I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"After Charlotte Linlin destroyed the Giant Village, I decided to expel Charlotte Linlin... and the nun offered to move to the Sheep House orphanage to take care of her."

"Who knew that not long after, the entire orphanage, including the nun, would disappear?" Shan Hu Zi said with some self-reproach.

The giants of Elbaf had a very good impression of the nun, and by extension, they treated Sieg, the fake priest, quite well as well.

The nun's disappearance also made Shan Hu Zi feel guilty and remorseful.

After a moment's thought, Sieg made a decision, and in a flash, a stack of documents appeared in his hand.

"Actually, I have a friend who is an admiral in the navy. He once obtained firsthand classified files from within the navy."

"This document concerns the Navy and... Sister Carmel."

Sieg took out a document and thoughtfully brought out a magnifying glass.

Sister Carmel is a two-faced person who says one thing in public and another in private; her true identity is a human trafficker known as "Yamaba."

Her human trafficking business targeted the Navy and the CP.

Although these files are all old news, a general with the authority to read them should not have any problem.

Before his identity was exposed, Higuma had reviewed the relevant documents and put the copies into his inventory.

This document is not unfounded; it contains detailed information about the time, place, and people involved in the transaction.

"The nun... is she a human trafficker? And even her stopping the World Government from executing those giants at the execution site was a charade put on for Elbaf in cooperation with the World Government?"

Shan Hu Zi shuddered. She struggled to decipher the documents, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

The old files in his hands instantly overturned this honest giant's perception.

"She took a liking to the giants because giants...they're easy to sell, they're hot commodities on the slave market," Sieg explained.

"At the same time, as an intermediary, they can also mediate the conflict between the giants and the World Government... From then on, many giant warriors joined the army and became elite vice admirals in the Navy."

"And Charlotte Linlin, who was born extraordinary, was also a rare find that she had her eye on."

After letting Shan Huzi digest the situation for a while, his attitude towards Sig improved considerably, and Sig took the opportunity to ask a question.

“Actually, a few nights ago, I seemed to see a jet-black dragon in the blizzard. Donley told me it was a Black Flame Dragon, and I want to know... what exactly is a Black Flame Dragon?” Sig asked.

Chapter 1191 The First Ancient Dragon (4k)

Mountain Beard is the oldest giant in all of Elbaf, and also the first captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates. He has sailed the seas before, and is not only old but also knowledgeable and highly respected.

After the shock of the nun's documents, Shan Huzi's attitude towards Sig became much more amiable.

"You're asking me about the Black Flame Dragon..." Mountain Beard's expression changed repeatedly, and he said in a trembling voice:

"It is said to be the first immortal ancient dragon in mythology, the ruler of the bottomless abyss, the world-devourer, the destroyer of destiny, the end of all things, the dragon of twilight and the end, Nidhogg who devours darkness..."

Sig: ......

He appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

"The original immortal ancient dragon?" Sieg repeated the word, his brow furrowing slightly.

The black flame dragon in Sig's memory was likely born more than twenty years ago from the spotted giant egg at the Roger Pirates' banquet.

This is only a little over twenty years. For giants with long lifespans of hundreds of years, this period of time is not even the time before they have passed their childhood. But Shan Hu Zi uses the phrase "the first immortal ancient dragon" to describe it.

"Actually, I've heard Dongli mention the Black Flame Dragon a little. It seems to be a mythical beast that suddenly appeared about ten years ago, right?" Sig probed.

"What does 'the first immortal ancient dragon' mean?"

"Could it be that there is more than one immortal ancient dragon? And that the Black Flame Dragon also appeared in the distant past?"

Shan Hu gave Sig a deep look, seemingly hesitating whether to speak, before finally saying:

"Ancient times are too distant for us. All I know is that dragons in the myths of giants are immortal and will appear in different eras."

"This was originally just a myth, and we never expected that it would become a reality more than ten years ago."

"Furthermore, I suspect... the appearance of the Mythical Beast Black Flame Dragon is likely related to the activities of an extremely dangerous individual," Mountain Beard said mysteriously.

"Who is it?" Sig became interested and serious.

After searching for so long, I finally found a single scale of the Black Flame Dragon.

“That person is…” Shan Huzi said earnestly.

"The supreme warrior who once pierced through the blood-stained serpent, the one who broke the boundary between myth and reality... the Mountain Bandit King, Higuma!"

Sig paused.

How did we end up back here again?

He subconsciously thought the old giant was teasing him, but after glancing at Violet beside him, the other woman gently shook her head, indicating that Mountain Beard was not lying and that this was his true thought.

He heard Shan Huzi continue:

"The black dragon that gnawed at the World Tree was originally just a creature from the mythology of the giants."

"Its appearance in this era is undoubtedly inseparable from that man's activities!"

Shan Hu Zi began to analyze the situation seriously:

"I have lived for a full four hundred years, and for the first three hundred years I have never heard of any Black Flame Dragon or any Jinchūriki."

"It was only after Sig began to become active that the idea of ​​Jinchuriki started to gain traction in the world, and the Black Flame Dragon, a mythical beast that should only exist in mythology, broke out of the ground in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!"

"That man is known as a demon in the outside world, and he is also the Jinchūriki of the Black Flame Dragon, inheriting the power of the Black Flame Dragon!"

"I think his ability to break through the Red Earth Continent, accomplishing what even our strongest giant warriors couldn't do, is most likely related to the Black Flame Dragon."

"The giants of Elbaf all believe that Rocks, the sea lord who led a large army to besiege Elbaf and plunged the entire giant race into a predicament, is the most dangerous person in decades."

"But in my opinion, the Black Flame Dragon's jinchūriki, the Mountain Bandit King Hig, is even more dangerous!"

Because of Black Flame Dragon, the giants, including Mountain Beard, were full of hostility towards him. This made him somewhat glad that he had come here disguised to gain favor.

As he listened, Sieg suddenly lost interest and the desire to continue the conversation.

This sight, as seen by Shan Huzi, made the old giant bristle and glare.

"Don't you believe me? I suspect the bandit king is already eyeing Elbaf and will probably attack us soon!"

"More than a month ago, the great pirate Senryo-do Buggy, who was once a member of the Pirate King's crew, appeared in the Elbaf Sea."

"It is said that Buggy has a close relationship with the Mountain Bandit King. The Mountain Bandit King is very fond of this junior. It is said that Buggy once joined forces with the Mountain Bandit King at the edge of the Calm Belt to defeat the Marines, the Sea Kings of the Calm Belt, and Hawkeye Mihawk in his early years."

The words spoken by Shan Huzi left Sig somewhat confused.

Something seems off... Since just now, a bunch of strange settings and rumors seem to have popped up?

“The Mountain Bandit King and the Pirate King are very close, and Buggy is very likely a henchman sent by the Mountain Bandit King, Higuma,” Mountain Beard said with certainty.

"Baki and Sig's true target might not be Elbaf," Mountain Beard said in a low voice, glancing out the window and murmuring, "but rather the Black Flame Dragon and..."

He suddenly realized something halfway through his sentence and quickly stopped talking.

The truth about the nun had just deeply shocked the old giant, causing him to lose his composure and blurt out a few words. However, he quickly recovered and immediately shut up.

After thanking Sieg, Shan Huzi made an excuse and left. Sieg did not try to stop him.

As for only saying half of what you mean? Sieg doesn't buy into that.

Although Shan Huzi stopped himself in time, he didn't finish his sentence.

But the unspoken words in his heart had already been revealed to Violet's gaze.

"The sentence that Shan Huzi didn't finish saying was..." Violet looked out the window at the distant, dark, iron-gray giant tree.

"Bucky and Sig's goal is the Black Flame Dragon and the Sky Island above the World Tree."

Shock flashed in Violet's eyes; she had no idea that Sky Island existed.

"Buggy the Clown seems to have appeared in the waters around the Giants for some reason, but Elbaf is not his real target. He seems to have eventually reached the Sky Island above the World Tree."

Pakistan?

Sieg shook his head.

The last time I met Bucky was more than a year ago at the Battle of Marineford, but there were too many people on the battlefield, and Bucky was not noticeable.

After the main force arrived in the New World, Bucky seemed to talk to Roger for a while before leaving on his own. Sig didn't pay much attention to Bucky at the time.

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

"The Sun Confession Room?"

Katakuri stood at the entrance of the orphanage and reached into his pocket to pull out a fragment of a Vivre Card.

The fragment of the Life Card was placed in the palm of the hand, but instead of drifting towards the orphanage in front of it, it drifted towards the royal city.

In the direction of the royal city, there is a large life card in the old woman's hand.

If there are no other Vivre Cards nearby to interfere, the Vivre Card fragment in Katakuri's hand will naturally drift towards Big Mom's large Vivre Card.

Now that we've arrived at the orphanage's gate, and the fragment of the Life Card in our hands still shows no unusual reaction, then this means...

"That woman didn't have BIGMOM's Vivre Card on her."

"I guessed wrong before; it seems there's another reason behind it."

This thought popped into Katakuri's mind.

He composed himself and strode into the orphanage ahead.

In the past few days, he has also conducted some investigations on everyone, including Solar the Sun Knight.

These days, the Sun Knight has opened the Sun Confession Room at the site of the old orphanage, providing psychological counseling and resolving the worries of the giants, and has a very good reputation.

The fame of the Sun Knight and the Confession Room even reached the Giant's City on this fasting day when there was little other entertainment, and several giants even traveled from the city to visit.

Katakuri did not act rashly, but instead observed from the shadows.

Solar the Sun Knight and the others around him were not famous bounty hunters; they were all unknown figures.

But the fact that they were able to appear in Elbaf on the day of the fast, get along well with the giants, and even once alarmed Big Mom and suppressed the Homies already demonstrates the extraordinary nature of the Sun Knights.

"It's most likely a fake identity; they must have some ulterior motive." Katakuri frowned slightly, thinking of the woman who could suppress the Homies.

So he decided to pay a visit this time, which was also a kind of test.

"Charlotte Katakuri, you say you've also come here because of my reputation, hoping to find me to help you with your troubles? That's quite a rare guest."
