One Piece: Fate's Unyielding Marine

Drum Island.

The wind and snow roared all over the sky.

Dylan didn't have time to complain about why there was such weather at the "equatorial" part of the planet.

After several days of waiting, the ship organized by CP had successfully escorted Bell-mère to the Drum Kingdom.

"Our mission..."

The leading CP member looked at Dylan and was about to put down Bell-mère and leave.

"Where are you going?" Dylan snorted coldly, "Do you want me to carry her up myself?"

The CP members were silent for a moment, then waved back. The crew members on the ship followed Dylan up the mountain, carrying the stretcher.

After arriving at Dr. Kureha's castle, Dylan waved his hand to signal the CP agents to leave.

The CP members didn't hesitate and left with the others.

"Is it her?"

Dr. Kureha looked at the unconscious Bell-mère with a serious expression. "The injury is quite serious."

Dylan sat aside and didn't say anything. He just looked at Dr. Kureha. "Can you ensure a complete cure without any sequelae?"

Dr. Kureha was silent for a moment and then said, "It's a bit difficult. She was penetrated by powerful Haki in the internal organs. She didn't lose her life because her will was supporting her."

"Understood."

Dylan stood up and walked to the window.

"I'm going to the New World and will be back in about a month. Can you keep her alive during this time?"

"No problem," Dr. Kureha nodded. After receiving the answer, Dylan disappeared.

A bolt of lightning flew towards the "New World".

Looking at the distant lightning, Dr. Kureha was silent for a moment and then shook her head. "Amazing kid..."

······

New World, Dressrosa.

Doflamingo, who had just become king, was reading the newspaper in the palace.

"Marine Rear Admiral fought alone against Red-Hair Pirates in West Blue, and the third figure of Red-Hair Pirates, Yasopp, died."

"Fufufufu, he's quite a powerful guy..."

Although there was no picture, Doflamingo knew the strength of the Red-Hair Pirates.

And the man who had met him once in Demon Valley Town actually had such strength.

"Are you complimenting me?"

A voice sounded, and a man sat leaning on the windowsill of the palace.

Baby 5, who looked like a maid next to him, turned around and raised her hand without thinking when she heard the voice.

As she raised her hand, her arm transformed into a gun.

"Stand down!"

Doflamingo shouted lowly.

Baby 5 was stunned at first, and then asked in disbelief, "Young Master?"

Dylan looked at Baby 5 and Doflamingo indifferently.

Before Dylan could speak, Doflamingo grabbed Baby 5's wrist and pressed down the muzzle of the gun. He shouted again with a sullen face, "Stand down!"

After Baby 5 left, Doflamingo sat down again. "Hey, what are you doing here, Vice Admiral Rairyu?"

"Rairyu?" Dylan was slightly startled.

"Hey, it seems you don't know yet, Dylan. Your code name is Rairyu."

"Hmph," Dylan looked at Doflamingo. Wasn't this bastard originally so lawless that he dared to provoke anyone?

"I came to ask for someone."

"You want someone?" Doflamingo's face darkened. "Who do you want? I am a Warlord of the Sea, you..."

Seeing Dylan's expression growing colder, Doflamingo forced himself to swallow his next words: "You're not asking for my family, are you?"

"What do I want with those small fries of yours? Give me Mansherry."

"No!" 

Doflamingo's veins bulged instantly. "Mansherry is indispensable! She's crucial to my plans!"

"Am I negotiating with you? You don't really think that being a Shichibukai can protect you, do you? You little sparrow who flirts with death!"

Dylan jumped down from the windowsill, plunged Shura's scabbard into the ground, and smoothly drew the sword.

Doflamingo's breath caught. This man...

He's serious!

"The World Government—"

"To hell with the World Government! You're just a little punk who knows a tiny secret." Shura's red blade scraped the ground, sparks flying.

"I'll give you a minute. How about you try asking someone for help now? Sengoku? Kaido? Mariejois?"

"·········"

"Mansherry...you have to return her after you use her." Faced with the murderous intent Dylan exuded, Doflamingo finally gave in.

This is a man who doesn't play by the rules, even more outrageous than him!

"Are you bargaining with me? What qualifications do you have to bargain with me?"

Dylan took out a cigarette and lit it.

After taking a puff, Dylan placed the cigarette butt on top of the cake that Baby 5 had just brought over.

"Time is ticking. Don't waste the chance I'm giving you."

Doflamingo gritted his teeth and shouted towards the door: "Trebol! Bring Mansherry up!"

Trebol poked his head out and immediately exclaimed, "Rai...Rairyu!?...Doffy..."

"Hurry up!" Doflamingo shouted.

As the cigarette burned and Dylan watched him, the sweat on Doflamingo's forehead grew denser.

Just as the sparks were about to reach the cigarette butt, Trebol rolled up a girl the size of a thumb.

"You...you..." Mansherry's eyes filled with tears the moment she looked at Doflamingo.

Seeing Mansherry's pitiful appearance, even Dylan, filled with murderous intent, couldn't help but feel a little pity.

Dylan glanced at Trebol, who trembled all over and gently placed Mansherry in front of him.

"Can you do me a favor? My friend is seriously injured and needs medical attention. She's a Marine, a very kind Marine."

Mansherry clasped her little hands together and looked up at Dylan. "Are you a Marine too? But why..."

"Yes, I'm a Marine too. In return..." Dylan turned to look at Doflamingo. "I know what you're planning. You can't succeed in this venture, and all the Dwarves you've deceived and imprisoned will be freed by me."

After a moment's thought, Dylan looked at Mansherry. "With this guy here, Green Bit isn't safe. Do you have to live there?"

Mansherry shook her head. "No, we don't have to stay on Green Bit."

Dylan nodded. "Would you be willing to move to where I'm stationed? It's safer there."

Doflamingo's eyes burned with anger as he listened to Dylan's words.

This bastard! The Dwarves are crucial to my plan!

"You got something to say?" Dylan suddenly raised his head and looked at Doflamingo. "Put away your dangerous thoughts and take advantage of the fact that I'm not in such a bad mood right now."

The muscles on Doflamingo's face trembled as if his body had been hollowed out. He turned to Trebol and said, "Bring those Dwarves up!"

Hearing these words, Mansherry had an incredulous look on her face.

The bad guy in pink clothes in front of her was actually willing to let her tribe go?

It was the hero who saved them!

Mansherry flew to Dylan's shoulder and clasped her hands together. "You must be the legendary hero who can save the Tontatta Kingdom. Can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Dylan. Adams Dylan," Dylan said with a smile.

"Dylando, thank you."

When the 500 tired Tontatta Tribe were brought up and saw Mansherry in the room, they all gathered around.

"Princess, are you healed?"

"Princess."

Mansherry stood on Dylan's shoulder, pointed at Doflamingo, and said loudly, "I am not sick; it was the bad guy who deceived us! Then..."

She pointed at Dylan and said, "Dylando saved us!!"

"It's so... so awesome!!! Dylando!"

"Dylando!!"

After buzzing for a while, Dylan glanced at the livid Doflamingo and then at Mansherry.

"Let's go back to Green Bit first. Your king still needs to decide on the migration."

When he reached the door, Dylan stopped and looked back at Doflamingo. "If they have not migrated, that is their choice. But if I find out you step into Green Bit again, I will kill you."

Doflamingo lowered his head and said nothing. Dylan had no intention of asking for an answer from him.

After Dylan left the palace, a powerful Conqueror's Haki blast erupted from the top of the palace.

Dylan glanced up disdainfully.

If some things hadn't been figured out yet, I would kill you right now!

After following the Dwarves back to Green Bit, Dylan met Gancho, the leader of the Tontatta tribe, and was warmly received by them.

After the banquet was over, Gancho sat across from Dylan. After a moment of silence, Gancho said, "Mansherry is right. We do not exist attached to Green Bit. The place where we are is Green Bit. But..."

Gancho's expression was somewhat solemn. "In order to abide by a certain 'promise,' we cannot leave here. Therefore..."

Dylan nodded. "That is also your choice. I have warned Doflamingo. Before I fall, he will not have the guts to attack you again."

"Really... I really appreciate your taking care of us... In that case..." Gancho leaned on his crutches and pondered for a moment before saying, "We can't guarantee Mansherry's safety for the time being. Let her follow you, and besides..."

Gancho stamped his cane, and the scene suddenly became quiet. "Leo, Kabu, Wicca, and Bian, you can go too."

"Follow...follow Dylando?" Leo's eyes lit up.

"That's right," Gancho nodded and said to Dylan, "They are all the best warriors among our young people. In addition to guarding Mansherry, they will also perform your mission."

"Ha~~~~??"

Leo screamed in displeasure. "Really, the princess is willful, has a bad temper, and likes to hit people. Why do we have to do this kind of thing?"

"Leo!!!" Mansherry rode on Leo's head and punched him. "What are you talking about? Leo!?"

"It hurts, it hurts! Come down quickly, princess, you are too fat. Really, you are such a savage and bad-hearted woman!"

······

On the coast of Green Bit, Dylan took Mansherry, Leo, and the others aboard the CP organization's ship.

Gancho stood on the shore and looked at the sails going away, leaning on his crutches with both hands.

"Gancho, does this really not violate the 'promise'?" An old man with the same white beard and hair walked up to Gancho and looked at the sea.

Gancho did not answer, and under his sunglasses, it was not clear what his expression was.
