Chapter 35 - Chapter 35 – Rewrite vs. Myth: The Final Trial Begins

Location: Sea of Shadows – Throne of Forgotten Kings

Time Stability: Fragmented

Emotional Pressure: 97%

"He who holds the final word holds the shape of the world."

— Lost Fragment of the Will of D.

⚫ The Birth of Rewrite

In the silence between waves and reality, it rose.

A creature of scripted agony, forged from every erased chapter of history—every truth buried, every legacy undone.

Its body rippled like ink dropped into glass.

Its face—no, its faces—flickered with the memories of people who no longer existed.

And from its hands extended words—literal blades of rewritten concepts.

"I am Rewrite," it intoned in ten thousand voices.

"I am the blade used to silence gods."

Toni stood still, windless and calm.

Mihawk behind him. Olga to the right, trembling.

Both ready.

But this battle—was Toni's alone.

🗡️ The Duel of Final Concepts

Toni stepped forward, holding both Mythblade and the newly recovered Wordbreaker, the twin sword formed from shattered memories beneath the Grave of Names.

The Mythblade pulsed with memory, will, and story.

Wordbreaker… hummed with a dangerous stillness.

"You came from a lie," Toni whispered to Rewrite.

"But I was born from silence."

He lowered both blades.

"Let's see which one lasts longer."

Rewrite launched first—

A tendril of erasure script, shaped like a lance, aimed directly at Olga.

Toni reacted instantly.

With Mythblade in his left and Wordbreaker in his right, he slashed forward—not at the attack, but at the sentence it represented.

"Eradicate All Memory"

The Wordbreaker glowed.

And the phrase… was severed mid-air. The lance collapsed into broken, unreadable syllables.

🌊 The Battlefield – Sea of Concepts

The Sea of Shadows warped.

Every emotion Toni had ever suppressed came alive around him—memories of:

Roger, dying with a smile.

Shanks, watching Toni train with silent awe.

Mihawk, a young boy with bloodied hands.

Ace, as he gripped Toni's collar and whispered, "Thank you, brother..."

The battlefield had no ground.

Only remembrance.

Rewrite shifted again, morphing into an enormous being with a cloak made of canceled dreams.

It pointed a massive quill-shaped blade at Toni.

"Your existence is an anomaly. A myth that bloomed from trauma. I shall end it with a truth."

It struck with a word:

"Originless."

And Toni staggered.

For a brief moment, he forgot who he was.

💭 Memory Flash – Toni and Roger

Toni, age twelve, standing on the deck of Oro Jackson.

Roger kneeled beside him, holding a crude wooden sword.

"You know what scares the World Government the most, Toni?"

"It's not power."

"It's not bloodlines."

"It's the idea that someone without a name... can still change the world."

Roger ruffled his hair.

"Be the proof."

⚔️ Myth Reassertion – Will Return Protocol

Toni raised Wordbreaker and Mythblade in unison.

"Originless?" he said, voice calm.

"No. I just chose my own beginning."

He activated a technique he had not used since the battle that saved Ace—

Dual Art – "Legacy Echo Severance"

Two slashes crossed—

One cut the lie.

The other replaced it with truth.

Rewrite screamed. Its form shrank, corrupted.

The word "Originless" twisted into:

"Self-Forged."

And Toni's memory snapped back.

🔥 Backlash and Blood

But the toll was immense.

Blood trickled from Toni's eyes and ears.

The twin blades glowed, their heat scarring his palms.

Mihawk reached forward, but Toni shook his head.

"This isn't done."

Rewrite reassembled, smaller now, but more focused.

It now wielded a spear shaped like a quill, and in its voice was authority:

"Then let's test the deepest truth:

You were never meant to save him."

The sky turned red.

Toni saw Marineford.

He saw Ace dying again.

He saw time trying to restore itself.

⚠️ Rewrite Initiating Global Correction

– Objective: Remove "Toni saves Ace" from causality

📜 Critical Action Required:

– Use Memoryblade to lock timeline

Toni roared.

He plunged Wordbreaker into the memory of Marineford and locked it in place.

A glowing seal appeared around Ace's image.

"You don't get to write my brother's fate," he growled.

Rewrite screamed again—this time, with fear.

🧬 Toni Ascends – Memory Sovereign Status

In that moment, Toni awakened a new title.

His body shimmered with memory force.

The blades merged—briefly—into one divine sword formed from both myth and language.

Memory Sovereign – Title Gained

– A being who can defy conceptual erasure

– Can hold the names of those long gone

📈 Myth Sync: 100%

✅ Rewrite Status: Unstable

☠️ Final Form Approaching…

☠️ Rewrite's Final Form – The Blank One

With a sound like the deletion of an entire era, Rewrite shrank into a child-sized form.

It no longer spoke.

Only carried a single piece of paper.

Blank.

It offered the page to Toni.

Olga screamed.

"Don't touch it!"

Toni stepped forward.

"I must. This is the page the World Government left blank to rewrite history."

He placed his palm against it.

And was dragged inside.
