I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

As we all know, the appearance of sea monsters in this world is quite random; they are basically enlarged versions of a mix of land and sea creatures.

This giant sea serpent-like creature resembles a sea serpent, but it is not entirely the same. For example, on the top of its head, it has a bunch of long, bony horns.

So Sieg commanded the giant serpent sea king to approach the two ships, and then had the two giants take out ropes to fix the two ships to the two horns on the top of the giant serpent sea king's head.

While the giants were working, the giant serpent sea kings appeared rather listless and dispirited.

Sig left a long, narrow wound on its abdomen. Although he held back, the injury was neither too serious nor too minor, but it was still a moderate injury relative to the giant snake's enormous size.

At this moment, blood was still gushing out like a tide, turning the surrounding seawater red.

Besides blood, other things gradually came out of the wound in the abdomen.

There are the remains and skeletons of various fish and even sea monsters, as well as some broken templates, masts, and even a ship that is half-corroded.

"It seems this snake demon... this sea king has even eaten ships. I wonder if it attacked any passing pirate ships?"

Sieg thought to himself casually.

Pirates on the surface of the sea often find it difficult to unleash their full power in the deep sea, especially those with special abilities.

This sea king doesn't need to defeat the pirates. Once the coating covering the pirate ship is broken, most of the pirates in the deep sea will just be its prey.

Suddenly, Sieg's gaze sharpened. He saw a figure emerging from between the broken planks protruding from the wound.

Chapter 672 Reunion After Traveling Through Time

"Is there someone inside the sea king's belly? Which unlucky soul is it?"

Sig looked up and gazed at the figure submerged in the blood-red seawater.

The figure appeared to be drowning, its hands and feet struggling and flailing in the seawater, clearly indicating it couldn't swim.

"Someone who has sailed to the deep sea near Fishman Island can't swim. He must be an ability user."

A thought struck Sieg. He once again stepped out of the coating, the black flames on the soles of his feet scorching the surrounding seawater. He ran swiftly through the deep sea and soon entered the blood-red area of ​​water.

His vision was filled with a blood-red color, and with the dim light of the deep sea, Sieg couldn't make out the face of the person who had come, only that she was vaguely a woman. He quickly swam over and grabbed the woman's waist with one hand.

The woman struggled even more fiercely at this grab, swatting at Sieg with both hands and feet.

This is actually a subconscious struggling reaction of a drowning person. There have been cases where drowning people have instinctively struggled when being rescued, needlessly exhausting the rescuer's energy, and ultimately both the drowning person and the rescuer have died.

Sieg had already anticipated this. He used even more force, gripping the drowning woman's waist with one hand and holding her hands firmly with the other like an iron hoop. Then, stepping on the black flames, he swam towards the boat.

Fat Tiger Card possesses the "Fat Tiger Power," which can grant Sigurd a maximum strength of six tons.

Although Sigurd's compatibility with the Fat Tiger card was not yet full, with the three months of naval training he had received, his strength was already several tons, far exceeding that of ordinary people, so subduing this woman was naturally no problem.

Sig carried the woman back to his pirate ship. After entering the coating, he was about to call for medical personnel to come and help, but when he saw the woman's face, he was stunned for a moment.

When is the moon and sky in time?

At this moment, Tianyue Shi looked extremely disheveled, completely soaked, with water constantly dripping from his clothes, and his wet hair clinging tightly to his skin.

After coughing several times, she finally came to her senses and looked at Sig in front of her.

“It’s you again, Wang Xige.” Tian Yueshi’s eyes lit up.

She glanced around briefly, then looked at the scratches on Sieg's wrists and neck, and felt a little ashamed.

"Looks like you saved me again," Tenzuki Toki thought.

"Uh...."

Now Sieg was in a bit of a predicament; he didn't know how to face Tengetsu.

When they first met Amagi Toki, Higuma took the initiative to approach her, intending to change her fate. He claimed that he would take her to Wano Country, but this only aroused Amagi Toki's suspicion, and she used the power of the Time-Time Fruit to leave.

If approaching her out of kindness isn't enough, then what attitude should he adopt towards her?

Sig's hesitation was noticed by Amaterasu. She seemed to understand something, but a trace of loneliness flashed quickly across her eyes.

"That's right, you probably don't remember me anymore."

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Tianyue Shi. Thank you for saving me."

When Tengetsu stood up from the deck, he bowed slightly to Sieg in thanks, and water droplets splashed all over Sieg.

Sieg frowned slightly, wiping the water droplets from his face, and keenly noticed the strange words in Tengetsu's words:

“I shouldn’t remember you? What does that mean?” Sig asked directly.

Although their previous encounter on the Red Line was brief, it was not an unforgettable event for either of them.

After all, Toki used the Time-Time Fruit's power to escape right under Sieg's nose. Not to mention Sieg, no one else would easily forget such a thing, even after six years.

"I'm sorry, I didn't explain things clearly..."

Tengetsu apologized again, then looked directly into Sieg's eyes and read:

"Actually, we met at another 'point in time'."

In this sentence, the word "time point" was pronounced a little too heavily.

As he spoke, Amatsuki looked directly into Sig’s eyes, as if observing his reaction.

But this little trick was completely useless against the expressionless actor Sieg. Sieg remained calm, showing no surprise whatsoever and revealing no hint of his inner thoughts, which left Amatsuki slightly disappointed.

"Is that so?" Sig's doubts deepened, so he simply went along with what Tenzuki said and pretended to be puzzled.

“Mr. Wang Xige, we have indeed met before, about five or six years ago. You saved me back then, and I’ve always wanted to thank you in person. Now I’ve finally met you.”

Tian Yue hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched the air in front of her. Ripples appeared in the air, as if a mirror had appeared out of thin air, and the images inside the mirror changed continuously.

Amatsuki explained, "Actually, I am a memory person who ate the Memory Fruit, which allows me to materialize my memories into images and replay them."

"This is the scene when we met five or six years ago in a bar in a small town on the Red Earth."

Finally, the mirror image shows Sig and young Roger sitting side by side at the bar counter, with Sig holding a wanted poster and Toki standing next to him.

"Memory Fruit?" Sigurd's face showed just the right amount of surprise:

"I've never heard of such a thing before. It's truly an amazing Devil Fruit ability."

"But looking at it this way, it seems I really did run into you on the Red Line five or six years ago..."

Sieg pondered for a while, then finally gave an apologetic smile:

"Sorry, it's been a long time, I really can't remember."

“It’s not a big deal if I can’t remember.” Tian Yueshi nodded thoughtfully. He first looked around and saw that the crew members around him were staring at her curiously. A thought also came to his mind.

"Mr. Wang Xige, I have something important I'd like to discuss with you privately. Is that alright?"

Tianyue smiled:

"We haven't reached an agreement on what happened last time, so please take responsibility, Mr. Wang Xige."

Sig looked at the moon in front of him and pondered for a moment.

Although Amatsuki Toki's abilities are powerful, she herself is not a strong person.

Although Sieg didn't understand what Amatsuki was planning, even if they spent time together in private, Amatsuki shouldn't pose any danger to him.

So Sieg nodded:

"Then come to my room... I mean, the captain's cabin."

“But before that,” Sieg turned to the crew members watching the scene, “you take her to change into some dry clothes first.”

Chapter 673 The Traveler Beyond Time

After Sieg gave the order, some crew members nodded in agreement, but at the same time, they also perked up their ears and became alert.

This plot is so clichéd. It's basically about Wang Xige saving a woman he knew from before, then pretending to have amnesia, only to be pressured by her to rekindle their relationship, and then Wang Xige just going along with it...

"Damn it, just who was Lord Wang Xige before? He can just go out to sea and run into women he knows at a depth of 10,000 meters..."

As soon as Sig and Tengetsu walked away, gossip and chatter gradually began to rise.

Dracula coughed lightly, silencing the murmurs, but there was no smile on his face.

The Tianyue era at this time is different from when they first met on the Red Earth Continent.

Dracula knew that Toki Amatsuki wasn't a user of the Memory Fruit, and that her request to spend time with Sig in private must have had its own ulterior motives.

"Things feel like they're getting complicated."

Dracula frowned. He was about to order the crew to continue working when he suddenly felt a jolt, and the hairs on his body stood on end, as if he were being watched by some ferocious beast that was ready to devour him.

He turned to look at the dark seabed beside him, but found nothing.

"Could it be that it's being targeted by other sea kings?"

"Never mind, sea kings aren't that important..."

Dracula didn't take it to heart and went into the cabin.

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

In the shallower, deeper areas of the sea.

Charlotte Linlin continued to use her Observation Haki to spy on the distant seabed below.

Her Observation Haki grants her the ability to see far, and she witnessed the scene where Sigmund cut open the Sea King's abdomen and then rescued her by holding her waist.

Observation Haki can sharpen the five senses, enhancing vision or hearing. For example, Koby in later generations was able to use Observation Haki for eavesdropping and intelligence work.

Charlotte Linlin, though separated by a great distance, overheard snippets of their conversation.

She didn't hear everything clearly, only observing that Sieg and Amaterasu were chatting when they went into their cabin...

"We can't see or hear anything, it's all blocked by the cabin... What are those two doing in the room?"

The distance between them was quite far, and she could only vaguely see Sig and roughly hear the conversation between the two on the deck, which was already the limit.

Charlotte Lingling gradually became agitated. She couldn't help but clench her fists, and the joy she had shown earlier had cooled down.

"Could it be that those two are... having a secret tea party together in their room?"

"What kind of desserts would they eat at a tea party? Caramel puffs? Cream pudding?"

"Wang Xige has never had a tea party with me before..."
