I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The Reverse Fruit's effect wasn't due to Ain touching the enemy, but rather the effect of the purple flames touching it.

"Aion, try to control this flame and preserve it..."

Sieg had an idea.

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

Island of All Things.

Stussy had just finished processing several fake identity documents that Sieg had entrusted to him.

Among these, the most important piece of fake character information is the fake information about "current bounty hunter Sun Bear".

But upon reflection, I had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

"Higuma? That name sounds familiar."

Beside her, Annie, the person in charge of the Island of Everything, asked in confusion.

Anne is Stussy's confidante. She has nothing to do with the World Government or CP0. She is a force that Stussy secretly supported when she was the "Queen of Pleasure Street." She is a force that truly belongs entirely to Stussy.

After thinking it over carefully, Annie's expression changed slightly.

"Isn't that the pseudonym that Sig uses when he posts news on the Baidu Tieba tabloids?"

"What's going on? Has that person completely forgotten about this? The name Higuma being linked to online gossip will definitely attract the attention of the World Government or the Navy!"

"This is a huge blunder!"

Annie's expression was grave.

However, Stuart remained calm and leisurely sipped his coffee.

"You underestimate that man."

"He is meticulous in his thinking, and from the East China Sea to this Grand Line, he frequently weaves elaborate schemes to deceive the world. Each conspiracy is earth-shattering, making the world dance with excitement..."

As he said this, Stusi's eyes also sparkled.

As a veteran CP0 member, her greatest skill is intrigue and scheming.

But in this aspect, she was completely outmatched by Sieg.

She had personally witnessed countless times Sieg's resourcefulness and intricate schemes.

"How could someone like that make such a foolish mistake?"

Stussy chuckled to himself:

"Annie, you still have a lot to learn..."

"What you see is not the truth, but the truth that man wants you to see."

"He's acting under the guise of Higuma; he must have some ulterior motive..."

"We just need to stand by and watch, and wait for the day when he turns the world upside down and officially returns in the name of Sig. That will be enough."

Stussy took a sip of coffee, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and murmured to himself:

"Don't keep me waiting too long."

..........

Beneath the red earth continent lies Fishman Island, 10,000 meters below the surface of the ocean.

A large-scale celebration is being held at a restaurant on Fishman Street.

"Brother Long, you're finally back safe and sound!"

Hody Jones, the shark fishman, had his eyes shining as they landed on Aaron, another shark fishman in the center of the banquet.

Chapter 358 Sigrid Bear?

After the death of the fishman hero Fisher Tiger, the Sun Pirates split up, and Jinbe inherited the Sun Pirates, subsequently accepting the invitation from the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Meanwhile, the hardliner Arlong started afresh, forming the Arlong Pirates and heading to the East Blue.

Although Jinbe and Arlong differ in strength, they are two flag bearers of the Fish-Man people and are revered and worshipped by many residents of Fish-Man Island.

But in this Fishman Town, the hardliner Arlong is even more popular than Jinbe.

Hody Jones, also a shark fishman, idolized Aaron and hoped to one day become his right-hand man.

Therefore, Ah Long received a very warm welcome upon his return.

"Jones, you look like you've gotten stronger too..."

Ah Long laughed heartily, his eyes filled with warmth as he looked at the familiar figures at the banquet.

"Hachi, Chloe... you've both safely returned to Fishman Island..."

Arlong's pirate crew had just arrived in the East Blue when they encountered Garp. Captain Arlong personally covered their retreat and was captured, while the other crew members jumped into the sea to escape...

The remaining pirate crew, leaderless, returned to Fishman Island, only to unexpectedly reunite today.

With old friends reunited, the atmosphere at the banquet became even more lively, with constant chatter.

Hody Jones downed his drink, grinned, and walked up to Aaron.

“Brother A-Long, while you were away, many people on Fishman Island spread rumors about you.”

“They say you joined a human bandit gang… What a joke! But I’ve already taught those who spread these rumors a lesson!” Hody Jones grinned, revealing a sharp, serrated smile.

Ah Long fell silent for a moment after hearing this, and his initial excitement gradually subsided.

"Let's talk about something else that's fun..."

Ah Long abruptly changed the subject, chatting animatedly with Octopus Hachi and the others.

Only Hody Jones, holding his wine glass in one hand, gradually lost his smile, a sudden chill settling in his heart.

Why doesn't Brother Long deny it?

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

Naval Headquarters Hospital.

Lieutenant General Momonga, carrying a stack of documents and several newspapers, entered a hospital room.

"Professor Zephyr, how is your recovery going?"

"Not bad, thanks to that awful song by Higuma... I feel great now."

Zefa stretched his limbs, looking refreshed, and replied with a smile, but his gaze was fixed on the stack of documents in the flying squirrel's hand.

"Is it information about Sun Bear? Let me take a good look."

Zefa sat directly on the hospital bed and began reading the intelligence documents.

Japanese bear.

A former warrant officer of the G-71 branch of the Grand Line Navy.

Several years ago, the G-71 branch was attacked by a pirate crew. The branch was completely destroyed, and all the branch's garrison was wiped out, including the families of the naval personnel. The entire branch was almost completely wiped out.

Higuma was the last survivor of G-71.

Sadly, Higuma's family, including his wife and daughters, also perished in that incident.

This experience, naturally fabricated by Stussy, is supported by detailed evidence and materials, and has no flaws.

Zefa pondered for a moment, then continued flipping through the second document.

The second document comes from records kept by the Char Island branch some time ago.

Higuma, who claims to be a bounty hunter, drove dozens of human traffickers into the Navy branch... and the gunshot wounds on all of them were strange, clearly hitting vital organs, yet no one died.

After reading these two documents, the image of a man with a story is vividly presented.

"All his comrades died in battle, his wife and daughters perished tragically, only Higuma survived..."

"So, disheartened, he quit the Navy and instead wandered the Grand Line as a bounty hunter..."

Zefa sighed softly.

This experience reminded him of himself.

He has always adhered to the principle of "not killing" and has never killed even a single pirate.

But 20 years ago, he suffered a terrible revenge from pirates, and his entire family, including his 3-year-old son, was killed by them.

If it weren't for Sora and others trying to persuade him to stay, Zephyr would have resigned from his position as Admiral and left the Navy 20 years ago.

Therefore, he deeply empathized with Sieg's experience.

"Professor Zephyr, let's finish reviewing all the materials before drawing a conclusion."

The flying squirrel then handed over several newspapers.

It was that online forum tabloid that published the Devil Fruit rankings! And the byline on the newspaper was none other than Higuma!

"We have found out that the tabloid on Baidu Tieba is behind Sieg and Morgans."

"The pen name 'Higuma' in the newspaper is very likely a writing editor under Sieg, or even Sieg himself!"

"There's one more thing..." Lieutenant General Momonga added another bombshell:

“We noted that after arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, Higuma visited the battlefield site on Island 13.”

"Hawkeye Mihawk was also there, and he made it clear that Sun Bear has the looks of Siegfried!"

After hearing what the flying squirrel said, Zephyr realized the seriousness of the situation.

Sieg is dead!

But this Sun Bear is very likely related to Sig!

Zephyr took a deep breath, put aside his previous pity for Higuma's experience, got up from the hospital bed, and quickly draped the cloak of justice over his shoulders.

"Let's go! To the Marshal's office."

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

Half an hour later, when Zefa arrived at the marshal's office, he found that a small meeting had already begun.

Marshal Kong, Iron Fist Garp, Admiral Sengoku, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Tsuru...
