I, a New Marine Recruit, Am Coldhearted and Ruthless

"In this life, I'll pursue power and strength by any means necessary, with reckless abandon."

"I'll control my own fate and the fates of others. Whoever dares stand in my way, I'll kill!"

Li Xiang, a crime boss reborn, arrives in the world of One Piece and resolutely joins the Navy, climbing from the ranks of a new recruit toward the highest position.

In the eyes of the public, he is the embodiment of justice.

In the eyes of his partners, he is an unpredictable butcher.

In the eyes of the Five Elders, he is one of their own, fit to become the Commander-in-Chief of the Entire Military.

Until one day...

"Sakazuki, my good brother, why are you drinking alone?"

Li Xiang arrives at a tavern and pats the gloomy Akainu on the shoulder.

"I hear the Five Elders just told you that an admiral's dignity is worth jack squat. Want to shove that crap right in their faces?"
