I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"The navy officer in charge of the exchange asked, while also flipping through the bounty list," he said.

Sig's current appearance is indeed quite fierce, the kind that could scare children to tears. You could easily mistake him for a vicious pirate.

If a notorious pirate were to come to the naval base to claim a reward, it would be a scandal for the Navy.

The government issues bounties not to fund pirates.

"I am Sun Bear, the bounty hunter."

Sieg made up a name on the spot without saying anything more.

"A newbie? A pirate who spends 50 million on his first attempt, that's quite remarkable." The Marines nodded.

Sieg didn't linger. After completing the formalities and receiving the fifty million, he left immediately.

However, when the navy examined the criminals' injuries, they were all taken aback.

"What a strange injury."

The local branch colonel's eyes gleamed with curiosity as he examined the injuries on these burly men.

These people were all shot, and all of them were hit in vital areas, such as the forehead, temple, and heart. This indicates that the bounty hunter was a rare sharpshooter.

If they were just sharpshooters, that would be one thing; in the Grand Line, where powerful individuals abound, they are not uncommon.

But strangely... none of these people died; even those shot in vital areas survived.

"Did he deliberately use non-lethal rubber bullets? That doesn't seem likely..."

"That's really strange... Does he know how to hold back his bullets?" the naval captain couldn't help but mutter to himself.

They considered this a remarkable event and recorded it.

...........

After leaving the naval base, Sieg felt much more relaxed.

Fujitora did not discover his true identity, nor did the Navy.

This means that the makeover was indeed very successful.

With 50 million Berries in hand, Sig immediately went to the local town market and bought a Den Den Mushi.

He returned to the hotel, pondered quietly for a while, and finally made a decision.

This battle made Sieg discover many problems.

For example, the Emperor Engine!

The Emperor Engine is essentially a heartbeat; if Sieg gets excited, he might expose his identity...

Moreover, the bandit king's death was somewhat sudden, and there are still some potential hidden dangers within the bandit group.

And there's one more crucial question.

money.

What Sieg wanted was not a peaceful but impoverished life.

One of Sig's initial goals in selling fake treasure maps and amassing wealth was to save up some money for himself. However, due to the sudden turn of events, the money was all in the hands of the bandits.

Sieg closed the doors and windows, sat down in a chair, and the mirror was facing him.

The image of KING in the mirror changed, and he reverted to the original image of the bandit king, Sig.

Sieg narrowed his eyes, recalling the words he had vaguely heard during his feigned death.

He made up his mind and dialed a number.

This number belongs to Sig himself... or rather, to the original bandit king, Sig!

The call was connected.

"it's me."

Sieg whispered.

As he spoke, he looked at Sig in the mirror and, in a daze, felt as if he had returned to his former days as the bandit king.

There was a long, long silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, a voice, clearly trying to suppress excitement, rang out:

"Boss Sig, you really didn't die!"

"I've been waiting for this Den Den Mushi to ring..."

Chapter 340 Go and become stronger! Try to surpass me!

A few days later.

At the dock in the town of Char Island, Sig and Ian were lazily sunbathing on a bench.

"How leisurely..."

Sieg smiled and said something.

The identity of the bandit king is too exciting. Only after changing his face can he have a period of peace.

However, this does not mean that Sieg has to completely sever ties with his past.

"Ain, aren't you going to play with the other kids?" Sig asked casually, patting Ain's head.

"Uncle, are you about to leave? I'd like to stay with you a little longer." Ain nodded obediently.

Sig paused for a moment.

"No, I'm afraid you can't stay on this island any longer. Your Devil Fruit ability has been exposed, and it's not safe for you to stay here."

Sig paused at this point.

“I can send you to the Sabaody Archipelago, which is close to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters. Joining the Navy would be a good choice for you.”

Sig had planned to go to the Sabaody Archipelago anyway, so he decided to take Ain with him and let Ain return to her original life trajectory ahead of schedule.

"The Navy..."

Ain muttered to himself, lost in thought.

At this moment, Sig's eyes lit up. He saw a ship sailing in the distance on the sea. The ship did not fly a pirate flag and was inconspicuous, but there was a coded mark on the hull, which was undoubtedly a member of a mountain bandit group.

Sig stood up, told Ain to stay where he was, put on his hood, and walked toward the ship that was about to dock.

After he boarded the wooden boat, Sig's appearance had changed back to the original Sig.

"Boss Sig!"

"Boss!"

"Is it really you?" Stussy's eyes flickered, his deep blue eyes as unfathomable as the sea.

Viben jogged over, looking at Sieg with teary eyes, speechless.

Crocdale was still puffing on her cigar, her gaze sweeping over Sieg from head to toe. She frowned and asked:

"How did you come back to life?"

“You were already dead back in Sabaody Archipelago.”

"Could it be... you're faking your death?"

Crocdale's words attracted everyone's attention and also gave Sieg a jolt.

Upon meeting, Crocdale went straight to the point... but Sig had already prepared a response for this.

"Playing dead?"

Sieg snorted coldly, looking directly into Crocodile's eyes:

"I, Sig, have lived a life of unparalleled glory, and I am second to none. Neither the Four Emperors nor the Admirals can defeat me. You think I need to play dead? What a joke!"

Sieg's lips gradually curled up, and then he burst into laughter:

"Hehehe... I, Sig, have already attained the realm of indestructibility. Even if I die a thousand times, I can be reborn from the brink of death!"

These words were spoken, and the bald man and the others nodded inwardly, dispelling their suspicion that Sieg was an imposter.

The man before him, Sig, certainly had the air of the former pirate king of the seas.

As for the real reason why Sieg came back from the dead?

He stood before them completely intact; the facts speak louder than words.

Moreover, the bandits had already seen another person who had come back to life.

Brook, the user of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), is a living, breathing resurrected person.

There are no two Devil Fruits in the world that are the same; there is only one Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit).

However, it is possible that Devil Fruits with similar abilities could exist.

However, that's not the point.

"Now, tell me about what happened in the bandit group after I died."

Sig's gaze fell on the bald man.

The bald man understood and immediately began to explain.

Within just three or four days of Sig’s death, the bandit group was on the verge of falling apart.

Johnny and Joseph, the two bounty hunters, have no bounties on their hands. They decide to go back to their old ways, the path of bounty hunters, only this time on the Grand Line.

Laboon the whale, Brook, and Crocus embark on their journey back to Twin Capes.

Arlong the fishman then left and returned to Fishman Island.

As for Crocdale and Stussy, the bald man didn't say it outright in front of them, but Sieg could guess the gist of it.

Fortunately, it was still early; only three or four days remained until Sig's death. If it had been any longer, the bandit group would probably have been wiped out.

Stussy's allegiance to Sieg doesn't mean she'll clean up the mess he left behind after his death.

As for Crocodile...

"Crocodile, I need to talk to you."
