I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

With a muffled thud, the stone struck a burly man who had drawn a gun squarely on the forehead, causing a burst of blood to erupt and the man to fall backward, losing consciousness.

Damn it!

Just as the others were about to make their move, they felt a sharp pain in their hands. A stone had struck their wrists, and in pain, the knives fell to the ground one after another.

Sieg chuckled and, before the burly men could react, quickly picked up a pistol from the ground, pointing its dark barrel at them.

In the blink of an eye, Sieg pointed his gun at several burly men, clearly having subdued them.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

The Fat Tiger Card gave Sigurd considerable physical strength, while the Nobita Card gave him a high accuracy rate.

A heavy stone can hit a person squarely on the head and knock them unconscious instantly.

If it weren't for Nobita's innate ability of "non-lethal marksmanship," Sig suspected that this stone strike could have blown someone's head off.

Sieg was also a little excited.

After collecting both the Fat Tiger Card and the Nobita Card, Sig was able to deal with the human traffickers with surprising ease.

With these two elementary school cards, Sieg is already a strong player among elementary school students and is qualified to reach the pinnacle of elementary school level.

Sieg thought this to himself, but a cold smile appeared on his face.

We must not be complacent; we must continue to work hard to become stronger!

Thinking of this, Sieg pointed his gun at the group of burly men and said coldly:

"Lend me some money."

The burly men exchanged glances, their Adam's apples bobbing, and then they took out money from their pockets.

"Wait... I can borrow your knives and pistols for a couple of days too," Sig quickly added upon seeing this.

"Okay, okay..."

Several burly men quickly did as instructed.

Finally, Sieg's gaze fell on the unconscious man lying on the ground.

"You guys, wake him up."

"What? He's still alive?"

The burly men were stunned for a moment, but then they had no choice but to do as they were told, slapping the unconscious man on the ground awake.

When the unconscious man on the ground woke up, he saw a fierce-looking face.

“Borrow money.” Sig coldly uttered these two words.

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

A moment later.

Sig stood in the alley, watching the little girl who had finally calmed down.

"Thank you for your help, uncle." The little girl was very polite, and despite having several bruises and abrasions on her body, she didn't forget to express her gratitude.

Sig looked at the little girl without saying a word, lost in thought.

He hadn't realized it when they first met, but now, in broad daylight, and after hearing what those burly men had said, Sieg finally understood the little girl's identity.

Ain, a future Marine and the prized disciple of Admiral Zephyr, is a user of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit.

In a way, Aion and Sieg have quite a history now.

Sig once created a "Top 10 Devil Fruit Ranking" using a small online forum.

The tenth ranked item is Aion's Regression Fruit.

Users of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit can emit pale purple flames. These flames have no temperature or lethality, but when they strike a person or any other creature, time will rewind by twelve years.

So the pit of Sieg's grave was struck by the flames, instantly reverting to the state of a flat piece of land twelve years ago.

Why didn't you use the power of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit to retaliate just now?

Sieg asked:

"Didn't you use your abilities on me without any mercy last night in the cemetery?"

"With your Devil Fruit ability, dealing with those big men should be a piece of cake."

Chapter 335 The Power of the Rewind Fruit

"The fruit of regression?"

Ain looked a little confused, but still shook her head.

“I don’t want to use that power.” Ain’s face was somewhat somber, as if she had remembered something sad.

"And last night... I just mistakenly thought that you were a ghost or a phantom, so I used that power. I'm very sorry."

Ain quickly bowed and apologized, her eyes welling up with tears again.

Last night doesn't count; even though we're in an alley now, it's broad daylight.

“...Call me brother,” Sig said helplessly.

KING is actually 29 years old, but because he looks so fierce, it would be believable if he looked to be in his thirties.

However, Sieg did understand.

Ain doesn't seem to know that her Devil Fruit is called the Rewind Fruit, so she probably rarely uses the power of her Devil Fruit.

"Never mind, this has nothing to do with me."

"Let me explain what happened last night... I was knocked unconscious by some bad guys and forced into a grave... They were the same kind of bad guys as those from earlier, do you understand?"

Seeing that Ain nodded, Sieg breathed a slight sigh of relief and tentatively asked:

"By the way... do you know the name of the person who left my grave last night? I think I left something near that grave."

"...have no idea."

Seeing this, Sieg finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to walk away.

"Uncle, wait for me... I don't want to be here alone."

When Ain saw Sieg about to leave, she seemed to be trying to catch up quickly, but after only a few steps, she fell to the ground, seemingly due to her injuries.

Sieg paused, turned around, and sighed softly.

.........

A moment later, Sieg brought Ian to a clinic in town.

"So many bruises and scrapes... those guys really went all out on Ain."

The doctor applied ointment to Ain and sighed.

The town wasn't big, and the doctor seemed to know Ain.

After I explained what had happened to the doctor, his expression softened considerably, and he started talking more:

"Little Ain's parents died at the hands of pirates a few years ago. If he had been kidnapped by human traffickers, there would have been no way to help him. We really have to thank this gentleman..."

The doctor seemed a bit talkative, and started rambling on and on to himself.

“Brubrub…”

Just then, the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) on the counter rang. The doctor put down the ointment in his hand, listened for a few minutes, and his expression changed slightly.

"I'm sorry, I had to make a house call. The old lady at the village entrance has had a flare-up of her chronic headaches... but she's over ninety years old these days..."

"Aion's injuries are all superficial; just keep applying the ointment..."

The doctor spoke rapidly, and before Sieg and the others could react, he had already grabbed his medical kit and run outside.

Only Sig and Ian remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"What a hassle."

Sig muttered to himself, then used the Luffy card once, quickly conjuring up a doctor's spirit, and related knowledge flooded into his mind.

After treating Ain's wounds, Sieg casually asked a few questions:

"By the way, why are you unwilling to use the Rewind-Rewind Fruit's power? It is indeed an extremely powerful Devil Fruit..."

Ain's eyes dimmed slightly: "People say this is the power of a demon... The first time I used this power, I accidentally touched the flames to my neighbor's pigeons."

“Then the pigeon just disappeared…” There was a hint of fear in Ain’s eyes: “So I don’t want to use this strange power on other people.”

Sieg paused slightly.

Is this why Ian doesn't use her abilities to fight against the human traffickers?

The power of the Reversal Fruit is the ability to turn back time by 12 years.

So, the pigeon was obviously less than 12 years old, so when Ain touched it, it was essentially killed instantly.

This is indeed a very unreasonable Devil Fruit.

As a result, this became a psychological trauma for the child, leading him to decide to stop using his abilities.

Sieg glanced at Ain and sighed inwardly.

After he created the top ten Devil Fruit rankings, the Devil Fruits on the list have become well-known star fruits.

And it was clearly because of this that human traffickers took a liking to Ain's Rewind Fruit ability.

Speaking of which, this is related to Sieg.

Ain has no parents and has not yet joined the Navy, so she has no one to rely on.

If left unchecked, even if we repel the human traffickers this time, other gangs, pirates, and so on will come after us next time, all vying for the power of the Rewind Fruit.

Due to plot changes, Ain might not survive long enough to join the Navy; she might become a slave first...

"Doing good deeds should help improve the compatibility of character cards like KING and Nobita, right?"

Sig made a decision in his mind.

“Ain, do you know where the old lady’s house at the village entrance that the doctor mentioned is?” Sig asked.
