I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Think about it, why did Sig appear in God Valley disguised as Dracula? Why did he obtain the badge from Rocks? Why did he, who is usually so cunning, appear to be seriously injured and pale-faced during such a major event as God Valley, even though he seemed to have done nothing?"

Phoenix Palace's questions echoed in the living room, stunning the admiral, naval hero, and former marshal, who were all taken aback and their expressions changed drastically.

Clearly, Sieg is highly suspicious.

just now.

The mist that had enveloped Sieg seemed to have dissipated.

However, the glimpse of the truth revealed amidst the fog left Sengoku and the others momentarily stunned.

He sat blankly in the chair, his eyes somewhat vacant.

"Could Lox really be Sieg?"

Garp's expression became even more bizarre: "The one who fought me and Roger at God Valley that day was actually Sig?"

Karp frowned, vaguely recalling something from a long, long time ago.

He recalled the battle at God Valley, where Rocks used "Planetary Devastation" to separate him and Roger, charging alone towards the pillar of light descending from the sky. His silhouette at that moment began to overlap with the silhouette of the mountain bandit king who caught Uranus single-handedly during the Marineford War...

He recalled his first encounter with Sig in the Goa Kingdom of the East Blue, when Sig appeared to be severely injured, unable to stand steadily, yet displaying a strange and imposing demeanor.

“It really is him…” Garp said in a trembling voice, “I remember now…”

"It's definitely him! He is Sieg!"

Chapter 1226 What is a Movie Emperor? (4k)

"That makes sense, it must be him!"

Garp's expression became somewhat excited, and he clenched his fists inwardly.

At that moment, he suddenly didn't know what kind of expression to make.

Garp's resume is quite unusual, with deep connections to both Rocks and Sieg.

The key to his being called a naval hero was actually his teamwork with Roger during the God Valley Incident, which stopped Rocks and saved the Celestial Dragons and their slaves.

This event has since been lost to history. People only know him as a naval hero who repeatedly cornered the Pirate King. But in the end, Garp's name as a hero originated from God Valley.

Therefore, Garp was both a participant in the God Valley War who faced Rocks directly, and the first Marine to come into contact with Sigmund decades later.

Even those who experienced the Karp incident firsthand have such doubts, which undoubtedly greatly increases the credibility of Phoenix Palace's account.

"Is... this really possible?"

Sengoku's voice was also a little hoarse, and he looked blank, as if his worldview had collapsed at this moment.

Who was Rocks?

Rocks, a once-mighty pirate who reigned supreme in the New World, was the first to attempt to seize the throne of the world.

That era was called Lox.

The Rocks Pirates were undoubtedly the strongest pirate crew, and Rocks was the strongest person in the world at the time, being the first and strongest nemesis of the Pirate King Roger.

Of the Four Emperors of this era, three were once subordinates of Rocks.

At that time, his ship also had a host of great pirates, including King Sieg, Golden Lion, Silver Axe, and Captain John.

Despite the current power of the Four Emperors, who can rival the Navy in the New World, they are still no match for the once-mighty dream team of the Rocks Pirates.

In that bygone era, Rocks commanded countless generals and once reached the pinnacle of the sea, seeking to challenge the World Government.

Although Rocks's efforts were ultimately in vain and his untimely death made his influence less than that of the later Pirate King Roger, people like Sengoku and Garp, who had experienced the Rocks era, knew how terrifying that man was.

And now, Phoenix Palace is actually telling him... that all of this is fake!

Just like the former Admiral Higuma, the so-called sea tyrant Rocks is just another character played by Seagull!

How could the Warring States period possibly believe this?

At that moment, he seemed to hear the sound of his worldview collapsing, and in a daze, faces appeared around him.

Rocks, Wang Xige, Higuma, Dracula, Roger, and others strolled over and surrounded him, then laughed and revealed their true identities, asking him if he was surprised or not...

"How is that possible? Rocks wasn't just any ordinary pirate!" Sengoku clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, and shook his head in protest.

"Back in the old days, he was the only man to ever defeat Siegfried..."

Halfway through his sentence, Zhan Guo's brows furrowed deeper and deeper; he vaguely felt that he had seen this script somewhere before.

Did Rocks defeat Sieg?

As luck would have it, two years ago, someone else defeated Siegfried and became famous overnight, enjoying immense popularity.

His name is...

Japanese bear.

Sengoku's eyes widened suddenly, and at that moment he felt a chill that penetrated to his very bones.

This script is quite different!

After all, the actors are probably all the same person!

A similar scenario had already been played out by Siegfried decades ago, and they had been kept in the dark all along.

“There are two more…” Phoenix Palace calmly pulled a document from the pile of files on the desk and put it into her pocket:

"Yes, just a little bit more."

"It is said that the highest level of Conqueror's Haki is the resonance between heaven and earth, which is outwardly manifested as the sound of war drums, representing a further step in the pressure of Conqueror's Haki."

"And there are only three people in history who have demonstrated this effect."

"They are Sig, Sun Bear, and Locus."

Zhan Guo sat blankly in his chair, his mind a bit of a mess.

"Conqueror's Haki has a supreme level called 'Resonance with Heaven and Earth,' which I remember Zephyr mentioned before," Garp muttered to himself.

There are almost no people in the Navy who possess Conqueror's Haki, so they are not actually that familiar with this power.

"So, how did Zephyr find out about this?" Phoenix Palace asked again.

"Is...is it Rocks?" Garp's expression changed again.

"It was Rocks himself who said it..."

Phoenix Palace, ignoring their shock, silently wrote the name "Sigurd" on the blackboard, and then, with Sigurd as the center, wrote the names "Rocks," "King Sigurd," "Dracula," "Roger," and "Sun Bear" in that order.

Then, she would point out the historical events corresponding to each name one by one, helping the Warring States period and others to sort out a clear timeline and the internal logic between the events.

"After the battle at God Valley, Sigurd nearly died under the Heavenly King and suffered severe injuries. He could only escape the scene by transforming into Dracula and completely abandon his identity as Rocks."

"In the years that followed, he appeared very rarely. Perhaps, like the Pirate King Roger who was once terminally ill, his body gradually declined and he was no longer as powerful as he once was."

From then on, Sieg retreated behind the scenes.

"The Pirate King died a glorious death in Loguetown. His death ushered in the Great Pirate Era. His name is still known throughout the world, far surpassing all other pirates, including Rocks. He is truly unprecedented."

"Meanwhile, the Mountain Bandit King quietly orchestrated his schemes behind the scenes of history. He stole treasures from the Holy Land's treasury, he secretly placed the Anotherpiece on the Red Line, he planned the execution in Loguetown, and he walked the world in the shadows without making a sound..."

"He lived in seclusion for many years, and the world almost forgot his former names, 'Lox' and 'Wang Sieg'."

Phoenix Palace drew an arrow on the blackboard, pointing from King Sieg to Sieg.

"After that, it's the story of Higuma, the bandit king of the East Blue Mountain."

“And the starting point of this story, the place where it all began…” Phoenix Palace looked up at Garp.

“It’s the tavern in Windmill Village.” Karp gritted his teeth.

"He had a secret meeting with Shanks, one of Roger's old men, in Windmill Village. That's where it all started!"

“The original Sig was obviously not as powerful as he is now, but he had seen the view from the top, so he naturally had an extraordinary spirit.”

Sengoku seemed to be deep in thought, and continued speaking, picking up where Garp left off:

"Roger is suffering from an incurable disease, and Sieg has been a frail, reclusive man for many years..."

"The secret meeting with Shanks was a beginning, perhaps a sign that he and Roger had found a way to heal themselves."

"After going to sea, his physical condition improved, and his strength returned. Until both of them recovered?"

Phoenix Palace watched Sengoku and Garp in silence.

Her previous speculations were based on inferences drawn from a wealth of information and evidence, while these from the Warring States period can only be considered conjecture.

That's all for now.

The mist that had enveloped Sieg dissipated.

But... if there's one, there's two, but will there be a third?

Over the long years, did Sieg play any other roles that are still unknown at the time?

The unknown is the greatest fear.

After the fog cleared, even more fog shrouded their hearts.

During his time in office, Sengoku and Sieg had been locked in a long-standing rivalry, and Sengoku knew Sieg was a cunning and scheming opponent. However, today's intelligence completely overturned their impression of Sieg...

They are naval heroes, former admirals, knowledgeable, determined, and fearless.

No amount of military force could sway these veterans who were determined and upheld the principles of justice.

But Sieg's actions instilled a chilling coldness in the Warring States period.

Sengoku's gaze fell on Phoenix Palace, the dense writing on the blackboard, and the stacks of documents on the desk, his expression complex.

Today, his impression of Sieg has undergone a complete transformation.

But the Celestial Dragon Phoenix also impressed Sengoku.

The God Valley Incident occurred 38 years ago, during the Rocks era.

The stabbing of Dracula occurred even earlier, several years earlier.

This historical information has long been forgotten by the world, and the time span is too great, making it extremely difficult to investigate the historical truth of decades ago.

Only the most powerful intelligence agency, CP0, and the World Government could possibly uncover these historical events, a fact that former Fleet Admiral Sengoku was well aware of.

Of course, having information is not enough.
