I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Then, the soundproof wall disappeared again under Monca's control.

"This is a Devil Fruit ability that can eliminate sound. I hope you can make a similar silencer."

After saying that, Sieg looked at Erwin expectantly.

If he could have a silencer, one of the obstacles to his grand plan of remaining anonymous would disappear.

Combined with the original loudspeaker, Sieg could adjust the volume of the Emperor Engine as needed.

However, Erwin's reaction disappointed him somewhat.

"You want me to create a magical artifact comparable to the power of a Devil Fruit? Lord Sigurd, you think too highly of me."

Erwin was completely shocked.

“Lord Sig, I am merely a craftsman specializing in custom knives. I can forge some of the knives in the sketches, but those methane rocket boots and silencers... those are indeed beyond my capabilities.”

"Perhaps, Lord Sig, you should look for other engineers or scientists on the island."

"Irwin said."

"Are there scientists on this island?"

Sieg immediately became interested.

"Lord Sig, don't you know? There are quite a few craftsmen, engineers, and scientists on the island like us who have joined various factions."

Irwin gave a brief explanation.

Wanwu Island is said to be a place where you can buy anything, bringing together all kinds of goods from all over the world, but that's not enough to justify its name.

Things that don't exist in the Grand Line or the Four Seas, things that only exist in people's imaginations, can perhaps be created on this island.

This is the true Island of All Things.

This was made possible by the artisans, engineers, and scientists on the island.

Due to its unique background, the island of all things is difficult for the navy to intervene in, thus attracting a group of engineers, scientists, and other eccentric individuals who are wanted by the government and have nowhere else to go.

Although Sig's request is rather strange, it is actually quite possible to fulfill it on this island of everything.

"I see. So, even things that don't exist in this world can perhaps be created..."

Sieg suddenly thought of something:

"I wonder if there are any craftsmen on this Island of All Things who can process Seastone?"

Upon hearing this, Erwin paused for a moment, carefully looked Sig up and down, and then shook his head.

"Well, I'm not too sure about that... but Seastone is a crucial resource controlled by the World Government, so I doubt it's even found on this Island of All Things?"

After saying this, Erwin's gaze became somewhat unnatural.

His gaze fell on the longsword at Sieg's waist.

To be precise, it was the inconspicuous emblem that landed on the scabbard of the longsword.

It was a small emblem of two red swords with their blades crossed, not very noticeable. But Erwin's gaze seemed glued to the emblem, and he was completely stunned.

This momentary lapse in composure caught Sieg's attention.

The emblem of crossed red swords is actually the family crest of the Shimotsuki clan of Wano Country, and also the emblem of the Isshin Dojo in the East Blue.

Sig simply took out the longsword from its scabbard at his waist and looked at Erwin in front of him.

"What, you're interested in this sword?"

Erwin snapped out of his daze and quickly smiled apologetically:

"Mr. Sig’s sword is indeed superb, worthy of a world-renowned swordsman like Lord Sig. I was just a little too engrossed in watching it, please forgive my rudeness."

"is it?"

Sieg looked directly into Erwin's eyes and said, word by word:

"But I think I just saw that you weren't looking at the sword itself, but rather at the mark on the scabbard?"

Upon hearing this, Erwin seemed speechless for a moment, only managing a forced laugh.

This reaction further confirmed Sieg's suspicions.

He decided to test the waters again.

"This sword was given to me by a swordsmith named Shimotsuki Koshiro when I was in the East Sea..."

Chapter 198 The Craftsmen of Wano Country

Sig casually mentioned the incident at the Isshin Dojo in the East Sea.

The text focuses on his friendly relationship with Koushirou and the fact that they exchanged swords.

However, Sig gave a chainsaw, and the recipient was not Koushirou but Kuina; Sig omitted this minor detail.

When the name Shimotsuki Koshiro came out of Sieg's mouth, the craftsman Erwin's pupils trembled slightly, unable to conceal it.

"So you do know about the Shimotsuki family of Wano Country."

Sieg's expression immediately turned serious.

He never expected that meeting this craftsman would bring him such an unexpected gain.

Sieg looked wary, grabbed his sword, and was ready to strike.

Behind Erwin, a burly man had silently appeared, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Morgan is now a user of the Silence-Silence Fruit, which allows him to eliminate all sounds he makes even without activating a soundproof barrier.

Even if Monca simply darted behind Erwin to backstab him, or even if Monca fired a rocket launcher, it wouldn't make a sound.

The craftsman, Erwin, immediately raised his hands, indicating that he had no intention of resisting.

“Mr. Sig, I…”

Erwin remained silent for a long time, his expression shifting several times.

Finally, he sighed deeply.

"Mr. Sig, may I take a look at this sword?"

Sig gestured with his eyes for Monka behind Erwin to step back, and then drew the longsword given to him by Koushirou.

Erwin examined it carefully several times, and the emotion in his eyes deepened.

"It certainly does resemble the craftsmanship of the Shimotsuki family..."

"Since the descendants of Lord Kousaburo are willing to give this sword to Lord Sig, then I will not hide it from you."

A look of reminiscence crossed Erwin's eyes as he said:

"Decades ago, a turmoil broke out in Wano Country. We followed Lord Kousaburo of the Shimotsuki family and left Wano Country to reach the East Blue."

"The world is much wider than I imagined, and our group has been greatly impacted..."

"I was young when I left Wano Country decades ago, and I was unwilling to stay in the East Blue, so I entered the Grand Line..."

Erwin was interrupted by Sieg with a frown as he finished speaking:

"Wait, I remember the Maritime King said you were a craftsman from the Western Sea? Even the hidden blade you crafted yourself originated from the Western Sea?"

"Furthermore, the name Erwin doesn't seem to fit the style of Wano Country."

Upon hearing what Sieg said, Erwin smiled.

"That's just a way of inflating one's status."

"After all, things are valued for their rarity. How can things from the Grand Line's own territory be as attractive as rare goods from all over the world?"

"As for my real name, I haven't used it for many years."

At this point, Erwin glanced at Sieg with a strange light in his eyes:

"Wano Country has been closed off from the outside world for many years, yet Lord Sigurd seems to know quite a bit about it..."

Sieg remained silent, letting Erwin continue.

"In short, after years of traversing the Grand Line and witnessing many different landscapes, I arrived at this Island of All Things and make a living by custom-making small items like hidden blades..."

Sieg listened quietly as the old craftsman recounted his past, but his mind gradually began to wander.

Back when he was at Isshin Dojo, he had heard Koushirou talk about something similar.

Some of those who left Wano Country did not stay in the East Blue like Koushirou and his group, but instead entered the Grand Line. Among them was the Seastone craftsman that Higuma was looking for.

It seems that the old craftsman Erwin in front of me is also one of those who fled Wano Country.

Ten minutes later, Sieg patiently listened to the old craftsman finish recounting his past.

Then, he finally spoke:

"I heard Koushirou mention that among those who left the East Blue with you and entered the Grand Line, there were craftsmen who could process Seastone?"

Upon hearing Sieg's words, Erwin was taken aback.

"Lord Sig, didn't you discover my identity, which is why you specifically sought me out?"

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Sieg, also taken aback, voiced his guess:

"You're the sea stone craftsman that Koushirou mentioned?"

Erwin nodded silently, and after seeing Sig's increasingly fervent gaze, he understood what was going on and quickly said;

"Does Lord Sig want to process seastone?"

"I did participate in the processing of sea stone when I was in Wano Country in my early years. But the complete processing technology and supporting equipment only exist in Wano Country."

"Seastone is as hard as diamond and extremely difficult to polish. Outside of Wano Country, there's very little I can do."

Sieg glanced at the old craftsman in front of him.

He meant that there were very limited things that could be done, not that it was completely impossible.

"I want to forge a... Seastone sword. I wonder if you can do that?"

Sig said directly.

"Seastone Sword?"
