I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"You already know that traveling with me will lead to misfortune, yet you still intend to invite me?"

Roger said seriously, "Those were just jokes, coincidences."

He turned around, glanced at the pirates behind him, and a smirk appeared on his lips:

“Wang Xige, times have changed. This is no longer the era of Lox.”

"Both I and my companions are stronger than ever before."

"Who else on this vast ocean can put the Roger Pirates in such a difficult position right now?"

Roger smiled confidently, and the pirates around him burst into hearty laughter.

This was the peak of the Roger Pirates, their most powerful moment.

Chapter 791 I, King Sig, have never been inferior to anyone in my life.

"Roger, haven't I already rejected you more than once?"

Sieg shook his head.

This relieved Bucky, Shanks, and the others.

They didn't want Wang Xige, this guy of unknown origin, to suddenly become the second first mate.

But then, Sieg changed the subject.

"I guess I'd call myself a traveler now."

“I will not join you, but Roger, if you would be willing to let me board your ship temporarily and travel with you for a while, I would be extremely grateful.”

While Sieg was speaking, he mixed Roger a second drink.

He traveled through time, just to cover up a lie.

The reason I stayed with the Rocks Pirates was because Rocks was the protagonist of that era, a figure at the center of the era's vortex.

Staying by Rocks' side would give him a better chance of covering up the lie.

And Roger is the same now.

Whether it's World Destroyer Wald or Lone Red Red Redfield, their resumes both state that they were once rivals of Roger.

In other words, they had fought against the Roger Pirates many times.

The best option for Higuma is to stay with either the Roger Pirates or the Whitebeard Pirates.

Speaking of covering up lies...

Sig glanced at the light screen panel that had unfolded in front of him.

"Time travel was performed, 1 unit of causal power was consumed."

"Interfered with the fate of the character Vinsmoke Judge, consuming 2 units of Causal Power."

"Residual Causal Power 5".

During the last time travel, Sigurd did many things, but in the end, only Judge was able to change the course of fate.

While he was pondering, the pirates started arguing.

"Captain Roger, why did you let this guy of unknown origin onto the ship?!"

"He doesn't want to join us, but he still wants to get on our ship. Isn't that just irresponsible freeloading?"

Bucky Jr. was the first to stand up and object.

"Freebie? That's going too far."

Sig was a little angry.

As someone who always remembered to vote when reading novels in his past life, he wouldn't necessarily do it next time.

"Little red nose." Sig raised his hand and beckoned Bucky over.

At the same time, he took out one million Berries from his inventory and slammed it on the bar.

“I, Wang Xige, am not willing to take advantage of others. Since I am on your ship, I can afford this travel expense.”

"Who's calling someone's nose red-----"

Bucky's eyes widened; one million peles was a huge sum for Bucky, who was only 12 years old.

He quickly put away the million Berries, then put on a smiling face and nodded, saying:

“Very well, as a member of the Roger Pirates, I agree.”

The other pirates realized that Higuma was teasing Buggy, and they burst into laughter.

But as he was laughing, a tall, dark shadow appeared in front of Sieg, enveloping him completely.

It's Barrett.

He was only 18 years old, but he was already as tall and strong as an iron tower. He looked down at Sieg with an expressionless face, which made the latter's heart freeze and remind him of the descendants of demons in later generations.

"Wang Xige, if you want to join the crew, then fight me, a rookie crew member of the Roger Pirates."

Barrett grinned, full of fighting spirit.

He had just been informed about Wang Xige's achievements by Rayleigh and the others, and now he couldn't contain himself any longer.

“Roger, this isn’t quite right.” Rayleigh turned to look at Roger beside him:

"As a guest on our ship, isn't this a bit against the rules...?"

"What's wrong with it?"

Rayleigh hadn't expected that Roger's face was also full of excited smiles.

"Don't you want to see just how powerful Wang Sig is now, the one who managed to escape unscathed from Rocks 12 years ago?"

Roger's eyes were piercing as he said:

“Hey, Wang Xige, don’t underestimate Barrett. He’s only 18, but he’s very strong.”

Rayleigh sighed slightly and could only add, following Roger's words:

"Barrett was a soldier in the country of endless war from a young age. When he was 14, he used the power of the Fusion Fruit to form an army by himself and destroyed the entire country."

"Don't let his young age fool you, he's already a seasoned combatant. On this ship, only Roger can defeat him."

Sig: .....

It seems he made a bad choice.

Judging from Barrett's excitement, she's probably ready to fight right now.

Sieg's prediction was correct.

Just as Rayleigh finished his introduction, an excited Barrett leaped forward and delivered a powerful punch to Sieg's face!

"slow!"

In the blink of an eye, Sieg only had time to utter this one word.

The next instant, a whistling fist came straight at him, blasting a big hole in the wooden wall of the bar behind him!

The fist finally stopped in front of Sieg; Barrett hadn't thrown the punch.

What are you trying to say?

Barrett was a little unhappy.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Sig's back.

He extended a finger and gently pushed away Barrett's fist that was poised to strike his face.

"Young people shouldn't be so impatient and impulsive..."

Barrett frowned, somewhat disappointed:

"You're not going to back out, are you?"

"Change your mind?"

Sieg chuckled softly, then looked up, composed himself, and stared expressionlessly at Barrett, saying calmly:

"I'm afraid you'll regret it."

"Oh?" Barrett was pleased rather than angry; he clenched his fists and glared at Sieg.

"I would regret it if I didn't take action against such a formidable opponent as you."

This reaction, observed by Sieg, brought him a sense of relief.

Now, many years later, he has roughly figured out Barrett's personality and character.

Looking back now, the 18-year-old Barrett hasn't changed much from the Barrett of later years.

This gave Sieg a way to deal with someone like Barrett.

He maintained his composure and said calmly:

"Barrett, I admit you're very strong."

"But I am stronger than you!"

These words, which sounded somewhat boastful, coupled with Sieg's serious expression, only fueled Barrett's fighting spirit.

"What you said... is true," he said through gritted teeth, clenching his fist again, ready to attack.

"Young people are impulsive... Hold on a minute."

Sieg shook his head and sighed softly. He narrowed his eyes and began to reminisce about the past:

"I, Wang Xige, have lived a life of unparalleled glory, and I am second to none!"

"You know Rocks, right? The overlord of the previous era, the strongest man in the world, a formidable enemy that Roger and Garp had to defeat together... Compared to the pirates of this era, Rocks was the true overlord! I used to chat and laugh with him!"

"You know Edward Newgate the Whitebeard and Shiki the Golden Lion, right? They are two legendary pirates who are on par with Roger."

"I joined the Rocks Pirates with them back then, but I was the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates."

"Do you know why?" Sieg smiled faintly.

“Lox only respects the strong. In his eyes, I am stronger than all of them!”
