One Piece: Fate's Unyielding Marine

Review this story

"Name? Didn't he tell you?" Dylan looked at Ain and Shiryu.

Ain held the handle of Shusui tightly and shook her head. "He said that he was just a ghost of history and did not need to leave his name."

"Well... He is Wanokuni's 'Sword God' - the 'Dragon-Slaying' samurai - Shimotsuki Ryuma."

"Then this sword..."

Ain could clearly feel the power of this sword, and even now she was still a little unable to control it.

"It's Wanokuni's 'national treasure' - the black sword 'Shusui'. It's the famous sword that Ryuma once used to kill the dragon."

On the sofa next to him, Shiryu said a little weirdly, "You have to be careful. There are only three such swords in the sea. If the strength is not enough, even with Dylan as a deterrent, I am afraid someone will not be able to help but take action because of it."

Ain glanced back at Shiryu, who still didn't understand the meaning.

Shiryu played with Raiu and looked at Shusui. "Do you know why its blade is black? Don't you think it looks familiar?"

Ain looked at Shusui's blade with a serious look on her face. "Is it Haki?"

"Yes, it's Armament Haki." Shiryu held his cigar and blew out a puff of smoke. "This state can only be achieved by the holder using extremely powerful Haki and insisting on covering it with Haki for several years or even decades. On the sea, this kind of sword is generally called a 'black sword'."

Shiryu looked at Ain with a half-smile. "So far, there are three black swords in the sea. Black Sword Yoru, the holder—'Hawk-Eye' Mihawk. Black Sword Shura, the holder—'Rairyu' Dylan. The black sword Shusui, the holder—'Moon Slayer' Ain."

"Who do you think those guys who are obsessed with swords will attack?"

Ain was stunned at first. Although Dylan had said before that this was "Wanokuni's national treasure," she didn't have much idea in her mind. It wasn't until this moment that she understood the value of what was tied around her waist.

"As a swordsman, of course, I will not be afraid of fighting!" Ain's eyes darkened. "This is not only the wish of Vice Admiral Dylan, but also the entrustment of Mr. Ryuma. No matter what dangers and challenges, I will cut them off one by one!"

Dylan ignored her impassioned speech and asked suddenly, "Ryuma's swordsmanship should be mainly about slashing and attacking weak points, right? How did you gain?"

Ain didn't know how he knew it, but she was used to the man's near omniscience and omnipotence.

"It's very amazing... but I need more fighting. This kind of swordsmanship requires constant fighting, to find flaws in the enemy and the enemy's moves to improve myself."

"Is that so..."

Dylan pondered for a moment.

He did not object to his subordinates fighting; in some aspects, he even supported it. But since Miss Buckin suddenly appeared a few years ago and was bumped into by himself and Vice Admiral Garp, she immediately disappeared.

At that time, Dylan knew that these remnants of the big pirate groups must have something unknown in their hands; otherwise, it would be impossible to let them go with the power of Mariejois.

Be it Rocks' remnants or Roger's crew. Some people even live blatantly in the public eye. Such as Rayleigh, Crocus, Buggy.

What is it that makes the World Government take such chances?

To say that the Five Elders are idiots for letting King Luffy grow from a 30 million berry trash to the "Fifth Emperor," Dylan did not believe.

There must be some kind of force restraining Mariejois, preventing them from taking action easily. But this power has never been exposed directly.

Was it the "Great Kingdom" it once was? Or is it Joy Boy's will? D's will? "Drums of Liberation"? Or is it the will of "Nika"?

"Oh shit!"

Dylan stood up with a bang, and Ain and Shiryu next to him were stunned.

"What a f**king grassroots hot-blooded comic. In the end, it's just The Adventures of the Prince! All of them are f**king actors. How can I beat 1 against 9?"

Shiryu looked strange, and Ain lowered her head slightly.

Occasionally... Vice Admiral Dylan will say something that no one understands. It'll be fine once you get used to it.

Dylan slumped down on the sofa and waved, and Shiryu and Ain wisely withdrew.

He can use his memory advantage to make some arrangements in advance, but in certain areas, there must be a red line. As long as he crosses or even touches that red line, there will be power that has never been shown before to collide with him.

For example, Miss Buckin, although Dylan is sure he could kill her, as she said herself, she is probably at the level of an ordinary crew member in Rocks at best. After all, Kaido, who was a Oni back then, was just a trainee crew member.

What about Rocks himself? What about other cadres?

"Valley of the Gods"... why was it wiped off the map again?

Outside the G-5 base, there is a dock.

"Hey, Tom, isn't it done yet?"

The shipyard was built between two mountain peaks, in a huge cave filled with various metals. In addition to the boatman Tom, there are several people wearing white scientific research clothes who are constantly taking out metal ingots from a furnace for analysis and testing.

Bellmère walked into the cave with her hands on the back of her head.

"Not yet, Bellmère, but the clanging metal is almost ready." Tom picked up a piece of metal, tested it, and put it back.

Three years ago, after Dylan got the "Munch-Munch Fruit", he asked Vegapunk to help him fuse it in a small furnace.

Some time later, when Dylan sent some of the special alloys obtained through the "Munch-Munch Furnace" to the Vegapunk office, Vegapunk showed great interest and expressed a willingness to cooperate with the G-5 base.

The condition of the cooperation is that the Vegapunk Institute will detect and analyze the properties of metals for Dylan and be responsible for providing the power system for his ship. G-5 is responsible for providing some rare alloys for Vegapunk himself to research.

Looking at the neatly stacked timber on the side of the cave, Bellmère muttered, "Treasure Tree Adam... I don't know where this guy got so many. I heard they are very expensive."

After counting the metal ingots, a scientific researcher said to Tom, "After calculation, all the materials needed for the Kinryu have been prepared, including the error losses that may occur during the construction. So..."

The researcher closed the notebook in his hand and asked, "When will it officially start?"

"How long will it take?"

A voice sounded at the entrance of the cave. Dylan looked at the metal in the room and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"According to calculations, it will take a year and three months. Subsequent testing and improvements will be carried out. It will be ready for use in about a year and a half."

People at the institute still like Vice Admiral Dylan very much. Firstly, it is very safe here, and secondly, the living and scientific research conditions here are excellent.

"Let's start as soon as possible." Dylan's eyes rarely showed expectation.

Kinryu cost him a lot of thought. Whether it's Tom, the super alloy produced by the Munch-Munch Fruit, or the Treasure Tree Adam.

Dylan paused as he turned and walked out of the cave. "Tom."

"Huh!?" Tom raised his head and looked at Dylan in confusion.

Dylan looked at the excited look on chubby Tom's face and shook his head, then said with a serious face, "As I said before, strength is fundamental! At least for the time being!"

Seeing Dylan's expression, Tom also solemnly replied, "Understood!"
