One Piece: Taking Little Yu Under My Wing from the Start, the Whole Crew Ascends to the Four Emperors

Sami transmigrates into the world of One Piece, and the System arrives: a modified version of the Twelve Talismans. But it takes him twenty-three years to train the Rat Talisman to 86 percent. Then he meets Luffy, and his progress bar shoots up as if he's taken stimulants. The Chosen One's halo really is something.

The Straw Hat Pirates set sail. Sami uses the Rat Talisman to bring living things to life, stockpile supplies, and play nanny, while casually stashing a statue of Kenpachi Zaraki in the ship's hold as a secret weapon. Luffy is still Luffy, grinning carefree at the bow and shouting, "I'm going to be the Pirate King!" Meanwhile, Sami stands behind him, planning how to light up all twelve Talismans one by one on the Grand Line.

But the world won't wait for them to slowly grow stronger. Crocodile is after Pluton, CP9 is targeting Robin, and a Marine Admiral could come crashing down at any moment. The Dragon Talisman can blow Crocodile away, the Tiger Talisman can wreak havoc across Skypiea, and the Horse Talisman's immortality and the Dog Talisman's eternal healing are all still grayed out on the System panel. Looking at Luffy's carefree grin, Sami silently grips the Rat Talisman tighter. When every Talisman lights up, the Straw Hat Pirates won't just be after the title of Pirate King. They'll claim a seat among the Four Emperors too.
