“Reincarnated as Luffy whit a System”

Somewhere in the depths of the New World…

A lone ship drifted in the dead of night, its sails torn, its deck scarred from countless battles. No crew manned it—only a single figure stood at the helm, staring at the horizon with glowing red eyes that no longer flickered with System influence.

Black Dawn lived.

But he was no longer the man he once was.

DING!

[System Error: No Core Detected.]

Warning: All directives lost. Reset protocol impossible.

Status: Free.

The voice that had once dictated his every move was gone. The constant pressure, the calculations, the missions—all erased when Akira destroyed the System.

For the first time in two lifetimes, he was alone.

And he didn't know who he was anymore.

The Last System User

The Rogue System had chosen him before it had chosen Akira. Unlike Akira—who had been thrown into Luffy's body unexpectedly—Black Dawn had made a choice.

In his past life, he had accepted the System's power willingly.

He had believed in the System's vision. A world of perfect balance, controlled destiny, a game where only the strong survived.

But Akira had proven him wrong.

The System had never been justice. It had been a cage.

And now, that cage was broken.

Black Dawn clenched his fists, staring at the fractured sea beneath him.

If he was no longer a System User… then who was he?

A New Mission

For hours, he stood in silence, letting the weight of the future settle in.

Then, for the first time in years, he did something he never thought he would do.

He laughed.

Not a cruel laugh. Not a victorious laugh.

A real, tired, relieved laugh.

The game was over.

But his story wasn't.

He looked at the Jolly Roger painted on the sail of the stolen ship—a skull with a single crack down its forehead, a symbol of a king without a throne.

He turned to the horizon and whispered to himself:

"If I'm not a player in the System anymore… then I guess it's time I make my own rules."

DING!

[New Quest Activated: "Reclaim Your Fate."]

Objective: Forge a new identity beyond the System.

Bonus Objective: Cross paths with Luffy once again.

Reward: A new beginning.

With a flick of his wrist, Black Dawn turned the ship's wheel, steering toward the heart of the Grand Line.

He had a new goal.

A new adventure.

And for the first time in two lifetimes, he chose it himself.
