I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Such a person, commenting on that seemingly dangerous man, has the bearing of Sieg?

"Who is that guy?"

"It certainly looks dangerous. Has another powerful figure emerged from the sea?"

"This person has the bearing of Sieg? He's bound to be another troublesome individual..."

Sieg's face almost turned green when he heard that.

"Am I going to become famous again?"

Perhaps it's not just about becoming famous.

He's someone Hawkeye himself identified as having "the potential of Sieg," so people might even connect him to the deceased Sieg...

Instantly, Sieg sensed danger!

"My new life has just begun..."

Sieg cried out in his heart, and at the same time he heard someone in the crowd waving at him.

Sieg glanced at him subconsciously and felt that the man was unremarkable and unremarkable, but he looked slightly familiar.

This person... seems to be a member of that previous caravan; Sieg had even asked him to deliver a message to the bald merchant.

"Oh, it was him... Wait, why was he waving at me? Are we that close?"

Sieg's expression changed slightly, and then he heard the man excitedly say to the person next to him:

"I recognize him, isn't this Mr. Higuma?"

"I came to Sabaody Archipelago with Mr. Sungull. He's a very skilled bounty hunter. Origami Peppa, with a bounty of nearly 100 million, attacked our fleet, and Mr. Sungull took care of him!"

"So his name is Higuma..."

"He took down Origami Pep, who had a bounty of nearly 100 million? This guy is indeed a strong one."

Upon hearing this voice, many people silently remembered the name.

Bounty hunter Sunkugum, with the potential of Siegfried, is favored by the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk.

"Not going to challenge me?" Hawkeye glanced at Sig's waist, where not only was a longsword strapped to his waist, but also a pistol.

"While his aura is impressive, is he not a pure swordsman?"

Hawkeye's fighting spirit subsided slightly.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, white clouds drift lazily across the blue sky, and amidst the layers of clouds, there seems to be a towering, colossal creature standing tall.

That seems to be... an island floating in the air?

However, when Eagle Eye looked closely, the island silently disappeared into the layers of clouds, leaving no trace.

"interesting."

Hawkeye's interest, which had just subsided, surged again, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"It seems that coming to the Sabaody Archipelago this time was the right decision."

He murmured to himself, and amidst everyone's bewilderment, he quietly walked away.

Meanwhile.

On that island high in the sky, a man was also looking down at the Sabaody Archipelago.

The man had long, almost floor-length golden hair, resembling a lion's mane. His head was shaved, and a ship's wheel protruded from his skull. His legs were severed at the knees, and he used two sharp swords as feet.

"Hehehehe..."

A man resembling a golden lion floated in mid-air above the island, looking down at the Sabaody Archipelago below, and let out a hearty laugh.

"Captain Shiki, have you seen anything interesting?"

Indigo, the ship's doctor for the Flying Pirates, walked over carrying a stack of newspapers.

"It's really very interesting."

Shiki the Golden Lion nodded, his eyes gleaming with admiration.

"I thought that after Roger's death, there was no one left in this world worthy of my attention, but I never expected that so many extraordinary figures would emerge on the high seas..."

"It was worth it to set aside my original plans and bring this island from Calm Sea to the Sabaody Archipelago."

He took a deep drag on his cigar, his expression somewhat excited, and reached out to touch the two famous swords that were tied to his feet.

"Kumaki, Sakura-ju, the two famous swords that accompanied me across the seas... Perhaps one day I will wield you in battle once more."

Shiki laughed loudly.

More than a decade ago, after escaping from Impel Down by cutting off his own legs, he temporarily went into seclusion and, in cycles of ten or twenty years, devised a plan with Indigo and others to destroy the East China Sea.

But a number of interesting rumors that have recently occurred have led him to abandon his original plans and rush to the Sabaody Archipelago.

Chapter 357 The Name of Sun Bear

"The world's number one swordsman, Mihawk? That rookie from back then has grown to this level."

Shiki chuckled, looking at the two famous swords at his feet, and suddenly felt an urge to challenge the great swordsman below.

Back then, he was a great pirate who stood shoulder to shoulder with Roger and Whitebeard, and even once pushed Roger to the brink of defeat.

Unfortunately, he is now disabled in both legs. Although he uses two swords instead of his feet, he can never match his peak performance.

"Boss Shiki, the interesting thing you mentioned, is it Hawkeye Mihawk?" asked Indigo, the ship's doctor, from the side.

But Shiki shook his head.

"Hawkeye is certainly good, but the most surprising one is the swordsmanship he mentioned that might be above his own... Sig."

At this point, Shiki chuckled.

"I've heard that some navy personnel actually believe this guy named Sig is Roger who was resurrected after his death. How ridiculous!"

"Roger wasn't that kind of man..."

Shiki smiled, but a hint of loneliness lingered in the depths of his eyes.

"However, Captain Shiki, Seagull is indeed a very strange person."

The newspaper in the hands of the ship's doctor, Indigo, continued to speak:

"He does indeed have deep connections with Roger's former subordinates; Rayleigh even fought against Big Mom for his sake..."

"And then there's our objective, that so-called Anotherpiece treasure and the Angel Fruit..."

Upon hearing this, Shiki remained silent.

In fact, even Golden Lion, a figure who came from the era of Rocks, was completely baffled by many of the rumors surrounding Sieg.

"I think this Sieg is probably one of those old guys from my generation..."

"This person doesn't seem like a simple person either. I wonder if he's someone I know?"

Shiki squinted, recalling the old days, trying to uncover Sig's true identity.

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

on the ground.

After Hawkeye left as if no one else was there, Sieg quickly grabbed Ain and left the battlefield as fast as he could.

If he stays any longer, he'll probably become the target of everyone's criticism again.

"Does Hawkeye have a grudge against me...?"

"I finally managed to forge a fake identity, is he trying to force me to run away?"

"I have a feeling that I've gotten myself into trouble again."

Sig felt a little uneasy.

Upon returning to the villa on Island 13, he immediately looked at Ain.

Twelve years later, Ain is Zephyr's right-hand woman and the admiral of the NEO Navy. In addition to her formidable strength, she also possesses the rather troublesome Rewind Fruit ability.

But that's a full 12 years...

“Aien…” Sig looked at the little girl in front of him with a serious expression.

"This world is very dangerous."

"You need to work harder, get stronger quickly, and grow up fast. After you join the Navy, don't slack off, and make sure you develop and improve your Rewind-Rewind Fruit abilities," Sigurd earnestly instructed.

"That way, you can protect me in the future."

Sig ruffled Ain's hair.

Ain blinked her big eyes, a little surprised, but then nodded heavily.

"it is good."

Seeing Ain's earnest response, Sieg felt a pang of emotion.

He's a little reluctant to hand this sensible child over to the navy.

“Aien, could you develop your fruit and advance your age by 12 years?”

"That way you'll grow up in a flash, become stronger at the speed of light, and be able to start protecting me right now."

"what?"

"Never mind... Let me take a closer look at your abilities. Let me think if there's anything I can use them for right now."

Sieg sighed:

"After all, this world is too dangerous."

Ain stretched out her hand, and the purple flames burned quietly in her palm once more.

Seeing this, Sieg fell into deep thought.

More than a decade later, one of the Supernovas, Jewelry Bonney, possessed a similar Devil Fruit ability, which allowed her to turn enemies into old people or children with a touch.

Ain's Regression Fruit is somewhat different from these touch-type fruits.
