I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Traitors? The Don Quixote family only has a few members, how come there are so many traitors? Don't you ever think about that?"

Luo shook his head expressionlessly.

"What Doflamingo needs are absolutely loyal tools; everyone must give their lives for him."

"He betrayed Corazon, he betrayed his family..."

Luo stretched out his hand, and the ROOM space quietly opened, the large katana in his hand silently unsheathed.

“Tell me everything about JOKER, and of course, about Vergo,” Luo said in a low voice.

Torrepol hesitated for a moment, about to say something, but was drowned out by Luo's voice:

"As expected of a tough guy. No wonder he's Doflamingo's subordinate. Just like him, even when he's in prison, he's as arrogant as one of the Four Emperors."

Luo deliberately switched to a different, new knife, the long blade pointed at the crotches of Torrepol and the others.

Knife up and down.

Torrepol and the others suddenly changed their expressions. Although they did not feel any pain, the inexplicable emptiness made their hearts skip a beat.

It is not harmful at all, but extremely insulting.

The key point is that Luo didn't give them a chance to confess at all... he was clearly torturing them on purpose.

With the power of the Op-Op Fruit, Law can directly and painlessly cut off any part of another person's body and manipulate them at will.

"Don't forget, I'm just like you... a ruthless pirate who'll stop at nothing, capable of anything." Law stretched out his palm and made a half-fist gesture.

Before Luffy ruined her character, Law was a cold and ruthless person.

Torrepol and the others turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on their foreheads. They immediately spilled everything out like beans from a bamboo tube.

Vergo is a family spy within the Navy, and the three high-ranking officers, including Trebol, all have means to contact Vergo.

And this means of communication finally fell into Luo's hands.

"Now the matter is settled," Luo muttered to himself.

"The Don Quixote family no longer exists."

"The last one to slip through the net is the Navy undercover agent, Vergo..."

This time, he intends to use his own strength to personally kill Vergo.

Luo paused for a moment, then turned to look at Sugar and Monet.

After Sugar Monet and Don Quixote joined the Don Quixote family, they did not know each other and had no interaction after his defection.

He could cut off the scrotums of Torrepol and others, but they...

Under Luo's gaze, Sugar and Monet's faces turned deathly pale again. They had witnessed Luo's execution of their colleagues...

Luo didn't give Torrepol and the others a chance to confess; he cut them off immediately!

"We're willing," Sugar said hastily, her face pale.

“Tell Sieg that we are all willing to sacrifice ourselves.”

“Sig?” Luo asked, slightly surprised.

It was Sieg who gave him the opportunity to personally execute Torrepol and the others; this was a favor.

Although Luo didn't know what Sugar was talking about, since it had become involved with Sieg, he should know when to stop and not interfere anymore.

"Sacrifice?" The bald man was slightly taken aback. He had been listening in the background, and now he suddenly turned to look at the two sisters, one big and one small, with an unusually serious expression.

"So you're already prepared to dedicate yourselves to our great cause. Your ideological awareness is truly high." The bald man nodded approvingly.

"Luo, go and tell Boss Sig." The bald man pushed Luo out of the room, then quickly pulled a small notebook from his pocket, his expression becoming devout.

........

"Dedication? That's a strange word." Sieg's eye twitched as he looked at Luo in front of him.

Did you say anything strange to them?

"...No. They gave in before I even said anything," Luo said.

"So it seems they've given in and are willing to abandon darkness for light." Sieg didn't think much of it.

Although Monet's personal strength is somewhat lacking, and she holds an unimportant position such as secretary in the Donquixote family, she is, after all, a Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit user.

The future is promising, the future is promising.

As for sugar... the power of the Hobby Fruit is beyond doubt.

Even the outlaw Zhang Sanka of yesteryear pales in comparison to the effects of the Childlike Fun Fruit.

After all, Zhang San's card only serves to hide his real name and prevent others from discovering his false identity, thus deceiving the world, but this deception is not absolute.

As long as there is sufficient evidence and the logical chain is complete, Zhang San cannot always escape legal punishment.

For example, a clever person like Vegapunk, who has access to a wealth of historical information, can see through Zhang San's deception.

"The effect of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit is simply to alter the memories of everyone in the world... Everything about those affected by the fruit's power cannot be remembered by the world."

"...This sounds somewhat familiar?" Sieg frowned.

Sieg vaguely remembered someone he had forgotten for a long time, and his heart skipped a beat.

Panda Man?

Chapter 1173 Forgotten 4k

Pandaman was originally just an Easter egg character in the One Piece world.

He appears repeatedly as the story progresses, in Luffy's journey, Roger's journey decades ago, in the holy land of Marineford, and at Marine Headquarters, among other places.

This was originally an insignificant Easter egg character, but when this character actually existed in the world, it became quite terrifying upon closer inspection.

Sig had discovered the existence of the Pandaren a long time ago, and had even mentioned it to Crocus, Rayleigh, Shanks, and others, but in the end, no one found out anything.

Even Sieg himself had forgotten the existence of the Pandaren.

"Forgotten?"

"The characteristics of the Pandaren are very similar to those of the Fun Fruit," Sig thought to himself.

The Fun Fruit can alter the memories of everyone in the world, completely erasing one person's memories.

For example, Cyrus, the strongest gladiator in Dressrosa, still has a statue in the arena after he was turned into a toy. However, no one remembers the specific information about this person, and even his existence is just an unverified legend. No one can connect Cyrus with the toy soldier with the broken leg.

"Was the Pandaman turned into a toy by a certain user of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit? No, that's not right either."

"The ability of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit is to erase the world's memory of a person's existence the moment they are turned into a toy. It is a one-time memory erasure effect."

"Cyrus, who had become a one-legged soldier, lived in Dressrosa for ten years, during which time other people's memories of the one-legged soldier remained intact."

Sieg felt that his thinking might have gone astray.

"Perhaps it is not a fruit of childlike innocence, but a fruit that is symmetrical to it."

"Just like the symmetry between the Time-Reversal Fruit and the Time Fruit, perhaps there exists a Devil Fruit in this world whose effect is similar to, yet opposite to, the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, allowing others to forget them?"

Sieg pondered for a moment and then wrote down these thoughts in his notebook.

The Fun Fruit can alter the memories of living people, but it cannot change the written records in a notebook.

As the footsteps drew near, Sieg put down his pen and saw that it was King Riku and Violet approaching together.

With Violet's explanation, King Riku finally understood the whole story and why the bandit king had come to this island.

The old king bowed deeply to Sieg in gratitude, and his former subordinates standing behind him followed suit.

The once bustling King's Heights gradually quieted down, with the Revolutionary Army members and the NEO Navy watching this scene in silence from afar.

The Revolutionary Army was relatively easy to deal with, but the Neo Navy members had somewhat complicated expressions.

Logically speaking... when a member state is invaded by a powerful pirate, it should be the responsibility of its navy to drive the pirates away.

As a result, Doflamingo became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he also seized the kingdom as a savior, eventually becoming the king of this affiliated country.

With his dual status as the king of a member state and a Shichibukai, the Navy not only cannot openly touch Doflamingo, but also has to assist him in maintaining order...

"General Zephyr, what do we do now? Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

"Among the NEO Navy, an officer asked a question."

"The bandit king is, after all, a wanted criminal... What he did this time was just, should we let him go for now?"

Although they had defected from the Navy, these soldiers still identified themselves as Navy personnel, still considered it their duty to eliminate pirates, and still addressed Zephyr as Admiral—it was their habit.

When their sense of justice clashed with their sense of duty, they, as always, began to struggle with their dilemma.

"It seems you haven't adapted to your new identities yet." It wasn't Zephyr who spoke, but Ian.

The palace had already been restored, and upon hearing the navy's discussion, he strode over, carrying a stack of newspapers in his hand.

“Take a good look. This is today’s World Daily, the official newspaper controlled by the World Government,” Ain said.

Since News King Morgans defied the World Government's wishes and insisted on publishing the Marineford War story, he has been wanted by the World Government.

As a kingpin of the underworld, Morgans has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. He has not yet been apprehended, but the circulation of the World Economic Herald has been affected to some extent.

The World Government, having learned its lesson, is preparing to establish a mouthpiece for the World Government and the Navy, just as it had supported Stussy, the Queen of Pleasure Street, in the past... which is now the World Daily.

Several officers took the newspaper, glanced at it, were immediately shocked, and then gave a wry smile.

"Is that really the case?"

"Admiral Zephyr, Admiral Fujitora... and Admiral Ain... are all wanted."

"The World Government says we're colluding with the Mountain Bandit King, and has labeled our NEO Navy as rebels and...pirates!"

"Next, we will continue to be stigmatized by the World Government. Whether we are doing justice, saving cities, or freeing slaves, we will be seen as rebels and pirates in the eyes of the world."

The officers' expressions were a mixture of emotions.

They spent half their lives fighting pirates, but they never imagined that one day they would become wanted pirates themselves.

“This is expected; it would be abnormal if the World Government didn’t issue a warrant for our arrest.” Zephyr nodded slightly.

“Aion is right. Our road ahead will be difficult, and our reputation will suffer.”

“The current NEO Marines are considered pirates by the World Government and are the targets of the Marines’ pursuit.” Ain put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Sig, who was surrounded by King Riku and others in the distance.
