I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

This shows that what they were planning was no small matter, and even if the envelope was intercepted, they probably wouldn't know the full picture.

But here's the problem...

Sig, who suddenly took over the identity of Lox, was completely unaware of this!

"I see."

Under the watchful eyes of the pirates, Sigurd pondered for a moment, then had no choice but to bite the bullet and tentatively ask:

"In short, I'll meet you with my men at the place indicated by the pointer a month from now, shall we?"

Upon hearing this, Stussy's expression changed slightly.

“Mr. Lolox, I was just a messenger delivering a letter and I know nothing about this matter.”

"But if that's what the letter says, then it must be true."

Stussy paused for a moment before offering this explanation.

She truly hadn't expected that Sieg would read out what was on the envelope in front of so many people.

Such secret letters, delivered with great ceremony by messengers between two important figures, seem to have lost their meaning.

"Hmm...I understand."

Sieg nodded casually:

"Then, please say hello to Ivan for me."

"see a visitor out."

Stussy was taken away by the pirates, but the pressure on Sieg didn't lessen at all.

He sat at the table, propping his head up with one hand, still thinking about what was mentioned in the envelope.

After thinking for a moment, Sig glanced somewhat inexplicably at the group of pirates still gathered in the hall.

"Is something wrong?"

Once Sig asked that question, the waiting pirates finally started talking.

"Captain Rocks, our pirate crew is running low on funds. Which country should we attack next?"

Blackwing Tengu walked up and unfolded a nautical chart, on which several places were circled in red.

"According to the previous plan, we have five targets to choose from, three of which are member states of the World Government, and two are non-member states..."

Sieg narrowed his eyes and said:

"Let's talk about this another day."

"But our money..." Before Blackwing Tengu could finish speaking, another pirate stepped forward:

"Captain Rocks, two of our ship's officers, Shiki the Golden Lion and Hale the Undead, are fighting. Captain Rocks, do you think it would be better if you stepped in to mediate?"

Mediation...

Sig suddenly felt that things were getting a bit complicated.

How could he possibly intervene in the conflict between these two powerful individuals?

This isn't like before when we had the Dragonfly Captain card.

Although Liu Bei still has a chance to "break up," the conditions are tricky, requiring a power struggle between the two before they can do so.

His expression turned cold, and he said:

"You don't need to report these boring things to me anymore."

Sieg's cold voice echoed in the hall:

"We're pirates, what's wrong with fighting and killing each other?"

Chapter 749 Blank Card Without a Character

Sig’s cold voice echoed in the hall, immediately silencing the pirate who had just spoken.

However, the matter did not end there; there were other issues waiting for Sieg to resolve.

"Captain Rocks."

Serent also emerged from the crowd, and Judge, wearing a white coat, was pulled over by him.

"According to Wang Xige, Judge is Vegapunk's right-hand man. What should we do with this guy?"

Before Sieg could speak, Judge had already patted his chest and started talking to himself:

"Lord Rocks, the knowledge I possess is second only to Vegapunk's, and it is absolutely invaluable."

"Give me time, and I can build a massive army of clones. They will be completely obedient, emotionless iron men, the most competent soldiers ever!"

Judge patted his chest and gave his enthusiastic guarantee, but Sig was not interested at all.

To be honest, he wasn't the real Rocks; his goal was simply to impersonate Rocks until the God Valley Massacre.

So what's the point of Gadgetzan? What's the point of the clone army?

If this clone army were to gain influence and win the God Valley battle, the consequences would be uncontrollable...

Sig glanced at Judge and said calmly:

"Boring."

This cold response felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured over Judge's head, chilling him to the bone.

“Weak people who are devoid of emotion, fear, and anger, and who are like machines, are scum no matter how many there are.”

“Sirent, since you brought him here, you can take care of him.”

"As for the funding issue..." Sig thought of what Blackwing Tengu had said earlier about the lack of funds, and then said:

"I'll give you a budget of 500 million Berries a year. As for the rest, we'll talk about it after you've made a name for yourself..." Sieg said casually.

These words reignited a fire in Judge's heart.

He was not yet twenty years old and had previously only been Vegapunk's deputy. He did not have his own laboratory and had never led a project.

Five hundred million a year is far from the result he wants. After all, it's a project that Judge's goal, but Vegapunk hasn't even touched, which is to create a large army of clones based on the theory of lineage factors.

Ultimately, with the Rocks Pirates as a powerful backer, less funding is actually a good outcome for Judge.

“Compared to this guy…” Sigurd’s tone shifted, his gaze landing on the pirates:

"Thanks to King Sig, Vegapunk should have already fallen into the hands of the Navy."

"Whether he's in a naval prison or some secret research institute, find him!"

Sieg gave this order.

The pirates all agreed, but Judge, among them, felt a little unconvinced.

His treatment wasn't bad, but Rocks clearly valued Vegapunk more.

"Captain Rocks, I..."

Judge was about to say something more when Miles, the pirate crew's doctor, grabbed his arm and stopped him from speaking.

.........

About half an hour later, Sieg returned to Lox's room.

He sat on the sofa, looking somewhat tired.

"Being in charge of the Lox family is really tough. With such a large family and business, there are quite a lot of things to deal with. It's a real mess."

Sig murmured.

The Rocks Pirates have become too powerful and uncontrollable. Even Rocks himself, who was originally a man of great strength and prestige, will face the predicament of being betrayed and abandoned by his followers in the future. Moreover, Rocks has now been quietly replaced.

As Sieg sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, several light screens rapidly unfolded in front of him.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Sig's ears.

"Achievement Quest: Become the captain of the world's strongest pirate crew and receive one chance to draw a random card."

"New mission activated."

"Mission: The Right Track of History".

Mission objective: Play as the prematurely deceased character, Loki, until history returns to its proper course.

Task Reward: One chance to draw a random card.

After a cursory glance, Sieg gave a faint, bitter smile.

"I am now the captain of the world's strongest pirate crew... but I would rather not have it."

The matter of Lox has left Sieg in a bit of a mess.

"Draw a card to relax."

With a thought, Sieg returned to the familiar sea of ​​stars once again.

Amidst the glittering stars, countless rays of light converged, and a square card emerged from it, its pale golden light shimmering and radiating outwards.

Then, the card suddenly flipped over, revealing its face to Sig.

Sieg glanced at it and was immediately stunned.

Because the card surface was completely blank, with nothing on it.

Item Card: Blank Card

Quality: Grade A

Limit: 1 times

Ability: Immediate Card Printing ---------- When this card is used on another character, if the check is successful, the user will obtain the corresponding character's Possession Card. The card quality is between CA.

When Sieg's gaze fell on the specific ability, [Instant Card Printing], another line of explanatory text appeared from the side.

(Check rule: Success rate increases against targets who are mentally broken, offer no resistance, or are friendly.)

Blank card....

This delighted Sieg.
