I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The ship was sailing on the "Golden Road of the Sea" pioneered by the navy, and its destination was the island where this route began, the Island of All Things.

But at that moment, a violent commotion broke out in the cabin.

Click!

With a crisp cracking sound, Celestial Dragon Charl Marco Saint knocked the antique vase off the table and onto the ground, shattering it into pieces.

His swollen, fat face was now even more distorted with anger.

"Sig auctioned off our family's treasures on the Island of All Things? He even created a treasure map?"

"That damned thief not only stole our family's treasures, but he also dared to auction them off so brazenly?"

"We must retrieve this treasure map! Quickly, send that bunch of useless navy bastards to Wanwu Island with their fleet!"

The Celestial Dragon Charmaco Saint roared loudly, his breathing becoming slightly rapid.

“But Charmaco Saint, the Isle of All Things is nominally the territory of the current Shichibukai, Donquixote Doflamingo... The Navy cannot act without authorization.”

"And the actual controlling forces on this island are deeply entrenched, making it even more terrifying..."

Charmaco's face twitched at the mention of Doflamingo's name.

In this world, besides the great pirates of the New World who dare to attack the Celestial Dragons, only a few people, including Doflamingo, can keep them in check.

Doflamingo is a special case; he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea entirely by blackmailing the Celestial Dragons.

The Celestial Dragons were even more afraid of turning against their opponent than Doflamingo was.

"The Don Quixote family are all lunatics... so I won't bother with them."

"Speed ​​up, I'll go to Wanwu Island myself and follow their rules, okay?"

Charmaco's voice was filled with suppressed rage.

He was going to bid against others at the auction house for the treasures that had been stolen from his family.

The mere thought of this fueled his rage.

Let alone the arrogant Celestial Dragons, this would be a huge humiliation for anyone.

He had only planned to go to Wanwu Island to buy things and relieve some stress, but his blood pressure spiked instantly.

Before even reaching the Island of All Things, his emotions were already on the verge of exploding.

“But, Saint Charles… Si…”

One of the government officials pursed his lips, as if he was about to say something.

But before he could finish speaking, Charles Marco pulled a gun from his pocket and pulled the trigger on the official.

After a gunshot, the official who was speaking in the middle of a conversation suddenly collapsed in a pool of blood, his face filled with terror.

"No buts!"

Charmaco roared, slightly panting, his eyes bloodshot.

Seeing the emotionally charged Saint Charmaco, the other subordinates around him felt a pang of unease and suppressed their own thoughts.

No one tried to speak again to finish what the official hadn't said.

.........

On the Island of Everything.

After finishing his discussions with the various factions on the island, Sieg looked completely satisfied.

"My plan is perfect!"

"First, they voluntarily ceased publication to reduce the newspaper's popularity."

"Then, by setting the auction announcement within a very short period of three days, it's unlikely to backfire like Doflamingo did."

"This time, I'm sure I can sell the treasure map for a high price and achieve my small goal of 100 million, right?"

Sieg has never forgotten his original aspiration.

Chapter 170 The Fruit of Silence

Two days before the auction began.

In the living room of a building on Pleasure Street, Sieg and Stussy sat side by side on a sofa.

On the sofa opposite him sat a dark world king who had just arrived on the Island of All Things.

The King of Shipping, Umit.

This is a serious-looking middle-aged man with a fierce face and a thick, bushy black beard on his chin that is almost bigger than his face.

Compared to the king of the underworld, this person's appearance is more like that of a vicious and ruthless pirate.

"Another bigwig from the underworld..."

Sig also had a somber expression, deep in thought.

Stussy, Ummit, and Morgans, these kings of the underworld, were all kings of the entertainment, shipping, and news industries.

Although their business spans the ocean, their true roots are in the New World.

While the island of all things at the entrance to the Grand Line is important and can be considered a commercial hub city, it is still not as good as the headquarters of the New World.

These dark lords have mostly set up branches here.

Sieg did not expect that Umit, the shipping magnate who should have been in the New World, would come here in person.

"Umit, you've actually come to this Island of Everything. You wouldn't happen to be planning to bid for Mr. Sig's treasure map too, would you?"

The atmosphere was subtly somber when Stussy broke the silence by speaking first.

"Of course not, with such a powerful alliance between you, how could I not come?"

Umit twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a somewhat fierce smile.

His gaze moved back and forth between Stussy and Sieg with great interest.

“Stusi, I never expected that Sieg was actually behind you.”

"You alone are enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with us... You've really kept your abilities well hidden."

Umit said in a deep voice:

"Moreover, the online newsletter you launched in collaboration with Morgans this time is quite popular and has the potential to become a blockbuster newspaper."

"What, is Joy Street planning a cross-industry collaboration with Morgans?"

Sieg suddenly realized something.

That's probably why the shipping king came.

The six kings of the underworld control six industries: entertainment, media, shipping, warehousing, funeral services, and finance.

The six individuals belong to distinct industries with no overlap.

But after Sig arrived on the Island of Everything, some changes occurred.

As the man behind the Queen of Pleasure Street, Sig himself represents a mysterious and powerful new force.

At the same time, he himself is incredibly mysterious, has an outstanding track record, and his recent collaboration with news king Morgans has yielded excellent results...

So Umit came here specifically to sound out what was going on?

After thinking for a moment, Sieg smiled faintly:

You might not believe it, but it's true.

"I don't have any ambition. I just want to make a hundred million yuan by using treasure maps."

"Hahaha... Mr. Sig is really humorous."

Umit laughed twice, his bushy beard trembling, but his eyes remained serious, clearly not believing it.

One hundred million Berries? What's that?

This is certainly not a small amount for ordinary people.

But for these kings of the dark world, it wasn't even a middle-class matter; it was just a trivial matter.

"Speaking of which, the reason I came to visit this time is to thank Mr. Sig for helping us make our island famous."

"The treasure map of the Great Treasure is an opportunity for many forces on the Island of All Things."

Umit smirked and chuckled softly.

While his words contained a hint of flattery, they were not entirely untrue.

The auction will be held in the island's largest auction house, which is jointly owned by multiple factions, allowing each faction to profit and build its reputation.

This was something Sieg did intentionally.

To prevent the auction from going wrong, he traveled around and made contact with various forces on the island during the days when the newspaper was suspended.

If someone disregards the rules and makes a move, no faction will stand idly by.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they finally got down to business.

Umit gave a wink to his subordinate standing next to him, who immediately took out a small box and placed it on the table in the reception room.

Inside the box was a blue-purple banana with strange patterns.

"Devil Fruit?"

Sieg's heart stirred slightly.

Umit smiled faintly;

"I just happened to be passing by the Island of All Things. I didn't bring anything good with me, except for this Silent Fruit, which is barely enough to save face."

"How could I possibly accept this?"

Sig's eyes lit up immediately.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen a Devil Fruit.

This fruit can create a silent space, isolating the transmission of sound.

Although the Silence-Silence Fruit cannot directly increase strength, it still has a wide range of uses.
