Tan Tan jumped on the ship that she stole from the pirates who coveted her money. The white sail rose, and she decisively left without looking back.

On the majestic castle, a prince watched the ship looking away. Ichiji squeezed his hand. Watching the ship coldly leave before his eyes, he turned and left without carrying any emotion.

Jealous

Angry

Sad

Pain

He doesn't feel anything at all

There was nothing in his heart, an empty heart. No emotions, no love.

The only thing he could feel was the joy he felt when he got what he wanted, when the task was completed, and even when his hands were stained with blood.

He's a monster pretending to be a hero. He is a hero to those who have money and becomes the devil to those who die at his hands.

Does he care?

No. To him it was all meaningless.

Being called a monster he didn't get angry at all.

Because he already got used to it. And those who called him a monster soon died at his hands.

But only one person, only one person.

He had many reasons to kill that person, but there was never a time when he actually did it.

Even he himself could not understand why.

And today, he felt suffocated. His heart felt like it was being squeezed by someone. This feeling of anger he had never felt before.

He wondered if he too had become a failed product like the weak Sanji.

For him, it was difficult to accept the feelings that were burning inside him. He can deny it, but he can't get rid of it.

Because it is the purest emotion that no technology can stop.

That is love.

"What makes us pitiful is not when we receive a painful death, but we become the most pitiful when we can't express our feelings and then accidentally lose our lover. ."

---------------

The ship moved further and further away from the Germa kingdom. Tan Tan stood on the deck, determined not to look back.

Because she is afraid.

She was afraid she would soften.

She was afraid she would want to stay.

Tan Tan's mood became melancholy, his sullen eyes looked extremely pitiful. But right now, no one could see that expression to comfort her. Because now she is alone.

Tan Tan crept down to the deck alone, but when she got there she was stunned.

Seeing the things prepared under the deck, Tan Tan fell to his knees, covering his face with his hands.

She burst into tears, she cried while scolding Judge

- Damn old man! Don't pretend to be nice at the last minute.

The cabin of her boat was filled with food, the bed sheets were changed, and clean water was also filled. Before she left, Judge had someone bring the necessary items to the boat to help her.

Because of this half-hearted act of Judge, Tan Tan couldn't contain his emotions.

Every meeting will have to come to an end. But breaking up isn't always fun and easy.

Neither Tan Tan nor the Vinsmoke family wanted this to happen.

But for Tan Tan this is the best option.

She wanted to protect this family. She really wanted to protect them.

Even if they were the killers who killed her father. Even if they are demons with human blood.

She still wanted to protect them.

In the vast ocean, a ship, a little girl with the desire to protect the things she loves. She embarks on a new journey, a journey of unknown return date.

Maybe it was time for all her worries to disappear. Or when she was brave enough to face her fear.

Tan Tan himself did not know what to do.

A single girl facing the vast ocean. A girl with great will and guts.

The sea has always favored her. But that favor is not permanent.

The challenges of the ocean have always been a mystery. And certainly there will not be a simple challenge.

That's why we say "Never underestimate the sea".
