Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Caesar was still not giving up, muttering, "You have no idea what I've been through these past three days?"

His tone was like that of a wronged young wife who just wanted someone to sympathize with her.

Zoro, already impatient, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said coldly, "Spit it out, or I'll cut you down!"

Caesar shuddered in fright and quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you."

It turned out that Caesar had been taken to a secluded cabin by the masked man.

As soon as the masked man entered the room and saw that no one was around, he immediately picked up a syringe and prepared to draw blood from Caesar.

Caesar refused to submit and fought back fiercely. Enraged, the masked man beat him mercilessly.

Poor Caesar, he was beaten black and blue, so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

While the masked man was resting, Caesar secretly released poison gas, putting him to sleep.

Then, secretly, he used the method he learned from the Straw Hat Pirates to condense his cosmos.

Unfortunately, the energy of the microcosm was too little to withstand the Seastone.

At that moment, Caesar had a sudden inspiration and wrapped this power around the seastone chains.

Then, he mustered all his strength, his face flushed red, and he emerged as gas.

To be on the safe side, before leaving, he thoughtfully placed high concentrations of poisonous gas around the masked man.

After spending several days in the forest, Caesar secretly followed the Mink Tribe and escaped.

After listening, Fanny raised an eyebrow and asked, "So you secretly learned the power of the Cosmos?"

His eyes held a scrutinizing gaze, as if he were appraising a strange creature.

Upon hearing this, Caesar immediately straightened his back and said righteously, "How can a scholar's actions be called stealing?"

"This is called learning from others, do you understand what learning from others means!"

He spoke with a straight face, shaking his head as if he were some great scholar.

Upon hearing this, Fanny simply gave a cold "heh."

The mistakes Caesar Courant made can never be erased in this lifetime, unless he dies.

The reason he stayed with the Straw Hat crew was simply because he was in mortal danger.

……

Fanny genuinely liked Carrot, the little bunny, who was busy running around taking care of everything.

He couldn't help but reach out and affectionately pat her little head.

Carrot didn't know why, but she really enjoyed the feeling and especially liked being close to Fanny.

It was as if something mysterious about Fanny deeply attracted her.

She squinted, a contented smile on her face, enjoying the feeling.

Nami was completely stunned.

Fanny even personally helped Carrot activate her cosmos and summoned the Lepus Saint Cloth Stone, handing it over to her.

Thanks to Zephyr's tireless efforts, the zodiac signs and temples were finally completed.

As the Pope's representative, Fanny can also use the resonance of his cosmos to summon the Saint Cloth Stones from the astrolabe at any time.

Carrot's pink armor was so striking that even the usually composed Robin couldn't help but feel envious, let alone Nami.

……

With the annihilation of Jack the Drought and his Beasts Pirates crew, everything on Zou Island gradually returned to normal.

Franky, Usopp, and the others couldn't stay idle, so they started helping the Mink Tribe rebuild their home.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi also reconciled because of Momonosuke's arrival.

The long-standing feud between the two vanished in an instant because of this little guy, Momonosuke.

They looked at Momonosuke with eyes full of love, as if they were seeing Kozuki Oden again.

Robin got his wish and saw the stone tablet with the historical text, and made a copy.

Holding the rubbing of the stone tablet, a satisfied smile spread across her face; she was one step closer to uncovering the truth of the world.

In order to defeat Kaido, Law led his men ahead of others towards Wano Country to lay out their plans.

Before leaving, to be on the safe side, he found Caesar and, without saying a word, took out Caesar's heart again.

Caesar turned pale with fright and nearly fainted. He had only meant it as a joke, but he never expected Luo to actually do it.

Sanji, who had spent a few days relaxing in Zou, has returned, bringing with him some big news.

In order to save those troublesome guys, he accepted the invitation and agreed to a marriage alliance with the Big Mom Pirates.

The time will be three months from now.

Sanji also said that he wanted to use this time to train hard and increase his strength.

After all, they were about to face the true rulers of the new world, the Four Emperors!

BIG MOM Charlotte Linlin!

Not only Sanji, but Luffy and the others also felt that their strength was not enough, and they all expressed their desire to undergo training together.

Luffy clenched his fist and shouted, "I will become stronger and defeat all the enemies!"

His confident demeanor made it seem as if he had already stood at the top of the world.

Seeing his companions' eager expressions, Fanny's smile was more pronounced than the smile of an automatic rifle designed by Soviet firearms designer Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov.

……

Chapter 173 The Great Battle Between the GM Army and the Blackbeard Pirates, The Meeting of the Supreme God!

That night, in the stillness of the night, the entire Zou was immersed in tranquility, as if it had been enchanted by a sleeping spell.

Fanny, however, went alone to the highest point of Zou, his figure appearing particularly mysterious in the moonlight.

He closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and began to concentrate the power of his inner universe.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Fanny's forehead. He was highly focused and finally, amidst the chaos, he caught that powerful soul fluctuation.

A slight smile played on his lips as he whispered with the power of his soul, "Elephant Lord, I need your help."

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry a power that could penetrate everything.

“Nika’s companions, please speak freely. We are willing to go through fire and water for you.”

The deep voice of Ganesha seemed to come from underground, carrying a hint of excitement, like a child eager to be entrusted with a great responsibility.

"Even if it costs me my life, it's worth it!"

"They're so quick to give up their lives, they're on par with those guys who donate their hearts and shout 'Tatakai'."

As he thought about it, he shook his head helplessly, as if speechless at the simplicity of the elephant spirit.

"Well, it's not that serious. It just requires the support of your vast inner universe."

Fanny explained patiently, his tone reassuring.

"Microcosm? What's that?"

The voice of Ganesha, filled with doubt, rang out again, like a bewildered child, full of curiosity about this unfamiliar word.

Fanny sighed, thinking, "It's too much trouble to explain, let's just get started."

"It's okay, just do as I say."

After saying that, he slowly walked down from the highest point of Zou and returned to the ground.

He found a spot on the exposed skin of the elephant and placed his hand on it.

The sensation was like touching an ancient and mysterious boulder.

"Ah."

……

Just as things had calmed down on Zou Island for a few days, the situation in the New World suddenly became tense.

The GM Army and the Blackbeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, suddenly found themselves locked in a physical battle.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the New World and leaving both the New World's navy and the World Government stunned.

It is said that Blackbeard paid a heavy price to ransom Gizas Burgess.

Blackbeard was incredibly frustrated. He thought that if he held back, things would calm down, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt he couldn't swallow this insult, so Blackbeard personally led a group to attack the GM army's base.

Unexpectedly, the GM army was well-prepared, as if they had set a trap in advance, just waiting for Blackbeard to jump in.

Blackbeard Teach and Dragon started fighting on the island.

These two are both ruthless figures in the new world, and their battle was extremely fierce.

Various powerful abilities wreaked havoc on the island, threatening to overturn the entire island.

One moment it's Blackbeard's eerie power from the Dark-Dark Fruit, the next it's Dragon's mysterious ability to manipulate the elements of nature—it's dazzling and breathtaking.

For some unknown reason, the Blackbeard Pirates, who had launched an attack, were frozen in ice.

The pirates were frozen in the ice, like statues frozen in time, their faces bearing expressions of anger.

This sudden turn of events left everyone completely baffled.

Finally, the Blackbeard Pirates were rescued by a mysterious passerby.

The appearance of this mysterious person was like a mysterious wind, arriving suddenly and leaving in a hurry, leaving only a silhouette that left people with much to imagine.

Meanwhile, the world government has also taken new actions.

They are determined to invite all sovereign states and regions to a world conference three months from now.

Among these are familiar countries such as Dressrosa, Alabasta, and the Fishman Kingdom, which have already begun implementing an offline monarchy system.

The countries that received the invitations reacted in different ways.

Some countries were thrilled, seeing it as a great opportunity to showcase themselves.
