Foosha Village—quiet, simple, and kissed by the salty breeze of the East Blue. Nestled on the edge of Dawn Island in the Goa Kingdom, it was the kind of place where time seemed to drift as lazily as the ocean waves. Wooden houses dotted the shoreline, children laughed as they chased chickens through dusty streets, and the smell of freshly baked bread from Makino's bar mingled with the scent of sea spray.
Valen Rosè stood at the dock, a tall and striking young man of seventeen. With tousled pink hair that caught the sunlight like silk and vivid pink eyes that seemed to shimmer with mischief, he was the kind of handsome that made barmaids giggle and fishermen raise an eyebrow. His lean but athletic frame moved with casual grace, his skin lightly tanned from working and training in the sun.
He wore simple clothes—a short-sleeved white shirt and brown pants. His feet were wrapped in sturdy sandals, and a wooden training sword hung lazily at his hip.
"B-Bye Luffy..." Valen said, forcing a smile and raising a hand as the small Marine ship pulled away from the dock. It felt strange to say goodbye like this—especially to that Luffy.
"Bye Valen!" Luffy called back cheerfully, already standing proudly at the front of the ship. He wore a pristine white Marine jacket over his usual shorts, the iconic straw hat perched confidently on his head. "Shishishishi! I'll definitely put you in prison next time I meet you!"
Valen blinked.
"Hahahahaha! That's the spirit, Luffy!" Garp boomed, grinning from ear to ear as he stood behind his grandson. "You're gonna become a great Marine if you keep that up!"
The ship drifted further into the sea, the salty breeze carrying their laughter until it faded over the horizon.
Valen lowered his hand, exhaled, and muttered under his breath. "I still can't believe it... Luffy becoming a Marine..."
The wind tousled his pink hair as he looked out over the waves, eyes distant. Valen Rosé was not from this world. Not originally.
Back in England, he had been your average loner otaku—well, maybe not average. He had been obsessed with anime, especially One Piece. That series was peak fiction. The adventures, the emotions, the epic fights... but most importantly, the waifus. God, the waifus. Robin, Nami, Hancock, even minor characters like Kalifa—chef's kiss.
So, when he died in his old world and woke up as a baby in the very village where Monkey D. Luffy grew up, it was like a dream. A dream come true.
Or so he thought.
Because this world… this wasn't the One Piece he knew.
Luffy still met Shanks. Still ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi. Shanks even lost his arm to save him, and left him the straw hat with a hopeful smile.
"I hope you're gonna become a great pirate." Shanks had told him warmly.
And what did this universe's Luffy say?
"What? A pirate? No, I am gonna become a Marine! Just like my grandpa!"
The entire Red-Haired crew had been stunned into silence.
'I just gave my dear straw hat to… a future Marine?' Shanks had thought, frozen. He'd wanted to snatch the hat right back—but he stopped himself. Maybe… just maybe, it was fate.
"Shishishishi!" Luffy had laughed. "And when I grow up, I'm gonna chase all of you guys down and bring you to justice!"
Shanks had smiled despite himself. This kid…
And now, years later, that very same Luffy had just sailed off to join the Marines—with Garp proudly at his side.
Valen blinked one last time at the retreating ship, then suddenly straightened his back, clenching a fist.
"Well, that only means I can become the Pirate King more easily!" he exclaimed, a wide, toothy grin blooming across his face.
His voice echoed over the docks, startling a few nearby seagulls.
He'd been declaring that dream since he and Luffy were kids. The two had been rivals in everything—eating contests, tree climbing, fishing, and, most of all, their dreams. Luffy had wanted to be a Marine, while Valen shouted to the whole village that he would become the Pirate King.
That rivalry had been a double-edged sword for Valen. On one hand, it kept his goal sharp. On the other… Luffy was a damn monster. Born with freakish strength, a bottomless stomach, and that classic D.-type willpower. So, Valen had no choice but to train hard every day.
Swordsmanship had become his obsession. Ever since seeing Mihawk slice that giant galleon in half like it was made of paper—he knew that was his path. Cool, composed, and unstoppable. Mihawk was the ideal.
Valen wasn't quite there.
His sword swings were solid, sure. He could slice through thick logs and beat some adults in sparring. But compared to Luffy? Or the real swordsmen of this world?
Yeah… let's just say Valen's talent didn't exactly shine like gold.
He inhaled deeply, letting the salty breeze wash over him, tousling his pink hair.
"Why couldn't I have a cheat like the other reincarnators I always read about in fanfics—"
And then he froze.
Because right before his eyes, a soft chime echoed in the air—and a glowing pink interface blinked into existence.
[The Lust Pirate System has awakened!]
"Lust Pirate System?!" Valen shouted, stumbling back and nearly falling off the dock.
His vibrant pink eyes widened with shock—and quickly filled with unfiltered excitement.
"Is this… my cheat?" he breathed, his heart racing. He felt it—that buzz in his chest, the promise of something more.
[The Lust Pirate System has a total of 5 features: Status, Crew & Harem, Store, Map, and Missions.]
"Oh yes!" Valen exclaimed, grinning ear to ear. "Open my status!"

"So this is my status..." Valen murmured, eyes flicking over the glowing display. He couldn't stop the excitement bubbling up in his chest.
"System, what do those stars mean?"
[Stars are the Lust Pirate System's way of ranking skills and traits.]
[Stars in skills can be increased via training. As your mastery over the sword increases, your Swordsmanship skill will gain more stars. You can check your progress to attain the next star by clicking on the skill's stars.]
[Stars in traits, however, can only be increased via external factors, and not through training.]
"Interesting... so having a handsome trait at 2 stars means I'm really charming, right?" Valen asked, grinning smugly. He'd always been proud of his good looks—ever since he'd seen himself in the mirror in this life.
[Yes. The trait Handsome is possessed only by the most attractive men in the world. Having it at 2★ makes you one of the most handsome men in the entire world.]
Valen let out a small, self-satisfied chuckle.
"In the entire world?" he repeated, his grin widening as he flipped his pink hair with mock elegance. "Well, it's only natural. I mean... look at me."
Valen stared at the floating window, then cleared his throat dramatically.
"Crew & Harem."
The screen shifted immediately.
[Crew & Harem]
[Current Members: N/A]
Valen blinked.
"Well… kinda sad, isn't it?" he muttered with a sheepish smile.
"Store."
The interface changed again, presenting a scrollable list.

Valen nodded slowly.
"Well, it's not bad... expected something more OP like in those chinese fanfic, but this isn't bad at all..." he muttered.
He swiped again.
"Map."
[Map]
[Foosha Village, Dawn Island, East Blue (Your location)]
[You have only visited this place so far.]
"Good, let's see the missions."
[Mission]
[You have no missions yet.]
"All right," Valen said with a small exhale.
Then his brows furrowed as he tilted his head.
"System, can you now explain to me what those Lust Points are? Why is a function called Crew & Harem? And why is the system called Lust Pirate System? Don't you think it's a little…"
There was a soft chime.
[Lust Points are the currency of the Lust Pirate System.]
[They can be obtained by having sex with the women registered in the function 'Crew & Harem'.]
[They can be used to buy items or skills in the Store, or to upgrade Skills and Traits, though these upgrades are extremely costly.]
[Alternatively, Lust Points can be converted into stat points with a ratio of 500:1.]
Valen's eyes shot wide.
"Wait… I can obtain them by having sex?!"
He looked around instinctively, as if worried someone might have overheard.
His cheeks flushed slightly, but the glint in his eye sparkled brighter.
"So... you're telling me I can get stronger… just by sleeping with women?!"
A slow, devious grin crept across his face.
"That… might be the most overpowered cheat in the world after all."
To be continued...
