I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Despite all the changes, his expression remained unchanged, his demeanor the same as always.

Although Garp was asleep, he was not like a normal person who had completely lost his vigilance towards the outside world.

Even when they are asleep, the strongest people in this world still possess the instincts of wild beasts, making them difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Just because ordinary people can't get close doesn't mean Sieg can't.

This is a powerful opponent whom Garp himself expressed his anticipation for a peak battle with, and he should not be underestimated!

Sig, who was right next to Garp, could have easily attacked while Garp was asleep, but instead, he stood still.

“Mr. Sig held back, and even hinted that I could cover my retreat safely by kidnapping Garp.”

"This is so much better than my previous plan."

The dragon was filled with admiration.

If Morgan hadn't attacked Garp, he would never have believed that this was a man capable of killing Garp with a single blow.

Strangely enough, having traveled with the Sig Mountain Bandits for most of the day, Morgan's existence had even been kept secret from all the Revolutionary Army's powerful members, including himself.

"Was that navy officer who suddenly appeared the backup plan? Or one of his backup plans? This is too suspicious."

The refugee convoy gradually sailed away, while the warships and the dragon's sailboats stood in silent confrontation.

Dragon stood on the deck, watching the fast-sleeping Vice Admiral, lost in thought.

Further out on the sea, Ah Long, a pale blue-skinned saw-toothed shark, quietly emerged from the water, watching this scene from afar.

Chapter 66 Analysis of the Warring States Period

One day later.

After waking up, Garp caused a ruckus and lost track of Dragon and Sieg's fleet, thus ending the pursuit.

The World Government, meanwhile, quickly began gathering all sorts of information about Sigurd.

Outside the ward of the Celestial Dragon Charmaco Saint at the Goa Kingdom Hospital.

World Government officials are discussing the patient's condition with the doctor.

"What? You're saying that Saint Chalmar might have just suffered a sudden cardiac arrest due to extreme shock? And there are no other obvious injuries?"

The world government officials looked at each other, their pens, which were about to be used for note-taking, suddenly stopped.

They also have to submit the relevant records to the World Government to help the Navy with information for dealing with criminals.

But how are they supposed to record this?

Just as they were struggling with their dilemma, in the ward behind them, Charles Marco, who was lying in bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"I'm fine? Just scared?"

Charmaco's face gradually darkened and twisted, but upon hearing the faint whispers outside, his ugly, fat face turned bright red with anger.

What...? This embarrassing incident of Charmaco being frightened into fainting will be filed as important information in the World Government's database?

"wrong!"

He threw off the covers, pushed open the door, and kicked the doctor outside to the ground.

"Incompetent doctor! I have pain here, pain here, and pain there, and you haven't even detected so many problems!"

Charmaco Saint stepped on the doctor, furious.

"Saint Charmaco, you're awake!"

The World Government officials exclaimed in surprise, but were met with Charmacos Saint's cold, dismissive gaze.

"You all, remember this well."

"That damned pirate, he must be an extremely dangerous and powerful monster!"

"When he attacked me from a distance, I felt an immense and terrifying force pierce through my body... If it were you lowly commoners, you would be reduced to ashes!"

"If he were a naval admiral, then he might only have a little bit of trash left."

"Do you know that? You guys!"

Charmacos roared in fury.

"clear."

"We understand."

The officials wiped their sweat, their pens still writing furiously.

.........

The World Government received similar feedback from the defeated deserters of the 77th Marine Division who were returning to port.

"Sig is a devil!"

"He's too powerful! He's never actually made a move! He's an extremely dangerous criminal! It's definitely not that our branch isn't strong enough... cough cough, don't record that last sentence."

"Especially his personality is absolutely insane! Our Colonel Calvin was deliberately angered to death by him just because he guessed his thoughts!"

"His men are a bunch of devils too, their faces... Ah! Why are you asking me about this! I don't want to remember!"

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

Marineford, Naval Headquarters, in the Admiral's office.

Marshal Kong listened to his subordinates' report with a stern face.

"Garp actually failed? Was he serious?"

Kong's brows furrowed instantly, and his mood soured.

Attacking a Celestial Dragon is no small matter, and a serious criminal capable of defeating a CP0 member is clearly no weakling.

However, the Goa Kingdom is too remote, and the Navy's true strength lies in the Grand Line.

Considering the time and distance constraints, sending Garp was the Navy's best option.

However, Kong did not expect that things would be far more complicated than he anticipated.

Garp, who was going to capture the bandit Sig, was stopped by the revolutionary Dragon.

Then Garp, who tried to attack Sig, was actually knocked to the ground and fell asleep by a single axe blow from a naval recruit—a fact Garp recounted with a laugh as he rubbed the back of his head after waking up.

"The appearance of the revolutionary Long indicates that the bandit Sig is related to the revolutionary army, and may even be a member of the revolutionary army."

He sighed deeply.

Garp's father-son relationship with Dragon is not exactly a secret to him, the Fleet Admiral.

But the other recruit who took down Garp is a much bigger problem.

Kong rubbed his temples wearily and glanced at the documents on his desk.

Among these are oral accounts from the Celestial Dragon Charl Mako, as well as operational records from the 77th Marine Division.

One of the documents contained the information of a new recruit from the Navy branch, Monka.

His resume is perfect, except he's a bit too old; he's 37 and just joined the Navy.

However, when Monka participated in the siege against the bandit Sig, his behavior with Sig seemed quite unusual.

"Sig said he wanted to recruit Monka, and claimed that once Monka was under his command, he could soon cut down a general with a single axe stroke..."

This statement alone is clearly nonsense.

But when you consider what happened afterward, it becomes terrifying to think about.

If the navy were to send either Admiral Sengoku or Admiral Zephyr this time, then this 37-year-old recruit would be facing a true naval admiral.

Will something similar happen then?

"This recruit named Monca is definitely suspicious."

"Was this something the Revolutionary Army or the bandit Sig planned all along?"

Kong tapped the table with his fingers, lost in thought.

"Maybe Garp was careless. After all, he can even fall asleep on an enemy ship."

From the seat next to him, Zhan Guoyou interjected.

After a moment of silence, Kong pushed the documents on the table toward the Warring States period.

"Sengoku. I'd like to hear your opinion, as someone known for your wisdom, on Higuma, the wanted criminal who attacked the Celestial Dragons."

This time, Higuma took action against the Celestial Dragons, directly putting pressure on the World Government. The World Government then quickly gathered all sorts of information about Higuma.

After examining the document for a while, Zhan Guo's originally relaxed expression gradually turned serious.

Goa Kingdom, Revolutionary Army, Celestial Dragons, CP0...

Following a series of events, there seems to be a faint, underlying thread running through the entire story, barely perceptible.

But when he thought about it carefully, he had no idea where to start and couldn't figure it out.

After pondering for a long time, the Warring States period began to speak:

"This incredibly mysterious Sieg seems to act very passively, even giving people the illusion that he is timid and cowardly."

"But for a dangerous criminal like him, being too perfectly disguised is actually a flaw."

What are you trying to say?

Kong sat up straighter and gradually became serious.

“He is a very dangerous and cautious man, but a man like him cannot hide his true nature.”

"No matter what he does, it always seems to have a deeper meaning, shrouded in mystery. The more you think about it, the more you realize that this person is not simple."

"That's exactly what exposed him! His schemes are definitely not simple!"

"It's as if he's always been wearing a mask, always performing, always lying in wait."

"If it weren't for his sudden high-profile attack on the Celestial Dragons, we would probably still only be able to see this illusion and continue to think of him as a bandit with a bounty of eight million!"

Zhan Guo gave a wry smile.
