The Surgeon’s Legacy

An age after legends, a new pirate sets sail. Kaen D. Reiji, captain of the Hollow Pirates and son of Portgas D. Ace, searches for his own place in the world while carrying the legacies of the past. But when whispers of a forgotten inheritance surface, Reiji’s journey begins to collide with a mystery tied to one of history’s greatest surgeons.

After rumors of the mysterious Surgeon’s Treasure begin spreading across the seas, attention shifts to a different pirate crew in the North Blue. A calm and brilliant young captain follows a lead connected to the legacy of Trafalgar Law. While the world sees treasure, he sees purpose. As reports of the Flame Pirate spread, two paths begin moving toward the same destination. The search for the Surgeon’s Treasure has begun.

Reiji finally discovers the truth. The treasure everyone has been chasing was never Trafalgar Law’s Devil Fruit. Realizing the raiders misunderstood Law’s legacy, Reiji takes the map and sets his sights on the true destination. Meanwhile, far across the sea, Soran D. Kurohira follows the same trail. Two heirs. One legacy. One impossible island. Next stop: The Island That Shouldn’t Exist.

Chapter 4: The Island That Shouldn’t Exist The search for the Surgeon’s Treasure leads Kaen D. Reiji and Soran D. Kurohira to a place that should not exist. An island hidden from history. An island where ancient ruins stand beside buildings from impossible eras. As Reiji and the Hollow Pirates explore its mysteries, they are ambushed by those who call the island home. For the first time, Reiji reveals the true power of the Mera Mera no Mi, combining fire and Shambles into a devastating fighting style that leaves his enemies unable to keep up. On the opposite side of the island, Soran and the Kurohira Pirates arrive and face a similar attack. Unlike Reiji, Soran ends the battle without harming a single opponent, demonstrating the precision and control of the true Ope Ope no Mi. But the island holds a greater mystery. Separated by miles yet following the same trail, both Reiji and Soran discover identical stone markers bearing a symbol neither expected to find: The Heart Pirates emblem. And beneath it, a message left behind long ago. A message that changes everything. “If you’re reading this… You found the wrong treasure.”
