I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

He vaguely recalled something that happened many years ago, when someone in the Holy Land pierced his chest through from behind with their hand, destroying his heart.

“It’s nothing.” Stussy withdrew his hand, his sapphire-like eyes flashing.

"It seems like you have a lot on your mind. If you don't mind, you can talk to me about it."

Sieg paused, but said nothing. Instead, he stood up and walked toward the door.

"Next time, definitely next time."

"Right now, I still have some things to take care of."

Pushing open the door, the sun shines brightly, the vast sea stretches out before you, and a new day begins.

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

Upon seeing Sieg appear, several people immediately approached.

"Sig, I have to go." Roger walked over and said goodbye.

Over the years, he traveled and reunited with his old comrades, and also learned about the secluded places of many of his former partners.

Although he currently only has Jabba by his side, he needs to reactivate the Roger Pirates to prepare for what's to come.

Whitebeard also indicated that he would lead his crew away, and that he would continue to gather his dozens of pirate crews.

“Mr. Sig, I also need to leave for a while,” Long Ye said.

The revolutionary army is a world-class force, with influence spanning five oceans and all parts of the world.

"However, with the Sea Kings and the Calm Belt, it shouldn't take too long." Dragon said, still marveling at the situation.

The Calm Belt is the nest of super-large sea kings, who gather here in clusters, as if deliberately forming a wall.

This place can be described as a forbidden zone for life.

However, the appearance of Neptune Shirahoshi brought about a complete upheaval in the Calm Sea.

For ordinary seafarers, what was the most dangerous thing about the New World?

Is he a pirate? A marine? A former Yonko (Emperor of the Sea)?

neither.

This ocean with its abnormal climate is itself the most dangerous place.

However, the Calm Belt is different. This sea area is calm and windless, and the only deadly threat is sea kings.

Now, even the Sea Kings have become an ally of the Revolutionary Army.

In other words, the current calm zone is very safe for the revolutionary army and even the entire Liangshan Marsh Alliance. It can even serve as a springboard for rapid navigation in the new world, and a bridge connecting the North Sea and the West Sea!

Immediately afterwards, another tall figure walked over.

“Sig, I have to apologize to you.” Neptune also arrived, and he gave Sig a deep look.

"I used to think you were a warmonger, even thinking of building dozens of Hades ships... It's nothing."

Neptune coughed lightly, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Sigurd, in the upcoming war between Liangshan Marsh and the World Government, our Fishman Island Dragon Palace Kingdom will also participate."

Sig: ?

He glanced at Neptune, his meaning clear.

Didn't Neptune Shirahoshi and other Sea Kings exist?

“This is different.” Neptune shook his head slightly.

"After yesterday, I realized something."

"The one who can represent Fish-Man Island, the Fish-Men and Mermaids, is not Shirahoshi, nor is it me, as their king..."

"But rather the people of Fishman Island themselves."

Neptune gave Sieg a long look.

"The Dragon Palace Kingdom of Fishman Island is not very strong; it is one of the weakest forces among the Liangshan Marsh."

"But if we want to fight for the right to live freely in the sunlight, we must rely on our own hands."

The bandit king Sig was renowned throughout the world. Neptune originally regarded Sig as a savior who had fulfilled the thousand-year-old wish of Fishman Island.

But after yesterday, he saw Sieg's humanity as a mortal.

The ancient weapon Sea King, which claims to possess the power to destroy and save the world and appears only once every few centuries, is not some kind of savior.

Neither Sieg nor Sieg.

To put it bluntly, Neptune naturally felt that with a tall person leading the way and carrying the flag, he might have thought about slacking off.

This is human nature. Just like when doing group work, usually only one or two people who are capable of doing the work are actually doing it, while the others are mainly responsible for slacking off.

Neptune said with a sigh:

"If the people do not actively participate in the struggle, they will only forever expect a savior to appear from heaven."

"This time, Fishman Island will not sit idly by and reap the benefits, nor will it hide behind a mermaid princess who has just come of age, or behind you."

The various righteous men who established Liangshan Marsh had different motives, but ultimately they all shared the same goal.

Further away, behind the crowd.

The bald man held a small red notebook in his hand and muttered something in a voice only he could hear.

Kro walked over from the side, looking somewhat dejected, his slicked-back hair slightly disheveled.

"Brother Baldy, I have something to ask you," Kro asked.

"What was the deeper meaning behind what Boss Sig said yesterday?"

"I thought about it all night, but I still couldn't figure it out."

The bald man glanced at Crow, then snapped his notebook shut and looked at Neptune, Roger, and the others in the distance.

“Did you hear what Neptune and the others just said? They understood everything yesterday,” the bald man said in a low voice.

"?" Kro was still somewhat confused.

"He's too clever for his own good." The bald man glanced at the small notebook in his hand.

The small notebook I carry with me is quite old, more than a decade old, with the paper showing signs of yellowing. The cover bears the large characters "Sig's Sayings".

"Boss Sig has already said what's on his mind."

“At this point, no further interpretation is needed.” The bald man’s hand trembled, and the small notebook that had been with him for more than ten years flew through the air in a long parabola before falling into the sea.

"You?" Kro looked surprised.

"If I remember correctly, you've been writing in this notebook for over ten years, haven't you?"

“It doesn’t matter anymore…” the bald man said in a low voice.

Kro gritted his teeth, his figure flashed, and he dashed away like lightning, leaping straight into the water... Then he thrashed about for a moment before sinking heavily to the bottom of the sea.

In the heat of the moment, he forgot that he was also a user of the Swamp Gas Fruit.

"Crow has fallen into the water!" someone immediately exclaimed.

Soon, the fishman Arlong jumped into the sea, picked up the drowning Kro, and carried him back to the shore. The drowning Kro still had the little notebook in his hand.

"Why are you so agitated?" The bald man was a little speechless.

He tapped his shiny forehead lightly with his finger:

"This is no longer important... because I've already memorized it."

Kro: ......

He held the soaking wet notebook in his hands, speechless.

“At this point, none of that matters anymore.” The bald man turned and looked at Sig in the distance:

"His actions over the years have been the very embodiment of this grand plan to overturn the world."

"And now... the time has come."

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

Everyone was busy with their own tasks, preparing for the upcoming war.

Although the Calm Belt is a place that the World Government cannot pay attention to for the time being, the World Government does have Seastone warships that can pass through the Calm Belt, so it is not a safe house for them. They all have a sense of urgency.

After seeing Roger and the others off, Sig left and found Dr. Vegapunk working on the Dushan Laboratory.

"Sigurd? What brings you here? Are you already prepared to travel to ancient times?" Vegapunk asked curiously.

He has always longed to return to ancient times.

Although he knew he could not change the established history, as long as he possessed some necessary information, or even the technology of ancient kingdoms, it would be of great benefit to the present and the future.

“Before that, there is one more thing.” Sig took out the golden pen from his pocket.

Also appearing in his hand was a deformed leaf.

The Padon in Sig's hand is just a simulation of the ability user. Although it is not as good as the original, it can still create transforming leaves.

Sieg picked up his pen to write, but Vegapunk stared at the pen in Sieg's hand, a look of surprise on his face:

"This is... the Cat-Cat Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Tanuki form? Golden Pen Pad?"

“You know?” Sig was a little surprised.

Vegapunk nodded:

"The technology that allows inanimate objects to eat Zoan-type Devil Fruits originated from me."

"And this pen was part of an experimental project I led when I was in the World Government... but it was later stolen by a great pirate."

“Alright, that saves me the trouble of explaining.” Sieg picked up his gold pen and wrote two words on the leaf.

Laptop computer.

With a thud, a laptop computer that he had used in his previous life appeared in Sieg's hand.

This laptop is a heavy gaming laptop, with a substantial feel in your hand. It was his research tool in the Elder Scrolls lab in his previous life, when he conducted experiments with a scientific spirit.

He skillfully held it in his hand and examined its feel; it was exactly the same as Sig remembered.
