One Piece: Between Worlds, Beneath the Waves
Maris was never meant to exist.
Born from the combined genes of Marine “Hero” Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp and a woman from another world, her creation was the result of an extraordinary request made to the brilliant scientist Dr. Vegapunk. The woman—an outsider to the seas of this world, carrying knowledge and abilities beyond it—knew she could not raise the child herself. Nor could the Marines ever be allowed to claim her.
And so, to protect both the child and the fragile balance of the world, Maris was hidden away.
Shortly after her birth, Maris was left on an uncharted, concealed island in the East Blue, a place erased from maps and untouched by human civilization. There, she was found and raised by ancient, magical non-human creatures—beings tied to the island itself, who lived in harmony with the sea, the wind, and forces long forgotten by mankind.
Growing up far from the reach of the World Government, pirates, or Marines, Maris’s childhood is shaped by freedom, mystery, and the quiet magic of the island. She learns to listen to the ocean, to move with the wind, and to survive without ever knowing the truth of her origin—or the legacy that runs through her blood.
But the world never stays hidden forever.
As Maris grows older, the pull of the sea begins to call her beyond the island’s shores. Unknown to her, the blood of the Hero of the Marines and the will of another world have begun to awaken within her—drawing the attention of forces that should never have learned of her existence.
Her journey will challenge the lines between Marine and pirate, science and magic, destiny and choice—and force Garp himself to face the child he never knew he had.
In a world ruled by flags and justice, Maris must decide who she wants to be…
before the truth of her birth catches up to her.
