I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

In such turbulent currents, maintaining a firm grip on the ship's direction and avoiding being swept away by the high-speed current and smashed to pieces against the mountainside is no easy task.

But Sieg performed unexpectedly well; not only did it not crash into the mountainside, but even in the turbulent water, the small boat remained remarkably stable.

"There are actually such bandits in the world."

Roger couldn't help but admire it.

Sig still looks like he's in his twenties, but he's also an expert bartender, a skilled helmsman, and someone who has sailed the Grand Line.

This man, however, was a "mountain bandit".

This even sparked Roger's intense curiosity about the profession of mountain bandit.

As Luo Jie ascended to heaven, the ship's height increased, and it was about to reach the summit of Upside Down Mountain.

"It's time to part ways."

Roger's gaze sharpened slightly.

Sig is a mountain bandit, while he is a sea pirate; both have their own paths to follow.

Roger crouched down, took a bottle from the storage box, poured two glasses, and walked over to Sieg.

"Wang Xige, we're almost at the top of the mountain, aren't we?"

Roger smiled.

"Let's have a drink when we part ways."

Sig, who was holding the helm, paused for a moment, then said irritably:

"I'm at the helm. In a rapid like Upside Down Mountain, even the slightest carelessness could be fatal. And you still want to drink with me?"

“Aren’t you very experienced at sea? How could you possibly capsize? At worst, we can just drink water instead of alcohol.” Roger brought over another glass of water.

"That's true."

Sieg took the helm with one hand and took the water glass from Roger's hand with the other.

If it were a formal farewell, he should have gotten drunk with Roger, but now is clearly not the time.

Roger, holding his wine glass, gazed at the ocean current before him and asked:

"Wang Xige, do you still remember our promise at the tavern in Loguetown?"

Sieg raised an eyebrow and nodded.

They had once made a promise that after Roger had traveled around the world, they would reunite in Loguetown, and Sieg would make Roger another Angel's Kiss.

Roger continued, "It is said that at the end of the Grand Line, there exists a final island, and on this island lies a great treasure..."

"But in the end, it's just a legend that's hard to tell if it's true or not. Because no one has ever been able to reach that island, and no one even knows its name or location."

"If I want to conquer the Grand Line, I must reach this legendary final island..."

Sieg nodded:

"If you can accomplish such a feat, then you will surpass all pirates and become the king of pirates."

At this point, Sieg smiled faintly:

"Perhaps, when we meet again, you will be... the Pirate King Gol D. Roger."

"The Pirate King?" Roger was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but grin from ear to ear:

“That sounds interesting. And what about you, Wang Xige?”

"When we meet again, what should I call you? Tavern King? Or...?"

"Mountain Bandit King." Roger said, looking directly into Sig's eyes with a smile.

This title made Sieg momentarily dazed.

He never imagined he would hear such a title from the Pirate King.

“I will conquer the Grand Line, and what about you? Wang Xige, don’t tell me you just want to keep running a tavern in Loguetown.”

Roger looked directly into Sieg's eyes and grinned broadly:

You can't fool me.

At the summit of Upside Down Mountain, the ocean currents remain turbulent, with raging torrents surging and crashing. Four currents from the four seas collide with each other, shattering waves and creating thunderous sounds atop the red earth mountain.

Amidst the clamor of the waves, a surge of heroic spirit suddenly welled up within Sieg.

Seeing Roger's wide grin that stretched to his ears, Siegfried's usually impassive face couldn't help but curl into a smile as well.

“If you want to conquer the Grand Line, then I will conquer the Red Line,” Sieg said.

Amidst the thunderous roar of the raging tide.

Sieg and Roger raised their glasses and clinked them together, exchanging a smile.

"Goodbye, Pirate King Gol D. Roger."

"Goodbye, King of the Mountain Bandits, Wang Xige."

King of Bandits, Wang Xige?

Sig's smile was slightly stiff.

The strange name has gotten even longer...

At that moment, he heard other strange sounds mixed in with the thunderous roar of the waves, seemingly... human voices?

While Sieg and Roger were not paying attention.

On the side of the Hokkaido, a large pirate ship appeared. Taking advantage of the current, it actually took off and pressed down on Roger's small boat!

"A ship collision? It was a pirate ship from the North Sea? What a coincidence?"

These two ships actually reached the top of Reverse Mountain at the same time and headed towards the entrance seaway to the Grand Line!

"Oops!"

This happened so suddenly that neither side had time to react before the two ships collided violently!

boom!

Roger's small sailboat was almost immediately overturned and collapsed by the large pirate ship, without even a moment of stalemate.

Immediately afterwards, the large ship sailed downstream, heading without hesitation towards the sea route leading to the Twin Capes of the Grand Line.

On the top of the upside-down mountain.

The ocean currents continued to surge and churn, leaving only a few broken pieces of wood on the turbulent sea, swept away rapidly by the currents.

Chapter 616 New Module: ass♂ass♂in

The mountaintop and the sea surface are upside down.

Amidst the surging sea, a figure enveloped in jet-black flames emerged from the water and finally stood in mid-air.

He peered down at the turbulent sea through his nostrils, only to find a few broken pieces of wood on the surface.

The small boat wasn't just capsized, it was completely smashed...

Sig glanced at the pirate ship that was rapidly disappearing into the distance, then raised his hand and slashed out with his sword.

"Universal Guidance!"

A soaking wet Roger emerged from the seawater and was finally pulled back by Siegfried, the two of them standing in mid-air.

"My boat is gone."

Roger whispered.

Neither Sieg nor Roger had time to react when the ship was hit and sunk.

Below, on the turbulent sea, the few broken pieces of wood were swept away by the current and rushed into the Twin Capes Channel.

As the saying goes, "He died before his mission was accomplished, leaving heroes to weep with sorrow."

Neither Sieg nor Roger expected that after they boarded the ship and went up Reverse Mountain, where they made a pact to drink together in high spirits, the ship was suddenly rammed and sunk.

"Relax, it's not a big deal if the boat is gone."

Sieg, holding Roger's hand, comforted him:

"Actually... if I can't get into the Grand Line, being a bandit on this Red Line isn't so bad."

Roger: ......

Sig pulled Roger along as they walked through the air, finally landing on the summit of Upside Down Mountain, gazing at the turbulent sea.

Sieg said, "Roger, you're lucky. The view from Upside Down is something that practically no one gets to see properly."

"Most of the pirates passing by are too caught by the strong currents of the Reverse Mountain to stop and appreciate the scenery."

After hearing what Sieg said, Roger seemed to feel much better.

"That's true."

Rather, the curiosity of landing on the Red Line had outweighed the frustration of failing to enter the Grand Line.

After all... for a man aspiring to be a pirate, entering the Red Line is even more difficult than entering the Grand Line.

The Red Line is very high, with an average elevation of over 1,000 meters. Only a very small number of people who have applied through the World Government are allowed to cross the Red Line.

This continent can be described as the Celestial Dragons' backyard, even more vast and mysterious than the Grand Line. Most people in the world know nothing about the Red Line.

Seeing that he had finally persuaded Roger, Sieg breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, a system light screen quickly unfolded in front of him, and a text notification appeared.

"Achievement Quest: Arrive at the Red Line to complete."

"Task Reward: You can randomly draw one duplicate card from the currently obtained card pool."

After seeing the system notification, Sig suddenly realized that he, already standing on the Upside-Down Mountain, had entered the Red Earth Continent.

Moreover, he wasn't the only one; he also brought the infamous Pirate King Roger with him to this Red Line continent.

Sig's mind stirred, and his consciousness once again entered the familiar sea of ​​stars.

As endless starlight converged, the duplicate card that appeared before Sig this time was also very familiar to him.
