Chapter 1 Plant Fruits

In the sparkling sea, an island full of prosperity and noise is located at the intersection of major routes.

On the island, the bustling streets are full of people coming and going.

Rogge Town is located at the entrance of the Grand Route, so pirates who want to go to the Grand Route must pass through here.

There is an endless stream of people in the town, and the shops are filled with all kinds of goods from all over the world.

Pirates also visited here frequently, but except for the best among them, the rest were captured and imprisoned by the navy stationed here.

In the courtyard of an orphanage in a remote part of town.

"Hey, Roger. Hurry up, we're going shopping."

An old man with a white beard shouted.

"Well, here we come." A strong-bodied young man with brown hair, about or years old, hurried over and got on the carriage.

Sitting in the back half of the dilapidated carriage, with the uncle in front driving the horse, the dilapidated carriage began to drive toward the town.

The dilapidated carriage drove all the way into the town.

Rogge Town was bustling with traffic and people coming and going, and merchants selling various goods were hawking on both sides of the street.

But when everyone saw this dilapidated carriage, they all looked at it with disdain.

Rogge, who was sitting on the dilapidated carriage, looked at everything around him and fell into thinking.

"It's been a year since I came to this world, but I didn't expect that there are still not many ways out."

That's right, Rogge was reborn through time travel.

In the originally normal world, he fell unconscious after a car accident.

After waking up, he found himself in an orphanage on an island.

After merging the memories of his past life with this reborn body, he discovered that this was actually his own world of One Piece!

Just when I was excited about traveling through time, I found that my situation was really bad.

The body after rebirth is named Rogge. He was an orphan since he was a child. He was named Rogge by the people at the orphanage because he was picked up in Rogge Town.

What makes me even more disappointed is that since I traveled through time, I don’t have any golden fingers.

For example, in the various anime novels I read in my previous life, there wasn’t a single golden finger in it.

Although this One Piece world has infinite possibilities, it does not have its own world.

Thinking of this, Rogge felt annoyed for a while.

Oh my god, it's unfair. Since I'm reborn, you want me to be a big shot. Why not be reborn as Nanami Takeshi? Why not be reborn as a naval admiral? Why not be reborn as the Straw Hat boy?

But there is no solution to complaining. Fortunately, the most basic thing now is that I can have food to eat.

Rogge is now considered an employee of the orphanage, and is usually responsible for purchasing the supplies needed by the orphanage.

After walking for a while, the dilapidated carriage finally arrived at a cheap store in Rogge Town.

The white-bearded uncle in charge of driving and Roger got off the dilapidated carriage.

"Remember, Roger. Today we need to take advantage of the cheap food here to buy more. I brought 5000 beli to buy enough food, vegetables, and some milk. After all, the children in the orphanage still need to grow. ." said the white-bearded uncle.

"Okay, I remember." Rogge said.

This white-bearded uncle is named John, and he is the director of the orphanage.

Of course, this white beard is not that white beard. That white beard is the four emperors who are powerful in the world, but this white beard uncle is just the director of the Rogge Town Orphanage. 35xs

But he always boasted that he and Whitebeard were distant relatives.

Of course, everyone in the town regarded him as a joke and something to talk about after dinner.

In the store, the white-bearded uncle finally made a deal with the store owner after shrewd bargaining.

"Okay, put all these on the carriage." The white-bearded uncle said, pointing to a pile of selected products.

There are about ten bags of flour, several boxes of fruits and vegetables, and milk.

"OK."

Rogge began to carry these commodities, which was quite easy when he had nothing to do. Once you have this kind of purchase, it takes a lot of effort.

After a while of hard work, the panting Rogge got back on the carriage. The white-bearded uncle started driving back to the orphanage.

After returning to the orphanage, we stopped in front of this half-new building.

"Okay, Rogge. I need to re-do the accounting, you take care of these things." Uncle Whitebeard said to Rogge and returned to the orphanage.

Rogge began to sort out the purchased grains, vegetables, fruits and milk.

"I've been doing this for a year, but it can't always be like this. I need to find other ways to do it in the future." Rogge said while working.

In this world where pirates are raging, all kinds of strong people emerge in endlessly. Some people have acquired strength no less than those with devil fruit abilities through their hard work.

But how can it be so easy?

That kind of people only come from thousands of miles away, and they also need many opportunities to achieve success.

Of course, Rogge decided to continue working as an employee at this orphanage for two years and then find a way to join the navy or become a pirate.

But it must be very hard. If you want to get ahead, it must be very hard.

"Huh? Why is this box so light? Could it be that the boss lied and underloaded it?"

Roger suddenly discovered that a wooden box containing fruits and vegetables was very light and unusual.

There seemed to be only one fruit inside.

"What's going on?"

Rogge opened the lid of the wooden box, but his eyes were stunned for an instant.

Inside the wooden box is a purple fruit with patterns.

Devil Fruit!

It's absolutely true. After he was reborn, he got a devil fruit illustrated book. After looking at the devil fruit many times, the one in front of him was definitely real.

Rogge took out the purple patterned fruit with trembling hands and looked at it repeatedly for a long time.

"Oh my God, God still favors me."

Rogge quickly looked around to make sure there was no one else around.

Then Rogge took this devil fruit and hurried to a hidden woods behind the orphanage.

"Now that you have obtained the Devil Fruit, don't hesitate at all and eat it immediately." Rogge began to peel off the outer skin of the purple fruit.

Devil Fruit is a precious item that is rarely obtained by world governments. Once you get it, it doesn’t matter what your ability is, just eat it as soon as possible.

It's just turned into a weight and can't dive into the sea.

Holding his breath, Rogge gulped down the pulp inside the fruit.

As for the taste, Rogge didn't dare to think about it.

After devouring it for a while, the devil fruit was finally eaten down to its outer skin.

Rogge even swallowed the outer skin just to be on the safe side.

"Huh, I finally finished eating. Hmm"

After eating the devil fruit, I suddenly felt an extremely uncomfortable nausea.

This Devil Fruit is truly unpalatable!

No matter how you describe the taste, sweet, sour, spicy and salty are not included. Just one word, evil!

The taste is evil, but how can I spit out the Devil Fruit after finally eating it? Rogge tried his best to forget everything, and waited for a long time for the Devil Fruit in his stomach to be digested before he stood up and walked again.

"What kind of ability it is, you need to understand it slowly." After eating the devil fruit, the ability is not immediately reflected in the mind.

But I felt a very strange idea in my subconscious, which was probably the ability of the Devil Fruit.

You need to work hard to understand it.

After staying in this small forest for an unknown amount of time, Rogge gradually realized the power of the Devil Fruit.

He stretched out his hand to the grass in the woods.

As I concentrated, the weeds began to grow noticeably.

The same goes for other plants, such as flowers and shrubs.

"It turns out it has an effect on plants, and this is actually a plant fruit."

Rogge also didn't expect that this was actually a legendary plant fruit. The plant fruit was a legendary devil fruit. People with fruit abilities can control plant growth and transform plants.

"Fortunately, it's not a bad ability, plant fruit. It seems that I need to make good use of it in the future."

Now Rogge finally has the capital to make a big splash in this world.

But even so, you still need to work hard on your own.

After everything feels better, look at the sky again. The sun has already set in the west.

"I still need to think carefully about the future path, and then go back first."

Roger then returned to the front of the orphanage, finished the unfinished work, and then returned to his room.
