"They say the sea belongs to the strong… that the weak have no place in this world of monsters, pirates, and kings."
"Maybe they’re right. I was weak once. Just a scared kid, watching everything I loved burn to ash. My home… my people… all taken by those who thought strength was an excuse to destroy. I should’ve died that day. But I didn’t."
"Since then, I’ve made a promise — not just to the dead, but to the living. I’ll be the shield between them and the darkness. The blade that cuts through chaos. The light that refuses to go out, no matter how deep the night gets."
"They told me once, that to be a hero, you needed power. But that’s not true. You don’t need power to be a hero. You just need a heart that refuses to give up. You need to stand tall when everyone else falls, and say: ‘I’m not done yet!’"
"I don’t need a Devil Fruit. I don’t need a crew. All I need… is my will. My fists. And the strength to smile when the world needs hope."
"My name is Leonhart D. Victor. They call me the Hopebringer. And as long as I breathe…"
“…no innocent under my watch shall fall.”
