I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Tiramisu pondered for a moment, then frowned.

"Half a month ago, Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, also entered the Devil's Triangle... What is in that sea that could attract these two great pirates?"

Tiramisu fell into deep thought.

Gecko Moria's pirate ship is Thriller Bark, which is said to be the largest pirate ship in the world, and it houses an island from the West Blue.

The giant ship made quite a commotion when it passed by Mousse Island.

Therefore, I have a deep impression of tiramisu and remember it very clearly.

She hesitated, wondering whether to venture straight into the Devil's Triangle and secretly investigate Sieg's background.

...........

at the same time.

The ironclad warship and the whale Laboon headed together toward the Devil's Triangle.

Having been on the Grand Line for a long time, the moment had finally arrived when they were about to head to the Devil's Triangle. The whale Laboon was quite excited and repeatedly let out a deafening roar.

However, the number of ships along the way became increasingly scarce.

This is a dangerous sign.

Sig wasn't idle either. As soon as he boarded the ship and left the port of Mousse Island, Sig returned to his room and made a phone call back to Wanwu Island.

"Gilman, the treasure map for Another Piece Part II is now in your hands for auction..."

Sieg said earnestly.

If you're looking to profit from auctioning treasure maps, the Sabaody Archipelago, another commercial hub, is a great option.

But... this is too dangerous!

The time ago, the fake Sig appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago, which attracted the attention of Admiral Sengoku. If he were to find any new treasure maps in the Sabaody Archipelago, he would be courting death.

On the Island of All Things, at least under the joint control of the forces of the underworld, the Navy cannot easily intervene.

After the Doflamingo incident, these forces will surely treat this auction with great care.

"A treasure map, something this important..."

On the other end of the phone, Gilman's voice sounded a little hesitant.

He's been handling matters on the Island of All Things and navigating the complexities of the underworld for quite some time now.

Over time, Gilman has gradually adapted to this lifestyle.

But such a heavy responsibility still made him hesitate a little.

Sig paused for a moment on the other end of the phone.

He could read the emotions in Gilman's words.

"That's true... It's a bit difficult for him to do something like this, after all, he's just a small-time bandit from the East China Sea."

Sig muttered to himself.

He seemed to see his former self in Gilman.

"Here's what we'll do. After the treasure map is settled, you can use the Zoan-type Devil Fruit you bought yourself."

"Sig said."

He had underestimated the situation.

Gilman, the leader of the Isle of Everything stronghold, represents the face of Sig.

Sieg is currently riding high, and even if Gilman keeps a low profile, he may still attract unwarranted trouble, just like last time.

The people in Pleasure Street don't really belong to Sig; they're not one of their own, so they might not always arrive on time.

Therefore, Gilman would better improve his personal skills to avoid a mishap.

This is what Sieg is thinking now.

However, to Gilman's ears, it made the blond giant's voice tremble slightly.

"Boss, this is a Devil Fruit worth over a hundred million..."

"Enough said, it's settled then."

His initial intention in purchasing Devil Fruits was to enhance the strength of his subordinates.

Sig still hoped that one day his men would grow stronger and turn around to protect him, the bandit king...

The side effects of Devil Fruits are too great, and Sigurd does not want to eat one at the moment.

Once you become an ability user, the weaknesses of Seastone and seawater become apparent, making it more difficult to change your ways and start anew.

Of course, if there really were some super powerful Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit or Logia-type Devil Fruit, Sigurd wouldn't be so stubborn.

"Boss, there's one more thing."

Just as Sieg was about to hang up, he heard Gilman continue:

"The shocking news department is pressing for the manuscript again, and this time they've made a suggestion."

"The online forum tabloid has a fatal flaw; once improved, and with the help of an economic news agency, it has the potential to become a world-class entertainment news newspaper..."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Sig was also a little tempted.

The World Economic Herald is the world's number one newspaper, with astonishing sales and influence that no one can match.

The profits from newspapers alone were enough to make Morgans one of the kings of the underworld, with branches all over the world and a huge number of news birds.

In the field of news media, even world governments are far inferior to Morgans, and often need to cooperate with this king of news.

This enormous print media empire primarily profits from Morgans' World Economic Herald.

If the "Tieba Gazette" could become a truly world-class newspaper, then Sieg might no longer need to bother with his fake treasure map schemes to make money.

Chapter 266 A World-Shaking News

Gilman gave an answer that made Sieg's eyelids twitch.

"The biggest flaw of the Baidu Tieba newsletter is... its infrequent updates!"

"Other newspapers are spreading rumors that the backer of Tieba News Agency is a very wealthy person who is not short of money at all, which is why the updates are always short! So even though it has the potential to become a blockbuster entertainment newspaper, it has been maintaining the size of a tabloid."

"So?" Sieg asked impatiently.

"Writing a shocking news story is not easy, and even if you urge me, I can't write much more."

If he were a tycoon, would he need to take the risk of creating some fake treasure called Anotherpiece?

"Boss Sig, the Shock Department's idea is to recruit more editors and reporters, and have them imitate your sharp and incisive writing style to make this online forum tabloid a success..."

"After that, we can add other sections or increase sponsor advertising, etc..."

"After all, the Baidu Tieba Gazette is a newspaper, not your personal column, and it doesn't have to rely entirely on you to support it."

Gilman advised.

After much deliberation, Sieg finally nodded.

"...That makes sense. I'll leave this matter to you. The Baidu Tieba News Agency can recruit some editors as appropriate."

"However, you still need to prepare a front-page headline for me."

It's impossible for Sieg alone to handle future serialized comic strips and the like.

More importantly, even after he changes his identity and is no longer the bandit king, the online forum can continue to exist.

After hanging up the phone.

On the Island of Everything, Gilman also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did Boss Sig agree?"

"So, the Tieba News Agency can finally begin its expansion..."

Gilman muttered to himself.

In fact, this suggestion was not made by the Ministry of Shock and Revelation at all.

It comes from Kroo's original 10,000-word strategic plan!

Gilman was the leader of the bandit group's stronghold on Wanwu Island, but in the end, his only business was the Tieba News Agency, which was just an empty shell.

Development requires both money and manpower.

The goal is to gradually transform the online forum newsletter from a small, interest-driven publication into a cash cow, similar to the World Economic Herald.

Based on this, they gradually expanded from a simple newspaper into a dark world force like Morgans's business news agency.

This is one of the cornerstones of Wanwu Island's development strategy.

Recalling their previous conversation, Gilman was deeply moved.

"A Devil Fruit worth over a hundred million, Boss Sigurd is actually going to hand it over to me?"

"But so much time has passed and I haven't accomplished anything yet... How can I be worthy of the boss's trust in me?"

"Not only have they entrusted me with an important task, but they're also preparing to give me a Devil Fruit..."

Gilman was filled with apprehension, feeling deeply unworthy of his position.

After a long period of fear, a resolute expression appeared on his face.

"It seems we need to work even harder and not let the boss down."

He looked up and glanced at the small hill behind him.

The rock face at the top of this small hill has been carved into a blurry giant human head.

Mountain Bandit King Rock Statue!

This was created based on a previous large-scale portrait of Siegfried, but it is only in its initial stages and far from being completed.

"I heard that Rain City in neighboring Alabasta is also building a statue of Boss Sig?"

"How can we, on this Island of All Things, fall behind?"
