One Piece: A Warlord's Path Novel

A man suddenly finds himself transported to the world of One Piece and must decide his path forward. Joining the Marines proves unappealing, as those without powerful connections become mere pawns for the World Government, easily disposable and expendable. The pirate route offers more freedom, though facing Admirals and their overwhelming strength presents a formidable challenge. The protagonist has no ambitions to become Pirate King or lead a revolution, simply desiring a free life away from servitude. With this goal in mind, he devises a straightforward strategy: first become a pirate, then grow stronger, and finally earn a position among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. While the plan is simple in concept, executing it proves extraordinarily difficult. Despite the challenges ahead, this remains his best opportunity to achieve the independent life he seeks in this dangerous world.
