Seafaring: Artificial Dragon Fruit, Seeking Training from Golden Lion

Ryan transmigrates into the world of One Piece and wakes up in the middle of the Punk Hazard explosion. While fleeing for his life, he grabs a strange fruit and stuffs it into his mouth. It is Vegapunk's unfinished artificial Dragon Fruit. The next moment, he turns into a pink little dragon and rides a cloud of flame out of that hell.

But apart from flying, the fruit can't do anything. Starving and dizzy, he plummets onto an island in the sky. Looking up, he sees Golden Lion Shiki puffing on a cigar and looking down at him. "So it's just a little bug."

The Golden Lion leaves him with one order: "Survive until tomorrow morning and you can stay. If you don't, you'll feed the beasts."

The next day, Ryan is thrown into an arena to face two ferocious beasts injected with "IQ." His scales are torn to shreds, his hind leg is bitten through, and blood covers the ground. The instant their fangs press against his throat, Ryan goes berserk. He stops dodging and charges at them like a real beast, biting and tearing with his claws, willing to trade his life for theirs.

Standing in the stands, the Golden Lion slowly smiles. "Now you're starting to look the part."

With the artificial Dragon Fruit and swordsmanship personally taught by the Golden Lion, he will survive and become a true powerhouse in this sea where the strong prey on the weak.
