I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Winning the bet against Fujitora can be considered defeating a Marine Admiral?

My grand plan has really been completed just like that?

Sig was surprised again.

He didn't even draw the card immediately, but instead asked another question.

"System, if I return to the East Blue now, is it too late to defeat the future Pirate King and Marine Admiral?"

The system's response eliminated any possibility of Sieg trying to cheat.

Fujitora, Green Bull, and even Coby, who will become admirals in the future, must possess the corresponding admiral strength at this point in time to meet the system's requirement of being recognized as a "naval admiral".

In other words, ten years ago at this point in time, even if Higuma had defeated Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, let alone Koby, it might not have been considered that the conditions had been met.

Garp, who has never served as an admiral, is not included.

Having figured this out, Sieg stopped worrying and turned his attention to the second-stage quest that had just appeared.

"Mission: The Mountain Bandit King's Grand Plan."

“任务要求1：击败三名海军大将。（1/3）或击败任一四皇。（0/1）”

"Task Rewards: Receive cards of random quality based on the completion rate of the task."

The next moment, Sig's consciousness sank into the familiar sea of ​​stars.

Before their eyes, endless starlight twinkled once more, and a new card had taken shape.

This time, the cards are a long-awaited golden color.

S-rank card!

Sig watched with anticipation as the cards suddenly flipped over.

Then, he was surprised again.

In the past, cards were all sorts of strange and wonderful things, but at least they were people.

But this time, the card features a cat.

And it was a cat that Sieg recognized very well.

Possession Card: Tom (100%)

Quality: S-grade

Source: Tom and Jerry

Limit: 4 times, maximum 20 minutes per session

Character restrictions: Self, Allies

ability:

Transformation---Tom's body possesses extremely strong adaptability and deformation ability, and can be transformed into various shapes under external force, even if it is flattened by a blunt object, it can recover.

Walking in the air – Tom can stay in the air for a short time as long as he doesn't look down.

Tom will not kill his enemies.

"Another strange card has been added..."

Sig put a hand to his forehead.

While it's not the card that can easily defeat Crocodile as one might imagine, it's still pretty good at keeping you alive.

However, upon closer reflection, Sieg felt a chill creep down his spine.

In the cartoon, Talking Tom is in a pretty miserable situation... His body can transform, but that doesn't mean he's immune to injury and pain...

Moreover, in Sieg's memory, Talking Tom had died several times in the cartoon.

The card description doesn't mention anything about being able to revive on the spot...

As for the side effect of "not killing", Sieg didn't care much about it.

This possession card lasts for a maximum of 10 minutes, but Sig can terminate the ability before the duration ends.

The next moment, Sig's consciousness returned to reality.

His gaze immediately fell on Fujitora.

Tomka may have saved his own life, but Sieg couldn't let Fujitora slip away.

He strode out and caught up with Fujitora, who was walking away.

After observing Fujitora's gambling for a while, Sig also had a vague idea in his mind.

Fujitora is one of the few top-tier fighters in the One Piece world with an exceptionally good temper, and he is not particularly dangerous.

Therefore, Sieg made a bold decision.

"Wait."

Sig stretched out his hand, blocking Fujitora's path.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at the blind middle-aged man.

Do you know who I am?

Before Fujitora could answer, Sig continued:

"I am the mastermind behind this casino, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the King of the Desert!"

"...a friend."

Fujitora paused slightly, sighed softly, and showed his empty purse to Sieg.

"Is he a loan shark friend of the casino owner? But I really have no money left. At my age, I am unable to repay the loan sharks."

"So, please move aside."

Fujitora lowered his head slightly and said earnestly.

Sieg narrowed his eyes, ignoring Fujitora's words, and whispered in his ear:

"I'm here to discuss business with Crocodile, and I'll be meeting him shortly."

“I bet you’ll come with me to see him.”

Upon hearing this, Fujitora stopped in his tracks.

He raised his head slightly, and his eyes, which had been tightly closed, gradually opened, revealing the somewhat ferocious whites of his eyes as he stared at Sieg.

Chapter 211 Meeting Crocodile

Inside the casino, Fujitora, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened his blind eyes and stared at Sig.

This caused a fine layer of sweat to gradually form on Sieg's back.

Just as Sig's Emperor Engine was about to be activated, Fujitora finally reacted.

His eyes closed again, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly.

"Gambling? This is certainly a high-stakes gamble."

"Dude, you win."

Fujitora said in a low voice.

Bro?

Sig couldn't help but stroke his beard.

Fujitora is 42 years old now, and this guy is calling him "brother"...

"I'm not going to bother arguing with a blind man like him..."

While Sieg thought to himself, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems he won his gamble again.

By revealing Crocodile's secrets, Sigir had actually guessed Fujitora's true intentions.

Was it really a coincidence that Fujitora came to this Rain Banquet Casino?

It's true that Fujitora Issho likes gambling, but what gambler would like gambling where the house cheats?

After observing, Sieg discovered that Fujitora had very bad luck with gambling and was basically losing money the whole time.

Adding to Fujitora's words before leaving, Sieg probably deduced that Fujitora already knew that the bookmakers were cheating.

So why would Fujitora come to a cheating casino?

Nine times out of ten, they have ulterior motives.

Sig's guess is that Fujitora came for the casino's owner, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It's worth noting that 12 years later, Fujitora, who became a Marine Admiral, made his first major move by arriving at the territory of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and subsequently proposed abolishing the Seven Warlords system.

Sig speculates that Fujitora may have witnessed the atrocities committed by the Seven Warlords of the Sea in his early years, which is why he so deeply resents the Seven Warlords system.

He might even have had dealings with one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Both sides came for Crocodile, which is why Sieg made such a verbal bet.

.........

With his spirits lifted, Sieg, along with Fujitora and the others, finally climbed the stairs again and arrived at the president's office on the fifth floor.

Upon entering the room, Sieg's eyes lit up.

The president's office is indeed quite luxurious and sophisticated, in line with the style of the casino.

On one side is a giant aquarium, in which banana crocodiles, some tens of meters long, swim slowly.

On the other side, there is a huge, transparent floor-to-ceiling window, which is very grand and offers a panoramic view of the bustling city below and the vast desert landscape in the distance.

However, the floor-to-ceiling window was mostly covered by a curtain, so only a small area could be seen.

A chair spun around, and Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, sat expressionless at the conference table.

"Sig, you've finally arrived."

Sig nodded slightly, but his gaze couldn't help but drift to Robin, a young woman dressed in denim, standing beside Crocodile.
