Ch 2 : Prince Cade Sullivan

It was only three days later that the Marine ship landed.

The Marine and Vice Admiral Momonga boarded the ship, and Cade was brought like a super-criminal with handcuffs and chains on his leg.

They walked pretty far, but Cade was blindfolded, so he didn't know where he is.

Though soon, they stopped, and then Cade heard a crisp sound.

"Bastard son, why you even come back!"

As the body was shaken, the blindfold also fell.

What catches Cade's eye is a gorgeous mature woman with long brown hair.

And although she scolded him, Cade could still see the care on her face.

' It must be the original body's mother.' Cade thought.

She seems to be about forty years old. Her eyes were red, and it looked like she had cried a lot. But when she saw Cade, cade could subtly see she sighed a relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulder.

For this, Cade was absent-minded. The woman was happy that his son had returned, but who actually thought that the one returned was not his original son, but another person in the body of his son.

Cade's mind gradually returned, and then he saw that besides Vice Admiral Momonga and a few soldiers, there was a tall man with a flushed face. He was wearing a crown and a dark robe. This was... Sullivan's King? The original body's father?!

It turned out that the place Vice Admiral Momonga brought him was back to his homeland.

King Sullivan took a deep breath and looked at Cade. He was the one that issued the order to bring Cade back, but the eyes that he used to look at Cade were still complicated.

In the end, he could only sigh. After all, blood is thicker than water, and no matter what, the original body was still his child.

"Vice Admiral, Momonga, I really thank you for bringing this kid back! I'm sorry that our small Kingdom can't really accommodate a Vice Admiral like you."

His voice was full of tiredness after handling this matter.

He didn't want to talk about this any longer, and Vice Admiral Momonga also knew about this.

After they finished the formality and King Sullivan had sent the marine and Vice Admiral Momonga away, he turned at Cade with that complicated expression.

" You… forget it. For now, just return to your room and repent. I hope that after this, you will forget that lousy dream of yours." Said King Sullivan, full of disappointment, before instructing the guards to send Cade back to his own room.

..................

"Fuck... my predecessor is too bad.."

After being brought back to his own room in Sullivan's palace, Cade gradually cleared his thoughts and adapted to his current identity.

All his misery and troubles were brought by his predecessor, but there's no way that he could say that he was a different person, right?

After all, if it was found out that he was not the predecessor but someone from the earth occupying his body, the impact might have been worse than now.

Nonetheless, Cade could only accept his identity and live as this Cade Sullivan.

Living as a prince wouldn't be so bad, isn't it?

As for striving to be the Pirate King, Cade no longer had thought about that.

Let Luffy and the others strive to be the Pirate King and stay at the side to enjoy things. As for him, he still had a big matter to handle.

Sullivan kingdom was originally a small but bustling kingdom in the grand line.

The majestic scenery, coupled with its special delicacies, had made the Sullivan Kingdom become one of Grand Line's most popular tourism place.

Yet recently, the economy of the Sullivan Kingdom was not that good.

For an unknown reason, the state of the plants and forest began to worsen, and even the beach now didn't look as beautiful as ever.

At first, this news could still be handled by using the name of Sullivan Kingdom, but after months without any good news, even tourists began to take notice of this predicament, and the income from tourism grew downhill a lot from that moment.

Adding to the fact that King Sullivan should have spent a lot of money to bring Cade back, Cade had inferred that Sullivan's kingdom treasury should not be in a good state right now,

Thinking about his predecessor's willful act, even after knowing the state of his kingdom, Cade has a toothache.

' The most important issue is to make money. As for whether this occurrence is manmade or not, I could only think about this later.'

Fortunately, he seemed to have a way to make money.

After days of meditation, he finally discovered that his devil fruit should be the illusion-illusion fruit.

It had the ability to create an illusion or drag people into an illusion space.

Although it was far from the Magma fruit of Akainu or the Frozen fruit of Kuzan, Rochen felt this fruit was more suitable for him.

And now the problem was how to act on his plan.

Fortunately, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly reverberated outside the door.

" Your highness, have you come back?"
