One Piece: Fate's Unyielding Marine

Along with hesitation and struggle, she began to support him on both sides. Although she could not touch Dylan's fate, she gave him great power and influence through Mariejois. On the other side, she worked hard to correct Joyboy's fate.

The flag bearer she placed beside Gol D. Roger 39 years ago has also been fulfilling her orders. But soon he encountered a life-and-death crisis. She saw Yasopp's fate. His life ended decades early, and she had no choice but to order the Five Elders to contact Dylan directly.

At that time, Im was guessing that the other party might also know about her existence. Dylan's compromise later confirmed this. From that moment on, she confirmed that Dylan was indeed not of this world. He knows everything about this world and does not agree with Joyboy. He is changing the world in his own way. Im's heart began to waver.

Over the next eight years, she kept observing Dylan, and she could feel that Dylan was also observing her. After Joyboy went to sea, many of his original arrangements were disrupted. She had to cheer up and arrange another adventure for him. Until that day—

"Marineford Bell Day."

Seeing Joyboy being stepped on by Dylan, Im finally couldn't help it, and she took a huge risk to communicate with Dylan.

"Let Luffy go...this time...just think of it as...a mother's request."

Dylan agreed to her because he wasn't quite ready at the time. Then Dylan began to work hard in the New World.

During the "Summit War," Dylan deliberately turned on the live broadcast at the last moment to let Whitebeard spread his last words. The foundation of the world was once again shaken, and the royal power was on the verge of collapse.

East Blue, which was already impregnable, began to show its fangs and expand outward. On the Grand Line, from the Sakura Kingdom, which is in Drum Island, to Water 7. From Fish-Man Island to Green Bit, Dylan has a firm grasp. When the foundation of the lower level was solidified, the strength of the middle level was saturated, and the combat strength of the upper level was also stable, Dylan came. He came to seek answers from the world.

"I'm very tired." Perhaps because of Dylan's arrival, Im finally felt relieved of her burden.

"In the original plan, even if Joyboy and the others defeated the monster, they would pay a heavy price, and the world..." Im sighed softly, "As you said, the world will still inevitably fall into reincarnation."

"I have been waiting for you since Rocks was killed by you. But don't take it lightly. The real 'monster' is far stronger than the deformed body spliced together with scattered energy like Rocks."

Dylan stared at Im. For a long time, he has suspected that something is controlling everything. He had doubted "Tinder." He also doubted whether there was a "world will." It wasn't until two years ago that he basically confirmed that Im was leading all of this. 

But at that time, he could not confirm the nature of Im's ability, nor could he judge the specific attributes of the "national treasure." Not long ago, through Devil Fruit and sorting out some fragments, he began to come to a conclusion.

"Previous consumption has brought the Garden of Eden to the brink of collapse. Once I die, the Garden of Eden will completely wither." Im's haggard face showed relief: "Are you ready?"

Dylan nodded. He didn't tease Im. This is a woman worthy of respect. Although she, like all other races, has waited for 800 years for an illusory agreement. But for 800 years, she was alone. She maintains the "Garden of Eden" with her own body. During these long years, she may have been desperate. She had the opportunity to choose to free herself, but she did not.

Because Im knows that once she dies, the consequences are unpredictable, and no one can control the out-of-control monster. She spent her long and short life protecting the world and finding a way out and salvation for it. She spent 800 years of blank time waiting for the person who could defeat the monster to appear.

"I'm done asking what I want to ask. Next... it's his turn."

Dylan stood up and dissipated into a stream of light. After Dylan's body disappeared, a breeze blew through Little Garden.

"It's nice to see you again."

"Dragon."

Im looked at the man in front of her. Although she looked tired, there was still a smile in her eyes.

Dragon lowered his head and said nothing. He had heard the conversation just now. He didn't know how he should blame the woman in front of him. She took advantage of him and used his blood. She arranged for her son to eat a Devil Fruit from an early age, making him Joyboy's puppet from the start.

Should I hate her?

Dragon was a little confused and a little desperate. He didn't know on whom he should vent his anger.

"I'm sorry... Dragon..."

Im lowered her head, and two tears fell on the white stone table, hitting Dragon's heart. Seeing Im cry sadly, Dragon asked tremblingly, "Is everything fake?"

"It's not all, Dragon... thank you... the sea... is really beautiful..."

The surrounding flowers withered instantly, and the butterflies dancing in the air also wilted. Dragon's body shook. He walked towards Im.

Anyway...

They are husband and wife...

Just when Dragon walked across the stone table, Im's hair had changed from dry to curly. A burst of intermittent low moans came from Im's mouth:

"Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo

Umikaze kimakase namimakase

Shio no mukou de, yuuhi mo sawagu

Sora nya wa o kaku, tori no uta

Sayonara minato, Tsumugi no sato yo

DON to icchou utao, funade no uta

Kinpa-ginpa mo shibuki ni kaete

Oretacha yuku zo, umi no kagiri"

Dragon's body froze, as if his chest had been hit hard. He stood there blankly looking at the woman opposite.

"Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo

Warera kaizoku, umi watteku

Nami o makura ni, negura wa fune yo

Ho ni hata ni ketateru wa dokuro

Arashi ga kita zo, senri no sora ni

Nami ga odoru yo, DORAMU narase

Okubyoukaze ni fukarerya saigo

Okubyoukaze ni fukarerya saigo..."

As the chant gradually became inaudible, Im's body also slowly dissipated.

"Hoo...ah..."

A dizzying feeling came over him, leaving two lines of hot tears on Dragon's face.

········

Outside the halls of power, Craig, who is in his beast form, and Carmilla, who is between nothingness and reality. Ryokugyu turned into a plant monster, and Kuzan turned into a body of frost. Besides...

The magma giant whose face is no longer visible. There are still some monsters on the fourth floor hovering around, but they seem to be in some weird state. It seems to be excitement, but it also seems to be fear. The Red Line roars around the sea.

·······

Twin Capes. Shirahoshi and Tom stood on the wave and looked at the Red Line, which was slowly opening like a sheath, with a solemn look on their faces.

"Coming! Shirahoshi!"

"Yes!"

Shirahoshi closed her eyes. Under the deep sea, all the super-large Sea Kings opened their eyes together.
