One Piece: First, Take Out the Celestial Dragons, Then Grab a Good Meal

While other people transmigrate with a System and a golden finger, shining brighter than anyone else, the first thing Matthew does after transmigrating is figure out how to fill his stomach.

He starts with a Spring-Spring Fruit.

With no special bloodline and no master, an organization draped in the guise of "justice" is undoubtedly the best place to train.

He learns the Six Powers, trains his Haki, teases Kizaru, and curses Akainu.

Years later, Matthew, the top graduate of the Marines' training camp, officially sets out on his own.

Then one day, his superior gives him the most "glorious" assignment of all: escort a Celestial Dragon away from Mary Geoise.

Looking at the "master" in front of him, who wears a bubble helmet and orders him around, Matthew runs a hand over his body, made of springs.

"Keep acting like that and I'll send you flying."

So, out over the deep sea, an "accident" befalls the mission, and the outstanding graduate heroically "dies in action."

At the other end of the world, a man leaves a barbecue restaurant in the Sabaody Archipelago, having eaten his fill. He stretches beneath the setting sun.

"Ah, now this is the right way to start a new life."

This book is dedicated to everyone who wants to flip the table and enjoy a good meal by the sea.

(The pacing is a little slow, so I hope you'll bear with me.)

(The author set the year last year to 1541 on the Sea Circle Calendar, but the setting from 1520 to 1522 has been used for too long, so for now I'm using the Paramount War-era setting of 1520 on the Sea Circle Calendar.)
