I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Edge of Scarborough Island.

Rocks' pirate fleet anchored at the island's port but did not set sail again for a long time.

Lox looked at the glass vial of life cards in his hand.

The life card inside the glass bottle was still drifting in a fixed direction, but its drifting speed was slightly stronger than in the previous days.

This shows that...

“The life card is floating faster, the attraction is getting stronger, and Wang Xige seems to be getting closer to us.”

Lockes felt a little relieved.

The fragments of the Life Card, regardless of size, are attracted to each other.

This shows that although Wang Xige had been living in anonymity for 12 years, he was indeed actively moving closer to them at this time.

Just then, Lockes heard a loud shout.

"I smell delicious food..."

He turned his head and saw Big Mom gazing longingly towards the island market. She immediately summoned Zeus the thundercloud and flew towards the shore on a cloud.

"This guy..."

"What a troublesome woman..."

The other pirates frowned and watched coldly, but no one spoke up to stop them.

Big Mom is an extremely willful and obsessive character, especially when it comes to food, but she is also incredibly strong, and ordinary pirates really can't stop her.

Seeing Rocks approach, Longbread sighed softly, about to explain, but was interrupted by Rocks waving his hand:

"Forget it, let her go. Let's rest on this island for now, buy some supplies, and wait quietly."

"Lox spoke up."

Pirates have their own rules, and even the Rocks Pirates, who have already earned the title of overlords, are no exception.

If everything is obtained through plunder, then they will have no money to spend, and no one will want to do business with them anymore.

In fact, most pirates are like this: they strike hard against civilians and caravans, and then use the stolen money to trade with high-ranking officials of various countries and kings of the underworld to obtain resources.

With Rocks speaking up, most of the pirates naturally went ashore to seek their own pleasures.

Rocks himself leaned against the ship's railing, staring silently at the glass bottle of life card in his hand.

........

Meanwhile, in the market on the island.

BIGMOM charged headlong into the island's snack shops and began to feast.

The long bread followed her at a distance, but instead of going inside with her, it ran into the tavern next door, ordered itself a drink, and occasionally listened to the commotion at the pastry shop next door.

"Lingling is getting more and more willful."

The long bread sighed softly.

He didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching the commotion from the shadows.

Scarborough Island is a chaotic place, and as a member of CP0, she had just been ordered by the World Government to cultivate her influence there...

Stussy stood quietly in the corner. She saw Charlotte Linlin feasting in the pastry shop and suddenly recalled that drunken conversation on Fishman Island 12 years ago.

"Let's skip it this time," Stussy shook his head.

It's not just because the last time we had a drunken conversation was a terrible experience.

Even though she didn't know the details, she could sense the changes in Charlotte Linlin over the past 12 years.

This time, she did not approach them, but instead reported to CP0 officials via Den Den Mushi.

Soon, news that the Rocks Pirates had arrived at Scarborough Island was relayed to the Navy via CP0.

......

after a while.

In the nearshore area, Roger's pirate ship, the Oro Jackson, gradually approached the island.

Sieg wasn't on deck; he was in his cabin, continuing to peruse Dracula's will.

"The Panda Head Dragon King Card is very special; there's a big secret behind it. But I went through so much trouble to figure it out, and I feel like I'm losing out by telling you so simply..."

"Anyway, since you're me, what's done is done. It's only a matter of time before you figure it out, and if you don't, I won't force it..."

Upon reading this, Sieg couldn't help but clench the suicide note into a tight ball and throw it forcefully to the ground.

But after a moment, he could only sigh and pick up the crumpled paper again.

He couldn't help but feel a little angry.

In fact, the shadow clone is the same person as him. Given the hints, it's only a matter of time before he figures out the answer to the question.

So what is Dracula trying to express?

Could it be that during those 12 years, he already knew that the Dragon King was female, could transform into human form, and possessed some great secret...?

"Is it a Dragon King's spell? Besides summoning wind and rain, could she also summon 84 disinfectant?" Sigurd wondered.

After much deliberation, Sieg finally decided to discuss the secret with the Dragon King in person.

It has been about a week since we sailed from the final island to here. Sig's cooldown time is over, and he can ride the dragon again at any time.

But at that moment...

boom!

A sound came from outside the door, and the sound of the surrounding waves was as loud as thunder, causing the pirate ship to rock violently in the wind and rain.

"Aren't we almost at Scarborough Island? How come there are such big waves?"

Sieg felt a jolt; he realized something was wrong.

He pushed open the door and looked outside.

Before we knew it, it was already dark.

There weren't many large dark clouds in the sky, but a dense darkness was gradually surging in along the coast of the island like a tide.

In the deep darkness, Sieg heard a whisper.

"It's really you."

Rocks stood on the deck of the pirate ship in the distance, holding a glass bottle of Vivre Cards in one hand, gazing at Sig from afar.

“How interesting, my first mate.”

Lox's eyes were as deep as an abyss, and no obvious emotional fluctuations could be seen in his dark eyes.

"You actually joined the Roger Pirates..."

"Rocks!"

A shout suddenly rang out.

Rocks' gaze shifted, passing over Sig and landing on Roger.

Roger's lips curled slightly, causing his mustache to twitch. He gripped his sword in one hand and grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

Behind him, Rayleigh pushed up his glasses and had already drawn his sword.

Jabba silently tied his long hair into a neat ponytail at the back of his head and picked up two battle axes in his hands.

"Lox," Roger laughed loudly.

"You read that right, your first mate is on my ship. If you want him, come and take him!"

After saying that, Roger directed the pirate ship to dock towards the shore, and at the same time, they leaped high onto the shore in perfect unison.

"How interesting. It's been years. Do you dare to challenge me now?"

Rocks' attention was now drawn to Roger, and he leaped into the air, causing the surging black tide to surge forward.

Chapter 704 Everyone Loves Roger

On the beach.

Behind Rocks was a surging black tide, facing Roger and his two companions from afar.

During those 12 years, Rocks and Roger fought more than once.

When Roger entered the New World, Rocks had already begun to enjoy great fame there, so the two were not equal in terms of reputation.

In a sense, one could even say that Rocks was Roger's first and strongest enemy in the true sense.

Upon seeing Roger, Rocks grinned, a rare occurrence. Thick darkness swirled like flames across his disheveled black hair, burning like fire, his fighting spirit almost boiling over.

"Was the last time you escaped from me three years ago? Four years ago?"

"Are you mentally prepared to flee again, Luo---"

Lox was laughing halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by two shouts.

Roger!

"Roger!!"

The shouts of the Golden Lion and the Whitebeard rang out simultaneously!

A figure clad in a golden kimono floated through the air like a ghost and landed in front of Roger, wielding two swords that brought down with a fierce wind pressure!

Roger raised his sword to block, unleashing a powerful burst of energy, but the sand beneath his feet could not withstand the force, and his feet sank deep into the sand.

The figure that launched the surprise attack was none other than Golden Lion.

While Rocks was making threats, he seized the opportunity and used his speed advantage to insert himself between Roger and Rocks.

Whitebeard, holding his naginata, stood a few steps behind with a hint of regret.

"Did the Golden Lion beat them to it?"

Now that the two sides had already clashed, Whitebeard had no choice but to sheathe his sword and stand still.

Given his pride, he wouldn't do something like two people ganging up on one person.
