I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

at the same time.

Within the alternate dimension of Mary Geoise, the highest peak on the red earth continent, thousands of meters above sea level.

The alternate dimension corresponds to Mary Geoise in the outside world, like two sides of a mirror.

The only two differences are that there is a filter in the alternate dimension, and everything and everyone is no exception... This is how it should be.

Deep within the alternate dimension of Pangu City, a CP0 member in a white suit sat at a table with his eyes closed, handling official business.

This CP0 member was completely covered in a white coat, with his hands covered by full-coverage white gloves, and a gold mask on his face.

The white-gloved CP0 is the only one in this holy land who doesn't have a green filter on his body.

He was not in the sacred place in reality, but in another dimension.

But suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked in a direction outside the holy site.

"So, he really did infiltrate the Holy Land secretly using the Door-Door Fruit's power?"

CP0, the white-gloved company, chuckled and muttered to itself:

"If the Holy Land had known that Stussy had become a traitor and had even gained the abilities of General Dor, how could they not have been on guard?"

He shook his head, stood up, reached out and pushed against the air in front of him, and an air door quickly opened.

He stepped inside, returning to the sacred place of reality.

Ten seconds later, alarms blared throughout Mary Geoise, waking everyone with their piercing sounds.

A minute later, even the Marine Headquarters beneath the Red Line sounded the alarm. The sleeping Marines quickly assembled and lined up in the plaza, including all the high-ranking officers, including Fleet Admiral Akainu.

While all the naval personnel looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding what had happened.

With a creak.

A door opened in the air, and a white-gloved CP0 officer stepped out.

This is not an ordinary air portal connecting to another dimension, but a teleportation portal spanning a vast distance.

"Navy, the Holy Land has been attacked. Come with me to the Holy Land."

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

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

Even under the cover of night, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise remains magnificent, tall, and imposing.

Mary Geoise is the city inhabited by the Celestial Dragons, while the core city is the deeper Pangaea.

This wasn't Sig's first time visiting the Holy Land, but he didn't linger there within the alternate dimension.

After placing the Dushan on the red earth continent in the alternate dimension, Stussy reached out and opened the air door.

Higuma, along with Roger, Whitebeard, and other powerful figures, filed out and appeared in the Holy Land.

But before they could make a move, a cannon blast rang out, and the once somewhat empty holy land was now teeming with people from all directions, who had apparently sensed Sig's invasion in advance.

Not only that, to the astonishment of Sig and the others, an air portal quietly opened, revealing Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, on the other side.

Fleet Admiral Akainu took the lead, followed closely by the admirals and vice admirals, as they emerged from the portal.

The once empty holy land is now teeming with people, surrounding Sig and his group. There are at least tens of thousands of people, and more are still arriving through the portal.

"Is that the Door-Door Fruit?" Stussy frowned.

"No, there can't possibly be two Devil Fruits that are exactly the same in the world... Could it be that other fruits have also developed similar techniques? But these are too similar, aren't they? They're practically identical."

As Stussy was astonished, an aged voice rang out from the depths of the holy land.

"Offending the Holy Land time and time again... Sig, do you really think we have no countermeasures?"

"Sig, you've fallen for their trap."

The newcomers were five elderly men of varying statures. As they approached, it was as if the water was parted by rocks, and everyone made way for them.

A bald old man with a knife at his waist walked to the front. He placed his hand on the long knife at his waist, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he had an impressive presence.

"The First Generation Kitetsu?" Roger's gaze fell on the long sword at the waist of the Five Elders, his eyes showing a strange light.

The first generation Kitetsu is the prototype sword of Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu, and it is ranked among the twelve Supreme Grade Swords.

But Sigurd's attention wasn't on the Five Elders, or even on the CP0 member with the white gloves who was suspected to be the second Door-Door Fruit user.

His gaze swept over the crowd before him, passing over each familiar figure.

Behind Fleet Admiral Akainu were the three current Admirals of the Navy, all of whom had arrived.

Aokiji, Kizaru... and a young man in a green robe, standing side by side with Aokiji and Kizaru, was none other than Green Bull, the third Marine Admiral who had been appointed in the two years following the Marineford War.

Sig paused, looking at the green bull in front of him, feeling that it looked somewhat familiar.

Green Bull is a young man who is not very old. He is somewhat thin, has a short beard, dark circles under his eyes, and is only a little over 1.8 meters tall. Standing between Kizaru and Aokiji, who are both about 3 meters tall, he looks a bit like a chicken among cranes.

Rather than being an admiral, his image is more like that of a petty thug or drug addict, quite different from the style of the naval personnel around him.

"Huh? Isn't this Sig?" Green Bull greeted Sig casually when he saw him looking over.

Seeing Sieg's puzzled look, Green Bull smiled and pointed to himself:

"Don't you remember me? Speaking of which, my becoming Green Bull has something to do with you."

A look of reminiscence crossed Green Bull Akin's face.

More than two years ago, Arkin was just the captain of the Krieg Pirates in the East Blue.

At that time, Higuma was traveling in the East China Sea under the name "King Sun Bear," a swordsman of the Flying Sword Style. During his journey, he encountered the Krieg Pirates and Hawkeye at the Baratie sea restaurant. Higuma jokingly called Gin "Green Bull," leaving Gin completely confused.

Later, when the name "Wang Rixiong" was exposed, and after the bandit king Sig killed the general Dol and shattered the void to return to the human world, Akin learned that the person who had called him Green Bull was actually the legendary bandit king.

"The mighty bandit king actually recognized a nobody like me, A-Jin, and even called me Green Bull A-Jin!" A-Jin exclaimed.

"I only found out afterward that the so-called Green Bull is actually a code name used only by admirals and admiral candidates in the Navy!"

"A mountain bandit king actually thinks I, A-Jin, have the makings of a great general!" A-Jin's eyes blazed with fury; he was deeply moved.

After the incident at the floating restaurant, he finally saw Captain Creek's true colors.

Considered by the bandit king to have the potential to be a great general, he naturally wouldn't stay in this small pond of the East Blue forever.

At that time, he said goodbye to Luffy, Sanji and the others, saying that they would meet again on the Grand Line, and then left gracefully.

After two years of twists and turns and hardships, he finally got his wish and became Admiral Green Bull.

"I remember that incident at the sea restaurant very clearly; that experience of going hungry was truly unforgettable." Green Bull Ajin spoke with deep emotion as he recalled the past:

"But I'm different now. I haven't eaten for almost three years. Having overcome my weakness, I'm stronger than ever!"

"Now, I am Green Bull Akin!"

Sig: ? ? ?

What nonsense is this?

He wasn't there to catch up with Ah Jin; ignoring Green Bull's attempt to engage him in conversation, he looked at the others.

Among the dense crowd were admirals and fleet commanders of the Navy, as well as Commander-in-Chief Kong, several powerful CP0 aces, and even Sig spotted Phoenix Palace, a female Celestial Dragon whom he had met once before in Impel Down.

But none of these were the people he wanted to see.

Chapter 1275 Eat Well (4k)

Under the cover of night, the holy land was bustling with people, and large numbers of navy and CP agents continued to emerge from the portal, gathering in ever-growing numbers.

"It's just a Door-Door Fruit. Do you really think you can come and go freely in the Holy Land just because you have a Devil Fruit?" The Five Elders with swords sneered.

"Devil Fruits are nothing special. We can have as many as we want. What's so difficult about finding another fruit that can counter the Door-Door Fruit?"

The Five Elders were positioned at the rear of the battlefield, surrounded by a massive crowd of naval and special agents who had also emerged from the air portal, including Sig and several hundred others.

"Are they other Devil Fruits in the hands of the World Government?" Stussy's eyes narrowed.

As a former CP0 member, she was well aware that the World Government possessed a vast number of Devil Fruits.

The Devil Fruits that sell for over 100 million on the black market are nothing more than toys that the Celestial Dragons feed to their slaves for their amusement.

"In the past year or two, the average price of Devil Fruits on the black market has been rising steadily. Even the most ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit has reached a price of over one billion Berries."

"Now it seems that it wasn't someone maliciously hoarding goods, or it was a secret acquisition by the Four Emperors Kaido and Big Mom. The person who did this is probably the World Government, which controls most of the world's wealth and resources."

Stussy understood.

Although she is no longer the queen of the underworld, she is extremely sensitive to any movement in the underground world and has long noticed the abnormal price increase of Devil Fruits in recent years.

Perhaps only a world government could so brazenly acquire the fruits of war.

It is often said that there are no weak Devil Fruits, only weak Devil Fruit users.

That statement isn't entirely wrong.

There are no weak Devil Fruits, but some are exceptionally strong, even to the point of being a bug.

Some Devil Fruits don't require much development to possess powerful abilities, such as all Logia and Zoan Mythical Beast types. Some fruits, like the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, the Tanuki-Tanuki Fruit, and the Momo-Momo Fruit, are so powerful that they can only appear in theatrical versions.

If the World Government possesses a vast number of Devil Fruits, there must be some exceptionally powerful, overpowered ones among them.

It's not impossible to find a Devil Fruit among the countless others that can counter or even restrain the Door-Door Fruit.

"Relying on a Devil Fruit?" Sigurd slightly curled the corners of his mouth, looking at the surging crowd before him, his expression remaining neither sad nor happy.

"Originally, I only wanted to infiltrate the Holy Land and end all this as quickly as possible, but since you want to die a more glorious death..."

“Then so be it.” Sig’s voice was deep and loud, carrying through the night and giving the group of marines a vague sense of foreboding.

Behind him.

Roger removed the night cloak that concealed his face, took a step forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Sieg, looking at the marines ahead.

"You didn't want me to retire? Well then, here I come."

His lips curled slightly upwards, and his mustache arched upwards, revealing a dazzling array of white teeth against the night sky.

"It's the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!" This caused a commotion at the World Government's side.

"No, not just Roger, but his pirate crew too?" In the navy, Vice Admiral Tsuru, whose hair had turned gray, looked behind Roger and saw many familiar faces.

Rayleigh, the Dark King; Sparky Jabba, the Pirate King's left arm; Crocus, the ship's doctor... and other old men who disappeared from the World Government's sight after the Roger Pirates disbanded.
