Chapter 1 - He Child Who Carried the Dawn

The End of One Journey

The first thing Leon felt was silence.

Not the peaceful silence of a quiet night.

Not the silence before an adventure.

This was something different.

A complete absence of everything.

No wind.

No heartbeat.

No feeling of his own body.

Leon opened his eyes.

But there was nothing.

A darkness stretched endlessly in every direction.

He tried moving.

Nothing.

He tried speaking.

"Hello?"

His voice traveled through the empty space.

Then disappeared.

A strange calmness filled him.

"So this is death..."

Before he could think further, a small light appeared in front of him.

At first, it was only a small point.

Then it became brighter.

Until a man appeared.

The man looked completely normal.

No divine armor.

No terrifying aura.

Just a relaxed smile.

"You are correct."

Leon looked at him.

"Who are you?"

The man smiled.

"You may call me ROB."

Leon stared.

"Random Omnipotent Being?"

ROB laughed.

"Exactly."

Leon looked around.

"So I died."

"Yes."

There was no sadness in ROB's voice.

Not because he did not care.

But because this was not the end.

It was a beginning.

A New World

ROB lifted his hand.

The darkness disappeared.

A huge image appeared.

An endless ocean.

Thousands of islands.

Ships crossing the seas.

People with strange abilities.

Pirates chasing dreams.

Marines protecting justice.

Ancient mysteries waiting to be discovered.

Leon's eyes widened.

He immediately recognized it.

"No way..."

ROB smiled.

"Yes."

"The world of One Piece."

Leon stepped closer.

He saw famous names.

Legends that changed history.

People who would become monsters.

People who would become heroes.

A world where freedom was worth fighting for.

ROB looked at him.

"You always wanted adventure."

Leon smiled.

"Who wouldn't?"

ROB nodded.

"Then you will receive a chance."

"Three wishes."

The First Wish

Leon did not answer immediately.

He thought.

The One Piece world was not a simple adventure.

It was dangerous.

Even strong people needed allies.

A captain without a crew was just one person.

"I have decided."

ROB waited.

"My first wish..."

Leon looked at the ocean.

"I want sixteen clones."

ROB raised an eyebrow.

"Clones?"

Leon nodded.

"But not copies."

"They will be real humans."

"They will have their own personalities."

"Their own dreams."

"Their own emotions."

ROB listened carefully.

"They will be born on different islands."

"They will experience different lives."

"They will learn different skills."

Leon continued.

"But we will be connected."

"Connected?"

"Memories."

"Knowledge."

"Experience."

"If one learns something, the others can understand it."

"If one grows, the others can learn."

ROB smiled.

"You want a complete crew."

Leon shook his head.

"No."

"I want a family."

For a moment, ROB said nothing.

Then he smiled.

"Most people ask for servants."

"Some ask for armies."

"But you ask for companions."

A golden light surrounded Leon.

SYSTEM MESSAGE WISH ACCEPTED 16 SOUL CONNECTIONS CREATED TOTAL SOULS: 17

ROB explained:

"They will not start beside you."

"They will have their own journeys."

Leon nodded.

"Good."

"Because a person who never struggles cannot become strong."

The Second Wish

ROB smiled.

"Your second wish?"

Leon answered quickly.

"I want a system."

ROB laughed.

"I expected that."

Leon smiled.

"A system that helps us grow."

"Knowledge."

"Training."

"Weapons."

"Information."

"Skills."

"But no free power."

ROB looked surprised.

"You reject instant strength?"

"Yes."

"I want to earn my legend."

The light appeared again.

SYSTEM MESSAGE WISH ACCEPTED SOVEREIGN SYSTEM ACTIVATED

Features:

Knowledge Database Training Support Skill Analysis Weapon Creation Combat Information Growth Tracking

ROB looked at him.

"The system will guide you."

"But your choices will decide your future."

The Third Wish

ROB asked:

"Your final wish."

Leon thought carefully.

The world of One Piece was not just about strength.

Time mattered.

Legends disappeared.

Generations changed.

"I want Pure Gold."

ROB became serious.

"The ability that slows aging?"

"Yes."

"Without side effects."

"I do not want endless life."

"I want time."

"Time to explore."

"Time to meet people."

"Time to see the world change."

ROB smiled.

"A reasonable wish."

SYSTEM MESSAGE WISH ACCEPTED PURE GOLD ACQUIRED System Reward

Before Leon could ask anything else...

ROB raised his hand.

A golden egg appeared.

Leon looked confused.

"What is that?"

"A bonus."

"Because your first wish was not about power."

"It was about creating a family."

The egg cracked.

A small creature emerged.

A serpent.

It looked at Leon.

Then wrapped around his arm.

SYSTEM REWARD PET ACQUIRED

Name:

The Serpent

Potential:

Unknown

Growth:

Infinite

ROB smiled.

"This creature will walk beside you."

"It will become part of your legend."

Rebirth

The light became brighter.

ROB looked at Leon one final time.

"You will be born in an important era."

"Before the Pirate King."

Leon froze.

"Before Roger?"

"Yes."

"You will meet many legends."

ROB smiled.

"And one of them will become your friend."

"Who?"

The answer echoed.

"Rocks D. Xebec."

God Valley

Before the world feared the name...

Before history erased it...

God Valley was alive.

A beautiful island hidden from the world.

Mountains reached the sky.

Forests covered the land.

Ancient ruins slept beneath the ground.

This was the homeland of the Davy Clan.

A clan connected to the mysterious letter:

"D."

They believed:

"Freedom is the greatest treasure."

A storm covered the island.

Thunder shook the sky.

Inside a small house...

A child was born.

The elders looked at him.

The baby opened his eyes.

His name was:

Everyone felt his determination.

They were different people.

But connected.

The Boy Named Rocks

God Valley.

A young boy walked through the village.

Wild hair.

Sharp eyes.

A fearless smile.

Leon saw him.

The boy looked back.

"You are different."

Leon smiled.

"So are you."

The boy laughed.

"My name is Rocks."

"Rocks D. Xebec."

Leon nodded.

"Leon D. Escanor."

Rocks looked at the ocean.

"One day..."

"I will change the world."

Leon looked at the horizon.

"Then I will create a new dawn."

Rocks smiled.

"Are you challenging me?"

Leon laughed.

"Maybe."

From that day...

Two children became friends.

Two dreams were born.

Two legends began.

The world did not know yet...

But God Valley had created two future monsters.

One who wanted to conquer the world.

And one who wanted to bring a new dawn.
