Location: Ilusia Kingdom — Underground Port
"You will not read about the darkest crimes of this world… because they are never allowed to be written."
— Former Scholar of Ohara
☁️ The Rising Storm
The world had entered chaos.
New pirate flags were raised every hour.
The Marines were spread thin.
And beneath this confusion, the World Government moved.
Not to stop pirates—
But to erase ancient bloodlines.
To cut off any spark that could ignite rebellion.
They called it "Protocol Eden."
It targeted descendants of the old kingdoms—those who once stood against the 20 nations.
They moved quietly.
They struck swiftly.
And no one survived to speak of them.
Until they reached Ilusia.
🔥 The Massacre at Ilusia
Beneath Ilusia's royal chapel, dozens of chained families huddled—old nobles, scholars, and children of forgotten names.
Above, Cipher Pol agents dressed as priests conducted "cleansings."
"Your ancestors defied the gods."
"Today, their sin ends with you."
Screams began.
Until everything went silent.
A single blade swept through the candlelight.
⚔️ Toni Arrives
The agents never saw him coming.
The first fell with his shadow split from his body.
The second collapsed mid-step—his heartbeat stopped before his breath did.
And the third—an elite CP-0 assassin—managed to blink once before his vision showed only a single glowing blade.
"Who… are you?"
Toni stood behind him, eyes glowing.
"A memory they failed to kill."
With one motion, the Mythblade cut through time and breath.
The massacre was over.

🧠 Survivors of the Forgotten Line
The chained survivors looked up—not with hope, but confusion.
"Who are you…?"
"A Revolutionary?"
"A pirate?"
Toni shook his head, slicing their bonds without touching them.
"I'm a shadow.
Your job… is to live."
"One day, the world will need you."
He left a single blade shard embedded in the wall—a message in ancient script only Ohara would understand.
The Myth Remembers.
Then he vanished.
🕊️ Whispers Return to the Wind
Across the seas, rumors began again.
"Ilusia's purge failed."
"Some say a ghost stopped them."
"Others say a time-traveling swordsman cut through Cipher Pol."
The World Government issued no comment.
But the Five Elders whispered a name not heard in decades:
"The Mythblade…"
"We erased him."
One elder clenched a map of Laugh Tale.
"But not completely."

💭 Toni's Reflection
Back at sea, Toni stood alone on the mast of a passing merchant ship—unseen, unregistered.
He looked toward Marineford.
"They're purging everything now."
"Because they feel the sea shifting."
His blade pulsed.
"Soon… the storm will reach Ace."
He turned to the sea.
"And I'll be ready."
