Willdix

"But I know you'll be mine! Yes you'll be mine!"

- Dix sings about Willy Fog in "Rigodon swallows the bait"

Willdix is the slash ship between Willy Fog and Inspector Dix from the Around the World with Willy Fog fandom.

Canon
When a London bank was robbed and an employee named Jenkins was beaten, Inspector Dix prepared several identikit photographs to identify the culprit. In one of these images there was a person who completely shared the appearance of the famous English gentleman Willy Fog and it was he who Jenkins recognized as the criminal. Later, while Dix was walking around town with Constable Bully looking for evidence, they saw in a newspaper that Willie Fog was planning to travel around the world, which they reported to Commissioner Rowan, who told them to follow the suspect to gather enough evidence to arrest him. And from then on, Dix and Bully were forced to unwittingly participate in this long journey, in which failures overtook them again and again.

Dix was obsessed with catching Willy Fog and, unlike Bully, completely believed in his guilt in this crime. They had to prove his guilt before he left the territory of the British colonies, otherwise it would be impossible to capture him due to the laws. They almost did it when they saw Mr. Fog steal an apple from the market and they took him to the commissar to issue an arrest warrant, but later it turned out that it was not the real Willy, but someone very similar to him (none of they didn’t know that it was a Transfer). While in Hong Kong, Dix tried to convince Rigodon of Willy Fog's guilt and persuaded him to help him in his capture, but unfortunately for the inspector, his interlocutor refused this, being very loyal to his master.

Dix had the opportunity to contact Willy directly when he pretended to be a merchant who had a big deal in Yokohama fall through and he urgently needed to get there and he asked to go with him to the ship and Mr. Fog, without any doubt, paid money for him so that he and Bulli was able to sail on the ship with them. Surprisingly, they became closer to each other when they flew to America together and there, while in the wild west, Dix made an attempt to stand up for Fog and his friends before Dingo Kid, which was much appreciated by the gentleman. Having received praise from their new "friends", Dix and Bully became full-fledged members of their gang and the only one who distrusted them was Rigodon. America is the last country on their journey, after which they will all return to England, where the inspector will be able to arrest the alleged criminal, so they had no choice but to participate in the journey on his side. While on the train, the gang was able to fight off the Indians who attacked them and after the end of the battle they noticed that Rigodon and Tico were missing and it was clear that they had been captured by the Indians. Willie Fog couldn't leave his friends behind, so he and Dix, armed with guns, went on a rescue mission, which ended well as the Indian tribe realized their mistake and released their captives and gave the band horses as an apology. They temporarily used them as transport and, remarkably, Willy and Dix rode on the same horse.

Along the way, it was clear that deep down the inspector really enjoyed being with this company, he sang songs with them, and also strongly sympathized with Tico when he suffered from frostbite. Having reached New York, and later finding the ship, Dix suggested to Rigodon that they capture the ship and the captain, because the ship was sailing in a different direction from what they wanted, so they needed to act in order for Willy Fog to arrive in London on time and win the bet. However, the ship's capture does not occur because the captain was poisoned by Transfer and handed over control of the ship to Mr. Fog.

Still, they got to England, nothing foreshadowed trouble, but Inspector Dix and Bully now had every right to arrest the gentleman, which infuriated Rigodon, but his owner broke up the fight and politely offered to clarify the situation. The police took the gang to the police station, where they were put in a holding cell. They expected to hear praise from Commissioner Rowan, but he was horrified when he found out about this, because it turned out that they had arrested the wrong person and the real bank robber had already been caught. They release Willy Fog and friends from prison and Dix apologizes sincerely for what he did and even offered to hit him in the face, but the gentleman refused it, because he had already lost too much time and he needed to hurry. Dix never got to say goodbye to him because he had already left, which made him sad. Given that Willy Fog never mentions Dix after this, even in the sequel series, his relationship to him remains unknown to this day.

Songs
Dix sang a song about how much he wanted to capture Willy Fog. It is noteworthy that the lines “you will be mine” were used in this song.

Fanon
Fans jokingly point out that Dix's behavior and obsession with catching Willy Fog is very Yandere-like because even Bully doesn't think about it like his partner does. Fans really appreciate the moments when Mr. Fog and Dix work together as a team, and they like to think of him as part of his gang as they really grew closer to each other.

It is also noted that if this pairing exists, it is only in the form of a one-sided crush of Dix on Willy, which he does not realize, but still experiences deep down. Probably Mr. Fog will never know about these secret feelings, but this is still the point of this shipping.
