I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Chapter 1298 Prejudice in People's Hearts is a Mountain 7000

When Sigurd left the Navy and once again donned the crown of the Mountain Bandit King, he became the Mountain Bandit King.

Admiral Higuma, Dracula the Impaler, and Sigmar the Great from a parallel world represent different paths Sigmar took in different environments.

Dracula changed his face and his name, so he could act recklessly and without any sense of identity.

Sigma, who arrives in a completely unfamiliar environment in a parallel world, takes Dracula's shamelessness to the extreme, completely abandoning any moral boundaries and subconscious self-restraint.

Admiral Higuma is another matter entirely.

Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, while those born in Huaibei are oranges.

As a renowned actor with outstanding acting skills, Siegfried's outward persona varies depending on the environment and the role he plays, making him seem like a completely different person.

After the truth about the seven shadowy figures was revealed, everyone, including the bald man, realized that they were all the same person.

After leaving the Dushan, Baldy chose the Sabaody Archipelago as his first stop, wanting to see what the slave market was like on the island.

The first person to take action against the slave market was Bat King.

He freed some of the slaves and left behind the legend of the Dark Knight in the Sabaody Archipelago, but a superhero cannot change the environment.

The second person to take action was Admiral Higuma.

At the time, Higuma had just captured the bandit king Higuma, and his fame was at its peak. He was once regarded as a naval hero.

The renowned and powerful Admiral Higuma's influence far surpassed that of Bat King; with a single move, he swept the entire slave market of the Sabaody Archipelago clean.

The result was that Higuma, who was part of the naval system, was stripped of his admiral rank, ending his career. Although the slave market in the Sabaody Archipelago suffered a severe blow, it gradually revived two years later.

The root of the problems in the Sabaody Archipelago lies with the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.

The third person to make a move was the bandit king, Sig.

This time, instead of targeting the Sabaody Archipelago, he turned his attention to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, leading his bandits to smash the World Government.

The result was what the bald man saw...

This was better than he had imagined; someone had inherited Sigurdsson's will...

The appearance of the mountain lord preacher was truly unexpected for the bald man, reminding him of something from long ago.

12 years ago.

When the bandit group first arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, Sig gave the bald man a Whisper Fruit and personally taught him how to use it.

Having gained his new abilities, the bald man, on a whim, whispered a few words to the nun he had just encountered...

"The foolish things I did when I was young..." The bald man shook his head with a smile, then looked seriously at the preacher in front of him.

"Davari, your understanding of the Lord of the Mountains is far too superficial."

"The Lord of the Mountains is not a personified deity, but a mortal living in a great era."

"The dreams of mortals are not the declarations of gods high above."

“We can follow his glory and his path, but we must not have idols that are high and mighty.”

The bald man skillfully launched into a verbal offensive, quickly leaving the preacher in front of him bewildered.

"Alright, it seems you've gained a deeper understanding of the doctrine," the bald man chuckled.

"Then take me to the church. The Church of the Lord of the Mountains, which has gone astray, should also correct its mistakes and get back on track."

At that moment, the bald man vaguely found a future goal.

He did not join the Liangshan International government, even though he was more than qualified and capable; instead, he was preparing to do something else.

"Mortals will eventually die, but their spirit, will, and thoughts can be passed down from generation to generation."

On the ground of the Sabaody Archipelago, a faint soap bubble floats up, reflecting the face of a bald young man.

Including the bald man, most of the elite mountain bandits and sea pirates who had participated in the war were transformed into their peak young and middle-aged men within Ain's capabilities.

However, they will not become immortals; their lifespan is still limited, only their lifespan age is adjusted.

Many years later they will all die of old age; no one is immortal.

People die, and technologically advanced ancient kingdoms and world governments that have ruled the world for eight hundred years will all perish. Nothing is permanent.

Hundreds or thousands of years from now, perhaps the Liangshan International they built will also decay, and a new era of awakening will arrive.

Before that, what the bald man needs to do is spread the glory of the Mountain Bandit King and pass on the torch of his spirit.

The world, after a long period of division, will inevitably unite; after a long period of unity, it will inevitably divide again.

The world has now entered the dawn, but thousands of years from now, it may be another dark night.

The seeds they planted in this era, the flames they passed down, will one day ignite a prairie fire once more.

The will passed down through generations, the changes of the times, and people's dreams.

As long as people continue to seek the answer to freedom

This will never stop!

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

A hospital in New World.

On the hospital bed, a robust old man with gray hair lay with his eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.

The elderly man was not receiving intravenous fluids or on a ventilator; his complexion was rosy and radiant, and this gray-haired old man looked even healthier than the doctor.

A large snot bubble grew larger and smaller with the old man's thunderous snoring, repeating itself endlessly.

People come and go in front of the hospital bed.

The doctors and nurses next to them were chatting idly outside the ward, their faces showing worry.

"How much longer is Lieutenant General Garp going to sleep?" they murmured.

"The physical examination showed that his physical condition was much healthier than that of most young people, but he just couldn't wake up."

"A person in a vegetative state? A person in a vegetative state doesn't behave like that; he's perfectly healthy..."

Amid the doctors' and nurses' chatter, a soft "poof" sound suddenly came from inside the ward.

The snot bubble that had been on Garp's nose for months finally popped.

Karp groggily got out of bed and stared blankly at the astonished doctors.

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

"What? Sieg has already conquered the three Doomsday Volcanoes?"

"What? Sig has already breached the World Government? And the current ruling organization is Liangshan International?"

Karp scratched his head, looking at the doctors explaining the situation with a blank and suspicious expression.

His memory was still stuck a few months ago, during the battle when Sieg conquered the new Doomsday Volcano.

It is said that Sieg wanted to conquer the volcano in order to control it and use it to destroy the world—but when he woke up, he found that the world had changed?

The great demon king who destroyed the world has breached the world government and retired, becoming a reclusive god among humans.

This was something Karp found hard to believe.

"Don't try to fool me! Bring Sieg to see me!"

"Where are my men? Where are they all?" Garp shouted.

"Well... because Vice Admiral Garp slept for too long, the Marines captured during the battle have already returned to Marineford after the war."

The doctor was quite polite, answering Garp's various questions, which made Garp seem like an unreasonable old man throwing a tantrum in the hospital, leaving Garp with a lot of anger but not knowing how to vent it.

"If there are no problems, Mr. Karp, you can leave after you sign this form and complete the discharge procedures."

"Liangshan has prepaid your medical expenses and travel expenses to Marineford. If you plan to go to Marineford, you can sign here."

"Ah."

Karp nodded blankly, changed into casual clothes, left the hospital, and followed the doctor's directions to the port.

What appeared before him was not a passenger ship, but a steaming sea train with tracks floating on the sea, rising and falling with the waves, disappearing into the distance.

Karp was slightly surprised, but didn't think much of it.

The first sea train was built by Tom, the shipwright of Water Seven. Although it is rare, it is not uncommon in the New World.

But when he boarded the train, he was taken aback.

"Is that Lieutenant General Garp? What a coincidence." A woman sitting next to him noticed Garp's gaze and nodded in a friendly manner.

To be precise, this is not a woman, but a mature female mermaid.

She was wearing a blue hooded top, with black bangs covering one eye, and a pipe in her hand, puffing out smoke.

"You're Shirley from Fishman Island, the one who can tell fortunes?" Garp paused, then recognized the person.

Lady Shirley was not alone; she was accompanied by four or five smaller female mermaids who were chatting away.

Several strong male merfolk were also sitting in the seats next to them.

Seeing this scene, Garp's mind suddenly went blank.

On the high seas, how could I possibly encounter so many mermaids at the same time?

Garp had served in the Navy for decades, so of course he knew about the slave market in Sabaody Archipelago. However, as an officer within the system, there wasn't much he could do about it.

Mermaids, especially female mermaids, were highly sought-after in the slave trade.

Any female mermaid could fetch over 7000 million Berries in the Sabaody Archipelago's human market.

A rare find like Mrs. Shirley, with her exceptional beauty and divination skills, could easily fetch hundreds of millions of Berries.

With the female mermaids around her, these people are practically walking Pele money!

This is the New World where pirates roam, how could there be so many mermaids here?

Fish-men and mermaids live at depths of tens of thousands of meters in the ocean, and very few of them appear on land. Once they do appear, they almost always become playthings of the Celestial Dragons... except for mermaids like Kokoro.

Therefore, in Garp's mind, the appearance of Madam Shirley and the others here was like children swaggering around with gold, which was extremely dangerous.

As for the few strong male merman bodyguards next to him?
