I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Zefa chuckled, but inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

Since the Higuma in front of him wasn't a Devil Fruit user, then he definitely wasn't Sigurd.

So... the man standing before me, Higuma, really is the same naval warrant officer with a tragic past mentioned in the records.

"It seems that the Warring States and their allies were overthinking things this time."

Zefa thought to himself.

"I see, it was a misunderstanding..." Sig said, feigning nonchalance and nodding slightly.

But his heart was pounding wildly, and the Emperor Engine was instantly activated!

If it weren't for the soundproof wall that isolated his heart, Sieg would probably have been exposed instantly.

"It's all over, it ......."

"General Zephyr has come to our door not for Ain, but for me, Sieg!"

Sigurd wouldn't easily believe the claim that someone possessed the Imitation Fruit...

In the original work, the user of the Imitation Fruit is Bon Clay, a transvestite who can transform into anyone he touches with his right hand.

In this era, the user of the Imitation Fruit might indeed be someone else.

But the criminals who could command the personal attention of General Zephyr were definitely not nobodys!

Sig had never heard of a user of the Imitation Fruit on this ocean.

"Is it most likely that my identity has been exposed? But why?"

Sig was filled with fear and trepidation, his heart pounding wildly. He was already in "Emperor Engine" mode, with countless thoughts swirling in his mind.

However, he remained calm on the surface.

"General Zefa, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, may we remove the handcuffs?"

"of course can."

Zefa smiled apologetically.

He took out the key and was about to unlock the sea stone handcuffs on Sieg's hands.

At that moment, a sharp shout suddenly came from outside the door:

"Zeffa, stop!"

Sieg was once again deeply shaken!

He recognized the voice.

Looking around, he saw that Admiral Sengoku had appeared in the courtyard at some point, looking at him with a serious expression.

"Zeffa is still too soft-hearted...and easily deceived."

Zhan Guo sighed inwardly, but his expression remained cold and stern as he strode over.

"Stop pretending, Sig! Your identity has already been exposed."

Sengoku pointed at Sig, his gaze sharp and fixed on Sig's face as he observed the most subtle changes in Sig's expression.

If Sieg acts strangely, he will take drastic action.

But when his gaze fell on the sea stone handcuffs on Sieg's wrist, even Sengoku couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

The sea stone handcuffs that Zephyr carried were intended to be used against Sieg, and their purity was, of course, the highest.

Let alone Sigourney, even Whitebeard, if he were hastily handcuffed, would experience some degree of exhaustion.

But Sieg didn't react at all, only showing surprise.

This makes things even more confusing.

Sengoku entered with a sharp shout, addressing him directly as Sig.

After the initial shock subsided, a sense of familiarity welled up in Sieg's heart.

"Isn't this the same bluffing tactic I always use?"

Sieg, on the contrary, made up his mind.

If Sengoku is truly certain that he is Sig, even if he is already handcuffed, he probably won't waste any more words and will take him down immediately.

But the current reaction in the Warring States period is all talk and no action...

This means that Sengoku probably doesn't have any real evidence either, and he's worried about wrongly arresting or dealing with such a tragic former naval warrant officer, so he hasn't taken action yet.

A thought struck Sieg, and a thousand ideas surged within him, a plan forming in his mind.

Chapter 362 The Mountain Bandit King Sig has fallen!

Now that it has been determined that Sengoku is bluffing, Sieg's response is quite simple.

In short, it's all about acting.

A perfectly timed look of surprise crossed Sieg's face as he frowned and said:

"I know the name of the pirate king of the sea, Sig, but I heard that Sig was personally executed by you, the Sengoku general?"

"Admiral Zephyr, Admiral Sengoku, I am merely a former naval warrant officer... You must have made a mistake?"

Sig looked somewhat innocent.

However, Sengoku's expression did not soften in the slightest.

He pulled a newspaper directly from his pocket and slammed it on the table in front of Sieg.

“Sig, you acted well, but it’s meaningless in the face of irrefutable evidence.”

Warring States said coldly:

"The online news aggregator was jointly run by you, Sig, and the World Economic News Agency."

"And the name Rixiong is also the name of the original writer of the Tieba newsletter!"

"Since you insist that you are a warrant officer in the naval branch, what explanation do you have for that?"

At this point, Sengoku glanced at Ain, who was standing next to Sig.

"The world's tenth-ranked user of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit, and you, the author of this tabloid, are just hanging around together. Do you dare say this is fake?"

Upon hearing these words, Sieg's heart pounded again, and he suddenly realized the truth.

So... this is where I messed up?

Sig felt like crying but had no tears. He just thought the name "Sun Bear" was very cool, powerful and majestic. Since it was a pseudonym anyway, he really wanted to use it.

Because he hadn't written a Baidu Tieba newsletter in so long, Sieg had completely forgotten about the pen name for it.

Who knew that a mistake would occur unintentionally.

While inwardly groaning, Sieg frowned on the surface:

"So the online forum's tabloid was founded by that pirate king, Sig?"

"General of the Warring States Period, I really don't know much about this matter either."

"But in the end, the name 'Hi-Kuma' in the newspaper is just an ordinary pen name that anyone can use."

"The writer you're looking for, using the pen name 'Sun Bear,' has nothing to do with me, an ordinary bounty hunter named Sun Bear, right?"

At this point, a slight wry smile appeared on Sieg's face:

"Speaking of which, a great general from the Warring States period..."

"If I really were that Sig, why would I be so foolish as to use the name Sun Bear to walk into a trap?"

Sengoku paused slightly and exchanged a glance with Zefa.

In fact, he didn't quite understand this point either.

In the Warring States period, Sieg was perceived as a cunning and far-sighted man, a very difficult person to deal with.

If the Sunbear in front of him is really Siegfried, why would he give the name "Sunbear," a name that would definitely attract the attention of the World Government, when he came into contact with Zephyr, making such a stupid mistake?

Logically, it doesn't make sense.

Seeing this, Sigurd felt there was a chance and continued:

"Actually, the name Higuma is quite common. I guess that bandit Sig just happened to have the same name as me."

The Warring States period was silent.

But he still harbored doubts and would not easily give up questioning Sieg.

He then took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket and placed them on the table in front of him.

“Since you still insist you’re not Sig, then prove it to me. Write down everything in this newspaper by hand,” Sengoku said.

Upon hearing this, Sieg felt relieved, as he roughly understood Sengoku's line of thinking.

This is to determine from the handwriting whether it is Sieg himself.

So, following Zhan Guo's advice, Xige meticulously hand-copied the report from the online forum's tabloid.

Just as Sieg had predicted, Sengoku then took out a manuscript and carefully compared the handwriting on the two sheets of paper.

Sieg glanced at the manuscript and thought to himself:

"This seems to be the manuscript I gave to the Shock Department back then... Did Morgans give it to the Navy?"

"That's right. In Morgans' eyes, I'm already dead. He naturally wouldn't mess with the Navy over a dead man."

Then, Sieg saw that Sengoku's expression turned ugly after comparing the manuscripts.

The handwriting on the two manuscripts is completely different; they are not the same thing at all.

Sieg was well aware of this.

The skin features provided by the system are flawless when the compatibility reaches 80%, which is one of the reasons why Sieg chose the KING skin.

Not only in appearance, but also in voice, breath, walking posture, handwriting... in every aspect, Sieg seems to have transformed into the real KING.

"Is the Sengoku general going to say that I, Higuma, am skilled at imitating handwriting and have mastered many different handwriting styles?"

Sig spoke first, silencing Sengoku.
