👤 Foe Appearing: "The Forgotten Self"
🧠 Mindspace: Toni's Inner World
Toni stood in a realm made of all his memories—
Oro Jackson's creaking deck
The smell of Mihawk's steel training hall
Ace laughing in a cell
Roger's last goodbye
His own blood-soaked hands
They floated, weightless. Colorless. Fragile.
And before him stood a boy.
A version of himself.
Age twelve. No sword. No pride. Just fear, shame… and eyes hollowed by guilt.
"You shouldn't exist," the boy said.
Toni's Mythblade was gone.
The Wordbreaker was mute.
This battlefield could not be won with steel.
💬 The Conversation of Undoing
"You became everything you hated," the boy said.
"You rewrote your fate… but at what cost?"
"At the cost of survival," Toni answered, quietly.
"You saved Ace, but broke the balance."
"You killed Imu, but the world doesn't know how to exist without him."
"You became a myth... because the truth wasn't enough."
Toni didn't deny it.
He simply asked—
"Who are you?"
The boy smiled.
"I am the story you never told. The guilt you buried. The Rewrite you hid inside your soul so you could move forward."
"I am your doubt."
And then… he raised his hand.
A blade of pure white memory formed.
"If you want to live… kill me."
⚔️ Fight of Reflection Begins
Toni's weapon was memory.
But he had none here. No Mythblade. No Wordbreaker.
Only belief.
So he forged one—
A blade not of steel, but made from the moment he first chose to disobey Roger and take his own path.
"I won't kill you," Toni said, raising the abstract sword.
"I'll accept you."
"Then die."
The boy rushed forward—his blade cutting Toni's identity thread.
Toni staggered. Blood sprayed upward in golden wisps.

🩸 Memory Reclamation – The Truth Behind Saving Ace
Toni was back in the burning battlefield of Marineford.
Ace's body was in his arms.
The lava. The cannon fire. The Marines.
Everyone screamed.
But what did he remember?
Ace cried.
"I didn't want to die… without knowing who I was."
Toni had whispered back—
"Then live. And figure it out. One day at a time."
That was it.
Not destiny.
Not justice.
Not revenge.
He saved Ace because he wanted one person to believe they could rewrite their story without forgetting who they were.
⚔️ The Final Strike – "Acceptance Severance"
The doubt charged again—
"You're still broken!"
"I know," Toni said.
"But even broken swords can still protect."
And he stabbed his inner self—
Not to kill.
But to embrace.
The boy gasped.
Golden cracks spread through him.
Then, for the first time, the two Tonis became one.
"You're not doubt.
You're the part I never forgave.
But now, you can rest."
The inner blade shattered.
And the memory of doubt dissolved… smiling.

🌅 Return to Reality
Toni awoke, lying in the shallows of the Sea of Shadows.
The waves were calm.
Mihawk sat silently nearby. Olga slept with a smile, exhausted.
Toni breathed deeply.
He no longer felt pressure from above.
The world… had finally gone silent.
No Rewrite. No Imu.
Just wind.
Just waves.
🎖️ Epilogue Fragment – Across the World
Ace, aboard Whitebeard's successor ship, paused mid-laugh… and whispered, "Thank you again, brother."
Shanks looked up at the constellation named after Toni, and for the first time since Roger's death, wiped a tear.
Dragon, alone in his command room, muttered, "So... the boy rewrote the final page after all."
And in the shadows of Ohara's ruins—
Nico Robin found a newly-formed Poneglyph.
One word engraved:
"Toni."
