I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Once Sig figured out the card's specific effects, he simply changed his appearance back to Sig's.

"Speaking of which, this ability feels a bit familiar... someone who has hundreds of aliases and can become a pirate, a bandit, or a marine at will..."

Sieg pondered for a moment, then his expression gradually changed.

He thought of someone.

Panda Man!

"Could it be that the true identity of the Pandaren is actually me, Sigda?"

For a fleeting moment, a ridiculous thought even crossed Sieg's mind.

Then, Sieg immediately pulled out the newspapers he had just been reading again.

After carefully examining it this time, Sieg got goosebumps all over his body.

One of the photos in the report about the sandstorm in Rain City showed a crowd of people in Rain City.

The panda man once again appeared seamlessly among the crowd!

"It's him again!"

Sieg felt a chill run down his spine.

It was in Loguetown that Sieg first discovered the existence of the Pandaren.

During the events on the Isle of All Things, the Pandaren suddenly disappeared. Siegfried momentarily thought he had escaped their clutches...

I can't believe it's happening again!

"Are the panda people stalkers who ate the Tail-Tail Fruit? Why are they following me?"

Just as Sieg was feeling agitated, someone knocked on the door.

"Boss Sig, Crocodile is awake."

A thought struck Sieg, and after a moment's thought, he looked up and said;

"Bring Kro over here."

Crocodile has now been captured by Siegfried, but what to do with him remains a problem.

Therefore, Sieg decided to discuss it with Kro first.

A moment later, Crocodile arrived, and Sieg briefly recounted Crocodile's story.

"Boss, you want Crocodile to work for you?"

Kro paused slightly, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

In Crocodile's mind, he, Crocodile, and Sieg are actually all the same kind of people.

Equally ruthless and cunning, they wear a glamorous mask.

However, compared to Crocodile and Siegfried, Kro believed that his ambition and skills were still far inferior to those two.

After all, Black Cat just wanted to be a wealthy old man in the countryside.

What the sand crocodile truly desires is an ancient weapon capable of destroying the world.

As for the bandit king, Sig... his ambitions are probably even greater...

After some thought, Crocodile, with the information provided by Sig, had a plan in mind and revealed his strategy to test Crocodile.

After hearing what Kro said, Sieg was slightly surprised, but he remained calm on the surface.

He patted Chloe on the shoulder and smiled.

"That's right, it coincides with what I was thinking."

"I'll give you half a day off this time. Don't go to work yet. Come with me to see Crocodile."

Sieg smiled.

Before leaving, Sieg had a sudden thought and took the newspaper he had just been reading with him.

..............

After a while.

In a cabin on the lower deck of the pirate ship, Higuma and Crocodile looked at each other again.

Crocodile suffered a near-fatal injury at the hands of Higurashi, especially from Higurashi's final strike. However, with Crocus's help, after being unconscious for several days, he finally woke up today.

At this moment, Crocodile was wrapped in several layers of bandages and was also wearing a pair of Seastone shackles, which restricted his Devil Fruit ability.

These sea stone shackles were something Baldy took with him when he left the Rainy Casino cell.

However, despite his lingering injuries and the sea stone shackles binding him, the sand crocodile's face was pale, his breath weak, but his demeanor remained cold and sinister.

When he saw Sieg enter, he ignored him completely, not even raising an eyebrow.

"Crocodile, you are much weaker than I thought."

Sieg spoke calmly.

At the same time, Crocodile handed a newspaper to Crocodile.

This newspaper contained news related to the sandstorm incident, including Crocodile's $600 million bounty and a detailed look at some of Crocodile's earlier achievements.

That is... the great battle with Barrett, the descendant of the devil, which is known throughout the world.

Chapter 237 Warning of the New World

"Crocodile, you are much weaker than I thought."

Sieg said something he himself didn't believe, without any expression on his face.

To be fair, Crocodile's performance was much better than Siegfried had expected.

Having pre-arranged a seastone trap, and utilizing the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit, they unleashed a sandstorm far exceeding their own strength, powerful enough to destroy the city...

Sieg nearly crashed several times.

However, he continued speaking calmly, following the pre-written script:

"The Crocodile who was once able to fight Barrett to a standstill has set his sights on the Ancient Weapons since his failed challenge against Whitebeard."

"Did you realize that the gap between your strength and Whitebeard's was too great, so you abandoned personal martial arts and turned to the military power of the Ancient Weapons instead, Crocodile?"

Sieg stared directly into Crocodile's eyes and said coldly:

"That's why you've become weaker over the years."

Crocodile slightly raised his eyelids and looked up at Sieg.

"Sig, don't think that just because you won once, you have the right to tell me what to do."

His tone was chilling, and his face remained cold, showing no awareness of being a prisoner.

"Did you only win once?"

Sieg smiled but didn't say anything.

Chloe, standing next to him, pushed up her glasses with the heel of her hand and spoke up:

"Crocodile, you once said that no one in the desert could defeat you."

"You used traps and abilities to trigger the sandstorm ahead of time, but that's irrelevant."

"After all, there's no such thing as 'despicable' in battles between pirates."

As Crocodile said this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for him.

He and Crocodile are similar types of people, both ruthless and cunning, and even have the same slicked-back hairstyle.

Whether it's outward appearance or inner qualities, Chloe could sense a certain similarity between the two.

But Crocodile's skills are indeed beyond his reach.

Although Baiji Keluo is very resourceful, his strength and vision were limited in the past. It was only after following Sig that his vision and vision gradually broadened.

Crocodile.

Kro spoke:

"You used so many schemes on your most proud desert home turf, but in the end you still lost to Boss Sig."

"After scheming a thousand times, you still couldn't overcome Boss Sig's overwhelming strength. You call this just winning once?"

Kro sneered.

Crocodile glanced at Clod, but remained silent for a moment.

After a long pause, Crocodile finally spoke:

"Sieg, what brings you here? Are you here specifically to provoke me, the...loser?"

Crocodile raised his head, revealing a mocking smile.

Before Sieg could speak, Crocodile continued:

"I admit you're stronger."

"But if it's nonsense about joining forces with me, then there's no need to say it."

He chuckled coldly, his chilling eyes fixed on Sieg:

"I will not join forces with anyone, even if I am now your prisoner or die at your hands."

Sig's heart sank slightly.

Crocodile's reaction was even stronger than he had expected.

This seems to be a man who refuses to be subservient to others and is ambitious. After all, many years later, he still longs to take Whitebeard's head.

However, Crocodile next to him didn't react much. He simply took out a bounty poster from his pocket, which was Crocodile's current bounty poster.

"Boss Sig, a net worth of 600 million is no small sum."

“Since he refuses to yield…” A cold smile appeared on Kroo’s face, his round glasses reflecting a chilling light:

"Boss, why don't we hand him over to the World Government and get the bounty?"

Kro's words were laced with a strong threat.
