Chapter #1

"What's going on? How did I suddenly appear in the sea?" Mason said in a panic. The pain in his back made him realize that he was not dreaming.

He glanced behind him and saw an endless sea. The next second, a wave hit, and Mason was swallowed by it.

When the waves receded, he wiped the remaining seawater from his face. Suddenly, a memory that did not belong to him rushed into his mind. Mason's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that he had transmigrated.

And it was One Piece. It was now the 1484th year of the Sea Circle Calendar, decades earlier than when the protagonist had set out to sea. The original owner was named Toss. He had challenged Rocks and was struck on the back by Kaido with a club, after which he lost consciousness.

After receiving the memory, Mason remembered Toss from the Naruto mobile game and immediately complained, "Damn it! Do you think you're really a god? You dare to challenge Rocks? Is that someone you can mess with?"

No matter how much he complained, Mason still planned to get ashore first. From his memory, he knew that this body was quite strong. Mason used his right hand to push off a rock and suddenly jumped out of the water. Then, he did a backflip and landed steadily on the shore.

"Is this the body from the pirate world? It's so strong!"

Mason couldn't believe it. He had just used his hand to support himself against a rock, jumped four meters high, and did a backflip. If he were on Earth, he would be like Captain America, but here, the reward would probably be tens of millions at most; otherwise, he would not have been instantly killed by Kaido.

Thinking of powerful figures like Rocks, Whitebeard, and Roger, Mason felt helpless. If he were younger, maybe he could work hard to become stronger, but now this body was 36 years old. If he wanted to become stronger, he would have to find a powerful Devil Fruit.

Just as Mason was thinking about what to do next, a voice that he thought was the most beautiful in the world rang out:

'Ding!'

"System? Is it a system?"

Mason hastily confirmed, his face full of excitement. Mason, who had written novels in his previous life, was certainly not unfamiliar with this.

"Yes, host!" The system's prompt sounded.

Hearing this, Mason was excited and asked quickly, "System, what functions do you have? Introduce yourself!"

'Ding! This system is a template system. The system will provide a character template for the host to extract.'

'If you draw any of these characters, the host can immediately obtain all the abilities of the character as long as they are used!'

After the introduction, the system prompted:

'Ding! Host, do you want to extract?'

"Extract!" Mason shouted in his mind without hesitation.

As Mason finished speaking, a light curtain appeared in front of him. In the middle of the light curtain was a roulette, and around the roulette were many character portraits.

[Saitama][Gojo Satoru][Young Son Goku][Old Danzo][Esdeath][Tornado] [Kaneki Ken][Tomioka Giyu][Tsugikuni Yoriichi][Altria Pendragon][Young Konohamaru][...]

Mason spent a few minutes looking through the hundreds of avatars. Some he didn't recognize.

'Ding! Host, do you want to roll?'

The system prompted again.

"Roll!" Mason replied without hesitation.

The next moment, a cursor appeared on Saitama's section of the roulette, jumping irregularly over the character portraits at a very fast speed, accompanied by a slot machine-like bell.

"Give me Saitama! Or give me Son Goku! Give me something good!"

Mason stared at the screen, muttering non-stop.

"Stop!" Seeing that it was almost time, Mason shouted, and the cursor began to slow down and slid above Akame.

Seeing this, Mason's face turned pale because the cursor was moving very slowly. The next one was Young Konohamaru.

"It's over, it's all over! My dream of becoming stronger!"

Mason said in despair. He thought that with the system, he could draw a powerful character, but he never expected to get such a weakling. Mason, who had already accepted the reality, was about to see if the system had any other functions. Suddenly, the cursor seemed to use its last bit of strength and slid to [?].

Mason rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and his feeling of loss turned into excitement. The next moment, a small pop-up window appeared, with avatars of countless strong and weak characters flashing rapidly on it.

'Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Uchiha Madara - Konoha Early.'

The moment the system prompt sounded, the character on the pop-up window froze, and a man wearing red armor and holding a Gunbai appeared.

"Oh my god! It's Uchiha Madara?"

"Thank God, it's not Konohamaru anymore!"

Mason was excited.

'Ding! Host, do you want to claim it?' The system prompted.

"Receive it!"

As Mason's voice fell, he felt a surge of memories in his mind instantly. These included Uchiha Madara's childhood, his founding of Konoha, and his departure. These memories also included ninjutsu and fighting techniques. To Mason, it felt as if he had experienced them.

At this moment, Mason felt something more in his hand. He looked down and saw that it was a Madara weapon—a Gunbai. Mason, who had obtained Uchiha Madara's memories, knew that this fan was made from the branches of the sacred tree and was extremely hard, a rare artifact. There was also a sickle inlaid on the back of the Gunbai, which was a detachable weapon.

Then, Mason noticed that his clothes were changing. His original jacket turned into a red armor with an ancient look. Mason touched his cheek and saw that two long black hairs had appeared on both sides, and his right eye was also covered by long hair.
