The embers of the execution ground, the beginning of the furnace
"If justice requires compromise, then I would rather burn the world to ashes and rebuild from its ashes."
——Hannibal Vonn

When Vonn, a modern man with advanced bowel cancer, stopped breathing on the operating table, he thought everything was over.
But he didn't expect that he would wake up in the salty sea breeze - kneeling on the naval execution ground with his hands tied behind his back.
This is the world of One Piece, year 1518 of the Ocean Calendar.
And he became a third-class naval officer who would be executed for "escape from battle".
The moment the bullet was about to come out of the barrel, a system called the "Justice Furnace" was activated.
Use life as fuel and sin as firewood - as long as you kill evil, you can refine your strength and become stronger.
The price is that every breakthrough costs lives.
The choice is to live in decay or burn to ashes.
Vonn chose the third path:
"I will burn through this rotten world and use the ashes to reshape a new order."
