Great Ming: I'm the Pirate King, and I Kidnap Zhu Yuanzhang from the Start

He transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty, where he is captured and forced to become a pirate.

While a band of pirates are still waiting to plunder treasure, Zhu Xing has already activated his System. Why look for treasure? I'll just unite the four seas.

But to conquer all those lands, he needs the Ming Dynasty's manpower reserves and a mass migration of its people.

So, during the bitter winter of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Xing finds a nobleman, planning to start by making a deal.

"Old Huang, if you want guns and cannons, you'll have to offer me something worthwhile. With the stuff I've got, I could clean out the entire Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang, traveling incognito, twists his mouth into a sneer. "You don't want beautiful women or money. What do you want? You captured me, so could it be that you want the Ming Empire?"

"That's exactly right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkens. "Fine, I'll come clean. I'm the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xing slaps the table. "I knew it! Then I'll come clean too: I'm the Pirate King!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is furious, but when Zhu Xing removes his disguise, tears stream down the old man's face. "Dear grandson, is that you?"

"Cut the nonsense. I'm rebelling, and even Zhu Di can't stop me!"
