I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

"Princess? Me?"

Was she too young before she transmigrated, or did she become stupid after transmigrating? Looking at Tianyue's adorable expression, Figo shook his head and said, "This is a rather long story, let me tell you slowly."

As Figo tells Amatsuki a story based on what he saw in the events involving the two characters from Im, he simultaneously opens Im's file in his mind.

[Character Event 2 (Completed): Event details omitted. Event requirement: Have Im or help Im kill or capture the last surviving princess of the Kingdom of God—Amazuki Toki!]

After completing the character event, you can choose any ability benefit from Im.

Im's list of abilities is long; the nine-hundred-year-old monster has learned everything, but Figo naturally chooses the power of the demon race (legend)!

[Event Rewards: Demon Power (Legendary) +265960 → 265960 (Level 5, Top Demon)]

The moment he made his choice, Figo felt something different about himself, as if some power was awakening deep within him. If he wasn't mistaken, the power of the demon race should grant him an unknown Devil Fruit ability. He didn't know how long it would take to awaken, or what it would be.

He paused only briefly before continuing to tell the story to Amaterasu while simultaneously activating character event 3, which could be activated after completing character event 2 for Im, to see if he could do another one.

Let's see if we can get any more information.

The image appeared.

……

"What did you do to my body while I was asleep?" Im, wearing a three-finger golden crown, asked the two researchers kneeling on the ground.

The two stammered, "We didn't...we didn't do anything. Your power of elimination renders everything that could restrict you ineffective."

"We...we only drew some of your blood and used your influence to impose certain restrictions on most Devil Fruits."

Im: "Hmm?"

"It was the king's instruction. He did not want any powerful individuals in the Legion of Ability Users to have a second awakening or to ignite the flame that was not entirely under his control."

Devil Fruits affected by your blood are basically no longer able to help their users light lamps, but the Weather Fruit that Prince Uranus ate has no such restrictions, thus ensuring the royal family's leading power.

There were also a few fruits that weren't restricted. The king planned to select the strongest among his trusted confidants and give them the fruits... until they had enough power, then... then..."

Im: "So what?"

"I'll kill you again, and then the restrictions on those fruits will be lifted, and I won't have to worry anymore."

Im sneered, "Are all the fruits that have no restrictions still available?"

"Yes, some are there, some aren't. For example, the experimental subject you released back then had no restrictions from the Gum-Gum Fruit..."

Im's expression shifted slightly, then quickly returned to its coldness: "He's not dead yet?"

"This...we don't know."

"anything else?"

"Prince Uranus's Weather Fruit and Time Fruit have already been eaten by Prince Amaterasu. The Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type Azure Dragon, is still available. If the powerful person who ate that fruit lights the lamp, they have a chance to seize control of the giant sea king from the mermaid princess..."

……

【Character Event 3 (Activated): Even after undergoing the immortality surgery, he is not completely immortal. Im, whose body is slowly decaying, has the idea of ​​eating a Devil Fruit and trying to rekindle the flame to live a second life, but he has never made up his mind and does not know if it is feasible.

Event Requirement: Have Im or have Im eat the Zoan-type Fish-Fish Fruit - Mythical Zoan type Azure Dragon, and use its power to light the lamp.

Kaido's Devil Fruit? The ability to ignite a flame and then command giant Sea Kings, becoming the Sea King himself? Is this the real reason Kaido has been captured multiple times but hasn't died? Is the World Government reluctant to kill him?

Was it Im's order that the World Government later wanted the Gum-Gum Fruit? Im wanted to eat it, but Shanks stole it and Luffy ate it...

Figo suddenly understood many of his doubts and realized why Mia, Sora, and the others had told him that the Devil Fruit ability seemed to be more at his fingertips the moment Im died.

The fruit couldn't ignite lamps before, but it can now. However, Figo isn't worried at all about a bunch of powerful lamp-lighters emerging in the world.

Just think about it. Kaido, one of the Four Emperors in the future, is an SSR7 or even SSR8. His Devil Fruit has no restrictions, and he's still a long way from being able to light up the lamp. Even if the restrictions are lifted, only Whitebeard at his peak would have a slight chance of lighting up the lamp, so it won't have a big impact.

With these thoughts in mind, Figo also told Tenzuki Toki the general story of the Great Kingdom and Im.

The girl sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, feeling somewhat shocked and lost.

Figo said to her, "Stop time-traveling aimlessly. How about coming back to Marine Headquarters with me, Amezuki Toki?"

Tian Yue nodded hesitantly.

Figo smiled, then suddenly remembered something.

Right now... Oden should have just been born or not even been born yet. If Toki Amagi stopped time travel, he would be 20 years older than him.

This... well, it's good.

Chapter 109 Public Execution

Since they couldn't possibly carry Amezuki back, Figo's return to Marine Headquarters was much slower.

All decisions that required his attention were made through Den Den Mushi (snail phone), and after more than ten days, Figo finally returned to Marine Headquarters with Azuki Toki.

By this time, the kings who had attended the World Conference had already begun their return journey, and most of the marines at Marine Headquarters had been dispatched to maintain order, making the place somewhat deserted. Along the way, a few marines would occasionally greet Figo, the 'Naval King,' with excitement, while also curiously observing the strangely dressed beautiful girl accompanying him.

After more than ten days, Tian Yueshi, having shed her 'mission,' gradually became more lively, looking around at this and that, asking questions like a curious child. It wasn't until they arrived near Mia's house that she became somewhat silent and nervous.

"Grandpa Figo!" With a loud shout, Lingling pounced on Figo.

Tianyue's pink lips gaped open in an "O" shape as she frantically dodged the oncoming tank.

With a loud thud, Lingling was caught and lifted up by Figo. Only then did Figo pat his chest, still shaken, and look Lingling over.

Is this the little granddaughter who's 'a bit' tall? Is she really ten years old?!

"Grandpa Figo, you're finally back! Without you, the elite troops camp is no fun at all. Grandma Mia wouldn't run with me, and Sister Bajin is too stupid, and those new recruits are even worse..." Lingling complained to Figo incessantly.

Figo laughed, "Are you trying to exhaust your Grandma Mia? She can't outrun Lingling."

Mia smiled gently at the door, while Ba Jin had a dark expression on his face. "I'm so sorry I'm so stupid."

Meanwhile, they were also observing Amatsuki, who had returned with Figo. Amatsuki's mood gradually calmed down, and as she looked at the three of them, she matched the descriptions given by Figo. One was really big and the other was really small, two little sisters... It seemed quite interesting.

"Hello, I am Amaterasu Toki. I will be staying at the Marine Headquarters from now on. Please take good care of me." She bowed and said.

"Huh?" Lingling jumped off Figo and asked amidst the shaking, "Another little sister, can you play with Lingling?"

Figo laughed and said, "Of course, but Lingling, you have to play gently. This Tianyue Shi sister is even more delicate than your Ba Jin sister."

Ba Jin: "..."

Lingling: "I see..."

Tianyue felt cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

Why do I feel like I've come to the wrong place?

Mia chuckled and shook her head: "Tian Yue Shi, right? It's a very nice name. Come on, little girl, come in and sit down, don't stand outside."

“Yes, don’t be too reserved, just make yourself at home,” Figo said, then asked Mia a seemingly unrelated question: “How many are there?”

Mia said, "Almost a hundred."

Tian Yue murmured to himself: Home?

……

Tianyue integrated into her new family smoothly. After spending some time together, she discovered that Lingling was really very simple-minded, except that she could eat more and had more strength, making her prone to being clumsy.

Meanwhile, with the return of the kings who had attended the World Conference, specific news about the world changes and the collapse of governments inevitably caused a huge uproar throughout the world.

Commoners, pirates, nobles, merchants—regardless of their status or age, all were filled with unease due to the changing world structure.

On many large islands, strangely enough, marines came and set up a plaza in the center, installed expensive video denn snails, and announced to the surrounding residents that they would be coming to watch a broadcast in a few days. It was unclear what they were going to do.

Fishman Island and Ryugu Castle also have such a video Den Den Mushi installed.

On the appointed day, Prince Neptune, who had participated in the second half of the World Conference, excitedly gathered with his father and countless merfolk subjects.

When the broadcast screen lit up and the content on the screen became clear, gasps and commotion erupted from every corner of the world!

On a tall execution platform, rows of people dressed in strange spacesuits knelt, their faces bruised and swollen, their eyes filled with terror, as if waiting to be executed!

"This is... a Celestial Dragon?!"

"Are they really... all Celestial Dragons?"

Once the broadcast stabilized, the tall, muscular man who had walked to the center of the screen spoke words that completely dispelled their doubts!

"Greetings, people of the world! I am Gaston Figo, an old pirate and an old jailer. Today, I will be here to preside over the execution of 113 sinful Celestial Dragons!"

"I hereby declare that from this day forward, whether you are a commoner, a pirate, a noble, a member of the royal family, or even one of these so-called Celestial Dragons, if you commit a crime, the righteous Marines will arrest you!" He pointed towards Impel Down: "I am there, building three new Impel Downs to imprison lawbreakers. Those who wish to continue being criminals are welcome to move in!"

"This is... the King of the World?"

Many people murmured to themselves.

In that instant, the world fell silent.

Then Figo raised his arm high and then lowered it!

"Execution! Begin!"

"No!" the Celestial Dragons cried out.

People watching on screen discovered that these so-called noble aristocrats, when faced with death, displayed an ugly and fearful demeanor that was worse than that of an ordinary person!

No, not even as cowardly as the weakest person!

As the execution soldiers' spears fell, the blood of 113 Celestial Dragons splattered on the execution platform!

Standing in front of the video screen, countless people stared in shock, covering their mouths in horror.

Those who had suffered misfortune because of the Celestial Dragons were stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

The wicked pirates were filled with unease.

On a small island, Roger pointed at the screen, mouth agape as if he wanted to say something, but Rayleigh covered his mouth and dragged him away.

The Rumbar Pirates' afro-haired musician laughed heartily, "Although it's terrifying, the execution of the Celestial Dragons is probably a good thing. Shall we play a tune together?"

In the Dragon Palace, the Merfolk King murmured to himself, "Could it be... that humanity is truly changing this time?"

Alabasta, back here. Queen Anne, after watching the broadcast with her ministers, couldn't help but reminisce about her youth: "He's still so handsome, no wonder he was the man I once admired..."

Giants, Minks, Longarms… Under the watchful eyes of countless people and races, Figo proclaimed loudly, “Next, in order to maintain the stability of the four seas and the Grand Line, the Navy will be expanding its forces on a large scale worldwide! No matter what race or origin you are, people with a heart for justice, come and join the Navy!”

In an instant, those who had suffered misfortune because of the Celestial Dragons turned around and ran towards the Marine branch!

Countless children pointed at the screen and said to their parents, "I want to be a sailor!"

The world is shaken by this!
