The Box Garden World

Dimon: "..."

Lycaon: "..."

Ship Zuizui: "..."

Although this new kid is a bit abstract, it should be similar to the ability to create clones.

Dimon asked curiously, "What special effects does this box have?"

"Master, this is called a 'Jack-in-the-Box.' Its effect is to scare people. If you get frightened, you'll be locked up in the box."

The Joker head stood smugly with his hands on his hips, though he didn't have a waist; the part below his head consisted only of springs.

Upon hearing this, Dimon seemed to ponder, realizing that the ability required the target to possess a certain emotion to be activated.

He thought of Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit; Charlotte Linlin had a technique that allowed her to use the fruit's power to steal other people's souls.

One of the conditions for activating this ability is that the target is filled with fear. As long as there is even a trace of fear, the soul will be instantly extracted, making it a rather domineering ability.

The Chaos's Jack-in-the-Box is roughly the same; once a person is frightened by the Joker that pops out of the box, they are forcibly pulled into the box.

"Besides that, what other interesting abilities do you have?"

"There are so many, Master, please let me tell you slowly."

Chaos is like a child eager to show off, impatiently displaying his exquisite collection.

Dimon sensed that this guy was going to talk for a long time, so he reached out to stop him.

"Stop, why don't you stay on this ship for now and let it showcase your 'Box Garden' in a more direct way?"

"Yes, my respected master."

Chaos first dispersed the boxes of clones he had conjured, then his main body transformed into a streak of light and crashed violently into the ship's deck.

Just as it was about to merge with the Ship Zuizui, its movements suddenly stopped, and it abruptly reverted to Jack-in-the-Box.

"What's wrong?" Ship Zuizui asked hurriedly.

"Pah, I just remembered I have something in my mouth."

The Joker opened its mouth and spat out a tiny object, no bigger than half a fingernail.

"Huh?"

Dimon lowered his gaze, and Lycaon bent down to pick it up and hand it to him.

Upon closer inspection, this thing appears to be a small black square with some etched circuit traces on its surface.

This is clearly a technological creation.

"Chip?"

Dimon instinctively thought of chips, and then of the Celestial Dragons.

Every Celestial Dragons has a chip implanted in their body. It serves as a symbol of identity and also has multiple functions, such as positioning.

Only by relinquishing their Celestial Dragons identity, or after death, can these chips be retrieved by the World Government.

In the original storyline, when Doflamingo's family abandoned their Celestial Dragons status and chose to live in the mortal realm, the chips inside their bodies were retrieved.

Although he had never actually seen it before, the moment Dimon saw this thing, he immediately thought of the "Celestial Dragons chip".

How did you get this on you?

"Someone slipped it into my possession when I was still a fruit."

Chaos's answer was as expected, Dimon couldn't help but chuckle, guessing that it must be Saint Saturn's doing.

They want to use this tracking device to track their Seven Deadly Sins and then conveniently find their hideout?

Unfortunately, the Seven Deadly Sins don't have a stronghold, at least not yet.

As he murmured to himself, Dimon gently pinched the chip with his fingers, turning it into powder.

"Alright, you can continue."

"Yes, Master."

Chaos transformed into a streak of light once more and disappeared into the Wave-Breaking Warrior, successfully taking up residence within the ship's hull.

The next moment, a strange cry came from the Ship Zuizui; it was Chaos's voice.

"Hey, who are you? Why is there another person here...?"

"I am the master, you idiot!"

Chapter 103 The Box Garden World

Two different sounds came from the same mouth, which was different from what Dimon had previously guessed.

Chaos's will was not completely suppressed; he and Ship Zuizui coexisted, seemingly without distinction as to who was in control.

If we have to say who is stronger, then the original owner Ship Zuizui, is stronger.

Dimon rubbed his temples and said:

"Stop arguing."

"Master, I have now suppressed this stinky box. I will now demonstrate the power of 'Box Garden' to you."

Dimon nodded slightly, awaiting the demonstration.

An astonishing scene soon unfolded: the space around the Wave-Breaking Warrior began to fold, forming a visible wall of spatial distortion that sealed the entire ship inside, creating a transparent box.

Standing in the Box Garden, Dimon looked up at the sky and noticed that the nearby clouds seemed to be growing huge.

No, to be precise, he is getting smaller.

Is it a visual illusion?

The Ship Zuizui appeared on the mast, its corners involuntarily turning upwards.

"It really has shrunk, Master. You'll understand once you leave the space above the Box Garden and go outside."

Dimon nodded, moved swiftly, and used Geppo to leave the area of Box Garden above the ship.

As it ascends, it seems that at some point it crosses the boundary, and the white clouds in the field of vision return to their original size.

He looked down and saw that the Wave-Breaking Warrior had shrunk to the size of a figurine and was placed in a barely visible transparent box, like a highly transparent glass box. If one did not know this beforehand, it would be quite difficult to spot.

"Interesting, so this is Box Garden? It's a bit like a landscape box."

Dimon reached out and grasped the Box Garden in his palm, casting his gaze upon its contents. From his perspective, everything inside appeared no different from usual, only smaller.

"If the enemy invades, must they use the entrance above?"

"The entrance to the Box Garden isn't fixed; it can be at the top or in a corner."

The sound of the Ship Zuizui came from inside the Box Garden. This situation is different from the Storyboard Space, where even sound cannot be transmitted in a space Storyboard Lockdown.

"Then what about an external attack?" Dimon asked again.

"The attack will penetrate the Box Garden."

Upon hearing this, Dimon immediately flicked his finger and tried it himself.

The air he ejected struck the boundary of the Box Garden like a bullet, but strangely escaped from the other side.

Upon seeing this, Dimon immediately realized that space had been folded. Although the existence of the Box Garden could still be seen with the naked eye, appearing as a square box, the space inside had actually been distorted, and ordinary attacks could not reach the interior of the Box Garden.

As expected of Awakening ability, without extremely powerful Haki, one would be completely helpless in this situation.

Alternatively, the attacker must also possess the same spatial abilities, such as the Storyboard Fruit, Door-Door Fruit, or Mirror-Mirror Fruit.

Even so, it's not guaranteed that they can infiltrate the Box Garden.

After all, this is just one layer of space folding in the Box Garden. Theoretically, as long as the Ship Zuizui has enough strength to support it, it can stack up layers of space like a shell, hiding in the deepest part.

"How do you maintain this kind of Box Garden consumption?" Dimon then pressed for details.

"If it's a single layer of space, it can be maintained normally; but the consumption will increase exponentially as it's layered on top of it."

It conforms to the common sense of Devil Fruits. Theory is still theory. Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit theoretically allows him to travel at the speed of light, but in reality, it's not that fast at all. Kizaru can't travel 300,000 kilometers per second.

"We'll learn about the other derivative abilities of the Box-Box Fruit later. Let's go find someone first."

Dimon gave an order and re-entered the Box Garden Space. To outsiders, he appeared as if he had suddenly become a tiny person and entered a small, transparent box.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Room of Authority.

As Dimon destroyed the chip, Saint Saturn received the message from his subordinates immediately.

At that moment, the Den Den Mushi on the low table quickly reported:

"Chip number 0393 has just lost signal, suspected of being discovered and severely damaged!"

Saint Saturn didn't expect to keep it a secret for long; the chip hidden in the Devil Fruit would be exposed sooner or later if any of the Seven Deadly Sins tried to eat it.

"What was the last location of the signal before it disappeared?"

"Saint Saturn, the last place the signal came from... the East Blue!"

It's the East Blue... Upon hearing this, Saint Saturn immediately thought of a name he didn't want to mention: Gol D. Roger. The East Blue is the hometown of the Pirate King Roger.

As the weakest of the four seas, the East Blue has the strongest government control, with pirates there averaging only 3 million Beli in bounty.

Could the Seven Deadly Sins' lair be hidden in the East Blue...? We can't be so sure yet. We must intensify our investigation. Considering the chip issue has already been exposed, Saint Saturn decided to drop the pretense and immediately gave orders to his subordinates:

"Immediately notify the Navy to contact all branches in the East Blue and investigate all intelligence regarding the Seven Deadly Sins!"

"Yes!"

East Blue, Loguetown, Marine Base.

Tashigi rushed into the base commander's office, and was immediately choked by the smell of smoke as soon as she opened the door.

"Cough, cough, cough, Captain Smoker, orders from headquarters."

"Um?"

The man known as Smoker sat behind his desk, leaning back in his chair, three cigars dangling from his mouth, puffing away as if he were in heaven.

"What's that in your hand?" he asked.

"This is an arrest warrant from headquarters. Please take a look; it requests that we track down these people."

Tashigi strode to her desk, tidied up the messy surface, and then spread out several wanted posters on it.

Smoker lowered his head and looked over, and upon seeing what was happening, his pupils constricted slightly.

There were six brand-new arrest warrants. He had seen three of them before, but the amounts involved were different from before; they had all increased. The other three were new faces.

"The Seven Deadly Sins..."

East Blue, Conomi Islands, Cocoyasi Village.

The advantage of navigating in the East Blue is that you don't need to rely on Log Pose; as long as you have a compass and a nautical chart, it's not difficult to find a place.

It only took half a day for the Wave-Breaking Warrior to reach the airspace above this area.

Dimon stood on the ship's railing, gazing at the island below—the hometown of the genius navigator Nami, now occupied by the Arlong Pirates.

Since the goal is to capture the other party to work for them, and given that they're already here, it's not unreasonable to help Nami deal with these Fish-Man as well.

"Lycaon, come with me."

"Yes, Master."

The two leaped into the air, plummeting rapidly towards the island below from a height of several thousand meters.

At the same time.

Cocoyasi Village.
