I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"So easy to talk to?"

Sig was about to voice his thoughts.

But suddenly, he felt a slight stirring in his heart as he sensed a gaze upon him.

Sig turned his head slightly.

He noticed a little girl with big, blinking eyes staring at him from behind a pillar beside him.

"Vivi?"

Sig suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

At that time, Weiwei was only six years old. Her long, light blue hair was as smooth as satin, and she had a fair complexion that was rare in this desert kingdom. She looked just like a delicate porcelain doll.

“Princess Vivi, His Majesty Cobra said that we must not disturb the distinguished guests.”

Behind her, a maid quickly picked up Weiwei and carried her to the back.

Sieg's gaze fell on Vivi, who was being held by a maid, and he seemed lost in thought, as if pondering something.

"Is this the little princess of Alabasta? She will surely be the most beautiful flower in this desert kingdom in the future."

Sieg casually remarked in praise.

He would rather see Weiwei, who is six years old and gradually growing up, than his six-year-old daughter Weiwei.

"Yes, Vivi will definitely be the cutest princess in the world in the future."

Cobra watched his daughter gradually disappear into the distance, a smile on his face as he sighed.

But at that moment, a thought flashed through Cobra's mind.

"Wait... didn't Sig say he wanted to make a small request?"

"Why did he suddenly mention Weiwei?"

"Could it be that Sieg's request is...?"

Cobra, who had been smiling, gradually lost his smile and began to carefully observe Sig's facial expression.

Could it be that...?

Were the previous rumors true? Is Sieg really a lolicon?

Cobra went to Rain City to protect Vivi from the world's strongest lolicon, Sigurd, and informed Crocodile and the Marines.

But after witnessing Sig's heroic act of saving Rain City, Cobra's impression of Sig was also reversed.

Seeing is believing. This glorious image of a hero is completely different from the notorious reputation of being a major criminal or thug in the newspapers!

He was clearly the hero who saved Rain City, how could he possibly be a lolicon?

It's a rumor, it must be a rumor!

But now, Kobra's father's instincts were giving him a frantic warning.

His resolve had begun to waver.

He saw that Sieg's expression had also become serious.

"Then I'll just say it directly."

Sieg took a deep breath and said:

"I hope the Kingdom of Alabasta can help promote a dance from my homeland."

"Stop talking! I will never hand Weiwei over to you!"

Cobra blurted it out.

The two spoke almost simultaneously, and both were momentarily stunned.

"Cough cough..."

Cobra coughed lightly, pretending nothing had happened, and immediately changed the subject:

"What kind of dance? Mr. Sig has such an interest?"

Sig's expression also looked a little unpleasant.

After thinking about it for a moment, he could roughly figure out that Cobra had probably misunderstood him.

"It's all because of those beady eyes, they ruined my reputation..."

Suppressing his own thoughts, Sieg continued to explain:

"Here's what happened."

“In my hometown, there is a traditional dance that brings joy to people, but as times change, young people are increasingly unwilling to dance this dance.”

Sieg took a sip of his drink, smacked his lips, and said solemnly:

"This dance is undoubtedly a precious intangible cultural heritage of my hometown, and I cannot stand by and watch it be lost."

"I see..."

As Cobra listened, he couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Sieg.

He suddenly felt that the figure of Sieg in front of him had suddenly become even taller.

This is not just about being a lolicon, nor is he merely a hero who saved the city... He also possesses such a strong sense of responsibility, taking it upon himself to promote traditional culture.

Cobra was also quite moved by this.

The Kingdom of Alabasta has a long history, dating back 800 years to the founding of the World Government.

As time went by, many of Alabasta's traditional guesthouse cultures did indeed disappear into the annals of history.

"How can someone like this have a bounty of one billion?"

Cobra muttered to himself, a smile returning to his face.

What kind of dance is it?

Cobra pointed to a large open space next to the banquet.

"Mr. Sig, why don't you demonstrate right here? I'd also like to experience the exotic charm from the East China Sea."

Kobra laughed loudly.

"That's exactly what I was thinking too."

Sieg laughed, then gave an order;

"Joseph, Johnny, perform that again."

"Yes, it's the kind of dance you're best at."

"Chopsticks Dance".

Joseph and Johnny exchanged a glance.

They had also drunk quite a bit and were gradually getting excited.

"Johnny, I never imagined we'd be on a stage like this one day... This is a royal palace!"

Joseph slurred.

"Joseph, has our life been worthwhile?"

The bounty hunter duo were caught up in a strange sense of emotion, and then they went up on stage one by one. Under the expectant gazes of Cobra and the others, they resolutely stuck chopsticks into their nostrils.

The Chopsticks Dance is back!

"puff--"

Kobra, who was originally looking forward to the exotic scenery of the East China Sea, suddenly burst out laughing.

Not only him, but also the guard captain Icarus and Bell, who were sitting upright and guarding him, were completely dumbfounded.

Then came a burst of laughter.

Unbeknownst to them, the atmosphere of what was originally a rather formal royal banquet had changed.

Amid the laughter, Sieg calmly glanced at the virtual panel floating beside him.

Sieg's idea for the chopsticks dance was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

There was another task on his task panel.

"Task: Everyone do the chopsticks dance."

"Task requirement: Get 15 story characters to perform the chopstick dance. (2/15)"

"Mission Rewards: One Possession Card: Joseph, and one Possession Card: Johnny."

In the original work, the Alabasta arc is a very long arc with many named characters, far more than 15.

Sig's real goal was to spread the idea of ​​the chopsticks dance in an attempt to achieve his mission objective.

That is, to have all the characters in this desert kingdom perform the chopstick dance.

This was Sig's purpose in coming to the royal city of Albana.

Today, Sig spreads the spark of the Chopsticks Dance here.

In the future, this spark will surely start a prairie fire!

By then, the mission objectives for the 15 main characters will be incredibly easy!

"I was so clever!"

Sieg raised his glass and toasted to his cleverness.

Chapter 241 Dance of Heroes

The atmosphere at the banquet changed instantly when the bounty hunter duo performed their chopstick dance.

The previous serious atmosphere vanished, replaced by a cheerful ambiance.

Cobra and the others were completely dumbfounded, gazing blankly at the exotic scenery from the East China Sea.

However, one minister finally couldn't stand it any longer.

'Rude! Vulgar!'
