I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

In the crowd, Gilman's hands trembled slightly as he continued to look at the stack of papers he was holding.

This stack of papers contained dozens of sheets, and apart from the top sheet which had text written on it, every single one of them had the exact same design.

This is a treasure map and a script for reading aloud.

To be precise, it is the third part of the Anotherpiece treasure map.

He had followed Sig’s previous orders, transformed into a half-Den Den Mushi form, and fixed his gaze firmly on the treasure map.

Several days earlier, on the day Gilman arrived in the Sabaody Archipelago, Sieg had given him instructions.

"The Sabaody Archipelago is a thriving commercial island, and there are many places where video Den Den Mushi (snail phones) are present."

"Gilman, what you need to do during this time is to try to communicate with other video Den Den Mushi in Den Den Mushi form."

"At the appropriate time, transmit the treasure map to the other Den Den Mushi on the island via telepathy... and make this treasure map public across the archipelago!"

Is this Boss Sig's plan?

Gilman muttered to himself, his gaze gradually hardening.

"Boss Sig's goal is probably to create chaos on the Sabaody Archipelago at the right time, to attract the navy's attention, muddy the waters, and create an opportunity for retreat."

Gilman muttered to himself, his eyes seeming to shoot out two beams of light. He glanced at Sig's blood-stained back, and finally his gaze fell on the treasure map in his hand.

"This is the last message that Boss Sig wanted to convey at the end of his life. Please help spread it!"

Gilman muttered to himself.

.....

Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped insects) are quite intelligent, and some can even understand human speech.

In addition to voice communication, Den Den Mushi can also communicate with each other through telepathy.

Like the bald man, Gilman was also quite busy during his time in the Sabaody Archipelago.

His training method involved using telepathy to try to communicate with other Den Den Mushi and spread information.

At this moment, the scene in Gilman's eyes was also transmitted through telepathy to one image Den Den Mushi after another on the island.

At Island Plaza No. 75, the video Den Den Mushi (snail phone) showing an open-air movie suddenly paused, and the movie screen froze.

"what happened?"

"Is the machine malfunctioning, or is there a problem with the Den Den Mushi?"

"Huh? The Den Den Mushi is crying? Is it starving?"

To everyone's surprise, the image on the big screen suddenly changed.

The screen shows a devastated battlefield, with a man in the chest, seemingly dead, being supported by an old man.

Meanwhile, Gilman's voice was reciting narration.

"The will passed down through generations, the changes of the times, and people's dreams—these are all unstoppable. As long as people continue to pursue the answer to freedom, all of this will never cease!"

While everyone was still in a daze, the scene changed again.

A treasure map appeared on the big screen, with a line of eye-catching words on it.

"The time has come for the treasure map of the third part of the great treasure left behind by the pirate king of the sea, Sig, to be made public!"

"What? This is a treasure map? Another piece?"

"I remember now, that dead person just now looked like Sieg himself!"

"He died, but he left behind a treasure map before he died!"

Anotherpiece is already quite famous; even those who don't believe in its existence have often heard of the term.

Several people took out their camera Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and took pictures of the treasure map pattern displayed on the screen.

Similar scenes have occurred in many places in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Gilman couldn't force the video Den Den Mushi to act; he could only try to communicate with them using telepathy. However, he only managed to communicate with a few video Den Den Mushi, and the news about the treasure map snowballed.

Chapter 326 Another Yonko

An eerie silence fell over the battlefield of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Navy and the Big Mom Pirates faced off, eyeing each other warily, and were locked in a brief stalemate.

In the shadows on one side of the battlefield.

"Dead? He's really dead."

Blackbeard Teach was filled with mixed emotions, yet he couldn't hide his ecstatic joy.

His first action was to open the package of fruit he was carrying and begin inspecting it.

"My Dark-Dark Fruit... I don't have it?"

"How could there be none? Am I too far away? Is Sig not dead? Or is there some other reason?"

Blackbeard gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down a bit.

After the last incident, he had learned to control his temper.

.........

On the battlefield.

Crocus supported Sig's body with one hand, and the two remained silent for a moment.

Crocus's gaze fell on the blood-stained bandage on Sig's arm, and he asked, "Rayleigh, what are you planning to do next?"

"What else can I do? I can't just leave Sig to do me this last favor." Rayleigh's heart sank slightly, and he sighed.

"But before that..."

Rayleigh fixed his gaze on Sig's corpse.

"Although Sig said he used his life to apply the final seal, who knows how strong the seal on this Black Flame Dragon is?"

Kurocasto had a meal.

"That's true."

The two old men were seriously discussing the Black Flame Dragon Seal beside Sig.

But then, Rayleigh let out a soft "Eh."

He rolled up the cuffs of Sig's body and saw that the hairs on Sig's arm stood up, forming goosebumps.

Rayleigh's expression gradually turned serious.

"Sig is dead, but why does his corpse still give me goosebumps?"

"Could it be...?"

He exchanged a glance with Crocus, an unbelievable thought flashing through his mind, and blurted out:

"Could it be that this is the corruption of the Black Flame Dragon's power? Has Sig's seal failed?"

Crocus looked at Rayleigh in surprise: "How did you come up with this idea?"

He nodded sadly.

"I'm afraid so. I heard Sig mention it on the ship. The Black Flame Dragon's flames are some kind of special strange fire that will bring its host a freezing cold."

"I didn't expect that even after Sig's death, he still couldn't find peace. I'm afraid the Black Flame Dragon's corruption is getting worse!"

"Perhaps, the final seal of Sig will also be broken by the Black Flame Dragon."

As he spoke, Crocus pointed to Sieg's arm:

"Rayle, look, the goosebumps on your arm are getting worse. It must be because the Black Flame Dragon's corrosion has intensified... Wait, Rayleigh, why are you drawing your sword?"

Crocus was speaking when he saw Rayleigh raise his longsword and look at Crocus with a serious expression.

"Sigurd, a man of unparalleled talent and unmatched ability throughout his life, defeated countless heroes! Yet, in the final moments of his life, he sealed away the Black Flame Dragon..."

"How can I stand by and watch his remains suffer an ominous fate, being corrupted or possessed by the Black Flame Dragon!"

Rayleigh was deeply moved and said with righteous indignation:

"Crocas, get out of my way! I'm going to completely destroy Sig's body. Let's see if the Black Flame Dragon can still possess him!"

Rayleigh gripped his longsword tightly, his face unusually serious and righteous.

"What you said...makes a lot of sense."

Crocus was deeply moved and nodded in agreement.

"If Sieg could know this from beyond the grave, he would surely thank you."

After saying this, Crocus suddenly felt the corpse of Sig in his hand tremble slightly.

Crocus's expression immediately changed.

Then he turned to Rayleigh and urged him:

"Rayleigh, act quickly! The Black Flame Dragon seems to be controlling Sig's body!"

Just as Rayleigh was about to strike with his sword, he saw wisps of black flame rapidly rising from the left arm of Sig's corpse, faintly taking the shape of a dragon in mid-air.

Rayleigh was startled and immediately slashed with his sword, but as the sword light passed, the dragon-shaped black flames were completely unharmed and rose into the sky at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the layers of clouds.

Kurokas frowned and deftly removed the bandage from Sig's left arm.

However, there was nothing unusual on Sig's arm; there were no traces of the Black Flame Dragon's erosion or sealing.

"It's too late." Crocus's expression was grave.

"The Black Flame Dragon seems to be intelligent. After overhearing our conversation, it actually broke the seal. Now there is no trace of the seal on Sig's body."

“Rayleigh, let’s deal with Sig’s body later. This battlefield is not the time for such things.”

Rayleigh lowered his sword, about to say something, when a thought suddenly struck him, and he looked towards the coastline.

Along the coast, the sea had long been heavily blockaded by dozens of naval warships, and as far as the eye could see, there were only the heavy sails of warships.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

At the port, the once flat sea rises high, with waves surging and undulating, as if a huge creature has suddenly emerged from beneath the surface.
