Wielder0529

In the golden age before the Great Pirate Era truly began, when the Roger Pirates still sailed across the Grand Line seeking the truth of the world, fate brought aboard a mysterious youth—Toni, a boy the same age as Shanks, but with a talent that defied all explanation.

Born on a remote island shrouded in storms, Toni awakened Observation Haki at the age of six and displayed a natural affinity for swordsmanship said to be descended from a legendary warrior tribe that vanished from history—the Mythblades. His every swing echoed forgotten techniques, and his instinct to perceive danger bordered on clairvoyance. It was this power that caught the eye of Gol D. Roger himself.

Sensing destiny at play, Roger invited the boy to sail with his crew—not just as a passenger, but as a disciple. Under the shadow of legends like Rayleigh, Scopper Gaban, and a young Shanks and Buggy, Toni’s journey begins not as a pirate, but as a seeker of truth, strength, and identity.

As the crew draws closer to Laugh Tale and the secrets of the world, Toni begins unlocking not only deeper layers of Haki but also his forgotten lineage tied to a mythic sword called Tenryūzan—"Heaven's Blade". But the world is watching. Agents of the World Government, rival pirates, and even mysterious relics of the Void Century are drawn to Toni's existence.

In a world where legends are born from willpower and freedom, Toni must carve his own path—as both a blade forged in myth and a storm destined to reshape the era.

Main Themes:
Brotherhood between Toni and Shanks, showing different paths to greatness.

Mentorship and legacy, focusing on Roger passing his will to someone besides Shanks.

Mythology of swords and haki, including ancient swordsmanship arts lost in time.

Worldbuilding, involving ancient tribes, Void Century secrets, and pre-Great Pirate Era politics.

Tragic foreshadowing, as Toni’s path will split from the Roger Pirates’ ultimate fate.

One Piece : Mythblade

"A myth that survives battle becomes legend.

But a myth that walks away… becomes eternal."

Only a lighthouse stood—abandoned and broken, blinking once every five minutes with a soul's rhythm.

And beneath its shattered shadow, Toni lay on a blanket, eyes half-closed, staring at a slow-moving sky.

Mihawk stood silently by the cliff's edge, his coat fluttering behind him.

When Olga had asked if Toni would live, Mihawk had simply said:

"He's already done more than most gods ever have. If death wants him, it better ask nicely."

He cleaned his sword twice a day, made tea at dawn, and always faced east—toward the Red Line.

Because if anyone tried to start another war, they'd have to go through him first.

Olga rushed to him, eyes wide with unshed tears.

"I think I had to," he said softly.

– Your story will remain in whispers and stars

The Five Elders' seats remain empty.

A rotating council of civilians and scholars take up governance, guided by knowledge, not blood.

Cast down. Their names removed. Their castles dust.

Not through war, but by Toni's mythlight cracking the veil. Only the brave now dare approach it.

The Will of D becomes studied, not hunted.

Schools rise. Symbols flourish. The world no longer fears the letter.

That evening, Mihawk sat beside Toni, a cup of bitter tea between them.

"So," Mihawk said. "Godslayer. What now?"

"And maybe…" he said, watching the waves roll in, "one day… a story. Not mine. Someone else's."

"You think myths should end quietly?"

"I think myths should live quietly," Toni replied, "if they're lucky enough to survive."

But because some peace doesn't need them.

That night, Toni looked up at the sky.

The constellation named after him still glowed.

"If anyone out there is still watching…

You can write your own story now."
