One Piece: Capitalist Brook's Crew Expansion Plan Novel

A protagonist travels back in time and takes over Brook's body fifty-two years before the present, managing to revive him successfully. With this second chance, they embark on an ambitious recruitment strategy to gather the strongest individuals of the coming generation while they are still unknown or young. Charlotte Linlin, a mere sixteen-year-old girl wandering as a pirate, becomes the protagonist's first recruit. Edward Newgate, only twenty-two years old and still an obscure pirate operating within an unnamed crew, is recruited next. Shanks and Buggy follow soon after, joining the growing roster of future powerhouses. The recruitment mission continues as the protagonist sets their sights on the Kingdom of Germa to search for additional talented individuals. The core objective remains clear: systematically recruit all the major powerhouses who will shape and dominate the next era, securing them before they achieve prominence elsewhere.
