"Ancient Zoan?" Sawada Tsunayoshi's expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "And it's the Dragon-Dragon Fruit. Kaido must be extremely fanatical about this kind of fruit, right?"
"So what if he's a fanatic?" Madara Uchiha sneered. "He can't beat Whitebeard."
In this world, strength ultimately reigns supreme. Those with strength will enjoy everything, while those without strength have no voice in the face of those who possess strength.
"Actually, there's no need!" Su Han's voice was calm. Although he was somewhat tempted by the Ancient Devil Fruit, the problem that had arisen in the One Piece world this time was rather special and was something he had decided to deal with himself.
Accepting the payment under these circumstances, only to have the truth revealed later, could lead to a collapse of his prestige. This is unacceptable to Su Han, so he'd rather not do it.
"Let's take a look at the anomalies that have occurred in the One Piece world first."
Su Han tapped the back of the chair lightly with his finger, activating his observation privileges to extract a large number of images.
The stars in the One Piece storyline were surrounded by dazzling light, which then rapidly spread outwards, forming a real illusion out of thin air.
This is the Land of the Whole Cake Island.
Charlotte Linlin was furiously devouring the cake in front of her, roaring, "Whitebeard... that damned Whitebeard, that monster!"
Charlotte Linlin's injuries and angry demeanor showed that she had suffered a considerable loss at Whitebeard's hands.
Zhang Sanfeng silently turned to stare at Whitebeard, recalling his reason for not participating in Saeko Busujima's world mission last time. Clearly, this period was after Whitebeard had brutally defeated Charlotte Linlin.
Charlotte Linlin, still furious after kicking all her children out of her room, munched on a cake.
Just then, a figure completely shrouded in darkness appeared behind Charlotte Linlin; that guy had extremely peculiar pupils.
"Although it's not the best option... it's the most suitable under the current circumstances."
The mysterious voice was neither male nor female, but deep and hoarse. Most strangely, he stood behind Charlotte Linlin, yet the Yonko Charlotte Linlin remained completely unaware of him.
"That's you!"
The eerie figure slowly raised its palm, and a black thread floated on it.
The powerful council members were alright, but the weaker ones felt goosebumps rise on their skin. Staring blankly at the black threads, they felt nauseous.
"This is... the feeling of facing an evil being?" Madara Uchiha's eyelids twitched.
He had great confidence in himself, but he also understood that if he could be affected by staring at a real illusion, one could imagine how terrifying it would be to actually face it.
A mysterious, unseen entity inserted black threads into Charlotte Linlin's body, then silently withdrew. Charlotte Linlin, oblivious to everything, continued frantically devouring the cake in front of her.
And gradually, Charlotte Linlin became pregnant.
From the series of vivid illusions that followed, it was clear that Katakuri, Charlotte Linlin's strongest son, sensed something was wrong using his Observation Haki, but Charlotte Linlin ignored his warnings.
Charlotte Linlin wasn't entirely without feelings for her own child, but that was about it. She showed no mercy to those who went against her interests, no matter the punishment or even death. However, the child she was carrying this time was clearly different.
She stroked her round belly, her eyes revealing a fanaticism, and occasionally uttered some crazy words that ordinary people could not understand.
Reality and fantasy, that's all.

Chapter 136 A Glimpse of the Vast Power of Evil Gods in the Void
The Hall of Mist was deathly silent; no one spoke.
The wise men in the council realized that the woman's pregnancy was clearly abnormal; it had not been conceived through normal means.
Whitebeard remained silent for a long time before suddenly turning around and staring at Su Han, his voice serious, "Chairman of the Council, please tell me what exactly happened."
"It's a very simple matter." Su Han's voice was slow and deliberate, as if he had done something perfectly normal, but his face, shrouded in mist, was somewhat serious.
He recalled the information he had obtained through observation and said softly, "Charlotte Lingling did not conceive normally... This time she is carrying the offspring of an evil god."
Aside from Aizen, who had already suspected it, everyone else's expressions changed drastically. If it weren't for Su Han's imposing presence, there would probably have been an uproar by now.
"The offspring of an evil god?" Madara Uchiha clenched his fists, his expression grim. "In other words, that mysterious guy with peculiar pupils, whose gender was indistinguishable, was the evil god?"
That strange being was an evil god? That certainly explains everything, but… even more questions arise. Wasn't it said that evil gods couldn't descend to earth?
Su Han, being omniscient and omnipotent in the misty space, naturally heard Uchiha Madara's thoughts. Recalling the vast amount of information he had just received, he sighed inwardly and urged Number Ten to speak.
“That person isn’t an evil god,” Number Ten’s voice remained completely calm. “Look at that guy’s pupils, haven’t you figured out who he really is yet?”
Huang Rong recalled those strange eyes from before, and the more she thought about it, the more familiar they seemed. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she exclaimed, "It's Im!"
The king of the Celestial Dragons, the mastermind behind the World Government. Even the Five Elders, who command the World Government, revere him as their master—a mysterious yet destined-to-be-powerful monster.
Ying Zheng's body tensed up suddenly, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind. He felt that he understood a lot, but he always felt that something was missing, so that the logic could not be connected.
Su Han continued to control Number Ten and explained, "The Five Elders have transformed into top-tier evil beings, and Im was involved in this. Due to certain special reasons, Im obtained a wisp of the evil god's divinity. He previously infused this wisp of evil god's divinity into Charlotte Linlin's body."
"So, Charlotte Linlin is currently carrying the offspring of an evil god. If she completes her pregnancy, Im will come and use a special method to merge himself with the offspring of the evil god, thereby completely transforming into a quasi-evil god, devouring worlds, and transcending the world of the Pirate King. If he devours enough worlds in the future, he might become a true acquired evil god... Hmph! Another case like this."
Upon hearing this, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt his hands and feet turn cold, his mind went blank, and he didn't even know what he should be thinking.
Aizen gave Number Ten a deep look. Had Number Ten encountered many cases like this? Or was it simply a given?
Ying Zheng remained expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil. He suddenly spoke, "Number Ten, do you mean... that humans, under some special method, can also transform into evil gods?"
“Not humans,” Number Ten said softly, “but all life! Or rather, all powerful life.”
"Because those who lack strong will will be completely influenced by the divinity of the evil god in order to merge with it, they will become an unconscious offspring of the evil god... Only those with strong will can retain their own consciousness. Of course... after successfully reincarnating, they are no longer the original species, but an offspring of the evil god."
"Or you could say the other way around, this kind of creature is more dangerous than the original evil god... The original evil god destroys the world entirely according to his own whims. He does gain certain benefits from destroying the world, but he is inherently chaotic and will not deliberately destroy the world for the sake of benefits... However, the reincarnated evil god, or quasi-evil god, can become stronger by devouring the world and life... At least growing to the stage of the original evil god is not a problem."
So... Number Ten is a primordial evil god? Aizen took a deep breath, unable to maintain his composure. He suddenly sensed the terrifying power of the evil god in the void.
