(The pacing is slow at first, with many original concepts introduced along the way. It picks up after chapter twenty, when the protagonist grows rapidly and becomes corrupted. Readers who prefer fast-paced stories can skim the first twenty chapters.)
(Set in the world of One Piece, in the year 1420 of the Sea Circle Calendar, one hundred years before the main story. Since the original One Piece has not yet concluded, some elements in this story are original.)
(Also known as: The Demon King’s Hundred-Year Journey)
For a long time, life on Ohara in the West Blue was peaceful, undisturbed by the world. Then a withdrawn girl met a boy in distress.
And so the girl saved the boy from the brink of death.
Their encounter began a story that would be buried for a hundred years and forgotten by the world.
Having found and experienced what “warmth” means, Arin once made a vow in her heart before the Tree of Knowledge.
But when the entire world turns against her, what will Arin choose?
“I don’t want to make so many choices. I just want to do what I want.”
“I never wanted much. I only wanted to live a peaceful life, but... why does everyone have to push me?”
This is the story of a boy who once fought against fate again and again, only to gradually become the great Demon King who would destroy the world.
