I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Moriah's words made Sieg's heart skip a beat.

However, upon closer reflection, he didn't quite believe it.

"I have absolutely no connection with the Big Mom Pirates, so why is she targeting me? You're lying to me."

Sieg directly questioned this.

The only person he ever had contact with was one of Charlotte Linlin's daughters, Tiramisu, who was a reporter.

However, when he thought about that interview, Sieg's expression gradually changed.

He had unintentionally drunk a little alcohol and seemed to have said some things he shouldn't have...

Moria simply snorted in response to Sieg's questioning.

"...Is the reason that she's after your body enough?"

Sig frowned.

Charlotte Linlin did have dozens of husbands, but they were all of demi-human races and had nothing to do with Sieg.

Sieg simply didn't believe it:

"That's a lie. She's probably just lusting after your body."

In Sig's view, Moria and Charlotte Linlin are similar in size and their Devil Fruit abilities are also similar.

Moria can create zombies through his shadows, revive the dead, and create a zombie army.

Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit ability allows her to harvest souls and create Homies, giving sentience to living and inanimate objects such as trees, waves, and hats, thus creating an army of Homies.

If these two sides cooperate, they can complement each other, which will surely allow Charlotte Linlin's power to expand even further.

Moria seemed to have been hit where it hurt by Sieg's reply, and his expression darkened further.

"It won't be long before the old lady arrives at the Sabaody Archipelago. You know best whether she'll be lusting after you then."

Moriah spoke with certainty.

"I'm here this time to cooperate with you and make a deal. We can put aside our past grudges for now."

Sieg did not let his guard down at all.

"Cooperation? That sounds familiar. You're not going to conspire with me again to deal with the Four Emperors, are you?"

Moria had already mentioned the idea of ​​joining forces when Sieg first landed on Thriller Bark, but in the end, he still suddenly turned against it.

Now, almost everything Moria has been taken away by Sieg, along with his ship, and Moria himself almost lost his life. No one would easily believe that.

Moria paused for a moment, knowing that Sieg wouldn't believe him if he didn't reveal more information, so he gave a brief account of what happened, only omitting the part about how he was bound by Tiramisu's seastone chains.

"Sigurd, you seem to have a good ability to adapt to shadows... Only by cooperating with each other and using my [Shadow Gathering Ground] to harvest the shadows of the pirates on this island can we have a chance to defeat Big Mom."

At this point, Moria paused, recalling the crushing defeat from many years ago, and his face darkened.

“Each of the Four Emperors is a force to be reckoned with. I admit you are quite strong, but you only have a chance against the Four Emperors if you join forces.”

"A deal? What are your terms? Tell me."

A thought immediately formed in Sieg's mind.

He still vividly remembers the feeling of being surrounded by over two hundred shadows back then.

"My three subordinates, are they still alive? I heard Perona is still with you. Hand them over to me, and I'll help you harvest the shadows and deal with Big Mom."

Moria's face remained cold and expressionless, but his hands behind his back clenched slightly.

"You want to take that ghostly little girl away?"

Before Sieg could answer, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Before anyone knew it, Crocdale had stepped out from behind Sieg, a cigar dangling from her mouth, and coldly stared at Sieg and Moria.

"We can't let that ghostly little girl leave," Crocdale said coldly.

"Sig, you're not stupid enough to cooperate with Moria, are you? Once he gets his men back, you definitely won't be able to accept his next request."

Crocodile's sudden interruption startled both Sig and Moria, and Moria's face darkened.

"Sig, you can't even discipline your subordinates properly? No one else has the right to interfere in our deal."

However, Sieg did not respond immediately; he was deep in thought.

"Crocodile reminded me for Perona's sake? When did the two of them become so close?"

"No, the important thing is Moria's next request..."

If Moria escapes from Sabaody Archipelago, what will his next move be?

After much thought, Sieg could only connect it to another thing he had taken from Moria.

Terrifying three-masted sailing ship!

This isn't just a ship; it also contains the corpses of powerful figures Moria has collected over the past decade, including the zombie dragon horse, the demon Oz, Captain John, and many more...

These corpses have now lost their shadows and become ordinary corpses, but Moria can quickly make a comeback once he regains control of the ship.

"She's right, cooperating with you is just asking for trouble."

Sieg refused outright.

Having finally found such a remote place as the Thriller Bark, and now with the addition of such a formidable subordinate as Stusi, Sieg is not willing to give up easily.

Moria's eye twitched, as if he had thought of something, and he shook his head and sighed:

"You just want Perona, don't you? I can compromise, as long as you hand over Hogback and the other two to me."

Perona is only 13 years old this year and has not been a member of Moria's pirate crew for long. She is not a long-time crew member who has been collecting corpses around the world with Moria.

Even at such a crucial moment, Moria knew how to compromise.

Of the three oddballs, the surgeon Hogback, who has no fighting ability, is actually the core.

With Hogback, a genius surgeon, Moria was able to create all sorts of stitched-together zombies and dispose of corpses like Oars the Great.

It's important to understand that most powerful warriors die on the battlefield, and their corpses are generally riddled with wounds. Without Hogback, a surgeon who can suture those wounds, it would be difficult to create powerful zombies even with the Shadow.

Without Hogback, Moria's plan to create an army of zombies would certainly face enormous obstacles.

"I've already said I'm not a lolicon..."

Sieg was annoyed. Why did the conversation always veer off to such strange places?

"You bastard..."

Seeing that the deal had fallen through, Moria's face darkened.

"Then I wish you and Bigom a healthy baby soon."

After uttering those words, Moria's body instantly transformed into a black shadow before dissipating and disappearing from the spot.

"Using a technique like [Shadow Warrior] to escape?"

Sig stood there, a slight tremor in his heart, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, Moria seemed to have no intention of fighting him and simply ran away.

However, this also illustrates the urgency of the situation...

Now, Sieg only had one thought in his mind.

"I remember Stusi seemed to be acquainted with the old lady, didn't he?"

"Stusi, save me!"

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

at the same time.

From Marineford, the naval headquarters, dozens of large warships arrived at the port from afar.

On the deck of one of the warships, Vice Admiral Borsalino, wearing a yellow striped suit, was giving instructions to his subordinates.

"You guys wait here, I'm going to a meeting."

Borsalino gave an order, then went ashore and left with the other summoned naval officers.

Shortly after he left, the sailors on deck began to discuss the matter.

"It seems something big is about to happen; headquarters has suddenly summoned a large fleet back to port."

"I heard that this matter seems to be related to that sea bandit king, Sig."

"Nonsense. I heard this involves the Four Emperors. Sigurd's bounty is high, but he's not at that level yet."

The naval officers were caught up in a debate, and no one could convince the others.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd:

"Brother Sentomaru, you've been following Vice Admiral Borsalino around, so you should know the details of this emergency summons, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were drawn to a tall man on the deck.

He was a tall man, with the build of a sumo wrestler, carrying a double-bladed giant axe as tall as a person on his shoulder.

"Don't try to get anything out of me, I'm the most tight-lipped man in the world!"

Sentomaru had a stern face.

Chapter 308 The Connection Between Sieg and Roger

"I'm the most discreet man in the world, how could I possibly leak important information!"

Sentomaru stared at the Marines in front of him with a stern face.

"You're right, we shouldn't have inquired about this kind of thing..."

This righteous and awe-inspiring gaze caused many naval personnel to feel ashamed.

"This summons is ostensibly for the Four Emperors' unusual movements, but the real reason lies with Higumaru!" Sentomaru began to spill the beans:

"Sig has a grand plan, and the unusual movements of the Sea Emperors are all because of him!"
