I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Sig immediately tried to retreat, but after only a few steps, he heard the voices of security personnel talking in the distance behind him.

At this moment, Sieg was in a corridor, with security personnel approaching from both the front and back, leaving him with almost no way to avoid them.

Sieg glanced around and his eyes fell on a room with its doors and windows tightly closed on the side of the corridor.

There was a sign hanging in front of the room.

Rum Labs.

Without hesitation, he walked over quickly and quietly, then pushed the door open, only to find that it was unlocked.

Sieg walked inside and then quickly locked the door again.

Only then did he have time to glance around the room.

Judging from the room's furnishings, it appears to be a laboratory, filled with bottles and jars, brightly lit, but unoccupied.

Sieg sniffed the air carefully, feeling a little surprised.

He thinks he smells... alcohol?

Sieg strolled over to the table, looked closely, and sure enough, saw several bottles of liquor on the table.

"What kind of laboratory would use alcohol for research? Shouldn't Vegapunk be researching the blueprints of life?"

Sieg initially found it somewhat amusing, but after examining it more closely, his expression gradually changed.

He took one of the bottles in his hand, unscrewed the cork, and sniffed it carefully a few times.

Then he opened his inventory, took out another bottle of sword wine made from brewing fruit, and sniffed it...

They smell very similar.

An idea flashed through Sieg's mind.

He thought for a moment, then gripped the bottle in his hand and gave it a slight shake, spilling a small amount of wine.

The moment the liquor spilled from the bottle, it transformed into a small, pale white sword light, which struck the laboratory wall with a soft hiss, leaving a shallow sword mark.

Sieg narrowed his eyes. He remembered the name of the laboratory at the door of the room, and a thought struck him.

"So this laboratory is also related to Rum, the user of the Brew-Brew Fruit? He ran to Vegapunk's place?"

Speaking of which, it's been a full 18 years since I last saw that chubby-faced panda Rum.

A surge of pride welled up within him, and he continued his search within the laboratory.

Not long after, he discovered something unusual again.

He found a stack of newspapers in front of a laboratory table.

This newspaper is quite old; upon closer inspection, the date shows it's from 12 years ago.

From the initial raid on the Celestial Tribute when the Rocks Pirates were founded, to the few fragments of information about the Ancient Island incident later on...

Finally, there are the new newspaper articles published in the last two days: the three-army battle on Scarborough Island, and the return of King Higuma, the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates, after 12 years...

All the major and minor events reported in the newspapers were closely related to Sieg.

This is what truly stirred up a storm in Sieg's heart.

One rum, that's fine.

The ability of the fruit to ferment is truly amazing and worth studying.

But newspapers?

This is a newspaper from 12 years ago! Who would deliberately collect newspapers from more than ten years ago, stack them with the latest newspapers, and then place them in a prominent position in the laboratory?

"Who is targeting me?"

Sig's heart skipped a beat; this unknown threat made his heartbeat quicken slightly.

At that moment, a voice came from behind Sig.

"We've finally met."

“I have been waiting for you to appear, Wang Xige.”

Looking back.

What appeared before Sieg was a young man of about twenty years old.

At that moment, Vegapunk looked at Sieg, then glanced at his watch, and smiled.

"Wang Xige, time is of the essence, so I'll get straight to the point."

“I used to think you were the same kind of person as Lox, but I was wrong.”

"You are an anomaly."

Vegapunk pointed to the newspaper on the table, his expression gradually becoming excited:

"In all my years, I have never met anyone as special as you..."

Chapter 721 The Time-Reversal Fruit (4K)

Vegapunk stared at Sig, his gaze growing increasingly intense, which gave Sig a strange feeling for a moment.

He then pointed to the newspaper on the table and said quickly:

"Eighteen years ago, you suddenly appeared in Loguetown in the East Sea. After Charlotte Linlin caused a scene in Loguetown, you left Loguetown and are suspected of dying. Since then, you have been missing."

"Twelve years ago, you suddenly appeared in the newly established Rocks Pirates. Later, you had an internal conflict with Charlotte Linlin on the ancient island and were suspected of dying. Since then, you have disappeared without a trace."

"That year, you suddenly reappeared, and this time you were once again involved with the Roger Pirates..."

"Two suspected deaths, two returns, and your face, according to Rum, hasn't changed a bit in 18 years..."

These words startled Sieg, and he could no longer remain calm.

The young man who suddenly appeared in front of him not only knew his past like the back of his hand, but also knew everything about the old events in Rogge Town 18 years ago!

Back in Rogge Town, "Wang Xige" wasn't wanted yet; he was just an ordinary hotel owner.

"So that fat panda Rum is really in Vegapunk's lab? Was it Rum who told him all this?"

Sieg's mind was starting to race.

The young man in front of me knows... far too much!

This is dangerous!

"Are these the fans who are obsessed with my looks? They even kept newspapers from over ten years ago. That's terrifying."

While Sieg was lost in thought, Vegapunk's speech became faster and faster, and his gaze grew increasingly intense, making Sieg feel uneasy.

"Wang Xige".

Vegapunk stepped forward and loudly proclaimed:

"You wouldn't happen to be the legendary user of the Time-Time Fruit, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Sieg froze.

He saw the young man in front of him staring straight at him, his eyes seemingly burning with a fierce flame, awaiting Sieg's answer.

"The Time Fruit?"

Sieg repeated the young man's question, and the latter immediately nodded.

"That's right, you must be Shi------"

Before the words were even finished!

With a swift movement, a pistol appeared in Sieg's hand. He aimed at the young man's forehead with lightning speed and pulled the trigger!

The two were only a meter or two apart, and Vegapunk, still wearing that fanatical smile, had no time to react!

boom!

The bullet whistled past, blooming a flower of blood on Vegapunk's forehead!

He was hit directly in a vital spot!

Vegapunk's body fell backward without any surprise, slumped into a pool of blood, and remained motionless.

Before falling into a complete coma, Vegapunk's last action was to glance at the watch on his left wrist.

The time is 10:03 PM.

Three minutes had passed since he first checked his watch after entering the lab.

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

call.....

Sieg took a deep breath and glanced at the pistol in his hand.

He never expected that his secret would be exposed by the young man in the laboratory in front of him...

Although he is not a user of the Time-Time Fruit, he has close ties with those who possess it, and he is indeed a time traveler.

Sieg had too many secrets, and the presence of someone spying on his secrets made him feel extremely insecure. In his haste, without thinking, he pulled the trigger.

"It was resolved so easily? Then they must not be some big shot. You gave me quite a fright."

Sieg still felt uneasy.

Just then, a commotion arose outside the door, growing louder as it approached.

What was that sound?

"Did it come from the lab?"

"Was that a gunshot? Has someone sneaked into the lab?"

The commotion grew closer and louder.

Sig's expression changed drastically.

"My perfect stealth was seen through? Everything was going so smoothly just now!"

The thought flashed through Sieg's mind. He glanced at Vegapunk lying at his feet, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

He opened his inventory, and a hand cannon was already in his hand.
