One Piece: Aizen’s Hogyoku from the Start, Evolving Through Hell

My name is Jiang Ran. I have a terminal illness, but in Pirate King, I was bound to Aizen's Hogyoku System.

While others transmigrate and become rulers, I was thrown into the prison at Impel Down from the start.

Bullied by inmates? Tortured by the warden?

I laughed.

Do you know what a “Hogyoku constitution” is?

The more I get beaten, the stronger I become. When I'm on the brink of death, I evolve!

While everyone thought I was just a scrawny prisoner, I had already secretly forged an immortal body and quietly laid plans across the entire Grand Line.

“Once I walk out of this prison, the Four Emperors? The Marines? Imu?

I'll show you who truly deserves to ‘stand above the heavens’!”

Decades later, Jiang Ran looked down at Imu in the gardens of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

“No one stands in the heavens from the very beginning, whether you or me, not even the gods.

But the vacancy on the throne of heaven is about to end.

From now on, I will be the one standing at the summit.”
