Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Anime to American Comics

He deeply regretted getting involved in this matter. Chu Yang's strength far exceeded his imagination.

Though he had never witnessed the battles of Pirate King Roger, he dared to assert that Roger, no matter how powerful, could not surpass the man before him.

"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us! I'm not actually allied with this group," Doflamingo desperately explained. But the colder Chu Yang's gaze became, the more it made his blood run cold.

"I've seen many villains, but truly evil ones like you are rare."

"Forcing kind, loving people to kill each other for your amusement—such twisted entertainment is intolerable."

Hearing this, Doflamingo turned and fled without hesitation, pushing his String-String Fruit ability to its limit. Countless strings shot out, connecting to the clouds, forming an escape route.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Overwhelmed by terror, Doflamingo cursed as he fled in a frenzy.

Just when he thought he was on the verge of escape, an arrow formed from dark purple energy pierced through his chest, shattering his heart.

Doflamingo froze, staring at the fist-sized hole in his chest. Inside, only a small remnant of his heart was still faintly beating.

Am I... going to die?

Am I really dying like this?

Despair and indignation overwhelmed him as his consciousness faded, leaving him powerless even to scream. Slowly, he descended into endless darkness.

As Doflamingo's corpse fell into the sea, most of the Queen Mama Chanter's remnants were restrained by Seastone chains.

A small number chose to jump into the sea, hoping to escape.

But their plan proved futile.

Did they think they could pull this trick under the eyes of Fishmen?

Jinbe and his companions dove into the depths, capturing the fleeing pirates, along with Doflamingo's corpse and an unconscious King.

When King awoke, he was shackled in Seastone cuffs.

As he was escorted to the quarry, King, unwilling to accept his fate, inquired about Kaido's whereabouts. Upon learning of Kaido's death, he became despondent, the light in his eyes extinguished.

To King, Kaido was more than a captain—he was a figure akin to a father or elder brother.

Meanwhile, Chu Yang, intrigued by the Soul-Soul Fruit, swiftly established a laboratory in Feiliu Pavilion and enlisted Queen from the Revolutionary Army as his assistant.

Dragon raised no objections but secretly expressed concerns that Chu Yang might stray from the right path. He sought out Tiger for a private conversation.

Though Tiger was unsure of Chu Yang's exact plans, he firmly believed that Chu Yang would neither commit evil nor become another tyrannical emperor of the seas.

Moved by Tiger's conviction, Dragon temporarily set aside his concerns and focused entirely on more pressing matters.

The Revolutionary Army's bounties against the World Government and Navy, coupled with the monumental defeats of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, quickly sent shockwaves across the globe!

In Wano, within the top floor of Feiliu Pavilion, Chu Yang gazed at the ongoing large-scale renovations to his laboratory, lost in thought.

In recent years, humanity's greatest advancement in Devil Fruit research had been the creation of artificial Devil Fruits.

The world's first artificial Devil Fruit had been created by Dr. Vegapunk, the original pioneer of lineage factor theory.

Scientists such as Queen, Judge, and Caesar had pursued research in different directions, all stemming from Vegapunk's theories.

If possible, Chu Yang hoped to directly capture Vegapunk to assist in his research.

Unfortunately, Vegapunk was elusive, forcing Chu Yang to settle for gathering Judge and Caesar instead.

Uniting these three, he intended to see what advancements they could achieve together.

Chu Yang himself would also join the research. With his counterparts from magical and Marvel universes backing him, his capabilities rivaled theirs.

Caesar remained at Punk Hazard, while Judge, following a failed clash between the Germa Kingdom and the Donquixote family, had retreated with Germa 66 to the North Blue.

Gathering information on their whereabouts would take time, a task Chu Yang delegated to the Revolutionary Army.

Having provided them with such a valuable base, it was only fair to expect reciprocation—one-sided gains were not a sustainable partnership.

Dragon cooperated readily. Whether he truly trusted Chu Yang was irrelevant.

Mutual respect and exchange were fundamental to any functional alliance.

Since gaining the support of Kozuki Hiyori and the samurai, the Revolutionary Army had needed far fewer resources to defend their stronghold.

As for external invaders, they posed little concern, unable even to bypass Chu Yang's Feiliu Pavilion.

With more personnel freed up, the Revolutionary Army could fully commit to aiding Chu Yang's endeavors.

Half a month later, Chu Yang received updates on Caesar and Judge.

Caesar remained at Punk Hazard, heavily guarded by Marines, while Judge had returned to the North Blue.

Following the downfall of the Beasts and Big Mom Pirates, news of Doflamingo's death quickly spread, shaking the world once more.

The Donquixote family teetered on collapse, its forces in the North Blue fracturing. Judge emerged as the greatest beneficiary, reestablishing the Germa Kingdom's dominance.

Alongside this intel, the Revolutionary Army provided Chu Yang with two Eternal Poses—one pointing to Punk Hazard and the other to the Germa Kingdom.

Interestingly, Chu Yang had previously visited the land-based Germa Kingdom, where he had stolen their lineage factor technology.

It felt as though he was repeatedly milking the same source.

Before departing, Chu Yang visited his laboratory. Queen, shackled in Seastone, diligently worked, while King labored relentlessly in the mines.

As ancient Zoan Devil Fruit users, their physical resilience was exceptional, making them ideal candidates for Chu Yang's tailored "007 work benefits."

Even Dragon couldn't help but call Chu Yang a "devil."

After instructing Queen on the laboratory's construction standards, Chu Yang thoughtfully left a shadow clone to supervise and prevent unrest during his absence.

With everything in place, Chu Yang ascended into the skies using Dust Release, vanishing swiftly from Wano without anyone noticing.

The Eternal Pose simplified his journey, allowing him to focus solely on flying straight toward his destination.

What would have taken days or even months of sailing required only a few hours for Chu Yang.

As the Eternal Pose swung downward, Chu Yang knew he had arrived.

Punk Hazard.

The island had yet to witness the battle between Aokiji and Akainu for the Fleet Admiral position. It remained peaceful, with stunning landscapes.

Though sparsely populated by creatures, the island housed a wide variety—some native, others brought in for experimentation.

A casual aerial survey revealed hundreds of different animals.

The laboratory, situated at the island's center and integrated into the mountain, differed from its rebuilt location years later following Caesar's disastrous explosion.

Using Observation Haki, Chu Yang located Caesar by listening to the voices inside the buildings.

He descended onto a rooftop and punched a hole in the ceiling.

"Woooo~ Woooo~"

The alarm blared sharply, followed by hurried footsteps. Chu Yang leapt through the gap, his eyes shifting into Rinnegan mode.

The Marines assigned to guard the facility froze, their expressions turning vacant as they fell into an inescapable genjutsu.

The illusion altered their memories, ensuring they would retain no recollection of Chu Yang once he departed.

As he advanced toward Caesar, anyone who met his gaze—be it guards or researchers—succumbed to the illusory world he created.

Moments later, the entire facility was incapacitated, leaving only Caesar to face Chu Yang.

Terrified by the bizarre state of his colleagues, Caesar attempted to escape through elemental transformation.

But a Seastone-coated wooden spear struck his shoulder like lightning, pinning him to the wall.

More spears followed, impaling his limbs and deeply embedding into the wall.

Scarlet blood trickled down as Caesar screamed in agony.

"I have no intention of taking your life, Mr. Caesar. I simply need a small favor from you. Would that be alright?"

Chu Yang smiled as he spoke, but his expression sent chills down Caesar's spine.

Such a ruthless demeanor—claiming not to seek his life almost seemed like a cruel joke!

Caesar put on a pained expression. "What do you want me to do? Just say it. There's no need for this."

Chu Yang appreciated Caesar's attitude—smart people were easier to deal with. With a flick of his finger, the wooden spikes pinning Caesar's feet immediately withdrew.

Caesar grunted in pain but still nodded toward Chu Yang with a look of gratitude.

"I'm very interested in research on lineage factor technology. I hope you can help me. By the way, your former colleague, Queen, is also on my team."

Hearing Chu Yang's words, Caesar froze, recalling recent news he had seen. Hadn't Queen's Beasts Pirates been wiped out? Could it have been this man who had taken down Kaido and the entire crew?

A shiver ran through Caesar as any rebellious thoughts vanished completely. He hastily responded, "No problem! Whatever you need, I will gladly do. It's an honor to be of any help to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining wooden spikes binding Caesar fell away. He collapsed to the ground but immediately knelt in submission.

Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction.

With Caesar's help, Chu Yang used the undetectable extension spell to transport all the valuable instruments and data from the laboratory.

Weeks later.

When the World Government dispatched a team to inspect Punk Hazard, all they found was an empty laboratory.

After leaving Punk Hazard, Chu Yang brought Caesar with him as they flew toward the North Blue.

"Boss, where are we headed? Could you tell me our destination?"

Caesar didn't know Chu Yang's name and didn't dare ask, so he addressed him as "Boss." After all, from this day forward, he was officially Chu Yang's subordinate.

Chu Yang rather liked the title, and his tone softened. "We're going to meet one of your old colleagues."

Eliminating Queen as an option, Caesar immediately thought of another former colleague with whom he had frequently clashed—Vinsmoke Judge.

"I never thought we'd reunite like this…" Caesar murmured, feeling bittersweet.

"Well, since it's been so long, you can catch up later—after we finish the task at hand," Chu Yang joked with a smile.

Caesar, too embarrassed to respond, could only force an awkward smile.

High-speed flying, Chu Yang streaked across the North Blue like a meteor tearing through the night sky.

At this time, Judge was sitting on his throne, basking in the joy of victory after driving off the remnants of the Donquixote Family.

However, his triumph was marred by regret. When he had fled previously, he hadn't managed to take all the instruments and data from his lab. Upon returning, he found it in ruins, with numerous valuable records missing and the lab too damaged to be restored.

It wasn't just the lab—his entire palace had been ravaged by the Donquixote Family, with scorch marks everywhere.

Though initially furious, Judge quickly consoled himself. With Doflamingo dead, there was no point in dwelling on minor losses.

After all, everything he had lost could eventually be regained.

Feeling triumphant, Judge rose from his throne, ready to retire to his chambers. But an unshakable sense of unease suddenly gripped him, as though something was about to happen.

The chilling sensation along his spine made Judge look around. The previously empty palace now felt dark and ominous.

"Who's there?"

Judge never ignored his rare moments of premonition—they had saved his life on more than one occasion.
