One Piece: Fate's Unyielding Marine

Hachinosu Island.

This has been a famous pirate island for decades.

Because it is located deep in the New World and the surrounding natural environment is very harsh, it has never been occupied by the World Government.

Today's Hachinosu Island has long lost the laughter and excitement of the past.

"The strongest creature" Kaido of the Beasts was also defeated...

Nowadays, there is only one big pirate who can be named on this sea...

Only "Blackbeard" - Marshall D. Teach.

Can he still be called an Emperor of the Sea...

Those pirates who had been rewarded for their evil deeds were plunged into endless panic.

Escape?

There is no way to escape. Although many places in the New World are not occupied by G5 due to geographical conditions, their fleets have been cruising across this route.

Fight?

Those who thought so had already died in the battles of Sabaody Archipelago and Dressrosa.

Pirates are very well-informed.

They understand better than the world who the people who appeared in those two battles are and what kind of power they represent.

Blackbeard...Does he really have what it takes to fight against the "Rairyu"?

"It seems we are in a very bad situation."

The captains of the Blackbeard Pirates gathered together.

Although G5 has not taken direct action against them in recent years, it has frequently compressed their living space.

Today, they only have the sea area of one or two hundred miles around Hachinosu Island left.

They feel more like a group of playthings kept here by the "Rairyu".

The butcher's knife may come at any time.

······

Grand Line.

Kamabakka Kingdom.

As Dylan landed, Monkey D. Dragon, who sensed his presence, soon appeared in front of him.

"Are you going to start?"

"Soon."

Dylan opened his Observation Haki and felt his surroundings.

Only Dragon and Koala are here; the other senior cadres are not.

"Do you need our assistance?"

This time, Dragon didn't test him and stated his wishes straightforwardly.

"Unnecessary."

Dylan's attitude towards the Revolutionary Army is even worse than towards the Marines.

Although there are issues in the Marines, the vast majority of them still try to maintain peace and bravely combat criminals.

What about the Revolutionary Army?

Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!

Destruction like locusts passing through.

After the destruction, they have no idea how to rebuild. They never consider the fate and outcome those countries face after they leave.

In their minds, they were victorious once they defeated the fallen rulers.

Then what?

Go to the next place and reenact the scene.

Seeing the indifferent look in Dylan's eyes, Dragon pondered slightly: "Although you say so... the Revolutionary Army will still act according to their own wishes."

"I know, so I'm here to inform you."

Although he has a lot of people on his side, if they were spread out across the entire sea, he would still be stretched thin.

In twenty years, this is the limit of what he can do.

"You should also know that even without me, it would not be difficult for my people to destroy the Revolutionary Army, but I didn't do that. Why?"

Dragon did not deny this.

Although he hasn't fought anyone from G5, based on his guess, there are three to five people from East Blue alone who can suppress him.

What about G5?

What about his other secrets?

"I know, this is also the reason why the Revolutionary Army withdrew from East Blue. Whether it is the upper-level power or the grassroots power, you... are far ahead of the Revolutionary Army."

The originally calm sea around Kamabakka suddenly turned into a gust of wind and waves.

"But I'm still going. As a person!"

······

Twenty-five years ago.

Monkey D. Dragon, who was still serving as a Vice Admiral in the Marines, had high hopes from his father.

Just after Roger was arrested, Dragon received a special transfer order.

An order from Mariejois.

He was transferred to the garrison of Mariejois and was responsible for guarding it.

Although Dragon had some doubts at the time, he still accepted the transfer order.

It was this year of garrison that completely changed his beliefs.

The sins of the Celestial Dragons repeatedly shattered his sense of morality.

Those alien and human slaves who were captured and trafficked.

They were like animals who did not know which would come first, death or tomorrow.

The Celestial Dragons enjoyed vast and exaggerated wealth.

They wielded unfettered supreme power.

Slap!

"Damn thing!"

A golden pistol was pressed against a woman's forehead.

A Celestial Dragon looked angrily at the woman kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. There was no pity in his eyes.

Just because this damn slave walked a step slower, half a step behind the other Celestial Dragon.

This made him lose face!

"I'm sorry... I really don't have the strength anymore..."

The woman knelt on the ground and trembled, muttering to herself.

Her eyes had lost their color, and she knew it was useless to beg for mercy.

Bang!

After the gunshot, the woman fell into a pool of blood.

Dragon, standing in the distance, clenched his fists tightly.

Is this... the world the Marines are protecting?

He had been stationed all over the world and knew what those countries were like.

He had seen what many countries did to become a "World Government member country" or to maintain their status as a member country.

But here...

Dragon's body was trembling, his heart roaring in his chest, and the blood in his veins rushing.

"Ah!"

A low exclamation interrupted Dragon's deep thoughts.

A long-haired woman ran around the corner and bumped into Dragon, who was trembling with anger.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

After the woman apologized, she looked around, her expression becoming tense.

In the distance, a group of slave-like people were rushing toward them, with anxious expressions on their faces.

"Hey! That Marine! Have you seen...?"

Before the man finished speaking, he was pushed by his companion.

Realizing his mistake, the slave paused and asked, "Did you see anyone else pass by here?"

Other people?

Dragon looked at their anxious expressions.

Did a slave escape?

This woman?

"Help,"

A soft voice came from behind Dragon: "I managed to escape with great difficulty. Let me see the outside world."

Dragon's heart tightened, and he said expressionlessly to the slaves on the opposite side: "I've been here the whole time, and I haven't seen anyone else."

"Should..."

As soon as the slave who asked for directions opened his mouth, he was kicked in the waist by his companion: "Are you crazy!?"

The slave who asked for directions turned pale instantly. Although he was in a hurry just now, if he really said it...

"Look elsewhere!"

A group of slaves ran off into the distance.

After they walked away, Dragon still stood there: "Who are you? A slave?"

"Ah? Ah...Yes, I just escaped. Well...can you take me out of here?"
