In a dark dungeon.
Lance woke up, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings in confusion.
"Where... where am I?"
He was completely lost.
Just a second ago, he had been drinking and partying with his coworkers. After a few shots of baijiu, everything went black, the world spun, and now—he woke up in this hellish place.
"A transmigration? No way, I just drank a little too much, that's not enough to die and get isekai'd, right?"
Lance looked dumbfounded. "And even if I did transmigrate, shouldn't soone at least tell where I ended up?!"
Soon, a few guards walked over and unlocked the cell.
Lance quickly scrambled to his feet.
"Take him."
Two guards grabbed him and dragged him into a small blood-stained chamber.
"Hey! Tell where this is! What cri did I commit?!"
Lance shouted frantically.
He had no clue what was happening.
"No need to shout. This was all Doffy's idea."
From a shadowy corner beyond the flickering candlelight, a figure stepped out—soone who looked oddly familiar to Lance.
It was a man wearing a fur-brimd hat, with two facial markings.
"Doffy?"
Lance had no recollection of that na. "And who are you?"
"Since you're going to die anyway, I'll show you a little rcy and tell you… My na is Diamante. Rember it. You're dying at the hands of the great Diamante. Consider that an honor!"
Diamante laughed theatrically.
"Diamante?"
Lance was confused, but then suddenly, sothing clicked. His pupils shrank as he cried out, "The 'Doffy' you ntioned—is that Donquixote Doflamingo?!"
No wonder the guy looked familiar—he was one of the officers of the Donquixote Family, the head of the Diamond Army—Diamante!
As a die-hard One Piece fan, Lance was all too familiar with the Dressrosa arc, which ran for over a hundred episodes. This Diamante wasn't just an executive officer of Doflamingo's crew and the user of the Hira Hira no Mi (Flutter-Flutter Fruit), he was also one of the four founding mbers who helped Doflamingo rise to power—soone with imnse status and power!
"So that ans… I've transmigrated into the world of One Piece!"
Lance muttered to himself.
"But wait, isn't transmigration usually accompanied by a system?"
"Where's my system? My cheat ability? At the very least, give a noble status or sothing! Getting executed right after crossing over—what kind of isekai is this?! This is a ripoff!"
Lance howled in frustration.
"Alright, stop wasting your breath. You had the guts to bump into Doffy on the street? You've got so balls!"
Diamante sneered and pulled a flintlock pistol from his coat. "Rember this—Doffy is the king of Dressrosa. You offended the king. Now pay with your life!"
"No way... this can't be happening! I didn't know anything!"
Lance panicked. "It was just a bump! That's not worth dying for!"
Are you kidding ? A bump is enough to get killed?
Is the One Piece world really this irrational?
"Not worth it? You think you bumped into so stray cat or dog? That was Doffy—the king of Dressrosa! How dare you compare him to such filthy things!"
"Don't bother struggling. Just die already. If you learn one thing in your next life, make it this: you can offend anyone—but never Doffy!"
With that, Diamante pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A shot rang out. Blood sprayed from the back of Lance's head. He collapsed to the ground, eyes wide with disbelief and despair—slowly dulling with death.
In his final mont, Lance had only one thought:
The world of One Piece really is insane!
"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully died. Ajin System activated!"
"Scanning host's physical condition… Scan complete. Host's current state can sustain: 1 IBM."
"Resurrecting… please wait."
A pleasant female voice echoed in Lance's mind.
Ajin System?
Isn't this the One Piece world? Why is there sothing from Ajin here?
But wait… I rember Ajin can't die, right?
So I'm coming back to life?
Soon, a progress bar appeared in front of him.
[Resurrection Progress: 18%]
It's real!
Yes!
That ans I really can't die anymore!
And the system said I have one IBM… That's the Ajin's primary weapon!
Lance recalled the IBMs from Ajin—humanoid figures wrapped in bandages, imperfect in form. Normally invisible to others unless they were emotionally heightened.
"Just wait. Once I co back, the first thing I'm doing is killing the bastard who shot !"
"If this world doesn't play fair—then neither will I!"
Lance's bloodlust surged.
Doflamingo… Diamante… he wasn't going to let either of them go!
anwhile, Diamante looked back at Lance's corpse and sneered, mocking the pathetic fate. Without another glance, he turned and left.
Two guards entered, glanced at Lance's body, and scoffed.
"Had the nerve to bump into Lord Doflamingo? That brat got what he deserved."
"Deserved? If he hadn't died, I'd have shot him two more tis! Damn bastard. Let's throw his body into the wild and let the beasts tear him apart!"
The two guards lit up cigarettes and took a relaxing puff as they joked and chatted.
They didn't notice that, beside them, black particles began to rise from Lance's body—grainy, sand-like matter bubbling up and swiftly reconstructing his form.
[Resurrection Progress: 100%]
Lance's eyes flew open, filled with fury and killing intent.
"Dump my corpse for the beasts to eat?"
"Then I'll dismber the two of you first!"
Shhhhhh…
With a single thought, black particles surged from his body again, quickly coalescing into a perfect, bandage-covered humanoid IBM.
"Awaiting… your… command…"
The hoarse voice rang out. The IBM bowed respectfully toward Lance.
"Kill those two."
