I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The two elderly people exchanged a glance, both deeply understanding each other.

Both of them are getting old.

And at this time.

Clang.

Sieg slammed his glass on the bar, his eyes glazed over, already slightly tipsy.

"It's alright, I can answer these questions too."

Sieg laughed heartily, instantly displaying his heroic spirit.

Yes.

He thought of the past once again, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

"I, Sig, have traversed a lifetime of glory, and I am second to none! Back then, I single-handedly suppressed fifty-six Emperors on the Grand Line, and I fought against extraterrestrial beings on the Infinite Land. When have I ever retreated!"

Sigten jumped up from his chair.

His eyes were bright and piercing, as if a fire was burning within them.

"It's just a mere Black Flame Dragon now, nothing special!"

"Even if my body deteriorates and I have to suppress and seal the Black Flame Dragon with one hand, I am still invincible in the world!"

This moment.

Sieg was completely unlike his usual calm and indifferent self; he exuded an imposing aura, looking down upon the world!

"Fifty-six emperors? An infinite land?"

Rayleigh didn't understand everything Sieg said, but those two words alone sent a jolt through him.

Just moments ago, Sieg was denying that he had suppressed the fifty-six emperors, but now he has changed his tune.

Rayleigh glanced at the empty wine glass in Sig's hand, then looked at the sharp-tongued Sig, and suddenly understood.

"Was that composed demeanor just a disguise for Sig? It seems that the Black Flame Dragon is indeed not to be underestimated and is a major threat to Sig."

"He was so provoked that he blurted out the truth after drinking."

Chapter 299 Roger Pirates Class Reunion?

What intrigued Rayleigh was not only the fifty-six emperors, but also an infinite land.

This is a rather obscure term; only a very few people who know the truth about the world know what "infinite earth" refers to.

Coincidentally, both Rayleigh and Crocus followed Roger along the Poneglyphs, and they knew many secrets.

"Infinite Earth..."

Night had fallen, and Rayleigh glanced through the window at the moon, which was faintly visible through the clouds in the night sky.

The infinite earth refers to the moon in this world.

But even Rayleigh and the others knew very little about the more specific details.

All they knew was that the moon was another landmass, and perhaps it also harbored life...

"Information about the Infinite Land is not something ordinary people can access... Sig said he's fighting extraterrestrial beings on the Infinite Land?"

Rayleigh asked tentatively:

"Sigurd, putting aside the matter of the Fifty-Six Emperors, what are you referring to as the Space War? I've never heard Shanks mention that before."

Sig gave Rayleigh a deep look.

"Shanks? What I told him back then was only a small part of the truth. There are many things he doesn't know."

“There’s no point in talking about these old stories. We have to keep moving forward in life… Let’s get down to business.”

Serious business...

Rayleigh's heart stirred slightly.

Sig and his group arrived unexpectedly. They had accidentally started chatting earlier, and Rayleigh was unaware of Sig's purpose in coming.

Sieg's imposing aura subsided slightly, and his gaze fell on Rayleigh and Crocus. He suddenly smiled and said:

"Crocas, it must have been more than ten years since you and Rayleigh last saw each other, right?"

Crocus was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't expected Sieg to bring up this question again after saying they wanted to talk about serious matters... but he nodded nonetheless.

"The Roger Pirates were scattered all over the world... So many years have passed, and we've all grown old."

Sieg raised his glass again, tilted his head back, and drank it down, sighing.

These words made Crocus and Rayleigh both glance at Sieg.

Sieg's age is so young that he could be considered to be in his thirties, but it's not impossible that he's in his forties or fifties.

But Rayleigh and his companion are both over sixty years old...

However, this is not entirely unreasonable.

Rayleigh unconsciously glanced at Shakky, who was still mixing drinks behind the bar, out of the corner of his eye.

Shakky is not young anymore; she is of the same generation as Rayleigh, but she looks only in her twenties or thirties.

Sig might be similar to Shakky, the type who... pays great attention to skincare and is naturally beautiful?

Rayleigh didn't dwell on the issue, because he was captivated by what Sieg said next.

"Seeing you all reunited really touched me," Sig said earnestly.

"But since it's such a rare opportunity for you to reunite, why not put in a little more effort and invite Shanks and the others over for a proper get-together, like a Roger Pirates reunion?"

Rayleigh was speechless for a moment, then gave Sieg a complicated look.

Isn't Sieg a little too enthusiastic?

He was quite grateful to Sig for helping him reunite with Shanks and Crocus... but in the end, Sig was an outsider, not a member of Roger's crew.

Sig was still counting on his fingers when he continued:

"Jabbar, Bucky, and Barrett... Oh right, Barrett's still in Impel Down, she probably won't be able to make it..."

I ran into Pakistan in the East China Sea a while ago; he looked quite energetic...

"By the way, Rayleigh, didn't you say you saw Shanks a while ago? You must have gotten Shanks' Den Den Mushi number, right?"

"Don't hesitate, just talk to Shanks. He's become one of the Four Emperors, so his information channels must be very strong."

Rayleigh was about to refuse, but when he heard the familiar names that Sieg came out, he hesitated for a long time.

After being reunited with Crocus for so long, and fueled by the alcohol, his heart seemed to have softened considerably.

Rayleigh, as if possessed, picked up the Den Den Mushi from the counter, dialed Shanks' number, and chatted casually for a few minutes on the phone.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sieg slapped his forehead and continued speaking:

"Oh, right, there's one more person... who was also a member of your Roger Pirates. His name is... what was it again? Bear something?"

Sig blinked and glanced at Crocus.

At that glance, both of them fixed their gazes on each other.

“Pandaman!” Crocus blurted out.

In fact, this was one of the reasons why he and Sig came to find Rayleigh; he and Sig had discussed this matter at Twin Capes before.

However, Sieg and Crocus forgot to mention it for a moment.

"Pandaren? What's that?" Shanks' voice asked over the phone.

Crocus put down his wine glass, his expression becoming much more serious. He began to briefly recount what Sig had said at Twin Capes.

"Did Sieg meet Roger under a different guise back then?"

Rayleigh's heart stirred slightly.

"No wonder Sieg is so enthusiastic... He does know Roger, but not in this form."

The ability to change one's appearance makes sense. Not to mention Devil Fruits, even a seasoned CP0 member like Stussy could fool most people with makeup alone, without using Life Return.

Crocus has also witnessed Sieg's abilities firsthand, which can serve as evidence.

However, another thing immediately made Rayleigh frown.

"Did a mysterious panda-man once infiltrate our Roger Pirates?"

Neither Rayleigh nor Shanks on the other end of the phone initially believed it.

But as Crocus revealed more information, especially after showing the Pandaren's bounty, both of them gradually fell silent.

This is indeed very strange.

"This person seems to exist, but also seems not to exist; the impression is very vague... Is it because too much time has passed?"

Rayleigh frowned and pondered deeply, but to no avail.

Rayleigh and Shanks' reactions were exactly the same as Crocus's back then.

"Don't you have any clue either?"

After mentioning the Pandaren, Siegfried's consciousness cleared up slightly.

Unraveling the mystery of the Pandaren may not necessarily require Siegfried's own efforts.

Although Rayleigh is just a reclusive old man, he has Shakky, a master informant, by his side. Shanks, as one of the Four Emperors, is unlikely to have weak intelligence capabilities either.

The Pandaren's affairs have clearly piqued their interest, which is much easier than Siegfried having to investigate it himself...

If these two factions can't find any clues about the Pandaren even after searching diligently, then Siegfried can pretty much give up on the "Mists of Pandaria" quest.

Chapter 300 Two Emperors Move Together!

One day before Sieg arrived in the Sabaody Archipelago.

On a distant ocean in the New World, the Moby Dick, a pirate ship shaped like a beluga whale, is sailing through the waves.
