"Why on earth..."
Momonosuke looked at the sea in confusion.
Whenever they tried to leave the island, those strange people came in big boats and shelled them.
On several occasions, they even nearly destroyed their ships.
Kin'emon's face was gloomy.
Those people... are blocking them.
But why not attack directly?
Raizo, Nekomamushi, Inuarashi.
All their vivre cards were burned.
Did something unexpected happen to Zou? Are they from Kaido?
"Your Highness Momonosuke... We can't wait any longer... We must return to Wano."
Hearing the word "Wano," Momonosuke had a look of horror on his face.
"Now... now... go back? It's better... than..."
"Your Highness!"
Kin'emon was kneeling on the ground, and Kanjuro could only kneel down together when he saw this, but there was a trace of imperceptible viciousness in the corner of his mouth.
"Although it is very difficult! But we and the undead are willing to fight to the death! We are waiting..."
"I will assist Your Highness to regain the position of Wano's 'shogun'!"
Momonosuke's body trembled: "But... but... Kaido is still there..."
"Your Highness..."
Kin'emon sighed: "We must believe Lady Toki's prophecy! Someone will definitely come to help us! You have inherited Lord Oden's bloodline, and you will definitely be able to revive the name of the 'Kozuki Family'!"
On a warship in the distance on the sea.
Ain stood on the deck looking at the beach.
The two weirdos were kneeling in front of the child and kowtowing.
"Next time they sail in the direction of Wano, let them go."
"Yes!"
Ain tightened Shusui in her hand.
Although her swordsmanship is derived from Dylan, it also incorporates Shimotsuki Ryuma's "Dragon-Slaying Swordsmanship."
Dylan told her after the Dressrosa incident.
In the battle of Wano not long after, she was one of the people who had to participate in the battle.
Because her Shusui and "Dragon-Slaying Swordsmanship" will have some special effects there.
As for the specific function, Dylan didn't say clearly, and Ain didn't ask further.
She believed in Dylan, all the way through.
This sea has changed too much because of his arrival.
She doesn't want to be a hero; in her heart, she is the same as Shiryuu.
It is a sword that requires no thought.
"Rairyu" - the sword in the hand of Adams Dylan.
...
Sakura Kingdom, which is in Drum Island.
Dylan sat in the palace, with the Guyman brothers standing on either side.
Dalton sat flanking Dylan.
After the "Blackbeard Attack", Dylan never set foot on Drum Island again.
Although he has given a lot of support to Drum Island.
But Dalton's heart was always tense.
And this time, Dylan's arrival finally relaxed the strings in his heart a little.
Before the Battle of Sabaody Archipelago, Dalton inexplicably launched a war against Alabasta.
Although it ended hastily due to the arrival of the "Battle of Sabaody Archipelago," the Kingdom of Sakura suddenly became a big country comparable to Alabasta because of that lightning-fast raid.
"What did you do before?"
Although Tahir once analyzed that Dalton's move was to "get into Dylan's sight."
But Dylan himself still has some doubts, Dalton...
Buffalo turned into bison?
No... this guy is originally a Bison Fruit user.
"Preparing for war."
Facing Dylan's question, Dalton was silent for a moment and answered honestly.
"Oh?" Dylan glanced at Dalton. This guy, although his appearance has not changed much in four or five years, his whole temperament has become completely different from before.
In the past, he always had a silly smile on his face.
It is also called kind and gentle.
But now.
Dylan looked at the calmness in his expression and the vitality rushing inside his body.
He looks a bit like a king.
This world...
The proper world of diodes.
Or just downright evil and depraved like Wapol.
Or they are kind and weak like Cobra and King Riku.
It seems that among all the kings, there is no one who is normal and talented.
As long as there are one or two wise kings, let alone Li Er and Zheng Ge.
Even Zhu Chongba and Xiu'er, who had only one bowl at the beginning, would not lead their lives in such a virtuous manner.
Just put a weak king like Cobra in his hometown.
That's right, I want to dig the grave for future generations.
Here we are, good guy, benevolent ruler! Enlightened ruler!
Dalton didn't bother him when he was watching Dylan wandering around, but still sat respectfully aside.
It was not just him who changed, but the entire country.
Especially after G5's cleaning tour in the park for more than a year.
The development of the Kingdom of Sakura has exceeded imagination.
With the support of Greenbit and some mysterious scientists, the name "Medical Country" returned to the Kingdom of Sakura.
Strong medical level.
A lifestyle that is rich but not extravagant.
United people.
Even Alabasta next door is struggling against the increasingly powerful Kingdom of Sakura.
"Paradise shouldn't be a big problem, Dalton."
Dylan turned slightly.
"Ambition should be limited. Without sufficient foundation, blind expansion will only accelerate the collapse of the country."
"The territory of the Kingdom of Sakura... ends here."
Dylan stood up and walked towards the door. The howling wind and snow poured into the castle along the door.
Looking at the distant mountains and the strong soldiers outside the castle, Dylan said solemnly: "If you want to participate in the war, I won't stop you, but you have to remember that the purpose of war is not aggression."
As Dylan disappeared, the Guyman brothers looked at each other and walked out.
On the distant mountain peak.
Dylan stands in "The Witch's" castle.
"Ah... it came so soon... I thought it would be later."
Kureha sat by the windowsill holding a cigarette. Although she was talking about surprise, her expression was very calm.
"Looking for answers?"
Dylan glanced at her, this woman who lived for 140 years in a human body...
"I never look to my enemies for answers."
Outside the castle, strong winds and blizzards filled the sky. Kureha nodded.
It seems that this answer is not surprising.
"Come to kill me?" The cigarette in her hand was blown by the strong wind.
"No."
Dylan glanced at the medical equipment around him.
"I'm not one of those Mariejois guys, and I don't think 'D' will be able to do much in the future."
Kureha was slightly stunned when she heard Dylan's words.
After Dylan warned her, she never left the Kingdom of Sakura.
Occasionally, she only went down the mountain to discuss medicine with the new medical team or to replenish some necessary daily necessities.
Dylan had also considered before whether she would leave the Kingdom of Sakura and go to Sabaody Archipelago or Dressrosa to help the Straw Hats, but she did not do either.
It seems that after helping Teach transform her body, the agreement between them was cleared.
"Although you are not here to seek answers... but..."
After pondering for a while, Kureha finally said: "The Drum Kingdom has received favors from the D clan, and we have promised them that when someone from the D clan comes to seek help, we will repay them with medical skills."
"This agreement... has been completed."
"That's why I won't kill you."
Not participating in the previous two battles has proven her stance and attitude.
Although Mariejois's secret line once said that the Five Elders also paid some attention to her.
But just like what Dylan said to Shiki back then.
He did not want to pursue history beyond the necessary information.
Nor does he want to bury history.
"When this is all over, I will release Tony Tony Chopper at my discretion. But both he and you must be subject to a certain level of supervision. The crime of destroying Enies Lobby-"
"Use medical skills to 'atone' for your sins!"
