One Piece: Starting from the Roger Pirates

In the Hidden Cloud Village, also known as Kumogakure, there is a man who holds the title of Dodomeki. They say that when he was born and the doctor slapped him to make him cry… he slapped him back. The doctor still goes to therapy. They say that when he fell for the first time as a child… the ground was the one that lost out. Now there's a new ravine that wasn't on any maps. They say that when he was at the academy, he told the teachers how to teach. The Raikage had to ask him to raise the teachers' grades. They say that at the hot springs there are three sections: men, women, and then him. Because when he goes, none of the men dare to go, and there are too many women. They say that if an incurable disease appears, he rolls up his sleeves, and the disease becomes curable from fear. And that was only during the first week of his life!

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

In a world where everyone is born with the potential to awaken a power known as Arcana, the path to strength is a dangerous one. Awakening requires a "Persona Split"—a psychological fracturing where the mind loses its grip on reality. Caught in the chaos of who they truly are versus what they have become, many mages lose control, their newly found powers spiraling into destruction. Fourteen-year-old Silver Archive wants no part of this cycle. His only dream is a life of peace, far from the tragedies that have haunted his clan. But as the third in line to the nearly extinct Archive name, the pressure to awaken is mounting. Will Silver become another victim of the Persona Split, or can he find a way to claim his power without losing his soul?
