"I'm Marine! My job is to guard the Holy Land."

To avoid being discovered by others, Dragon stood where he was and didn't look back.

Although it was only a brief moment, he clearly remembered that the woman behind him did not have her hair combed upward, and there was no chip mark unique to Celestial Dragons on her right neck.

There was no weird oxygen mask either.

That's why he concluded that the woman was a slave and not a Celestial Dragon.

"That..."

After a moment of silence, the woman's faint voice came from around the corner:

"Are you going to take me back..."

There wasn't much sadness in that voice, but Dragon, who had just witnessed the scene of the slave being shot, felt shaken inside again.

Take her back?

What will be her fate...

Take her away?

But... I am still in the garrison period...

"You go."

Dragon looked at the sky: "I won't catch you, and I can't take you away. Since you can escape, I hope you can make it on your own."

He couldn't see the look on the woman behind him, but thinking about it... she must be very disappointed.

After a while, the woman's voice came from behind him:

"Thanks."

Then he heard the sound of soft footsteps gradually disappearing.

Why...

During this year of garrison, many things he held on to in his heart were shaken.

He just had a glimpse, that woman... To be honest, she was very beautiful.

But in a place like this, the more beautiful a woman is, the more miserable her fate will be.

Being played with, abused, transferred, given away.

A deep sense of powerlessness and self-blame surged into Dragon's heart.

Another group of Celestial Dragons led their slaves across the road from him.

The slaves, who looked either numb or frightened, were crawling on the ground like animals, following the pace and rhythm of their "masters" and crawling forward quickly or slowly.

"·········"

An uncontrollable anger surged into Dragon's heart again.

Simply...

Damn it!

······

After returning to the station, Dragon lay down in the bathtub.

Getting more and more tired and confused.

What is he protecting, and who is he protecting?

Is the Celestial Dragons' "unlimited power" really justified?

Just as Dragon slowly closed his eyes, a rapid alarm sounded.

Hmm?

He got dressed and walked out of the station. All the Marines outside had gathered together.

"Vice Admiral! An order came from Pangaea Castle. A very important person is missing there. Marine is ordered to assist in the search!"

Dragon's heart skipped a beat, but he still asked expressionlessly: "Who is it?"

"It's not clear yet, they just say it's a woman."

Really!

Dragon nodded towards the Marine at the station: "Then you help with the search, I will be there later."

"Yes!"

Can the person Pangaea Castle ordered to search for... be a slave of the direct royal family?

The identification of Celestial Dragons is very strict.

Even if a slave captured from the "lower world" becomes the concubine of a Celestial Dragon, she cannot obtain the status of a Celestial Dragon.

But the offspring they give birth to can. After the Marines left, Dragon walked towards the Little Garden next to the station.

"Come out."

Rustle...

The shrubs in the garden shook slightly at first, but no one responded.

"If you don't come out, I'll leave."

"No! Wait..."

Just when Dragon was about to turn around and leave, the woman emerged from the bushes.

The woman from noon.

Dragon looked at the leaves on her head and the dirt on her face and was slightly stunned: "I said, I won't help you leave, and I don't want to arrest you, you..."

"I have nowhere else to go. There are all those people wearing white clothes outside..."

CP...

Dragon was silent again. Since it was Pangaea Castle that gave the order, CP would definitely be dispatched.

Driving her out by yourself would be tantamount to killing her.

"Follow me."

After returning to his residence, Dragon took out some food and put it on the table.

"You can leave on your own after the search is over."

"Okay..."

After saying that, the woman carefully picked up the food on the table and started to devour it.

Watching her, Dragon stood up and walked towards the door. The woman raised her head: "You..."

"I'll go on a mission... you stay here."

"Okay..."

After walking around outside, Dragon returned to the Marine station.

When he returned to his residence, the woman had fallen asleep at the table.

There were still some food residues stuck to the corners of her mouth.

Seeing the tired look on the woman's face, Dragon sighed, took off his cloak, covered her body, and finally locked the door. He walked to the sofa on the other side and lay down.

······

Mariejois was on alert for a full two weeks.

Although the search had begun to spread from inside the city to outside the city, Dragon became more and more confused.

This woman...

What is her identity? Is she the concubine of the Five Elders?

For half a month, he had been carefully hiding the woman.

He once asked her where she ran away from, but the woman had no idea.

Dragon even suspected at one point that she was a Celestial Dragon.

But she did not have a "chip" on the right side of her neck, and her behavior and speech were completely different from the Celestial Dragons.

Was her memory extracted by the power of a Devil Fruit?

Or has she been locked up somewhere without any contact with the real world?

Just when Dragon was confused, Mariejois's ban was lifted.

What followed was an order regarding his transfer.

"Pirate King - Gold Roger" is about to be executed in East Blue, and he has also been transferred back to Marineford.

Dragon's face showed joy when he received the order.

"You can leave now!"

"Leave?"

This woman is so simple that she doesn't even have her own name.

The smile on Dragon's face froze again.

After getting along with her for half a month, he could clearly feel how little this woman knew about the outside world.

Apart from being able to speak, eat, and take care of herself, her knowledge of the entire world is blank.

Even if she returns to the sea...

She will likely be easily deceived and become a slave again.

"Let's go back to the sea first..."

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Dragon."

Dragon disguised her as a Marine and took her away from Mariejois.

"Is this the sea? Mr. Dragon!"

The woman lay on the window looking at the vast sea and exclaimed.

"How big is the ocean?"

"What's under the sea?"

"Can sea water be drunk?"

This ship was his special vehicle. After leaving Mariejois, he had already passed a message to the headquarters and needed to return to the Kingdom of Goa first.

As the son of "Marine Hero" Garp and a powerful Vice Admiral, Marineford is exceptionally tolerant.

"We will reach my hometown in a few days. You can settle down there."

"I have one more important thing..."

Before Dragon finished speaking, a warning came from the watchtower.

"It's a ship belonging to the CP organization! They have the intention to attack!"

Dragon stood up solemnly.

Has it been discovered...

He glanced at the bewildered woman, sighed, and walked out of the cabin.

"Monkey D. Dragon, hand over that woman."

On the opposite bow stood several CP0 members wearing white clothes.

CP0...

Seeing that Dragon didn't answer, CP0 raised his hand, and several ships surrounded his warship.

"You are the son of 'hero' Garp. You have a great future in the Marines. I hope you..."

Before CP0 finished speaking, Dragon slowly took off the "Justice" cloak behind him.

"Marine—"

"I don't want it!"

T/N: Who do you think she is?
