I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

But once the time loop begins, this path becomes impassable.

Sig will only open his inventory after entering Rum's laboratory and seeing the sword liquor made by Rum.

Only by opening his inventory will Sig see the note and realize that a new time loop has begun.

At this moment, there was less than a minute left before Vegapunk entered the laboratory to meet him.

Running away is useless. Vegapunk's repeated use of the Time Reversal Fruit's power has shown that he is a person who will never give up until he achieves his goal.

And what Sieg had to do became a bit more complicated.

You cannot kill Vegapunk, and you cannot take Vegapunk away.

Regardless of Vegapunk's purpose, he must persuade him to back down, return history to normal, and make Vegapunk willingly be taken away by the Navy and join their ranks.

"This is so troublesome... such a troublesome ability."

Sieg continued reading.

"The third time loop."

“Vegapunk still looked at the watch; the watch must be an important prop.”

"The transcript of this conversation with Vegapunk is as follows..."

"At the end of the conversation, I still shot Vegapunk."

"Somewhat coincidentally, the time is still 10:03."

"This recurring time point might be something worth taking advantage of... If every time the time reaches 10:03, no matter what Vegapunk says, I shoot Vegapunk, this should give him the feeling that [no matter how many times I reload, I can't go back to the pure love god of war route]."

"If the time loops happen many times, Vegapunk might realize that he should give up completely."

..........

"The fourth time loop."

"After seeing the note in my inventory, I immediately went outside and ran into Vegapunk and shot him."

"But since you've read this far, it means my attempt to break the cycle has failed once again."

.......

"The fifth time..."

The transcript of the conversation with Vegapunk is as follows.

"..."

"Just how obsessed is Vegapunk? Is he really not a fan of my looks?"

......

"The eighth time..."

"Isn't it a bit pitiful to always give him creative ideas? Maybe next time we should try shooting a different part of his body."

.......

"The thirteenth time..."

"I suspect Vegapunk has obsessive-compulsive disorder; he might reverse time at the drop of a hat..."

........

The notes on the paper were initially a proper analysis, but for some reason they gradually went astray.

Judging from the handwriting, it gradually became more and more messy.

Sieg skimmed over the complaints and finally focused his gaze on the end of the note.

"The twenty-third time... Vegapunk still shows no signs of giving up."

"That's enough. It's time to end this, or it will never stop."

“I have already extracted enough information from Vegapunk. The next step is to develop a tailor-made story for Vegapunk based on these twenty-odd experiences, which should be able to end this cycle.”

"..."

Sieg read the note several times, especially the final strategy.

After reading it, he closed his inventory and allowed time to resume its flow.

He removed the cork from the bottle and splashed a beam of sword light forward, leaving a sword mark on the wall.

Sig did not turn around.

He looked at the sword marks on the wall in front of him and murmured:

"Vegapunk, you've finally arrived."

"I have been waiting for you."

After saying this, Sieg turned around and saw Vegapunk had appeared, looking at him with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

These were the opening lines that Vegapunk had said many times in the time loop, but this time Sieg spoke them first.

Vegapunk's expression changed.

He hadn't even introduced himself when this time loop started...

A thought immediately flashed through his mind.

Although he was surprised and suspicious, he did not blindly trust Sieg.

Then, he activated the power of the Time Reversal Fruit once again, and his body gradually faded into the air.

On his deathbed, Vegapunk saw Sigurd standing there motionless, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

This gave him a bad feeling.

........

Another time loop.

Vegapunk pushed open the door and entered, just in time to see Wang Xige with his back to him, staring calmly at the sword marks on the wall.

"We meet again, Vegapunk."

"You don't need to be surprised."

Sieg's expression remained unchanged, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing at the corners of his lips:

"The Time Reversal Fruit is indeed a very powerful ability, but as the user of the Time Fruit, I am not so oblivious to the many abnormal time flows that have occurred."

These words plunged Vegapunk into an icy abyss...

"Is Wang Xige bluffing me? But where did he get this information from?"

"Something's not right... This is a big problem." Vegapunk's breathing became slightly rapid.

Chapter 729 I've Already Seen the Future

Vegapunk's mentality is starting to crumble.

If Sieg already knew about the time loop, what was the point of his repeated attempts?

If Sieg knows everything but pretends not to, then in Sieg's eyes, what he did in the previous dozens of time loops was nothing more than being a clown.

Shocked, Vegapunk heard Sieg continue to ask:

"Vegapunk, your goal is to cooperate with me, the user of the Time-Time Fruit, and use our complementary abilities to travel back and forth on the timeline indefinitely without any restrictions, right?"

His pupils contracted, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"In the previous time loops, I didn't have a chance to ask that question... How did you know?"

If Sigir was repeating what Vegapunk had said before, then this sentence is something Vegapunk hasn't had a chance to ask yet.

Sieg wasn't surprised by Vegapunk's reaction.

This statement was actually made by Toki Amatsuki, the true user of the Time-Time Fruit.

What kind of conditions could a user of the Time-Reversal Fruit be that insists on negotiating with another user of the Time-Time Fruit?

However, this was destined to be fruitless.

Toki and Vegapunk were time travelers trying to find each other in the river of time, but one of them was Sigurd...

“Of course I know. It’s all thanks to your help, Vegapunk.”

Sieg smiled faintly:

"Vegapunk, you've developed your Time Reversal Fruit ability quite well, turning this ability to travel to the past into an almost infinite ability to rewind time."

"But how do you know the power of the Time Fruit?"

Sieg turned around, his eyes as calm and still as a deep pool, and gazed at Vegapunk:

"As a user of the Time-Time Fruit, I am not unaware of the numerous abnormal time flows that have occurred."

"Thanks to your repeated cycles, my Time Fruit has been developed to a new level... Future Vision."

Sieg clenched his fist and muttered:

"I can already see the future."

"What do you mean by seeing the future?" Vegapunk asked, puzzled.

"It means exactly what it says."

Sigurd looked at Vegapunk and whispered:

"Vegapunk, your future path is to join the World Government and become its chief scientist."

"In the future, you will become an unprecedented legend in the scientific community, known as a man who surpasses human wisdom by 500 years."

"The blueprint for life is just the beginning."

"You, in the future, will create miracles in the history of science and technology time and time again."

Sig began to spoil the plot:

"You created naval warships capable of traversing the Calm Belt, allowing the navy to travel more easily across the four seas. From then on, the navy of the Grand Line could more easily travel to and from the four seas, changing the order of the four seas."

"You discovered the conditions for the transmission of Devil Fruits, allowing inanimate objects to consume them."
