One Piece: Blood and Fire

Barron was born with nothing—no name, no power, no future. From the gutters of the sea's darkest corners, he clawed his way up, dragging a crew of shattered warriors with him. Together, they tore through the Celestial Dragons’ iron grip, shattered the invisible chains of Cipher Pol, and set their sights on the very heart of the world’s corrupted order. In this vast ocean, justice is just a tool for the powerful, and crimes are nothing more than words inked by kings. But destiny—destiny is paid for in blood, and seized by those who dare to reach for it. "Kneel and live, or stand and die. From now on—no one stands above me." ................................... [AN: This isn’t the tale of a chosen hero or an invincible pirate king. It’s the story of power earned through scars, of loyalty tested in blood, and of ambition forged in the fire of rebellion. Featuring an expanded One Piece world with deeper lore, brutal faction conflicts, and a cast of richly developed original characters, this fanfic breaks from the usual mold. No systems. No shortcuts. Just a man, a ship, and the will to burn the world down if it means claiming his throne]
