The Supreme Great Demoness

In another stretch of the sea, Buckingham Stussy, having set sail not long ago, successfully infiltrated numerous research institutes and laboratories by leveraging her stunning appearance and her identity as a researcher.

Time and again, she pilfered and plundered valuables from these facilities, earning herself the moniker "Science Bandit" in the underworld.

A multitude of enraged scientists and their shadowy financiers issued high-value bounties in the dark world to hunt down this wretched woman.

Feeling the mounting pressure, Stussy saw the news and intelligence regarding the Rocks Pirates and Elysium Island, and she decisively chose to head to Elysium Island to lie low.

She wanted to see if there was an opportunity to infiltrate the Rocks Pirates.

If she could secure the protection of the world's strongest pirate crew, she could plunder whatever she pleased in the future.

She wouldn't even have to worry about retaliation!

Most importantly, she felt that the Great Demon Lord Houka was quite handsome, and his strength was formidable as well!

Meanwhile, the jewelry collector Captain John, who had just entered the New World, couldn't even get his hands on a permanent log pose for Elysium Island.

He had no choice but to continue his path of pillaging, following the guidance of his log pose, forging ahead, and continuing to build his reputation.

At this time, Byrnndi World was still making waves in the Paradise of the Grand Line.

Relying on the power of his formidable More-More Fruit, his fame grew increasingly widespread.

Even the World Government had begun to take notice of this newcomer.

In particular, the historical records of the World Government mentioned a super-powered individual who had once possessed the More-More Fruit.

This prompted the World Government to plan to nip this arrogant pirate in the bud before he could fully develop, quietly dispatching CP agents to infiltrate the Walder Pirates.

Upon seeing the various news reports about the Rocks Pirates, Byrnndi World couldn't wait to enter the New World to prove his own strength!

So what if they were the world's strongest pirate crew? Sooner or later, he would blow them to smithereens with a single cannon blast!

Even the World Government would be destroyed by his own hand.

He was the strongest pirate!

At this moment, the increasingly inflated Byrnndi World was even more arrogant than the future Iron-Headed Kid.

If Rocks dared to rob the Heavenly Tribute, then he, Byrnndi World, certainly dared to do the same!

His title of "World Destroyer" was stronger and more imposing than Rocks' title of "Overlord of the New World"!

Atop the Skull Castle on Elysium Island.

Houka's room had been submerged by a constant stream of love letters.

Sambel, that honest soul, was very diligent in helping Houka receive all sorts of mail, piling them high inside Houka's room.

"Tsk, tsk. Who would have thought that I, rather than Shakky, that succubus of the Great Suppression Era, would become the world's male succubus first."

Looking at the mountain of letters, Houka spoke with a hint of disdain, but the smile in his eyes was impossible to suppress.

He had already become the number one star of the pirate world, with fame even greater than that of Rocks.

Now, let alone Shiki and Xiong being jealous of Houka, even Rocks was feeling quite resentful.

All his thunder had been stolen by Houka!

Was being handsome really that amazing?

This was a world where strength reigned supreme!

"Vice-Captain, the human women of the entire world are captivated by you now!"

"I heard that in the dark world, a female Celestial Dragon has offered a bounty of 2 billion Beli to capture you alive!"

Sambel grinned foolishly as he handed over a few candid photos of Houka that were circulating wildly.

In the photos, Houka was dressed in a white robe, draped in a White Wolf Cloak, and floating in mid-air.

His silver hair, set off by the crescent moon mark on his forehead, appeared both strikingly handsome and aloof.

Was this not the living image of Sesshomaru?

Another photo showed Houka in a red aristocratic outfit, brandishing devilish bat wings, embodying the elegant and dashing air of a vampire noble.

These two vastly different styles caused noble beauties of all tastes to fall for Houka's looks.

"This candid photography is quite good. You deserve a reward!"

Honestly, even Houka was impressed by his own handsomeness in the photos.

He hadn't expected the Moon-Moon Fruit and the Vampire Fruit to have such an effect on his appearance.

"BOOM!!"

"Houka, get to training!"

"Otherwise, you're going to be snatched away by a female Celestial Dragon to be a gigolo!"

The half-open door to Houka's room was kicked off its hinges by Rocks, slamming into the mountain of letters and sending countless envelopes scattering into the air.

Rocks dragged Houka away without a second thought, refusing to let this spotlight-stealing brat "wallow" in love letters.

When he first learned that four female Celestial Dragons had joined forces to offer a bounty of 4 billion Beli for the live capture of Houka, Rocks felt both jealous and worried.

Houka's bounty in the dark underworld had already surpassed his own.

Rocks was incredibly displeased by this!

But he was even more concerned that such an exorbitant bounty would drive countless pirates and bounty hunters to target Houka.

Therefore, Houka had to become stronger and possess greater self-preservation capabilities!

As Houka was forcibly dragged to the training grounds by Rocks, Golden Lion Shiki, Silver Axe, and Xiong all looked at him as if he were a treasure.

"Gahahaha! 4 billion Beli! Houka, you're worth 4 billion Beli now!!"

Golden Lion Shiki floated over to Houka's side, his large hands trembling as he reached out toward Houka's body.

If he could capture Houka alive and sell him to those crazy female Celestial Dragons, he would be rich instantly.

"Tsk tsk, Houka, I'm truly afraid I won't be able to stop myself from making a move on you!"

A flicker of greed and fanaticism flashed in the eyes behind Silver Axe's sunglasses.

Who could have imagined that this pretty boy, Houka, would have a bounty higher than that of Rocks, the World's Worst Pirate.

It was nearly ten times his own.

One had to admit, those female Celestial Dragons were truly wealthy!

"With those female Celestial Dragons acting so recklessly, combined with the hype from the newspapers, your fame has skyrocketed, and even more female pirates are flocking to Elysium Island."

Whitebeard Newgate looked at the newspaper, feeling as though the world had become somewhat surreal.

How had Houka's fame suddenly exploded like this!

He suspected that those candid photos of Houka were intentionally allowed by Houka himself for the reporters and paparazzi to capture.

Otherwise, how could they be so stunning and perfect, even more handsome than those celebrities.

"Get lost!!"

Houka kicked Golden Lion Shiki away as he tried to get handsy.

Houka had no idea his photos would become such a sensation; he had only been cosplaying as Sesshomaru and a vampire aristocrat, just indulging in his own vanity.

Who knew that before the Great Pirate Era, this world was an era of great repression.

No wonder the Kuja Pirates would later become a world-renowned celebrity pirate crew, and Shakky could become the supreme succubus who brought the world economy to a standstill for a week.

This era was truly one of great boredom and repression!

Houka had only shown a glimpse of himself, yet he was already at the pinnacle of this repressed era.

"Houka, I heard your constitution is the only one in the world capable of withstanding multiple Devil Fruit abilities."

"If I were to have children with you, would every child inherit that constitution capable of handling multiple fruits?"

Charlotte Linlin looked at Houka with gleaming eyes. At this moment, she realized that her good friend Houka was not only powerful and capable of predicting the future, but also possessed a mutated constitution that could withstand multiple Devil Fruit abilities.

If Houka's multi-fruit mutated constitution were combined with her own Steel Balloon mutated constitution, she wondered what kind of monstrous offspring they might produce.

Thinking of this, Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but drool...
