I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Garp nodded slightly, and he and the smiling masked man boarded the warship and entered the Tengu's cell.

"I heard you have important information you want to reveal?" Sengoku asked.

"good."

The tengu in the cell raised his head and looked at the two Sengoku figures in front of him:

"I heard this from Roger's crew myself."

"He said that Rocks was seriously injured before he even fought Roger Karp!"

The Warring States period was silent for a while.

"That's it?" Sengoku asked, his interest waning.

This reaction startled Tengu. Seeing Sengoku's disappointed expression, he thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and added:

"And...the injuries on Lox's body were inflicted by Wang Xige!"

"Roger said it himself!"

"What?" Sengoku and the smiling mask exchanged a glance, their eyes showing surprise.

This news truly surprised them.

"Is this news true?" Sengoku narrowed his eyes, a sharp light flashing in them, and pressed for an answer.

Seeing this, the tengu finally felt a little relieved.

It seems that the information he provided this time was valuable.

In order to secure even more preferential treatment, he decided to add as many believable details as possible:

“A month ago, our Rocks Pirates attacked Saien Island, but on the way back, Rocks personally went to pick up King Hig, and the two sides fought on a small island.”

“Wang Xige is our first mate, and his abilities are widely recognized.”

"Although Rocks successfully killed him, he was also injured..."

"Wait!" Sengoku waved his hand to interrupt:

"Roger wasn't a member of the Rocks Pirates, so what he said might not be true!"

Tengu felt a little nervous again. To convince Sengoku and the others, his mind raced as he thought and continued to add:

"No... Ever since that incident, Captain Rocks has been acting a little strange."

"For example, afterwards, he led half of his pirate crew to form a fleet and headed to the giant kingdom of Elbaf with great fanfare. Surprisingly, he, who was always so assertive, didn't fight Elbaf. He just took a treasure chest and went back..."

The Warring States period figure is deep in thought.

In fact, he couldn't figure this out either.

Rocks was always powerful, and he never returned empty-handed from his expeditions with a large army. But that time was an exception, which caused Sengoku's plan against Rocks to fail and directly led to the failure of Zephyr's interception.

Seeing Sengoku's expression, Tengu regained some confidence and continued:

"Moreover, after Vice Admiral Zephyr attacked the returning fleet, Lockes did not lift a finger in the face of Zephyr's provocation and attack; I was the only one who managed to withstand the attack."

"Rocks was already injured, and perhaps every time he fights, his injuries will worsen..."

As the tengu spoke, his words became increasingly fluent, to the point that he himself began to believe them:

“He couldn’t hold on much longer. After leaving Elbaf, Lox rushed to the Valley of the Gods.”

"Because... he doesn't have time."

The Warring States period was silent.

He left the cell with the smiling mask and ordered his subordinates to close the cell door again.

"We shouldn't believe everything the Tengu says, but we should also consider this possibility carefully."

"Let's continue hunting down the remnants of the Rocks Pirates... If Rocks is really acting strangely, these executives should be the first to notice."

The Warring States period sighed slightly.

He never expected that Wang Xige, who had already died, would be involved in the God Valley War.

"Fortunately... both Wang Sig and Lox are already dead."

The Warring States period sighed.

"Also, the tengu inside seems quite clever. Let CP0 handle things regarding her," the smiling mask said.

Sengoku turned to look at the smiling mask.

Both the Navy and CP are agencies under the World Government, and there is no subordinate relationship between them.

However, CP, especially CP0, is closer to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

Now he couldn't refuse.

...........

Mary Geoise.

That night, the darkness was as deep as water, and the moon was nowhere to be seen.

Upon arriving at the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Sieg did not immediately rush into the Holy Land. Instead, he first observed the Holy Land from the air and found out about the patrol situation of the guards.

In the past, death could be reversed by consuming the power of cause and effect.

But Sieg had no desire to be executed by having his heart ripped out.

We survived such a massive event as the Valley of the Gods; it would be truly unfortunate to die in the Holy Land.

Under the cover of darkness, Sig first used the Possession Card to transform into a bald assassin.

After 18 years, Sig returned to the holy site.

Having learned from his previous experience, he stealthily made his way to the rooftop of the Chalmarc Saint family's mansion.

Just as Sieg breathed a slight sigh of relief, he was shocked to find a pair of large, round eyes staring at him in the darkness.

stare------

It's a surveillance Den Den Mushi!

"There weren't any Den Den Mushi here last time I was here... I was careless!"

Sig was startled. He saw that the Den Den Mushi had locked onto him and was about to sound an alarm.

But at that moment, Sig suddenly opened his inventory.

Time stopped flowing.

The Den Den Mushi, poised to sound the alarm, froze in place.

"Sigh... I didn't want to use that kind of thing because it looks so silly, but I have no choice now."

Sieg sighed inwardly.

The card panel light screen quickly unfolded in front of him, and a card appeared.

Item Card: Weakling Hat

Grade: B

Source: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Limitation: Can only be used once.

Ability: Noob Mode - When infiltrating while wearing the Noob Hat, enemies can pretend they can't see you, up to three times.

This is a consolation achievement item I obtained after being killed in the previous failed stealth attempt.

Sig manifested the weakling hat and reluctantly put it on his head.

This is a ridiculous hat shaped like a big white rooster, and its design is more like a child's pajama. It doesn't suit the bald assassin at all.

Close the inventory, and time will start flowing again.

Sig, now bald, crouched in the corner of the rooftop, wearing a weakling hat, staring wide-eyed at the surveillance Den Den Mushi.

The next moment, the monitoring Den Den Mushi closed its wide-open mouth again and casually looked away, as if it hadn't noticed Sig at all.

Chapter 787 Cheating

Seeing that the surveillance Den Den Mushi had looked away, Sig breathed a sigh of relief. He left the rooftop, carefully avoiding the surveillance Den Den Mushi's line of sight, and hid in the shadows.

The "weakling hat" looks comical, like a child's pajamas, but it is indeed a cheating device.

So, what's next...?

Looking down, Sieg saw several black-clad guards standing watch at the entrance of the Celestial Dragons' mansion.

Charmaco and the others, the Celestial Dragons from God Valley, had clearly not yet returned.

In addition to the gatekeepers, guards patrolled every door and window, making the area heavily guarded and leaving no opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation.

This gave Sieg a bit of a headache.

He's no stealth master; infiltrating this heavily guarded house would be far too difficult!

"Since there's no opportunity... let's just go for it!"

Sigmund probed, emerging directly from the shadows and stealthily opening the gates of the Celestial Dragons' mansion.

The security guards only stared at Sieg for a short while at first, then casually looked away, completely ignoring Sieg's existence.

Until Sieg walked through the gate and closed it, the guards kept their eyes straight ahead, completely like deaf and blind NPCs in a low-difficulty game.

"It's a complete cheat tool!"

This strange feeling even reminded him of someone.

Panda Man.

Isn't that how he repeatedly went in and out, chatting and laughing among various big shots, yet almost no one noticed?

Sieg frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it and began searching the mansion.

Years ago, when he first infiltrated the Holy Land, he witnessed Saint Charmaco entering the family's secret chamber.

They crept stealthily into the mansion and soon arrived at the room they remembered.
