Age of Discovery: All You Dark Overlords, Welcome Your Emperor

36 years ago, the Rocks Pirates were defeated in the God Valley Incident.

Lorne, who had built the underworld's entire power structure, forged the Dark Empire at the height of its glory, and was revered as its "King," was rumored to have vanished after losing his greatest partner.

From that day on,

the underworld was left without a leader.

Imu: "His appearance is without a doubt an unprecedented headache!"

Whitebeard: "Captain Rocks warned us time and again never to provoke this man, Lorne!"

Hero Garp: "It was only with his covert help back then that the Rocks Pirates could so quickly become the masters of the seas!"

Red-Haired Shanks: "Captain Roger and Mr. Rayleigh mentioned Lorne many times. They said his name foretold disaster!"
