I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Sig's back was already sweating.

He could still feel that sharp gaze, and the stinging sensation that ran through his skin.

This shattered the last glimmer of hope in Sieg's heart.

Sieg's mind was already in turmoil.

He kept trying to get Hawkeye to give up the idea of ​​fighting, stalling for time while thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

But even now, he hasn't come up with a perfect solution.

The opponent is too strong, and I have too few cards in my hand.

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; without solid strength, it would have been incredibly difficult for Sieg to get to this point.

However... there is actually another way, though it's not a solution!

This is a huge gamble!

A semi-transparent panel rapidly unfolded in front of Sieg.

This is the mission that Sieg just encountered after the naval battle: The Monumental Lie!

What if you can't clear the map because your hand isn't strong enough?

Pay to gacha! Gacha makes you stronger!

The reward for this mission is an S-SS grade card, which might offer a chance to break the deadlock.

Oscar-winning actor Seager made a difficult decision.

The first step is to climb onto Roger's execution platform!

This is the highest point in the entire square; once you stand on it, you'll be the coolest person there!

Sieg gritted his teeth and took his first step toward the execution platform!

Then...then half a minute passed, and he still hadn't taken the second step.

What is Sig doing?

"Didn't he say he had something important to say? Why did he take one step and then stop?"

"Wait... his aura is getting more and more terrifying. What is he plotting?"

While everyone was speculating, Sieg felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

He...can't walk.

Under Hawkeye's death stare, Sieg felt as if his legs were filled with lead, completely out of control.

In fact, not having her legs go weak or her body tremble was already pretty much her limit for Sieg...

"No! I must go up to the execution platform! I must do something to suppress the fear in my heart."

A thousand thoughts surged through Sieg's mind.

Hawkeye put immense pressure on him. The world's greatest swordsman was too prestigious. Even if he just stood there and did nothing, Sieg couldn't move.

"Right, as long as we break Hawkeye's aura of strength and treat him as an ordinary person, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

A thought struck Sieg.

Thinking about it carefully, Hawkeye is actually a very strange person. He dares to cross the vast ocean in a small, dilapidated boat that looks like a coffin.

If it gets windy and rainy, those small boats have nowhere to hide and would probably get soaked to the bone.

Upon closer inspection, there was nothing on that small boat except for one seat.

Even the strongest need to urinate and defecate!

How Hawkeye deals with physiological needs... it's terrifying to think about.

Think about it again, how did that little wrecked boat, which didn't even have oars, manage to cross the Calm Belt?

After glancing at the massive black sword Night in Hawkeye's hand, Sig seemed to understand something.

When people are watching, Hawkeye sits on the boat and strikes a cool pose; when no one is around, he draws his big black knife and slashes wildly at night.

..........

After careful consideration and deduction, Sieg came to a conclusion.

He finally understood why, ten years later, the Krieg Pirates were cut down by Hawkeye all the way from the Grand Line back to the East Blue.

It's likely that they ran into Hawkeye rowing a boat at night with his black sword, which enraged him...

With this thought in mind, the pressure on Sieg immediately lessened considerably.

He finally took the second step, the second step... and then leaped up, finally reaching the execution platform.

He stood at the highest point of the entire Rogge town square, overlooking the sea of ​​people in the square.

News of Hawkeye's impending duel had spread, and quite a few people had come to watch. Among the crowd were also many pirates who had come to Loguetown.

"Was this the last thing Roger saw before he died?"

Sig looked down, took a deep breath, and quietly turned on the megaphone on his chest.

"What does Sieg want to do?"

Momousagi frowned slightly. She couldn't figure out Sieg's intentions, but she instinctively felt something was wrong.

Just as they were about to stop it, a voice suddenly rang out.

Are you planning to interfere with a duel between swordsmen?

Hawkeye was still facing away from her, but his golden eyes looked back at her without looking back, which made Momousagi pause slightly.

In the brief moment of delay, Sig on the execution platform had already spoken.

The thumping of the Emperor's engine, accompanied by Sieg's deep voice, echoed across the execution platform and carried far.

"Before I die, I want to pass on the treasures I have collected throughout my life to those who come after me."

Sieg's lips curled into a smile as he looked down at the crowd below the execution platform.

The crowd below the square stirred up a commotion, and many people's expressions suddenly became somewhat strange.

Does this scene sound familiar?

Before they could figure it out, Sig's voice continued to echo in the square.

"I have hidden all my accumulated wealth deep in the mountains!"

"You may call this treasure..."

"anotherpiece!"

Chapter 126 The Celestial Dragons' National Treasure

The once bustling square in Rogge Town suddenly fell silent.

In the distance, a crowd of onlookers, including many East Blue pirates who watched coldly, were trying to drive away the marines...

All voices fell silent at that moment. They all raised their heads and stared blankly at Sig on the execution platform.

what happened?

You must have misheard, right?

What the heck is anotherpiece?

After a moment of silence, the entire square suddenly erupted into loud laughter and chatter.

"The Pirate King's One Piece contains all his wealth, power, and fame. What treasure do you have that you dare to say such a thing?"

"Are you showing off your English here? And 'anotherpiece'?"

"Aren't you just a pirate with a bounty of nearly 200 million, a newcomer to the world of piracy? How much wealth could you possibly have?"

"Sig! Your title is the Pirate King of the East Blue, do you really think you're the Pirate King of Shandong?"

Sieg let out a sneer amidst the laughter and murmurs of the crowd.

"ignorance."

His gaze turned slightly cold as he looked down at the crowd below, forcefully amplifying his voice through a megaphone to drown out the murmurs.

"It seems you know nothing about me, not even why I attacked the Celestial Dragons in the first place."

Sieg sneered.

These seemingly serious words caused everyone to frown, but some people began to think about them carefully.

When it comes to Higuma's most famous feat, it is that he took the initiative to attack the Celestial Dragons in the Goa Kingdom of the East Blue.

"Is he implying that this treasure is related to the Celestial Dragons?"

Someone in the crowd raised a question, which immediately caused many people to change color.

The wealth possessed by the Celestial Dragons is astronomical!

"Could it be that the truth behind the Celestial Dragon incident in the Goa Kingdom is that Higuma robbed a Celestial Dragon, but the World Government covered it up?"

"Hey Sigurd, is your treasure related to the Celestial Dragons?"

Someone was already shouting at Sieg on the execution platform.

Sig simply smiled at this.

"It seems there are still smart people in this world. The Pirate King's One Piece treasure contains his power, wealth, and fame..."

"As for my great treasure, it is indeed related to the secrets of the Celestial Dragons."

Sigra drew out his words, only saying half of what he meant.

"What is it? Tell me quickly!" someone couldn't help but urge.

Sieg's mind raced; he had only made up the lie on the spot and hadn't thought it through at all.

But now it seems that if he doesn't come up with a convincing lie, he'll be in a very awkward position.

"The secret of the Celestial Dragons..."

A thought flashed through Sieg's mind, and his heart pounded.
