I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

“I’d like a copy of the World Economic Journal,” Sieg said.

However, when he got to the big bird, Sieg patted his empty pockets, feeling a little embarrassed.

A newspaper is cheap, only a hundred Berries, but Sieg has just crawled out of his grave and is truly penniless.

After staring at the news bird for a while, Sieg suddenly remembered something.

The Fat Tiger Card I just received seems to have the ability to "borrow and never return".

Looking at the newsbird in front of him, Sieg spoke:

"Um... could you lend me a copy of today's World Economic News?"

"I promise, I'll return it to you after you've finished reading it, so you won't lose anything."

Chapter 332 Reunion with Fujitora

Many animals in the world of One Piece can roughly understand human speech.

After hearing this, Newsbird tilted its head and looked at Sieg with some confusion.

"Tsk tsk... This guy actually borrowed a newspaper from a newsbird? Newsbirds aren't animals you can bargain with."

"The key thing is the newspaper. If you want to borrow a newspaper, isn't that just freeloading?"

"This person has a thick skin; he dares to say he suffered no loss whatsoever."

Sieg coughed lightly, glanced back at the few onlookers who were gossiping, and immediately quieted them down.

It has to be said that King's face truly exudes an aura of strength.

Sig was also sighing inwardly.

During his time as the bandit king, he silently endured the misunderstandings of others.

Surprisingly, even after getting a new face, some people still misunderstand him.

"What I lack isn't those 100 Berries, is it? I'm getting familiar with Gian's abilities, impersonating Gian, all to improve card synergy!"

"As long as the compatibility increases, I can become stronger."

"So, borrowing the newspaper is just a pretext; I'm actually cultivating myself to become stronger."

He sighed softly, his tone tinged with bitterness.

"I also have my reasons."

Sieg sighed softly, his eyes revealing a hint of melancholy and a sense of being misunderstood.

He felt a sense of anticipation and excitement.

Borrowing a newspaper is something that the bandit king, Sig, is too proud to do due to his overwhelming aura of power.

It's only because he has King's face that Sig is able to let himself go...

If things go wrong, I can always just get a new face.

Sig’s performance seemed to have impressed the newsbird, which carried a newspaper in its beak, ready to give it to Sig.

Just then, an arm reached out from the side, holding one hundred Berries.

“I know all too well how a penny can break a hero’s back. Since you have your reasons, I’ll pay for the newspaper. In return, could you read the news from the newspaper to me?”

A gentle, middle-aged voice rang out.

Sieg panicked as soon as he heard that.

If someone gives him money to buy a newspaper, then his previous act of "borrowing a newspaper" is invalid, right?

Someone is trying to stop me from increasing my compatibility!

Sieg was a little angry, but when he turned around, his heart sank.

In front of him, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and blind eyes, holding a cane, smiled gently.

Fujitora laughed!

Sig had a brief encounter with him in Alabasta before.

"I've been recognized?"

The thought immediately popped into Sieg's mind, and he looked at Fujitora with suspicion and uncertainty.

Seemingly because Sieg had been silent for too long, Fujitora asked with a gentle smile, "What? Has this young man seen me before?"

Sieg then felt relieved and decisively refused:

"No...I don't need you to pay for me!"

"I have always lived an upright and honest life, independent and self-reliant, and have never needed anyone's help. I'm definitely borrowing this newspaper!"

Seeing Sieg's righteous and awe-inspiring expression, the passersby almost burst out laughing:

"This open and honest man actually insists on doing newspaper work with Newsbird..."

"So brazen about getting something for free, huh...?"

Fujitora was also taken aback and awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Just as he was about to leave, Sieg casually added:

"Okay, I've borrowed all the newspapers now. I can read the news from them to you. You can also give the hundred Berries to Newsbird."

Fujitora paused for a moment: "Is this any different from before?"

"Of course there's a difference. You're donating one hundred Berries to Newsbird, which has nothing to do with my borrowing things."

Sig said seriously, and opened the card panel, happily seeing that the compatibility of the Fat Tiger card had increased by 1%. His strength seemed to expand slightly as well.

Fujitora chuckled, "What an interesting fellow."

He stood still, listening as Sieg began to read the newspaper.

The Sabaody Archipelago battle was described in newspapers as Admiral Sengoku killing the billion-bounty pirate Higuma right under the noses of two Yonko.

In addition, the Black Flame Dragon and information about the Another Piece treasure map were briefly mentioned.

The newspapers focused on the activities of the Four Emperors and the treasure map, while little was mentioned about Sigurd's own death.

After reading the newspaper, Sieg felt a sense of emptiness; it wasn't what he had imagined. He couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"That's just how the navy is; they rush to cover up facts that are unfavorable to them."

"Think of the legendary pirate king, Higuma, a man of unparalleled righteousness and invincible prowess. He single-handedly fought against the Four Emperors and Admirals in the Sabaody Archipelago! Yet, in the newspapers, he's portrayed like this..."

"Oh? This young man seems to know quite a bit about the Sabaody Archipelago Wars?"

Sig looked up and saw Fujitora looking at him with a half-smile.

"Could my identity really be exposed?" Sig couldn't help but wonder.

But Fujitora smiled, looking quite moved:

"I always felt a special connection with this young man, and I was right. After Sig's death, few in this world still hold that sea bandit king in high regard..."

Fujitora's expression became quite moved as he spoke:

"It's a pity that I didn't get to see Sieg again."

"It is a great regret that I never got to witness Sig's sword of mercy and sword of justice in this lifetime."

Fujitora sighed, deeply moved.

Sig was a little confused. After changing his face, he became much more shameless and started bragging about himself.

What's going on with Fujitora? The Sword of Justice and the Sword of Mercy?

Sig couldn't help but say, "Brother, you're absolutely right. I thought I was the only one who understood the unparalleled benevolence and righteousness of the Sea Mountain Pirate King..."

"To be honest, I'm actually a fan of Sig's looks..."

Sig and Fujitora chatted by the roadside and found themselves hitting it off immediately, getting along very well.

However, a moment later, Sieg's stomach rumbled, interrupting the conversation.

Fujitora smiled slightly: "I'm a little hungry. How about we go to the tavern and chat some more?"

Sieg's eyes lit up: "Alright, but let me make this clear first, this meal is on me!"

After saying that, Sieg laughed heartily and patted his empty pockets:

"But I don't have any money on hand right now. Can you lend me some? I'll definitely pay you back next time."

Fujitora was speechless for a moment. This was a case of borrowing money to treat someone to a meal, and the person who invited the creditor was the creditor himself. This operation left him a little confused, but he just smiled and nodded.

Soon, the two entered the tavern, ate and drank, and continued chatting.

The tavern was quite noisy. Sig and his companion were talking about their own things, but their attention was gradually drawn to the chatter of others.

"Major news! I've heard that the second part of the One Piece, the Great Treasure of Another Piece, has been unearthed on the Red Line!"

Chapter 333 Another Piece: The Second Treasure

Deep within the red earth continent, a treasure-hunting team is diligently digging deep into the mountains.

After a long time, a large treasure chest was discovered in the deep pit and was finally presented to the leading man.

"Treasure! We've finally found treasure!"

"I hope that what's inside will be worth the 800 million I spent on this treasure map on Wanwu Island."

Gilder Tezzolo, the leader of this treasure-hunting team, muttered to himself.

He was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons, and after being rescued by the fishman hero Fisher Tiger, he did two things.

First, he set fire to Doflamingo's "Gold-Gold Fruit" auction and won the Gold-Gold Fruit.

Secondly, they used various means to seize the treasure map after a wealthy businessman purchased the second part of Anotherpiece's treasure map for a huge sum of 800 million.

Success or failure now rests on his shoulders.

Tesoro opened the treasure chest, and his pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
