Fourteen years ago, Kevin, who had just arrived in this world a year earlier, finally understood his situation and realized that this world was not the Middle Ages but the world of One Piece when...

A swarm of maggots arrived.

God Valley, this was Kevin's birthplace and is now a place that has vanished without a trace.

The entire population of God Valley, along with about one hundred thousand slaves brought by the Celestial Dragons, had only five hundred survivors, saved by Uncle Bear.

A survival rate of 0.5% was something even the one-year-old baby Kevin encountered.

As for the reason... It was because the Celestial Dragons chose this place for their triennial study trip, holding a deadly competition with the people of God Valley and the slaves as their prey.

Such an absurd reason led to the entire island being reduced to ashes afterwards due to the need for erasure.

If it weren't for Aunt Ginny leaking the news two weeks in advance, if it weren't for the chaos following the arrival of the Rocks Pirates, if it weren't for Uncle Bear consuming the Paw-Paw Fruit at the last moment...

Then perhaps I wouldn’t be here now; I would have long been pierced by a long knife and turned into a so-called captured rabbit worth ten points.

Bartholomew Kuma, one of the future Seven Warlords of the Sea. After rescuing the five hundred people from God Valley, he raised Kevin alongside Ginny in the Kingdom of Sorbet in the South Sea.

For Kevin, these two people are incredibly important in his life.

Having seen the latest chapter of One Piece before crossing over, he knew the future of Uncle Bear and Ginny.

Ten years later, Ginny, now the commander of the Revolutionary Army's Eastern Army, would be captured by a certain Celestial Dragon.

She would then be subjected to some kind of experiment by Saint Satan, contracting an incurable disease called Azure Scale, which would also be passed on to the child brought down from Mary Geoise... Joely Bonney.

Thus, a series of tragedies would be triggered.

For Kevin, changing the future ten years later might not be difficult; he could avoid it by keeping an eye on Ginny or canceling the rendezvous operation.

But the premise... encountering the Celestial Dragons was truly just a coincidence.

In God Valley, after Uncle Bear ate the Paw-Paw Fruit, he had a conversation with Saint Satan.

Later, at just nine years old, Uncle Bear started to save people, but how he left is unclear to Kevin.

The disease of Azure Scale appeared due to some experiment, which brings even more unknowns into the mix.

...

Just as the sky began to brighten slightly, a yellow cloud raced across the horizon back to Lasagap Town.

Kevin's shadow clone had returned to the dormitory in the middle of the night and greeted people as usual, without any abnormalities.

After having a meal in the cafeteria and greeting Colonel Romi, he took a document and boarded a naval ship at the port.

Lasagap Town isn't far from the special passage, and since the merchant convoy needed to queue while the navy did not, they arrived at Roguetown, located at the foot of Reverse Mountain, four days later.

Four days later, at Roguetown port.

By this time, numerous warships had already docked here.

It seemed that even if he surrendered, the World Government and the Navy remained extremely vigilant regarding Roger's execution.

There were many people...

Those watching the excitement and those who had come specially, along with the navy marching down the street, made Roguetown the focal point of the world's attention.

...

At the Roguetown Navy branch.

After submitting the document, Kevin met one of Colonel Romi's connections, a Vice Admiral named Kuzan, who wore an eye patch and sunglasses.

This connection was indeed significant...

Along with Admiral Zefa, who currently served as an elite instructor at headquarters, if Kuzan was involved, then two generations of admiral support were secured.

"Kevin?"

"Here! Private Kevin from the 80th Branch of the West Sea."

Kuzan nodded: "Good presence. I heard you like to execute pirates and applied for this execution of Roger; can you tell me why?"

As he spoke, Kuzan set the document down and looked over: "You should know well that Roger, known as the Pirate King, has not had his other crew members captured yet. Under these circumstances, the executioner is very likely to face retaliation afterwards. He is not the same as the pirate crew you encountered in the West Sea!"

Kevin replied, "If I were to fear the unknown, then all my deceased relatives would not rest easy..."

As his words fell, Kuzan slightly raised his head and scrutinized the fifteen-year-old boy introduced by his friend.

As one of his contemporaries, Bartholomew, that guy was not just a frog at the bottom of the well in the West Sea; only those who could be called monsters by him were worth his investigation.

After all, six years ago in the elite class at headquarters, he was the only one who could be regarded as a monster.

"Kuzan, that is my name."

"Also, I’ve submitted a report recommending you as the executioner; the execution is scheduled for three days later. And three days from now, I will stay on this island for another week."

Kevin looked over in confusion.

Kuzan continued: "I believe you’ve seen that there are many people here in Roguetown to watch the execution, including many notorious pirates, and there are quite a few strong ones."

"The execution of the Pirate King Roger is meant to intimidate the increasing number of pirates; the higher-ups want them to observe the execution. However, this puts you in danger."

After the execution, as an anonymous nobody who executed the Pirate King Roger, who knows how many people would want Kevin's head.

Kuzan wanted to see, to see if this little guy, referred to as a monster by his contemporaries, could survive.

...

In the temporary residence, Kevin stood by the window looking out at the street, contemplating some matters.

At twenty-five, Kuzan, who had not yet experienced the Ohara incident, still embodied burning justice rather than lazy justice.

As for the Roger Pirates...

Whether it was Rayleigh or Jabba, after learning everything in Laugh Tale, they respected Roger's choice.

So after Roger's execution, what he needed to face was merely a few pirates wanting to make a name for themselves by taking his head.

At that time, Roger's soul would enter the prison, and to quickly extract his evil value, only the cell in Passage One could achieve this.

Passage One, rather than being called a cell, was more appropriately termed a dormitory.

The benefits of executing Roger in his plan were not limited to just the evil value.

Additionally... at this moment, Roguetown was gathering a bunch of formidable characters.

Future Seven Warlords, Four Emperors, and the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Finding Drago would not be easy, and to be safe, he would need his shadow clone to be visible.

"I need to go out for a walk."

Kevin tidied up his things, then left the branch, inquiring about the largest tavern in Roguetown, and went straight there.

...

Meanwhile, Kuzan, who had begun to observe Kevin, was a bit stunned to learn that the first thing the kid did after organizing his things was to go drinking.

This little guy... does he not understand what I meant?
