I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"We can give Sieg a more impressive name and make a big splash!"

"Sigu calls himself the Mountain Bandit King and has entered the Grand Line to roam the seas, so let's just call him... the Sea Mountain Bandit King!"

Morgans had barely finished speaking when his eyebrows twitched, and he reached for the news draft, taking a closer look.

"Is this woman one of Sig's men?"

Morgans pointed to a blonde woman at the edge of the open space in the photograph.

He suddenly felt that the woman in the photo looked slightly familiar.

"It's been checked. This woman's name is Stussy, and she is indeed Sieg's subordinate."

"Stusi? Is it a name the same as someone else's?"

News King Morgans and Pleasure Street Queen Stussy are both kings of the underworld, and they have some connection with each other.

However, upon closer inspection, the woman in the photo is vastly different from the noblewoman-like dark world queen that Morgans had in mind.

Makeup, clothing, and overall demeanor are all completely different.

The woman in the photo is pretty but dressed plainly, looking more like an ordinary cleaning maid.

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

The Navy’s new bounty, along with the World Economic News, spread the news rapidly across the five oceans.

This major incident in the East China Sea made the name of Sig known to almost half the world.

A bounty of 400 million is not low; even in the first half of the Grand Line, such a bounty would make him one of the most notorious pirates.

When Sigurd caused this incident, he hadn't even entered the Grand Line yet.

"The pirate king Higuma has already amassed a bounty of 400 million in the East Blue, doubling the highest bounty in the East Blue... What will happen when such a figure enters the Grand Line?"

"And this Buggy who suddenly appeared? He's a former crew member of the Pirate King? If it weren't for Higuma, this former crew member of the Pirate King would be the most wanted criminal in the East Blue."

"The world's greatest swordsman duel! What exactly happened in Loguetown that day? Both Siegfried and Hawkeye claim they lost? That's strange."

"It's such a pity I didn't get to witness this great battle in person..."

"Sig must have lost, right? If he had won, he would have become the new world's greatest swordsman. How could he only have a bounty of 400 million?"

"That makes sense... but this Higuma is definitely no pushover either. I heard that Crocodile, another Shichibukai, couldn't do anything to Higuma at all..."

More than Sieg's achievements, his words on the execution platform stirred up countless emotions.

"The Great Treasure of the East Blue Mountain Bandit King! It is said that he plundered the Celestial Dragons' treasury in the Holy Land, and the treasures inside are enough to easily buy several countries!"

"Besides the treasure, it's also related to an ancient weapon capable of destroying the world, a treasure that even the Celestial Dragons consider a national treasure..."

Whether it's ancient weapons or the so-called national treasures of the Celestial Dragons, their existence is shrouded in mystery and remains a secret.

However, after the events in Loguetown, this secret was revealed to the public through a question-and-answer session between Crocodile and Sig.

Many people have thus turned their attention to the Red Line, harboring the idea of ​​digging for treasure there.

But many more great pirates chuckled coldly and silently remembered the name Sig.

The bandit king who left behind the great treasure is still alive and well!

"Anotherpiece? Who would be foolish enough to search for a needle in a haystack on the Red Line? Isn't there an easier way?"

"Capture Sig alive, and even without going to the Red Line, we can still get a total bounty of 800 million!"

While Sig's Another Piece has made him a hot topic worldwide recently, it hasn't ushered in any so-called era of great bandits.

Instead, it attracted the attention of many powerful forces and pirates who coveted the Celestial Dragons' national treasures or ancient weapons, leading them to set their sights on Higuma.

Red Earth Continent.

This is the most vast and expansive continent in the entire world, and also the highest in altitude.

At the very center of this continent lies the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, inhabited by the Celestial Dragons.

But beyond the Holy Land, there were vast areas inhabited by slaves, laborers, artisans, merchants, and others who served the Holy Land...

This is the closest place to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, and its safety level far surpasses that of the rest of the world.

The news of Another Piece didn't send pirates to the Red Line to become bandits, but it did stir up the minds of the Red Line's inhabitants.

They watched as the World Government's search teams began searching for the so-called treasure in the Red Line mountains.

"There was indeed a theft more than 20 years ago... Did the bandit king really hide the One Piece deep in the mountains?"

"A strongman who can rival the world's greatest swordsman wouldn't lie, would he?"

The world government went to such great lengths that they initially didn't believe it, but gradually some of them changed their minds.

Gradually, residents began to abandon their original lives and become treasure hunters deep in the mountains...

These illegal treasure hunters are actually regarded as bandits by the world government.

that's it.

In the Red Line, the scattered flames of banditry were ignited.

Perhaps one day, a single spark can start a prairie fire.

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

One morning in the East China Sea.

Frostmoon Village, the Pure Land Dojo.

"Zoro!"

An angry girl's voice suddenly rang out in the Isshin Dojo.

An enraged girl named Kuina, wielding a chainsaw, chased a green-haired child all over the dojo.

"Zoro, did you secretly touch my chainsaw?"

"I didn't do it! I didn't!"

Zoro ran with a wooden sword in his mouth, shouting indistinctly.

"You dare to lie!"

Guina pointed to the prominent teeth mark on the handle of the chainsaw.

Chapter 143 I Want a Peaceful Life

"I...I just wanted to see if I could hold a chainsaw in my mouth and use it as a knife..."

Zoro's voice grew softer and softer.

He saw the girl holding a chainsaw, gradually cornering him...

"Zoro, why are you running away? Let's have our 3000th duel..."

Kuina turned on the chainsaw without any expression.

Buzzing...

"Kuina!"

Koushirou had appeared beside him at some point, his expression somewhat complicated as he squinted at his daughter.

"Kuina, you are free to become the world's number one female swordsman. If you can do it, there will be no problem for you to inherit the Isshin Dojo."

"But you have to give up the so-called chainsaw style! Girls carrying chainsaws, that's just outrageous!"

At this moment, Koushirou's face did not have his usual gentle smile, and his tone was very serious.

However, this time Kuina was not frightened by Koushirou.

“Father, Uncle Sieg has proven that the chainsaw path is viable.”

"He is a man who can rival Hawkeye Mihawk for the title of the world's greatest swordsman."

Instead, Kuina gripped the chainsaw tighter and said with a serious expression.

“But everyone else says Hawkeye Mihawk won,” Zoro chimed in from the side.

Koushirou frowned deeply:

“Sig used the straight-bladed longsword I forged during the battle, not the chainsaw.”

"Regardless of who wins or loses, this is a contest between swordsmen, and there is nothing to do with chainsaws."

However, Guina didn't listen at all; instead, her eyes lit up like a shining star.

"This is the result because Uncle Sieg didn't use the chainsaw sword."

"After all, once the chainsaw is unleashed, it's either death or serious injury!"

“If Uncle Sieg really used the chainsaw sword, then Hawkeye Mihawk wouldn’t be in this situation,”

Koushiro:..........

"No matter what, you can't use a chainsaw! Go practice your swordsmanship properly! How can you inherit the Isshin Dojo if you use a chainsaw?"

Koushirou's gentle and soft-spoken manner was gone; his voice was a little cold.

"I will continue to practice the Isshin-ryu swordsmanship, but I will also continue to practice the chainsaw sword!"

Kuina remained stubborn and went away with Zoro.

Koushirou stared blankly at the receding figures of the two children.

One of them was holding three wooden swords.

One of them had a wooden knife slung over his waist and a chainsaw in his hand.

A sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.

The two most outstanding disciples in the Isshin Dojo, one calls himself the Three-Sword Style and the other calls himself the Chainsaw Style.

It's just that it doesn't have the same flow technique as his teaching.

All of this is thanks to that man...

Koushirou sighed and walked towards the depths of the dojo, to the small pavilion.
