The Mask That Always Smiles

Reborn into the world of One Piece as Lord Imu, now seated upon the Empty Throne and ruling the World Government, the protagonist gazes out at the sea of stars—holding in hand a cosmic star map. With absolute power—military strength, wealth, resources—he opens the Star Gate, marching forth to conquer the multiverse and shatter the limits of Haki itself! Will you submit… or be destroyed? The choice is yours. [Author's Notes: Regardless of whether Imu in the original work is male or female, this book's version is male. “Room of Flowers” is changed to “Room of the Moon. All alternate worlds appearing in this novel—including One Piece—do not include a “Huaxia”/China equivalent and should be considered parallel universes. Events will resemble, but not replicate, the original works. Please treat this book as taking place in a parallel timeline to One Piece. Some parts will resemble canon, others won’t. Don’t overthink it.] - This is a translation, and the original can be found here; https://www.qidian.com/book/1033064951/

read the first 10 chapter, and you will like it!!! In a world where every 18-year-old is granted a noble title and a domain, Reed was never meant to rule. Born in the slums, he survived by stealing, killing, and doing whatever it took to stay alive. The world despised him, and he despised it back. But when the Day of Lords arrived, fate played its cruelest trick yet. Goblin Lord. The weakest possible domain. The most pathetic summons. A rank that was practically a death sentence. But Reed doesn’t care. He never played by the rules before, and he won’t start now. Given absolute authority over his first Hero—a deadly and completely loyal goblin woman named Shia—he embraces his title with ruthless efficiency. There are no rules he won’t break, no enemies he won’t kill, and no limits to how far he’ll rise. If the world thinks it can laugh at him, it’s in for a nightmare. Because the Lord of the Forsaken doesn’t bow to fate. He breaks it.
