The Emperor Engine Echoes Across the Seas

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" KING's heartbeat: the most terrifying BGM of the Great Pirate Era!

KING, the arcade fighting-game combo king, is tricked by a mysterious "strategy guide" and swept into the pirate world by the aftershock of Saitama's punch!

Want to go home? The requirement is hellishly difficult: fill out the entire Devil Fruit encyclopedia!

A pirate's blade is right at his throat! Fear skyrockets, and the Emperor Engine roars! All his enemies freeze: "O-Overlord Haki?!"

The "strategy guide" is actually a Devil Fruit encyclopedia! Defeat a Devil Fruit user, and he can use the Star-Absorbing Technique to extract their fruit!

He can give recorded abilities to the energetic chronicler Evelyn, who carries a notebook, and even summon battle phantoms of the strongest Hosts throughout each fruit's history!

How does he control them? A game controller descends! The encyclopedia instantly transforms, perfectly matching KING's soul as a fighting-game master!

The thunderous heartbeat of the "strongest shut-in," an energetic chronicler dreaming of recording the truth, and an encyclopedia that can summon heroes from every age as "stand-ins."
