I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Higuma, do you still remember that World Government ship that traversed the battlefield on Kenzan Island?"

"The owner of that ship was the Celestial Dragon, Saint Musgard. After crossing the battlefield, he went directly to Fish-Man Island, but some things happened later..."

Zefa didn't elaborate, but gestured for Sieg to look up.

Sieg looked up and was immediately struck by a shock.

At the bow of that Celestial Dragon's ship, two people stood side by side.

One of them was the Celestial Dragon, Saint Musgard, who wore a bubble shield on his head.

The other person was a woman with wavy blonde hair and wearing a long robe shaped like goldfish scales.

Surprisingly, the Celestial Dragon and the woman were standing side by side, and they even seemed to be having a conversation.

This doesn't conform to common sense in this world.

The Celestial Dragons are almost all arrogant and domineering. Even passing by them without kneeling in respect would result in execution, let alone standing side-by-side and conversing with one...

“That woman is Queen Otohime of the Dragon Palace Kingdom on Fish-Man Island,” Zephyr explained.

"Higuma, your mission is to lead the team to escort Queen Otohime back to Fishman Island safely."

Queen Otohime?

Sig paused for a moment.

Upon hearing this name, he roughly understood the whole story.

In the original story, the Celestial Dragon Saint Mjolnir was shipwrecked and lost on Fishman Island, where he was rescued and reformed by Queen Otohime.

Queen Otohime then returned with the Celestial Dragon Saint Mjosgard and traveled throughout the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, eventually obtaining a signature for Fish-Man Island.

The process of escorting Queen Otohime back to Fishman Island was not dangerous.

Danger occurred after Queen Otohime returned to Fishman Island.

“However, Higuma, your real mission is not to escort Queen Otohime back…” Zephyr lowered his voice and said:

"Our navy has received a secret report... Arlong, a member of the Sig Mountain Pirates, is currently hiding on Fishman Island."

"Your real mission is to secretly arrest Ah Long and bring him back alive. This is related to Sig, and it's a very important mission."

Higuma paused again, blinking once.

It seems that Zephyr has been holding onto the matter of his promise to hunt down the remnants of the Sig Mountain bandits.

After thinking for a moment, Higuma probed again:

"I heard that this Arlong is not only a former subordinate of Higuma, but also a member of the Sun Pirates. One of the conditions for Jinbe to become a Shichibukai was to release the fishman Arlong..."

“You don’t need to worry about these things. Jinbe has others keeping him in check…” Zephyr glanced at Higuma but didn’t say anything more.

...........

The day.

After returning to his dormitory, Higuma closed the doors and windows, then used a Den Den Mushi to dial a number.

He called Sieg.

There is no so-called mental link between the shadow clone and the original body. If they want to communicate, they can only communicate through Den Den Mushi (snail phone) unless they release the shadow clone.

After a brief exchange, we hung up the phone.

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door of Rixiong's dormitory.

Let's offer a bounty.

Chapter 483 Shocking! A man secretly did this in broad daylight!

dong dong dong...

As soon as the knocking sounded, Higuma was startled.

"Who is it?" Higuma asked tentatively, while quickly putting the Den Den Mushi back in its place.

Higuma watched the doorway warily, without moving, secretly clenching his fist.

Just as he finished the call, there was a knock on the door, which made Higuma's heart pound. Back when Sig had just created a shadow clone on Sword Mountain Island, he had the shadow clone, in Sig's form, ask Morgan to help him re-install a spherical soundproof barrier in the heart area.

The heart issue won't be revealed, but he can't explain the content of the phone call...

Danger!

While Higuma was filled with worry, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.

"Uncle Sun Bear? It's me."

That's Ian's voice.

That's fine.

Sun Bear felt relieved and quickly walked over, opened the door, and Ain's little head peeked in from outside, scrutinizing Sig and his room with a hint of suspicion.

"Uncle Sunbear, you're so slow..."

"And why did you lock the door in broad daylight... You even closed the windows and drew the curtains."

Higuma scratched his head, his expression calm and composed: "Oh... I was just about to catch up on some sleep. I didn't hear the knocking."

The shadow clone Higuma and the original Sigurd are actually the same person. Naturally, Higuma inherited Sigurd's acting skills. Having seen all sorts of ups and downs along the way, he would not easily lose his composure.

"Is that so?" Ain glanced at Sig's messy bed, her eyes flickered, and she said in a low voice:

"Honestly, Uncle Higuma has only been back at headquarters for a few days, and his dorm is already a mess... Does he really need my help to tidy it up?"

Ain walked to the bedside, then directly lifted the sheet, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the empty bed underneath, before starting to fold the blankets.

Soon, the quilt had been folded into a neat square shape, like a tofu block.

"Honestly, Uncle Sun Bear hasn't been back for days, and the floor is already starting to collect dust."

As they were talking, Ain diligently picked up the broom in the corner and began sweeping the floor.

However, when sweeping the foot of the bed, I bent down and glanced under the bed.

There was nothing under the bed, of course.

"...What are you doing? I can do cleaning myself."

Japanese bears were somewhat speechless.

What is this kid looking for...? The neighbor?

He casually pulled back the curtains and opened the window, letting the sunlight stream back into the room, appearing completely at ease.

This appearance only fueled Ain's suspicions.

"Shouldn't the sheets be changed, Uncle Higuma? I remember there's a new set of sheets in the closet, right?"

As Ain said this, she opened Sig's wardrobe.

There's no one here, of course.

However, after rummaging around in the closet, Ain actually found a small bag inside.

It was a bag of photos, photos of Tina that Smoker had taken when Sieg borrowed mushrooms from Zango.

In the photo, Tina is dressed casually, with long pink hair draped over her shoulders and a cigarette dangling from her mouth. She is indeed a dashing and beautiful woman, a rare beauty among the navy.

Before Ain could even ask, Higuma readily and spontaneously began to explain:

"Oh, these are photos of Tina. I had a friend who wanted to pursue Tina, so I asked Smoker to take the photos."

"Your friend?" Ain blinked, still looking puzzled.

"Uncle Xiong, since your friend needed them, why do you still have so many of her photos?"

"Her photos are very useful. Maybe other people will need them in the future, after all, Tina has quite a few suitors in the Navy."

Higuma replied in this way.

These words made Ain tilt her head, her suspicion deepening.

"Useful? It's just a photo. How else can a photo be used?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ain suddenly remembered something.

She suddenly raised her head, her brows furrowed, and looked at Rixiong with a complex and incredulous gaze.

"Uncle Rixiong, were you alone in the room just now, secretly using these photos?"

Ain's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, and her face flushed red.

Photos? Useful? And you'll be lending them to other people who need them in the future?

The adult world is so dirty!

When Higuma saw Ain's reaction, he was completely dumbfounded.

He did say he hoped Ian would grow up quickly... but not like this!

You've misunderstood...

Sun Bear took a step toward Ain and reached out to pat her head.

However, Ain was so frightened that she took three or four steps back, her body trembling slightly, and looked at Higuma with a complex gaze that mixed with disgust and sorrow.

Sun Bear: .....

"Let me explain for now. I was making a phone call in my room just now." Sig pointed to the Den Den Mushi on the bedside table.

Den Den Mushi usually goes to sleep when it is not used for a long time, but this Den Den Mushi is open, which means that Higuma may have used the phone not long ago.

"Oh, they were just making a phone call..."

Ian visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but her brows furrowed again a moment later.

"But why did you close the doors and windows so tightly when you were making a phone call?"
