Second Chances [The Dudley Story]

Jiang Qiao, having transmigrated to Nagazora City, joined a chat group. Just as he was preparing to make a run for it, he discovered he'd swapped bodies with Elysia from fifty thousand years ago. And this was just the beginning— When Jiang Qiao appeared before Elysia, Elysia was dumbfounded looking at herself in extravagant attire. So I'm the fake Elysia? When Jiang Qiao, in Furina's form, attended the Fontaine court, a casual wave of his hand sent the ocean surging back into the heavens. Paimon, pointing at Jiang Qiao holding a dazed blonde, exclaimed, "You're saying this is a fake?!" After Jiang Qiao, using Qingque's appearance, thrashed Phantylia and became a hero of the Luofu, Qingque cried out, "Master Diviner, I've been wronged! I really just slack off! Someone else defeated Phantylia!" Having swapped bodies countless times with his groupmates, Jiang Qiao sighed. "Ah, another day of being helpful."

Kuro a former hunter finds himself in a body of Xiao Wei, a 14-year-old boy, with memories of his past life.

Five years before Monkey D. Luffy sets sail to become the King of the Pirates, another name stirs the seas with fear and ambition. Born on the brutal Noctis Island, Raizen D. Crow witnessed firsthand the cruelty of a lawless world. While others dreamed of freedom, Raizen dreamed of domination. Armed with the forbidden Kuro Kuro no Mi — granting him the power to control living darkness — he vowed to unite the seas under a single iron rule. Gathering a fleet of the most dangerous outcasts, assassins, and fallen marines, Raizen wages a silent war against the corrupt forces of the world. His mission is clear: seize the ancient weapons, crush the chaotic pirate era, and forge an empire where peace is enforced by absolute power. As he clashes with rising heroes, secret government agents, and even future legends like a young Crocodile, Raizen’s ambition casts a long shadow across the seas — one that even the World Government cannot ignore. But far away, a boy with a straw hat is preparing to set sail… and the age of dreams is about to challenge the age of control. Before the dawn of a new era... there was a storm.

He crossed the Grand Line and rose to power, destined to become one of the strongest men in the world. As the younger brother of the future Strongest Man Alive, Edward Newgate, he had only one question: "If big brother wants a family... why not build one of our own?" Thus began the rise of Edward Aike—a man who would shake the foundations of the seas, not through ambition or conquest, but by forging a true family stronger than any empire.

Could it be that my wolf side was affected by the dragon because of the smell of its blood? Disregarding the fact that he was naked, I approached him and my breathing became labored as my senses heightened to an intense level I never knew possible. “Who would dare do such a thing to him!” I angrily said aloud and that was when his eyes opened, causing my breath to get caught in my throat. He was breathtaking! His lashes were white and they shimmered while his iris were gray in color. “Ingrid,” he breathed out my name and my eyes widened in wonder at the fact that he knew my name.
