I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Sig's destination was not to return to Wano Country, but to entrust the NEO Navy to send the trafficked children back to their original families after the children's treatment was completed, and to meet Ain, Violet, and the others again.

The voyage was not long and there was plenty of time, so for the next month, the Dushan giant ship's fog-making equipment was fully operational, and it drifted on the sea at a low speed.

..........................................

Two weeks after Sig left Punk Hazard.

A ship bearing the name of the Big Mom Pirates finally arrived at Punk Hazard, the only vessel to visit the uninhabited island in the past two weeks.

"What is that Caesar up to?" Baron Egg, the combatant, scoffed.

"According to the rules, we should contact Mom every two months to report on the latest progress of the experiment, but this time he has lost contact. We can't even get through to the Den Den Mushi. He's forcing us to come to this godforsaken place."

"Could it be that they've run off with the funds?" another combatant, Pokhomos the Mink Lion, replied casually.

"How is that possible? They dare to steal the money of the Four Emperors? And steal it from two of them at once?" Baron Egg scoffed.

“I think so too.” Pokoms nodded. He had just said it casually and hadn’t taken it seriously.

But when they landed on Punk Hazard, they witnessed something beyond their wildest imagination.

"Where is Caesar? Where is the research institute?"

"Such a large research institute, how could it be gone?" Pokhomos was stunned on the spot. He took off his sunglasses, and his beady eyes behind them widened instantly.

In my memory, all that remains of the Caesar Research Institute is a deep pit, surrounded by four distinct narrow ravines. The institute has vanished without a trace.

"Did we remember wrong? Did we go to the wrong place?" The two combatants quickly broke out in a cold sweat. They knew how seriously the old woman took the giantification experiment.

Next, they searched the entire island but found no living person; the entire research institute had vanished without a trace.

Not only were the people and research institute gone, but even a layer of the land was scraped away, which was an eye-opener for the crew members of the Four Emperors.

I don’t know when it started, but An Ge has been having different “dreams” every night.

until one day.

In the "dream," a person named "Altair" suddenly appeared, a white-haired girl wielding a military knife and wearing a military uniform.

An Ge then realized what was going on.

It turns out he had transmigrated into the protagonist of someone else's story!

Then the problem is coming.

Why does he have so many "works"?

Chapter 1182 The Uniqueness of Devil Fruits 6k

Totto Land, the kingdom of Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors.

In the heart of the kingdom, Cake Island, and the surrounding islands, almost all the buildings and streets are constructed from various food ingredients, and the air seems to be filled with the sweet aroma of food.

Rabbits that stand upright ride cranes and run, trees in the forest seem to dance and sing, and on the streets of the kingdom, people of all races with different appearances walk about.

At first glance, it looks just like a fairy tale kingdom.

For decades, the old woman has not only been collecting numerous rare races, but also superhuman food-type ability users, all in order to create this fairytale world where all races of the world gather together and there is an endless supply of food.

In the main hall of the kingdom's castle, a massive woman, about eight meters tall and as fleshy as a mountain, sat on the throne.

The woman was obese and robust, nearly three stories tall. Her cheeks were slightly sagging, and she had wrinkles on her forehead, yet she was wearing a pink halter-neck dress that didn't suit her age or figure.

Before her stood several Homiz chess piece soldiers, holding up photographs of the deep pit of the Punk Hazard Research Institute, taken by Pokoms and others.

"Who ruined my plans?" The woman's face suddenly turned icy cold.

Caesar's giantification experiment is crucial. Big Mom sees the power of the giants as the final piece of the puzzle on her path to becoming the Pirate King. If the giantification experiment succeeds, or if she forms a marriage alliance with the giants, she will be able to surpass all other Pirate Emperors.

Katakuri, the second son of the older woman, analyzed below:

"Judging from the traces at the scene in the photos, there are four huge trenches that look like they were cleaved by sword energy. At the same time, the research institute has vanished without a trace, leaving only a deep pit in its place, without any ruins left. This characteristic should be the ability of some kind of Devil Fruit..."

"The person who did this was likely a powerful swordsman, and considering this deep pit..." Katakuri concluded.

"The most likely candidate is Shiki the Golden Lion, a user of the Float-Float Fruit."

At this point, Katakuri seemed unsure and added:

"It could also be the bandit king, Higuma, who is said to have eaten the male-female Float-Float Fruit."

Caesar has two Emperors as his backers. Anyone on this sea who dares to lay a hand on Caesar has to think twice. Therefore, there are very few people who meet the requirements.

After hearing Katakuri's words, the old woman's eyes revealed a chilling murderous intent, which seemed to lower the temperature of the entire main hall. At this moment, all the ministers, including her children, turned pale and dared not utter a sound.

"Whoever ruined my plans... they all have to die!" she muttered under her breath.

"We must find out the truth; this matter cannot be left unresolved."

Among the Four Emperors, Big Mom has the strongest intelligence capabilities.

Sigurd changed his mind. Instead of turning Caesar into a toy to make Big Mom forget him, he killed Caesar directly. Although he acted swiftly and decisively, it was not without leaving any trace.

"Fortunately, there's a second option... Caesar is ultimately unreliable; in the end, we still have to rely on family." The older woman shook her head coldly.

"Katakuri, how is Lola? She's Loki's bride, is everything ready for her wedding?"

Katakuri's eyes twitched slightly, and he lowered his eyelids.

"...Fortunately, after being locked up for half a year, she has almost given up on escaping," Katakuri replied.

Several years ago, Loki, the prince of Elbaf, the land of giants, fell in love at first sight with Lola, the daughter of Big Mom. Big Mom was overjoyed when she learned of this, seeing it as the key to rebuilding her relationship with the giants.

More than a year ago, Lola escaped and became famous as "Lola the Proposer," becoming a rookie pirate in the first half of the Grand Line.

However, the Thriller Bark was no more. The Dushan giant ship left the Devil's Triangle after Sig appeared, and Lola was not trapped in that area for long.

Six months ago, Lola was captured by the Big Mom Pirates' executives and immediately sent back to Whole Cake Island.

"Ha, I've given Lola six months already, she should have given up long ago."

The older woman said coldly.

This matter is of utmost importance and absolutely cannot be compromised; we must work on Lola's mindset.

If Caesar hadn't suddenly run into trouble, she probably could have given Lola some more time... but now she didn't want to wait any longer.

"I want to see Lola and Loki's wedding in one month," Big Mom said coldly. "This will be a turning point for the Big Mom Pirates. With the power of Elbaf, the world's strongest nation, I can surpass all the other Pirate Emperors and become the new Pirate King!"

Elbaf, the land of giants, is designated as the strongest nation in the world, with military power surpassing that of Totto Land.

"So, where will the wedding be held? Will it be on Whole Cake Island?" a minister asked.

“If we chose Whole Cake Island, the giants might not have come…” Big Mom, whose relationship with Elbaf was strained, changed her tune:

"Let's get in touch with the man and finally set the wedding location in Elbaf, the land of giants."

"Give Kaido a copy of the wedding invitation too."

In order to win the favor of the giants of Elbaf, the old lady is also preparing to make some changes.

Ten years ago, after Kaido was driven out of Wano Country, his years of accumulation were destroyed in one fell swoop. He could only form a pirate alliance with Big Mom in order to protect himself. Since then, the two have been advancing and retreating together.

Traveling to the land of giants is no small matter, and to be on the safe side, Big Mom will need Kaido's assistance.

Immediately afterwards, the other children and ministers of the eldest daughter-in-law discussed the wedding arrangements in the main hall, and the tense atmosphere gradually eased.

"Just like before, no one asked Laura's opinion."

Katakuri watched coldly as his siblings discussed their sister's wedding, a scene that would normally be heartwarming in a normal family...

In stark contrast to the Whitebeard Pirates, who were not related by blood, Big Mom's children were all her biological offspring, but the bond between mother and children was generally not very good.

She ruled the entire pirate crew and Whole Cake Island by relying on her immense strength and unpredictable temperament. She even killed her own child when she suffered a food craving attack.

.........................................

Time flies, and half a month has passed quietly.

Vegapunk's experiments went very smoothly. A month after leaving Punk Hazard, he developed an antidote, allowing the children involved in the experiments to recover from the addictive Titan drug.

The giant ship Dushan continued its voyage, and Sig contacted Ain through a Den Den Mushi to arrange a meeting place, ready to meet again.

For the past month, Sieg has not disturbed Vegapunk's research, but has been quietly busy with his own things.

Armament Haki is something that requires gradual mastery; there are no shortcuts. Sigurd has only mastered Armament Haki for a year, and there is still considerable room for improvement in its strength, which requires a significant investment of time.

After a day of exercise.

After taking a hot shower to wash away his fatigue, Sieg sat down at his desk and couldn't help but take out the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit and a notebook filled with notes from his inventory.

In the original world without Sigurdsson's interference, two types of artificial Devil Fruits existed.

The artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruit SMILE created by Caesar, and the artificial Zoan-type Mythical Zoan-type Azure Dragon Fruit created by Vegapunk.

The Caesar version of the fruit can be mass-produced, but it has serious flaws.

Vegapunk's version, strictly speaking, is not a failure, but it must have some limitations.

Either it's more expensive to manufacture than the Pacifista, or it can't be mass-produced, or its capabilities are inferior to the original...

In short, this is not a perfect Devil Fruit exactly the same as Kaido's original Devil Fruit; otherwise, the World Government would have given one to everyone, ushering in an era where "everyone is a dragon."

"Not only is the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit different from the original, but the clone Vegapunk's artificial Time Reversal Fruit ability is also different from the original."
