System in the Grand Line

Ryan, a world-weary salaryman, wakes to find himself stranded in the brutal, untamed world of One Piece, 20 years after Roger's execution. His initial glee quickly sours as he faces the grim reality of survival among pirates, marines, and monstrous beasts. Thankfully, a mysterious 'System' manifests, granting him game-like abilities: leveling up, skill trees, and stat allocation. But this isn't a game; every decision has real consequences. His dream of a carefree life and tasting sake clashes with the constant threat of death, forcing him to adapt or become just another forgotten victim of the Grand Line. Can he truly leverage his cheat to carve a legend, or will his past apathy doom him in a world where only the strong survive?
