Marineford.
Three weeks have passed since the war.
The fortress destroyed by Whitebeard is being rebuilt in full swing.
Most of the Marines who were summoned to the headquarters have also left.
The Vice Admirals, Admirals, and the Fleet Admiral of the headquarters were all summoned to Mariejois on the Red Line to discuss the appointment of the next Marshal.
In Marineford Square, countless people and reporters came and went frequently to pay their respects.
"It was actually destroyed like this... Marineford."
"But Marine still won. Didn't the man known as the 'World's Strongest' also die here?"
"Who knew, the broadcast was stopped for so long..."
"I heard that Marine's methods are also disgraceful..."
boom! !
Gunshots!??
"Ah!!!!"
There was an exclamation.
"Enemy attack!!"
A Marine on the outer shore suddenly announced loudly through the loudspeaker: "The attackers are 'Straw Hat' Luffy, 'Knight of the Sea' Jinbei, and..." (T/N: What are your thoughts on Luffy's title?)
"'Dark King' - Silvers Rayleigh!!"
"They seized a warship!! Shell them!!"
Reporters from the periphery swarmed in and took pictures of the hijacked warship.
"Big... big event!!!"
"What are they trying to do circling Marineford??"
"Are they so bold..."
Just as the reporters were wondering, the hijacked warship approached the west side of the square.
"That's... the Ox Bell!? Straw Hat Luffy, what is he going to do?"
clang!
clang!
clang!
·······
Sixteen consecutive thick bells resounded in the sky.
"A bell to welcome the New Year... Now... it's not the New Year..."
"Idiot! This is announcing the end of the old era!!"
"Straw Hat...this guy!!"
Just when the Sun God took off his straw hat and prepared to present flowers, a cold voice sounded in the distance.
"Good knock!!"
boom! !
A lightning pillar fell, flowers scattered on the ground, and the straw hat was directly stepped on the ground by Dylan's foot.
Rayleigh's pupils on the shore shrank.
clang! ! !
Dylan pressed the scabbard against Straw Hat's head, stepped on his body with his right foot, and said to the reporters around him: "Record this scene and broadcast it to the whole world!"
"What the Straw Hats are ringing is the death knell of a new era!"
"Brother Luffy!!"
Not far away, Jinbei's heart skipped a beat when he saw the Straw Hat being stepped on by Dylan.
By the way...that guy is an devil fruit user...
For sea water...
"The current passes..."
"Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick!"
The sea current had just been condensed by Jinbei, and with a roar, a brown figure appeared on Jinbei's flank.
boom!
Jinbei, who had no time to defend himself, was kicked by Tom and flew into the wall.
"You...poof!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Jinbei's eyes showed a solemn look.
This guy...is even more powerful!
Rayleigh drew his sword and slowly leaned forward.
"'Rairyu'······Don't········"
Dylan glared: "Who do you think you are!? You said you didn't want it, but I want it!!"
As he spoke, the Armament Haki on Dylan's feet became thicker, and the old injury on the Straw Hat's back exploded, and a scream rang out.
"Ah!!"
Rayleigh's eyes flashed with anger: "Let Luffy go! Otherwise..."
"What else? Are you going to f**king sink Marineford?"
As he spoke, Dylan glanced at the reporters who were snapping pictures around him.
The effect is almost there...
Sun God, let's hit the road!
Seeing the look in Dylan's eyes, Rayleigh moved and appeared next to him: "You will get into big trouble!"
Ding! !
The two weapons intersected, and Dylan continued to exert force on his feet while resisting Rayleigh's sword.
"Old man!!"
The straw hat under his feet had lost consciousness and fainted, blood leaking along the bandage.
Sweat broke out on Rayleigh's head, the strength of this young man...
I can't control that much anymore!!
The Conqueror's Haki, wrapped in black lightning, enveloped Rayleigh's sword.
Dylan grinned, "Are you serious? Really?"
Shiryu, rushing over from the sky, looked stern.
After following Dylan for the past few years, he had some understanding of Dylan's habits.
Generally, if he just shows a bored look towards a pirate, that pirate will seize the time to run away, and most likely he will still be alive.
When he draws his sword, he will be ready to fight for real.
But... if he starts making some weird witticisms, it means his murderous intent is unstoppable.
The black and dark red Conqueror's Haki also wrapped around Shura, and the two swords that were originally stuck together began to slowly separate.
Rayleigh looked at Dylan with a gloomy face, "If this continues... Marineford may not be able to hold on... Marine! There are still so many wounded soldiers and civilians here. Really. Do you want to do this?"
"You threaten me?"
Dylan gritted his teeth and looked up at the sky, "Shiryu!"
"Send the order - go to Sabaody Archipelago and kill his wife! Go to Twin Cape and kill Crocus!"
"I will also find the others one by one and send you all on your way!!"
Seeing Dylan's ferocious look and his orders, Rayleigh's expression changed drastically, Shakky... Crocus...
"Don't go too far, Marine!!"
"Excessive!? There is nothing more extreme than this!!"
Dylan's eyes flashed fiercely, "Order G-5 to arrest the former Arlong Pirates swordsman Octopus Hachi. As long as he dies! You didn't want anyone to bully him? I now not only want to kill him, but also use him as octopus rice bowl!"
The strong men of the old and new eras were furious because of their respective positions.
The powerful Conqueror's Haki collision stunned the civilians and reporters present.
"Do you think only pirates can threaten others!? This trick won't work on me!"
Rayleigh, who had been calm and gentle all year round, also had red eyes, and he was definitely going to be in trouble today.
I never thought that things would evolve to this point, Luffy...it's me...
"Who do you think you are? Ringing the bell while no one is here at Marineford?"
Dylan held Shura's hilt with both hands and slowly pressed forward, "Come on, let's end it here!"
Rayleigh, who was already in his seventies, started to shake his hands. This guy...
No...it can't be this...
Dylan's aura was overwhelming and pressing towards Rayleigh, making it difficult for Shiryu to remain suspended in the air.
"Let Luffy go...this time..."
After a sigh, a voice sounded in Dylan's mind, "It's not yet time..."
Dylan looked stern, but Shura showed no tendency to stop.
"Who are you!?"
Dylan did not express this sentence with his voice, but asked it directly in his heart.
"Don't you already know?"
"It's you...'Im'..."
The voice sounded again, "It's me...this sad world needs you...but it also needs Luffy..."
"This time, let him leave, even if it is..."
After hearing the last half of the sentence, Dylan's eyes finally showed a look of shock.
Then he smiled disdainfully, "That's true! How ironic."
"We are sorry for him, so..."
Dylan looked at the straw hat at his feet, whose eyes had turned white, and after sizing up the situation, he showed a ruthless expression again.
"Okay...but old man Rayleigh...is not part of this agreement!"
His only answer was a sigh.
Dylan kicked the straw hat away, then looked up at Rayleigh, "Come on...'Right Hand of the Pirate King'...Let me see if you, an old ghost, can still help the pirates regain their confidence!"
Seeing Luffy being kicked away by Dylan, Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then a strong sense of crisis came to his heart.
The Conqueror's Haki attached to the sword erupted, and their bodies bounced back together.
A line of blood crossed, and the sea in the distance was directly divided into two pieces.
