I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Lox gave Sieg a deep look and nodded calmly.

Vivre Cards are a specialty of the New World. They are just ordinary pieces of paper, but they are not afraid of water or fire. They are a kind of paper that represents the life force of the owner and can be used to indicate the owner's direction.

Sieg could roughly guess what Rocks was thinking; Rocks had a backup plan.

The existence of the Vivre Card allows Lox to pinpoint Sig's location, which serves as a warning.

.......

Day two.

A small pirate ship was ready and anchored in the harbor.

Rocks, Newgate, and the others stood on the harbor shore of Beehive Island, preparing to say goodbye to Sieg.

Rocks tore the Vivre Card in his hand into two pieces, keeping the smaller piece in his hand and handing the larger piece to Sig.

"Wang Xige, since you have volunteered to go to the first half of the Grand Line, from today onwards, you will be the vice-captain of my Rocks Pirates."

"I, Lox, will also spread this news, so that this entire sea will know of your existence!"

Lockes first said this loudly.

"First mate?"

Although the pirates were surprised, upon closer examination, they found it to be plausible.

The fighting power that Sig displayed in the Battle of Raiden Isle was enough to overwhelm the combined forces of the immortal Hale and the Golden Lion Shiki. Perhaps only Captain Rocks had a chance to surpass him.

While everyone was processing the news, Lox leaned closer to Sig and whispered in his ear:

"Wang Xige, you are a member of my Rocks Pirates. I hope you won't do anything irrational in the first half of the Grand Line."

"Lox gave a calm warning."

The two parties have not known each other for very long, so there is no question of trust or distrust.

Moreover, the Rocks Pirates were not exactly a warm and harmonious pirate crew, so Rocks laid it all out straight.

Life cards are attracted to each other.

As long as Sig still has the large Life Card fragment, Lox can pinpoint his location at any time.

Of course, Sig could also simply toss the Vivre Card fragments into any corner of the ocean to escape Lox's tracking.

But this also means that Sieg will completely break ties with Lox.

Chapter 664 The Second Time Traveler

Rocks was different from ordinary pirates.

Ordinary pirates, after accomplishing something great, will just boast about it while drunk.

Rocks was different; after the Rocks Pirates were formed, his ambition continued to grow rapidly.

Rocks would actively contact both the underworld and legitimate society, publicizing his deeds to make his name increasingly famous and attract more pirates.

This time is no different.

News of King Higash, the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates, and the Rocks Pirates' defeat of Thor Lucien spread widely.

The Navy even received rumors that Wang Sieg played a pivotal role in the Battle of Raiden Island.

final...

All members of the Rocks Pirates had their bounties increased following these events, and the bounty posters were quickly printed and distributed throughout the world.

King Sig, vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates, has a bounty of 800 million.

A bounty of 300 million is offered for the stab of Dracula!

Others, such as Edward Newgate, Hale the Undead, and Shiki the Golden Lion, also had bounties, and their fame gradually grew in the early days of the Rocks era.

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

In the first half of the Grand Line, near the Sabaody Archipelago, a small boat carrying a single person is sailing on the waves.

Occasionally, when a boat passes by, the people on board will usually glance curiously in the direction of the small boat, and some frivolous sailors will even whistle.

On that small boat was a beautiful young woman with long, flowing black hair, wearing a kimono with a short skirt, and a long sword at her waist.

In the perilous waters of the Grand Line, solo voyages are extremely risky, and only a very few powerful individuals would do so.

Although the beautiful girl on the small boat had a long sword at her waist, she didn't seem to have the aura of a strong person and appeared rather weak.

This prompted some kind-hearted merchant ships passing by to approach the girl, wanting to strike up a conversation and offer her a ride.

Unexpectedly, the girl was very vigilant. As soon as she saw the merchant ship approaching, she drew her long sword and her eyes showed a wary look.

Finally, all the passing ships were driven away by the girl, and the small boat drifted on the waves.

After forcing the others back, the young girl, Tengetsu, finally relaxed a little and murmured to the sea:

"Outsiders are indeed unreliable. If I want to go to Wano Country, I'll have to find a way to go by myself."

Six years ago, Toki encountered the Sun Warrior Toki and was taken all the way to the Red Line, where he was almost handed over to the World Government.

This experience, along with Sig's overly enthusiastic advances, greatly increased Toki's wariness of strangers, and he directly used the Time-Time Fruit's power to travel five years into the future.

After a year of studying navigation, Toki Amatsuki has finally decided to set sail and try to reach Wano Country, which she has longed for, on her own.

Suddenly, birdsong filled the sky.

Looking up, I saw a newsbird flying over and circling above the small boat.

When Tianyue Shi looked up, the newsbird had finally landed at the bow of the ship, gazing longingly at Tianyue Shi.

Tian Yue glanced at the stack of wanted posters and newspapers on the Newsbird's satchel, and a thought flickered in his mind.

"Wanted posters and newspapers? These might contain important intelligence about this era; we can't skimp on this money."

After thinking for a moment, Tian Yueshi bought a newspaper and took a stack of reward notices in his hand.

The front page of the newspapers still carried the news from several days ago that the Rocks Pirates had defeated Lucien, the God of Thunder...

Tianyue Shi wasn't particularly interested in these things, but as he browsed through them, his gaze lingered on one name.

"Wang Xige?"

Toki was deeply impressed by King Higuma, who claimed to have been to Wano Country and offered to take her there.

Tenzuki's gaze finally fell on a corner of the newspaper photo, where she saw Sig's picture.

She frowned slightly and reached out a finger to gently touch Sieg in the photo.

"Wang Xige, he's become a great pirate in the new world?"

"Six years have passed... How come his appearance hasn't changed at all?"

A sense of doubt arose in Tianyue Shi's heart.

She had a deep impression of Sieg's appearance; the Sieg in her memory was exactly the same as the Sieg in the photograph, seemingly unaffected by time.

not only that.

The newspaper article describes Wang Xige as a very mysterious pirate. Despite possessing formidable strength, he was previously unknown. It was only after Rocks gathered pirates to plunder the Celestial Gold that he rose to prominence like a comet, quickly becoming the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates.

The only information related to Wang Xige's background is that he appeared in Luoge Town, East China Sea, about five or six years ago—this news is just a rumor and has not been verified.

Newspapers and media speculated that... Wang Xige was likely born in Loguetown in the East Blue, and that he entered the Grand Line in the last five or six years and has been keeping a low profile ever since.

"It's a bit strange. It's unlikely that a pirate of this caliber could completely disappear for five or six years, as if he never existed."

After reading the newspaper, Tian Yueshi then flipped through the wanted posters, but soon stopped.

The bounty poster for the Sun Warrior Tobiki came into her view.

"Has he finally been put on the wanted list?" Tengetsu murmured.

Toki had inquired about the Sun Samurai Tobiraki, but what puzzled him was that... Tobiraki had a good reputation; he was a bounty hunter who cooperated well with the Navy and had no bounty on his head.

And now, she finally saw the bounty poster for the Sun Warrior, Tobiki Tadashi.

But as she looked closely at the photo of the Sun Warrior on the bounty poster, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"The Mirror of Time".

When Tengetsu stretched out his palm and touched the air in front of him, the air rippled out like water, and a picture gradually appeared.

That was five or six years ago, in the tavern in Rolling Stone Town on the Red Line, when I met Sieg.

This is one of the techniques developed from the Time-Time Fruit, which allows one to travel back in time and recreate scenes from the memories of the Tengetsu era.

Tengetsu stared intently at Sig's face, murmuring:

"It's exactly the same as in the newspaper, without any changes..."

Finally, the scene in the Mirror of Time freezes on the moment when Sieg takes out the Sun Warrior's bounty poster.

Tianyue's pupils suddenly contracted.

The photo on the bounty poster gradually overlapped with the bounty poster for the Sun Warrior that I remembered from five or six years ago.

Exactly.

Chapter 665 A Passerby Through a Hundred Generations

With a newspaper in one hand and the Sun Warrior's bounty poster in the other, Amatsuki Toki fell into deep thought.

"At that point in time, five or six years ago, the Sun Warrior was not wanted."

"But Wang Xige produced a bounty poster that was exactly the same as the current portrait of the Sun Warrior..."

"Could he also be a user of a Time-Time Fruit, like me, capable of traveling through time?"

Tian Yueshi immediately thought of this, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem quite right.

After all, there is only one Time Fruit.

"Perhaps Wang Xige's true identity is actually related to the World Government, which is why he could easily conceal his identity for five or six years, and his joining the Rocks Pirates was also a conspiracy of the World Government."

"And the completely identical bounty list for Samurai Sun was also provided to the World Government by him, so complete consistency is not impossible."

Tenzuki quickly came up with a self-consistent explanation, but her heart was still pounding.
