I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"My true self, let's give up together. Isn't it nice to just wait for Ain to grow up?"

Sig: .....

He was rendered speechless by his own shadow clone's rebuttal.

There's a saying that's absolutely true about shadow clones.

He can deceive many people, but he can never deceive himself.

The shadow clone is actually the same person as Sigurd, and there is no difference in personality between them.

Due to the subordinate relationship between the two parties, the shadow clones, although possessing relatively independent consciousness, will obey most orders.

Unless... it's an order that strongly contradicts Sieg's wishes.

The Shadow Clone Tool Plan was a complete failure!

"Don't be so smug. It's just a shadow clone. Sooner or later I'll make you kneel down and call me daddy... ptooey, I'll make you submit!"

Sig snorted and dispelled the shadow clone, feeling a bit of a headache.

The shadow clones are really uncooperative.

Characters like Luffy and Zoro, who only exist in comics, are admirable for their perseverance and unwavering determination. However, normal humans are prone to laziness, confusion, slacking off, and being lazy.

Many people are like an unrepentant, stupid horse that can only run when whipped.

External pressure is like a whip.

After the makeover, Sieg gradually lost his previous sense of crisis.

"So, how do I deal with my shadow clone and turn it into my tool?"

A thought struck Sieg, and a plan came to mind.

As an ordinary person, Sig has been under too much pressure since his transmigration. He has been persecuted by top experts everywhere and has no time to rest at all.

Now that I've joined the navy, I thought I could finally have a few peaceful days, take a good rest, and relax during the summer vacation after the college entrance exam.

Unexpectedly, Zephyr went even further and devised a plan to exploit his body!

He just wanted to take a summer vacation... Is that too much to ask?

In order to have summer vacation and to make his shadow clones just tools, Sigurd decides to go all out!

..........

After half an hour.

Sieg, carrying a bottle of fine wine, knocked on the door of a dormitory.

The door opened, and Zango's face appeared from inside.

"It's you, Rikuma?"

Zango, like Sig and Smoker, was a trainee in the training camp, and they were classmates in the same year, so they knew each other.

However, Sig's current rank is colonel, while Zango is only a private. Although he was surprised by Sig's visit, Zango still politely opened the door and chatted with Sig in the dormitory.

Since Sieg brought over the fine wine and was already a colonel, Zango had to give him that much face.

After a few drinks, a warm feeling rose in their stomachs, and the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

Seeing that the time was right, Sieg prepared to reveal his intentions.

"Zango, actually, I came here this time to borrow something from you."

“I see… Colonel Higuma, just tell me what you want to borrow,” Zango chuckled.

After the Golden Lion incident, Sig had become a rising star in the training camp, reaching the rank of colonel, and Zango had been quite friendly towards him.

Sig's gaze fell on Zango's chin, where a striped mushroom was growing.

Zango was originally a wandering dancer. One day, he slept on the grass for a long time, and then mushrooms grew on his chin.

Later, because he was so hungry, Zango ate the mushroom on his chin and gained the ability to hypnotize.

And that's exactly what Sieg's goal is.

“I want to borrow your... mushrooms,” Sieg said directly.

He could even borrow the ship's rudder from the Golden Lion's head, although perhaps the Golden Lion wasn't very bright. But borrowing a mushroom from Zango shouldn't be a problem.

However, things didn't go as Sieg imagined.

Zango was completely stunned.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

“I said I wanted to borrow your mushrooms,” Sig repeated.

"You mean...that mushroom?" Zango repeated, somewhat hesitantly.

"Yeah, what's wrong? It's just a mushroom, you're not going to object, are you?" Sig asked, a little puzzled.

Then, he saw Zango's face turn bright red, and his whole body tremble.

He suddenly squeezed his legs together, covered his genitals with his hands, and his old face turned red:

"Sorry, Higuma, you're not my type! I'm a normal man, and I like Lieutenant Colonel Tina!"

Sig:........

This "borrowing mushrooms" thing—could it be that Zangao mistakenly thought it was...?

Sig shivered.

What the hell is a mushroom?! Why has a mushroom become such a vulgar metaphor?!

Chapter 417 Zango's Mushroom

Inside Zango's room.

Sieg rubbed his forehead and explained, "Let me correct you. The mushroom I was talking about is the one growing on your chin."

"Oh, so it's this mushroom..." Zango finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after thinking it over, Zango shook his head.

"Higuma, please allow me to refuse."

"These mushrooms are actually quite unpalatable. I don't know what you want them for, but they're already a part of my body..."

Zango was somewhat embarrassed and clearly did not want to agree.

"Did it fail?"

Sieg pondered for a moment, recalling Zango's words, and then said:

"Well...actually, I have a picture of Tina."

"Deal! Mushrooms in one hand, photos in the other!" Zang Gao quickly changed his mind.

"Okay, I'll get it for you later."

After dealing with Zango, Sig left Zango's room.

Tina's photo... Sig certainly doesn't have one.

Although he had met Tina once, that was back when he was still in the East China Sea.

However, Sieg is not without options.

A moment later, Sieg, carrying a box of cigars, knocked on Smoker's door.

"Tsk tsk, a spear-shaped cigar, a rare item only a general-level officer could afford..."

Sieg used the same trick again, and soon Smoker's eyes widened.

"Higuma, what are your plans now? I heard that those marines in the G5 branch have recently turned over a new leaf."

Smoker said irritably, but his eyes were unconsciously fixed on the cigar.

"This has absolutely nothing to do with those rough-around-the-edges guys in the G5 branch of the navy... Smoker, I heard you're quite familiar with Tina?"

"You want to make a move on Tina? She has no shortage of suitors in the Navy."

Smoker paused slightly, giving Sieg a strange look.

Sig has a KING face and a very tough art style, so it's a bit surprising that he would pursue Tina.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in Tina. I just want her photos."

Smoker was startled and nearly dropped his cigar.

"you...."

Seeing Smoker's expression, Sigurd immediately recalled his previous misunderstanding with Zango, and added:

"It's a normal photo, don't overthink it."

"Here's the thing, I have a friend who really admires Tina..."

“Alright, I get it. Tina isn’t the kind of person to be coy, it’s just a photo.” Smoker gave him an understanding look and naturally took the cigar box from Sieg.

...........

A rest day a few days later.

In a small town on Marineford Island.

Smoker and Tina changed into casual clothes and walked side by side down the street.

Smoker had two cigars in his mouth, and Tina also had a cigarette in her mouth; both of them were puffing away.

"Smoker, have you struck it rich lately? This spear cigar is quite expensive. Even Tina can't afford it, let alone you who's been staying in the training camp all the time."

Tina raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"It's alright," Smoker replied dismissively, then proceeded to speak directly:

"Tina, I need your photo. Would you mind if I took one?"

As he spoke, Smoker had already pulled out a camera Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

Tina wasn't the type to be coy or shy, and knowing her as Smoker did, it was no big deal.
