Tsukimi

The entire technology exhibition instantly descended into chaos.

The people who were just marveling at the technology here are now fleeing in panic, but all the exits are blocked and they have nowhere to escape.

"Hahaha, it's so easy!"

The pirate known as O'Brien laughed heartily, "Got the goods, now it's time to retreat, but—"

He glanced around the entire exhibition hall, then revealed a cruel smile. "Speaking of which, everyone here is rich, right? Well then, let me make a quick buck!"

"You bastards who don't want to die, hand over your money right now!"

"O'Brien?"

Among the panicked crowd, two people stood out.

One person was extremely tall; standing here, he looked like a small mountain.

The other person next to him was much shorter.

Both of them were covered by cloaks, obscuring their faces.

Of course, it's Jack and Rowe.

They also came here to see the exhibition.

Jack looked at the arrogant O'Brien, his brow furrowing slightly beneath his cloak. "Who is this guy?"

"Don't you guys read the newspapers about the South Blue?"

Luo calmly said, "The infamous pirate of the South Blue, Raging Lion O'Brien, is said to command the largest fleet in the entire South Blue."

"A great pirate?"

"Well, the bounty is around fifty million."

That's certainly a very impressive bounty in the world.

Unfortunately for them, they ran into a brick wall today.

"Should we take care of these guys?"

Luo said, "Isn't it an eyesore?"

"We don't need to lift a finger."

Jack gestured with his chin toward the spiral staircase leading to the second floor, indicating that Law should look in that direction.

Then Luo looked over and saw two familiar figures slowly descending the stairs.

That's true.

Luo chuckled, "One of the strongest pirates in the South Blue versus one of the Strongest in the World, what an exciting clash of titans!"

Jack smirked.

On the stairs.

"What an annoying guy!"

Yamato's plain face, lacking any skill in sculpting facial features, was now marred by furious anger.

She was naturally furious; her rare good mood had been ruined by these guys.

As they were talking, the guards arrived.

A squad of mechanical soldiers suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the pirates.

"Hahahaha! The power of science, huh? Let me see just how amazing it is!"

O'Brien laughed heartily, casually tossing the mechanical soldier in his hand to one of his men. Instantly, his body swelled up, and a mane grew around his neck, transforming him into a lion standing upright.

Raging Lion O'Brien, true to his name, is Zoan Cat-Cat Fruit Devil Fruit User in Cat-Cat Fruit: Lion Form.

Like a whirlwind, amidst the screams of the crowd, he pounced into the ranks of mechanical soldiers, easily tearing them apart. With every move, one mechanical soldier after another was ripped to pieces.

"So weak, so weak, so weak!! Seriously, utterly pathetic!!"

The lion roared.

Really weak.

Sirius was also surprised.

The technical sophistication of these machines is undeniable, especially the one that can both cry and laugh—it's truly astonishing.

However, their materials were not very good, and their weapons were even worse—just ordinary longswords Fire Pistol, which were fine for dealing with ordinary people, but completely useless against creatures like lions.

So why is that?

They were clearly capable of creating mechanical artifacts of this caliber, but why weren't they equipped with powerful weaponry?

I don't understand.

Hahaha! Is that all?

Amidst a pile of still-sparkling limbs and broken bones, the lion roared, "You thought you were so powerful! Well then, I declare this island mine!"

"It's so noisy!"

A figure descended from the sky and kicked the lion in the face.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a huge crater was blasted into the solid ground.

O'Brien lay in the hole, reverting to human form, his face contorted, completely unconscious.

"Snort."

Yamato snorted softly, "The way to deal with guys like this is to strike hard!"

"Huh??"

The people in the hall, who had been in a state of panic, were now dumbfounded.

What is this?

This woman defeated O'Brien with a single kick?

"Captain!! Captain, are you alright?!"

"That despicable woman! How dare she treat the captain like that!!"

"You're finished! Our fleet is anchored off the island! We're going to blow this island to smithereens!"

The pirates roared angrily.

Sirius sighed helplessly. What a bunch of idiots these were.

Sure enough, Yamato frowned, transformed into a gust of wind, and quickly defeated all the pirates.

This was already the extent to Sirius had told her to restrain herself.

Otherwise, this tower would collapse.

"That's amazing!!"

Although the rescued people didn't know what had happened, that didn't stop them from cheering around their saviors.

"Hmph!"

Yamato his hands on his hips, looking smug and self-satisfied.

Sirius chuckled, just like a child.

"Miss!"

Just then, a middle-aged man stumbled in. He squeezed in front of Yamato, bowing repeatedly, "Thank you so much for your help. Dr. Tsukimi wants to see you to express his gratitude. Do you have time?"

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

Dr. Tsukimi, the Chief Scientist who single-handedly created this city and this island!

"Can."

Sirius leaped up and landed beside Yamato, laughing as he spoke.

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then realized that Sirius was Yamato's partner, Yamato cast an inquiring look at Yamato.

Yamato replied with a grin, "Nishiru—his meaning is my meaning."

"Understood, please follow me."

The middle-aged man picked up the robot that had just been hijacked and led the way.

Sirius looked at Jack and Law.

They both shook their heads.

Not interested.

Sirius nodded, then followed Yamato and the middle-aged man out of the tower, got into a car, and sped through the city.

The car drove for quite a while before stopping outside a courtyard.

"Dr. Tsukimi is waiting for you inside."

The man respectfully helped Sirius and his companion out of the car, and also put the robot down.

Sirius surveyed the courtyard; its style was somewhat similar to that of Wano Country.

Looking around, it was very secluded, located in the middle of a row of tall buildings, yet it still had enough natural light, making it clear that it was something special.

Sirius pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in. Yamato greeted him with a smile, "Oh! We've come to visit."

"Please come in, both guests."

An old man was already waiting for them in the courtyard.

He had a smiling, kind face, but his hair had long since fallen out. He was wearing a hooded gown and slippers.

He looks very old; his eyes are squinted into slits.

He was accompanied by several robots.

"Doctor!! I thought I'd never see you again! Waaaaah!"

The robot that came with Sirius cried and threw itself into the old man's arms.

"Okay, okay, it's alright now."

The old man patted the robot's head, as if coaxing a child, then looked up and said, "Please come in, guests."

Sirius was completely unceremonious and went straight in.

Sure enough, this doctor is the same doctor from the original work.
