I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

As his consciousness returned to reality, Sig suddenly felt a little tired.

At this moment, the bear was still waiting for Sieg's response.

“I lost, Mr. Sig. You can tell me what you want me to do.” Bear remained calm, without any change in expression.

"Give me a massage, use your abilities to dispel my fatigue."

It was just a simple game of rock-paper-scissors, so Sieg naturally wouldn't make any unreasonable demands.

"Fatigue from being ejected? No big deal." Xiong nodded, took off his gloves, revealing a pair of broad, thick hands with paw pads like a cat's.

Kuma is a user of the Paw-Paw Fruit, which allows him to not only repel air but also conceptual objects.

For example, fatigue, pain, etc.

The bear walked towards Sig and gently patted Sig's shoulder. Instantly, a fleshy, ball-shaped bubble was released from the other side of Sig's body and began to expand in the air.

Finally, a bear paw bubble floated quietly in the air, and Sieg felt refreshed, as if all his fatigue had vanished, and he felt so comfortable that he almost took off from the spot.

This ability of bears is simply the best form of massage.

"If I had known, I should have used the bear's abilities to my heart's content back in the East China Sea."

Sieg sighed inwardly, feeling refreshed and his thinking speed seemed to have increased.

Then, he suddenly had an idea.

Sieg called the bald man to his side and gave him instructions:

"Call Perona over, I have an idea..."

A moment later, Sig, Xiong, and Perona looked at each other in an open space.

“Mr. Sieg, your idea sounds feasible, but are you sure you really want to do it?”

The bear's expression also changed slightly.

Judging from the result of the rock-paper-scissors game, it's not a big deal for him to do Sieg a small favor.

But after hearing Sig's plan and learning about Perona's abilities, he felt that this wasn't helping, but rather helping Sig to torture himself.

"It's alright, I, Sieg, am no ordinary person. I can handle it!"

Sig smiled faintly, looked at Perona and Xiong, and nodded to indicate that they could begin.

"Honestly, you called me here just to do this kind of thing!" Perona seemed a little upset, and exclaimed softly.

"Negative ghosts!"

A translucent white ghost appeared beside Perona and then burrowed directly into Sig's body.

Suddenly, Sieg felt his spirits plummet to the lowest point, but he remained outwardly calm.

“That’s it, that’s the feeling. It’s your turn, Bear,” Sig urged.

"You resisted the effects of the Devil Fruit's power solely through willpower?" Kuma was slightly moved. Seeing this, he felt relieved and gently patted Sigurd on the shoulder.

This slap quickly expelled the negative emotions that had been shrouding Sieg, forming a pale red bear paw bubble.

"Negative ghosts!"

At that moment, another negative phantom passed through Sig's body, and Sig's emotions, which had just returned to normal, were once again shrouded in negativity.

Chapter 467 New Bounty

Negative phantoms kept moving in and out of Sig's body, while the bear kept patting Sig's shoulder, with pale red bear paw bubbles floating in the air.

Outside the revolutionary army's hideout.

A cloud of yellow sand coalesced into a human shape, and Crocodile watched Sig and the others' actions, her expression showing emotion.

Crocodile had heard of Bartholomew Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability, as they were both Shichibukai, but what shocked her was Higuma's performance.

Each bubble was filled with Sieg's extremely negative emotions.

This shows that... Sig is not immune to negative influences, and that his emotions do not contain negative elements.

Siegfried's unwavering will allowed him to perform normally even under extreme negative circumstances...

Crocdale has a deep personal understanding of the horror of negative spirits.

For the past three months, she has been trying to resist the influence of negative spirits, but she is powerless to do so.

But now, observing Sieg's actions, she seems to have found a way.

"Is it not about resisting this extreme negativity, but about harnessing it so that you can act freely even when you are extremely negative?"

"Has Sig really gone this far?" Crocdale felt a little frustrated and sighed softly.

In the end, however, she did not leave and rejoined Sig's band of bandits.

She still had a sense of shame; after being treated like that by Sieg, she still felt somewhat embarrassed.

...........

Meanwhile, on Sig and Xiong's side, after popping a full twenty bubbles, Xiong stopped and rested for a while.

At this moment, there were a full twenty pale red bear paw-shaped bubbles, quietly suspended in the air.

Once hit by this negative bear paw bubble, the overflowing negative emotions inside will immediately engulf the enemy.

This may seem like an unnecessary step, as it has the same effect as Perona's Negative Fruit, but it is actually different.

Kuma's Paw Paw Fruit is far more developed than Perona's. His paw bubbles are much tougher than they appear and last longer. They can even support a person and fly in the sky for days and nights, regardless of wind and rain.

Perona's negative ghost, however, cannot stray too far from the user's body for too long.

However, this does not mean that the Paw Paw Fruit's power is superior to the Spirit Spirit Fruit.

The Spirit-Spirit Fruit can directly induce extremely negative emotions in Sigurd, and can create something out of nothing.

While a bear could certainly expel negative emotions by relying solely on its abilities, it would likely require the combined negative emotions of dozens or even hundreds of people to create an "extremely negative" effect.

These two fruits work together to form the 20 negative bear paw bubbles in front of Sieg.

Sieg reached out, grabbed a bear paw bubble in his hand, and squeezed it slightly. The bubble was visibly reduced in size but not popped.

He thought for a moment, then had the bald man find a few bottles, stuffed the bear paw bubbles into them, and weighed them in his hand to decide what to do.

“Bear, these twenty bubbles are considered to be the result of our joint efforts. How about we split it 50/50, with each side getting 10 bubbles?” Sig asked.

These bear paw-shaped bubbles, which are filled with negative emotions yet relatively stable, are also a powerful weapon for the revolutionary army, and the revolutionary army needs them very much.

Sieg decided to be frank to avoid any misunderstandings.

Xiong nodded, representing the revolutionary army in agreeing.

"Okay... Next, I'd like to try an even bigger one."

Sig reached out and touched a negative ghost beside him, and negative emotions surged up in his heart again.

Unlike before, negative emotions never left Sieg's body. The intense negative emotions had just been expelled by the bear's slap, but they kept resurfacing.

Soon, the bear paw bubble expanded rapidly, becoming as large as a house.

"That's enough, this is almost ten times the amount we had before." By this point, Xiong was also slightly sweating.

He removed his hands from Sig’s shoulders, then grasped the house-sized bubble again with both hands and rubbed it repeatedly, like rolling a ball to slowly shrink the large bubble.

Finally, a bright red bear paw bubble, no bigger than a fist, floated quietly in the air, and was then caught by Sieg and put into a wine bottle.

By this point, Xiong's face showed signs of fatigue, clearly indicating that the compressed bubble had not been easy for him either.

"Ten times the negativity...besides me, I'm afraid only Usopp could handle it..."

Sieg was also a little excited.

The bandit king's signature bottle-smashing head-smashing technique has gained a new debuff effect.

Similar to Aion's previous regressive fire, Sieg now needs to consider... how to get the bottle to hit someone's head.

At that moment, he saw several figures wearing cloaks walking quickly towards him.

The Revolutionary Army leader Dragon, along with Ivankov, the Okama King, and Robin, have finally arrived.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with the dragons and expressing his gratitude, Sig's gaze fell upon Robin.

After only three months in the Revolutionary Army, Robin was much more energetic. Her short hair had grown longer, and even her skin had become fairer.

"Mr. Sig, it's been a long time." Robin smiled slightly.

"The Revolutionary Army really is like a beauty salon..."

While admiring the poster, Sig's gaze fell on a wanted poster in Robin's hand. He could vaguely make out the word "WANTED" and the photo on it, which seemed to be... Sig himself!

"My bounty? That makes sense. Now that I've reappeared, the Navy will most likely have to put up new bounties."

Sieg nodded, his expression calm; he wasn't surprised by this.

After he faked his death, the Navy naturally canceled Sieg's bounty. It's normal for them to re-issue the bounty now.

This scene, witnessed by the dragon, also earned his admiration, and he laughed:

"Mr. Sieg is indeed very composed and calm in the face of adversity."

“That’s true. For someone like Mr. Sig, a bounty is just a number. Even if the bounty is as high as 1.8 billion, it’s still only below those pirate emperors, so it’s nothing.”

"Eighteen billion?" Sig was shocked. He turned to look at the dragon, as if trying to figure out if the dragon was joking.

In this era, the only ones with a higher bounty than Higuma are a few pirate emperors: the Four Emperors plus the Golden Lion who has returned to the sea, making a total of five!

And Sig is the sixth person with the highest bounty on this entire ocean.

"I should have expected this... This time, coming back from the dead, the bounty would definitely increase, but why did it increase by such a high amount of 800 million at once?"

Sieg's face darkened slightly, and his heart began to race at the thought of the series of troubles to come.

Chapter 468 New Character Card: Dragonborn

The bounty reflects the level of importance the World Government places on the pirates and the level of danger they pose.

The reason why the Four Emperors have such high bounties, far surpassing other pirates, is not only because of their own immense strength, but also because they represent an extremely powerful force.

The title of Pirate Emperor is not undeserved; they reign supreme in the New World, much like emperors among pirates.
