I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

“Our revolutionary army and Mr. Sig share the same goal... There is a basis for cooperation between us, and that is why we are here.”

Shared goals? Cooperation?

A sense of bewilderment rose in Sieg's heart.

Um, what was my goal again?

Starting today, am I going to become a shut-in in the mountains?

Hmm? Does Ryu also want to be a shut-in? I really can't tell.

No, I must be thinking wrong!

Sieg thought about it carefully for a while before he figured out what his goal was.

"Oh, by the way, I came to hide in these deep mountains to avoid Garp."

"Dragon's goal is also to evade Garp? Could it be that Garp has been secretly hunting Dragon all along?"

Thinking of this, Sig looked at the dragon with a newfound warmth.

I originally thought that the dragon was a typical behind-the-scenes big boss, extremely dangerous.

The dragon now gives Sieg the feeling of a big kid running away from home and hiding from his strict father.

Sieg nodded and said:

"I understand you. The Revolutionary Army hasn't had an easy time these past few years, has it?"

"Garp is very strong, and he is indeed a very troublesome opponent."

At this point, Sieg also perked up.

He had been feeling uneasy, wondering what the purpose of the revolutionary army's visit was.

Since they also want to escape Garp's pursuit, things will be easier.

The revolutionary army's strength far surpasses that of this so-called bandit king; he's a golden goose!

Sieg then straightened his expression, maintaining the demeanor of a powerful figure, and said in a deep voice:

“I have seen your sincerity, and I am also very interested in our cooperation.”

At this point, Sieg's tone became slightly relaxed.

He was imagining the scene of the Revolutionary Army covering him and him escaping Garp's pursuit.

From then on, the world was their oyster.

“Once our cooperation goals are achieved, Karp will no longer be an obstacle for either of us.”

A slight smile appeared on Sieg's face.

This made Long and the others' expressions even more serious.

what happened?

What Dragon meant was that both the Revolutionary Army and Sigurd wanted to attack the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule.

But why did Sieg suddenly mention Garp?

What does this have to do with Garp?

"Did he misunderstand something?"

Dragon was somewhat confused. He recalled Sig's words and was slightly startled again.

"Garp is very strong... extremely troublesome... Once we achieve our goal, Garp will no longer be an obstacle for either of us..."

Sig mistakenly believed that the Revolutionary Army's goal was also to attack Garp.

Long narrowed his eyes, his thoughts a jumble of emotions.

He had been wondering if he was overthinking things, wondering how Sieg's target could possibly be his eccentric father.

Who knew that next, Sieg would specifically mention the name "Garp".

"As expected of the bandit king, Sig, a man who calls himself king."

Has he seen through our intentions?

"He had already guessed that we had guessed that his target was Garp, and he made no attempt to hide it."

"Such strong confidence suggests his backup plan is indeed quite formidable..."

Long's heart sank slightly. He knew Garp's strength, but the man in front of him's undisguised confidence still made him unable to underestimate him.

“Mr. Sig, I think you’ve misunderstood something.”

Long thought for a moment and then spoke again.

He decided to lay everything out in the open to avoid any further misunderstandings.

"To be precise, what we mean is that we share some common goals."

"Our Revolutionary Army's goal is to overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government."

"Mr. Sig's goal is to overthrow the Celestial Dragons, occupy the Holy Land Mary Geoise, usher in the Great Mountain Bandit Era, and become the Mountain Bandit King, right?"

"Our enemies are the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, so..."

Before the dragon could finish speaking, Sig's eyes widened, and at the same time, the booming sound of the Emperor's engine rang out again.

I'm going to conquer the Holy Land, Mary Geoise? I've never heard of that before!

What on earth is this "era of the Great Mountain Bandits"?

Sig roared inwardly.

"Mr. Sig, please don't misunderstand. We come with goodwill and have no intention of being your enemy..."

Before him, the dragon once again felt the pressure of the Emperor Engine and solemnly spoke.

He came with good intentions, but Sieg first gave him a hard time, and then repeatedly showed strong hostility.

The earlier explanation could be that "Sigurd's target was actually Garp, not the Revolutionary Army."

But what about this time? Do they really think their revolutionary army is some pushover?

Chapter 21 We underestimated his ambition

Inside the room, accompanied by the sound of the Emperor's engine, the atmosphere became heavy once again.

This time, Long and the others also looked rather grim.

The revolutionary army has secretly contacted quite a few forces.

As the leader of the revolutionary army, Long naturally knew that if the two forces were too far apart in strength, there would be no possibility of cooperation, let alone equal dialogue.

It now seems that Sieg underestimated the strength of their revolutionary army.

Sieg clearly sensed the heavy atmosphere and tried his best to calm himself down.

The downside of the Emperor Engine is that it is difficult to control directly and may be triggered automatically when one is emotionally agitated.

In the One-Punch Man world, King claims to be ten times more cowardly than an ordinary person. While Higuma isn't quite that extreme, he has repeatedly activated his Emperor Engine due to tension and fear.

Taking a deep breath, Sieg calmed his heartbeat and then explained:

"You've misunderstood."

"I have no ambition to become the bandit king; that's utter nonsense."

At this point, fearing the other party might not believe him or might overthink things, Sieg further explained:

"I don't know what the concepts of 'mountain bandit king' and 'the era of great mountain bandits' mean... I'm afraid no one in the world understands them."

Sieg tried his best to appear sincere:

"I don't know where you all got the idea that I wanted to be a bandit king, but that's not true and has nothing to do with me."

Sig explained at length, trying to convince the dragon and the others.

Long pondered for a long time, considering whether it was true or false.

It's perfectly normal to deny your ambitions when they're exposed.

However, they were indeed unclear about the significance behind the Great Mountain Bandit Era and the Mountain Bandit King, as mentioned by Sig.

Is "Mountain Bandit King" an honorary title similar to "Pirate King" in One Piece, or does it mean becoming the king of the Holy Land Mary Geoise and standing at the pinnacle of everyone in the world?

The so-called era of great mountain bandits sounds utterly absurd.

For hundreds of years, this world has been the age of the sea, and the most powerful people have been those who have competed on the Grand Line.

Mountain bandits? They've never been a part of the main stage of this world, in any era.

"That sounds absurd."

Long nodded slightly, but when he thought of the sudden hostility that Sig had shown earlier, he had a feeling that things were not so simple.

Long frowned as he pondered Sieg's words.

"Including himself, is everyone in the world completely unaware of the Mountain Bandit King and the era of the Great Mountain Bandits?"

"Wait...is he implying that this will be a completely new era, one that no one can imagine?"

Under what circumstances could mountain bandits surpass pirates and the navy and ascend to the main stage of this world?

Dragons are truly beyond imagination.

As long as the Grand Line, this special sea area, exists, pirates and the Navy will always be the protagonists of history.

Unless... the Grand Line ceases to exist!

This thought, like a flash of lightning, instantly illuminated the dragon's mind.

He was stunned by the thought that popped into his head.

The Reverse Mountain no longer exists, the Grand Line has disappeared, and the four seas are now completely connected!
