I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Isn't it unsafe for you to travel alone on the Red Line?"

Sieg took a few steps forward and caught up with Tengetsu, then earnestly said:

"Once things are settled in my holy land, it's not impossible for me to take you to Wano Country in the future, but it may take a long time."

"Really?" Tian Yueshi turned around in surprise, but the surprise quickly faded.

"No, it's better not to."

"It's really not safe for a girl like you to be alone..."

Thank you for your kindness.

“I’m familiar with Wano Country.” Sig thought for a moment and took out a broken sword from his inventory.

"This sword was given to me by a swordsmith from the Shimotsuki family, although it was recently broken..."

"I...I don't know anything about swords, nor do I know anyone from the Shimotsuki family."

Seeing Sieg pressing closer and closer, and even conjuring up a broken sword, Tengetsu's vigilance grew stronger.

In the end, as if she had made some kind of decision, her figure dimmed on the spot and disappeared into the air without a trace.

"Disappeared?"

Roger, who was tending to his injuries, looked up and was shocked again.

He only saw Sig standing there with some disappointment, while Tianyue had already disappeared. Sig's figure in the setting sun carried a slightly desolate air.

"What a pity," Roger sighed inwardly.

"Wang Xige is too impatient. It seems there is still a long way to go to correct his sexual fetishes."

Sieg frowned. Seeing Tianyue Shi leave, he also noticed that Tianyue Shi's wariness had increased even more than before.

Was I too hasty? Did I make her wary?

Suddenly, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

"Wang Xige, don't be discouraged. I'll introduce you to someone even better later," Roger comforted her.

Sieg's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything. He simply mounted his horse quickly and resumed his journey.

...........

Time passed, and Sieg and his companions rode their horses for more than a month before finally arriving at the third treasure location indicated by the treasure map.

This is a deep, natural cave nestled among mountains, far from human habitation, and much more desolate than other places.

Soter emerged from the depths of the cave, overjoyed, with two pieces of gold ore in his hand.

"It's true! There really is a gold mine deep inside this cave! And a lot of it!"

"However, I did not go any deeper."

Roger reached out and took a piece of gold ore, weighed it in his hand, and raised an eyebrow.

"Interesting, Wang Xige. Is this the third treasure you're planning to leave behind? It's actually a gold mine?"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what your next treasure will be..."

Sieg nodded as he buried a small box with a note on it in the soil in front of the cave.

That's all.

Sieg said calmly.

He saw the system notification appear before his eyes again, and the power of cause and effect expanded and grew stronger once more.

"I remember you said before that you had a total of five treasures? Is this the end of the story?" Roger asked again.

Sieg nodded:

"You should stop here. The journey ahead is quite dangerous."

He looked up and gazed at a distant mountain peak that seemed to reach almost into the clouds.

That is the highest peak of the Red Earth, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, which soars into the clouds like a fairyland inhabited by the gods.

Beneath the sacred ground, numerous towns and cities are scattered around the foot of the mountain, far more prosperous than other parts of the Red Earth Continent.

"Mary Geoise, the holy land inhabited by the Celestial Dragons..."

Roger's expression also turned serious:

"You said you were going to the Holy Land, but it turns out you weren't going to sneak in from there..."

"Wait, could the next treasure be related to the Holy Land?"

Halfway through his sentence, Roger's smile gradually broadened:

"This is such an interesting thing, and you don't want to include me?"

Chapter 628 I Will Not Die

To date, three treasures from Anotherpiece have been buried.

Only the fourth one remains, along with the true treasure of the "Final Mountain".

Leaving aside what the true treasure of the final mountain is, this remaining fourth treasure reminds Sig of what happened when he first arrived in Loguetown.

Initially, the Another Piece treasure attracted so many people because it was related to the theft of the treasure vault of the Celestial Dragons Charlmaco Saint Family.

Therefore.

Sieg then made the Holy Land of Mary Geoise the final stop on his journey across the Red Earth.

Infiltrating a holy site is certainly dangerous.

However, in this era, as long as the power of cause and effect is sufficient, Sig can have the ability to resurrect, which has greatly reduced the tension in Sig's heart.

And Roger...

"You should leave, Roger."

Sieg stated frankly:

"The Holy Land of Mary Geoise is too early for you."

"You should go back to the East Blue, or to the Grand Line, get back on track, and become a pirate."

Roger's injuries had long since healed, and Sieg had no intention of taking Roger into the Holy Land.

If Roger had died prematurely, the subsequent impact on Siegfried would have been unimaginable.

These blunt words immediately wiped the smile off Roger's face.

Along his journey with Sieg, he encountered rivals such as Rum the panda, already quite famous in the East Blue, and Charlotte Linlin, who was born invulnerable to swords and bullets...

As for the others, Salt Emperor Sot is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and Sun Warrior Tobiki Tadashi is not particularly strong in terms of individual strength, but his moves are unpredictable and difficult to counter, allowing him to defeat stronger opponents despite being weaker.

"Not just the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

"Even the Grand Line is too early for me. I was too hasty."

Roger gradually calmed down.

Ultimately, he didn't have much sailing experience. If one person and one ship were to venture onto the Grand Line, there was a high chance that they would crash and sink against the walls of the Reverse Mountain.

The three left the mountains where the gold mine was located.

Sieg ignored Roger and turned his gaze to Soter.

“Your journey ends here.” Sieg reached into his robes and pulled out a…hypnotic ring.

Roger may not care about the treasure on the Red Line, but the scavengers on the Red Line might not.

If the treasure is revealed prematurely, then everything Sieg has done before will be meaningless.

“Listen carefully, when I mention 1.2.BINGO, you will forget any information related to anotherpiece….”

The hypnotic ring swayed in front of Soter's eyes, and his gaze gradually lost focus.

"BINGO!"

At the moment the hypnosis was achieved, both Sig and Soter had a moment of dazedness in their eyes, followed by a blank expression.

However, Sieg then discovered that he was holding a small note in his hand. After taking a closer look, he roughly understood what had happened.

"It's time to leave."

Sieg pulled Roger off his horse, leaving Soter behind, and rode away into the distance.

Soter was left sitting blankly on his horse.

"That's strange. Why did I follow two bandits all the way from Upside Down Mountain to here?"

"What are they here for? And what am I here for?"

Soter looked down and found that he was holding a piece of gold ore in his hand, and his eyes immediately lit up with joy.

Not only were his hands bulging, but his personal bag was also overflowing with gold ore...

"I've struck it rich..."

Soter's hands were full of gold, and a smile appeared on his lips, but for some reason, he felt a little empty inside.

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

The red earth continent is an insurmountable barrier.

Throughout history, only the fishman adventurer Fisher Tiger has ever free-climbed the Red Line.

However, crossing the red earth continent only requires physical strength and time for Sieg, who has the ability to walk in the air; it is not difficult.

Instead of trying to bypass the heavily guarded trade routes of the World Government, Sig spent most of the day directly capturing Roger and dumping him on a small island in the East Blue, on the edge of the Red Line.

Let's stop here.

“We both have our own journeys to take, and we should have gone our separate ways long ago,” Sieg said calmly.

Sieg turned his back and once again stepped into the void, as if climbing a transparent staircase, leaving Roger with only his back view.

"Are you really prepared to infiltrate the Holy Land of Mary Geoise alone?" Roger asked, watching Sieg's departing figure.

Sieg paused slightly, stopped, and glanced back at Roger:
