Hawke never expected a simple pair of matching necklaces to ruin his life.
After buying them with his girlfriend, Sarah, he begins wasting away under a vicious curse. Just as death closes in, the memories of his previous life awaken. With both lifetimes merging into one, Hawke realizes the truth: he is living in the Marvel Universe.
At the same moment, he also awakens a mysterious Replacement System, a power that lets him exchange one thing for another through equivalent trade.
His first move is obvious. He uses the system on the cursed necklace and receives a character card: Marine Vice Admiral Kizaru.
Once fused with the card, Hawke gains Kizaru’s overwhelming power: a monstrous physique, the Glint-Glint Fruit, the Six Powers, Armament and Observation Haki, and master-level swordsmanship.
After saving himself, Hawke immediately goes to find Sarah, only to discover she is caught in something even worse. When he removes her cursed necklace, a demon appears and reveals that it has already made a contract with her.
Furious, Hawke crushes the demon in a one-sided battle that sends shockwaves far beyond the scene itself.
That fight is only the beginning.
With knowledge of the future, power from another world, and a universe full of danger and opportunity ahead of him, Hawke steps onto a much bigger stage. Heroes, villains, gods, and monsters will all come to know his name.
And this time, he will not just survive the Marvel Universe.
He will change it.
