I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The palm trees and rocks in the photo also exhibit the same distortion!

"What the hell?! Over-Photoshop caused spatial distortion! Is this what this photo editing camera means by distorting reality?"

Sig had a grumbling stuck in his throat, and he couldn't hold it in any longer.

But then he noticed that the camera screen suddenly flickered for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"...So, does this reality-distorting function actually cause potential damage to the camera?"

Sig looked at the three Hancock sisters beside him; he wasn't the kind of person who did good deeds without expecting anything in return.

Now that he has paid the price of using the camera and has helped the Hancock sisters a great deal, it's time to make his demands.

Chapter 460 Asahi

On the beach, Sieg and the Empress stood facing each other, the atmosphere becoming slightly more formal.

Despite what happened earlier, both of them are leaders of their respective factions and are of great importance.

At this moment, Sieg is about to make his demands, and Empress Hancock must also take it seriously.

"Empress, if anything serious happens in the future, can you protect me?"

Sieg was actually a little embarrassed to say such a thing.

After all, he is no longer Navy Captain Higuma, but the pirate king of the sea, Higuma.

Even if he uses the Flying Thunder God Slash in front of others, he is still Sigurd, and he has the burden of being a big shot.

After thinking for a moment, Sieg swallowed his words and instead said:

"Empress Hancock, my request is..." Sieg hesitated for a moment before finally speaking:

Let's play rock-paper-scissors! We'll keep playing until you lose!

Hancock paused, noticing that Sieg had been silent for a long time and assumed he was preparing something earth-shattering.

"That's it?"

She found Sieg's thinking a little hard to understand. It was just rock-paper-scissors? Was it really that simple?

"Why are we playing rock-paper-scissors? What's the special meaning behind it? What are you up to? Is this rock-paper-scissors game some kind of wager?"

Hancock asked a series of questions.

It wasn't that she was being paranoid; it was just that Sieg's previous behavior had left a very deep impression on her.

Things like "serving the country with utmost loyalty," "correcting characters," and "signing one's name"...

She had to guess the deeper meaning behind Sieg's move.

"It's nothing special, let's get started."

As they talked, the two of them started playing rock-paper-scissors face to face.

At that moment, shouts rang out again from afar.

"Boss Sig!"

"Boss!"

Just then, an ironclad pirate ship appeared around the corner of the coast. Despite surviving a tsunami, the ship sustained relatively little damage.

When the bandits on the ship saw the Empress standing next to Sig, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise once again.

"That's... the Pirate Empress!"

"How did she end up next to the boss? I remember the Seven Warlords of the Sea are enemies."

"Could it be... that she also admires our Boss Sig?"

"It must be the boss's heroic performance yesterday that completely won over the Pirate Empress!"

"Boss Sig is too strong!"

In the palm grove, Crocdale listened to the commotion of the bandits, and her eyes twitched slightly.

Siegfried's dominant performance yesterday?

Yesterday, he basically only did one thing: pok someone's butt with a coffin lid, okay?

"Let alone the Empress, what woman would admire him for something like this?"

Thinking of this, Crocdale subconsciously covered her own anus.

That said, Sieg didn't just stab people with coffin lids...

At that moment, the commotion on the armored pirate ship was also silenced by a voice.

"Quiet!"

"Can't you see that the boss is having an important discussion with the Pirate Empress? We absolutely mustn't disturb them!"

The bald man gazed at Sig and the Empress from afar, his tone slightly excited.

"Discussing important matters? But they're clearly just playing rock-paper-scissors. What kind of important matter would be decided so hastily?" someone questioned.

The bald man smiled:

"That's because we didn't hear the boss's private conversation with the Pirate Empress. I have a feeling that what they talked about was definitely not ordinary."

In the short time it took to exchange a few words, Sieg and Hancock had played rock-paper-scissors five or six times, and Sieg hadn't won a single round.

On the seventh time, Sieg threw a punch, and Hancock threw a cloth.

"Fine, I'll admit defeat, okay?" Hancock was getting impatient and gave up directly.

Sieg paused for a moment, but then nodded.

"Big sister, it's the old members of the Sig Mountain Bandits." Sandasonia reminded her from the side.

Sig turned his head as well, and then sighed quietly to himself.

After going through a series of twists and turns, faking his death and being reborn, he seemed to have returned to where he started.

However, after Magikarp defeated the Marines with a tsunami, Higuma did not blame his former subordinates.

At that moment, another figure leaped up from the armored ship and pounced into Sieg's arms.

"It's Baby...it's Viburnum..."

Sieg put Viburn down from his arms, and when Viburn heard Sieg's words, her eyes lit up as she looked up at him:

"Mr. Sieg can just call me BABY."

Sieg sighed softly and patted Viben's head. "Stop fooling around."

Then he turned his head and made eye contact with the smiling bald man and the others next to him.

"Boss Sig, welcome back."

"Actually, we encountered an unexpected person on Sword Mountain Island. I think you, Boss Sig, would be happy to meet him," the bald man said with a smile.

Hmm? Could it be the revolutionary army?

Sig immediately became a little excited.

The revolutionary army had done him a great favor before, with even their leader personally getting involved.

"Who is it? Take me to see..." Sig said as he walked away, but was then stopped by Hancock.

“Wait, Sig, shouldn’t we get down to business?” Hancock said.

"We've played rock-paper-scissors, now it's time for you to state your terms."

"Serious business? Wasn't that already over?" Sig smiled and then followed the bandits away.

Hancock watched with a slightly bewildered expression as Sieg and the others gradually walked away.

"That's it? Really no other conditions?"

"What does 'rock-paper-scissors' mean? Does he really want to win that badly?"

The three Hancock sisters discussed it for a while, but none of them could figure it out.

At that moment, a shiny bald head appeared in front of them.

"Pirate Empress, may I ask what our Boss Higuma just said?"

Hancock glanced at the bald man, then at Marigold beside her, who understood and briefly recounted what had happened.

The bald man's reaction surprised them.

"I see..." The bald man nodded repeatedly after hearing this, deeply moved.

"As expected of Boss Sig."

"Sorry, our boss likes to speak and act indirectly, and often uses words and actions to strongly imply things to others."

"Actually, I saw what happened just now too."

The bald man stretched out his hands, one hand clenched into a fist, the other palm open.

"Just now, Boss Sigurd used a rock to forcibly defeat your cloth, Pirate Empress..."

"A tightly clenched fist can win against loose cloth; this is actually meant to convey a signal."

"That is to say... an alliance," the bald man explained.

Hancock frowned and raised a question:

"You mean Sig wants to form an alliance with me? If he has that intention, why doesn't he just say so?"

The bald man smiled, a smile that shone with light.

"Pirate Empress, it's not really appropriate for me to say that."

"But Boss Sig is actually a very gentle man."

Gentle...?

The word made Hancock recall Sieg's triumphant performance yesterday, and she subconsciously tensed up, clenching her buttocks.

This subtle adjustment in body posture caught the bald man's eye, causing his gaze to flicker slightly.
