Traversing to the world of pirates, he finds himself in the era before the events of One Piece unfold. As a member of the infamous Rocks Pirates, led by Rocks D. Xebec, he sails alongside legendary figures such as Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido. The crew's pursuit of ultimate power and chaos presents both opportunity and danger. Amidst this turbulent era, a mysterious system called Six Path Immortals activates within him, drawing power from the Naruto universe. Starting with an immortal body akin to the regenerative powers of Hashirama Senju, he gains access to the chakra of the Nine-Tails, Kurama. Gradually mastering this overwhelming energy, he transitions into Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode, where his aura radiates with fiery golden energy, and then to Kurama Mode, merging with the beast for enhanced power. As he grows stronger, he unlocks the legendary Six Paths Sage Mode, achieving unparalleled wisdom and power, akin to Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths. With mastery over both yin and yang chakra, and abilities like truth-seeking orbs, he stands as a force that could rival the might of even the Rocks Pirates' captain. His ultimate goal becomes clear: to ascend beyond the chaos of pirates and to become a true Six Paths Immortal in a world dominated by ambition and treachery. _________________________ Visit patreon.com/shirokendama for more chapters
The New World, somewhere on the vast and treacherous seas.
The afternoon sun blazed fiercely above, casting golden waves across the endless ocean.
"Crash!!!"
A massive pirate vessel cut through the waves, its presence stirring whirlpools in its wake.
On its deck, a rowdy band of pirates laughed and shouted, clinking mugs of rum.
"Hahaha! Captain, this time we hit the jackpot! Not only did we raid the merchant ship for a fortune in jewels, but we also found a Devil Fruit! If we sell it, we'll rake in millions!" one pirate boasted.
"Yeah, but don't forget how well-guarded that merchant ship was. We lost a few of our men dealing with their hired muscle. Worth it, though! That fruit and the treasure make up for everything."
Another pirate nodded in agreement. "And those fools didn't know who they were dealing with. They dared to stand against Captain Anos! Everyone knows his bounty's 300 million berries—he's infamous across the New World!"
The pirates cheered, their voices rising in drunken celebration. In the middle of the crowd stood their captain, Anos, his cold grin matching his fearsome reputation.
"Quiet down," Anos ordered, his voice calm yet commanding. "We'll sell the Devil Fruit and share the spoils. You'll all get a taste of luxury soon enough."
"Captain is mighty!"
"Captain is mighty!"
"Captain is mighty!"
Their enthusiastic chants echoed across the sea.
Then the lookout shouted from the crow's nest, "Captain! There's a small boat ahead!"
Anos raised an eyebrow. "A boat? That's hardly worth my time. Deal with it."
"Yes, Captain!" The pirate crew turned their attention to the small vessel.
"Fire the cannons! Sink it!" the helmsman barked.
Gunports swung open, and the ship's cannons unleashed a barrage of iron.
"Boom bang bang!!!"
The black cannonballs screamed through the air toward the small boat. But just as they neared, a figure leapt high into the air from the boat's deck. A single, gleaming blade in his hand cut through each shell in mid-flight.
"Shh!!!"
The cannonballs exploded in bursts of fire and smoke, raining harmlessly into the sea. The figure landed gracefully back on his boat's deck, his sword still glinting in the sunlight.
Kaito Ryujin wiped his brow and sighed. "What a headache… Ever since I came to this world, I can't seem to catch a moment's rest."
Kaito wasn't from this world. He'd been thrown here half a year ago from a place called Blue Star. He'd quickly realized he wasn't in the familiar era of the Straw Hat Pirates or even the age of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger.
No, this was far earlier. The age of Rocks D. Xebec.
The world was chaotic and perilous, filled with power struggles that made the current era seem tame. Kaito, however, had an edge. Upon arriving, he had been granted the Fairy System—an otherworldly power that bestowed upon him incredible abilities and the knowledge to hone them.

Armament Haki: 900/1000
Observation Haki: 900/1000

Other Special Abilities:
Sage Eye (Locked)
Bind Nine Tails (Locked, requires a Devil Fruit)
The system's guidance had rapidly increased Kaito's power. In just half a year, his Armament and Observation Haki were nearly at their second stage. Conqueror's Haki, though harder to train, had also grown steadily.
Sage Body, a unique gift from the Fairy System, had given Kaito immense physical strength, resilience, and durability. His skin was as tough as steel, and his body healed at a pace rivaling ancient Zoan users. The potential to unlock further stages of Sage Body kept him motivated.
And then there was the lure of binding Nine Tails—an overwhelming force that, if controlled, would elevate Kaito's power to the level of legends. But first, he needed to find a Devil Fruit to unlock this potential.
"Enough reflection," Kaito muttered to himself, gripping his sword tightly. The pirate ship loomed closer, its crew growing more agitated as they realized their cannon barrage had failed.
Kaito stepped onto the edge of his boat. With a single leap, he soared through the air and landed gracefully on the pirate ship's deck.
