"Hmm? What is this?"
Only then did Logan realize that there was a woman with short golden hair lying on the ground next to him.
Because the fur coat the woman was wearing was scorched black, it blended in with the surrounding environment and could not be noticed unless you looked carefully.
"Hiss? The original owner's mother? Losing her mother at the beginning and becoming an orphan again?"
Seeing the woman lying on the ground motionless, her life or death uncertain, Logan was not afraid of being scammed.
He squatted down, and using all his strength in his thin arms, he finally helped the woman up until his face turned red.
The woman had short wavy golden hair, a delicate face, and bright red lips. She looked to be in her forties.
Although there were many fine wrinkles on her face and she looked dusty at the moment, it could still be seen that the woman was pretty and still carried a certain charm.
"This person seems..."
Logan stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Oh my god! Isn't this Stussy, the Queen of the Pleasure District in Sabaody?"
"But why does she look older?"
Logan suddenly realized something, and there was unspeakable fear in his eyes. This was a very serious problem.
If this person really was Stussy of CP0, judging from her age, wouldn't that mean the current year was much later than he thought?
"Then the Summit War at Marineford has already been over for decades??"
Although he was very curious whether Im would kill the Straw Hat and go back to sleep waiting for the next Joy Boy to appear, or whether the Straw Hat Pirates would succeed in overthrowing the 800-year rule of the Celestial Dragons and end the story perfectly—
The daylilies were already cold!
"The plot I'm familiar with might even be written in detail in history textbooks. What's the point?"
Logan wailed in his heart, and even when he took a step back and thought about some things, he felt more and more hopeless.
"Pah!"
Logan slapped himself twice and calmly thought about what to do next since he had lost the ability to predict the future.
"Oh! Forget it. According to the protagonist's unwavering will, the world must already be at peace. Traveling around the seas, seeing wondrous and magnificent scenery, tasting new delicacies, and having chance encounters—living like that isn't unacceptable."
Logan, with tearful eyes, was suddenly blinded by the reflection of something and subconsciously looked over.
Only then did he notice that the woman had a pair of fashionable sunglasses in her hair, and looking down he saw a big gold chain around her neck.
"Hmmmm!"
His brain felt electrocuted, and a piece of One Piece knowledge from his past life suddenly flashed through his mind. Logan's eyes gradually brightened.
"Miss Buckin!!!"
"That's right, this isn't the old Stussy, but the younger Miss Buckin!"
Logan danced with excitement.
The person in front of him wasn't Stussy of CP0, but Buckingham Stussy—better known as Miss Buckin, the woman who claimed to be Whitebeard's lover.
"Oh my god! You bastard Oda! The difference between Stussy and Miss Buckin is so huge! If I hadn't known in advance that Stussy was her clone created by MADS, how could I have guessed it?"
In that case, it should still be decades before the outbreak of the Marineford War.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
"Maybe I can still catch up with the New Era! The world is vast and there's so much to do!"
Before traveling through time, Logan—who was good at making chicken soup for others—was for the first time excited by his own words.
"Hmm, so I'm that idiot? Pah! No, I should say this body is the big, stupid guy from the original story: Edward Weevil?"
Isn't the child that Miss Buckin raised named Weevil?
One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he calls himself 'Whitebeard Jr.' and is a pirate with a bounty of 480 million berries. Even Admiral Kizaru personally admitted that Weevil possesses the same terrifying strength as Whitebeard in his prime.
Thinking of Weevil's snot-nosed, dopey face in the manga, Logan suddenly didn't want to look in the mirror anymore. He could only comfort himself in his heart:
Forget it. Look at it more positively. It may be a little ugly, but it's really strong! In this world, strength is the most important thing!
Being fat ruins everything, but losing weight successfully might even improve your looks.
Logan looked at his thin arms and legs with pride. They seemed to be getting thinner every day. One day, he would grow into a sturdy man over 6 meters in height, like the giants he admired. By then, he would only miss this fragile feeling.
…
"Hey, wake up, are you okay?"
Logan fanned Miss Buckin, trying to wake her up.
Although this old woman was infamous and manipulative, in the manga, her son Edward Weevil had no real sense of justice or evil. He basically destroyed villages and looted under her command. But for now, at least, she was an ally.
I'm just a little kid now. Let alone venturing into the sea, even leaving here is a problem.
"Forget it, I'll just bear with it for now and fly solo when my wings are strong enough."
Logan rejected the idea of letting her die outright. But although Miss Buckin was still alive, her breathing was faint and she was on the verge of death.
Without any medical tools or medicine, Logan could only try basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and wait for a miracle.
"It seems that it's no use."
Logan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed as he looked at Buckin, who remained unconscious.
…
"Mom!!!"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from behind. Logan nearly had a heart attack. His eardrums hurt and his head was buzzing.
"What the hell!"
Logan turned his head in fear and looked toward the source of the sound.
A massive figure stood at the edge of a pit dozens of meters deep.
He was nearly 6 meters tall, wielding an enormous naginata longer than his height. His upper body was bulky like a boulder, but his legs were thin and awkward like chopsticks. The proportions looked ridiculous, yet Logan couldn't laugh.
The sunlight shone from behind him, and the shadow cast nearly covered half the pit.
Covering the sky and the sun!
"Strange… monster!"
Logan's hair stood on end. He felt the gaze of a ferocious beast. His throat trembled; he wanted to scream, but no sound came out.
"Mom~!"
Another roar.
The giant stamped his feet, and his massive figure vanished from sight.
Next second—
"Boom!!!"
The ground shook violently as the huge figure landed in front of Logan like a meteorite.
The earth split, dust filled the air, and Logan was blown away by the shock wave, tumbling to the ground.
"Ahem, my butt…"
Logan brushed dirt from his face, relieved he wasn't crushed to death. His back was drenched in cold sweat.
When the dust finally cleared—
A towering man stood there, over 6 meters tall despite still being considered "young." His golden, unkempt hair spread wildly like a lion's mane, and though he lacked Whitebeard's majestic crescent mustache, his brutish features and vacant eyes left no doubt about his identity.
With his massive naginata and ridiculous proportions, his identity was undeniable.
"Edward Weevil!?"
Logan froze in shock.
"Mom, Mom! Wuwuwu… what's wrong? Wake up!"
Weevil didn't even notice Logan at first. He rushed to Buckin, gently pinching her shoulders with his thick fingers and shaking her with tears streaming down his face.
"What's going on?"
Looking at Whitebeard's so-called "son" right in front of him, Logan was completely confused.
"He is Weevil? Then who the hell am I?"
Panic set in. He had assumed he was Weevil and believed Miss Buckin wouldn't harm him, but now things were different. Maybe they were even enemies.
Logan thought only of sneaking away while Weevil was distracted. After all, this man was infamous for slaughtering entire villages without hesitation.
Damn it, if I die within an hour of crossing over, wouldn't that be the most embarrassing end imaginable?
