Shuli smiled through the view of the sea near their home. She blossomed into a beautiful lady that people in the windmill Village that she visits most of the time thought she was a ghost but she wasn't as they interacted with her.

Shuli will soon become 17 once her birthday comes and dadan for some reason wouldn't let her go. 'A perfect daughter.' that she raised and honestly ace feels the same and wanted her to stay here at home where it's safe but for Luffy -- he cheered for her because he thinks everyone deserves a taste of a adventure.

Sneakily she got ready her equipment in the tree house that she, ace, sabo and Luffy made.

"Sabo... I'm going soon. I may not come back at all, so I'll see you along with mother and father once the journey ends." She gently rested her head on the tree where their dreams began. Not hers but she does want to see Luffy sail out and be his crew but she felt that due to her goal, it will extend some time.

"My sweet dream... Luffy, I have high hopes for you and your future crew. May you found fun and peace in them." She slowly pecked the tree and leave.

"You're saying that... The child will die as a new throne will be reborn for the Kingdom of the fallen kingdom?" The hooded man gritted his teeth in anger.

"As what I have gathered from those printed poneglpyhs? Yes, soon the fate from 2,000 years ago will start. It is stated in "Where it all began and it will end." It was written by their own ancestor."

"That child deserves no anguish from this!"

"That child will be the saviour of our descendants! Don't tell me you cared for such child! It has already started in motion when that man married the empress and the second child was born!"

"Leave them out of this!"

"Don't tell me your one of those loyal followers that survived!"

The cloaked man revealed himself with alluring dark reddish brown hair and yellow eyes. He slowly put out his finger and swish it after touching his forehead to morph and glowing butterfly before it starting to form of what looks like a memory.

A memory of the child and him, playing together in the fields. That child was shuli.

"What are you really?"

"I'm a monster who is her father and I will destroy those poneglyphs." He grimaced.

"I am no god but must I remind you that whoever interfere with her fate will be punished by your ancestor."

"If my daughter is safe... That's all that matters."

"That child will wreck havoc, and it will be in motion."

"Are you gonna stop me?"

"There's no way I'm gonna stop the man who supposed to be emperor of the fallen kingdom. That child possessed the name D."

"If the D. can stop such fate, I'll trust them. Like how I trust my wife."

"So be it, since one of their bloodlines have found me. This vessel serves no purpose."

And just like that it ended, The strange man who proclaimed as shuli's father began his own journey by himself into the depths of the abyss.

Never having a second chance to see her daughter grow up.

"My sweet child, my shuli, my peace. Don't hate yourself, please blame me for any disasters you have encounter."
