Chapter 1: Summoning the Raptorex
Sea Circle Calendar, Year 1500.
East Blue.
Slaia Sea.
A nameless island stood quietly in the middle of this sea, its surface covered with towering trees and teeming with colossal beasts.
Yet this stretch of ocean was remote and deserted, far from any trace of human civilization.
"Ah~"
A faint groan echoed across the lonely island.
On the sandy shore, a young man with silver hair slowly opened his eyes, clutching his head in pain.
"Where… am I…?"
Tang Ze winced as he pushed himself up and scanned his surroundings.
When he saw the endless expanse of ocean before him, he froze.
"Who the hell brought me to the seaside…?" he muttered blankly.
He distinctly remembered celebrating his girlfriend's 60th birthday—she had even planned to gift him a villa.
[Ding! Dinosaur Summoning System activated!]
[Reward: One Random Summon Opportunity, One Designated Summon Opportunity.]
Two mechanical voices rang out in his mind.
Immediately, a translucent screen appeared before his eyes.
[Host]: Jiang Qize
[Age]: 18
[Strength]: Normal
[Beli]: 0
[Summon][Enhance][Synthesize]
"This… I've transmigrated?"
Tang Ze noticed that his name had changed, and when he saw the word Beli on the screen, realization dawned.
Taking a deep breath, he tapped on [Summon].
Two options appeared before him.
[Random Summon]: 1,000,000 Beli (Free)
[Designated Summon]: 10,000,000 Beli (Free)
"So it really is… the world of One Piece!"
Tang Ze—now Jiang Qize—let out a long breath, though his expression was anything but cheerful.
He'd been on the verge of reaching the peak of his life back on Earth, only to get thrown into another world. All his years of hard work wasted—how could he possibly be happy about that?
"Well, since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Let's just hope I don't die too soon—and that this system actually helps me out."
He knew all too well how terrifying the power levels in this world could be.
A single slash that could cut hundreds of meters, quakes that shattered space itself—if any of that touched him, he'd be reduced to dust.
He shifted his focus back to the summoning interface and tapped Random Summon.
As his finger landed, a circular wheel appeared, divided into narrow sectors, each marked with the image of a different dinosaur.
The pointer at the center began to spin rapidly.
Ding!
The pointer stopped—on a blue-colored dinosaur.
[Ding! You have obtained: Raptorex!]
The electronic voice sounded again.
Before Jiang Qize, a massive dinosaur materialized.
It stood nearly three meters tall and stretched about ten meters long.
Its powerful hind legs dug into the ground, while each forelimb bore three sharp, hooked claws.
"Rooaaar!"
A deafening roar burst from its fanged jaws, the sheer force of it shaking the air as a ferocious aura surged outward.
[Name]: Raptorex
[Type]: Carnivorous Dinosaur
[Abilities]:
— Agile Dexterity (Possesses exceptional reflexes and speed)
— Prey Tracking (Once it locks onto prey, escape is impossible)
[Power Level]: Marine Headquarters Lieutenant!
"A lieutenant-level beast? Not bad at all."
Jiang Qize grinned.
Anyone strong enough to reach the rank of Lieutenant in the Marine Headquarters would easily qualify as an officer in most local branches—after all, not everyone there earned their rank through strength.
[Ding! You have gained one-tenth of the Raptorex's attributes!]
Another notification followed.
Buzz!
A surge of power flooded into his body. Pain coursed through his muscles as his face twisted in agony.
"Ah—!"
Cracking sounds rippled from within him; his whole body burned as his muscles tightened and expanded slightly.
Within ten seconds, the pain faded.
"Phew…" His breathing steadied as his expression relaxed.
"So that's how it strengthens me?"
Jiang Qize clenched his now-empowered fist, the earlier pain forgotten. A bright smile crossed his face.
This feeling of power… was incredible.
