I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

These spare clothes were prepared in advance by Anne, a subordinate of Stussy from Pleasure Street, before Stussy left All Things Island.

Of course, they were all dressed in women's clothing.

Crocdale instinctively reached out to catch it, but after taking a closer look at the women's clothing in her hand, her face immediately darkened.

"what do you mean?"

"Clockdale said coldly."

"Don't worry, these are brand new clothes, no one has ever worn them."

Stussy replied.

Upon hearing this, the veins on Crocdale's forehead bulged even more.

"I will never wear women's clothes again!"

"Clockdale said coldly."

Stussy glanced at her upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.

"Crocodile, he actually wore women's clothing before?"

This is somewhat different from the sand crocodiles that Stusi had in mind.

"Or was it that after he was captured by Sieg, he was made to wear women's clothing beforehand in order to break his will?"

A chill ran through Stussy once more, but he remained outwardly calm.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't change your clothes soon, your true identity will be exposed to everyone on the ship sooner or later."

"There are over two hundred people on this ship. If someone leaks the news..."

Seeing Crocdale remain silent, Stu also revealed a playful smile, and she quietly added:

"If you want to hide your identity, you not only need to dress as a woman, but also highlight your feminine charm."

"That way, others won't associate you with the great pirate Crocodile."

After saying that, Stussy ignored Crocdale and walked out of the warehouse, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

Crocdale was left standing in the room, gritting her teeth and hardening her resolve.

A few minutes later.

Stussy looked at the completely transformed Crocdale without saying a word.

Crocdale chose a black shirt paired with a women's black suit skirt that perfectly hugged her body curves.

The long skirt had a high slit, reaching up to the thigh, exposing a large expanse of skin. Above the slender waist, there were breathtaking curves of the body.

Crocdale, a cigar between her fingers, wearing her familiar black coat, was still puffing away, her gaze cold yet possessing a rare, heroic spirit. The horizontal scar on her face was still there, adding to her dangerous aura.

"Your clothes... fit quite well."

Stussy paused for a moment, but didn't find anything wrong with it. In the end, he simply looked at the golden hook on Crocdale's left hand.

Compared to her appearance or clothing, what's most eye-catching is actually the golden hook in Crocodile's hand.

Seeing this, Crocdale could only remain silent for a moment, then took the golden hook off her hand, leaving only an empty wrist.

However, she was wearing a coat, so unless you looked closely, you couldn't tell anything was wrong.

"That's settled then. Come with me to see Sig."

Stussy said something, then took Crocdale, who had just changed her clothes, and walked away.

Not long after.

Sig was in the room, looking at the completely transformed Crocdale, and fell into deep thought.

Crocodile's casually open coat and cigar-smoked demeanor reminded him of Tashigi, whose body and soul had been swapped more than a decade later...

He has the same carefree, masculine air, but his clothing style is quite bold.

Finally, his gaze fell on Crocodile's empty left wrist.

"Is the golden hook too conspicuous?"

After listening to Stussy's words, Sieg pondered for a moment and said:

“I know a very skilled craftsman. For him, crafting prosthetics shouldn’t be difficult. Perhaps he can help you rebuild a prosthetic that can accommodate the golden hook…”

Sig thought of the craftsman from Wano Country on the Island of All Things.

Crocdale's expression softened slightly, but only slightly.

She knew that all of this was just for show.

No matter how well Crocdale disguised herself, her secrets were already in the hands of Sig and Ivankov.

If Sieg and the others were to reveal her identity, her reputation from the first half of her life would likely become a laughing stock.

Chapter 252 Main Quest Activation

When the newcomer Crocdale appeared on Sig's ship, most of the bandits didn't think much of it, assuming she was just a new comrade sent by the Revolutionary Army.

Anyway, most people in this world are idiots who can't tell the difference between the fake Luffy and the real Luffy. They can even let the fake Luffy fool everyone and gather a large group of pirates and supernovas with bounties of over 100 million.

The name Crocdale is, of course, without the slightest flaw.

Laboon the whale and Sig's armored pirate ship sped forward, their gaze fixed on Moose Island, which the permanent pointer was pointing to.

Although this route is long, we didn't encounter any major obstacles.

Higuma is already a pirate with a bounty of one billion. In the first half of the Grand Line, there are very few people whose bounties can match his.

And the storms and giant waves that ordinary pirates would avoid are also mitigated by Laboon, a whale as large as an island.

Sig's ship has been replaced with an ironclad ship, allowing it to stay in Laboon's stomach for an extended period of time. The original pirate ship, being primarily made of wood, would have been slowly corroded by stomach acid in Laboon's stomach.

Time passed day by day.

As Sieg's ship approached its destination, Mousse Island, he received a phone call.

The call came from All Things Island; it was from Gilman, the person in charge of the local outpost.

"What? New Devil Fruits have appeared in the black market of All Things Island?"

Sieg asked in surprise.

That trip to the Island of All Things earned Sigurd two Devil Fruits.

Although both of these items actually originated from various factions on the island and weren't part of the normal market circulation...

But the appearance of a new Devil Fruit so quickly still surprised Sig.

"Boss, the Island of All Things is one of the major commercial hubs in the first half of the Grand Line, and it's also adjacent to the Reverse Mountain. It's not surprising that Devil Fruits appear here, otherwise why would so many forces from the dark world occupy it?"

Gilman explained over the phone.

Sig thought for a moment.

He left Gilman on the Isle of Everything, partly to collect Devil Fruits.

However, the timing of the Devil Fruit's appearance was a bit too early, and Sigurd didn't really have much savings.

At the last auction, Siegfried earned approximately 240 million Berries using two treasure maps.

However, the subsequent expenses, including purchasing ships, hiring maintenance personnel, and customizing equipment, were also considerable.

Now, Sieg only has a little over 100 million left.

Unlike other forces on Wanwu Island, Sig's only real business is the Tieba News Agency.

Although newspaper sales were good, the business had only been running for a short time and couldn't generate much profit.

"The market price of a Devil Fruit is at least 100 million, and that's only if there's no market for it. The little money I have left probably won't be enough."

Sieg frowned in thought.

To buy new Devil Fruits, he would need to come up with other ways to make money.

"By the way, what kind of Devil Fruit did the one that appeared on the island have?"

"Sig asked."

"Based on the current information, we can only determine that this is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, but we cannot determine which type of Zoan it is," Gilman replied.

Zoan type...

Sig's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

The market price of this type of Devil Fruit is generally lower than that of Logia-type and powerful Paramecia-type fruits.

Of course, this excludes Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruits and Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

"I understand. Keep an eye on the Devil Fruit situation, and I'll let you know how to proceed later."

After hanging up the phone, Sieg fell into deep thought once again.

He had a vague plan in his mind, but...

"It can make money, but it's a bit dangerous..."

"Furthermore, we also need to see if that so-called Angel Fruit is real or fake..."

Sieg sighed deeply.

If he could, he wouldn't want to use his brain or engage in any kind of scheming.

The pirate king of the sea has already made a name for himself, but Sig himself is all talk and no action. He is constantly on the verge of death and can only rack his brains every day to think of a way to survive a few more times.

"This is so hard! When will I be able to complete my big plan and turn my life around?!"

Just as Sieg was sighing deeply, a system notification sounded.

"Main quest triggered."

Main Quest: I'm going to become the Mountain Bandit King!

Mission objective: Become the true king of the mountain bandits.

Mission reward: Unknown.

After glancing at the task panel a few times, Sieg immediately closed it again, deciding to ignore the notification.
