Chapter 1: A Stranger from Nowhere
The wind howled over the coast of Westshell Island, a small place forgotten even by most East Blue maps. Waves crashed against jagged cliffs, sending sea spray high into the sky. Seagulls cried above a battered fishing dock, where a small tavern creaked against the morning breeze.
Inside that tavern sat a stranger.
His coat was too clean. His eyes too sharp. He didn't speak unless necessary, and he didn't drink like the sailors. His name was Ayman Arif, and no one knew where he came from—only that he arrived a week ago and already had two low-tier pirate bounties under his belt.
"Oi," a drunk fisherman muttered to his friend, glancing Ayman's way. "You heard the rumors? They say he took down the Green Fang brothers solo. Blades versus pistols. Not a scratch on him."
"Bah," his friend snorted. "He's just a hunter from some backwater village. Got lucky."
Ayman didn't respond. He sipped plain water and stared out the window.
In truth, he wasn't from any village. He wasn't even from this world.
Just ten days ago, he'd been lying in bed in Dhaka, Bangladesh, watching a rerun of the Marineford War arc for the tenth time. One blink, and he'd woken up on a beach—sun in his eyes, seagulls screaming overhead, a worn leather pouch tied to his belt.
And a glowing blue screen in front of him.
[Welcome, Ayman Arif. You have been granted access to the Gacha Summon System.]
[Beginner Pack Available – Pull Now?]
He had no idea who gave it to him. Or why. But he'd pulled the beginner pack without hesitation.
[Pulling from Basic Combat Banner…]
[Congratulations! You have summoned: Rock Lee (Naruto) – Rare Tier – Role: Close Combat Fighter]
Lee had appeared in a swirl of leaves, grinning with fiery youth. "Let's go, sensei!"
That moment changed everything.
Now, Ayman lived carefully. Quietly. No one could know about his system. No one could know he had summoned warriors from beyond this world. It wasn't just dangerous—it would be world-shattering.
The tavern door slammed open.
A breathless teenager ran inside, face pale.
"Pirates! On the southern beach! Three ships!"
Gasps filled the room. The few men with weapons stood, already sweating.
Ayman calmly stood as well, stretching his arms. He adjusted the black gloves he wore—not for fashion, but to hide the glowing system rune etched on his right palm.
Outside, smoke already curled into the sky. A pirate flag flew high: a skull with twin hammers for crossbones. The infamous Red Hammer Crew, known for razing small villages and stealing children as forced labor.

Ayman smiled faintly.
"Time to work."
He walked into the chaos calmly. Villagers were screaming, running toward the cliffs. Three ships had docked, and a dozen pirates were already onshore, dragging sacks of food from stores and lighting homes on fire.
"Looks like we've got a hero," sneered a burly man with twin axes strapped to his back. "You the fool who took down the Green Fangs?"
"I'm just a hunter," Ayman said, cracking his neck. "From a nowhere village."
[Activate Summon – Slot 1: Rock Lee]
[Summon Confirmed – Energy Sync 100%]
A flash of wind and green smoke appeared beside him. Rock Lee burst forth, eyes blazing. "YOUTH IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE!"
The pirates froze.
"What the hell?!"
Before they could react, Lee was on them—moving like a blur, spinning into a Leaf Hurricane that launched two pirates through a fruit stand. Another tried to strike from behind, only to be elbowed into unconsciousness.
Ayman himself dashed forward, drawing the curved saber he'd looted off a defeated bounty last week. He wasn't a swordsman—but the system had enhanced his reaction speed and strength subtly since syncing with Lee.
He parried a clumsy blow from a pirate, sidestepped, and struck the man's wrist hard enough to disarm him. The handle flipped up, and Ayman used the second blade to block another strike.
[Combo Counter: 7 – Momentum Bonus Activated – Movement Speed +5%]
It wasn't just summoning. The system gave him buffs, advantages—small, incremental, but real.
In under five minutes, the pirates were groaning on the ground or diving back into the water.
Lee landed beside him, wiping his forehead. "These foes are no match for the fires of effort!"
From the cliffs above, villagers stared in stunned silence. A single man and a green jumpsuit lunatic had taken down a pirate raid in minutes.
Ayman turned, sheathed his sword, and gave a small wave.
"They're gone."
The mayor, a thin older man, hurried down. "Thank you! We—we don't know how to repay you."
Ayman simply said, "Don't worry about it."
[Quest Complete – +100 Summon Points]

Ayman opened the interface in his mind.
"Do it."
[Pulling from Support Banner…]
[Congratulations! You have summoned: Elizabeth Liones (Seven Deadly Sins) – Rare Tier – Role: Healer / Buffer]
A soft light appeared beside him. A blonde girl in a maid outfit stepped out, looking confused but kind.
"Oh my… Where am I?"
Lee gave a thumbs-up. "A teammate of justice!"
Ayman smiled quietly.
No one knew. Not the villagers, not the Marines, not even the pirates. As far as the world was concerned, he was just a bounty hunter from nowhere.
But soon, they'd learn the truth.
Ayman Arif had arrived—and with every summon, the world of One Piece was about to change.
