Summary

The transmigrator Abelele Qitian sets sail alongside navigator Kevin Rankin and cook Missy Lily, forming the Great Sage Pirates. Possessing the Mythical Zoan-type Monkey-Monkey Fruit, Great Sage Form, he can pluck hairs to create clones, ride on somersault clouds, and has mastered basic Haki through his knowledge of the plot. Fully aware that the Navy is teeming with powerful figures, he keeps a low profile everywhere, even deliberately suppressing his bounty, yet after a ship collision in the East Blue he turns the tables and seizes Colonel Mouse's warship, subsequently getting swept up in events at Loguetown, the Baratie, and the New World. Through a series of mishaps his fame keeps rising, and after crossing blades with Mihawk he is even rumored to be a Yonko-level figure, throwing his original development plan completely out of control.

Editor's review

A typical One Piece fanfic power-fantasy whose appeal lies in the protagonist's contrast of "wanting to hide but unable to": the staff-swinging mountain-splitter, hair-plucking clones, and other setups are paired with plenty of canon references and snark. The pacing is brisk, making it good casual reading for readers familiar with the One Piece world. Its weaknesses are a relatively short length, fast power escalation, somewhat rushed late-stage power and fame inflation, and thin original supporting characters.

About the author

Diligent Lazy Author

Qin Kuai De Lan Lan (English name: Diligent Lazy) is a web-novel author about whom little public information is available; only one work by this author can currently be found, namely One Piece: I Only Wanted to Develop Quietly, but Became One of the Four Emperors. Judging from the title and its common categories, the work is aimed at readers of male-oriented fiction and blends Eastern fantasy with fan-fiction elements: it borrows the framework of the One Piece world and builds narrative tension from the contrast between a desire to develop quietly and being forced into the role of one of the Four Emperors, giving the story a light, playful tone. Because the author's nationality, dates of birth and death, and writing career are not clearly documented, a full writing trajectory cannot be outlined. The existing work nonetheless suggests a preference for transmigration or system-style growth setups and a knack for using mismatched goals to create comic effect. For readers, this author is currently a newcomer known for a single work, and future directions and stylistic development remain to be seen.
