“Pirates must be completely wiped out!”
That brutal conviction was branded into his soul.
To gain the power to shape his own fate and eradicate every pirate, and to find his one and only remaining family member, Ares throws himself into the Navy’s harshest crucible.
He forges his flesh into steel and sharpens his will into a blade. Following the path of justice, he puts iron-and-blood justice into practice with his fists amid endless bloodshed and gunfire.
Yet the World Government’s shadow, the hypocrisy of the pirate factions, and the choices awaiting him at the pinnacle of power keep forcing him to ask: when order itself is tainted by darkness, whom does this bulwark, built on absolute strength, truly protect?
I like this kind of setting without too many cheats. The protagonist works hard and knows what he wants instead of being pushed away by cheats. He doesn't say he will fight Whitebeard immediately after joining for a few months, but grows up step by step.
I haven't finished it yet, but there are too few aboriginal pirate novels that are step-by-step and without special exaggerated system plug-ins. If the author can maintain this level of writing and the settings don't collapse in the later stage, it should be considered a rare masterpiece.
The novel gave me the feeling that it borrowed the characters from the original work, but changed the plot.
