One Piece: Tempest of the Dawn

In a world where the rubber fruit was never consumed, the snap of latex is replaced by the deafening crack of thunder.

Having eaten the volatile Goro Goro no Mi as a child, Monkey D. Luffy's destructive potential catches the immediate attention of the world's most formidable pirates. Taken under the wing of Red-Haired Shanks and trained through the gruelling, Haki-infused discipline of Silvers Rayleigh, Luffy sets sail at seventeen not as a reckless brawler, but as a highly competent, observant, and lethal swordsman.

Armed with Valkyrie-a legendary, gold-winged Grand Line sabre-and piloting a custom-built electromagnetic skiff, Luffy embarks on a quest to become the freest person on the sea. But a captain who is a walking natural disaster needs a compass to guide his storm.

A more disciplined, technically masterful, yet still unmistakably goofy Luffy begins his voyage, altering the balance of the Three Great Powers forever. From the ashes of Mt. Colubo to the heights of the New World, the era of the Tempest has begun.
