I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

On the bandit side, Wufa, as the user of the Memory Fruit, seemed to know some inside information, and he was the first to step forward and respond.

Then came Dole.

He stepped forward, waved, and opened a large door, revealing the ruins of Roguetown under the cover of night.

Moonlight shone on the ruins, and the floodwaters had receded.

..........

"The battle of the Infinite Land has come to an end."

The blue and white cat lay on the table in the research institute's conference room, stretched out its leg, licked its fur, and casually asked:

"So, Sigma is gone, right?"

"Who are you cursing?" Sig pinched the blue and white cat's round face, but his face showed undisguised fatigue.

This was the second day after the Battle of the Infinite Lands, and Sig had already rested.

The mental exhaustion and pain accumulated over the previous 38 years almost overwhelmed him.

He was fighting Dracula.

But once the shadow clone dissipates, he himself is left with pain and exhaustion.

At the same time, memories and experiences accumulated over many years will return to the body, but physical training will not be synchronized.

Telekinesis is a superpower generated from Dracula's physical body, so it cannot be inherited. Moreover, after a series of battles, Dracula had already exhausted his telekinesis before he vanished.

A flood of memories from 38 years ago surged forth, and he was still sorting through Dracula's memories.

He addressed Vegapunk and the others in front of him:

"I've sorted out Dracula's memories."

"After he first saw me in Loguetown, he regained some of his senses."

"But it wasn't until he returned to Loguetown, with the help of Wufa, a user of the Memory-Memory Fruit, that his memories flashed back, and he remembered his past experiences, briefly regaining consciousness."

"During his brief period of lucidity, he decided to have his hazy memories of the past ten years removed, and before doing so, he left behind a third suicide note."

“I spoke with Wufa yesterday. Over the past ten years, he has occasionally had brief periods of lucidity. He has undergone this kind of amnesia more than once, but this is the longest one yet.”

"Of course. Memories can't cure the root cause; it can only keep him conscious for a short time, but it can't cure his madness at its core."

Sieg recalled Dracula's emotions in the final battle:

"He decided to take his final bow in his last moments of lucidity, ending his own life. So he was already prepared to die before that great battle."

Sieg waved the note in his hand and began to read it.

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

Do you want to know why I chose to erase my memories of the last ten years, why I became mentally unstable during those ten years, and what happened during the war of the fifty-six emperors of the infinite land ten years ago?

All I want to say is that those who understand, understand; those who don't, I won't explain further. After all, it's enough for you to know; ponder it carefully. Saying anything won't benefit either of us... The rest? I forgot.

Also, if you could return to the world of One Piece...

Do not go to the infinite land!

Do not go to the infinite land!

Do not go to the infinite land!

If you do go, never try to board a space pirate's spaceship out of curiosity!

Let's explore the area ahead in our next life!

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

"Therefore, Dracula's amnesia might be related to the Infinite Land or space pirates..."

As Sieg finished speaking, he noticed that Vegapunk seemed a little distracted.

"PhD?"

Vegapunk finally came to his senses, his eyes wide with surprise as he glanced at the note in Sieg's hand.

"I think I know the truth." Vegapunk sighed softly.

"Sigma encountered an enemy that would appear 500 years in advance."

Vegapunk seemed somewhat dazed, muttering to himself:

"I have seen things that are absolutely unbelievable to humankind."

"I have witnessed warships ablaze on the boundless earth."

"I have seen great stars fall and collapse, and indescribable terrors murmur and revive in the darkness."

"I have witnessed galaxies crumble and the very foundations of the universe be obliterated..."

Sig was taken aback.

He said the same thing, as Vegapunk from the One Piece world also said... and now we're actually hearing it from Vegapunk in this world again.

Vegapunk paused for a moment before continuing:

"This is Dracula, or rather, something you've said before."

"Regarding the great enemy 500 years from now, it's exactly the same as what Dracula said in his will."

"Knowing too much is not good for either of us..."

The two fell silent at the same time.

"So, Dracula's last words about 'walking through minefields' and 'the end of the road' must mean this..."

“Abandoning the bottom line to become Sigma, reaching the infinite land and boarding the spaceship... this is what he considers a minefield.”

Sig thought to himself.

Dracula, of course, could not be certain whether Sig, as the original form, would travel here.

So, before Sieg arrived, he was simply living his life his own way; the minefield incident came later.

Erasing memories... is about cutting off information in that area to prevent its impact from spreading to the body.

Sieg paused for a moment, then changed the subject:

"So, Doctor, how's your research project going?"

At this point, Vegapunk got excited. He stroked the blue and white cat on the table and said:

"The real ability of the so-called artificial Time Fruit should be to cross timelines, or to travel through time and space, or to travel through worlds."

The blue and white cat looked completely bewildered.

"It sounds like... I'm so strong!" It licked its fur and suddenly became proud.

Vegapunk continued, "But with its abilities alone, it shouldn't be able to accurately travel to this world line, which is the world line where Dracula is located."

"In other words, your time travel was also interfered with by another kind of ability related to space and time."

"This ability allowed you to choose the world line where Dracula is from among the many complex world lines... Do you have any clues, Sigurd?"

“…There really is.” Sieg replied:

"I guess this counts as my Devil Fruit ability."

The power of cause and effect allows him to travel through time, be reborn in different dimensions, change the course of world events, and even cross worlds.

But by now, Dracula's karma has been resolved.

Now that we know the timeline travel wasn't due to the influence of Dol, the Door-Door Fruit user... things will be much easier.

There are 3 points of causal power remaining. According to Vegapunk's theory, as long as Sig and the Blue and White Cat travel through time again and activate the [First Hero] ability at the same time, Sig can return to the original world.

“I have one request: let me observe the process of traversing the world whenever you decide to leave.” Vegapunk was clearly quite interested, his excitement almost impossible to conceal.

"Well... there's no rush."

Sieg smiled slightly.

Since he was already here, and knew that returning wouldn't be an obstacle, he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

"What about the telekinetic potion?" Sig asked again.

Vegapunk said:

"The first artificial telekinetic agent has been successfully manufactured, but it will take more time to mass-produce it."

Vegapunk picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed the number. A few minutes later, a researcher delivered a small vial of the potion.

The liquid in the glass bottle was strangely black and white, with a snow-white upper layer and a jet-black lower layer, with obvious stratification between the two colors. At first glance, it looked like some kind of cocktail.

"If you have the aptitude, drinking the potion will activate your mental power, making you a telekinetic user..." Vegapunk said.

"This shouldn't be a problem for you, since Dracula has already proven the same thing once."

Sieg picked up the potion in his hand, thought for a moment, and then tilted his head back to drink it.

About half an hour later, he felt a jolt of energy, and his mind became much clearer, as if he had slept soundly until dawn, and he was full of energy.

Vegapunk showed a slight look of surprise, as if he had noticed something different about Sieg.

He filled a glass on the table with water and pushed it in front of Sieg:

"Try using your consciousness to lift this cup from a distance."

Sieg's heart stirred slightly, and he looked up at the water glass on the table.

The next second, the cup floated steadily up under the influence of an invisible force, without spilling a drop of water or causing a ripple.

That wasn't all. Immediately afterward, the water in the cup transformed into a trickle, quickly flying out of the cup. First, it split into countless droplets, then the droplets gathered together, forming a line of text in the air.

Have you got a meal yet?

Vegapunk was taken aback and gave Sieg a deep look.

"It seems that although you did not inherit Sigma's telekinesis, you did inherit his experience and skills in manipulating telekinesis. All of this seems to have come naturally to you, right?"

"Given time, once my telekinetic potion is mass-produced, your telekinetic abilities may gradually increase to a level equivalent to Sigma's."

Sieg put down his water glass and smiled.

Telekinesis is a similar ability to Tatsumaki, Fubuki, Psykos, and others in the One-Punch Man universe.
