(PS: This novel has a light harem, meaning there are no sex scenes. I feel it's a bit strange to write about picking up girls in the world of One Piece, where love is already rare, and Tomato's censorship is dddd.)
“Hey, come be a blacksmith on my ship!”
That day, the boy wearing a Straw Hat extended his hand to Lin En.
“Okay.”
Without any hesitation, Lin En stepped onto the pirate ship.
Lin En is a transmigrator, and the world he is currently in is the world of One Piece.
Inside the Sea Restaurant Baratie.
“How about a discount? Work for a week?” Luffy was negotiating with the restaurant owner, Zeff.
“Chef’s Heavy Drop!” Luffy was sent flying by the restaurant owner, so it seemed the negotiation failed.
Lin En was currently playing with his anvil and small hammer, already used to such situations.
He hadn't watched One Piece carefully before transmigrating; he only had a rough idea of the plot. But even so, he knew his Captain was an idiot.
Hawkeye should be arriving soon, and his opportunity would come then.
Although Lin En was an ordinary person before transmigrating, when he crossed into this world, he merged with Ornn’s template from league of legends and unlocked the Blacksmith System.
The Blacksmith System, as the name suggests, allows him to act as a blacksmith, forging various armor, weapons, and equipment. However, all this equipment is from league of legends.
As long as he can impress powerful people in the One Piece world with league of legends equipment, he can obtain gold coins from the System Shop to forge more equipment. Defeating powerful opponents can also earn gold coins, but the difficulty is much greater than simply impressing them.
Lin En needed to find a way to impress Hawkeye. Hawkeye was basically the strongest person he could encounter in the early stages of One Piece, and he was also very measured in his actions.
No matter how strong the people in this world are, they can’t be stronger than those on Valoran Continent, right? There are various gods and demigods there, and divine artifacts are incredibly powerful.
He should have a chance to try for these gold coins.
While he was talking to the System, a gunshot rang out from outside the restaurant. A tired man with blood flowing from his head walked into the Baratie.
“Give me something to eat, anything.”
“This is a restaurant, isn’t it?”
This should be Gin, the combatant of the Krieg Pirates.
Krieg, the leader of the Krieg Pirates, was the most brutal pirate in this sea area.
Isn't this just a small elite monster from the Novice Village ?
To be honest, Lin En didn't like pirates. There were too few people like Luffy among the pirates in this world.
Most of the pirates he had encountered were disgusting. Even in the early stages of unlocking the system, he had considered joining the Marine.
However, becoming a Marine would severely limit his freedom in the later stages, and he also disliked the feeling of being controlled.
For most pirates, 'thief' is the primary descriptor, while 'sea' is irrelevant.
Not everyone has a dream of conquering the seas; the vast majority are insidious and selfish individuals.
When Roger died, his words gave these insidious individuals an excuse to unleash their ugly desires.
“This is a restaurant for customers. Pirates without money, get lost.” Due to the bad reputation of the Krieg Pirates, Gin was thrown out by Patty, the comically-faced chef in the restaurant.
Watching the plot unfold outside, Lin En had no desire to stay inside the restaurant.
“Our Captain seems to be working as a handyman to pay off a debt. I’ll go take a look.”
After greeting Usopp, Zoro, and Nami, who were eating at the table, Lin En went out to watch the show.
He walked to the door and saw Sanji also coming over with a plate, and Sanji looked at him, also preparing to go out.
“Are the customers satisfied with the dishes just now?”
“The food was incredibly delicious, Chef.”
Sanji’s cooking skills were indeed undeniable. Lin En, who didn't particularly like seafood, even had an appetite today.
Sanji bowed slightly to Lin En, then carried the plate over to Gin, who had just been thrown out.
“Eat.”
The disheveled man, covered in injuries, tearfully and snot-filled, ate everything on the plate clean.
Hiss, did he just eat his snot? He must have eaten it, right? Why didn't he wipe it with a tissue?
Lin En, suffering from OCD, just wanted to hand Gin a tissue right now.
It seems everyone in One Piece is like this. Every time they cry, tears and snot flow uncontrollably. He'll have to prepare more tissues in the future.
“Lin En, look. I found a good chef.” Luffy popped up from behind Lin En, pointing at Sanji with a big smile on his face.
“Hurry up, Captain. If you get him to join us, we won’t lack food.” Lin En didn't trust anything about Luffy except his protagonist abilities.
The ability to defeat bosses and the ability to recruit teammates.
“Alright, wait for my good news.” Luffy excitedly ran over.
Then he was decisively rejected. Everyone here is tsundere; they need to be forced to come by their own people.
Watching the three distant figures begin to talk about their ideals, Gin also began to explain the dangers of the Grand Line to Luffy.
Lin En had only watched a small portion of the early One Piece; he only had a vague idea of the plot after Crocodile was defeated.
Although Gin made it sound very dangerous, the Grand Line is truly just a beginner's level.
Back at the table in the restaurant, Zoro, Usopp, and Nami were still eating.
“Our Captain is going to recruit someone again.”
“Ah, who is he recruiting?” Zoro and Usopp were still devouring their food, only Nami was curious about this matter.
“The chef who cooks for you.”
“Then you must get him onto our ship.”
“Luffy, put some effort into it.”
As expected, at this point, Usopp and Zoro also stopped their movements. They really loved this meal.
“Vice Captain, aren’t you going to help the Captain?” Nami raised an eyebrow at Lin En.
“Yeah, yeah.” Usopp spoke even while eating.
“Go help Luffy quickly.” Zoro also gave his approval.
“You guys, if I go again, there won’t be anything left!”
Lin En saw through their trick. When he left earlier, everyone was eating gracefully, but after he came back, the food on the table was almost gone.
“Ehehe.” Nami playfully blinked, and the three, whose intentions were exposed, stopped pretending and resumed their devouring mode.
“They’re really like starving ghosts reincarnated.” Lin En didn't bother to compete with them anymore; he had something to do now.
According to the plot development, Krieg should be arriving soon to cause trouble, and Hawkeye is also coming. It’s time to prepare.
“System.”
He brought up the virtual panel, which displayed his current personal information.
