Pirate: I'm about to do something big!

Alyosha Ran was born in the East China Sea.

In the year 1518 of the Sea Calendar, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was publicly executed in Loguetown in the East Blue.

Before his death, he declared, "All my treasures are on the final island," thus ushering in a chaotic era of pirates.

In the same year, thirteen-year-old Alyosha enlisted in the Navy Headquarters, and fourteen years have passed since then.

With his monstrous physique—training himself to the brink of death day after day and emerging the next day refreshed and much stronger than the day before—he actively participated in every military operation against pirates after being transferred from the reserves to the regular army at the age of 16. His unit not only had an extremely low casualty rate but also won the recognition of the marines and his superiors.

In just eleven years, he rose from a third-class marine to his current position as a commodore at the Navy Headquarters.

His favorite thing to do is to lead the marines from headquarters to the four seas to fight the increasingly rampant pirates. He always carries a pen and paper to record what he sees and hears on each voyage.

He is highly regarded by the high-ranking officers of the Marine Headquarters and is considered a rising star who can compete with Vice Admirals Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino for the position of Admiral, provided he can obtain a Devil Fruit that can unleash his full power.

But Alyosha Ran has another unknown identity: he is a time traveler.

His cheat ability has two aspects: physical strength and unconventional talent. The first is his monstrous physique, which allows him to survive and become stronger by consuming large amounts of food as long as he doesn't die or lose any limbs.

It's somewhat similar to the Saiyans in the Dragon Ball series, but Alyosha doesn't have a tail, can't turn blond, and can't transform into a Great Ape under the full moon, but he can try to unleash his power.

The only connection is that even if he trains to the point of near death, as long as he stays alive, he can recover quickly by consuming a large amount of food, and his combat power will be permanently increased by a certain amount. This can be repeated.

That's why he chose to join the Navy instead of a pirate crew.

Firstly, he is a person with normal values ​​and would not do the kind of things pirates do, such as robbing, killing, and arson.

Becoming a pirate is worse than finding a place to die.

Secondly, there are resources.

No matter how corrupt the world's navies may be internally, they at least maintain a proper facade, especially the main navy, which is backed by the World Government and is the World Government's largest violent institution.

Once I pass the review and join the Navy Headquarters, I will start training from the reserves and have at least three years to accumulate strength before officially becoming a private at the age of seventeen.

He's not an idiot who acts impulsively; he knows which camp to choose.

With the navy backing him up and his monstrous physique, he had a blast developing in the early game.

"Alyosha."

Just as Alyosha was lost in thought, his comrade-in-arms Smoker walked toward him with a cigar in his mouth.

"According to the compass and nautical chart, we'll be at Forchart Island in about 50 nautical miles."

"Okay, pass the word down. Anchor ten nautical miles from Forsythe Island. Leave some men to provide support, the rest will proceed in small boats. Where's that guy Stobelli?"

"They said they encountered a sea monster and needed to rest. Ha, they can't even come up with a better excuse. Our ship is lined with sea stone to avoid sea monsters."

"Okay, call again."

After relaying the order, Alyosha continued to look at the sea.

Smoker left and then returned.

"What's wrong? Is there something else?"

Noticing his comrade's unusual behavior, Alyosha didn't turn around and speak.

"I'm curious why you're equipping the Marines with tranquilizer darts designed to target fish-men. Are you really planning to capture the entire Sun Pirates alive? Fisher Tiger is a notorious pirate with a bounty of 230 million Berries."

"That's why we need to capture him alive, and his fishmen too. Otherwise, are you going to pay the Marines' bonuses for me? Don't worry, Smoker, I know what I'm doing. You know my strength."

After patting his friend Smoker on the shoulder, Alyosha turned and walked back to the cabin. As he passed the deck, every marine who was preparing for battle saluted Alyosha, and Alyosha returned the salute.

As the warship advanced, it soon reached a distance of ten nautical miles from its destination, Forchart Island.

The marines on deck were lined up, awaiting orders from their supreme commander, Alyosha.

"This time, my mission for you is to capture all members of the Sun Pirates alive if possible. Therefore, you must be equipped with both tranquilizer darts and live ammunition. Without my order, you are not allowed to use live ammunition. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Very good, then I'll go scout ahead and keep your formation until I get back."

Having said that, Alyosha pushed off with his feet, and his body floated into the air, gradually turning into a black dot.

None of the marines on the ship, nor Smoker and Tina, who were accompanying Alyosha, felt anything was amiss about the strange behavior Alyosha was exhibiting.

He simply remarked, "Alyosha's Moonwalk is more powerful than Tina's and Smoker's. Smoker is also a Logia Devil Fruit user."

"There's no need to keep emphasizing this, Tina!"

Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, was speechless.

He didn't understand why everyone else was practicing the Six Styles of the Navy, but Alyosha was able to turn the brief airtime skill Moonwalk into flight.

Smoker, of course, didn't understand, because this was something only Alyosha could do; it was the advantage he had as a transmigrator.

This is why Alyosha was able to become a commodore at the age of twenty-seven.

His cheat ability is, as mentioned earlier, his monstrous physique, which grants him powerful regenerative abilities and a permanent boost to his stamina, speed, and strength after recovery.

Secondly, Alyosha possesses a naturally superior and unique Observation Haki, unlike the former Pirate King Roger who could hear the voices of all things and Red Earl who could read memories and minds.

Alyosha was born with the ability to sense the life energy that exists in all things in the world, and he could use and absorb it through self-training.

Alyosha felt a bit like the ki training system of the martial artists in the Dragon Ball series, but not quite as outlandish.

It was precisely because Alyosha displayed this talent that he was noticed by the bigwigs at the Navy Headquarters and successfully joined the Navy Headquarters as a reserve marine.

During his three years as a marine reserve, Alyosha relied on resources provided by the Navy Headquarters to train himself rigorously day after day.

With his monstrous physique, he reached the threshold for learning the Six Styles in the shortest time, and the first of the Six Styles he mastered was the short-term airborne skill, Moonwalk.

He combined his ability to perceive the energy of all things with Moonwalk, exploring and transforming it from a brief hovering skill into a flight skill.

Alyosha even mischievously called his flying version of Moonwalk "Dancing in the Sky."

The other skills of the Six Powers were also upgraded by Alyosha, who had the talent to sense and control ki, resulting in different skills.

It is a monster physique that allows it to recover from near-death experiences by eating and permanently increase its combat power. Like the martial artists in the Dragon Ball series, it can sense and control ki with a special Observation Haki.

Alyosha was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with three future Marine Admirals—Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru—in just eleven years, without consuming any Devil Fruits to enhance his abilities, relying solely on Armament Haki, Observation Haki, a form of Rokushiki (Six Powers) wielded by his own power, and his monstrous physique.

Alyosha used his Flying Technique to arrive above Forsythe Island, closed his eyes to sense the air below, and quickly located the Sun Pirates.

The Sun Pirates are all fish-men. Fish-men are a race that is born with a physical template that is ten times stronger than humans, so their life force cannot be hidden on this island.

Alyosha locked onto the opponent's location without much effort before flying back.

Once on deck, Alyosha issued orders.

"Divide into five teams of 200 men each. Five teams will remain to support Rear Admiral Stoberg's warships. No one is to attack without my orders, including Rear Admiral Stoberg. The rest of you, depart for Forsythe Island!"

"Yes, Brigadier General."

After launching their small boat, the group of 40 people per boat, led by Alyosha, reached the coast of Forsythia Island in half an hour without being spotted by the Sun Pirates crew who were anchored on the other side.
