On the Grand Line, on an unnamed island, a weary man and woman, panting heavily, seemed to be hiding from something.

"Mom, I don't want to run away anymore. I'd rather fight to the death."

Covered in wounds, Weevil's signature beard was gone, and a scar stretched from his right cheek to his chest, almost splitting him in two, yet he was still alive.

Beside him, ISS Bakkin, looking terrified, jumped up and slapped Weevil upon hearing his words. He then pulled Weevil away quickly, saying, "You stupid son, if you're going to fight, you need to have the same strength. You're no match for him now."

"I'm sorry, Mom. It's all Weevil's fault for being so useless!"

Sniffling, Weevil looked like a fool, filled with self-reproach.

"It's not your fault, that old monster is too strong." Looking around, ISS Bakkin was already cursing in her heart, "You're useless. If I didn't need to protect you, I would have killed you, you idiot, long ago."

"Mom, what should I do now?"

Weevil was completely unaware of the evil thoughts in Bakkin's heart; he still thought his mother just didn't want him to die.

"We can't fight them, so we can only hide. The monster hasn't been chasing us these past few days, so we should be safe now!"

Tears well up every time I get up. I still remember a few days ago when she took Weevil to search for treasure, but they didn't find the treasure and almost lost their lives. If they hadn't run fast, they would all be corpses now.

The one who terrified ISS Bakkin so much was none other than the Red the Aloof, Patrick Redfield.

"Let's find another place to hide."

"I'll listen to my mom!"

With his intellectual disability, Weevil was completely obedient to ISS Bakkin, and the two subsequently changed locations and disappeared on the island.

Several hours later, a red light stopped in the sky above the island.

He had white hair, with two braids hanging down his shoulders. He wore a plum-red shirt and blood-red trousers, with a large blood-red cloak draped over his back. He held a bat-handled umbrella in his hand and was rather tall and thin.

Beside this sinister man was a raccoon dog.

"Rick, should we continue the pursuit?"

Floating beside Red Count, the tanuki spoke.

"Pado, are you tired?"

Turning his head, the Count Red gazed intently at the raccoon dog, his Red Count eyes fixed on it.

"I'm not tired, as long as I can help Rick." Pado smiled sweetly.

"Let's rest on this island first, then go find the other Shichibukai, and then have some fun with the Four Emperors."

A smile appeared on Redfield's face, but his eyes held a cold glint. In the past few days, he had come to understand a bit about this disconnected world. Roger and Golden Lion were both dead, and even Whitebeard was no exception.

The World Government and the Navy still dominate the world, but the pirate forces have changed a lot. For example, there are now the so-called Four Emperors and the so-called Shichibukai Warlords of the Sea. It seems that the ones he's been chasing these days are the so-called Shichibukai.

After obtaining the Vampire Fruit, Redfield has returned to his prime, and he can maintain this state as long as he drinks pure blood once a month.

For decades while Impel Down, he had constantly wondered: if he had possessed power back then, would he have been captured by the Navy?

So his first thought after escaping Impel Down was to regain his youth. Now that he has regained his youth, he wants to establish a power base, and the best way to do that is to make some strong people submit to him.

The Shichibukai just happened to fit Redfield's idea, so he planned to recruit them, then go to the New World to become one of the Four Emperors Shichibukai, and finally settle accounts with the Navy.

After that, there is a special island in the Grand Line Clockwork Island, which is famous for being bound together by a giant clockwork.

This is the territory of Kuma, one of the Shichibukai Big Bear King of the Sea. Big Bear King returned here after the Century War.

However, the Big Bear King recently decided to leave this place because he felt that this island was not suitable for his status. After discussing it with his subordinates, Sweet Queen, Skunk, and Brod, the group decided to leave.

"Captain, your reputation is greater than ever after the Century War."

At the highest point of Clockwork Island, amidst a luxurious cluster of buildings, a beautiful woman wearing a seductive short skirt, an orange-red bodice, and long, flowing golden hair offered her congratulations to the Big Bear King, who sat at the head of the table.

Sweet Queen, a trusted subordinate of Big Bear King, is Special Paramecia Devil Fruit User.

"Haha, of course! The captain is now Shichibukai, and he even injured the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff during the Century Battle."

Below, a short man who looked like a ferret raised his head with a grin.

"Alright, my injuries have healed. Let's pack up and leave this run-down island."

Firstly, after the Century War, the Big Bear King realized the terror of the world's top monsters, especially the man's final explosion, which still haunts the Big Bear King.

If it weren't for my strong defenses, I might have already died in Marineford.

"We arrived just in time; we almost made a wasted trip."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out in the hall.

Who is it?

Everyone looked behind them.

At the head of the table, the Big Bear King looked at the figure that had appeared in the hall without warning, and his originally calm expression changed drastically.

"Where did this scoundrel come from? Does he even know where he is?"

The Skunk was somewhat shocked because the strange man in question was actually floating in mid-air.

"The legendary pirate, the Red the Aloof Patrick Redfield."

In contrast to the Skunk's ignorance, Sweet Queen had seen it in the news some time ago, around the time the Summit War ended.

Emerald red eyes narrowed, and without a sound, the Skunk collapsed to the ground, its eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth.

"Damn it, what did you do to the Skunk?"

Seeing the Skunk inexplicably collapse, the others immediately charged towards Redfield.

One glance, then another; the only ones Backslide conscious in the entire hall were the Sweet Queen, who kept backing away, and the taut Big Bear King.

"Conqueror's Haki".

His scalp tingled; the Big Bear King was all too familiar with this kind of fluctuation, having experienced it more than once during the Century War.

"I don't believe I've ever offended Senior Crimson Red the Aloof One!"

Very discreetly, the Big Bear King stood up, clenching his fists, his heart pounding in his chest.

"You're not bad, but your men are trash."

Redfield shifted his body to the side and nodded in satisfaction at the Big Bear King. Although his strength was a little lacking, it was just enough.

"I'll give you two choices: submit or die."

With an imposing and domineering air, Redfield looked down at the Big Bear King from his high position, brooking no argument.

With a grim expression, the Big Bear King's body began to swell, eventually turning into steel.

"If you want me to submit, then you'll have to see what you're capable of."

Like a cannonball, the Big Bear King appeared in front of Redfield in an instant, his right fist glowing red as it rubbed against the air.

"Swish"

With a casual wave of his umbrella, the Big Bear King was sent flying like a cannonball, accompanied by a shockwave.

Vanished without a trace, and with several booming sounds outside, just as Sweet Queen was about to escape, a figure lay at her feet—it was the Big Bear King.

However, the Big Bear King was in a sorry state at this moment, with a bloody wound on his chest and his face completely pale.

Only a few seconds?

Swallowing hard, the Sweet Queen knelt on the ground without a second thought.

"I am willing to submit."

Shivering, Sweet Queen could feel a gaze upon her; she didn't know when Redfield had taken the throne of the Big Bear King.

Too weak.

"I'm Devil Fruit User. Give me a chance and I'll definitely become stronger. Don't kill me."

Her face paled, and the Sweet Queen could no longer maintain her composure; saving her life was the priority.
