[The current Host has the following two options:]

[Option 1: Restore to the peak state of youth and start a new life.]

[Option 2: Obtain the 'Yamamoto Genryūsai' template in Shinigami, with random unlock progress.]

"I traveled for forty years before my power finally awakened..."

Bai Ye, who had already submitted his application to retire from the Marines, stood at the port, contemplating the two options before him with a complex expression.

He came into this world as an accidental survivor.

And his arrival coincided with the era of the Rocks, the overlords of the sea at that time.

It can't be said that he was an unfortunate time traveler.

But it wasn't good enough either.

Without any cheats or the inherent monstrous talents found in the world of One Piece.

No matter how much he exercised every day.

It was all predetermined; he couldn't compete with those natural-born sea monsters.

He had witnessed the death of a comrade.

Such was the harsh reality.

Survival was a struggle for the weak in these seas.

Therefore...

For a sufficiently safe life...

Bai Ye chose to join the Marine faction.

And thus...

Day by day, as he went to work for regular check-ins and fishing, time slipped away.

He witnessed the most vicious era of the Rocks Pirates.

And from the news, he saw the rise of the Roger Pirates.

Now the Summit War was just on the horizon.

Forty years had passed.

Although Bai Ye never had children.

But Bai Ye, who was twenty when he arrived, was now sixty years old, and had become one of the obsolete remnants of the old era.

Today...

Bai Ye, the Marine Colonel at the local branch in the North Blue, has formally submitted his application for Marine retirement.

The cheat had finally appeared.

It has to be said that Bai Ye's feelings are extremely mixed.

"Option one is to restore me to my youthful peak... to have a life again."

"Or choose option two... Does it grant me direct strength?"

Faced with two options before him.

It would be false to say his heart didn't waver.

To rejuvenate meant he could start all over again.

While option two:

'Yamamoto Genryūsai' template!

He vaguely remembered.

This is from that Shinigami anime, Bleach – the founder of the Soul Society's Gotei 13 and the captain-commander!

At the same time, its Zanpakutō wields the most robust attack, the highest temperature, and the broadest range, known as the strongest and ancient flame Zanpakutō.

Ryūjin Jakka!

Undeniably.

Two options.

Both are thoroughly tempting to anyone.

But as for him, having submitted his Marine resignation application.

At this moment, his heart desires nothing more than to stay out of the coming chaotic era.

The day before Cheat's awakening he had pondered his next move.

He was ready to fully settle in the town where I've lived for more than thirty years.

Though a time traveler, thirty years are enough for him to have a second home in this world.

As for the chaos beyond.

At his current advanced age, he have no desire to participate nor wish to attract trouble.

Forty years!

Suddenly.

An exclamation interrupted my thoughts.

"What's happening?! Look at the sea!"

"Is there a fire over there?!"

"No, it seems to be shelling!"

Excited shouting rippled continuously among the many marines at the port.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but look toward the commotion.

And for no small reason.

It was coming from the direction of the town where he had lived for over thirty years!
