A man from Earth, just another One Piece fan, reads the latest chapter where the Straw Hats set sail for Elbaph. Feeling satisfied, he goes to sleep—only to wake up in the body of Momonosuke, the son of Kozuki Oden!

But there's no time to process the shock. It’s the day of Oden’s battle against Kaido—the battle that will end in Oden’s defeat.

With Wano on the brink of ruin and history destined to repeat itself, he is powerless to stop what’s coming. That is, until he discovers a mysterious Copy System, a power that lets him steal one ability, Haki, or Devil Fruit power from anyone he touches. The only limit? He can take only one skill per person.

Armed with this newfound ability, he must navigate a world where monsters reign, war looms, and the weight of an entire nation's future rests on his young shoulders. Can he change Wano’s fate? Or will he be another victim of Kaido’s rule?

one piece: shogun of wano

The cold wind brushed against my skin as I stood alone in the vast wilderness of Wano. The sky above was the same, the mountains unchanged—but I felt different.

I had traveled three months into the future.

I had left behind my mother. My sister. The retainers who had stayed to fight.

And now, I was alone.

I took a deep breath, pushing back the wave of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. This wasn't the time for grief. I had made my choice.

Assessing My Situation

I needed to understand where I was, what I had, and what I had to do next.

With a thought, I called up my System Panel.

Name: Kozuki Momonosuke

Physical State: Enhanced (Monstrous Durability & Recovery)

✅ Toki Toki no Mi (Time-Time Fruit) – Limited Time Travel

✅ Advanced Conqueror's Haki (Locked: Needs Practice)

✅ Monstrous Durability & Recovery (Passive: Always Active)

I stared at the screen, my mind racing.

My biggest strength wasn't my body—it was my system.

With this, I had the potential to grow stronger at an incredible rate.

I could steal the power of legends.

I could train myself beyond anything this world expected.

And when I returned, Kaido wouldn't stand a chance.

But first—I needed to leave Wano.

Why I Had to Leave

Wano was Kaido's kingdom now.

His forces ruled over the land.The people were oppressed and enslaved.His commanders and soldiers patrolled every region.

I was too weak to fight them. Not yet.

If I stayed, I would only be hiding—and hiding wouldn't make me strong enough to reclaim my country.

I had to leave Wano and train in the outside world.

Trusting My Sister's Safety

A part of me felt guilty leaving my sister behind.

But I knew she would be safe.

The retainers who had stayed—Denjiro, Kawamatsu, Ashura Doji—they would protect her.

Hiyori would grow up hidden, away from Kaido's eyes.

Unlike me, she didn't have to fight.

This was my path. My journey.

I would leave Wano not to run away, but to return as its savior.

I had no home. No allies. No family beside me.

Because I had one thing Kaido didn't know about.

I had the system.

Where Would I Go?

If I was leaving Wano, I had to find a destination.

There were two options:

Find a ship and head to the open sea.

The world was vast, filled with powerful warriors.I could find a way to train, copy more abilities, and gain allies.

Head to a nearby island with strong fighters.

There were places near Wano where I could find powerful people.If I copied the right skills, I could return to Wano even faster.

I needed strength.

Wherever I went next, it had to be a place that would make me stronger.

My mother had died here. My father had fought here. My people suffered here.

And one day, I would come back and burn Kaido's empire to the ground.

Today, I was just a boy with a system and a goal.

I turned, setting my eyes on the horizon.

This was where Momonosuke, the child, disappeared.

And where Momonosuke, the warrior, began his journey.
