I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Perona instinctively shrank her neck and hugged the large teddy bear next to her, her voice trembling slightly.

Crocdale paused for a moment, then said, word by word:

"Try me again with your negative spirit."

Upon hearing this, Perona was also taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth with one hand and let out a soft laugh.

"Ho ho ho ho... This is the first time, no, the second time I've heard such a strange request."

"Upon closer inspection, aren't you the one who was lying on the ground earlier...?"

"You talk too much nonsense."

Crocdale glared at her:

"What Sieg can do, I can do too."

Crocdale knew perfectly well that what Sieg had told her before was true.

She has become weaker after being defeated by Whitebeard.

It's not just a matter of neglecting training and relying too much on fruits that has weakened physical skills.

The key is her heart!

She began to rely on external things, seeking the power of ancient weapons.

If Sieg can train his willpower through negative ghosts, why can't she?

That glare made Perona swallow the rest of her sentence.

"How terrifying... But you asked for it yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

Perona reached out and beckoned, and a semi-transparent negative ghost passed right through her.

Crocdale's body immediately and predictably slumped down again, her eyes lifeless, and she uttered more discouraging words:

"Can I really turn the tables and defeat Sieg in my lifetime?"

A few minutes later.

Crocdale, with a gloomy face, got up from the ground again and walked away without saying a word.

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

Having learned that the Negative Spectrum could boost the synergy of Usopp's cards, Sig has been indulging in it for the past few days.

He would probably have Perona use Ghost to attack a dozen times a day.

Furthermore, every time Sieg lets the negative ghost pass through him, Crocdale always appears nearby, intentionally or unintentionally, and then her expression grows increasingly worse...

In this way, Usopp's card compatibility steadily increased, eventually reaching 70%.

Then, the system notification sound that Sig had been wanting to hear finally rang out.

"The second card has a 70% compatibility, granting you one card draw opportunity."

Without hesitation, Sieg's mind once again entered the sea of ​​stars.

Draw a card!

As endless starlight converged, a silver card appeared before Sig.

"A silver card, a B-grade card?"

The card quickly flipped, and this time it showed a young man in a black suit and white glasses.

What caught Sieg's attention more than his appearance and clothing were the young man's facial expressions and movements.

The young man in the card has an exaggerated smile on his face, looking at the walking stick he's holding...

Possession Card: Naruaki Utsumi (100%)

Quality: Grade B

Source: Kamen Rider Build

Limitation: twice

Character Restriction: Others

Ability: Temporary Allegiance -------- If the check is passed, the target will immediately change their will and pledge temporary allegiance to the host. The temporary allegiance will expire after a certain period of time.

Chapter 286 Whispering Fruit

Inland Sea Chengzhang Card....

Judging from the card's effect, it's similar to the "True Fragrance" card that Sig previously obtained; it's a card that can distort people's will.

However, the difference is that the "True Fragrance Card" is a slow change in the character's will, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, and the specific time of change is unknown.

While this card, if tested, can immediately change the opponent's will, it is not a permanent solution; it only takes effect for a short period.

"It's somewhat similar to Perona's Negative Specter, which can alter someone's will in a short period of time..."

In some ways, the system cards are indeed somewhat similar to certain unreasonable Devil Fruits.

The Luffy card also had a strange chemical reaction with Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability, allowing Sigurd to contain 245 shadows in one body.

Sieg pondered for a moment, and an idea had already formed in his mind.

However, before he could put it into practice, the Den Den Mushi next to him rang.

This call came from Wanwu Island.

"The second part of the treasure map sold for 800 million?"

Sieg was startled and somewhat surprised.

The price of this treasure map was actually higher than that of the first treasure map?

But it was just a fake treasure map.

This filled Sieg with both joy and some worry.

"It might be due to the Angel Fruit... It seems things have really gotten out of hand."

Sig originally only wanted to forge a treasure map to make a little money to buy Devil Fruits or for his own extravagance.

But treasure maps have fetched such high prices...

"This means that the existence of the Angel Fruit has probably become deeply ingrained in people's minds."

"This may not fool everyone, but I'm afraid a considerable number of powerful forces have already believed it."

Sieg was worried.

"Boss Sig, in addition to that, another Devil Fruit has appeared on the black market of Wanwu Island."

"This fruit belongs to the Paramecia type, and its name is the Whisper-Whisper Fruit."

On the other end of the phone, Gilman's words made Sieg frown once again.

The Whisper Fruit's effect is rather lackluster; it only grants the user the ability to communicate with animals, allowing them to share their innermost thoughts with other people or animals.

This fruit is even more useless than the Silence-Silence Fruit; it's not a fruit that can immediately enhance one's strength.

"Buy them. There are no useless Devil Fruits in this world. Uselessness is just due to underdevelopment... Whisper-Whisper Fruit, and that unknown Zoan-type Devil Fruit, get them both."

Ultimately, Sieg made this decision.

I glanced at the system panel that appeared beside me.

Among Sig's missions is "to earn one billion." A treasure map sold for eight hundred million, and with the long-term profits from the Tieba tabloid, the mission progress is already close to 90%.

"The Baidu Tieba tabloid is my cash cow. Next time I create a big news story, maybe that will be enough to complete the mission."

The thought crossed Sieg's mind.

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

A moment later.

The master bedroom of the Gothic castle.

Sig sat in the chair, glanced at the clock, and waited with a hint of nervousness.

Time passed second by second, and Sieg sat up straight, sweat glistening on his back.

He has an idea regarding who should use the Utsumi Nariaki card.

Within Sig’s band of bandits, there are two individuals who pose a significant obstacle to the plan to change their identities.

If this obstacle cannot be overcome, it won't just be a problem of Sieg finding it difficult to leave...

"Mr. Sieg, you were looking for me?"

Stussy strode in with a flawless smile on his face and closed the door behind him.

The two were alone in the room once again.

"Stusi, do you know why I've come to see you this time?"

Sieg stood up, gazing through the window at the distant mist, his back to Stussy, and feigned composure.

He felt a little nervous.

Sieg has always been wary of Stussy.

Stussy knows a lot and has a very special identity.

Upon hearing this, Stussy chuckled softly:

"I guess Mr. Sieg wants to talk about those huge black shadows deep in the mist?"

"I can't help with that either, and I know nothing about it."

Sieg abruptly turned his head, looked directly into Stussy's eyes, and said, word by word;

"wrong."

"What I want to talk about today is about you."

The atmosphere in the room gradually became heavy.

Bang bang bang bang...
