Chapter 1: 1. Monsters Of The Weakest Sea
Sea Circle Calendar 1500.
The towering execution platform in Loguetown.
As the execution sword penetrated Roger's body, the square fell into a brief silence, then burst into cheers.
Some people cheered because the evil "Pirate King" was finally executed, and more people cheered because of his last words before his death.
"My treasure? If you want it, I'll grant it! Search on! All the world had to offer, I left in that place!"
Cheers erupted in the square.
On the wall outside the square, nine-year-old Dylan was riding on the wall and scanning the field.
[Red-Haired] Shanks, [Heavenly Yaksha] Doflamingo, [Hawkeye] Mihawk, [Desert King] Crocodile, Dragon, Buggy, Moria.
Some were expressionless, some were smiling gloomily, and some were wailing.
Dylan stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops falling from the sky, looking at the strong men who would become world-famous in the near future.
"The era of great pirates has begun..."
...
Half a month later, on an unknown island in East Blue.
"Kid, this is a Marine branch, what are you doing here?"
A bearded Marine stopped a thin figure.
"I want to join the Marines."
"Join the Marines? The Marines is not a place to play house. Where is your family? Go back quickly."
Dylan shook his head: "I don't have a family."
The Marine at the door was stunned for a moment, seeming to understand something.
In this era.
Killing, looting, war, oppression. Everywhere.
Looking at the somewhat silent young man in front of him, whose clothes were shabby but not dirty, the guarding Marine nodded and said, "Wait here for a moment."
When he walked out of the base again, he was followed by a tall Marine.
"May I have your name?"
"Dylan."
"Why become a Marine?"
Why······
Dylan thought for a moment. Maybe it was because after he traveled through time, he found that his new body had nothing else to rely on except good physical fitness?
After witnessing Roger's execution in Loguetown, Dylan selected this regular and inconspicuous Marine Base from the map.
As for why not stay in Loguetown?
There will be a lot of trouble there in the future besides Smoker, so it's not a good choice.
And in addition to East Blue, people from all over the world and even the Grand Line often go to Loguetown to pay homage to Roger's "place of beginning and end."
Joining the Marines means you can get systematic training, and as long as you have talent, you can get enough resources.
Even if you can't awaken Conqueror's Haki, you can still greatly improve your combat effectiveness with "Rokushiki."
Except Tekkai!
"For peace."
Dylan said with certainty, looking at the Marine flag flying in the center of the base.
"Peace..."
Following Dylan's gaze, the Marine also saw the flag. It was that flag that maintained order and protected the sea.
"Register him as a chore boy. He can participate in basic training and be responsible for some chores."
"Yes!"
After saying that, the tall Marine turned around and went in. The Marine who was at the door waved to Dylan.
"Follow me, kid, we will be companions from now on, hahaha."
...
Sea Circle Calendar 1512.
"Lieutenant Commander, this department has summoned us to report that the tracks of the 'Red-Haired Pirates' have been found in East Blue."
"Shanks?"
Dylan subconsciously reached for the sword next to him. Is he coming to East Blue?
Shanks, why did he come to East Blue?
See Buggy? Going to Loguetown for nostalgia?
As one of the future Yonko, it is impossible for Red-Haired not to know that Goa Kingdom is Garp's hometown.
Then why did he go to Foosha Village? Looking for Garp? He probably doesn't have this strength at the moment.
Or... go to Shimotsuki Village?
"What does the Captain order?"
"Just report the trajectory, no head-on conflict required!"
"I know, tell the Captainthat I will be away for a few days."
"Yes!"
After coming out of the base, Dylan had already changed into regular clothes.
His long white hair was scattered casually on his shoulders. His height of two meters and four made his figure look even taller and more slender. There was a hint of coldness on his handsome face.
The black scabbard was inserted casually at his waist. Dylan put the handle of the sword in one hand and his other hand in his trouser pocket as he boarded the ship to the Goa Kingdom.
...
The sea area of Goa Kingdom.
A small boat floated on the sea.
In the distance was a similarly small pirate ship.
The flag on the ship was a skull with a scar on its left eye.
"Boss, there's someone in front of us, it seems he's coming for us."
Yasopp picked up the telescope and looked over, describing the other person's appearance: "There is only one person, no flag, no Marine uniform, and carrying a very long sword."
"Oh? Is he a swordsman?"
The Red-haired man walked from the cabin to the deck wrapped in bloody gauze and looked in the direction Yasopp was looking.
As if feeling his gaze, the person on the boat raised their head at the same time.
"There doesn't seem to be any goodwill, Shanks, shall I go?" said Benn Beckman, who was smoking a cigarette at the side.
"Wait a minute," Shanks raised his right hand: "Lean over and take a look."
When the two ships approached, Shanks stood on the side of the ship and looked at the boat floating beside him: "It seems like you are waiting for me?"
Dylan raised his head without touching the sword lying sideways: "Yes."
"Come up and chat? Or should I go down?"
Dylan picked up the long sword and appeared on the deck of the Red-Haired Pirates' ship in a flash.
"Bring the wine." Shanks waved his hand to stop the crew members who were about to make a move, interrupting their thoughts of admonition.
"This is a fine wine from my hometown. It tastes different from East Blue's. Do you want to try it?"
After a large bowl of strong liquor went down his throat, Shanks asked with a smile: "How was it?"
Dylan nodded without comment.
Seeing this, Shanks put down the big bowl in his hand and his expression became serious: "So... why are you waiting for me here? Marine."
Hearing the word "Marine," the others' expressions instantly became tense again. Yasopp even raised his gun slightly, but was suppressed by Benn Beckman's hand.
Ignoring the others' little moves, Dylan looked Shanks directly in the eyes and asked: "Why do people like you come to East Blue? Isn't the New World not enough for you?"
"It's just traveling around the world. This is normal for pirates, isn't it?"
Shanks looked at Dylan with a smile, but his expression was not relaxed.
Dylan looked Shanks straight in the eye, not seeming to believe this.
Shanks looked at him and then laughed: "Sorry, as for the deeper reasons, I can't tell you for the time being."
After hearing the red-haired man's answer, Dylan stood up and looked around: "Don't stay in East Blue for too long."
After speaking, Dylan jumped off the side of the ship.
After the boat traveled a distance, Shanks seemed to remember something and stood on the side of the ship, calling out: "What about you? Why are you in East Blue again?"
Dylan did not look back and raised his hand with his back to Shanks: "Like you, I won't stay here for too long."
After Dylan's boat disappeared from sight, Shanks was still looking at the sea in a daze.
"Shanks·······"
"Ah...I'm fine, he's such an interesting guy." Turning around, Shanks grinned at the crew: "I didn't expect that there are so many interesting people in East Blue. It is really the hometown of the captain?"
"East Blue?" Yasopp, who was also from East Blue, laughed: "East Blue is called the 'weakest sea'."
Before anyone else could react, Shanks looked stunned, and Benn Beckman's hand holding the cigarette froze in the air.
Lucky Roux asked while munching on the bones: "What's going on? You two?"
Shanks smiled bitterly and said nothing. Benn Beckman took a heavy drag on his cigarette and said: "In the past, we all thought that the reason why East Blue was weak was due to route problems and Garp. Now it seems..."
"Fuu~"
After exhaling a thick puff of smoke, Benn Beckman said: "In addition to Garp, East Blue also hides an amazing guy."
