ONE PIECE: THE GREAT VOYAGE

This Is Actually the World of One Piece?

The salty sea breeze drifted gently along the coast, carrying the scent of seawater.

Caesar sat on the pristine shore, eyes closed, lost in meditation. He had been reborn in this world, though he didn't know exactly where. The sea was impossibly clear, and the island had an air of familiarity that tugged at his memories.

Ever since his soul merged with the young Caesar's, something remarkable had occurred. His consciousness had strengthened, growing more refined, and with it, he had awakened Kenbunshoku Haki—Observation Haki.

At first, Caesar mistook this ability for some kind of cheat skill, a "golden finger" given to him as a gift by fate. Over the past six months, through relentless training, he had honed his body and sharpened his awareness. His Haki had expanded, allowing him to perceive his surroundings in astonishing detail.

His range of perception grew larger and clearer. At first, he could only "see" a few hundred meters around him. Now, even with his eyes closed, he could observe movements up to three kilometers away—through walls, through obstacles, as if he were omniscient.

As Caesar continued meditating on the beach, snippets of conversation filtered into his awareness:

"Uncle Cro, walking around shirtless again?"

"Ronan's spying on the girl next door in the bath again. I gotta say, though… she's got a figure that's almost criminal. Ahem..."

"Wait, why is Green running toward the beach? He's not coming for me, is he?"

Caesar frowned slightly but didn't bother opening his eyes. He remained still, focusing on his surroundings.

Then, he heard something different.

"Caesar! Caesar, hurry! Something's wrong!"

Green's voice carried urgency, but Caesar remained calm. He knew children in this world were physically stronger than those in his previous life. Running nearly ten kilometers from the village to the beach was nothing for them.

When Green reached him, panting but unshaken, Caesar slowly stood up and gave him a knowing look.

"What is it this time?" he asked, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Did someone's pig have a difficult birth? Or did a rooster lay an egg?"

Green looked momentarily startled. "How do you always know these things? It's freaky."

Caesar chuckled inwardly. Because I saw it with my Haki…

Green shook his head. "No, no, this is different! We found something weird—a piece of fruit, but not just any fruit. It has these strange patterns on it, and it looks… kinda delicious. We figured you might know what it is."

Caesar's expression shifted. His instincts flared.

A fruit with strange patterns?

Without another word, he closed his eyes and extended his Observation Haki toward the village.

His vision honed in on the object in question—an exotic fruit, its surface covered in intricate swirling designs. It vaguely resembled a mango but had an unnatural appearance.

Then, something happened.

One of the children, unable to resist curiosity, took a bite.

The moment the fruit touched his tongue, the boy's face twisted in disgust. His body convulsed, his limbs morphing into claws, his once smooth face suddenly sprouting fur.

In a matter of seconds, he transformed—his body expanding, his muscles tensing, his small frame now resembling a saber-toothed tiger.

Caesar's breath caught in his throat.

A Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

It hit him like a thunderbolt.

This wasn't just an ordinary world.

This was the world of One Piece.

[2] Spiritual Events: The Whole Town in a Coma!

A fruit that grants inhuman powers… there was no doubt about it.

This was a Devil Fruit.

Caesar clenched his fists. His ability to "see" distant places wasn't some cheat skill—it was Kenbunshoku Haki. And now, he was sure of it.

He quickly sorted through his thoughts. In One Piece, Haki was categorized into three types:

Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki): Heightened perception, allowing one to sense others and even glimpse into the future.

Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki): Strengthens the body and allows one to strike Logia users.

Haoshoku Haki (Conqueror's Haki): A rare power possessed by only one in a million people, capable of overwhelming others through sheer willpower.

Caesar had unknowingly awakened Kenbunshoku Haki, and now, witnessing a Devil Fruit in action confirmed his suspicions.

This world wasn't just dangerous—it was ruled by strength.

The weak have no place here.

Crocodile had once said it: In this world, being weak is a sin.

Caesar and Green sprinted back to the village, their feet pounding against the earth. By the time they arrived, chaos had erupted.

The newly transformed saber-toothed tiger boy, Brad, was growling menacingly at another child—Neil, the self-proclaimed leader of the group.

Neil had always been a bully, using his size and strength to push the others around. Ironically, Brad had been one of his favorite victims.

But now, things had changed.

Brad, no longer a frail little boy, bared his fangs. His primal instincts surged through him, his claws digging into the dirt. He had tasted power for the first time.

And he wasn't going to be bullied anymore.

Caesar observed from the sidelines, thoughts racing.

If Brad had truly eaten a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, then his strength, speed, and endurance had already begun increasing.

A dangerous smirk played at Caesar's lips.

The weak have no place here.

He had to get stronger.

He had to survive.

And to do that, he needed to master his Haki.

Because in this world—power was everything.
