I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Chapter 678 The Strategic Layout of the Rocks Pirates

Charlotte Lingling gradually calmed down and finally collapsed onto the bar's sofa.

After a long silence, Stussy stood up, walked to the street corner outside the bar, took out a Den Den Mushi, dialed a number, and reported to his superiors at CP0.

"I have obtained some important intelligence."

"The goal of King Hig, the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates, in heading to the first half of the Grand Line is to recruit potential pirates and expand the Rocks Pirates."

"Charlotte Linlin possesses Wang Sig's Vivre Card. We can find Wang Sig's location by tracking Charlotte Linlin."

"Very good, Stusi, you've done a great job this time!" The voice on the other end of the phone became serious.

This is no ordinary intelligence!

Given Charlotte Linlin's strength, she is no small figure in the Rocks Pirates, and the information obtained from her is quite reliable.

One of these two intelligence reports details the future strategic objectives of the Rocks Pirates in the first half of the Grand Line.

Another piece of information is Wang Xige's Vivre Card, which allows them to track Wang Xige and eventually arrest the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates!

After reporting those two sentences, Stussy still didn't hang up the phone. She seemed to have something else to say and hesitated for a long time.

"Sir, I have another piece of information that I'm unsure of whether it's true or not. I'm not sure if I should tell you."

“Speak,” the CP0 commander said decisively.

"Stusi, your mission is to gather intelligence. As for analyzing the authenticity of the intelligence, that's our job."

"Every word Charlotte Linlin says may contain important information."

“Alright then, I’ll say it…” Stusi then began:

"Within the Rocks Pirates, there exists another powerful female pirate whose strength is estimated to be no less than Charlotte Linlin's. She prefers to fight without clothes on and is suspected of having a deep relationship with King Higer..."

"..."

"..."

There was a long, long silence on the other end of the phone.

"Has Charlotte Linlin been drinking?"

"Never mind, we'll verify the authenticity of this information as well."

Finally, the call was disconnected.

Stussy turned around, looked at Charlotte Linlin who had already fallen asleep, and sighed softly.

"I've already taken care of that scumbag for you. I reckon the navy fleet will be here soon to kill him completely and eliminate any future trouble."

Stussy thought to himself.

...........

Day two.

When Charlotte Lingling woke up leisurely on the bar sofa, Stussy was smiling and urging her on:

"Are you awake, Lingling? It's about time we set off. We're already a day behind. If we don't leave now, we might not catch up."

"Caught up with what?" Charlotte Lingling was still a little confused.

“Of course, I’d catch up with that scumbag and kill him and that bitch together,” Stussy said with a smile.

"Huh?" Charlotte Linlin thought for a moment and said:

"That's going too far. I've thought about it, and it was just sneaking a bite, so it's forgivable."

"Forgive me?" Stussy was surprised again.

"So let's just kill the bitch. That's decided."

Charlotte Lingling said this and hurriedly returned to her own boat to prepare for departure.

Only Stusi remained standing there, completely bewildered.

She spent the whole night cursing the scumbag boyfriend with Charlotte Linlin, and drank all night... She even secretly notified CP0, and according to her prediction, the naval fleet would soon surround King Sieg and arrest him.

The next day, when I woke up, they suddenly made up unilaterally and I forgave them?

"Let's not get involved in this kind of messy stuff anymore," Stussy sighed softly.

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

Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

Several elite generals from headquarters have gathered in the conference room for a meeting.

"According to the intelligence we just received from CP0, the Rocks Pirates' ambitions far exceed our previous expectations."

"This pirate crew has only been established for a short time, yet they've already robbed the Celestial Gold and killed Lucien the Thunder God. Now they're even having a vice-captain recruit potential pirates. They've already extended their reach to the first half of the Grand Line!"

"In the name of justice, we absolutely cannot let these pirates do whatever they want!"

Several generals discussed the matter and were filled with righteous indignation.

Among them, Major General Kewell of the headquarters stood up:

"General Kong, I also have some important intelligence here."

"When we were on Resin Island, I learned some information from Casey and Oimo of the Giant Warrior Pirates: their goal was Little Garden, an ancient island in the first half of the Grand Line."

"Decades ago, both Dorry and Brogy, wanted pirates, were hiding in that little garden!"

"According to the intelligence from Fishman Island, the giant Casey and Oimo are likely in cahoots, so Wang Sig's target is very likely the ancient island of Little Garden."

"Considering Wang Xige's goals, I speculate that his aim is to recruit the giants of Elbaf into the Rocks Pirates!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the naval officers all turned serious.

The strength of the giants in Elbaf is undeniable. If this is indeed Sigurd's goal, then the danger is extremely high!

Seeing that his remarks had received a good response, Kewell continued:

"Therefore, we don't need to track Charlotte Linlin to track Wang Xige. We can set up an ambush in the small garden in advance and take care of Wang Xige first!"

"Of course, Charlotte Linlin should also send a small team to track her down."

"If Wang Xige's target is not the Little Garden, we can also change our ambush destination and capture Wang Xige by tracking Charlotte Lingling!"

His words were clear and logical, which impressed many people.

General Kong's expression was very solemn.

The Navy's power grew alongside the number of pirates. However, in this era before piracy became rampant, the Navy's troop size was constrained by the World Government...

In times when pirates are weak, the navy will also reduce its personnel and military spending.

Therefore, the Navy was caught off guard by the sudden rise of the Rocks Pirates.

Now, facing Lockes' first mate, who else can lead the fleet to ambush him?

An ordinary vice admiral might not be a match for Rocks' first mate, Wong Sieg, but an admiral like Cyborg himself has other important duties and must keep an eye on the New World, so he cannot act rashly.

At that moment, a lean lieutenant general with a mohawk stood up.

"Let me lead the fleet to the ancient island of Little Garden to set up an ambush."

"In the name of justice, I will bring Wang Xige to justice!"

The other naval commanders all turned to look:

"Is it Lieutenant General White Serpent?"

"With Lieutenant General White Snake volunteering, it seems there's nothing to worry about."

Chapter 679 Sig's Grand Ambition

Seeing that Lieutenant General White Snake had volunteered, Steel Bone Kong nodded secretly.

The difference between a vice admiral and a vice admiral is significant.

The Twelve Zodiac Elite Vice Admirals is a newly established elite vice admiral training program of the Navy, in which all members are trained to become future naval admirals.

Only powerful individuals among the Navy Vice Admirals are given the code name consisting of a color and a Chinese zodiac animal.

"The Ancient Island Little Garden is a rather special island. White Snake, don't be careless."

"The so-called ancient island has plants and animals that are still in the ancient era, with large areas of primeval jungle, and even ancient species such as dinosaurs that should have disappeared."

"In addition, the sea king species living in the waters surrounding the Ancient Island are also closer to the ancient species..."

"Therefore, on this ancient island, don't be surprised no matter what kind of ancient creatures you encounter. It's best to avoid venturing too far into the ancient island and instead defeat King Sieg in the nearshore waters using the powerful firepower of your fleet," Steelbone Kong said.

"An ancient species?" The white snake narrowed its eyes.

Among the Zoan-type Devil Fruits, there are three categories: Common Zoan, Ancient Zoan, and Mythical Zoan, each more rare than the last.

Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruits far surpass ordinary Zoan-type fruits in size and strength.

Even rarer than Logia-type Devil Fruits are Mythical Zoan-type fruits, which allow the user to transform into a Mythical Zoan creature and possess a superpower. In a sense, they are a combination of Zoan-type and Paramecia-type fruits.

The Phoenix Fruit can conjure blue healing flames, the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit allows the user to transform into another person's appearance, and the Buddha-Buddha Fruit allows the user to unleash shockwaves with their bare hands...

"understood."

Lieutenant General White Snake nodded, and then they began discussing the specific battle plan.

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

Sig didn't waste any time along the way. After surfacing, he didn't stop at any island, but headed straight for the ancient island of Little Garden, which the permanent pointer pointed to.

With the giant serpent sea king pulling the ship, Sig's ship traveled much faster, and it took about a week to reach Little Garden.

The so-called Ancient Island Little Garden is actually not small in size; it is a huge primitive island. The name "Little Garden" is only relative to the two giants on the island.

As Sig's pirate ship docked at the shore, they heard the eruption of an active volcano in the center of the distant island, spewing large amounts of lava and ash into the air with a low rumbling sound.

"The volcano has erupted again."

The giant Casey gazed at the distant volcano and explained:

"According to the agreement between the two captains, they would engage in a fair one-on-one duel every time the volcano erupted, and the survivors would be allowed to return to their homeland."

"But that was about fifty years ago. Back then, the rest of us got impatient and returned to Elbaf early. Surely they weren't still dueling, were they?"
