I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Once we get back to headquarters, we'll investigate this Higuma thoroughly, as well as the boy named Ain who's with him."

"Also... I remember someone once compiled a top ten list of Devil Fruits. Can you find me that issue of the newspaper?"

"If their backgrounds are legitimate, we could consider recruiting them into the navy."

Zefa gave the instructions in a low voice.

The flying squirrel listened, but hesitated a little:

"Admiral Zephyr, do you mean to recruit that little girl into the Navy, or... that strange bounty hunter?"

Zefa's eyes shone brightly:

"Flying Squirrel, imagine if that song of subduing the enemy without fighting could be promoted in our navy, it would surely bring more peace to the world!"

Vice Admiral Momonga stood there, imagining the scene of thousands of naval personnel playing "Lost River" together in the future, and suddenly felt his brain trembling.

Chapter 354 Hawkeye Appears Again

Sabaody Archipelago, Island 13.

"Then, from today onwards, this house, worth forty million Berries, belongs to you, Mr. Higuma."

A man in a suit smiled and stood in front of a house, placing the house key in Sieg's hand.

Sieg nodded, unlocked the door with the key, and led Ain inside.

This house cost Seagrim a full 40 million Berries. It occupies more than 500 square meters, has three floors, and comes with its own courtyard. For Seagrim alone, it can be said to be quite spacious.

Indeed, the first thing Sig did upon arriving in the Sabaody Archipelago was to buy a house there.

The makeover plan has been a great success, and Sieg's next step is to settle in the Sabaody Archipelago and live a peaceful but monotonous life there.

As for why the Sabaody Archipelago was chosen...

Firstly, this is one of the few bustling commercial hub islands in the Grand Line, with shopping streets and Sabaody Archipelago...

Secondly, there is a reclusive old man named Rayleigh here.

If anything happens, Sig can shout "Rayleigh, save me!" to reveal his identity and get Rayleigh's help, just like last time.

"It's practically perfect. I can finally settle into a boring life."

With a faint smile on his face, Sieg walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Hmm...this house is big enough that if necessary, the entire bandit group of over two hundred people can be temporarily housed here..."

The thought had barely crossed Sieg's mind when he suddenly chuckled.

He is no longer the bandit king, but his mindset remains, and he sometimes still considers things from the perspective of his former identity as the bandit king.

"The house is big enough, but it's a bit of a hassle to clean."

"Bald guy, it's all yours now."

Sieg gave a habitual instruction, then turned around, only to see Ain staring at him blankly.

"Uncle Sunbear, you don't mean you want me to shave my head, do you?" Ain covered her head, slightly frightened.

Sig chuckled to himself, but also felt a pang of sadness.

"Yes...the bald guy is gone..."

"No, it's me who's gone."

"Speaking of which, the reason I bought such a big house is because of my past experiences. I wanted to buy a big house that could accommodate the entire bandit group?"

Sieg fell into deep thought upon this.

If he were content to be a shut-in and a wealthy man, he wouldn't need such a large house.

After all, Sieg is now just one person, with at most one more, Ian.

The house was too desolate and too spacious for him.

In a daze, a thought suddenly came to Sieg's mind.

Should I really abandon my identity as the Mountain Bandit King?

The thought had barely surfaced when he immediately extinguished it.

"I guess I should go out and have some fun, relax, and get used to my new identity."

Sieg made this decision.

He has quite a bit of money in his hands now.

When he met with the former members of the bandit gang, Sig also took away about half of the bandit gang's funds.

With the previous bounty of 50 million, and after deducting the expenses for buying a house and other miscellaneous items, Seagrim now has nearly 300 million Berries on hand, which is quite generous.

After closing the door to the empty house, Sieg led Ain, who was slightly dazed, for a walk outside.

A moment later.

Sig led Ain to a battlefield filled with scorched earth.

Did I subconsciously wander into this place? Is this considered a return to familiar territory?

This area in front of us is the site of the battle in the Sabaody Archipelago a week ago.

That great battle involved the Four Emperors and their generals, and its impact was far-reaching.

Especially at the end of the great battle, after Sieg had his men start a short live broadcast to announce Sieg's death and the news of the third treasure map in the Sabaody Archipelago, the battlefield almost became a popular tourist attraction.

During this period, anyone who even remotely coveted the treasure map would come here to take a look.

"This is where that man fought..."

"A man worth a billion died in a place like this."

"It looks quite ordinary. I thought there might be clues to the treasure here."

"I heard that he once fought against the Four Emperors and the Admirals. Even though he died in battle, he can be considered one of the strongest warriors on the sea."

"What kind of strongman is he? A loser is a loser. I think this pirate king of the sea is a worthless piece of trash. He had such a great reputation back then, but when he encountered real strongmen like the Four Emperors and the Admirals, he died immediately."

"It's a pity he died too soon, he didn't live long enough for me to personally behead him, otherwise I would have become famous too!"

Around this scorched battlefield, passersby chatted and boasted.

With Sig dead, the bandit gang quickly fell apart in the eyes of the world, and the title of the King of the Mountain Bandits lost its former intimidating power.

Even these small-time pirates passing by dare to casually make jokes and boast.

Sieg heard these discussions from afar, but instead of being angry, he felt a faint sense of joy.

"If this continues, my fame from my lifetime will soon fade away."

"This is really... wonderful!"

"Ideally, the whole world, including the navy, would forget the name of Sieg, so that I would be completely safe."

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Sieg's face.

Once the name of Sieg fades from the world, he will find true peace...

But just then, he heard a cold snort.

"Get lost! Even if Sieg is dead, it's none of your business to slander him."

A cold voice suddenly rang out. Although it wasn't loud, it sounded like a thunderclap, making everyone around, including Sieg, feel as if they had thorns in their backs.

Looking back.

A pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes were staring coldly at them.

"It's Hawkeye Mihawk! The world's greatest swordsman!"

"How did he end up in a place like this?"

"Wait, I heard that Hawkeye had a duel with Sieg in the weakest part of the East Blue, and the outcome was uncertain?"

Countless eyes were fixed on Hawkeye Mihawk, who had suddenly appeared there, and some couldn't understand why he was there.

"Hawkeye, isn't Sig your enemy? We were just talking about Sig, you're really meddling!"

Several pirates remained defiant, stubbornly refusing to back down despite their fear.

"I already said..."

Hawkeye's golden eyes sharpened even more, and his aura gradually surged.

"You nobodies have the right to slander Sig."

Chapter 355 Hawkeye: Do you know how strong Sieg is?

At the harbor, a sailboat gradually approaches.

A group of people wrapped in cloaks stood on the bow deck, looking at the scorched battlefield on the shore.

"Robin, we've arrived."

"This is the battlefield of Sieg's last battle before his death."

The revolutionary leader, Dragon, stood beside Robin, patted her on the shoulder, and spoke in a low voice.

"Although Sieg is no longer here, his thoughts and beliefs remain."

"We must carry on his legacy and spread the flame of revolution throughout the world; a single spark can start a prairie fire..."

Behind the dragon, the other revolutionary soldiers, cloaked in capes, listened with tears welling up in their eyes, deeply moved.

Robin, however, was somewhat dazed. She recalled the words Sig had said when he rescued her from the storm.

'Come be my daughter.'

At this moment, Long Qing let out a soft exclamation. He leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, his gaze falling on Eagle Eye, who was standing amidst the battlefield ruins on the shore.

"Hawkeye Mihawk?"

now.

Hawkeye's sharp, hawk-like eyes grew even more piercing, and his aura became even more terrifying.
