One Piece: King of the World Novel

Mortal rulers tremble in my presence while Admirals kneel before divine authority. The reason is simple: nobility flows through my veins, elevating me above all earthly creatures. Luffy's dream of becoming Pirate King? A foolish delusion unworthy of consideration—he deserves only the depths of Impel Down. Dragon dares challenge Mariejois? An impossibility; ideological reformation awaits his stubborn defiance. For eight centuries, our dominion has shaped this world, and for a thousand years more, it shall remain unshaken. I am a deity among lesser beings, and should change ever come, only a god can orchestrate it. All that exists beneath the heavens bows to Celestial Dragon supremacy. "I shall reign as King of the World!"—Thus speaks Donquixote Claudius, the absolute sovereign.
