I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"But speaking of which, Lingling," the long bread reminded her.

"It's summer now, and our ship's refrigerator has limited capacity, so we can't store too many cakes. Other cakes would spoil easily."

"So, if you're going to eat these cakes, you should eat them as soon as possible."

"Changed...deteriorated?"

Charlotte Lingling seemed to have been greatly shocked when she heard these words.

"If the tiramisu cake doesn't taste good anymore, will Wang Xige stop eating my cake?"

"No, we need to go back right away, to Rogge Town."

Longbread paused for a moment, then thought carefully before finally remembering who Wang Xige was, the one Charlotte Lingling had mentioned.

"Lingling actually still remembers him?"

"Wait a minute, it's not just that she remembered it. When Lingling was eating these tiramisu cakes, she was even thinking of sharing some with him!"

Longbread realized things weren't so simple.

He originally thought that Charlotte Linlin was still a brat.

When she encountered Sieg in Loguetown, she acted a little strangely, but she was quickly drawn to the food festival.

But now it seems...

"Could it be that Lingling wanted to get to Tiramisu Island as soon as possible because Wang Xige didn't eat her egg tarts that day, so Lingling wanted to bring him an even better tiramisu cake?"

Longbread was immediately confused when he thought about it.

He'd been partnered with Charlotte Linlin for six years now, but he couldn't recall her ever treating him this well before...

"Lingling, you've really grown up." Long bread sighed.

..........

During the time Charlotte Linlin was traveling by boat back towards Loguetown.

Sig is active in Loguetown as the behind-the-scenes owner of the tavern.

This day.

In the bar in Loguetown, Sieg was sitting leisurely behind the counter as usual, occasionally mixing drinks for customers.

"Wang Xige, your business is getting better and better."

Roger sat at the bar and smiled at Sieg.

"Roger, you're here again. You come drinking every day. When will you ever save enough money to buy a ship?"

Sieg said casually, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced around the tavern and saw that quite a few admiring eyes were looking over.

During this time, Sig’s tavern had already gained considerable fame in Loguetown.

It is said that a new young bartender has joined the bar. Not only is he handsome, but his bartending skills are also superb, and both male and female customers praise him highly.

However, due to Sieg's minor cosmetic surgery, the scene of female customers frantically offering themselves to him has largely disappeared.

"His bartending skills are really cool, just like the rumors say."

A blue-haired female customer cupped her face in her hands and gazed at Sieg from afar.

"Don't overthink it." Her female companion at the same table shook her head.

“He knows how to have fun. We unmarried virgins are not his type at all.”

"What a pity..." The blue-haired female customer said with great regret. She glanced at Sieg a few times with a hint of resentment, drank several glasses by herself, and then her eyes gradually became hazy.

Gradually, her gaze shifted to her female companion at the same table.

“I’ve got it! Why don’t we get married?” the blue-haired woman suddenly said, causing her female companion to choke.

“Once we get married, we’ll both be wives, then we can make our move on Wang Xige.”

“…”

Sieg heard this discussion.

"I don't know why, but some strange rumors have started circulating."

Sieg shook his head.

One of the effects of Observation Haki is that it can sharpen the five senses. Sitting behind the bar, he could hear most of the conversations in the entire tavern.

In fact, this was his second reason for opening the tavern.

Loguetown is the last stop on the route from the East Blue to the Grand Line, and most pirates preparing to enter the Grand Line will stop here.

Since the tavern gained fame, Sig's tavern has received many pirates and heard a lot of discussions.

This is an important source of intelligence.

In this day and age, before the existence of Morgans, the "King of News," the newspaper industry was relatively underdeveloped, so Sieg tried to obtain intelligence by opening a pub.

It's important to know that most of the Fifty-Six Emperors are now famous pirates, and many of them, such as the renowned sword hunter Mendis, already have a certain reputation.

Several of the other fifty-six emperors targeted by Sig also hailed from the East Sea. The probability of these powerful individuals appearing in Loguetown was much higher than in other areas of the East Sea.

While pondering.

A drunken, chubby-faced panda pushed open the tavern door and strode in.

"Bring the wine!"

"I've heard there's a pretty good bartender here!"

The chubby-faced panda pushed open the door and shouted.

The chubby-faced panda was large and had a protruding belly, making him look like a drunkard who was half-drunk and reeked of alcohol.

When he saw this person enter, Sieg was initially startled, but after taking a closer look, he felt relieved.

This person is different from the Panda Man.

Aside from their panda heads, the panda people's limbs and torsos are very similar to those of normal humans, and they have full muscles and are quite robust.

And the person in front of me...

Sieg glanced at it carefully, and his eyes lit up as a stack of bounty posters appeared in his hand.

The chubby-faced panda in front of me is none other than Rum the Drunkard, one of the future Fifty-Six Emperors of Impel Down, and belongs to the very few panda fur tribe members who have been separated from the city.

The bounty poster only contained the name, title, and bounty amount, without any further details. Sig didn't know whether this person was a power user or not.

As for this drunkard Rum, because of his unusual appearance and race, he had already been remembered and investigated by Sieg before the time travel.

Rum, a drunkard from the Mink Tribe, is a user of the Brew-Brew Fruit, which allows him to turn any object into alcohol.

In addition, Rum himself was a heavy drinker.

"Drunkard rum?"

Sieg thought for a moment, then walked up to Rum and asked him what kind of drink he wanted.

Rum, however, waved his hand dismissively and said:

"I heard this bar has a good bartender, so make me a drink I've never had before."

"Never had it before? What a strange request."

Sieg thought for a moment and then instructed the waiter beside him:

"Go to the clinic next door and buy a few bottles of iodine."

Chapter 606 Brewing Fruit

"Why hasn't it arrived yet? Boss, where's my wine?"

Panda Rum was a heavy drinker. He sat at the bar waiting, but after a long time, he still hadn't seen Sig Dong, so he started to urge him on.

He slammed his bear paw down on the wooden bar counter with a dull thud, leaving a shallow dent.

"I want wine, the best wine I've ever tasted before, and if you don't have any..."

Rum snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes:

"Then there's no point in continuing to exist a tavern that doesn't live up to its name."

Sig watched this scene without saying anything.

Among the prisoners locked in the lowest level of Impel Down, there were indeed figures like former Lieutenant General Saul, but the vast majority of prisoners were not exactly innocent.

Roger, on the other hand, saw this and his eyes lit up immediately.

"make trouble?"

"Wang Xige, if any troublemakers come to me for help! Just waive my drink bill for today!"

Roger was already standing nearby, looking excited and eager to join in.

"Troublemaking? Who's causing trouble?" Panda Rum roared in anger, slamming his hand on the bar counter again, causing another crack to appear.

"Anyone who dares to disturb my drinking is asking for death."

"I'm a Brewing Person who ate the Brewing Fruit, I'm very strong. Anyone who dares to mess with me should ask me first!"

"A...peeing person?" Roger was shocked.

The former owner of the tavern watched this scene speechlessly from behind the bar, feeling sorry for the bartender and sighing inwardly:

"Another drunkard who won't listen to reason has appeared."

Seeing that Rum the Panda and Roger were about to come to blows after a few words, he quickly prepared to go over and mediate.

But at this time.

A waiter jogged up to the bar and said to Sig:

"Mr. Wang Xige, your iodine has arrived."

"Iodine?" Panda Rum's eyes widened in surprise.

He was already arguing with Roger and was getting increasingly irritable, and now he was completely enraged.

The giant panda suddenly stood up from the chair, the bottles and jars on its waist clashing against the swords, making a clanging sound.
