I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"You are nothing but scum."

"And I have ambition!"

The bandit Gilman was filled with boundless pride:

"After I defeat you, I will take over all the bandits in the surrounding area, dominate this region, plunder the Goa Kingdom, and then dominate the entire East Blue!"

He took a deep breath and shouted the words:

"I'm going to be the bandit king of the East Sea!"

These words echoed through the mountains, startling countless birds into flight.

After a brief silence, the bandits on Sig's side burst into laughter.

"Mountain bandit king?"

"He actually dared to say he wanted to be the bandit king in front of our boss, Sig!"

"East Blue Mountain Pirate King? That's hilarious. Why don't you just say you want to be the Shandong Pirate King?"

"Our boss, Higuma, once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Pirate King Roger, and just yesterday he was chatting and laughing with one of the Four Emperors of the Sea!"

As the burly bandit Gilman listened to the laughter, his face gradually darkened, but upon hearing the last sentence, he let out a sneer through his nostrils:

"The Pirate King? You, Higuma?"

"Sig, do you think we don't know your background? You probably haven't even left the East China Sea, have you?"

After he finished speaking, the bandits on Gilman's side burst into laughter.

"They actually dared to look down on the boss!"

"Boss, let's deal with this low-class trash!"

The bandits were all filled with righteous indignation, but only Sig, whom they surrounded, had a thoughtful expression on his face.

He was still a little troubled after learning that Sieg was actually the most wanted criminal.

Garp is coming soon, so the more low-key he is, the better. If the name of the most wanted criminal catches Garp's attention, then he's doomed.

Sieg raised his hand in a gesture to quiet his subordinates, then looked up and asked:

"You want to defeat me, Sieg, to make a name for yourself? That's easy."

"I concede."

Sieg said calmly:

"You can spread the news that I was utterly defeated by you, and I have no objection."

"So, can we go now?"

The crowd erupted in uproar, and the bandits on both sides were somewhat bewildered.

Laughter erupted again.

"He chickened out instantly? Is this our number one wanted criminal?"

"Faced with our encirclement, you don't even have the courage to make a move?"

Meanwhile, Sieg's subordinates also looked incredulous.

"Boss...why?"

They were secretly hoping that their leader would take care of these bandits, but this is what happened instead.

"Sig, are you looking down on me?"

The burly bandit spoke angrily, staring straight at Sig, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

"Of course not, I even want to cheer you on for your dream of becoming the bandit king."

As Sieg's deep voice rang out, he also raised his hands, empty-handed, indicating that he had no intention of resisting, and slowly walked towards the encirclement in front of him.

"So, can we go now?"

The turn of events left the burly bandit Gilman, who was blocking the road, somewhat bewildered.

He looked at Sieg's sincere eyes, scratched his head, and didn't know how to react for a moment.

Sig carefully took one step at a time.

They were getting closer and closer to the encirclement ahead.

At the same time, Sieg didn't forget to turn around and shout:

"What are you all standing there for? Put your knives away and follow me."

The bald bandits were stunned for a moment, their expressions complicated, but they still slowly sheathed their knives.

Gilman, who was blocking the way, thought for a moment and finally gestured to his men with his eyes.

A small gap appeared in the encirclement, just big enough for one person to pass through.

"Very well... I'll just walk through this peacefully... It's none of my business who becomes the bandit king..."

Sig thought to himself.

At the same time, he glanced at the bandits blocking his way on both sides.

Each of these bandits looked at Sig with a mixture of contempt and wariness, their gleaming blades reflecting the cold light of the metal in the sunlight of the mountain forest.

As Sieg approached the encirclement, he felt a slight sense of nervousness.

Bang bang bang bang bang...

The engine of the Emperor started up uncontrollably again.

Chapter 11 Observing in the Dark

far away.

Dragon silently observed the situation on Sig's side, his face expressionless.

His senses were quite sharp; he could hear the conversation clearly even from a great distance.

"It seems I wasted my time."

"Dragon muttered to himself."

A guy who doesn't even have the courage to fight when facing bandits and just admits defeat is not worth his attention.

He turned around, intending to leave.

Bang bang bang bang...

He stopped abruptly in his tracks and turned back to look, looking suspiciously.

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

A deep, powerful sound echoed through the mountains and forests.

In that instant, all the bandits blocking the road turned pale.

"He wants to make a move!"

Someone shouted loudly.

Instantly, more than a dozen gleaming longswords and pitch-black gun barrels were pointed directly at Sieg, who was standing right in front of him.

Sig was now just one step away from them.

With just a gentle flick of the knife or a pull of the trigger, he would be bleeding on the spot.

However.....

No one brandished a knife, and no one fired a gun.

Bang bang bang bang bang...

The bandits who drew their swords and aimed them at Sig trembled slightly at the tips of their blades, and those who raised their guns did not pull the triggers.

At this moment, in their eyes, Sieg seemed to have become some kind of extremely dangerous beast. Even though he was just walking slowly step by step, the immense pressure he exerted made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

"No...you can't shoot...I'll definitely be killed..."

The thought crossed everyone's mind, and large beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

For every step Sieg takes forward, they take a step back.

The encirclement gradually loosened, like water flowing through a stone, and the small gap that could only allow one person to pass through quickly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, the encirclement had completely collapsed, and everyone retreated to both sides of the road, as if to welcome Sieg walking in the middle.

Only the burly bandit leader, Gilman, remained standing in the middle of the road.

"Sig!" a loud shout rang out.

The burly bandit, standing a full two and a half meters tall, raised his long sword and glared angrily at Sig.

"What have you done? Are you trying to fool me?"

Sieg paused slightly and looked intently at Gilman.

“No,” Sig replied in a low voice.

Then, he clenched his outstretched hand into a fist, and at that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on his fist.

"He's really going to make a move... You'll die!"

"The boss is finally going to make his move!"

Amidst the differing gazes of the two groups, Sieg clenched his fist and slightly lowered it, making a gesture of encouragement:

"Keep it up, and I wish you all the best in becoming the Bandit King of the East Sea soon."

"Also, don't forget to spread the word that I'm already your defeated opponent."

The deep words, accompanied by the sound of the Emperor's engine, were deeply imprinted in their minds.

These two sentences seem to completely disregard him.

"You...you're looking down on me, thinking that even if I spread the word that I've defeated you, no one will believe me?"

"You're humiliating me!"
