I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Roger?" Rayleigh saw through his intention:

"We've only just finished one battle..."

Although the Navy did not have the same familiar faces involved in this battle, it was still quite large in scale.

The Navy knew how powerful the Roger Pirates were, so why would they send their subordinates to their deaths?

However, they still failed, and couldn't even inflict any significant casualties on the Roger Pirates.

"Rayleigh, let's fight Whitebeard and the others first," Roger said dismissively.

"I don't have many days left to live."

"Perhaps this is the last time I'll see you, Whitebeard." Roger smirked.

Rayleigh stiffened slightly and exchanged a glance with the ship's doctor, Crocus.

Roger had said it all, and Roger couldn't refute him.

It's always the same...

It was the same with Rocks, and it was the same with Shiki... They couldn't really interfere with Captain Roger's decisions.

..........

In the dense forest.

Kozuki Oden looked up at the man standing in mid-air, and took the initiative to challenge him, his fighting spirit high.

"Another challenger, but I'm already tired of it."

A hint of annoyance flashed in Sieg's eyes:

"I have fought countless battles in my life, and I never act rashly. Once I do, someone will often regret it."

A true master doesn't act rashly.

He made a fool of himself the moment he tried.

But Kozuki Oden's fighting spirit remained high:

"I won't regret it!"

"I will only regret it if I back down when I encounter a strong opponent!"

After saying this, Kozuki Oden had already drawn his sword, crossed the two swords in front of him with his left and right hands, and rushed out like lightning!

"Wait!"

The moment Kozuki Oden made his move, Whitebeard's tall figure had already appeared beside him.

"Bai Xiaoji, are you trying to steal my opponent?"

Kozuki Oden did not stop; instead, he quickened his pace.

"Oden, you're too impatient!"

Whitebeard raised his naginata, but instead of aiming it at Sigurd, he aimed it at Mikoto.

On the blade of the Naginata Ame-no-Murakumo, white light swirled, and a destructive aura was brewing within it.

With a single, powerful slash, Kozuki Oden and his sword were sent flying.

"Dad?"

Marco had already led his men to catch up from behind. He flapped his wings and took flight, using his feet as claws to catch Oden, who had been cleaved away. He looked at Whitebeard in the distance with a surprised expression.

Whitebeard's strike was not intended to kill; it merely used the shockwave to knock Oden over.

But the fact that they would take action against Kozuki Oden is itself quite unbelievable.

Whitebeard did not respond.

After sending Oden flying, Whitebeard turned around and looked at Sig standing in the air with a strange gaze.

"Guralalalalalala... Are you waiting for me?"

After clearly recognizing Sig's appearance, Whitebeard burst into laughter:

"Roger was right, you are indeed still alive."

"It must have been 13 years since we last met, Wang Xige."

Wang Xige?

The name immediately caused Marco and the others to change their expressions drastically.

"Is that Wang Xige, the vice-captain of the pirate crew my father was in back then?"

"Rocks is dead, how is he still alive?"

"Are the legends of the last era still alive?"

"What are you talking about? Who is Wang Xige?" Kozuki Oden got up from the ground, looking at Whitebeard and Marco and the others with some confusion.

“Wang Xige... He was a great pirate who should have died in the old era, and his origins are very mysterious.”

"It is said that he died at the hands of the previous era's overlord, Lox, more than ten years ago, but now it seems that this news is false?"

"Wait...isn't this guy an enemy? I've heard that the crew of the Rocks Pirates have really bad relationships with each other!"

Sieg's attention was not on Marco and the others.

"Thirteen years? Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Sieg remarked.

In his personal perception, only about one or two weeks had passed, but for Whitebeard, it had been 13 years.

Thirteen years ago, the last time Higuma met Whitebeard as King Higuma was during the Vegapunk incident.

Based on this...

This time travel occurred only one year after the Battle of Aitwall in 1497.

Amidst the murmurs, Whitebeard turned around and glanced helplessly at Marco and the others:

"Don't talk nonsense."

“Not everyone on that ship was that kind of pirate; Wang Xige was different.”

A look of reminiscence flashed in the white-bearded man's eyes:

"Speaking of which, I owe a lot to Wang Xige back then for being able to have you sons."

Sieg sighed, rubbing his forehead. "...Can't you speak in a more normal way?"

“I’m not wrong.”

Whitebeard burst into loud laughter:

"It was after that drunken conversation that I started thinking about fighting to build this home... right up until now."

Back then, Sigourmet and Whitebeard, two young men in their early twenties, talked about how to adopt children after drinking, how to grow nose hairs into a crescent shape to look imposing, and how to naturally say "Come be my son" without getting beaten up.

The people on the ship thought they were out of their minds, and the two of them were chatting away, with Dracula chiming in from the side.

This incident happened 25 years ago.

The once-single man with a white beard now has a large family that he built himself.

And Wang Xige...

Ok?

Whitebeard blinked, a look of surprise on his face:

"Speaking of which, I remember you said you already had two adopted daughters..."

He glanced at Sieg, who was all alone, and then at his group of sons behind him, looking somewhat bewildered.

Over the years, he had never heard of Wang Xige having any daughters... and he had almost always been single.

Whitebeard pondered for a moment, and his gaze toward Sigur unconsciously softened with a hint of sympathy.

He pondered for a moment, then smiled and extended his hand to Sieg:

"If you don't mind, would you like to join my family?"

Chapter 814 Our Family is Complete

Oh...

Sigmund was taken aback by Whitebeard's invitation.

Whitebeard then defended himself, saying:

"Don't worry, we're on equal footing. This isn't about taking you in as my son."

Sieg breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling both touched and somewhat troubled:

"You wouldn't happen to want me to be your first mate, would you?"

Since Sig's time travel, about three or four people have said the word "first mate."

The only one he agreed to was Lox.

He died later.

"First mate?"

Whitebeard shook his head:

"We're all one family on this ship; there's no position like 'first mate'..."

Thinking about this, Whitebeard was also in a bit of a dilemma.

The Whitebeard Pirates are a large family consisting of Whitebeard and his sons, most of whom were adopted by Whitebeard.

However, there is one exception.

Kozuki Oden.

Kozuki Oden and Whitebeard addressed each other as brothers. Oden was of the same generation as Whitebeard and did not need to call him "father." He also served as the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

But Wang Xige...
