I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Just like Doflamingo's plan to create the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Colosseum 12 years later, thinking he had countless strong people under his thumb, only to have it all backfire.

"Not releasing it? But the buzz surrounding the online forum tabloids will eventually die down?"

The editor-in-chief immediately panicked.

In his view, this was simply turning money away!

If he were to write it, posting ten or eight articles a day to further enhance the newspaper's reputation would be the most important thing.

"I have my own ideas, listen to me."

Lowering the temperature? Wouldn't that be better?

Sig said directly:

"The next episode is a bit special and needs time to develop. I need to have a good talk with the kings of the dark world on this island."

"This also includes your World Economic News Agency."

Sieg said that.

..........

The third day has arrived.

When the newsbird landed, many people's eyes lit up and they rushed towards it.

"Give me a copy of the Baidu Tieba newsletter!"

"I want a copy of the Baidu Tieba newsletter. Will today's issue feature multiple Devil Fruit abilities? I'm really looking forward to it..."

However, this time Sieg still gave them a surprise.

"No third issue? The Baidu Tieba newsletter is gone?"

"What's going on? Has Doflamingo finally banned it?"

Many people stared at each other blankly.

"Since you said you'd write a story with multiple Devil Fruit abilities in one episode, hurry up and get it done!"

"I'll die without reading the Baidu Tieba newsletter..."

Fourth day.

There is still no third issue of the Baidu Tieba newsletter.

"Unscrupulous editor! You said you'd write it, but you didn't!"

"Has the editor run out of ideas? Is he simply unable to come up with a third installment?"

"Trash newspaper! I'm going to kill the editor!"

Day 5, Day 6...

There is still no news from the Baidu Tieba newsletter.

This newly emerged online forum newsletter was like a flash in the pan, becoming a sensation for a short while before quietly disappearing.

However, its impact on the world has not simply disappeared.

Seventh day.

As usual, Blackbeard Teach would come to the deck every morning and stand gazing into the distance, waiting for the newsbird to arrive.

"Still waiting for the news, Teach? Are you waiting for the Baidu Tieba tabloid to update too?"

Someone nearby patted Blackbeard on the shoulder affectionately.

However, when Blackbeard turned around, he was startled and took a half step back.

At this moment, Blackbeard's stubble grew wildly from his cheeks, making him look somewhat disheveled. His black curly hair was also unkempt, giving it a messy appearance.

But the most striking feature is still those ethereal dark circles under her eyes.

"Teach, what's wrong? Should we call the ship's doctor?"

The pirate asked with concern.

"I am fine."

Blackbeard rubbed his cheeks, trying to perk himself up.

These past few days, he's been eagerly awaiting the latest issue of the Baidu Tieba newsletter.

The multiple Devil Fruit abilities previewed in the last episode are probably quite an attractive legend to others.

But for Blackbeard, it was his biggest secret, a crucial moment to see if it would be exposed.

How much does Sun Beard know? Is he preparing to expose Blackbeard's unusual behavior?

It is no exaggeration to say that this was a moment that could change Blackbeard's fate.

If his physical abnormalities are exposed, it's like his biggest trump card has been revealed!

Blackbeard never expected that this moment would last for several days.

Blackbeard was born with a physical abnormality that prevented him from sleeping, making each of his days longer than those of an ordinary person.

The days he spent waiting for the news from the online forum were particularly difficult.

Before we could finish our casual conversation, a newsbird had already landed in the sky.

"Let me see if there are any tabloids on Baidu Tieba..."

It's been seven days already, and Blackbeard had already given up hope.

But this time, he felt a slight tremor throughout his body.

"The third phase has finally arrived!"

Has the moment that will decide his fate arrived?

Blackbeard gritted his teeth, suppressing his excitement, and focused his gaze on the newspaper headlines.

Shocking! The Bandit King's Great Treasure, Another Piece Treasure Map, has appeared on Wanwu Island!

Chapter 169 Never Forget the Original Intention

"What? The third installment, which came after several days, is about a treasure map? What happened to the promised dual Devil Fruit abilities?"

Blackbeard, holding the newspaper, suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Things didn't go as he expected at all.

Just when everyone thought the dual Devil Fruit abilities were about to be revealed, the online forum's newsletter went on hiatus for several days.

Just when he was about to give up, the third episode finally arrived, and it turned out to be a treasure map?

This means that the moment that has troubled Blackbeard for so long, the moment that will affect his fate, has still not arrived.

If it weren't for his crewmates watching over him, Blackbeard might have been so frustrated he vomited blood.

The huge weight hanging over my heart just won't lift...

At this moment, the pirates next to him also came over and looked curiously at the newspaper in Blackbeard's hand.

The main body of this article is actually introducing and emphasizing the immense wealth of the Another Piece treasure and how it is related to the Celestial Dragons' national treasure.

The article also mentions the origins of the treasure map, including a poignant and captivating love triangle involving it.

Just as Blackbeard and the others were getting serious, the article took a sudden turn.

"So, where can we get this treasure map?"

"The 'Anotherpiece' treasure map will be auctioned in three days at Auction House No. 1 on All Things Island, in the first half of the Grand Line. The highest bidder wins..."

this....

Blackbeard was completely dumbfounded.

After all this time, it seems like this is an advertisement? An auction advertisement?

And why an auction?

Such an important treasure map is being auctioned off directly?

What exactly is his intention?

"This is very strange."

"Only three days? Then this auction isn't only open to people from the islands surrounding Wanwu Island?"

There are quite a few pirates in this world who leave behind treasure maps or treasures.

But all of these pirates are dead.

Pirates aren't philanthropists, so why would they leave their life savings to others through a treasure map?

But the current situation is that a great pirate who is still alive has left behind a huge treasure, made its existence public, and is even preparing to auction off his treasure map.

This sounds so strange.

This issue of the Baidu Tieba newsletter has also sparked a discussion.

"This guy is definitely someone who thrives on chaos and cannot be judged by common sense."

"His behavior is so contradictory."

"The only thing that's certain is that Sieg is definitely not after money; he must have some other scheme in mind."

The news a few days ago revealed that Sig is the true owner of the powerful Pleasure Street, and it is unlikely that he is short of money.

Even if he's short of money, he could just go and get his own treasure. Why would he put his treasure map up for auction?

The cause of the incident remains shrouded in mystery.

However, this discussion didn't generate as much buzz as the previous discussion about the top ten Devil Fruits.

After all, the time is only three days away, and it is destined that only people from the vicinity of the Isle of All Things in the first half of the Grand Line will have a chance to arrive.

A certain sea area along the Grand Line.

A ship flying the flag of the World Government is sailing on the waves.
