I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Chapter 1190 The Sun Priest 4k

The world was as dark as night, and snowflakes were falling.

The golden lion seemed to have left, and the blizzard had subsided considerably, but the night was still not over.

The giantess, Gels, walked alone through the village, her ten-meter-long legs traversing the thick snow as she headed towards the orphanage on the outskirts of the village.

The 12-day fast was similar to the hibernation of wild animals; most of the giants hid at home, and few went out.

The orphanage wasn't far, but Geers walked very slowly, taking almost half an hour to walk that short distance. She even lingered and hesitated for quite a while in front of the orphanage.

Gehrs is not an orphan.

But when the nun established the Lamb's Home orphanage in Elbaf sixty years ago, she was also a childhood playmate of orphans including Charlotte Linlin.

Over the years, few visitors from other places have come to the village, and among those who came to the orphanage during the Winter Solstice Festival, this is the only one.

Standing before the orphanage again, childhood memories resurfaced, and Gehrs hesitated for a long time.

"He seems to be like a nun, maybe he could..."

With a creak.

The wooden door of the house was pushed open, and a blond man in a robe carrying a cross stepped out, staring intently at the giantess outside the door.

“So, you are the first lost sheep in the Sun’s Confessions?” he said softly.

"Come in with me."

After indirectly witnessing the appearance of the Black Flame Dragon yesterday, Sig felt a sense of urgency and made a decision.

To get more information from the giants, you need to improve their favorability and eliminate their hostility towards outsiders.

Unfortunately, it was during the fasting period, and the giants rarely went out. If he were to be too proactive in visiting and getting close to them, it might provoke hostility. So he built the Sun Confession Room and tried to make his presence known.

The nun's orphanage was built with the help of giants, so the buildings are also giant-sized, very tall, and even giants can squeeze into them.

The giantess Gers followed Sieg into the room, sat down with her knees drawn up to her chest, and looked around.

A bright fire blazed on the pile of firewood in the fireplace, crackling occasionally, and a gentle warmth enveloped the room.

Besides Sieg, there were two other people in the room: Violet and Baldy.

An orphanage is not a church, and a confessional is not a closed, dark room; it's just a place for heart-to-heart talks.

“You seem to have something on your mind. It often makes you feel better to talk about it with someone.” Sig’s gaze swept over Gers a few times.

Sieg shifted his gaze from Geers, turned his back, and looked out the glass window at the long night.

"The sun's rays can illuminate all things, shining brightly."

"I am not the sun, and I may not be able to help you much, but at least I can give you some light and warmth. Let me listen to your heart, and it may make you feel a little better."

Sieg turned his head, his voice becoming gentle and infectious, like a loving father patiently guiding a child, making people subconsciously lower their guard.

His hypnotic abilities stemmed from Zango's Hypnotic Mushroom and his subsequent advanced studies in hypnosis at the Naval Library.

Even without directly using a hypnosis ring, subtle psychological suggestions can still be achieved through verbal dialogue.

"So, is it trouble related to friends?" Sig said softly.

"...How did you know?" Gers's eyes went unfocused for a few seconds.

“I noticed it on the first day of the Winter Solstice Festival, probably when I met the old lady,” Sig said slowly.

He glanced at Violet and Baldy beside him.

The violet can see through people's hearts and see through lies, while the bald man's Whisper Fruit can connect with each other and communicate their innermost thoughts.

“BIGMOM… no, I really don’t understand Lingling’s behavior,” Geers said.

"The Lingling I saw a few days ago was completely different from the Lingling of sixty years ago."

“I had always wanted to meet her, but when I actually saw her yesterday, I didn’t even have the courage to go up to her.”

Recalling the old woman who went berserk in the square a few days earlier, Gers still felt a little lingering fear.

Solar, the Sun Knight, was a complete stranger, and with her nun-like aura of clergy, she was a good listener. Gers finally began to open up, recounting events from many years ago.

"One day, after witnessing a fight between a bear and a wolf in the forest, she thought it was Mr. Bear and Mr. Wolf fighting, so she defeated both beasts and put them in a cage to let them get along."

"Of course... When she woke up the next day, the wolf had already been eaten by the bear. She was so angry that she slapped the bear, which smashed the cage on the spot, and the bear was killed as well."

The bears and wolves that Gers mentioned are ferocious beasts that inhabit Elbaf, and their size is incomparable to the wild animals of other islands.

She was using this small example to illustrate Charlotte Linlin's special circumstances and personality:

"You might not believe it, but the brutal Yonko Big Mom in the eyes of the outside world has always been a kind-hearted but impatient child in my eyes. Although he sometimes does bad things because of his excessive power, his intentions are always good."

"For an orphan who was abandoned by his biological parents at the age of 5, it is already extremely difficult to maintain a kind heart."

"Without the nun's guidance, such a person would become one of the Four Emperors."

"So even though some unpleasant things happened later, I always wanted to see her again, until a few days ago... I realized I was wrong."

Gehrs's face turned slightly pale.

"She is the dangerous Yonko Big Mom; the innocent child from her childhood is long gone."

Sieg didn't interrupt, but quietly listened as Geers vented her emotions.

Only then did he finally speak.

"Gels, I remember you were the ship's doctor for the Giant Warrior Pirates, right?"

Sig glanced at the menacing giant axe, several meters long, behind Gels.

Although she was a ferocious giant wielding a giant axe, she was actually a ship's doctor.

Sig first used one of his Luffy Cards to switch to his fictional doctor persona.

Wang Luffy Card is a card from a Zhihu user, which can create 244 fictional personalities with an average Zhihu user level.

These personalities have limited power and lack extraordinary strength. Their combat abilities don't reach the level of the average superhuman in the One Piece world, but their individual professional skills are so strong it's almost unbelievable.

After the personality switch, Sig's aura changed slightly.

“Since you’re a doctor, you should know about multiple personality disorder, right?” Sieg asked softly.

Gals nodded, a little puzzled.

"Judging from the information you just revealed, Charlotte Linlin seems to have multiple personality disorder... This is just my personal opinion, take it with a grain of salt."

Sieg continued:

"On a fasting day more than sixty years ago, Charlotte Linlin, who was extremely hungry, suffered her first food craving. She lost her mind and destroyed the giant village by herself, killing the giant hero Waterfall Mustache."

"But when she woke up the next day, she had no recollection of her actions."

"This is a rare and difficult-to-treat condition known as food cravings... but perhaps there is no such thing as food cravings at all," Sieg concluded.

"During the fasting period, the excessive hunger caused the emergence of a secondary personality... Considering her abandonment by her biological parents, this may not be the first time a secondary personality has emerged."

"That's why she was completely unaware of the atrocities committed by her alter ego when she woke up the next day."

Gals was taken aback; it was the first time she had ever heard such a statement.

"Similarly, the Lamb House orphanage later disappeared en masse, including Sister Carmel and all the other orphans. Charlotte Linlin was the only survivor."

"The nun's sudden disappearance should have been a huge blow to Charlotte Linlin, the only surviving orphan."

"But Charlotte Linlin, just like before, has completely forgotten the specific details of that incident..."

Sigurd, recalling the amnesiac version of O-Rin from Wano Country in the original work, continued:

"Perhaps her primary personality remained in her childhood, while the one who was later guided by pirates to become one of the Four Emperors and reach the pinnacle of the pirate world was another personality."

"...It seems to make sense?" Gers looked thoughtful, her tightly furrowed brows unconsciously relaxing.

Compared to her childhood friend going astray and becoming one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, this idea of ​​multiple personalities is more acceptable to her.

What she didn't know was that Sieg possessed more information than she imagined.

The so-called multiple personality disorder theory is actually deduced backward from Ah Ling's existence.

In an ordinary person, this might be considered multiple personality disorder. But in the case of a Soul-Soul Fruit user, a more accurate description would be... multiple souls?

“Thank you, Father, I feel much better.” The giant, Geers, stood up again.

"Since they are patients, they should be able to be cured one day."

Gals pushed open the door and left.

It was still a long night outside, and the wind and snow were still blowing. She strode into the snow, but her steps were no longer hesitant.

Although the theory of multiple personality disorder is just one unproven claim, it gave her, the ship's doctor, a direction.

On the second floor of the orphanage, Ah Ling stood on the balcony, quietly watching Geers's departing figure, remaining silent for a long time.

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

Gals was the first visitor to the Sun Confessions.

This heart-to-heart talk was quite effective, helping Geers out of her confusion. She called Sieg "Father" and spoke highly of the Sun Confession Room.

During the 12-day fast, the giants had very little entertainment and spent most of their time at home, reducing physical activity.

The existence of the Sun Confession Chamber aroused the curiosity of many giants about the Sun Knights, who were from out of town.

This was just a low-energy conversation, but it naturally aroused the interest of many giants.

In the following days, waves of new visitors entered the Sun Confession Room.

With Violet's insightful observations, Baldy's ability to deliver whispers, and Sieg's fictional doctor persona, his psychological treatments are quite effective.

Even if they say nothing, simply being a stranger and a listener makes the giants feel much more at ease.

On the fifth day, a special visitor arrived.

“Father, I have something to say.”

The 400-year-old giant, Mountain Beard, squeezed into the confessional and stared longingly at Sig in front of him.

Sieg was a bit taken aback. He could be on equal footing with Roger Whitebeard, but being called "father" by this three or four hundred-year-old man felt really strange.

Shan Hu Zi, however, didn't have so many ulterior motives, and he began to recount his past in a long, rambling manner.
