I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"You know Rayleigh is in Sabaody Archipelago?"

Xia Qi was taken aback, her gaze abruptly falling on Sig.

After the Roger Pirates disbanded, all members scattered across the seas. For safety reasons, they basically lost contact with each other and did not know each other's whereabouts.

This reminded Shakky of the last Roger Pirates member to come here.

Red-Haired Shanks!

At the time, Shanks and Rayleigh got completely drunk, and Shanks revealed that a bandit had told him that Rayleigh was living in seclusion on Sabaody Archipelago.

"Is this also related to Sieg?"

Xia Qi's gaze was fixed on Sig.

She was an expert with extensive knowledge and experience, and she didn't believe in coincidences.

"Shanks and Crocus were both deliberately lured here by Sieg... What is this mysterious man up to?"

Xia Qi gradually became wary.

Moreover, Stussy, who was standing next to her, also caught her attention.

The Queen of Entertainment Street is a prominent figure in the world, a giant in the entertainment industry, yet she remained silent beside Sieg, so low-key that even Shakky was somewhat surprised.

And at this time.

With a soft creak, the bar door was pushed open once again.

An elderly man with silver hair and beard, wearing round glasses, stepped in.

The old man was dressed somewhat shabbily, and had a vertical scar near his eye, but he possessed an indescribable charm that made him unforgettable at first glance.

He is a very charming older man.

"Wow, is it so lively today?"

He walked in, his eyes glazed over, and gulped down a mouthful of wine as he entered.

"Rayleigh, you're still the same old you."

A familiar voice suddenly rang out, causing Rayleigh to abruptly stop drinking and recognize the person in front of him.

"Are you Crocus?"

The two elderly people looked at each other with reminiscence in their eyes, smiled, and sat down side by side at the bar, completely ignoring Sieg and the others, and began to talk.

Rayleigh chuckled and raised his glass. "By the way, I saw Shanks a while ago. He said you went back to Twin Capes...that place is quite a distance from Sabaody Archipelago..."

"I really didn't expect you to come here."

Rayleigh is actually a little older than Crocus; he's 66 years old now.

Roger was executed more than a decade ago.

The two elderly people hadn't seen each other for over ten years. If it weren't for Sieg's intervention, given their age, they might never have had a chance to reunite.

Crocus also raised his glass and clinked it with his.

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Sieg."

Crocus glanced at Sieg, his eyes full of amusement:

"He helped me find the Rumbar Pirates and also told me that you live here..."

"Oh? Sig?"

Rayleigh's smile faded slightly as he noticed Sieg standing next to Crocus.

Upon seeing this, Sieg immediately felt uneasy.

Despite the plan, Sig was still quite nervous in front of Rayleigh.

However, Rayleigh didn't say anything; his attention quickly fell on the wine glass in front of Sieg.

"An angel's kiss?"

A hint of reminiscence appeared on Rayleigh's face.

“I remember Roger seemed to really like ordering this.”

Chapter 297 Sig's Body

Inside Xia Qi's extortionate bar.

With a single sentence, Rayleigh directly brought up the matter of the "Angel's Kiss," while subtly observing Sieg's reaction.

This was actually a test on his part.

Rayleigh had become interested in Sieg after Shanks spoke with him.

Anotherpiece, Crocus, Shanks...

Sieg is no simple man at all.

Rayleigh, as the vice-captain of the Pirate King, relies not only on his strength, but also on his meticulous mind.

"An angel's kiss... Is this a coincidence? I don't believe there can be so many coincidences..."

Rayleigh noticed that after saying that, Sieg's eyes seemed to narrow slightly.

This was an extremely subtle movement; if Rayleigh hadn't been deliberately observing, he would never have noticed it.

"Really? Perhaps great minds think alike..."

Sieg's expression remained unchanged, ready to brush it off with a single sentence.

But his heart skipped a beat.

Angel's Kiss is a drink that Roger frequently ordered, based on the memories of a fictional bartender in Luffy's cards.

The key point is that Wang Lufei is essentially a guy on Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A website) whose stories are all made up! The bartender's memories are fake; they shouldn't exist in the first place.

But is this... really just a coincidence?

Sieg didn't have time to think further.

The next moment, he heard Rayleigh ask another question.

"Higurashi, the Pirate King of the Sea, your reputation is quite impressive..."

"And I've also heard that you defeated the Fifty-Six Emperors a long time ago?"

Upon hearing this, Sieg nearly spat out his drink.

Since the colossal lie came to fruition, he is now quite sensitive to these lies.

"Could it be that the lie about the fifty-six emperors has come true? If so, in what way will it be realized?"

Sieg felt a chill run down his spine as he considered a possibility; he even imagined what the future news headlines would look like.

Shocking! Impel Down prison break occurs! Fifty-six legendary pirates escape and declare their intention to challenge Higuma.

Sieg, upon closer examination, was horrified and quickly denied it:

"No, that's not true. You heard that from Shanks, didn't you? It was just a drunken joke."

"is it?"

Rayleigh observed Sig's reaction, smiled slightly, and seemed lost in thought.

However, his aura gradually surged, rising like waves of the sea, eventually becoming a towering, overwhelming force.

Rayleigh maintained a gentle smile, but his aura firmly locked onto Sieg.

The atmosphere around us suddenly became much more somber.

"Ok?"

Sieg was shocked, realizing he had made a mistake.

In his memory, Rayleigh was a very good-tempered person in the original work. But this time, he hadn't even exchanged two words, so why did he seem to be about to attack?

"Is it because I'm not Luffy? Luffy is someone Shanks values... and me..."

"Or maybe Shanks said something to Rayleigh..."

Sieg secretly groaned and felt a pang of regret.

"I shouldn't have shared that drink with Shanks in the first place!"

Under Rayleigh's gaze, the Emperor Engine was involuntarily activated.

Bang, bang, bang bang...

A deep, powerful heartbeat began to resonate throughout the tavern.

Just like that scene in Donghai Windmill Village a long time ago.

Just as the two sides were locked in a tense standoff, a pair of hands gently patted Rayleigh's shoulder.

It's Crocus.

"Rayleigh, stop..."

Crocus said seriously:

“You don’t need to test Sig anymore. He’s already told me a lot of things back at Twin Capes.”

"and...."

Crocus's gaze fell on Sieg, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes:

"Sig's health isn't very good, it reminds me of Roger back in the day... Are you trying to force a sick person to take action?"

Sig felt a slight sense of relief.

As expected! Crocus's favorability wasn't for nothing!

"patient?"

Rayleigh glanced at Sig with surprise, his sharp gaze finally settling on the cuff of Sig's left sleeve.

At this moment, Sieg had abandoned his outlandish and incredibly embarrassing attire and was dressed normally.

However, since the matter of the Black Flame Dragon had already been mentioned, it was difficult to take it back, so Sig did not untie the bandages.
