I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

A large portion of the navy is just slacking off; they only put on a show of strength on the surface.

However, now, whether the navy is truly pursuing or feigning a pursuit, no one is watching anymore.

The sand crocodile's previous attacks, coupled with the massive sandstorm that swept through half the town, had already caused everyone who had been watching the spectacle to flee in terror; they had all vanished without a trace.

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

Port of Rogge.

Having finally boarded the pirate ship, Sigurd gazed at the distant marines on the shore and breathed a sigh of relief.

The five-minute 100% evasion ability was almost used up by the time the conversation with the sand crocodile ended.

When the sandstorm dissipated, Sig had actually lost the ability to dodge.

Fortunately, the navy did not continue the pursuit, otherwise Sig would have had to... use up another precious use.

The Iruma Card has a total of 5 uses, and one has already been used here, which can be considered a successful rescue.

However, the side effects also gave Sieg a headache.

"Boss Sig, everyone's here except Miss Stussy. We'll..."

The bald man next to him reported.

At the edge of the port area, Stussy can be seen still locked in a fierce battle with Peach Rabbit, seemingly doing a good job of covering the rear.

Hmm? Stussy hasn't arrived yet?

Sieg gave the order decisively:

"Set sail! Towards the Grand Line! You need not worry about Stussy's strength!"

The order had just been given when the pirate ship weighed anchor, but Sig's expression was not good.

He saw that at that very moment, Stussy broke free from the navy and began to chase after him, using Moonwalk to his advantage.

Chapter 136 The Axe King's Righteous Backstab

Sig's pirate ship has left the docks of Loguetown and is sailing towards Reverse Mountain.

At this moment, on the deck, all the bandits looked at Stusi with a sense of awe.

Stussy had been through a fight and had several large and small wounds on his body, making him look a bit disheveled.

The cuffs of her sleeves were torn slightly, revealing a small portion of her slender, fair arms.

Who would have thought that this cleaner on the pirate ship could actually use those two seemingly slender arms to block Momousagi's slashes?

"Stusi, come with me."

With his hands behind his back, Sieg walked into the cabin first.

This simple sentence sent a shiver down Stussy's spine.

Following Sieg inside, she saw him sit down in a chair, gently tapping the armrest, and looking at her calmly.

"Stusi, you've been quite proactive this time..."

Sieg said in a flat tone.

He was initially reluctant to associate with Stussydo; if he were to slip up in the face of this dangerous woman, Sieg would likely be done for.

However, their recent victory in Loguetown should be enough to intimidate Stusky.

The addition of the Iruma Card gave Sigurd some confidence.

"Well, besides cleaning, I feel I should do more..."

Stussy looked at Sieg with a sincere expression and gazed intently into his eyes.

"Really? You did a good job this time."

A faint smile appeared on Sieg's face.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked out the porthole, and said calmly:

"But you and Momousagi seem to get along quite well..."

Out of the corner of his eye, Sieg caught a glimpse of a surprised look on Stussy's face. Stussy tilted his head, looking somewhat bewildered.

"Mr. Sig?"

Stussy seemed not to have understood what Sieg meant at all.

This made Sieg uneasy, but on the surface, he smiled slightly and looked directly at Stussy:

"fine."

"You go down first."

As he watched Stussy leave the cabin, Sieg frowned slightly.

He remained wary of Stussy.

Especially when Sieg was trapped in Crocodile's sandstorm, isolated from the outside world by the sandstorm, he was always worried that this CP0 undercover agent might have some contact with the Navy.

However, Stussy's acting was impeccable, and Sieg never noticed anything amiss.

He noticed something unusual about the peach rabbit.

Stussy is an award-winning actress, but this Lieutenant General Momousagi is not.

Momousagi is a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters and a future admiral candidate, but after being entangled with Stussy for so long, Stussy seems to have only suffered minor injuries.

Another point is that when the sandstorm subsided and Momousagi ordered the Navy to feign pursuit, Sieg noticed out of the corner of his eye that Momousagi's gaze briefly fell on Stussy.

Of course, this highlight is just speculation; Sieg was just trying to trick Stussy.

Judging from Stussy's performance, Sieg still couldn't make an accurate judgment.

"This woman is truly terrifying..."

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

the other side.

In Stussy's room.

A fine layer of sweat involuntarily appeared on her forehead.

"Was I really taking too much of a risk this time?"

"Did he really find out? Or is he just using a trick to deceive me?"

Stussy couldn't help but recall a few details from his time in Loguetown.

Upon arriving in Loguetown, Sieg immediately declared that he would give her freedom.

When she volunteered to cover their retreat, Sieg's pace quickened subtly, as if he were deliberately leaving her behind.

At the time, she thought it was a good opportunity...

In retrospect, these two anomalies seem like traps, deliberately creating an opportunity for Stusi to exchange information with Momousagi.

Siegfried's behavior when facing Crocodile was also very strange.

They only dodge, never retaliate.

It was practically like he was showing off his Observation Haki level.

Observation Haki is an ability that can sharpen the five senses. Given Sigurd's astonishing performance, it's not impossible that he could have noticed Stussy's subtle movements.

The key point is that since Stussy boarded the ship, she had never seen Sieg display such an ability, yet he suddenly showed off this ability when she was secretly passing on information.

"Is this something he's doing for me? Is he implying that he's noticed my behavior, but he's not stopping me?"

"Sig deliberately allowed me to pass on intelligence? Was this something he anticipated?"

The more I thought about it, the more chaotic my thoughts became.

Having personally experienced Sieg's many layers of schemes, Stussy now sees every action of his as shrouded in mystery.

..........

After a period of time.

Sig, sitting in the captain's cabin, suddenly felt a noticeable jolt beneath his feet, as if the ship had sped up considerably.

"Ocean currents? Is it nearing Upside Down Mountain?"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Sieg heard a commotion outside.

Stepping outside, they saw bandits on the deck, weapons in hand, surrounding the two men with mocking expressions.

The two men stood back to back, holding knives, confronting the bandits, but they all seemed outwardly fierce but inwardly weak.

Johnny and Joseph?

Sig was taken aback.

"Boss Sig, those two bounty hunters actually tried to escape!"

"Not only did they run away, they even made it to the town square of Loguetown. If Monka hadn't discovered them, these two would probably have really gotten away."

"Our ship caught a current heading towards Upside Down Mountain, which woke up those two unconscious guys..."

Upon seeing Sig approach, one of the bandits offered an explanation.

"Monka betrayed them again? And brought these two back again? Is he addicted to it?"

Sieg was taken aback.

He knocked the two bounty hunters unconscious and brought them aboard the ship, simply because he was afraid they would reveal his identity; it was a last resort.

Many things happened in Rogge afterward, and he completely forgot about those two people.

But to their surprise, they ended up back on Sieg's ship.

"The God of Swords and the Saint of Blades... what good are they?"

The thought had just crossed Sieg's mind when his expression suddenly changed slightly.

He saw a burly, blond man with a giant axe silently circle behind Johnny and Joseph once again at the edge of the crowd.

After two dull thuds, the Sword Saint and the Blade God were knocked unconscious for the third time.
