I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The remaining sailors gasped in alarm, but none dared to come and help him up; they all looked at Sieg with grief and indignation.

"Heinous! Utterly inhuman!"

"This bandit leader, Sig, is utterly ruthless and has no moral bottom line!"

"Colonel Calvin collapsed just a few steps away from him, incapacitated. He could have easily taken action... but he didn't!"

"He insisted on putting on an embarrassing show in front of Colonel Caven simply because Colonel Caven had correctly predicted that he wouldn't bother with it... Sieg was determined to do the opposite of Colonel Caven's guess!"

"He disdains to lay a hand on Colonel Caven, but instead deliberately tries to infuriate him?"

The naval soldiers were completely devastated.

What kind of enemy is the most terrifying?

Their strength was so immense that it was almost unbelievable. They used the Devil Fruit's power with such ease, without even using the sword at their waist, that the Marines fled in terror.

Not necessarily. Some hot-blooded young people, for the sake of justice in their hearts, may not be afraid of death.

And someone like Sieg, with his eccentric temper and ruthless nature, is someone no one can guess what he's thinking... and if you do manage to guess, Sieg will deliberately do the opposite!

Such an unpredictable enemy, coupled with its formidable strength, is the most terrifying kind of enemy!

The human heart is truly a mysterious thing.

With his previous actions, Sieg had caused the surrounding navy to flee without lifting a finger, leaving an indelible impression of his strange and powerful nature among the navy.

Then Sieg suddenly had an awkward performance with a new recruit, acting like an ordinary person who had never used a sword before.

This point seems contradictory.

But subconsciously, these navy men were more convinced that Sieg was a powerful eccentric, which was more believable than the idea that their navy, with three or four times the manpower, had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of an ordinary person who did not know swordsmanship.

"Awesome!"

"Awesome!"

Taking advantage of the situation, the bandits' morale soared, and they shouted angrily.

This, in turn, led to a complete collapse of naval morale.

"Colonel Caven is gone, then what about the lieutenant colonel? Has the lieutenant colonel also fallen?"

"Major? What? The major ran away?"

"Then the Kingdom's military commander who cooperated with us... they ran even faster?"

"Brothers, this is no match for us. We must get back alive and inform the World Government of Sig's strength so they can send an even stronger fleet. So... let's retreat!"

A massive rout.

This battle deep in the mountains ended in a strange way... or rather, the whole process was strange.

Eventually, the two hundred or so bandits regrouped around Sig.

Although they won the battle, given their numbers, it was clearly impossible for them to chase down all the fleeing enemy soldiers, so Sieg did not order a pursuit.

"Boss! I have fulfilled my mission!"

The bald man said solemnly.

"This time, we didn't leave our leader to fight alone like last time... Have we passed the test this time?"

He had multiple injuries, covered in blood, and looked somewhat exhausted, but the fire in his eyes still burned fiercely.

Sieg glanced at him and nodded with pleasure:

"You did a very good job."

"Let's keep pushing, it's time to get going."

Sig stood atop the hill, gazing into the distance. He didn't look at the deserters, but rather at the distant coastline.

Chapter 49 I have General Morgan, who can slay Garp.

"Is the boss finally getting ready to set sail?"

The bandits finally showed expressions of excitement.

A bandit king whose goal is to conquer the Holy Land of Mary Geoise cannot possibly stay in the small island of the Goa Kingdom forever.

Going to sea was simply a natural progression.

In fact, many bandits had been secretly plotting for a long time.

Sieg nodded and said:

"Quickly bandage it up, get ready to go into the sea."

"Boss, do we have a boat?"

Sieg smiled slightly:

"The Bursam Pirates, who are at the Uncertainty Terminal Harbor, don't they have a ship?"

Having just defeated the Allied forces' encirclement, the Sig Mountain Pirates were riding high. The Bursam Pirates, whose reputation and momentum were previously weaker than Sig Mountain's, were naturally not taken seriously by them.

"Boss Sig, there's one more thing. This unconscious navy officer... could he really be joining us?"

The bald bandit's gaze fell on Monka, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

"Of course it's true! I'm going to train Morgana into a phantom god with the strength of a super admiral!"

Sieg waved his hand, his manner confident and imposing.

He imagined the scene many years later, where his subordinate Morgan would chop Garp down with an axe.

What lines should he say then?

"I have General Morgan, who can slay Garp!"

Not only Monka, the phantom god, Sig also wanted to collect other legends from the sea.

For example, Dadan, the bandit empress who beat up Garp; Joseph, the swordsman who nearly killed Mihawk; and Johnny, the swordsman who ignored Shanks, the user of the Face-Face Fruit, and swallowed one of his arms—these are all possibilities...

Once Sieg has collected so many dream-level characters, it will be time to overturn the world!

Hig, the Bandit King, will dominate the Holy Land of Mary Geoise! ​​The Great Bandit Era begins!

Just kidding.

Sieg was certainly not naive enough to believe that Morgan actually possessed the qualities of an admiral.

As for the idea that "I defeated Morgan, which is practically the same as winning against the Pirate King," he was just indulging in his own fantasies.

How could someone as smart and witty as him possibly take a joke on a forum seriously?

Sieg looked at the unconscious Monka, lost in thought.

He was serious about temporarily taking Monka under his wing.

The only special thing about Monka was that he barely withstood the pressure of Sig's weak imperial engine and mustered the courage to fight Sig.

This is something even Colonel Calvin, the supreme commander of this battle, didn't have the courage to do.

"This Monka is qualified to be my punching bag, to test the effectiveness of the Emperor Engine." This was Sig's true thought.

Who is Monka? Why is he so special? It's certainly not because he has some kind of super-admiral-level strength.

Many people's impression of Monca is that of a brutal and arrogant naval branch captain.

However, Sigurd, who is familiar with the One Piece storyline, knows that there is more to the story.

Monka was once a passionate and brave recruit, but an encounter with "Hundred Tricks" Clod changed his life and personality forever.

That time, all the marines on the warship were killed by Kuro of the Black Cat Pirates. The recruit Morgan had his arm cut off and his jaw crushed, but he still roared defiantly at Kuro.

This impressed Kro somewhat, and he ordered the hypnotist Zango to hypnotize Monka, making him believe that he had Kro under control and thus changing Monka's personality.

Later, after making great contributions, Monca became a naval ensign and was gradually promoted to captain of the 153rd Naval Division. He gradually became a completely unfamiliar, brutal, and arrogant man.

This is something that will happen a few years later in the original story.

At this time, Morgan was just a 37-year-old, enthusiastic recruit who had just joined the Navy.

Monka's appearance served as a wake-up call for Sieg.

"It seems that the Emperor Engine is not a panacea after all."

For some people, especially those with too many ideas, the Emperor Engine may have a remarkable effect.

However, it may not be effective for some hot-blooded, reckless young men, or strong individuals who are extremely confident in their abilities.

King in One-Punch Man has also encountered many crises and been tested by various powerful opponents.

Sig is different from King; he doesn't have the ability to summon the Bald Cape Man.

If a hot-blooded, impulsive young man like Monka can barely withstand the pressure of a weak Emperor Engine, what if there's an even stronger enemy next time?

For example, the Beasts Pirates under Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, are all brutes.

For example... Garp.

The reason Sigmund met Garp before was because he mentioned Roger and Ace. Garp had been carrying a secret for many years, which made him start to think.

If you were to unexpectedly encounter Garp on the high seas, you probably wouldn't even have a chance to speak.

.................

Distant mountain peaks.

Ivankov, the transvestite king, watched the entire battle, but his expression remained very strange.

"In a sense, the dragon would probably regret not having witnessed this strange battle firsthand."

Ivankov muttered to himself.

The battle was completely different from what he had imagined.

Although Sieg did make a move, it was a clumsy and awkward performance against a naval recruit.

"Sigu Boy is truly a dangerous individual; our Revolutionary Army should definitely avoid becoming his enemy..."

"And, could he really want to train that naval recruit to become someone who surpasses an admiral?"

This absurd conclusion gave Ivankov a real headache.
