I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Similar to the Barrier-Barrier Fruit user, the old man with the ability, a Door-Door Fruit user, once they become powerful, can deal with 99% of their enemies with their ability alone.

After disembarking, they spent some time acting discreetly and soon found Gilman and Cloth's mansion.

Within the alternate dimension, all doors and walls are meaningless to Dor.

Like a hero in an RPG game, Dor entered every room of the mansion as if no one else was there, searching for clues everywhere.

Before long, he entered the high-rise room where Sieg had once stayed.

"This room clearly shows signs of being occupied, and judging from the attitudes of the other people in the mansion, someone of considerable status once lived in this room... Something seems amiss."

Dole frowned.

He then followed Kuro and Gilman into a small room.

Within this alternate dimension, one cannot hear any sounds from the outside world, and even when one does see the outside world, it is as if through a green filter.

But Dole had specifically learned to read lip movements, and could guess the gist of a conversation by reading lip movements.

"Actually, I've always had some concerns..." Chloe said with a worried expression.

"Besides Luo, did anyone else secretly see Lord west... Wang Rixiong's face that day? If so, I was in big trouble."

“So what if I saw it? It’s just a face. There are plenty of people who can change their expressions,” Gilman replied.

Inside the mansion, they had long since turned it into an impenetrable fortress, a completely safe haven. Even the most cautious person couldn't possibly remain completely secretive in private.

Chapter 1040 Let's Sign This Contract

"Wang Rixiong... this is indeed related to them..."

Inside the alternate dimension, Dor could not hear any sounds from the outside world, and even his vision seemed to be filtered through a green lens, which hindered his observation and allowed him to only hear the general sounds.

However, for Dole, this was enough.

If I'm not mistaken, the soundproof secret room that Dol discovered earlier was where Sieg lived.

The presence of signs of habitation in that place indicates that even if the homeowner was away, it was only temporarily.

"Wang Rixiong must have gone out unexpectedly, which is why we can't find him anywhere..."

Dole continued to observe within the alternate dimension for a while until the two stopped talking and left, at which point he followed suit.

Immediately afterwards, he left the Shock Department's territory and went to a secluded corner of the Island of All Things where no one was around. Only then did he open the air door and walk out.

Then, he took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed Fleet Admiral Sengoku's number.

Even between the Den Den Mushi (snail phones) inside and outside the alternate dimension, it is impossible to make a call to Sengoku.

"What? You're on Wanwu Island now, and you've discovered traces left by Wang Rixiong?" Zhan Guo was greatly shocked.

As a highly decorated and elderly general, Dorr enjoys considerable freedom of movement in his daily life and has few military duties left.

But Sengoku never expected that Dor would quietly run off to the Island of All Things and bring such news.

After carefully listening to Dor's intelligence report, Sengoku also raised questions:

"So, you haven't met Wang Rixiong in person, nor do you have concrete evidence that he is Sig. The only possibility is that he is Sig, which is a few degrees higher than we discussed in our previous meeting..."

"...Indeed." Dor could only nod.

"Based on the intelligence I have gathered so far, Wang Rixiong is most likely only away temporarily and will return soon."

"By then, I will continue to probe his strengths and weaknesses, and expose his true colors..."

"Dor!" Sengoku interrupted him in a deep voice, somewhat helpless, knowing that he could not change Dor's decision.

"I don't expect to change your mind... but you must promise to do one thing, this is a military order," he said in a deep voice.

"If Wang Rixiong is indeed Sig... you must retreat immediately. Do not attempt to attack him. Report back as soon as you are safe."

"I know."

Dole nodded and hung up the phone.

Sengoku sighed on the other end of the phone.

In fact, at the level of generals, everyone has their own ideas and upholds their own path of justice.

Sengoku gradually got used to it; after all, he had tolerated someone like Garp.

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

After hanging up the phone, Dole continued his operations.

In order to expose Wang Rixiong's true colors, he needs irrefutable evidence that leaves Sengoku with no choice but to believe it.

He would need to continue gathering intelligence on the island for the next few days; he still had a lot to do.

Dor would naturally not risk his life to verify Wang Rixiong's true identity.

"Moria...spent quite a few days on his ship, and it wasn't without its gains," Dol pondered.

"This person has always been hostile to Sieg. Perhaps he can be my pawn to test Sieg's true colors."

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

This is a winter island on the Grand Line where the seasons are always winter.

It's snowing heavily.

The mountains of garbage stretched as far as the eye could see, and a nauseating stench filled the air.

A burly man, as fat as a ball, with dark purple hair and a cylindrical metal plate attached to his chin, sat blankly beside a pile of garbage.

His hair was disheveled, his body was covered in filth and congealed blood, he had prominent dark circles under his eyes, and his face was pale and sickly, looking like a wretched homeless man.

A stray dog ​​walked over, sniffed around him, and then, looking satisfied, lifted one leg and peed on his leg.

"Get lost! Even a dog is bullying me!"

The obese man roared loudly, startling the dog, which ran away. He took a couple of steps after it, and then his stomach started rumbling again.

A group of mischievous children approached from a distance, laughing and throwing stones at Wapol as they passed the garbage heap.

"Never mind, never mind..."

His obese body huddled beside the garbage mountain, and he let out a deep sigh.

How did he end up in this situation?

Not long ago, he was the king of the Drum Kingdom, but after being knocked away by Luffy to some unknown place, he fell from grace and became a vagrant.

It wasn't this bad at first.

Although he was injured by Luffy, he was, after all, a user of the Gluttony Fruit. When he was hungry, he would eat anything, including benches, tables, food plates, etc. As a result, he alerted the Navy and was arrested once. Later, he lived a life of exile, hiding and running away.

Even dogs can bully him now.

"Damn it, if I wasn't afraid of alerting the navy, I would have beaten that stinking dog to death!"

As he thought viciously, he opened his blood-red maw and swallowed the surrounding garbage.

As the user of the Gluttony Fruit, he can eat anything, but the taste of eating garbage is certainly not pleasant.

If they had no other choice, who would want to eat garbage?

This is exactly what Sig saw when he arrived.

"How pitiful."

Sieg stood on the bridge, gazing at Walpo shivering in the garbage heap below.

"Let's go." He looked at Law and Crocus behind him:

"We can't let him go hungry."

Luo Weiwei asked in surprise, "Are you planning to deliver food to this homeless man? Did you come all the way from Wanwu Island just for this?"

Then he saw Sieg turn around and go into a restaurant next door, where he ordered a sumptuous meal.

While enjoying their meal, they continued to observe Valpo shivering in the cold wind through the transparent glass of the restaurant.

His nose and tears were flowing together, as if he was reminiscing about his days as king.

"How pitiful," Sieg continued to sigh.

He showed no sympathy for Walpo; instead, he ate and drank heartily on the sidelines.

Only after he had eaten and drunk his fill did Sieg order a large boxed meal for five people, walk out of the restaurant, and come to the shivering Walpo.

Wahlbo looked up at the uninvited guest wearing sunglasses.

Sieg carried a boxed lunch in one hand and a densely packed business contract in the other.

"Sign this contract with me and become a worker."

work to earn a living?

Wahlbo glanced at the food, swallowed hard, and seemed to wake from a dream.

"I'll sign!" Without even glancing at the contract, he quickly grabbed the pen from Sieg's hand, scribbled his name on it, and then looked expectantly at Sieg as he opened the enormous lunchbox that served five people.

"Thank you, you're such a kind person!"

Wapol drooled with emotion. He opened his blood-red maw, which suddenly became bigger than a person, engulfing the takeout and Sig inside.

Chapter 1041 The World's Strongest Material

"ah------"

Wahlbo opened his blood-red maw, which suddenly stretched to an eerie angle, larger than a person, instantly engulfing the Sirian man and his lunchbox.

"This guy is definitely no good... he's like a venomous snake trying to warm itself in a farmer's arms."

Luo whispered, reaching out to place his hand on the long sword at his waist, the sword Ghost Cry slightly unsheathed.

He could naturally tell whether Wapol did it intentionally or unintentionally.

But after a moment's thought, he put the knife away.

Wapol isn't very powerful, especially now that he's down on his luck. Even stray dogs can poop and pee around him, so he doesn't need to lift a finger.

as predicted.
