Chapter Title: A Giant Dragon?!
-------------------------------------
In a deserted forest.
A baby, looking to be about a few months old, slowly opened his eyes. Logically speaking, a child of this age appearing all alone in a forest would definitely cause him to panic, and he’d likely burst into tears in the next second. However, there was not the slightest trace of confusion in this child's eyes. He seemed to know clearly exactly where he was and what he needed to do.
"Is this the world of One Piece?"
The child muttered to himself in his heart. His name was Evan, and he was a transmigrator. Before his death, he had been grinding a microtransaction-heavy mini-game officially licensed by ‘One Piece’. On the third day of playing the game, Evan suddenly heard a call from the heavens informing him that he had obtained an incredibly precious opportunity to transmigrate. Not only that, but he could also transmigrate with the five Devil Fruits in his game backpack, along with the special physique he had obtained through his microtransactions.
When Evan heard that, he had originally refused, until the voice from heaven informed him that if he didn't transmigrate, he would have to go to hell. Evan considered it for a moment, but he was ultimately forced to agree.
Evan thought that by relying on the special physique he had obtained from his six-yuan first recharge*, which allowed him to eat multiple Devil Fruits, along with the five Devil Fruits in his backpack, he would definitely be able to thrive in the world of ‘One Piece’.
At least, he still thought so a second ago, until...
When Evan saw a giant dragon lying behind him — entirely scarlet, covered in scales, and exuding a ferocious aura — he finally realized that he had been deceived. This wasn’t the world of ‘One Piece’ at all...
"Were you abandoned too?"
The scarlet dragon looked at the baby Evan, who had short brownish-red hair, up and down and spoke in human language.
"A giant dragon?!
This is a giant dragon, right?
This is absolutely a giant dragon, right?
And it can speak human language?!
One Piece has giant dragons, but it doesn't have talking giant dragons...
Could it be that this isn't the world of One Piece at all?!"
Evan looked at the entirely scarlet dragon in front of him, his body constantly trembling. He realized that he seemed to have been scammed. He wanted to do something, but in the end, it all just amounted to a baby's random thrashing.
"Little one, what do you want to do? But no matter what you do, it's meaningless. You’ve been abandoned. If no one raises you, you’ll die very soon..."
The scarlet dragon looked at the baby in front of her while speaking incredibly cruel words.
"A Devil Fruit, I must eat a Devil Fruit..."
However, Evan didn't have the leisure to listen to what the scarlet dragon in front of him was saying right now. His mind, currently filled with the desire to survive, told him that he had to eat a Devil Fruit to save his life from the giant dragon in front of him.
Thinking this, Evan willed open his system.

-------------------------------------
Just as Evan was about to summon his Devil Fruit, he suddenly hesitated, because he remembered an important problem. He seemed to have no teeth right now. With his current combat power, it seemed like he couldn't bite through the outer skin of a Devil Fruit...
For a moment, Evan wanted to cry, but his spirit of self-preservation as a transmigrator kept him from giving up. Since right now, he couldn't eat the Devil Fruits himself...
Then he would let the giant dragon in front of him eat them!
As everyone knew, excluding those existences with special physiques, whether animal or human, one could only eat a single Devil Fruit. Once a second Devil Fruit was eaten, bad things would immediately happen.
Evan wasn't sure how many Devil Fruits the giant dragon in front of him could eat, but right now, this was his only way to save himself.
Evan possessed a special physique and could eat an unlimited number of Devil Fruits. This was also Evan's biggest cheat, the guarantee that made him believe that he could definitely become a supreme powerhouse in the world of ‘One Piece’.
Originally, out of the five Devil Fruits in his backpack, aside from the Human-Human Fruit, Ordinary Person Model — also colloquially known as the Human-Human Fruit, Commoner Model — which he had drawn due to his terrible luck...
He had prepared to eat them all himself. But in order to survive, he now had to make some sacrifices. For this reason, he planned to give up his Human-Human Fruit and the Magnet-Magnet Fruit.
Having made a plan in his heart, Evan immediately summoned a Devil Fruit from his backpack. Instantly, a bizarre-looking fruit appeared out of thin air right into Evan's hands!
The baby-sized Evan cradled the fruit, which was about the size of a child's head...
Originally, he intended to summon two Devil Fruits in one breath, but it seemed that he could only take out one Devil Fruit at a time. Only after one Devil Fruit was eaten could he summon another Devil Fruit.
Evan wasn't sure if this was because his mental strength was currently too weak, or if it was a problem with the system, but right now, he couldn’t care much about it.
However, Evan was currently very calm. He decided to wait until the giant dragon put the Human-Human Fruit, as well as himself, completely into its mouth. Then, the instant the first Devil Fruit was eaten by the giant dragon, he would immediately summon the second Devil Fruit!
He was going to take a gamble— gamble that his speed was fast enough, and gamble that the giant dragon would be immediately killed by the two Devil Fruits!
Once the giant dragon was dead, Evan would immediately summon the Zoan-type Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast Model, Azure Dragon. Using the teeth inside the giant dragon's mouth, he would cut off a tiny piece of the Devil Fruit's flesh, taking advantage of the characteristic that, aside from a few extremely special ones, Devil Fruits wouldn’t pick corpses as their host.
Evan only needed to peel open the Devil Fruit's skin and eat a tiny bit of its flesh to immediately obtain the massive vitality of the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast Model, Azure Dragon, thereby gaining the capital to survive in this world!
Thinking this, Evan, who was holding the summoned Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Commoner Model in his hands, blinked his pure, large eyes and offered it up to the giant dragon.
After doing all of this, he waited patiently. He waited for the giant dragon to open its bloodthirsty maw and swallow him and the fruit in his hands in one bite.
"Spatial Magic?
Is that fruit for me?"
The scarlet dragon watched as the baby in front of her summoned a fruit with calm eyes. She extended her slender neck forward and sniffed the Devil Fruit that Evan was holding up with all of his might in his chubby little hands. Then, she stuck out her tongue, gently flicked it, and swallowed the fruit from Evan's hands in one bite.
"She didn't eat me?"
Evan looked on, stunned by the giant dragon who had merely eaten the Devil Fruit in his hands and hadn't harmed him at all.
He had originally thought that the red dragon in front of him would finish him off in one bite. After all, in the games he used to play, red dragons were all evil dragons symbolizing ruin and destruction! Moreover, they were the strongest and the most ferocious type of dragon among the evil dragons!
As such, right from the start, Evan had treated the giant dragon in front of him as an evil existence.
"So disgusting..."
"This is truly the most disgusting fruit I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. I feel like I'm going to throw up..."
The scarlet dragon tried to spit out the bizarre fruit she had eaten, but she failed.
The bizarre nature of a Devil Fruit lay in the fact that once it was swallowed, it definitely couldn’t be spat out anymore. Moreover, the instant it was eaten, one would automatically gain the power of the Devil Fruit.
Just as the scarlet dragon's expression twisted and her gastrointestinal tract constantly convulsed...
A peculiar power spread throughout her entire body.
A change that the giant dragon had never anticipated was taking place inside her body.
Her massive body gradually shrank. The wings behind her back slowly disappeared, and the prominent horns on her forehead slowly flattened. The scarlet scales on her body, as beautiful as the setting sun, became transparent, now only faintly discernible...
A moment later, the giant dragon that originally exuded a tremendous sense of oppression had vanished without a trace.
In its place was an elegant and majestic-looking woman with loose scarlet hair.
The woman's eyebrows and eyes naturally carried a heroic spirit. Her figure was plump and proud, and her skin was pure white and delicate. Although there was a distinct scar across her navel and lower abdomen, it didn’t look ugly. Not only did it not break the woman's overall aesthetic appeal, it instead added a different kind of beauty to her figure...
Just like that, the originally ferocious giant dragon had disappeared, replaced by a peerless beauty.
"..."
The beauty's body trembled slightly. As she felt the changes in her body, her eyes were filled with disbelief. She hastily looked down at her own body. She looked at her hands, looked at her feet, and looked at her now human body. In an instant, tears silently flowed from her eyes.
"Are you a child bestowed upon me by the heavens?"
After a long while, the woman walked up to Evan. She gently picked him up, her exquisite face filled with a profound expression known as maternal love.
At this moment, the woman had already treated Evan as a child bestowed upon her by the heavens.
"It looks like I don't have to die after all..."
Evan looked at the woman and let out a shallow sigh of relief in his heart.
"But this really isn't the One Piece world, huh..."
Evan wanted to cry, but he had no tears. The moment the giant dragon in front of him ate the Devil Fruit and transformed into a human...
He was one hundred percent certain that this wasn’t the world of ‘One Piece’.
Originally, Evan was still wondering if his luck was just too absurd, encountering a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user right from the start who hadn't appeared in the original work. But this thought was disproven after the giant dragon ate the Human-Human Fruit. If the giant dragon in front of him was truly a Devil Fruit user, she wouldn't be stupid enough to eat a second Devil Fruit...
"Then where on earth is this?!"
Evan thought to himself.

T/N - Hey guys! JayM here with another banger novel translation. This time, it’s a Fairy Tail fanfic. Actually, this has been translated before, and I’ve read that translation myself. Though after about 100 chapters, the translation quality dropped by a lot, and I had to stop reading it. It was a pity too as I liked this novel quite a bit. And late last year, the previous translator seemed to have dropped this novel halfway through. Now that I’m translating Chinese novels, and seeing that no one picked this up, I figured I might as well try my hand at it.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the story! ♥️
