The accident should have killed me. Instead, I woke up half-buried in mud beneath a gray sky — inside the body of a tortoise. Not a mythical beast. Not a hidden prodigy. Just a small, slow creature in a world where strength decides who lives and who dies. I have no legendary weapon, no overpowered system, and no destiny guiding me forward. I have a cracked shell, fragile limbs, and a human mind that remembers what it means to struggle. In a land where even kings and ancient beasts fall chasing power, survival is not guaranteed. And if I cannot be the strongest — then I will endure. One step at a time.

But Roy did not agree. “Then let me ask you this... If there were an ability user who could analyze and collect all Devil Fruit powers, and who was unaffected by Seastone or seawater… couldn’t he rely on Devil Fruits alone to reach the pinnacle of this sea?” To prove his belief, Roy took action. Many years later. The Red Line, the Holy Land Mary Geoise, was engulfed in raging flames. Above Pangaea Castle, the one responsible stood calmly in the sky. A pristine white Marine cloak fluttered violently in the wind. “Are you going to make an enemy of the world?” The World Nobles demanded. Roy only bared his teeth in a grin. “Wasn’t I already an enemy of the world?” He smiled. Those who followed him stepped forward from behind.
