The guy chuckled and said "You seem confused." Kuzan said "Yeah, just a bit. Aren't you scared at all?" The man laughed and shook his head saying "Even if you're a super strong former Admiral, none of us are scared because of our savior!" Kuzan muttered "Savior? Sounds like a cult..."

The guy chuckled embarrassingly "That's what the savior says... He told us not to call him that, but he saved all of us from Hell. What else could we call him?" Kuzan asked "Saved you?" The man nodded and said "Most of the citizens of Dream Flower Island are former slaves or people who were starving with countries in ruins."

Kuzan's eyes widened and he said incredulously "But, your mark?" The guy smiled and said "There's another reason we call him the savior. There's nothing he cannot do! He provides us with endless food, power, clothes, everything! There's also magical shops littered around, come I'll show them to you."

Kuzan followed the guy and a beautiful city opened itself, blooming like a flower as they got closer, the guy said "My name is Toscan. I was captured as a slave 7 years ago when I was 13. The savior saved me around 2-ish years ago. I work around the docks, you just happened to be there when I was going home."

Kuzan asked "You work?" Toscan smiled and nodded "The savior said that if none of us worked we couldn't set an example for our eventual children. Those demons never worked and looked at them." Toscan shook his head and said "The Savior opened jobs everywhere, farming, sewing, bar keeping, restaurant owning, cooking, etc."

He smiled to himself and said "I'll show you the library later, we have more important places to go." Kuzan said "The library?" He stopped and said "Hey, man. Why are you being so nice." Toscan stopped and Kuzan added "I was an admiral, I used to go out and capture escaped slaves." Toscan looked at him and smiled "You're not an admiral anymore, are you?" he pointed at Kuzan's leg and said "Surely not with that missing leg."

Kuzan touched his leg and frowned, Toscan smiled and continued walking, saying "It's not your fault that I was a slave. It's also not your fault that the marines are forced to do whatever the Demons want. If you're looking for forgiveness, you came to the right place." Kuzan followed him silently and Toscan waved his hand saying "I'm just an honest dock worker, but even I know who you are. So does everyone on the island. My Wife works for the police force."

Kuzan was confused and said "Police?" Toscan chuckled "Like the Marines, but only for the island. They enforce the laws around here." Kuzan said "Laws!?" Toscan nodded and said "We'll get you a guidebook, it has everything in it." as he walked to a shop.

Kuzan was stunned "There's a guidebook?!" Tosacan said "Come on, Admiral-san." as he walked into the shop, adding "Hey, Chelsea! How are you?" Kuzan walked in to see a bombshell working behind the counter, he was stunned, she was so hot! Why was she working a small shop like this?

Chelsea smiled "Toscan, how's Emily?" Toscan smiled "Not too bad, she's getting bigger! Aha!" Chelsea giggled "That's good, I was gonna drop by but since you came..." she took out a basket and smiled "This is for you." Toscan said "Chelsea, I shouldn't..." she rolled her eyes and replied "Moron! This is a gift from me and Greg! I'm not taking no for an answer! Hmph!"

Toscan held a basket and sighed "Thank you." she waved and smiled "So, who's your friend?" a little glint flashed in her eyes, looking at Kuzan. Toscan said "I just met him today, it's Kuzan!" Chelsea said "Yeah, I can see that. It was a rhetorical question. As you know that I don't like marines. Why is he in my shop, Toscan."

Kuzan was stunned and Toscan said quickly "He's not a marine anymore. He deserves a second chance..." he looked at her and sighed "I'll just take a Guidebook, please." Chelsea looked at Kuzan and handed Toscan a Guidebook saying "It's on the house. Congrats on you pregnancy." Toscan took the book and left saying "Sorry, Chelsea. Thank you." she didn't reply and stared Kuzan down as he left.

Kuzan was stunned and Toscan handed him the Guidebook, saying "Like I said, everyone knows who you are... That's not usually a good thing." Kuzan held the guidebook and said "Aren't you..." Toscan smiled and said "I don't care what the others think. That's just how I am, as long as my family is safe, I'm happy. Come on."

Kuzan looked at Toscan, kinda stunned, he followed him around through the streets, some faces were friendly, some were disgusted, but most were indifferent. Kuzan was getting a whole new side of the coin here.

Toscan brought Kuzan to another shop and said "Hello!" the man behind the counter looked at Kuzan then at Toscan saying "How can I help you?" Toscan said "One Nano-Prosthetic, please." the man said "Installation price is an extra 50000." Toscan said "That's okay."

Kuzan stopped him from paying, saying "What are you doing?" Toscan said "Um, helping you?" Kuzan said "Why though. I don't understand." Toscan paid for the prosthetic and thanked the man before leaving as he said "Like I said, some people deserve a second chance. Not a lot of people here will help you, or even talk to you. Some of them might even tell you off right to your face. They don't hate you specifically, they hate the fact that nobody helped us."

Toscan looked in a window and continued "We trusted the marines only to have them just watch or even take us to hell themselves. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a marine. My father was a marine." he walked into the shop and Kuzan was awed by the new information.

Toscan said "A single God's Dew, please." the girl behind the counter smiled and gave it to him, asking "Do you have a mark?" Toscan smiled and shook his head, she nodded and said "That'll be 5000." Toscan paid and left, saying "Bye!" the girl smiled and waved goodbye.

Kuzan said "Wait, your father was a marine? Also, why did she ask if you had a mark? What is that?" Toscan said "This is God's Dew, the savior called it something else though. I forget what it was, but it will clean your Marks and scars away. Did you notice that there's no fat people? Or ugly people for that matter?"

Kuzan looked around and nodded, the worst he could find was a 7! He was floored and Toscan smiled "That kind girl asked me if I had a mark because if you do, it's free. Most of us got it for free, the selling is for visitors. Obviously, the price in the gambling district is super inflated. I think it's 5 to 10 million for one? The closer inland the cheaper it is. Also, if you're a citizen of Dream Flower Island, it's only 5000. We all have cards that give us benefits, separating us from the visitors. That girl just happened to know me."

Toscan gave the Impurity Cleanse and metal disc to Kuzan saying "Come join me for dinner. My wife doesn't have any problems with marines, and she makes a very good steak, though, I think we're having pasta tonight."

Kuzan was flattered and said "I really shouldn't..." Toscan dragged him to his house. He walked in and said "Honey! I'm home!" A beautiful girl with black hair tied in a pony tail, poked her head out saying "Hubby! Eh? A friend?" she walked out from the kitchen, looking a bit distressed. Kuzan's eyes widened, her stomach was huge! What was she? Like 8 and a half months?!

She cleaned her hands and punched Toscan in the shoulder, saying angrily "Why didn't you say you were bringing a friend over! I would've made more!" Toscan scratched his head and said "I didn't know either, aha... I met him like an hour ago."

Emily rolled her eyes and smiled to Kuzan "Hello, I'm Emily, nice to meet you. Hopefully, my husband didn't bother you." Kuzan was overwhelmed and said "No, please. Are you kidding? He's been nothing but helpful this entire time." She smiled saying "That's a relief. Come sit."

A while later

Kuzan heard from Toscan that his dad was a marine, but someone of really low rank. He fought against his own colleges and was killed trying to protect Toscan from being sold as a slave. Toscan was pretty upset about it and Emily held his hand in support.

Kuzan's world view had completely changed, he knew that Hiro had taken all the slaves as he over heard Garp complaining about how Hiro's making things difficult for him. He had no idea what was actually going on! Obviously the marines were rotting from the inside out!

He stayed at Toscan's house that night, having nowhere else to go and at Toscan's insistence. He used the Impurity cleanse and took a shower, he got help from Toscan on putting on the prosthetic and his leg returned!

He was stunned yet again by the magical things on the island. His scars were gone and he looked much better! The only thing that was missing was his leg, but he had a metal one, so it was fine. Kuzan decided to travel around Dream Flower Island, leaving Toscan and his wife, thanking them for letting him stay.

He slipped out in the middle of the night and left, a gift behind. He was going to see if he could change the people's opinions and the marines themselves but he needed to figure out what was wrong. There were so many people with a story, he needed to hear them all.

The next day

Toscan went to Kuzan's room and smiled at the emptiness of the room. He had a feeling that he would leave. He looked at the box on the bed and was confused, he opened it and there was bills on top of bills, millions of Belli along with a letter.

Toscan was stunned and read the letter, it was basically Kuzan thanking him and paying him for the restaurant quality meal. Toscan sighed and brought the money away, he didn't need any money but Emily said that they could use if for their kid so Toscan kept it for their child.
