I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Task Rewards: Receive cards of random quality based on the completion rate of the task."

Is it time to draw cards again?

Sig was initially pleasantly surprised, but this time he didn't rush to draw a card; instead, he continued scrolling down for more hints.

Then he saw another task.

Mission: Shichibukai.

"Mission objective: Defeat 7 of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. (4/7)"

"Task Reward: You can randomly draw one duplicate card from the currently obtained card pool."

Duplicate cards? That means +1 to Noble Phantasm?

What idiot would want a reward like this? It's better to just draw a new card.

Sieg frowned instinctively.

But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that the future was clear.

After all, this isn't some gacha-based pay-to-win mobile game.

Sig has acquired many cards, and as long as their abilities are fully utilized, they often have surprising effects.

For example, Sig has already used up all his Possession Card uses, which includes the [100% Evasion] Iruma Card, the [Dream Murder] Cao Cao Card, the "True Fragrance" Card, the Tom Card, etc.

Thinking of this, Sieg remembered something else and asked:

What happens if you get duplicate character cards?

[The host can use duplicate character cards to enhance card abilities, thereby randomly strengthening card abilities or gaining entirely new card abilities.]

Sig: ......

It really is the same old gacha-based pay-to-win mobile game formula.

After careful consideration, SIG Power came to the rescue.

If you can obtain duplicate cards with powerful abilities, such as Li Jing cards or KING cards, and then enhance them, you might be able to create cards with abilities that surpass the original characters.

This... does smell really good.

Sig carefully reviewed the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" mission, and more detailed textual hints emerged from it.

"Targets achieved: Hawkeye Mihawk, Doflamingo, Crocodile, Gecko Moria. (4/7)"

"In other words, of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea, the only three who haven't been captured by my Ying Kingdom are Jinbe, Empress Hancock, and Kuma."

"Wait a minute, these people should all be around Sword Mountain Island, right?"

After thinking about it this way, Sieg suddenly felt motivated.

Immediately afterwards, Sig's consciousness sank into the sea of ​​stars, and he began the card-drawing process.

Endless starlight shimmered, and a golden card emerged from it.

The card was flipped over, and this time, what appeared on the card was actually a camera.

"An S-class camera card? What camera can be considered S-class quality? Chen Mouxi's camera?"

Sieg stared intently at the camera, where a long text description appeared. After reading it, he was astonished.

Prop Card: Photo Editing Camera

Rank: S

ability:

Photo editing – Cameras can use Photoshop to edit photos and then distort reality in a way that reflects reality.

BUG ----- As the degree of reality distortion and the number of times images are edited increase, the probability of camera damage increases.

Upon seeing this new item, Sieg immediately envisioned a million ways to play with it.

His first thought was to take a selfie and then edit it.

My second thought was to photoshop Luffy's straw hat into a bright green...

The third idea was to take a group photo of the admirals and then Photoshop their heads out.

However, these thoughts largely vanished after witnessing the capabilities of the bug.

"It should be a very useful item card, but it's best not to use it lightly."

Sieg was slightly disappointed.

Back in reality, Sig glanced down at his feet and landed back on the beach. He patted the sand off his body, but suddenly frowned slightly.

Sig was unconscious on the beach, and his body was indeed covered in sand, which is normal.

But at that moment he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The sand on his body was pale yellow, while the sand on the beach beneath his feet was lighter in color, ranging from pale yellow to pale white, especially in the part near the ocean where the sand was as fine and white as silver.

"Is the sand on my body a little yellowish? Is it because I'm wearing yellow-tinted glasses that everything looks yellow?"

Sieg chuckled self-deprecatingly, not giving it much thought, and once again stepped through the air, walking step by step towards the sky.

After being reborn as the bandit king, Sig didn't know what to do for the time being.

My immediate goal is to complete the Shichibukai mission, reunite with my old comrades, and leave this Sword Mountain Island as soon as possible.

And with Sieg's departure.

On the yellow and white sand beach, yellow sand gradually rose up and condensed into a human shape, and Crocodile's figure appeared.

She glanced expressionlessly in the direction Sieg had left, but her feelings were somewhat complicated.

She was, after all, a strong person. Although she was swept up in the tsunami and felt weak all over, she was not so weak that she lost consciousness immediately.

When Sieg rescued her from the giant wave, she was still somewhat conscious.

So after being rescued ashore, she searched for a while before finding the unconscious Sieg.

"This guy..."

Crocdale frowned slightly as she watched Sieg's departing figure.

Even now, she still felt a vague, foreign sensation, though it was just a hallucination...

After hesitating for a moment, her body turned into sand again, trailing far behind Sig, observing from the shadows.

Chapter 453 Picking Up an Empress

After leaving the beach, Sieg stepped on the air and used Tomka's air-walking ability to walk in the air.

The idea was to climb high and look far, and Sieg planned to ascend directly to a high place on air to find his old comrades in a place with a wide view.

"Should we use shadow clones to help find...? No, let's leave it be. Shadow clone Higuma was killed by the tsunami, and now we finally have a shadow clone that can move freely..."

Sieg suppressed the thought in his mind.

His idea of ​​climbing to a higher place was indeed very effective. After a quick search, he saw a familiar person on another beach.

It was the Pirate Empress Hancock, who was lying face down on the beach, seemingly unconscious.

Hancock, also a Devil Fruit user, was swept up in the tsunami just like everyone else.

"She's actually quite lucky. As someone with superpowers, she didn't drown but was instead washed ashore?"

Sig thought for a moment, then stepped down, lowering his altitude, and soon landed on the beach.

Although Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, is also an enemy of his, Higuma, Higuma knows from their previous battles that Hancock's hostility towards him is not that intense.

Of course, this might just be the Empress's dislike of the Navy, and her single-minded focus on interfering with their operations.

"If I take advantage of the Empress's current unconscious state..."

A bold idea formed in Sieg's mind. He strode to the Empress's side, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

He felt a little nervous about what he was going to do next.

"If I quietly go over and hit her on the head, since she's unconscious right now, would that count as me defeating Hancock? Would that mean I've completed my mission objective?"

A thought crossed Sieg's mind.

He took a few deep breaths and tiptoed, afraid of making any noise that might wake Hancock.

However, Sieg vaguely sensed that a gaze was watching him from the shadows, but when he looked around, he found nothing.

"Is it because I feel a little guilty? I keep feeling like someone is watching me..."

"I haven't done anything yet... If I get caught, I'll just say I came to wake her up."

Sieg shuffled even lighter, trying to reassure himself.

As a mountain bandit king, his act of rescuing an unconscious survivor was certainly well-intentioned!

But when Sieg walked up to Hancock, his gaze lingered on her back for a moment.

Hancock was lying face down on the beach, but there seemed to be a corner cut on her back, and her clothes were slightly torn.

The damage wasn't actually very obvious; Sieg only noticed it when he got closer. But when he saw it clearly, he was stunned.

The damaged area consisted partly of fair back skin and partly of a dark red mark.

Sky Dragon's Hoof.

In her early years, the Empress was a slave of the Celestial Dragons. Slaves were forced to brand their bodies with the hoof of the Celestial Dragon, signifying that they would be slaves of the Celestial Dragons forever.

"The Heavenly Dragon's Hoof... If I Photoshop this mark off, would I be able to do the Empress a huge favor?"

Thinking about this, Sieg was also a little tempted.

"At that time, I'll make the Empress lose to me in private. Just thinking about it makes me feel pretty good."

A smile unconsciously crept onto Sieg's face.

Without hesitation, a camera appeared in his hand.

In the world of One Piece, there are camera Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped electric detectors), but normal cameras also exist. Higuma's camera doesn't seem out of place.

In the palm grove beside the beach.

The yellow sand gathered into a human shape, and Crocdale stood behind the tree, coldly watching Sieg's side.
