I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

She remembered something from long ago.

This story begins with the Queen of the Ivankov and her Hormone Fruit.

First, let's start with junior high school biology knowledge:

A normal person's body contains not only male hormones (androgens) but also female hormones (androgens).

Excess estrogen can cause feminization in men, and vice versa.

Therefore, altering hormones in the human body will cause significant changes, but sex reassignment is impossible based solely on hormones. Growing a penis is out of the question; at most, one might resemble the "Protein Queen" from a biology textbook or Nezha from the 10 Cold Jokes series.

Stussy was a former CP0 expert in life return, so he also mastered the ability to change body shape and alter hormones in the human body.

If needed, she can also transform into a three-meter-tall little giant, just like Sig's Life Return: Paper Body.

“Although Sieg is an expert in life restoration, sex reassignment cannot be achieved solely through life restoration or hormonal changes,” Stussy denied the possibility.

Thinking about this, Stussy became a little uncertain again.

Sig's skill in returning life far surpasses her own; what she cannot do, perhaps Sig truly can?

After all, Sig has embarked on an evolutionary path similar to that of Im.

Stussy still felt a lingering fear when she thought back to that woman who could even optimize PY (presumably referring to a specific type of vaginal discharge) and had surpassed human capabilities.

"They've both gone down similar paths. If Im can optimize away PY and become a being beyond human, then Sig, who can defeat Im... could he have optimized away that thing as well?"

Stussy was also a bit confused, his mind was in turmoil.

The authorities are fascinated.

Before she knew it, she had become deeply involved, lost her composure, and started having thoughts she wouldn't normally have.

After thinking for a long time, she bit her lip and made a decision.

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

The banquet between Sigir, Whitebeard, and Roger lasted from the afternoon until evening.

As night fell, many of them gradually collapsed, completely drunk.

Sigurd's alcohol tolerance was average, but he was willing to pay for cheating with his life, so he could barely hold on and ended up getting Roger and Whitebeard drunk first.

When he raised his glass again, there was almost no one left standing in front of him.

"I, Sieg, have never been inferior to anyone in my life." Sieg raised his glass and remarked:

"Invincible, truly lonely as snow."

As he was reminiscing, a petite figure quietly approached from behind.

"Sig, you're drunk. Let me help you home."

Sugar, who looks only about ten years old, quietly reached out and grasped Sigur's right hand.

As their palms touched, Sugar's body rapidly expanded and grew larger, transforming from a ten-year-old child into an adult, and his figure became more upright.

"Success!" Sugar clenched her fist secretly.

Finally... while Sieg was drunk, she secretly experienced what it felt like to grow up.

Just as she was holding Sieg's hand tightly, preparing to help him back,

Another figure appeared from behind.

“Leave it to me.” Stussy looked at Sugar calmly, causing her to take a step back for no reason, loosen her grip on Sieg’s hand, and her body was once again brought back to its original state.

Stussy didn't even look at her, and helped Sieg up:

"Let me take you back to rest."

“...Okay.” Sig nodded.

Stussy waved his hand in the air in front of him, and helped Sieg into an air portal. In the blink of an eye, the two had disappeared without a trace.

Ah Ling and the others were not surprised.

Stussy is a user of the Door-Door Fruit, so similar things happened quite a few times during Sigurd's summer vacation.

Using the Door-Door Fruit's teleportation portal, she can quickly bring Sigurd back to her room on the Dushan, making the ability very convenient.

But this time...

"Where is Stuttgart? She seems to have been gone for quite a while this time?" Ain was the first to notice something was wrong.

Ah Ling had already set up a barbecue grill on the beach and was holding a skewer of grilled fish.

"Could she be sneaking a bite somewhere?" Ah Ling picked up a skewer of grilled meat and wolfed it down.

Sneaking food?

The Dragon King was taken aback at first, then her expression gradually became comical as her gaze fell on the violet beside her.

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

Inside the Dushan Castle, in the master bedroom on the top floor.

Reeking of alcohol, Sieg sat on the bed with his eyes closed, rapidly digesting the alcohol through the Life Return technique.

“Stusi, thank you for your hard work this time too,” he said.

After he finished speaking, no one responded.

When he opened his eyes, Stussy was standing in front of him, staring at him silently.

In her hand was a large genuine leather briefcase.

"Sig, I'll show you something."

Stussy snapped the briefcase open.

Inside, there was a whole box of neatly stacked Pele banknotes, in great quantities.

"What is this?" Sig exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s a billion Berries,” Stussy replied.

“I know it’s a billion… but why are you suddenly taking the money?” Sig asked in astonishment.

Because Sieg had previously faced a shortfall of tens of billions and needed a large amount of money, even though he was not short of money now, he still couldn't help but pay more attention to money. At this moment, his attention was focused on the briefcase.

"Didn't you already hint at it?" Stussy said quietly.

"If you can't get something for free, then you have to spend money."

She strolled to the window, reached out and swiftly pulled the curtains shut, plunging the entire room into darkness.

Black screen.

In the darkness, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Of course, Sieg's body had long undergone frequent self-modification, and his eyes had long since developed night vision.

The darkness did not blind Sieg.

But his eyes were blinded by something else.

“…”

“…”

Sometimes, a simple straight shot is more effective.

Sieg isn't blind, but for a long time he has subconsciously overlooked some things.

Just like at the beginning of the story, if it weren't for Garp's coercion, he might have continued to live a life of hiding in the mountains of the East Blue.

Once the window paper was broken, a fierce battle, which will be described in 100,000 words, was bound to happen.

After overcoming his initial awkwardness, he gradually began to adapt to the rhythm of the battle.

Many newbies like to talk big and are used to pretending to be experienced.

After overcoming his initial awkwardness, Sieg tried to save face.

"Stusi".

"Ok?"

"I, Sig, have been a force to be reckoned with all my life, and I have never lost a battle, no matter which one I have fought on."

"..."

"In fact, having experienced countless battles, I have long mastered a dragon-slaying technique, but for the sake of all living beings, I do not use it lightly."

"..."

"Actually, I'm super brave..."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I possess a technique for slaying dragons... its name is..."

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

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

On the beach, just after Sieg and Stusi left.

The comical-faced Dragon King was standing next to Violet, urging her to use the power of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit.

"Violet, how can this be called peeping?" The Dragon King said righteously.

"Aren't you Sig's daughter? Sig is drunk now, so as his daughter, you should naturally check on him, like whether he kicked off the covers in his sleep or something?"

"Just make sure he's sleeping in the bedroom on the Dushan."

After being provoked by the Dragon King, Violet finally agreed. She closed her eyes and looked in the direction of the Dushan Ship.

Not long after, her face flushed slightly, and she opened her eyes.

"How do I say it? How do I say it? How do I say it?" The Dragon King eagerly approached.

“Miss Stussy prepared a billion Berries… and then the screen went black.” Violet blushed.

Given her status, it's unlikely that things will turn out well from here on out.

But Violet wasn't an innocent young girl, so she could guess what had happened.
