Half a month later.
The report of "The original Seven Warlords of the Sea - Crocodile's conspiracy to steal the country was stopped by the Marines" spread around the world.
Dylan looked at the angry Smoker and the embarrassed Tashigi in the newspaper.
These two got a lot of credit for nothing, and each of them got a promotion, but...
Smoker's mentality changed dramatically from here.
Although he used to be a "mad dog" in the Marines, he basically followed orders and the general direction.
Since the Alabasta incident, his trust in the "Marines" and the "World Government" has been further reduced.
"Nico Robin, have you unlocked the historical text about 'Pluton'..."
Kuzan should also know about such dangerous things, and her survival must be linked to Kuzan.
In Dylan's opinion, there are almost no absolutely righteous generals in the Marines, in terms of compassion.
Perhaps "Ship Cutter" T Bone counts as one.
As for everyone else, they have their own positions and ideas.
Sengoku ordered the capture and execution of all pregnant women and babies on Baterilla Island to cut off Roger's bloodline.
During the "Summit War," they ordered indiscriminate attacks and sacrificed peripheral Marines for tactical execution.
To ensure Ace's safety, Garp did not stop this behavior.
As for Aokiji and Fujitora.
One let Robin wander among gangsters and pirates, while the other watched the death of Dressrosa's poor people to prove his justice.
Don't tell anyone.
As for Dylan himself?
Dylan stood up and looked at Shura next to him.
He never wanted to be a saint, and he could never become one.
He also kills people because of his likes and dislikes.
For example, two years later, if he meets Momonosuke who traveled across time from 20 years ago.
Even if he is really "Uranus", I'll still kill you.

Marineford Conference Room.
The only people in the entire conference room hall were Vice Admiral Tsuru, Kuma, and two other officers.
"Hey, what are you doing!?"
"I'm sorry! Be careful! My body is out of control!"
One of the officers suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the other one.
Vice Admiral Tsuru put her chin in her hands and said: "Are you the one causing trouble? Doflamingo? Let them go, be good!"
"Be good? Fufufufu, if you want to say that..."
As soon as Doflamingo's gesture changed, the Marine holding the weapon was about to stab his companion.
"If you don't behave well, you have to be careful when that guy comes over. He's not as easy to talk to as us."
Doflamingo gestured and his expression darkened.
In the corridor on one side of the conference hall, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared.
Dylan walked beside Fleet Admiral Sengoku and glanced at Doflamingo, who was frozen in place.
"What? Do you want me to beg you? Come down and sit!"
Doflamingo was silent for a moment, then laughed dryly: "Fufufufu... You still have such a bad temper, Dylan! You've taken good care of my business."
Dylan walked over to Vice Admiral Tsuru and sat down next to her, looking at Doflamingo, who was already in his seat: "If you keep talking, I'll take 30% of the tax on Dressrosa's business from now on."
"·······"
Vice Admiral Tsuru pursed her lips and smiled, while Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was sitting in the chair, seemed not to hear it.
"No one else will come, this time..."
Ta Ta... Ta Ta...
Hawkeye walked into the hall carrying Yoru on his back.
Sengoku said with some confusion: "I didn't expect you to come."
Hawkeye glanced at Dylan and said, "I'm just passing by, and... this time I'm just listening."
Just as Sengoku was about to speak, a soft voice suddenly came from the window of the conference hall: "Then can you also participate in this audit..."
·······
After the meeting, only Vice Admiral Tsuru, Sengoku, and Dylan were left in the hall.
Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Dylan and said, "That kid just now seemed to be very afraid of you? Have you seen him before?"
Dylan replied while lighting his cigarette: "Well... I met them once in Paradise and beat them up."
"The people on Whitebeard's ship? They are really tough guys, but... they are just used to fill the position of Crocodile after it is abolished."
"Is there anything wrong?"
Sengoku looked at Dylan, who was casually watching. This was a little different from his usual style.
Dylan flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "No. I've seen those bastards before. Although they are real villains, they still have the strength to serve as Shichibukai."
"That's it."
Looking at Dylan walking out of the conference hall, Sengoku lowered his head and said to Vice Admiral Tsuru: "Tsuru, do you think Dylan is a little unusual this time?"
"It is indeed true, but we don't know the reason yet."
"Because of 'D'?"
Marshall D. Teach.
······
Just when Dylan came to the square and was about to leave, several familiar figures attracted his attention.
Old man Garp was sitting on the bench chewing donuts, while two young men were training on the court.
"This is the disciple you chose?"
Dylan glanced at the slightly fat pink-haired boy with a look of disgust on his face.
"Ah?"
Garp keenly sensed Dylan's malice and suddenly felt a little strange.
Although this guy is very cruel to pirates, he is very kind to Marines and civilians.
"I heard that your grandson did great things in Alabasta, old man Garp."
Dylan sat on the other side of the bench, squinting at the "King of Deserters" in the school field.
Garp closed the donut bag in his hand and turned to look at Dylan: "Luffy... is the path he chose, and... as long as he didn't do evil..."
"Yes, that's right. As long as he has not done anything evil, I will not take action against him. But..."
Dylan turned to look at Garp, who seemed a bit shaken: "You have to keep an eye on him, Garp. If he's just taking risks, or like in Alabasta, I won't care. Even if he kills people and sets fires to a certain extent, it's tolerable. But—"
"If he becomes the flag-bearer of the pirates, then it won't be up to you, and it won't be up to me either!"
Dylan stood up and left, and Garp vaguely seemed to hear him say: "As a Marine, you are successful, but as a father, grandfather, and teacher, you have failed."
Pere~Pere~Pere~Pere~
"Lord Thunder God?"
"Huh? Gan Fall?"
"The currents this year were surprisingly strong, and a group of people took advantage of them to come to Skypiea."
Dylan paused and looked at Gan Fall, who seemed concerned. "Is he a guy wearing a straw hat?"
"Huh? Yes! That's true, but they didn't rob here, they just played around and had adventures."
"Gan Fall..."
Dylan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I don't need you to make judgments about other people. All you have to do is report the situation objectively. Are you trying to influence my judgment?"
On the other end of the phone call, Gan Fore was trembling: "No... I didn't mean that..."
"Is the stone still in the Thunder Temple?"
"Yes, Lord Thunder God, no one has ever come close."
A smile appeared on Dylan's lips: "Okay, don't worry about them for now, but if they try to get close to or break into the Thunder Temple, you can contact me again."
The historical text recording the information of "Poseidon" was moved to the Thunder Temple by Dylan a few years ago.
In the past few years, he has been busy with training and G5 matters, and has basically never gone back, and the stone is not a red "Road Poneglyph".
He didn't take it too seriously.
After all, he already knew what "Poseidon" was.
So far, Dylan has basically confirmed that many things cannot be changed.
As early as nearly 10 years ago, Dylan asked Gan Fall to cut off the "ladder" over the Blue Sea, but the Straw Hat Crew still reached Skypiea with the unprecedented huge current.
He changed Nami's fate, but Nami was still attracted to Straw Hat.
He has already changed the fate of the Drum Kingdom, and Straw Hat has still obtained the support of the people.
All this shows that many things are difficult to change.
Be it fate or the will of the world.
As long as you have enough power in your hands and are strong enough, unless the world can come down and impose its will.
otherwise...
What the f**k God of the Sun and Moon, if I cut off your head, can you still do anything?
