One Piece: I Slapped Imu

On my first day after transmigrating, I slapped the King of the World.

I woke up in front of the Empty Throne, facing Imu, the ultimate boss of the pirate world.

No System, no golden finger, just a transmigrator’s instincts: I swung my hand and slapped them.

As the sharp crack of the slap rang out, the Holy Knights chased me down. I leapt off the Red Line, only to be picked up by Pirate King Roger and taken aboard his ship.

“Kid, there’s something in your eyes… just like mine.” Roger puffed on his cigarette and took me on as an apprentice.

From then on, I traveled with Roger to Laugh Tale, witnessed the truth of the Void Century, and learned that twenty years later, I would bring everything to an end.

Roger turned himself in, and the Great Pirate Era began.

The World Government secretly hunted me down. The Revolutionary Army rescued me, and in the end, I set sail on my own.

I recruited crewmates, formed a pirate crew, and raised a hammer-and-sickle skull flag that fluttered in the wind. The Republican Pirates’ goal was to overthrow the Celestial Dragons and create a free world where everyone was equal.

At the Paramount War, I rescued Ace from Akainu’s fist and sealed his fate with the D-mark, making the world believe he was dead.

Two years later, I returned alongside Ace, who had awakened Conqueror's Haki, and Nika Luffy. Had Ace eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit? No, Ace was still alive, and the Flame-Flame Fruit was still inside him.

“Luffy, want to take on Imu together?”

“Let’s do it!”

In front of the Empty Throne, the three of us joined forces and recreated the scene from my dream on the first day I transmigrated.

This time, I wouldn’t wake up from the dream.

That slap would bring a thousand years of rule to an end.

Lin Bei, a level-ten scholar of the Pirate King, transmigrated to the pirate world and landed on his knees right in front of the Empty Throne in Mary Geoise. Before he could even figure out what was going on
