Everyone says the sea is romantic, and pirates are free and fearless.
But the pirate world Lin Ye has seen holds only burning villages, flowing blood, and innocent civilians dying with their eyes open.
One transmigration and one village massacre were enough to crush every last bit of his innocence.
He is an ordinary mortal with no roots or backing, blessed with no talent, bolstered by no special bloodline, and possessing no extraordinary power.
All he has is a heart hardened by a chaotic age and a line he will never cross: he will not yield to violence or show mercy to evildoers.
The good-for-nothing Paper-Paper Fruit is scorned by the world as the weakest and most useless, riddled with flaws.
But in Lin Ye's hands, thin paper becomes a blade, scraps of paper become scouts, and a paper domain becomes a prison.
There is no brute-force domination, only careful plotting at every step, moves that strike for the throat, and merciless hunts.
The Navy is not absolute justice, but in a chaotic age, it is the only order capable of keeping the turmoil in check.
Lin Ye joins the Navy, suppressing evil with his own strength and using killing to stop killing.
He and Luffy are the sea's ultimate opposites.
Luffy yearns for unrestrained freedom. Even as war blazes across the land and kingdoms fall, he never strays from his heart;
Lin Ye protects the order that keeps the people safe. He would rather bear the bloody infamy than ever allow slaughter to spread.
They once stood shoulder to shoulder against their enemies for the people, bound together through blood and fire;
yet they also drew blades against each other over their convictions, forever incompatible.
One day, the two heroes will reach the Final Island and uncover the ultimate truth of the Void Century.
One will break the shackles and grant the sea freedom;
the other will establish the rules and suppress the world's villains.
From then on, romance will no longer be entwined with slaughter, and freedom will have order to guide it.
The tumultuous age of the sea will finally find true peace through the coexistence of iron resolve and freedom.
It looks good, this is the world view of normal people!!! Not bloody
