"Rear Admiral Dylan, the procedures still need to be completed." Although Magellan didn't like Shiryu, he couldn't let him leave without evidence.

"Oh, got it."

Dylan pulled out his Den Den Mushi.

"Fleet Admiral? It's Dylan."

Sengoku's voice came from the Den Den Mushi, which transformed into glasses: "What's wrong? There won't be a fight so soon, right?"

"Am I such a guy in your mind, Fleet Admiral?" Dylan teased before getting to the point. "I need to transfer Impel Down's Warden Shiryu to the G-5 base. I've already communicated with him and Director Magellan."

"Shiryu... Dylan, Shiryu is not an ordinary swordsman. I hope you can suppress him and not let him be controlled by his desire to kill."

Sengoku pointed out the problem bluntly, not caring whether Shiryu himself was around.

"Of course, Fleet Admiral. Unless he becomes more powerful than me one day, he will always be the Marine's sharp sword."

"Mark your words, Dylan."

As the call ended, Dylan looked up at Magellan, who nodded silently before looking at Shiryu, who was much taller than him.

"You have a chance to challenge me once a year. If you win, I'll let you go free, and you can even take my life. If you lose, you must obey all my orders unconditionally for the next year. Any problem?"

"It's so direct... Huh..." Shiryu exhaled a puff of smoke. "But... I accept! With a strong man like you, my sword won't be lonely."

Walking outside the gate of Impel Down, Dylan glanced at the sky and said to Shiryu, "You'll go to the G-5 base for now. I have to go out for a while."

"Got it."

Dylan glanced back at the bottomless prison. After Impel Down, he turned into lightning and disappeared. Shiryu grinned at Magellan and then boarded the departing warship.

Watching them leave, Magellan frowned.

Marineford.

Training grounds.

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

Bell-mère was sparring with a middle-aged Marine, both covered in Armament Haki.

Dylan sat on the bench outside the court and watched their offense and defense.

"You've been in East Blue for so many years, why are you just thinking about training her now? To be honest, after she's a teenager, her achievements may be limited no matter how hard she trains."

Aokiji walked over to Dylan with a recliner under his arm.

Dylan looked at Aokiji, who had collapsed on the recliner, and couldn't help but complain.

Sure enough, except for Akainu, everyone in the Marine is a lag monster.

"Not necessarily. After all, the most indispensable thing in this sea is miracles, right?"

"Is it a miracle?" Aokiji mumbled, not refuting Dylan. He just pulled down his blindfold to block the sun.

"By the way, there's a case over there in Water 7... You go check it out on my behalf and don't cause any trouble."

"Water 7!?" Dylan frowned and thought for a moment. "Tom's trial?"

"Ah! You know about this? I have to go out for a while, so I'll leave the affairs of Water 7 to you."

Aokiji had become lazy and decadent since experiencing the Ohara incident.

In his early years, he believed in "bloody justice," but after witnessing Akainu attacking Marines and civilians for missions, he began to doubt the Marine's concept of "justice."

No longer caring about many things.

Except for his little loli!

"Okay, I also want to meet the guy who built Roger's ship... But Kuzan, if I encounter something that goes against 'justice,' how should I deal with it?" Dylan asked casually, staring at Bell-mère who was fighting on the field.

Aokiji's originally limp body stiffened: "Is it contrary to 'justice'? This question has been bothering me for many years. Why don't you give me the answer!"

"Understood."

Dylan stood up and shook out his cloak.

In the school field, Bell-mère saw Dylan getting up, stopped sparring, and her figure turned into a shadow as she came to Dylan.

"You have a good grasp of Soru," Dylan looked at Bell-mère, who looked like a delinquent girl. "The Armament Haki coverage has also made some progress. You still have two months, and you'll report to the G-5 base in two months."

"Yes, sir." Bell-mère saluted very seriously at first, then added with a smile, "It's really serious, Rear Admiral, but... when will the salary be paid? I almost have no money to smoke~"

"······"

Dylan turned to look at Aokiji, who was sitting on the recliner. "Hey! Kuzan! We're all your subordinates. It shouldn't be a problem to advance a little salary, right?"

"Ah... don't you have any money? I know that although you distributed most of the loot from the pirate eradication in East Blue to the poor, the rest is definitely an astronomical figure, right!?"

Dylan spread his hands: "That's right, but... I don't have it with me. I'll have to send someone back to pick it up after G-5 is built. So, you bastard, aren't you going to pay wages to your lovely subordinates?"

Looking at the expectant Bell-mère, Aokiji didn't react for a while: "That's not the case... it's just..."

"Go to the Internal Affairs Office and collect 100,000 berries," Dylan said to Bell-mère. "Tell them it was Admiral Kuzan who advanced your salary!"

"Yes!" Bell-mère appeared in the distance in a flash, three times faster than before.

"Hey, hey!" Aokiji scratched his head. "This way... ah... forget it, I don't have many people here anyway... just do whatever you want."

After saying that, Aokiji lay back down again.

A smile appeared on Dylan's lips: "Then I'll head over there, Kuzan. If I encounter any trouble on the way to pursue 'justice,' you have to help me share some of it."

"I know, I know." Aokiji waved his hand in the air, seeming very impatient.

After Dylan's breath disappeared, Aokiji said to himself: "Is there a different kind of 'justice'? What will it be like?"

·······

Water 7.

The famous shipbuilding holy land. In addition to "Pluton," one of the Ancient Weapons, it also built the "Oro Jackson," the vessel of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and the "Thousand Sunny" of future Pirate King Luffy.

In the sky, Dylan looked down at the "Sea Train" whizzing past the sea and couldn't help but praise it.

"A wonderful invention."

On the sea not far away, a judicial ship was parked on the water.

One with purple hair and an ugly, weird face was holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand.

The contemporary CP5 captain—Spandam.

"Pluton!?"

"Yes, it is the 'Lost Ancient Weapon'. The blueprint should still be in the hands of someone in Water 7, most likely Tom. After all, he built the 'Oro Jackson' for Roger. After this task is completed, you can be promoted to CP0 in advance."

"C...CP0!!!???" 

Spandam, holding the Den Den Mushi, was shaking with excitement.

"That's CP0!!"

"Damn it, that old man, his crimes will be offset in three days!"

"Damn it! Damn it! You must not miss this opportunity!!"

Dylan was suspended in mid-air, watching Spandam's every move.

A unique training method from Sky Island, Observation Haki's "Mantra," allowed him to perceive every move and even the inner thoughts of a creature weaker than him without any obstacles.

"His agreement with the 'World Government' cannot be broken, but... we absolutely cannot just let him return to his free status..."

Spandam rolled his eyes and thought of the two children beside Tom.

"Hehe... Hehehe... Since the crime of building the 'Oro Jackson' is going to be offset, then... I will add one more crime to you!"

Dylan looked coldly at Spandam, who was smiling sinisterly in the cabin, took out the Den Den Mushi from his arms, and passed the recording to Aokiji.

After receiving the recording, the other end of the Den Den Mushi fell silent, and then the call ended silently.

"Still escaping? Kuzan..."

The "Ohara Buster Call" was initiated by Spandam's father, Spandine, and it had something to do with Aokiji.

Dylan put the Den Den Mushi back in his arms and slowly rose towards the clouds high in the sky.

"Spandam...you can be considered one of the few top scumbags in the world."

Dylan's eyes narrowed slightly, then opened suddenly.

Countless lightning flashes emerged from around his body, and the already overcast weather instantly became more oppressive.

"Ha~~~?"

Spandam pushed open the hatch and looked at the thunderclouds rolling overhead.

"Does the paradise also have such weather?"

"Sir, something is not right." A CP5 member walked to the cabin door. "This is not an ordinary weather change."

"What's the meaning!?" 

Spandam looked around and asked, "What do you mean by unusual weather changes?"

"Maybe... some kind of creature is controlling the weather. I think we should leave this sea area as soon as possible."

"Leave!???"

Spandam screamed.

"Leave?"

A voice appeared on the deck: "Who said you can leave?"
