One Piece: Signing In as a Pirate Begins with Roger's Execution

"What are you planning to do? Are the Marines going to deal with the bandits, or are you finally going to make a move on me?"

Upon hearing the question, Dadan immediately struck a seductive pose for Carl.

Seeing Dadan's exaggeratedly seductive figure, Karl nearly choked on his breakfast.

"Dadan, you misunderstand! I'm just here to clear out the bandits, nothing else."

Karl quickly explained, fearing that people would misunderstand. If Dadan continued, he might not be able to explain himself.

"Hahaha, so that's what it is!"

Dadan laughed heartily, patting Carl's back. Clearly, she had done that on purpose.

Then Dadan told Karl where the bandit Sig might be hiding.

Having been a bandit herself, she knew all too well where they tended to nest, and Karl's Observation Haki wasn't bad.

Once he had a location, finding Sig wouldn't be much of a problem.

Karl quickly tracked down Sig, and with this, he could stamp out the bandit king Sig before he had the chance to rise.

The notorious bandit king never got the chance to make a name for himself. He was swiftly brought to an end.

At the same time, Karl completed his sign-in task and received an extra reward for killing the bandit king Sig.

[Sign-in success: Makino. Affinity increased by 100%. Physical stamina increased by a multiplier.]

[Sign-in success: Dadan. Earned the title "Ladies' Man."]

[Sign-in success: Bandit Sig. Reward: Increased face value.]

[Kill Bandit Sig. Extra sign-in task completed. Earned the title "Bandit Slayer!"]

What the hell is this?!

What kind of title is "Ladies' Man"?

And "Bandit Slayer" is just a commemorative title?!

When did this sign-in system get so ridiculous?

Karl couldn't help but mutter to himself, wanting to curse the sign-in system out a thousand times.

But in the end, he held back. After all, a doubled stamina boost wasn't a small reward.

As for the increase in face value?

Karl didn't know what that ability was for.

Since there was no stat panel, he had no idea what this ability could do.

If it had the same effect as Shanks' in the original story, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

"Dadan, please do me a favor and give me a shoulder rub, maybe some leg massages too!"

In the bar, Karl suddenly said, catching everyone off guard.

Dadan froze for a second before immediately grabbing her mace and swinging it at Carl.

"You little brat, are you looking for a death wish?!"

"Uh... so that's a no..."

Karl scratched his nose and nimbly dodged Dadan's mace. But just as luck would have it, Makino walked through the back door of the bar and collided directly with Karl.

With a loud bang, Karl slammed Makino against the wall. Using the wall for support, Karl found himself in a "wall slam" position, holding her with one hand.

For a moment, both of them felt embarrassed.

Makino, now only around eleven years old, was only about 4'3", whereas Karl stood at 7'2", creating a stark contrast.

This situation caught the attention of everyone in the bar, who eagerly craned their necks, ready to watch.

Even Dadan put down her mace and pulled out some snacks to eat.

After all, the show was far more interesting than her meal.

With the combined effects of the titles and sign-in rewards, Makino's affinity for Karl maxed out!

She bit her lip, blushing deeply, and closed her eyes. She leaned fully into Carl, giving up any resistance.

"U-um... please be gentle..."

Karl was completely dumbfounded, unsure of what was happening.

Looking at Makino's flushed face, a sense of guilt surged within him.

Makino wasn't just his sister, but she was also an eleven-year-old little girl!

Karl gritted his teeth and forced himself to focus.

"Makino, this is a misunderstanding..."

"A misunderstanding?"

Hearing Karl's words, Makino's expression changed instantly.

"You're telling me it's a misunderstanding, right in front of all these people?!"

Makino suddenly snapped, and Karl hadn't expected this at all.

She glared fiercely at Karl, then stepped hard on his foot with the heel of her shoe.

She twisted it a couple of times, and the pain made Karl grimace, but he didn't stop her.

"Hmph! You're asking for it!"

Makino, red-faced and embarrassed, ran out of the bar, her tone still defiant.

Her bratty personality, combined with her easily embarrassed nature, left Carl in a state of confusion.

"You missed a good chance. No wonder you're still single!"

Dadan, shaking her head, spoke with exasperation as she continued drinking.

She put away her snacks as well.

With no show to watch, she wasn't interested in her meal anymore.

Since Karl had been single in his past life and lacked any romantic experience in this life, he couldn't be sure whether Makino liked him because of the boosted affinity or if she truly had feelings for him.

When Karl was about seven or eight, Makino was just one year old. They had known each other since then and became sworn siblings.

At that time, Karl had just wanted to nurture her for the sake of some harmless amusement.

But in the end, Makino had turned out completely different.

Though she was still shy, the gentle nature she once had had long since disappeared.

And her bratty attitude? That was something Karl had cultivated himself.

That was how Makino turned out this way.

"By the way, Dadan, where's Rouge? I need to talk to her."

"She's at Makino's house. Are you still planning to go?"

Karl had initially wanted to change the subject, but upon hearing Dadan's words, he felt his head begin to spin.

After some internal conflict, Karl finally decided to go apologize to Makino.

"Let's take it slow. I'll deal with Shanks later."

Karl muttered to himself as he walked.

In the original story, Makino would fall for Shanks.

If Shanks tried anything, Karl would make sure to give that bastard what he deserved!

Soon, Karl arrived at Makino's house and formally apologized, earning a look of disdain from her.

But her mood seemed much better, and she even prepared some snacks for him to take.

Karl then had a brief chat with Rouge, telling her she could contact him if needed. After saying goodbye to Makino, he left Windmill Village.

But once he returned to the warship, he noticed that the effect of the "Ladies' Man" title was still glowing!
