Chapter 1: Rebirth in the World of Pirate KingCreak, creak...Amidst the violent shaking and the sounds of wood colliding, Marcus groggily opened his eyes.What appeared before Marcus was pitch blackness, and he could clearly feel that the place where he was located was shaking incessantly for some unknown reason.Before he could carefully observe his surroundings, the pain radiating throughout his entire body forced Marcus to clench his teeth to keep from crying out. Being in a strange place, and in such a dark environment, compelled Marcus to act with caution.Although deep in the darkness, after adjusting for a while, Marcus was still able to vaguely see his surroundings.The current Marcus was sleeping in a hammock. In the entire room, there was more than just his own hammock; although the exact number was unclear, there were at least ten or more. Scattered around were some wine bottles that looked like beer bottles, as well as some cold weapons resembling Japanese swords.Seeing that there was no one around, Marcus finally breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming there was no danger, Marcus couldn't help but wonder what this place was.As an orphan, Marcus could be considered a very hardworking person. Having experienced the warmth and coldness of the world since childhood, Marcus knew the darkness of the world better than anyone.Nineteen-year-old Marcus was a very outstanding person in the eyes of others. Growing up in an orphanage, Marcus was different from other orphans. Marcus started earning money outside from a young age, whether it was collecting trash, putting up small advertisements, or doing manual labor; it could be said that as long as it was something that could make money, Marcus had tried it.And Marcus did not earn money for his own enjoyment, but rather saved it bit by bit for tuition. Just like that, step by step, Marcus, through putting in ten times the effort of an ordinary person, was admitted to Yanjing University, and as the top scorer in the college entrance examination at that.Marcus, who loved to travel, used the money he earned from his summer job to come to the undeveloped area of Western Yunnan. In such a forest that had not been damaged by human activity, Marcus wandered alone in this forest that was full of danger, yet possessed countless beautiful scenes.However, being alone in such a primeval forest was extremely dangerous. Even though Marcus had prepared for a long time for this, in the face of natural disasters, human power is always insignificant.As it happened, Marcus encountered several days of torrential rain, and all the roads became muddy and impassable. Originally, Marcus wanted to wait for the road to dry before setting off. But having been trapped by the heavy rain for too long, Marcus had to set off early, heading towards the nearest town to resupply.However, after these days of heavy rain, some hillsides had long since become extremely soft. While struggling on the road, the unlucky Marcusencountered a mudslide. Under the impact of the mudslide, Marcus was swept into a large river.Logically speaking, encountering a mudslide and falling into a fast-flowing river, in such a situation, one should undoubtedly die. Being able to survive could be said to be lower than the probability of winning the lottery.But looking at the situation, he had indeed survived, and although his whole body ached, his internal organs were not injured. This was completely contrary to reason.A loud "bang" rang out.Marcus immediately felt the surrounding environment shake violently, and he, lying on the hammock, was thrown off.Falling onto the sturdy wooden planks without any protection, Marcus landed flat on his back, and the pain in his body became even more intense. And that wasn't all; those bottles were rolling aimlessly on the floor, and quite a few of them smashed into him.With no other choice, Marcus had to hide behind an overturned wooden table; only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.At this moment, Marcus suddenly realized a very serious problem, because while wiping the sweat from his head, Marcus discovered that his head was different from before; his head had become smaller.Realizing something was wrong, Marcusimmediately looked at his body. Only then did he discover that his body had become smaller, and he was wearing clothes he had never seen before.As an orphan who could only rely on himself, Marcus's willpower was much stronger than an ordinary person's, and he instantly calmed his heart.After some thought, Marcus immediately understood that he had been Rebirth; only Rebirthcould explain it.How could he, who should have died, still be alive, and his body had turned into that of a child!After thinking everything through, the fear in Marcus's heart vanished instantly, replaced by excitement and thrill. Something like this, which only happens in novels, had actually fallen upon him.At this moment, a powerful stream of memories suddenly invaded his brain. Marcus immediately felt as if his brain was about to explode; he quickly covered his head and kept rolling on the ground.He didn't know how long it had been—it could have been an instant, or it could have been several tens of minutes—before his brain finally calmed down.After accepting these memories, Marcus finally understood the whole sequence of events.The person he possessed was an unlucky soul; this guy was a ten-year-old child. He originally lived in a seaside town, but a few days ago, a group of powerful pirates came to his town.They killed quite a few people, and this person's parents were among them. He was even unluckier; he was captured by a few pirates and taken onto their pirate ship to do dirty and tiring work.Yesterday, he accidentally broke a bottle of wine belonging to the Captain of this pirate ship, and as a result, he was angrily whipped a dozen times by the Captain, and at the final moment of death, he was possessed by him.The place where Marcus was currently staying was a pirate ship, which was why Marcus felt the surroundings shaking incessantly when he woke up.After accepting all the memories, Marcus finally understood that the world he had been Rebirth into was actually the world of the Pirate King.As a nineteen-year-old teenager, how could Marcusnot know the world's most popular manga for teenagers — "Pirate King".Although as an orphan, Marcus had not read the entire "Pirate King" manga. But in his previous life, when he was working part-time in some bookstores, he had secretly read quite a bit of it. He might not be clear on the detailed content, but he was still clear on the general timeline and character relationships.He had originally planned to finish reading "Pirate King" in university. But he didn't expect that he would actually be Rebirth into this world, which made Marcus feel both happy and sad.What he was happy about was that the world of the Pirate King had many thrilling adventures, as well as the Devil Fruit that could grant powerful abilities after being eaten, and many very beautiful women.But what made Marcus sad was that this was an illogical manga world, and in such a world, no matter how strange things were, they could happen. And this world was too terrifying; there was no telling how many powerful people there were.Powerful Admirals, the Four Emperors among pirates, the Shichibukai, the Gorosei, the Celestial Dragons who ruled the world, revolutionaries, the three great Divine Artifacts that could destroy the world at will, and many, many hidden experts and ambitious people...To live well in this world, one must possess powerful strength; otherwise, one might die if not careful.Although this world was extremely dangerous, it was much better than his previous life; this was a world where opportunity and crisis coexisted.As long as he was willing to work hard, why couldn't he carve out a place for himself in this world and see what the One Piece that Pirate King Roger spoke of really was.UU Reading welcomes readers to visit and read.
