One Piece: The Rise of the Bandit King, Awakening the Clear-Clear Fruit

If you ask who the wildest man in the East Blue is, it's the bandit king Higuma of Mount Xigu. He took on a Four Emperors member with a bottle of booze, and had the future Pirate King under his heel. My bounty was eight million, and I could take on the heavens, the earth, and even the air itself. If not for that Lord of the Coast, the Pirate King would have ended in four episodes.

"That's right, he's talking about my old man, whose badass status is off the charts."

While rewatching One Piece for the nth time, Clay was unlucky enough to transmigrate into the world of One Piece and become the son of the bandit king, Higuma.

"A cannon-fodder character like you would never make it past the second episode!"

"Oda, you're just a manga artist. What the hell do you know about One Piece?"

"All right, all right, I'll give you this Clear-Clear Fruit!"

"You're giving me a cannon-fodder fruit? Are you kidding me? But I'm the bandit king, with eighteen years of sailing experience!"

The Gum-Gum Fruit? Forget it, you can have it back.

Don't know Haki? No problem, I'll teach you.

Need to save your brother? Leave it to me.

Want to fight the Red-Haired pirates? I've been itching for it.

Want to sneak into the women's bathhouse? I'll take you there!

Just relax and be the Pirate King. I'll take care of everything else.

This era shall be known as the Bandit King!
