Dream never ends

"So Yamato. What is your dream? Mine is to become the Pirate King." Luffy declared while biting down the massive meat.

"Hmph. That's a very interesting question. For now, I guess I will obtain One Piece for my friend." Yamato held her chin.

"Then your dream is to be the Pirate King."

"You understand it wrong. I might want One Piece but that doesn't mean I want to be the Pirate King" Yamato shook her head.

"Besides, I think the term One Piece is very subtle. Roger said his treasure is out there but his way of description was so abstract. People think that will be a mountain of treasure or something that is so valuable that nothing on this planet can't compare to it but I don't think so." Yamato shrugged her shoulders.

"You mean One Piece doesn't exist."

"Not really. Maybe it did exist but for some reason, Roger couldn't take it with him. Perhaps it wasn't his treasure to begin with. Or it's just a piece of paper. I don't know"

After hearing what Yamato said, Luffy felt One Piece wasn't as awesome as he thought.

He chugged down a big cup of cola so that he could easily continue eating.

"Nonetheless, I still search for it. My friend, Furina, said One Piece is crucial for overthrowing the World Government's order. That is why I still search for it, even if it's just a piece of paper."

"I don't get it. Why do you want to overthrow the World Government." Luffy looked at her confusedly.

Yamato was a kind person but why she wanted to find trouble?

"It's complicated. But mainly, I do it because Furina said so."

Yamato rolled her eyes then added. 

"To open Wano, the World Government is an obstacle that needs to be overcome. After all, Oden's dream is also my dream."

"So your dream is to open Wano's borders. I don't know what is but sounds awesome." Luffy muttered.

"That is my view of One Piece. What about you?"

"I don't know. I think it's cool to be the Pirate King. As for One Piece, I don't think about it too much." Luffy scratched his head while smiling.

"That's a spirit. Do first, think later. Bring more food please." Yamato shouted, her voice echoing in the tavern filled with laughter.

In the tavern filled with their laughter, the door creaked open, and a man entered.

Yamato turned to see who it was.

"Well well. Isn't this a precious guest? What kind of wind brings you here, Mihawk? Want to join with us" Yamato raised the cup filled with cola.

Luffy's jaw dropped at the sight of Mihawk.

Mihawk glanced at Rubber Boy but he didn't remember him. He shifted his eyes towards Yamato.

Mihawk assessed Yamato's strength through his eyes and experience.

He lightly touched the sword hilt. Suddenly, he felt he was cut into pieces.

His experience was roaring at him that Yamato was an opponent that was worthy of his time.

Even so, he still looked at her calmly. 

"Yamato, the fifth Emperor of the sea. I have come to challenge you to a sword match." Mihawk said.

"Emperor of what" Luffy exclaimed.

"Sword match," Yamato repeated his sword.

"I'm not interested." Immediately, she rejected the offer.

"Can you tell me why?" Although Yamato rejected him bluntly, he wasn't angry.

"It's just I am not interested right now. I still have things to do. So sorry if I have no free time for you." Yamato scratched her back head.

Although she wanted to fight the renowned sword master standing in front of her right now, the situation didn't allow her to do so.

Although the Marines failed to invade the Fontaine, the World Government's spies still lurked around on the island.

From their action, she guessed they were searching for Furina.

It was time to teach them a hard lesson for intrusion. 

"This place still has some rats waiting to be killed. You understand what it means."

"I understand. How about this? The winner can command the loser to do anything."

"Anything" Yamato's eyebrows raised.

"Anything" Mihawk confirmed.

"Even overthrow World Government" Yamato's eyes changed color.

Mihawk heard what Yamato said. He was standing there and thinking in silence.

After considering the cons and pros, the light in his eyes brightened.

"Anything," Mihawk said with determination.

Even if he opposed the World Government and they hunted him, it was fine as long as he could satisfy his little desire.

Besides, he didn't come here to lose. If he wins then nothing will affect him.

"Okay. Let's settle this in the barren land. I happen to know there is a place satisfying that condition."

In the barren land.

There was no life in this place. Only sand and hot wind.

Luffy came here as an audience.

He was watching 2 people facing each other with bated breath.

The aura exuded from 2 of them was enough to make him subconsciously step backward.

"I will be busy in the future so we will settle this in one swing. Do you have any disagreement?" Yamato touched her sword hilt.

"I will give all my best in one swing." Mihawk adjusted his posture.

"Then let's get started." Yamato said, readying herself.

Yamato and Mihawk observed each other motion. They were waiting for an opportunity.

Luffy wasn't a sword-master so he didn't understand why they just looked at each other.

In the hot weather and vicious sand wind, their eyes didn't close.

As if they are afraid their opponent will take this short moment to attack.

Luffy was watching while eating.

Suddenly

A sharp sound rang out tearing the air.

His ears were bleeding from the sharp sound.

Luffy quickly covered his ears and looked at the sudden dust scene.

When the dust dispersed, he saw their position was swapped.

Their back was facing. Without any further motion, they were standing there motionless.

A piece of Yamato's clothes was carried away by the wind.

"You are very strong" It was Yamato's voice that broke the silence.

"You too. My wish is satisfied. I don't have any regrets anymore." Mihawk replied weakly.

Blood spurted out from his chest.

"I guess this place is my grave."

Despite the wound on his chest, Mihawk stood there without falling to the ground.

He had a big pride as a sword-master.

Luffy opened his mouth widely. He never expected that Mihawk would be defeated easily like this. He once witnessed Mihawk's strength and he knew the gap between him and himself was enormous.

Unexpectedly, Yamato defeated Mihawk easily.

When the wind calmed down, the view astounded Luffy.

The heaven and the ground were divided into two parts.

"This is the power of Yamato. I still have a long way to reach this level." Seeing this, the immature fire inside him ignited stronger.

Yamato approached Mihawk who was slowly falling into the embrace of death.

Standing in front of Mihawk, she stuffed a bean into his mouth.

Miraculously, the wound was healed at the visible rate.

"You still have a debt that must be paid. So." Yamato looked at Mihawk respectfully.

"you can come back anytime. I always welcome you."

Having said that, Yamato left.

Before she left, she left advice to the future Pirate King.

"Luffy. Listen to me. Your will is strong but your strength is not enough. If you want to find One Piece, you must become stronger."

"Promise me, Luffy. We will meet again to compete for One Piece."

"Yamato. I promise." Luffy looked at the back of Yamato before disappearing from afar.

In Dressrosa.

A guard flew towards the wall with a bloody head.

"Mister. Where did we do wrong?" The guard demanded an answer from Bellamy standing in front of him but he didn't know Bellamy in front of him was a fake.

"Nothing. It's just I don't like you guys." I raised my kick high. 

"And I am not your ally." I delivered a strong kick into his face. It was strong enough to knock out him.

"Alright. Easy peasy." I walked through the hall filled with unconscious guards. 

Deep inside the dark, I could faintly hear the cry of the girl.

"Someone comes to save me."

My hands held the steel bar and broke it with pure force.

"I hear someone ask for help," I said while under the disguise of Bellamy.

"Who are you?"

"What I am. I am Bellamy. The partner of justice. And now, you are safe. Princess"

That night, the entire castle was in alarm.

They followed the path filled with unconscious guards. When they came, they found Mansherry, the princess of Dwarves, had disappeared. Not only her, but the hostage named Furina also disappeared.

They separated to search for their trace in the castle but they didn't know that those two were no longer in the castle.

"Where are you going, Bellamy?" Mansherry asked.

"I am going to save your friend, princess" I answered.

"Doflamingo will be angry at you. Are you okay with that?" 

"Yes. He will be very angry" I replied with a smile.

"That makes me feel better" I looked at the S.M.I.L.E factory in front of me.

"Because I am the partner of justice."
