One year before the war, Linn traveled to the world of pirates.
No companions, no flags, just a whispering demon sword and a one-man sailboat behind him. The system gave him two choices: follow history and make a fortune in the war; or try to see if one person's blade can carve a crack in the wall of fate.
He chose the latter.
Starting from a deserted island in the South China Sea, he killed the criminals with bounties on them, defeated the navy branch, and the bounty rose all the way. Bucky's treasure was snatched away in Upside Down Mountain, Blackbeard's information was secretly recorded in Magic Valley Town, and there was an unknown exchange with Fire Fist Ace on the desert island who was chasing the traitor. He said something at the beach that night, but Ace didn't take it seriously at the time. Long after, these words will be heard on the battlefield.
War breaks out on top. He harvested the navy on the periphery and disrupted the battle; when Whitebeard was stabbed, he stunned the assassin for three seconds; when Akainu pursued, he split the ice and bought Luffy five seconds.
Five seconds. The butterfly effect ended at that moment - Ace survived.
Whitebeard still died fighting. History has not been rewritten, it has just been quietly pushed by one person.
After the war, a reward of 580 million was offered, codenamed "Lone Blade". The navy commented on him: He lives alone, has no flag, and no partners. He is the most difficult kind of pirate to deal with. The remnants of Whitebeard remembered a favor. Ace owed a drink.
He continued to sail alone. The demon sword Eater Moon evolved into a sharp sword during the battle on the top. The blade carried not only his will, but also the regrets of four generations of lone swordsmen - those people all died of loneliness, and he was the first person to change something with his loneliness.
