Zhuge Kongming earned a reputation as one of the greatest tacticians of the Three Kingdoms period of third-century China. Following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Luffy and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, unveiling dark mysteries and battling strong enemies, all in order to reach the most coveted of all fortunes-One Piece. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate ransacking villages for fun, Luffy's reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder: the thought of an exciting adventure that leads him to intriguing people and ultimately, the promised treasure. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy who defies your standard definition of a pirate. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding One Piece-which promises an unlimited amount of riches and fame-and quite possibly the pinnacle of glory and the title of the Pirate King. His last words before his death revealed the existence of the greatest treasure in the world, One Piece.

There are only two men Zheng feels he can rely on: Bi, a general who commands 30,000 men and Xin, the leader of the Fei Xin force. With trouble quickly brewing in the shadows, the internal struggle of Qin is only complicated further. However, the Zhao forces retreat a mere half-day after clashing with Jiao's army. As they grew to trust each other during the coalition battle, Zheng now accepts Jiao as his replacement. However, Cheng Jiao, Zheng's half-brother, volunteers instead. In the royal court, due to the lack of generals capable of responding to the incoming threat, Lü slyly suggests that Zheng take command. Meanwhile, a Zhao army numbering 20,000 troops has set out toward Qin. In 18 months, he plans to interrupt Zheng's coming-of-age ceremony. Having played the role of king in the coalition battle, Zheng has the trust of the people-but Lü is far from out of the fight. There, the political parties led by Ying Zheng and Buwei Lü continue their inner conflict. The victor of the battle, the state of Qin, is no different. įollowing the conclusion of the large-scale coalition campaign, the entirety of China is in a state of economic recovery. Although this picture-perfect family is founded on deception, the Forgers gradually come to understand that the love they share for one another trumps all else. And just like Loid is hiding his true identity, Yor-who is an underground assassin known as "Thorn Princess"-and Anya-an esper who can read people's minds-have no plans to disclose their own secrets either. Unfortunately for Loid, even a man of his talents has trouble playing the figure of a loving father and husband. He will enroll Anya in Eden Academy, where Loid hopes she will excel and give him the opportunity to meet Donovan without arousing suspicion. Enlisting the help of unmarried city hall clerk Yor Briar to act as his wife and adopting the curious six-year-old orphan Anya as his daughter, Loid enacts his master plan. However, his true intention is to gather intelligence on prominent politician Donovan Desmond, who only appears rarely in public at his sons' school: the prestigious Eden Academy. In the bustling Ostanian city of Berlint, Twilight dons the alias of "Loid Forger," an esteemed psychiatrist. In spite of their plots, renowned spy and master of disguise "Twilight" fulfills dangerous missions one after another in the hope that no child will have to experience the horrors of war. Corrupt politicians, frenzied nationalists, and other warmongering forces constantly jeopardize the thin veneer of peace between neighboring countries Ostania and Westalis.
