On the sparkling sea, there is an incomparably huge warship.

The lower part of the battleship is ship-shaped, but the upper part is humanoid, so let's call it 'humanoid'.

The tattered exterior highlights the brutality of the final battle, the figure is facing the sky with its arms raised, the front of its arms has long been melted by the heat and the shape is invisible, and the head and chest have been pierced by three huge hollows, which looks like an incomparably large Impressionist sculpture from a distance.

The huge and dilapidated battleship floated silently on the sea.

The birds swept over the broken human form as tall as a mountain, bringing up a small cloud of rust.

It's been a year since the Great War.

Due to the collapse of the Ark of Passion, the museum on the central island, which was deliberately preserved by Douglas Barrett, was transferred to the town of Alghero in the West Sea, along with the books in it.

On the west island of Alghero, there is a flower-filled hill with a huge obsidian monument at the top.

A bouquet of flowers is gently placed on the platform beneath the stele, alongside countless other bouquets.

Robin, who was wearing a long black dress, looked up at the names inscribed on the stone tablet, and countless slender palms gently brushed away the dust on the surface of the stone tablet.

Hao Xue finally died on the battlefield of the flesh mill, and he used his last strength to drink the highly poisonous [Hao Shui] and died with the 'Navy Hero' Karp.

Gulado died at the hands of the Buddha's Sengoku, but the opponent was also severely injured by his dying counterattack, and was finally killed by Moonlight Moria and Isei together.

Douglas Barrett steered the Ark of Passion to fight against the Heavenly King Ouranos in the dark, and finally used the Hades cannon to shatter the Heavenly King Ouranos and the angel Seraphim, but he was also hit by the Heavenly King's world-destroying thunder, and his bones were gone.

The remains of Charlotte Katakuri's trident were found on the battlefield, and nothing else remained.

The Gigers died under the onslaught of the Heavenly King's world-destroying thunderbolts.

Fingers stroking the notches of names, recognized, unrecognized, familiar, unfamiliar...... Corals have lost so much in this war.

But the stele did not have the man's name engraved on it.

It's been four months, and he still hasn't returned. Whether it's Robin, Perona, or Ro, the acting leader of Coral, almost everyone refuses to admit that Victor died in battle.

Victor has never let them down, and he will definitely be back.

After cleaning up the stele, Robin sat under the stele and looked at the memorial stele blankly, with a lot of thoughts in his head.

At this moment, the sound of slow footsteps came from behind him.

Robin turned his head sharply to see that it was Wendru, the acting president of the Coral Headquarters, and his hopeful eyes slowly dimmed.

Old Man Wendru, dressed in a delicate black suit with a straight back, and his silver hair meticulously tucked into his back, stood on the gravel road not far behind Robin, holding a pure white envelope in his hand.

"Mr. Vindru, ...... are you?" Robin tucked the black hair around his ear, a little confused.

Wendrew sighed softly, took a few steps forward and handed the envelope in his hand to Robin, and said slowly: "The boss handed me this letter before leaving, saying that if he ...... He...... He can't come back, so I'll give you this letter, Miss Robin. ”

Robin shook his head lightly and said in a firm tone, "He will definitely come back." ”

"It's been a year...... Originally, the boss said that if he couldn't return with the army, he would be considered dead, but I didn't believe it, and I waited and waited for ......."

Tears flowed from the corners of the old man's eyes, and he muttered, "Miss Robin, I don't want to believe it either...... Alas, this letter, you will, take it. ”

After stuffing the envelope into Robin's hand, the old man walked away tremblingly, and his originally straight back was extremely lonely.

Robin watched in a daze as the old man's departing back disappeared at the end of the path, and it took a long time to look down at the white envelope in his hand.

Nothing was written on the envelope, only Victor's seal was sealed with wax.

Hesitantly, he tore open the envelope, and there was only a thin piece of stationery inside, and the handwriting was indeed a beautiful font unique to Victor. Robin sat under the stele and began to read the letter in the breeze with the petals of the flowers.

As he read, Robin's eyes filled with tears, and his hand holding the letter kept shaking slightly.

At the end of the reading, she couldn't hold back any longer, and curled up under the stone tablet and cried bitterly.

The letter fell between the bouquets, swaying gently in the wind, and the handwriting on it was revealed.

[Dear Robin, I'm sure you could have guessed when you read this letter. That's right, I'm supposed to be dead.

I'm sorry to put such an unpleasant text in front of your eyes, but I'm sure you'll be able to handle it.

The reason why I am giving the letter to Mr. Vindrew, and not you, is because I had a little luck before the war.

What if I make it back alive? 】

In Jestedern, the 'City of Yesterday' in the South Seas, Rowe is wearing a black suit and sitting at his desk to deal with various complicated matters and urgent documents. Coral who has risen from the corpses of the World Government and Navy is facing all sorts of difficulties and problems, but Law, who has taken Victor's place, is doing his best to grow up to cope with this ever-changing world, and he must keep everything in order before Master returns.

Moonlight Moria, holding a hookah pipe in the snow, walks leisurely down the streets, and with a short beard, he leads the Coral Force to be stationed in the New World to guard against the counterattack of the sea pirates from the embers.

If I could return, I would like to shake hands with my friends and join you in hosting a feast in the Golden Hall of the Ark of Passion, laughing and celebrating the victory.

If I can come back, I would like to unload my burden and embark on another journey with you on the Beagle to travel the vast expanse of the sea.

If I could come back, I have a lot to say to you. 】

On the blue sea, the all-blue Beagle is quietly moored in the harbor, and a small figure in a golden raincoat is standing on tiptoe on the tripod to paint the 'V' on the side of the ship.

At the headquarters of the Hunters' Guild, Byron M. J. Gordon is yelling at the receptionist to change him to a more challenging assignment, and he is already a one-star music hunter after the Great War.

On the top floor of the Tentori Shokaku at the top of the highest capital of Wano Country, in the warm breeze and the petals in the sky, Mitsuki Hiyori was wearing a majestic and gorgeous robe, looking in a certain direction on the far side of the sky, and lost his mind for a while.

[Don't cry, although I'm dead, it's not a bad thing.]

This world does not need a second king of the world who stands above the clouds. I believe that under Luo's leadership and with everyone's efforts, the coral will maintain the balance of this world in a calm and orderly manner, and the pirates and navy will disappear completely.

The civilians of the sea will eventually usher in a beautiful life of peace and abundance.

This is my long-standing wish, please make it happen for me. 】

In Beihai, the eldest princess Lei Jiu officially succeeded Gaji as the new king of Jerma. One of the first things she did after taking office was to stop invading other countries in order to ease the growing tensions with the North Sea countries, and organized talks between the North Sea countries. In the North Sea, a new trade alliance led by the Kingdom of Jerma is beginning to take shape.

On the new Fish-Man Island, which has been expanded on the basis of Noah's Ark next to the Chambord Islands, Princess Shirahoshi carefully and happily holds the small hand of her mother Otohime, basking in the bright sunshine.

Thank you for your continued companionship.

- Mafia Victor]

A sea of flowers swaying.

At the Ringing Pier in Alghero Town, Robin is dressed in a black women's suit and carries a small black leather bag on her shoulder.

"It's slow, Sister Robin." Perona, dressed in a pleated skirt, held a small parasol and instructed the ghosts to carry boxes of supplies onto the Beagle: "Are you ready?" ”

Robin smiled and nodded: "The luggage has already been put on the ship, just to prepare some non-essential items." ”

Mai Honghime's head poked out from above the deck, and her long black ponytail slanted down from her neck: "The food and fresh water are counted, and you are ready to set sail." ”

"Are you really going, Sister Robin?" Nami, who tied her long orange hair into a ponytail, hugged Robin and was a little worried: "The sea is changing rapidly, I'm worried about ......"

Robin shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "In the past, we relied too much on Victor. This time, we will use our own strength to explore the sea and find the lost guy back. ”

"Be careful on the road, after finding the master, you must punch him hard to vent our anger." Nami wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled slightly red.

Robin nodded, hugged Nami again, and turned to the sampan.

With everyone bidding farewell, the Beagle slowly sailed away from the Ringing Dock.

Just like the day we started.

………………

…………

……

The blonde-haired boy clung to the edge of the boat, and the overwhelming waves and rain slanted down, leaving people breathless.

Violent lightning streaked across the dark clouds, and each burst of thunder illuminated the sea of frantic despair.

"Father! I—Are we going to die? ”

The blonde boy was so frightened by the majestic and unforgiving sea that he couldn't speak. Blurred by the rain, he looked desperately at his father, a man of few words who slashed the ropes that bound the barrel and moved the empty barrel towards the blonde boy.

"No, you're not going to die, Victor."

Mafia Cassio, the great father, looked firmly at Victor: "Even if anyone were to die, it would only be me." Get into the barrel and you'll be fine. ”

"Then father, you ...... yourself," Victor's cry was inaudible in the pouring rain and manic thunder.

Cassio smiled unusually and touched his son's wet blonde hair:

"Dear Victor, there is only one destiny in a man's life. My destiny has come, and your mother has come to meet me. But you still have hope, you must live well! ”

With that, Cassio was about to stuff Victor into the barrel. Only then will his son have a chance to survive this terrifying wave and storm.

But just then, the storm gradually subsided, and the dark clouds dispersed.

The sun shone on the sea that was gradually calming down, and the father and son who survived the catastrophe on the wooden boat.

"Father!" Victor clumsily crawled out of the barrel and threw himself on Cassio, crying loudly.

Cassio felt frightened and hugged his only son tightly.

This is an unknown sea near the village of Cory, and the storm comes and goes strangely.

Thankfully, no one died as a result.

The edge of the dark clouds on the horizon that has not completely dispersed is faintly jagged.

In the midst of the boundless Void Temple, behind the towering Void Throne.

Blonde youth lying quietly in the arms of a black and blue puppet,

The serene smile on the corner of his mouth has never changed.
