LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 1: CHAPTER 1
The New World, an unpredictable and perilous sea area.
The sun blazed high above, casting golden rays over the endless expanse of ocean. The waves shimmered, almost peaceful, if not for the ominous crash of a massive pirate ship cutting through the water, leaving swirling ripples in its wake.
On the deck of the vessel, a rowdy band of pirates gathered, their laughter and chatter blending with the cries of seagulls overhead.
"Hahaha! Captain, we struck gold this time! A Devil Fruit! If we sell it, we could make a fortune!" bellowed a stocky pirate with a jagged scar running down his face.
"Aye, but it wasn't easy," another chimed in, nursing a bandaged arm. "That merchant ship had a crew of hired mercenaries—tough ones too. We lost a few of our own, but the haul was worth it. Look at all this jewelry—and that Devil Fruit!"
The group erupted into laughter and cheers, their eyes glinting greedily. At the center of the commotion stood their captain, Anos, a towering figure with a bounty of 300 million berries, infamous across the New World.
"Enough yammering!" Anos growled, silencing the crowd. His grin widened, revealing sharp teeth. "We'll sell the Devil Fruit and live like kings for a while. But remember, strength rules in this world. Celebrate when we're safe in port."
"CAPTAIN IS MIGHTY!" the crew roared in unison.
Just then, the pirate manning the wheel turned, his face pale. "Captain, there's a small boat up ahead!"
"A boat?" Anos arched a brow, his voice laced with annoyance. "Handle it. Sink it."
"Aye, Captain!"
Cannons were aimed, their dark barrels swiveling towards the lone vessel.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The sky roared as cannonballs streaked through the air, descending toward the unassuming boat.
But in an instant, a shadow darted upward. A figure leaped high into the air, wielding a katana that gleamed under the sun.
"Shiiing!"
The blade danced, cleaving through the cannonballs, reducing them to harmless fragments. The explosions crackled above the water, smoke billowing.
The figure landed gracefully on the deck of the small boat, the sea breeze ruffling his dark, spiky hair. His sharp eyes scanned the pirate ship ahead. Kaito, a traveler from another world, sighed in frustration.
"Seriously? Can't I get a moment's rest?" Kaito muttered, resting the flat of his blade on his shoulder.
Half a year had passed since Kaito found himself in this dangerous world—one far removed from the world of One Piece he once watched. He wasn't in the age of Luffy or even Gol D. Roger. No, this was an older, darker era: the time of Rocks D. Xebec, where the seas teemed with legends like Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido in their prime.
It was a world where danger lurked at every turn, where the strong ruled, and the weak perished. But Kaito had a trump card: the abilities of his previous world, Naruto.
"Guess I'll have to teach these pirates a lesson." Kaito adjusted his grip on the katana, his voice low but firm. Chakra began to emanate from his body, surrounding him in a faint blue aura.
The pirates stared in shock as Kaito's blade pulsed with energy. He raised it, and with a swift, practiced motion, he unleashed a powerful Wind Style: Crescent Moon Slash, sending a crescent-shaped shockwave tearing toward the pirate ship.
"Captain! That's no ordinary swordsman!" one of the pirates screamed as the shockwave collided with the ship, splitting the mast and sending debris flying.
Anos stepped forward, his grin replaced by a scowl. "A Devil Fruit user? Or something else entirely?" He cracked his knuckles, his men stepping back.
Kaito smirked, his stance steady. "Does it matter? You picked the wrong traveler to mess with."
After crossing into this world, Kaito discovered a powerful Cheat.
That is the Fairy System!
Host: Kaito
Abilities:
Armament Haki: 900/1000
Observation Haki: 900/1000
Conqueror's Haki: 700/1000
Special Ability:
Sage Body: 950/1000 (primary ability)
Progress points can be gained through training or battles.
Remarks: Once the Sage Body progress bar is full, it will advance by one level, significantly enhancing physical durability, combat skills, and recovery. Additionally, Kaito will receive a chance for a special lottery.
Unlocked Features:
Sage Eye: Not enabled.
(Requires advancement of Sage Body to unlock.)
Bind Nine Tails: Not enabled.
(A Devil Fruit is required to unlock.)
Abilities Overview:
Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki were granted to Kaito through the novice gift pack provided by the Fairy System.
The system directly transmitted perfect training methods into Kaito's mind. After a year of rigorous training, his Armament and Observation Haki are just shy of reaching the advanced level (1000/1000).
Conqueror's Haki, which cannot be directly trained, can only improve with enhanced spiritual power, explaining its current level of 700.
Sage Body:
This unique ability is the cornerstone of Kaito's strength after entering this world. Upon crossing dimensions, the system allowed Kaito to choose between Sage Body and Sage Eye.
In Naruto, the Sage Body is a legendary physique, characterized by immense durability, rapid recovery, and mastery over chakra. In this pirate world, these traits have been adapted into physical strength, resilience, and enhanced combat skills. Chakra functions as a converted energy source, amplifying Kaito's abilities.
Currently, Kaito's physique is comparable to the copper-skinned, iron-boned durability of a young Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom). Bullets are ineffective, and even cannon fire barely leaves a scratch. His resilience rivals that of users of Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits, with the capacity for rapid recovery and endurance.
With each advancement of Sage Body, his physique, resilience, and combat prowess will strengthen further. He eagerly anticipates reaching the next stage, as it promises even greater enhancements and a chance at the mysterious special reward provided by the Fairy System.
Sage Eye:
The Sage Eye, akin to the Rinnegan from Naruto, is an extremely powerful ocular ability. While it remains locked, Kaito understands its potential for granting earth-shattering powers, such as control over gravity, summoning creatures, and mastery of advanced techniques.
Choosing Sage Body over Sage Eye was a calculated decision. In the world of pirates, survival hinges on raw physical prowess and durability, especially when facing adversaries like Kaido or Admirals. Without a strong physique, Kaito knew he risked being overpowered or killed instantly.
Nine Tails Binding:
The system has hinted at binding the Nine Tails, one of the most destructive entities from Naruto. However, the binding requires a Devil Fruit, a rare and highly sought-after treasure in the One Piece world.
Kaito is determined to find a Devil Fruit during his adventures at sea. Successfully binding Nine Tails would grant him unparalleled destructive power and a massive boost in strength.

Current Scene:
Standing at the bow of his ship, Kaito clutched a blade tightly in his hand, his sharp gaze fixed on the pirate vessel ahead.
The Fairy System chimed softly in his mind, tracking his progress and urging him forward.
With a deep breath, he leaped into the air, landing gracefully on the pirate ship's deck.
"Time to test just how far I've come," Kaito murmured as the pirates turned to face him, unaware of the storm they were about to face.
