Kurogane Kazuha was just a 21-year-old college student in Tokyo, until a blinding light and a voice from the void transported him into the chaotic seas of the One Piece world. Reborn in the body of a nineteen-year-old with nothing but a katana, a ruthless moral compass, and a godlike system bound to his soul, Kazuha becomes an anomaly in a world of pirates and marines.
But this is not the One Piece world he once knew.
Monkey D. Luffy, once the symbol of freedom and hope, has turned into something far darker. Gripped by fury over the death of his brother, Portgas D. Ace, Luffy has forsaken his dream of Pirate King. What remains is a man driven by vengeance, a force powerful enough to challenge the world itself.
NOTE!!!!
The main character begins as cold and a bit edgy, but gradually grows more open and emotionally grounded as the story unfolds.
