Pirate's Freedom

[We are descendants of the Creator, with the blood of God flowing in our bodies. 】

When was the first time you questioned something you took for granted?

……

13 years ago, in front of the towering Tianlong Gate in the Holy Land of Marie Gioia.

Behind them was a pile of luggage. The ancient sage Huo Ming and his wife were holding their children, facing the excited Tianlong people, and voices of disbelief could be heard.

"Are you serious?! Ancient Sage Huo Ming!!"

"What are you crazy about!!"

"Are you really going to give up your status as a god and become a human being?"

Ancient Sage Huo Ming's tone was gentle and calm.

"We have always...been human."

It was quiet for a moment, then a louder noise arose.

"Do you mean we are the same as you?!!"

"This is blasphemy!! What do you think of the Celestial Dragons!!"

"You traitor!! You have been an alien from the beginning!!"

The young Irene's eyes were filled with angry and panic-stricken faces, as well as that impressive, kind and calm smile.

"It doesn't matter what you think of me, but human beings are great, and living as a human being can make life much more fulfilling than it is now. This is my belief."

"What did you say?! You're so arrogant!! Get out of Mariejoia right now!!!"

【Are we always... human beings...】

"Hey~! Dover~!"

In a small moment of leisure, Irene peeked her head out from behind the suitcase.

"Do you have to leave here and live a human life?"

"What, is it Elenora Palace? What do you want from a human like me?"

Unable to stand Irene's sad gaze, the blond boy wearing sunglasses stopped joking.

"My father said it's inexplicable that human beings have so much richer hearts than we do."

"Don't stay here, disobedient children will be eaten by [D]."

"Goodbye, Erin."

……

a few months later.

"Did you hear that? That stupid human begged us to come back."

"You can't get back what you throw away. Those who bring it upon themselves will suffer the consequences of self-destruction."

The hateful words slipped from the corner of his mouth, and when he turned his face, there was another face immediately.

"My dear, Elenora Palace, your increasingly beautiful appearance is really amazing."

"Do you want to marry my son?"

"Liar..."

Looking at the little figure that ran away in a hurry, the Tianlong people were puzzled.

"Ellenora Palace? What's going on?"

……

Two years later.

The quiet and peaceful place where the Celestial Dragons live, just like the kingdom of heaven, one day heard the sound of shouting and killing.

"Kill Doflamingo!!"

"We can't let that brat live!!"

Behind a wall, two children sat on the ground, gasping for air.

"Fufufufu~~! Is that the [National Treasure] of the Tianlong people? It's really funny."

"Thanks to your identification chip, Erin."

"Human? Curious? Are you making me laugh?!"

"Human beings are all maggots in a garbage heap."

"Of course, I'm no different. I forgot to tell you. Because it was too much of a bother, I threw the prisoner's father's head at the door."

"Worried? Fufu~ Even if I have to live in a garbage dump, I will turn the world dominated by this bastard upside down."

"Fufufufufufufu~~!!"

After a while, the crazy laughter gradually stopped.

"Don't get too close to me, a fugitive, and don't have any unnecessary expectations. I can no longer escape from this hell."

Covering his face with one hand——

"Goodbye, Erin."

……

for many years afterwards.

"Elenora Palace, why don't you add [Palace] and [Holy] after the name? Only untouchables would call it by name directly."

"Ellenora Palace, you must wear bubble hoods in the lower realm, otherwise, the dirty air will pollute the blood of the gods."

"Elenora Palace and Shampoo Island are full of prepared slaves. If you choose one, you can just take them away. What's wrong? This is what my father told me. Isn't this common sense?"

"Elenora Palace, why can't you breathe? Are you sick?! Go and get all the doctor slaves nearby!"

"Ellenora Palace..."

"Ellenora Palace..."

"Ellenora Palace..."

……

In the year 1498 of the Hainan calendar, the year of the execution of Pirate King Roger, the beginning of the great pirate era is about to slowly begin.

"It's born!! It's finally born!!"

Amidst the whispers, emotions of excitement and fear filled the air above Mary Joa.

From that moment on, Erin was determined to turn the gears of her destiny.

"Ira, your name is Ira. You should not belong here. Whether you or I, we should live as human beings."

[Two people go to the vast and boundless sea together. 】

……

That unforgettable moonlit night on Badelira Island.

The power of CP spreads out and covers the entire sea. Human life only lasts a few months.

The road underfoot is both long and short, just like a microcosm of Eileen's life.

In her arms, the little baby stayed in a sweet dreamland, unaware of his fate.

In the last moments, there were endless words to express in my heart.

[Ira, you are still too young, can you remember this blue sea in your heart? Ten or twenty years from now, you will still remember me——]

[Remember your mother? I'm so sorry. I can't always protect you or change your destiny. I'm such an incompetent mother...]

The next moment, a beam of light illuminated the endless darkness, which was the moment when Irene returned to countless midnight dreams.

"What's this child's name?"

"Ila...her name is Ila..."

Let me tell you a funny thing. It was obvious that I came to this sea to gain freedom, but after just a few months of sailing, I reached my destination.

That island dropped from the sky and carefully disguised itself.

My Raff Drew.

……

And now.

In the rapidly changing light and shadow, Irene's memories have come to an end.

"Should I say it is lucky or unfortunate? The only destination in life refuses anyone to stay. It is clear that there is a harbor that can accommodate anyone, so why do you have to disguise yourself as an isolated island..."

"Speaking of anger, there must be someone else——"

"But forget it, in the end, let's leave a good impression."

【The moment I met you——】

"My voyage is over. This should be a very cool thing to say. Do you want to tell him..."

[I will not be forgotten by the important people. In the end, I have no regrets. 】

……

The country of Wano, the capital of flowers.

Bartholomew Bear sent an invitation on behalf of a certain force, but before that——

"It's weird, did you go wrong in your practice?"

Tata Tot touched the corners of his eyes, a little surprised.

"Why are you crying out of nowhere?"
