I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Why are the Revolutionary Army coming to find me? And why is it Dragon personally bringing the Okama King and Bartholomew Kuma?"

This is the world's most dangerous criminal! Sieg has no desire to get involved with such a dangerous person.

Whether Garp comes or not is another matter, but why is even the dragon coming?

"What to do? What to do?"

"I originally thought that since he could fool Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, Dragon shouldn't be too difficult to deal with!"

"I got too cocky!"

Sig was heartbroken.

Red-Haired Shanks actually has a very good temper; he's hardly like a pirate.

He wouldn't get angry even if someone threw wine at him or smashed a bottle over his head.

He is one of the Four Emperors, standing at the pinnacle of the pirate world, yet he can still mingle with Luffy in the remote and impoverished Windmill Village.

But... dragons are different!

Dragon appears very rarely, and is more like a behind-the-scenes boss. Sig also lacks understanding of Dragon and can't figure out what he's thinking at all.

So... what should we do now?

Got it!

After much thought, a brilliant idea flashed through Sieg's mind!

"Just say I suddenly have a stomachache! Long will definitely understand, and we can talk about it another day!"

Chapter 18 The Unfathomable Mountain Bandit King

Sig took a deep breath, mentally picturing a stomachache, and his expression immediately contorted slightly.

His appearance was already rather fierce, and with the addition of KING's powerful style, his expression suddenly became distorted, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.

The dragon sitting opposite him felt a slight tremor in its heart.

"Mr. Sieg looks rather grim. Is he angry?"

Long's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said:

“Mr. Sieg, I apologize for our previous recklessness.”

"But this time, we really did come with good intentions."

After saying that, Long took out a paper document from his pocket and spread it out on the table.

"This is a secret report received by our Revolutionary Army's intelligence network in the capital of the Kingdom of Goa..."

Sieg glanced at it carefully, his eyes widening slightly.

He successfully alarmed the Goa Kingdom by using the title of Mountain Bandit King Higuma.

That wasn't all; even the Navy was alarmed and planned to launch a siege against the Sigshan Bandits!

Dragon also explained at the same time:

"The bandits inside the island are a matter within the territory of the Goa Kingdom, and the Navy should not interfere."

"But Mr. Sieg's timing for this operation was very opportune."

"It just so happens that the Celestial Dragons are about to visit, which is why the Goa Kingdom has no choice but to take it seriously."

"According to our intelligence, the Goa Kingdom has proactively requested the World Government to dispatch naval forces to assist them..."

After saying this, the dragon stared directly at Sig, carefully observing the changes in Sig's expression.

Their revolutionary army also cared about this matter.

Some suspect that Sieg was too impulsive and high-profile, which attracted the attention of the Navy.

Dragon himself believed that Sig was cunning and had ulterior motives, deliberately trying to attract the attention of the Goa Kingdom and the Navy.

Dragon intends to see the truth for himself.

However, Sieg remained completely unmoved in front of him, with no obvious fluctuation in his facial expression.

"The Navy...a visit from the Celestial Dragons?"

Sig muttered to himself.

He suddenly remembered that there was such a scene in the original story.

"That makes sense..."

Sig said, "The Celestial Dragons have arrived, and they intend to attack me, this so-called bandit king, and then burn the Uncertain Terminal? This is truly a thorough purification plan."

"In this way, the most beautiful country in the East China Sea will be free from any stains, garbage mountains, and bandits."

Sieg thought of the great fire in the original story and sighed softly.

"Wait... Burning the undetermined terminal? Mr. Sig, is this information true?"

Long and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they asked.

"Don't you know?"

Without much thought, Sieg recalled the plot of the original work and said:

"The royal family of the Goa Kingdom colluded with the Bursam Pirates of Pirate Harbor, promising entry into the Goa Kingdom's capital as nobles, and persuaded the pirate Bursam to take action, planning to burn down the Uncertain Terminal..."

"In this way, the Goa Kingdom can blame the fire on pirates and distance itself from the situation..."

"But how could those arrogant nobles allow mere pirates to become nobles and associate with them? They'll definitely turn their backs on them afterward, shutting the pirates out, and it would be best if they died in the fire as well."

Sieg roughly recounted the plot from memory.

The expressions on the faces of Long and the others gradually became serious.

It wasn't just because of the actions of the nobles of the Goa Kingdom, but also because of the man in front of them!

The revolutionary army is known for its intelligence capabilities and has an astonishing intelligence network all over the world.

However, they were completely unaware of this conspiracy by the Kingdom of Goa.

In fact, this is the reasonable conclusion.

The destination of the uncertain object is not only a garbage dump, but also a slum with a large population.

If a fire were to break out, it would be a disaster that would shock the world.

If the fact that the Goa Kingdom's royal family was colluding with pirates were to be exposed, the Goa Kingdom's reputation would plummet, and it wouldn't be impossible for it to cause a popular uprising.

Such an important matter, if the pirate Malsam had any brains, he certainly wouldn't spread it around.

So here's the question: since both sides are taking this very seriously and won't leak information casually...

How did Sieg, who was standing in front of them, know about this?

From Sieg's description, this is not as simple as "knowing" it; it can be described as knowing it inside and out!

The cause of the incident, the specific plans of both sides, and even the fact that the nobles of the Goa Kingdom intended to back out after the incident were all explained in great detail!

Justified and convincing.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like fabricated intelligence.

Long and Ivankov exchanged glances, feeling somewhat disheartened.

This was crucial intelligence, but their revolutionary army's supposedly invincible intelligence system knew nothing about it.

Thinking of this, Long and the others looked at Sig with a more solemn expression.

"Is this the result of the bandit king Sig's years of hiding and working silently in the Goa Kingdom?"

"Perhaps Sig has already quietly woven a vast intelligence network in the mountains of this lawless zone... In other regions, Sig's intelligence network may be even stronger than our Revolutionary Army's in the Kingdom of Goa."

"Most surprisingly, he even considered that the nobles of the Goa Kingdom would deceive the pirates afterward to prevent them from entering the city!"

"It must be said that Sig's understanding of the nobles and royal family of the Goa Kingdom far exceeds our imagination."

"He not only has spies within the Navy, but he probably also has them among the high-ranking officials of the Goa Kingdom. Otherwise, he would never have obtained such secret intelligence!"

Thinking of this, while Long valued Sig even more, he also felt a little embarrassed.

Their purpose in visiting was to make contact with Sig and provide information about the Goa Kingdom's movements, as a gesture of goodwill and to lay the foundation for possible future cooperation.

But now it seems...did they do something unnecessary?

If Sig really possessed a terrifying intelligence network, he would probably have already obtained the information that "the Goa Kingdom is going to launch a siege against the Sig Mountain Bandits," right?

Out of goodwill, the Revolutionary Army wanted to bring Sig important intelligence... but it turns out that the other side may have already obtained it and instead informed them of important intelligence?

The cabin fell silent again, the atmosphere slightly heavy.

Long and the others were deep in thought, while Sieg was lost in depression and remained silent.

Upon learning that the navy was coming to encircle and annihilate them, Sieg was completely distraught.

His original plan was simply to be a quiet, reclusive person and live a low-key life while Garp was in Windmill Village.

But now it seems that it has attracted the attention of the navy and can no longer keep a low profile.

Perhaps it won't be long before the name of Goa Kingdom's number one wanted criminal, the Mountain Bandit King, reaches Garp's ears.

"Wait... Navy... Garp?"

At that moment, a terrifying thought suddenly occurred to Sieg...

Chapter 19 To be honest, I want to beat up your dad.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Sieg instinctively sat up straight.

Judging by the time, Garp should be arriving at Windmill Village by now.

Could it be that... Garp, who had already arrived near the waters of the Goa Kingdom, was temporarily conscripted to lead his troops here?

Instantly, Sieg's heart pounded; he was terrified by the horrifying thought that had crossed his mind.

Garp?

He hid in the deep mountains, wasn't it to keep a low profile and avoid attracting Garp's attention?
