Usopp said urgently, "Why is everyone going to find that demon? Any one of his henchmen is an evil being with a bounty of over 500 million!"
“No, that’s not true.” Nami immediately punched Usopp on the head and corrected him, “My sister Nojiko was forced to join the crew by him.”
“The navigator they were looking for was me,” Nami said, bursting into tears. “He threatened the lives of the entire village. My sister, Nojiko, impersonated me and was taken away by that bastard in order to save me and everyone else.”
"It really was that bastard." Sanji said through gritted teeth, "He threatened the old man with the lives of everyone at the Baratie restaurant. If the old man didn't become his chef, he would kill everyone at Baratie. The old man only went aboard with him for our sake."
“He killed my mentor,” Zoro said, touching the knife in his hand.
"Then let's beat him to a pulp together!" Luffy announced loudly.
Zoro: "I'm going to tear him to pieces."
Sanji: "I'm going to turn him into a leg dish."
Nami: "I'm going to sink him to the bottom of the sea."
"I, I," Usopp cried, his legs trembling as he looked at everyone staring at him, "Let me, let me become, become the hero who defeats the demon."

In the desert of the Alabasta Kingdom, Wang Han looked at the two Saint Doraemon lizards in front of him. Under the aura that Wang Han deliberately released, the two Saint Doraemon lizards did not dare to move at all, and could only let Wang Han's gaze scrutinize them and let Wang Han's hands touch their hard skin.
"How will it evolve?" Touching one of the Santa Ratna lizards, Wang Han used an evolution cheat on it through hand contact.
The next moment, the Santa Dola giant lizard began to change rapidly. Its body shrank quickly, and its color blended completely with the surrounding environment. Under the enormous threat of Wang Han, it chose an evolutionary path that would be more survivable.
“Evolution is influenced by the surrounding environment and creatures.” After glancing at this new species that was almost integrated with its environment, Wang Han turned to use his evolution cheat on another Saint Doraemon lizard. However, this time Wang Han did not use his own aura to suppress it. Instead, he used a five-sense illusion technique on it. Fortunately, Wang Han had Kurama Yakumo's bloodline limit, which could interfere with the five senses.
In the illusion, the earth is barren, and all living things are dead. Only birds still fly in the sky, but there are no creatures that can threaten the Saint-Dora lizard. To hunt the Saint-Dora lizard, one must be able to fly. The Saint-Dora lizard, standing on the barren earth, also begins to change in this environment. Its body begins to become slender, and bat-like wings begin to grow on its back. It has begun to evolve into an aerial hunter.
Wang Han's gaze shifted, and within the illusion space, the birds in the sky began to grow larger and their speed increased significantly. Within the illusion space, the Santa Ra giant lizard, which had already evolved into an aerial hunter, underwent another dramatic change; its size also increased, its body became more slender, its forelegs shortened, and its speed increased even further.
"As expected, external forces can be used to interfere with the direction of evolution." Looking at the Santa Ra giant lizard evolving synchronously in reality, Wang Han smiled and continued to manipulate the five senses illusion.
Within the illusionary space, the birds, which were previously only prey, grew larger again and became more ferocious. In this environment, the already somewhat slender body of the Santa Tera lizard became stronger, its limbs thickened, and its previously atrophied forepaws lengthened again, making it more suitable for aerial combat. However, with its increased size, its speed couldn't keep up, and a pair of wings actually grew back from the Santa Tera lizard's back.
"Maybe we can create a giant dragon." Looking at the evolved Santa Ra giant lizard, Wang Han smiled and manipulated the illusion space.
Within the illusion space, the environment rapidly deteriorated, becoming increasingly hot and humid. The wind gradually intensified, eventually carrying powerful pebbles, and the environment began to damage it.
In this environment, the Santa Dola lizard became stronger, its tough skin evolved into thick, hard scales to withstand the heat and wind, and its wings also became thick and hard.
In reality, night gradually fell, and Wang Han continued his evolution experiment with the Santa Ra lizard, having already exhausted half of his energy.
"Will it breathe fire?"
As the Santa Dora lizard, whose appearance was gradually resembling a Western dragon, grew larger, Wang Han continued to manipulate the illusion. In the illusion space, the prey that could only become food for the Santa Dora lizard began to breathe fire and spew water.
Unfortunately, Wang Han was disappointed when the Santoro giant lizard did not evolve the ability to breathe fire and water when faced with its suddenly troublesome prey. It lost its hunting advantage and began to evolve in the direction of survival, making its body longer and more suitable for escaping.
"Is it because it lacks special energies like water or fire?" Wang Han pondered, looking at the Santa Ra giant lizard, which no longer resembled its original form.
Wang Han took out a fire-type ability ball stolen from an ability user from his backpack space, inserted it into the body of the Santa Ra giant lizard, and continued to manipulate the five senses illusion.
However, instead of evolving back into a dragon, the Santa Ra giant lizard evolved into an ugly-looking bird.
"It seems that even with external control, the evolutionary direction may not necessarily be in the direction I want or the most suitable direction. It has given up the ability to hunt." Wang Han looked at the thing in front of him that had evolved into a strange bird, shook his head helplessly, drew his Miao sword and killed it with one strike, then cleaned up the corpse.
"Re-test." Wang Han's radar scanned the desert again, and his figure vanished instantly.
Wang Han appeared in another part of the desert, raised his hand and unleashed a swirling hurricane, clearing away the yellow sand in front of him and revealing the Saint-Dora giant lizards hiding among it. This time, before the two Saint-Dora giant lizards could escape, Wang Han pulled them into the Five Senses Illusion.
…………
Wang Han didn't stop his experiment until the sky began to lighten. Throughout the night, he had conducted experiments on ten Santa Dola lizards, nearly exhausting himself, but no more dragons had evolved. Wang Han also understood the direction of biological evolution: it is not only influenced by the environment, but even in the same environment, it is also affected by their own choices. By abandoning certain abilities, that aspect of evolution will gradually degenerate, just like how felines have branched out into many different species.
There is a difference between one's own evolutionary advantage and true evolution. One's own evolutionary advantage is similar to a catalytic effect, and it is still subject to some subjective influence. Species that have truly evolved over millions of years are almost unaffected by their own subjective influence because the span is too large, but they will be influenced by some kind of ancestral inheritance.
