I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Hehehehehehehehehehehe..."

A low laugh echoed from inside the coffin; Sieg couldn't contain his joy.

Wait... there's no one else here, so why did my laughter turn into a cacophony?

Sig was startled when he heard himself laugh.

He's gotten a little too into character... Without realizing it, he seems to have really become the middle-aged man with a delusional disorder who's sealing away the Black Flame Dragon...

After calming himself down, Sig immediately prepared a new character card: Gian.

Suddenly, Sieg felt a surge of power rising in his arms.

The compatibility of the Fat Tiger card is still 0%, but it is already able to possess some of the character's abilities.

call....

Sieg stretched out his arms, struggling to support himself against the coffin lid, trying to get out of the coffin...

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

It was already night.

The bright moon hangs high, its light cool as water, casting a silvery glow across the ground.

The not-so-bright moonlight, falling on this cemetery, made it seem even more eerie and shadowy.

A little girl, around ten years old, was carrying a small bag and walking alone on a path near the cemetery.

Suddenly, she heard a faint sound coming from the nearby cemetery.

"...Are you there?"

The little girl shuddered and looked around a few times, but couldn't see anyone else.

"Who...who is it?"

The little girl asked tentatively in a low voice, but received no response.

The sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the cemetery... which made her feel a little uneasy.

"There are no ghosts in this world... That voice sounded a bit urgent, it must be someone who needs help, maybe they're lost in the cemetery?"

The little girl thought for a moment, then mustered her courage and walked step by step into the cemetery.

There were quite a few graves in this cemetery, and the little girl gradually became disoriented as she walked through it.

However, she suddenly trembled and stopped in her tracks.

"Hehehehehehehehe..."

She heard a low, chilling laugh.

The laughter was very low, and the direction from which it came seemed ominous... it sounded like it was coming from underground?

Her body froze instantly, her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and she couldn't walk anymore. She could only stiffly turn her head and look in the direction of a grave.

After a brief silence, unsettling creaking sounds emanated from the ground beneath the grave.

Then she saw a hand emerge from the soil.

Chapter 331 Rising from the Coffin

"what---"

In the moonlight, the little girl screamed in fright at the sight and stood frozen in place.

Then, the grave in front of her suddenly rose up, and a tall figure emerged from it.

This was a tall man with blond hair, an indifferent expression, cold and stern features, and a long, narrow scar on his left eye, which added to his already terrifying appearance.

It was Sieg, now sporting a new King face.

Upon hearing the little girl's scream, Sig immediately realized that someone was around and used his skin function to switch his appearance to that of KING.

Sig crawled out of the mound of earth and looked around. He saw that it was a cemetery and a little blue-haired girl was standing in the distance, looking at him with a look of terror.

"So I really was buried in the cemetery?"

Sig was a little confused and looked around before muttering to himself.

However, when this sound reached the little girl's ears in the distance, it made her even more flustered, and she couldn't even speak properly.

"You... ghost..."

Upon hearing this, Sieg suddenly realized something.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, I'm alive..."

Sieg gently curled the corners of his mouth, trying his best to show a kind smile.

However, Sig has always been used to playing the role of a cold and powerful bandit king, and even when he tries to show a friendly smile, he doesn't quite do it well.

Under the moonlight, the blond man's smile was stiff, like a cold laugh, which sent chills down one's spine.

"Don't come any closer..."

The little girl instinctively took a few steps back, her voice already trembling with tears. She stretched out her hand and opened her palm, where a pale purple flame was quietly burning.

"Huh? Am I a Devil Fruit user, or did I transmigrate?"

Sieg paused for a moment, then saw the little girl, with tears in her eyes, throw the pale purple flame in her hand at him. The pale purple flame drifted slowly through the air.

The flame drifted slowly, and Sieg didn't pay much attention to it. He simply turned slightly to the side and let the flame pass.

The flames did not hit Sig; instead, they landed in the pit of Sig's grave and disappeared into the soil.

The soil was enveloped in a layer of pale purple light, and then transformed back into a flat patch of soil, seemingly untouched.

Sig stared blankly at the changes to the grave: "Where did my grave go?"

"It seems this child really is a power user."

Sieg turned back to look at the little girl, only to see that she had already taken the opportunity to run away into the distance and was almost out of sight.

"Wait a minute, I'm really not a bad person... never mind."

Sig ran a few steps, but felt hungry and weak, so he stopped and touched his face helplessly.

"What a blunder... I should have changed the face to that of the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) teenager Yuta Togashi. He should have been more approachable to this kind of little girl."

To be fair, KING's appearance is much more intimidating than the original Sig, exuding the aura of a true strongman.

Returning to his own grave, Sieg glanced at his tombstone a few times.

An unremarkable tombstone, inscribed with "Tomb of Sieg," was no different from the other tombstones around it.

"After all, I'm a wanted criminal, so it's not appropriate for me to be too high-profile."

Sieg muttered a few words, then suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

The grave of Sig? His name is inscribed on the tombstone?

That little girl just witnessed herself crawling out of Sig's grave.

Could it be that I've already been exposed just because I changed my identity?

Sig suddenly felt a headache coming on.

It took so much effort to successfully change my appearance; it would be so frustrating if I were exposed so quickly...

Sieg recalled the spot where the little girl had been standing. It was actually quite a distance from the grave, and given the dim light, it was highly unlikely that the words on the tombstone could be seen clearly.

But... what if?

"No, we must find this little girl."

Having made up his mind, Sieg walked out of the cemetery, checking his cards as he went.

Current character card compatibility

KING87%

Li Jing 58%

Usopp 76%

Nobita 31%

Yuta 38%

Gian 1%

KING's character card has the highest compatibility, approaching 90%.

Cards with a compatibility of 80% or higher can perfectly simulate the original character through the skin function, without any flaws in appearance, voice, etc.

Siguru can only change a few faces at the moment, plus the 244 ordinary people brought by the King Luffy card.

"So, whose face should I use now?"

Sieg fell into deep thought.

The cards featuring Wang Luffy are mostly generic characters, so they can be ruled out first.

Nobita, Gian, and Usopp aren't good-looking enough.

Li Jing is too old for a middle-aged man, while Yuta... well, he's a male protagonist in a romance anime, but this card seems to be a middle school version of Yuta, too young.

"Let's continue using King's face for now, it's not bad. In this pirate world, even without the Emperor Engine, a face like this can save us a lot of trouble."

So, in the end, Sieg left the cemetery with KING's face unchanged.

However, as he walked, he gradually relaxed.

Having shed the burden of being known as the Mountain Bandit King, and now with the opportunity to become stronger through Fat Tiger Card, Sigurd felt a rare sense of relief.

........

The island where Sig is located is called Char Island. It is located in the first half of the Grand Line, in a relatively remote location, roughly on the other side of the Devil's Triangle.

After briefly inquiring about these matters from passersby in town, I looked up and saw a newsbird land at the dock.

"Today's news is about the Sabaody Archipelago battle that took place three days ago... The participating parties included two Yonko pirate crews and a Marine Admiral. Tsk tsk, that's quite something."

Hearing the comments from passersby, Sieg had an idea and immediately walked towards the news bird.
