I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

At that very moment, Sieg's left hand trembled slightly.

Adam the Tree had completely vanished without a trace. A strange power swirled around his body, and he could feel that his skin had become thicker, as if he were wearing an invisible armor. Of course, this was just a sensory illusion.

The male is on the left and the female on the right; Eve is on the right leg of the Sun Tree, and Adam is on the left leg of the Precious Tree.

At the same time, a semi-transparent panel appeared in front of them, displaying the relevant data of the Treasure Tree Adam.

Adam the Tree (left leg):

Shared Ability: Treasure Tree - Extremely resilient, it stands firm through any war and is known as the strongest tree, making the skin of the whole body even more resilient.

Energy Demand --- The massive tree requires a large supply of energy to sustain its life.

Siegfried had no time to be distracted; Garp's iron fist had already arrived.

boom!

A fierce gust of wind blew in, and the immense power from Garp's iron fist seemed to penetrate his entire body. The dragon scales that had just appeared on Sig's waist and abdomen caved in, forming the shape of a fist, and were shattered by this blow.

Sig grunted, stubbornly standing still, and at that moment he finally reached out his left hand and grabbed Garp's wrist.

"You---" Karp wanted to say something, but his attention was drawn to Sig's eyes.

The mental storm that had been brewing in his eyes finally erupted completely.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The telekinetic force instantly transformed into an invisible storm that crashed outwards. Amidst the deafening roar, Akainu and the others who had just approached were swept away by the telekinetic storm and sent flying backwards like kites with broken strings.

The sudden burst of surging telekinetic energy was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami erupting. The large cargo ship beneath their feet instantly disintegrated, and even the sea beneath the ship was pressed down by an invisible force, causing it to cave in. Then, a giant wave tens of meters high was generated, swallowing and tearing apart all the surrounding warships.

After the storm.

This massive naval fleet has suffered nearly half its losses, and even the admirals have been knocked back.

Sig remained standing in the air.

The three generals retreated rapidly, but Garp was held by the wrist tightly, lifted into the air, and covered in blood.

"So I've become this strong? Life is truly as lonely as snow," Sig sighed.

at this time.

With a loud thud.

Garp, covered in blood, turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the air.

The scene was so striking, it was as if the shadow clone had been scattered and vanished, leaving Sieg slightly taken aback.

However, after looking down at the chaotic battlefield below, he quickly came to his senses.

Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!

Amidst a series of soft sounds, the warships that had been torn apart by telekinesis all turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared into the wind.

Amidst the smoke, a figure draped in a blood-red cloak, holding a long umbrella, stood atop a warship, with a full moon behind him.

P.S.: Book recommendation for Sunday.

Book title: Can I still leave the group now?

Synopsis: At his sixteenth birthday party, Lux joins a chat group. Having never had friends since childhood, he longs for a genuine and passionate friendship. He thinks he can fulfill his wish, but unknowingly, he drifts further and further away from it...

Goddess of the Underworld: Lux, there are flowers in the Underworld! There are flowers in my Underworld too! Thank you...

Ooeyama Oni King: I really want to pull out the master's bones and soak them in wine—to lick every last drop clean, right down to the marrow.

The most wicked elf: Alara... Hehehe, don't be a philanderer, Lux-kun. Philanderers will have to swallow a thousand needles.

A 17-year-old girl: You've clearly stolen my heart, but you won't admit it. What a jerk, Lux.

Chapter 1252 I am the Mountain Bandit King, I shall suppress all enemies in the world. (5k)

The bright moon hangs high, and the stars are scattered across the fields.

This was a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties, with a scarlet cloak covering his back and a long-handled umbrella that was not open in his hand.

Despite his young age, he possessed a calm and mature demeanor. He silently met Sieg's gaze without uttering a word.

A raccoon with a large golden tail hopped and climbed onto his shoulder, mimicking the young man in the blood-red cloak as he stared at Sig.

“Redfield, it’s been a long time.” Sig straightened his robes and spoke first.

When he saw Redfield and the raccoon dog beside him, he understood.

"You recognized me?" Redfield asked, slightly puzzled.

He seemed to have no intention of catching up with Sieg, and simply patted the raccoon on his shoulder.

"Padong, things are about to get dangerous. Let's go back to our original forms," ​​he whispered.

"Yes, boss." Padong's body quickly shrank, eventually turning into a golden pen, which Redfield clipped to his chest pocket.

Sieg's idea has now come true.

Both the human and the tanuki have now become Mythical Zoan-type ability users, which are even rarer than Logia-type abilities.

Redfield was once slapped on the back of the bottle by Seager, which made him look 12 years younger... but that was 12 years ago.

When the crisis of aging returned, he did not focus his attention on Ain and Sieg like the Golden Lion did, but sought other methods.

But since he has regained his youth and has clearly not come into contact with Shiki, there is obviously only one answer—Redfield's rejuvenation is the result of another Devil Fruit.

Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Vampire form.

The raccoon beside him was even more astonishing; it was the cause of those illusions.

The true form of the raccoon dog Padong is a golden pen that has eaten the raccoon dog fruit, making it comparable to the magic brush of Ma Liang.

Padon's ability is the Mythical Zoan type of the Cat-Cat Fruit, the Tanuki form.

The power of this fruit is even more outrageous than the Vampire Fruit that grants eternal youth; it's like the ultimate enhanced version of Kanjuro's Paint-Paint Fruit from Wano Country.

Compared to ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits, the Baketan Fruit does not provide the user with enhancements in physical abilities or strength, so this tanuki is not very strong and can only be considered a mascot.

However, the unique superpowers of Mythical Zoan species are extremely powerful.

Users of the Bake-Bake Fruit can create a derivative of their fruit's power—morphing leaves.

By writing your name on the morphing leaf, you can bring the things in your memory to life and make them appear in reality.

At first glance, it resembles the fruit of painting, but it is many times better than the latter.

The transformed leaf of the raccoon fruit only requires writing a name; it reproduces people and things that the user has seen in their own memory, and cannot be created out of thin air.

But with the power of Lone Red, she could even conjure up a Marine Admiral, or even Punk Hazard and Fish-Man Island, through the Transformation Leaf.

That's right... the one using the ability is not Paton, the user of the Bake-Bake Fruit, but Lone Red.

Padon is not very powerful. As the user of the ability, it can only conjure simple items such as telescopes and cannot conjure more complex large islands or characters.

But what's absurd is that... the power of the Bake-Bake Fruit is achieved through a derivative power called "Transformation Leaf".

This derivative, Lone Red, can also be used normally, and because of his own strength and powerful Observation Haki, he can exert an effect far exceeding that of the Devil Fruit user.

The naval warships and admirals we just saw were also from the memories of Lone Red himself.

“The real Akainu is already the Fleet Admiral, but the fake Akainu was still wearing the red suit he wore during his Admiral days. So the Akainu created by the Raccoon Fruit is not the current Akainu. Judging from his appearance, he should be Admiral Akainu from the Impel Down escape war 12 years ago. The other Admirals are the same,” Sigurd pondered.

The fake Akainu and others created based on the memories of Lone Red are practically like shadow clones. Although their strength is not comparable to the real Akainu, it is very close.

Sig glanced down at the wound on his chest and abdomen, a punch delivered by the fake Garp, and felt a sense of apprehension.

The extent of Fake Garp's power depends on Lone Red himself; he needs Garp's power as a support.

Therefore, the power of the Lone Red is no weaker than that of the fake Garp.

Now it seems that this Lone Red, who has regained his youth like Shiki and also gained a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit ability, is no longer as strong as he used to be.

“Redfield, it’s been years. You’ve only just reappeared, and you’re already trying to steal my precious tree, Adam?” Sieg said.

"This is yours? Morgans is one of your men?" Redfield pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"The Adam Tree is the best material for building pirate ships. I want to use the Adam Tree as the wood to build my own pirate ship. As for meeting you, it was just a coincidence."

Pirates stealing things is perfectly normal, and there's not much to explain about it.

Although Redfield can conjure up warships, these are ultimately fakes and cannot last long.

"The ocean is vast, and now you're telling me this is just a coincidence?" Sieg met Redfield's gaze across the distance, then grinned.

This is clearly—

"What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence! Redfield, the two best shipbuilders in the world, Tom and Barrett, are both with me. If you want to build a ship, you can't go wrong with them." Sieg smiled and began soliciting business:

"Given our friendship, building a ship is no big deal for us."

"Moreover, times have changed," Sieg said with a sigh.

"What kind of precious tree Adam is it? In the end, it's just a wooden boat. No matter how hard the wood is, can it compare to steel or Wahlbo alloy?"

"You want your own pirate ship? Why would you need wood? I can send you a full-metal warship made of Wapol alloy."

“Sig, you-----” Redfield was a little caught off guard by Sig’s enthusiasm.

He instinctively activated his Observation Haki and immediately heard Sigurd's thoughts...

"Are you trying to drag me onto your pirate ship to fight the World Government?" Redfield's expression turned slightly cold.

"Overthrowing the World Government? That's not something pirates should do."

Redfield flatly refused.

He was a loner by nature and a rare lone pirate on the high seas.

Hawkeye, though a lone pirate, at least had a drinking buddy like Shanks, while Redfield was different.

"You...are you reading my mind?" Sig realized this and couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Redfield's expression immediately turned somewhat awkward.

Twelve years ago, he had a deal with Sieg, who threw a bottle at his head, making him age 12 years backward.
