I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Although the navy suffered heavy losses this time, the intelligence it obtained was extremely important.

The marshal nodded and said, "You did very well, Iron... Kewell."

"Your rank as a major general is still too low. Keep up the good work."

From that day forward, a highly important classified file appeared in the Navy.

The Dragon King of the Ancient Island

...........

In the New World, at the lair of the Rocks Pirates, lies Beehive Island.

Rocks sat in his room, staring absently at a glass bottle on the table.

Inside the glass bottle was a small patch of grayish-white embers.

"Captain Rocks," the pirate beside him said.

"The Navy is deliberately spreading rumors that... there's been a serious internal conflict within our Rocks Pirates."

"Charlotte Linlin killed our first mate, King Hig! This tarnishes the reputation that our Rocks Pirates have just established!"

"I see, you go down."

Rocks remained calm and waved the pirate away.

"Wang Xige...did I misjudge him? He died so easily..."

Lox stared blankly at the ashes in the glass bottle.

But a few seconds later, his door was knocked on again, and a burly man over six meters tall squeezed in.

“It’s you, Newgate.”

“Captain Rocks, Charlotte Linlin is back. Deal with this guy who killed the first mate…” Newgate’s gaze fell on the ashes of Sig’s Vivre Card in the glass bottle, and his words came to an abrupt halt.

“I know.” Lox turned to look at Newgate.

“Newgate, if you can, you can go and kill her.”

Newgate was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting such an answer from Lox.

"Outsiders say that the members of my Rocks Pirates are killing each other. Isn't that obvious?"

Rocks turned to look at Newgate:

"This ocean ultimately belongs to the strong. The fact that Wang Xige died at the hands of Charlotte Linlin shows that he was not strong enough either."

"Wang Xige is a pirate."

"It is only natural for pirates to die at the hands of other pirates."

"Wang Xige was unable to implement his strategic plan for the first half of the Grand Line because he was all talk and no action and lacked the strength."

“Newgate, you can go fight Charlotte Linlin, but don’t even think about such stupid ideas as avenging Wong Sieg.”

"A pirate is a pirate."

"We're not like the disgustingly loving family of the Navy; pirates don't do that."

Lox remained calm as he stared at Newgate for a long time.

"That's all. Is there anything else?"

Newgate lowered his eyelids, turned around, and left silently without saying another word.

The Rocks Pirates were completely opposite to the pirate crew of his dreams...

Chapter 692 Dracula's Last Will

The death of King Higash, the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates, was deliberately spread by the Navy, which dealt a blow to the Rocks Pirates' arrogance.

However, the vacant vice-captain position also attracted the covetous eyes of many more powerful pirates.

As time went by, the Rocks Pirates grew stronger and stronger, becoming virtually unstoppable in the New World.

And Lox D. Gibbek began to earn the title of "Sea King".

In this dark age, Rocks was the uncrowned king of this sea.

Until the Roger Pirates entered the New World.

In the following years, the Roger Pirates fought against the Rocks Pirates many times and escaped unscathed each time, thus beginning to enjoy a great reputation on the Grand Line.

Led by the Roger Pirates, a new generation of great pirates gradually emerged in the New World.

This era is called Locus, but a new storm has already begun...

..........

Time flies.

On a deserted island in the Grand Line.

The space distorted slightly, and two figures gradually darkened, finally appearing on the island.

These were Sig and Toki, who had just traveled through time.

...This time, they narrowly escaped death.

Sig turned around and glanced at Tengetsu.

This time travel was not initiated by Sig through the "Original Hero," but by the Time Fruit ability of Amezuki Toki.

The timing of Tianyue Shi's activation of the Time-Time Fruit was just a moment before Charlotte Linlin hit them, which was unexpected by Sieg, but upon closer reflection, it wasn't a bad deal.

Each time Sieg travels through time, it consumes one unit of causal power, which he needs to cover up once to make up for.

However, Devil Fruit abilities do not have this limitation. They can be activated as long as physical strength is consumed. If used too much, at most you will be panting and exhausted all day like Law, but it's not a big deal.

With Tianyue's help, this saves one unit of causal power.

Sieg glanced around and frowned.

"Is this not that ancient island?"

The ancient island was covered with tall, primeval jungles, but the vegetation and landscape of the island in front of us were clearly different.

This time travel seems to involve not only time travel, but also changes in spatial location.

Tianyue explained:

"My Time-Time Fruit ability doesn't allow me to travel freely at will."

"I'm not yet proficient at time travel at fixed points in time; I need some time to prepare."

"The incident happened so suddenly that I could only attempt uncertain time travel... The possibility of changing locations does occasionally occur."

After listening to Tianyue finish speaking, Sig suddenly had a bad feeling:

"So, you don't even know what year it is or which island it is?"

Tengetsu turned her head to the side and nodded slightly, a little embarrassed.

"alright."

Sieg sighed softly, then opened the system screen, and several system prompts immediately appeared in front of him.

"Interfered with the fate of the characters, the giant Casey and the giant Oimo, consuming 0.5 units of causal power."

"Interfered with the fate of the characters Dorry and Brogy, consuming 1 unit of causal power."

Casey and Oimo's original fate was to become the gatekeepers of Enies Lobby and live a shameless life for 50 years, but they were interfered with by Sieg and successfully arrived at the Ancient Island.

The conflict between Dorry and Brogy, which was originally set to last another 50 years, was also halted due to Seager's ruling.

These dramatic changes in individual destinies require a certain force of cause and effect to alter them.

Sig's original causal power was about 3 units. After interfering with the story of the four giants, he consumed half of his original power.

But it wasn't without its gains.

"Causal connection: Year 1 of Dracula, achieved."

"The causal connection has been achieved: the authority of the gods has fallen to the mortal realm."

With the addition of a previously read clue, "The Legend of the Dragon King," Sig's current causal power has reached 4.5 units, equivalent to successfully covering up four or five lies.

Upon seeing these two lines of prompts, Sieg suddenly remembered something.

"Oh right, I forgot about the shadow clone. He didn't come along... I wonder how many years have passed in the outside world, and where this place is...."

Following that, Sig and Toki spent a few hours on the island, conducting a simple search.

This island is uninhabited and rather desolate. Although it has a large area of ​​forests and grasslands, wild animals are relatively scarce.

Several hours later, Sieg still couldn't determine his location.

However, he was not in a hurry. With the ability to walk in the air and summon the Dragon King, leaving the island was not difficult for him.

goooo~

Feeling hungry, Sieg then prepared to take out the large meat sticks stored in his inventory.

But as soon as he opened the inventory, his gaze sharpened.

The items in his inventory were completely different from what he remembered.

The supply of large pieces of meat has decreased significantly, but a lot of miscellaneous items have increased.

In the most conspicuous place in the inventory, there was a note.

"Was it left behind by Dracula?"

Sieg pondered for a moment, and then he understood.

The shadow clone can inherit some of his abilities, and the only person who can access his inventory is Dracula's shadow clone.

"The items in my inventory have changed quite a bit. It seems like a lot of time has passed in the outside world."

Sieg took the note out of his inventory, unfolded it in his hand, and began to read it carefully.

He was slightly startled when he first saw it.

"I am Dracula. By the time you see this, I am already dead."
