One Piece: From the Start, a Child of God Valley

Warning from Marine Headquarters: This is not a biography of an upstanding Marine.

Roland could have used his abilities to become the world's greatest deliveryman. Unfortunately, he was adopted by “Black Arm” Zephyr at an early age.

Roland’s life philosophy is simple: Justice must be carried out, but carrying out justice takes a lot of meat.

When he encounters all sorts of pirates? Roland: “Great, they’re all experience fodder! I can send them off to the afterlife and rack up enough merit to cover my food expenses!”

When Roland is sent to eliminate human traffickers? Roland: “Human traffickers? Oh, they’re not people. They’re takeout orders that need to be banished to the ends of hell. I might as well see if I can loot some Berries for a large serving of roast meat!”

From “the monster kid at Zephyr’s house” to the World's Strongest, Roland uses his mastery of martial arts, a black blade, and his uncanny spatial abilities to carve out a haven on the chaotic seas.

His goal? Simple: Get stronger while avoiding dying of exhaustion, starvation, or at the hands of old man Zephyr, then stop the old man and himself from meeting a potentially tragic future.

Warning: Do not try to stop Roland from eating. When he’s hungry, he really will teleport the entire World Government building to Neptune.

Come on, this era is too crazy. The Marines need a “temp worker” who can teleport an entire pirate ship to the entrance of Impel Down!
