I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The Navy is the strongest military force in the world, bar none, surpassing any of the Four Emperors.

However, the Four Emperors only need to manage their small territory in the New World, while the Navy is responsible for managing all five oceans of the world.

Therefore, although the Navy is powerful, it still seems to be stretched thin in this great pirate era, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea plan is needed to win over the great pirates.

The current situation is very unclear.

The two major battles along the Grand Line resulted in one victory and one defeat, but the Navy suffered heavy losses in both.

Admiral Zephyr is seriously injured and in a coma, and is still receiving treatment. Many of the generals and elite soldiers that Sengoku brought with him also perished at the hands of the Big Mom Pirates.

"Given the current state of our navy, this is not a good time to start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates," Sengoku said.

In this state, even if he could win against the world's strongest pirate crew, the outcome would certainly not be good.

The Navy wants more than just to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates and achieve victory.

What's needed is to maintain a low casualty rate and achieve a resounding victory. If our own navy suffers another heavy blow because of a decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, it would truly be a losing proposition.

“Then, Teach will be temporarily detained in Impel Down.” Kong frowned.

"Since our navy is insufficient, let's postpone the execution..."

As Kong was saying this, a sudden thought occurred to him:

"Perhaps, besides trying...recruiting soldiers to expand our naval strength."

He shook his head halfway through his sentence.

He himself couldn't make the decision on large-scale conscription; he had to consider the World Government's opinion.

Sengoku continued eating his senbei without objection, but then moved on to the next topic:

"Marshal Kong, regarding Sig's death... I feel that things are not simple."

The mere mention of Sig caused Sengoku to feel a headache coming on.

Although this enigmatic figure is dead, the many mysteries he left behind continue to influence the world.

"Oh? No matter how strong Sieg was, he's still dead. What waves could he possibly stir up? Do you think he's Roger?"

Kong didn't take it seriously.

This sea is never short of strong people, but no matter how strong they are, they will soon be forgotten by the world after they die.

Even someone as powerful as Rocks, a once-mighty ruler of the seas, is now only remembered by the older generation and has long been forgotten by the world.

Only Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King who left behind One Piece, has his name still remembered by the world.

Kong's statement was merely a comparison between Sieg and Roger.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Warring States period uttered something completely different from what he had anticipated:

"Like Roger, Sieg left behind a treasure before he died, and he also emphasized the so-called 'change of the times'."

"Moreover, there is something else that is very strange."

The Warring States period also gradually frowned:

"For some reason, rumors have started circulating among the Navy these past few days that Sieg is a resurrected Roger..."

"Fortunately, Sieg is now dead, which has stopped the spread of rumors."

"But speaking of which, Sig's suicide was too sudden. And what about the Black Flame Dragon he mentioned..."

Zhan Guo pondered, his expression grave.

He recalled the discussion he had at Marine Headquarters before the two major battles.

"The Whitebeard Pirates' movements seem to be caused by Blackbeard, but the source of this incident is Higuma's Angel-Angel Fruit!"

"The Big Mom Pirates are clearly here for Higuma!"

"Rayle, a former member of Roger's crew, has been living in seclusion for many years, yet he's willing to stand up for Seagull... and Shanks, who has already established his own faction, has even made a special trip all the way from the New World!"

"Upon closer examination, three of the Four Emperors were drawn into the conflict because of Higuma, and even the long-fallen members of Roger's Pirates were implicated. As for Kaido of the Beasts..."

Zhan Guo didn't finish speaking. He frowned and kept thinking. His thoughts became clearer and clearer, and his speaking speed became faster and faster.

"But the end of this incident was none other than Sieg's death!"

"Marshal Kong, don't you find this strange?"

"It was like a grand drama, which was supposed to be epic and full of ups and downs, but who could have imagined that the climax would be Sieg's sudden death?"

Kong Yi was stunned for a moment.

Yes.

Upon closer reflection, that's indeed the case.

With keen insight, Zhan Guo continued his analysis:

"This shows that he, Sieg, incorporated his own death into the narrative..."

"Perhaps, the rumor that Sieg is Roger resurrected was also spread by Sieg in secret."

"You mean..." Kong also became serious at this point:

"Is there a mole within our navy?"

The Warring States period remained silent, offering no reply, but continued:

"Sig is indeed dead, but a man like him, even in death, will not bring peace to the world."

"Marshal Kong!" Sengoku said solemnly.

"Instead of focusing on the Whitebeard Pirates, I think we should concentrate on continuing to investigate the mystery of Higuma."

"The so-called Black Flame Dragon, the One Piece Another Piece, and... Wano Country occupied by Kaido."

It's no secret that Wano Country has been occupied by Kaido of the Beasts.

The sudden use of "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation" by Sigir earlier also left a lasting impression on Sengoku.

"I'm afraid Sieg is using his own death to weave a shocking conspiracy."

"Perhaps the movements of the three Yonko, the appearance of Roger's former subordinates, and even the death of Higuma himself are just the beginning!"

The Warring States period exhaled.

He still couldn't let his guard down around Sieg, even though he was already dead.

This is big news!

Morgans, president of World Economic News, was caught in a happy dilemma.

"The two major battles on the two sections of the Grand Line involved three of the Four Emperors and the Navy Admirals."

"The pirate king of the sea, Sig, died in battle, but left behind yet another treasure map before his death!"

"Each one is a major news story that could shock the world, worthy of being written about in detail. I never thought I would have such a happy trouble today!"

Morgans could not contain his excitement, but at that moment, a voice came from beside him.

"President Morgans, these topics are all too mundane and not surprising enough. I have a good idea."

Morgans paused, then looked at the guest sitting across from him at his desk.

Charlotte Tiramisu, a renowned journalist for the newspaper, is also one of Bigom's daughters.

“Tiramisu, I remember you were there too. Looks like you already had a draft in mind,” Morgans said with a smile.

Chapter 329 Buried in Earth

"It's not just a mental draft; I've already finished writing the draft. Look."

A blush rose on Tiramisu's face as she handed a manuscript to Morgans.

The latter leaned closer to take a look, and his expression suddenly turned very strange.

Fate is a wonderful thing: The story behind the pirate king Sig and Charmaco Saint.

As is widely known, the name of the East Blue Mountain Bandit King, Higuma, originated in the Goa Kingdom.

On the night the Goa Kingdom was engulfed in flames, the bandit Higuma encountered the World Noble Charm, a fate that forever changed his life...

Much later, the two met again in the Sabaody Archipelago. The difference in status between the bandits and the world's nobles was too great, and there were also the Four Emperors and the Admirals who were in the way. Sig could only express his feelings with a song called "Invincible".

As we all know, the ending of "Invincible" is "Can she, hiding at the edge of the sky, listen to my endless loneliness?" This is actually a hint at the belated arrival of Saint Charles...

Morgans was clearly taken aback. He put down his manuscript, looked at the tiramisu, and stared in disbelief.

"You actually dare to make fun of the Celestial Dragons?"

"President, I think this is a novel approach to the topic. We can delve deeper into the underlying logic of the event, which is very worthwhile to explore. It will definitely be a big news story that attracts attention!"

Morgans looked shocked.

"This...this is simply a tragic fate!"

"Oh no, you're definitely overthinking it."

Morgans recalls that the truth of the matter seems to be that Bigom proposed to Siegfried... What a mess...

Instead of thinking further, he found an excuse to ask the famous reporter to leave, and ultimately let his editors choose a conventional and normal story.

The Battle of Sabaody Archipelago: The Death of the Sea Pirate King

Part of the battle was omitted from the report, and the final result of the battle was that Sigurd died in the melee with the Admirals and the Four Emperors.

After doing all this, Morgans sat alone in his office, a hint of regret on his face.

"It's a real shame that Sig is dead. The online forum's tabloids were just getting on track, weren't they?"

He stood up, his expression slightly desolate.

In fact, as a news king, he can be considered "invincible" in the industry.

The emergence of the online forum's tabloid brought him some comfort.

It's rare to see a small online forum newspaper with the potential to become a viral hit. It might have a chance to challenge the World Economic Herald, but it's currently lacking high-quality content from Sig. I wonder if it will fade away.
