I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The ability to hear what others are thinking is not necessarily a good thing.

It's like everyone says they want to find a "soulmate with compatible values," but what they really want is a "slim waist, beautiful face, long legs, long legs, prprprprpr".

Redfield not only heard their thoughts, but also felt out of place among the other old perverts, eventually becoming withdrawn.

"I understand."

Sieg suddenly realized.

He seems to have found Redfield's weakness.

As long as he keeps thinking about those indescribable, filthy thoughts, the aloof Redfield will probably give up trying to read minds. He might even get angry because of incompatible sexual preferences, and ultimately, due to the large fluctuations in his emotions, he won't be able to unleash his powerful Observation Haki.

"I don't know whether to use the 'Teacher Cang's Visualization Method' or the 'Philosophical♂' Visualization Method... Damn, I'm so conflicted..."

Sieg hesitated.

"What do you know?" Whitebeard asked, somewhat curious.

"Anyway, Whitebeard, tell me more about Redfield!"

Sieg began:

"I want to know, what kind of woman does he like?"

Whitebeard's hand holding the wine bowl trembled, almost spilling the wine, and he looked at Sieg with a surprised expression.

Why are you asking this?

Whitebeard seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned strange.

“Of course, it’s to defeat him,” Sieg said.

"Oh. I thought it was something important, but it turns out it's about defeating him."

Whitebeard inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly:

"Gurarararararar... That guy is indeed quite strong. His Observation Haki is really troublesome. If you haven't encountered a similar opponent, you might actually suffer."

"But there are ways to beat him."

"Oh? Tell me more." Sig became interested.

A strategy guide personally crafted by a top-tier player like Whitebeard is a real treasure.

"Gulalalala...that's easy."

The white-bearded man laughed loudly and said:

“Redfield’s Observation Haki is very strong, and his swordsmanship is not weak either, but he is not a Devil Fruit user after all, and his own strength is a bit weak.”

"What good is being able to read minds? It's still useless when faced with attacks that you can't stop or dodge."

"So as long as you confront him head-on first, and use a powerful strike to knock him down, ideally breaking his umbrella, then it will be much easier to fight him."

Sig: .....

Let's get back to our previous topic.

Sieg was speechless for a moment, then took a sip of his drink and continued to ask:

What are Redfield's sexual fetishes?

"Ok?"

Whitebeard's hand trembled, the wine bowl in his hand tilted, and the wine spilled onto the deck.

Was this the topic we were just discussing?

Moreover, isn't this kind of topic a bit dangerous?

"No...I don't know. I don't know anything about Redfield to that extent either..."

Whitebeard looked at Sigurd in silence, then suddenly asked:

"Wang Xige, I just wanted to ask... could your ability to change faces also be used to transform into a woman?"

Sig: ......

"Dad, we're almost at the island where the Pirate Expo will be held!"

At this moment, Marco walked over and pointed to the outline of the island that was gradually emerging in the distance.

"It seems our chat time should come to an end."

Whitebeard put down the bottle and stood up.

"My ties with the rest of the Rocks Pirates were severed on the day of God Valley."

"I won't be going to the One Piece Expo."

Sieg replied, "I understand. This is enough. Anyway, lend me a small boat. I can get there myself."

Whitebeard nodded:

"Next time we meet, please bring your daughter to see me too."

"Then we'll see who has more daughters or sons."

"Haha...I can't compare to that." Sig laughed and shook his head.

He watched as Sieg disembarked from the small boat, rowed alone, and headed towards the distant island.

.............................

The Pirate Expo is a grand event held specifically for pirates.

When Sig arrived, the port was already full of pirate ships of all sizes, and it looked very prosperous.

Aside from the food street and entertainment district, what attracted Sieg's attention the most was the giant ship moored in the river in the center of the island.

Chapter 823 Pirate Expo

The giant ship moored in the river is an island ship.

The ship was enormous, and it even had a piece of land on board, comparable to a small island, similar to Moriah's Thriller Bark, only smaller.

Although the island ship has huge sails, multiple propellers can be seen on the hull, indicating that it is a hybrid-powered vessel.

"That's a huge ship, I just wonder whose it is..."

The thought had barely crossed Sieg's mind when he heard exclamations coming from all around him.

"The Great Pirate King has appeared... I heard he was a former member of the Rocks Pirates."

"Not only Wang Zhi, but also Silver Axe... Were they all invited by Captain John?"

"It's the lone red Baron Redfield!"

"He really came too!"

"Even he was alarmed by Lox's legacy?"

As time went by, one after another, the invited great pirates made their appearance.

Even among the great pirates, the lone red Redfield stands out.

He was dressed in a crimson tailcoat, with a blood-red cloak draped over his back. He stood alone on a small boat, holding a long umbrella in his hand, looking quite imposing.

If it weren't for his cold expression and aloof demeanor, he would look more like an old gentleman than a great pirate.

"It's like seeing a second Hawkeye Mihawk..."

The thought crossed Sieg's mind. He looked away and disappeared into the crowd, not lingering on the matter.

Redfield possesses extremely strong Observation Haki; it would be a great injustice if someone were to be killed simply for glancing at him a few times in a crowd.

As more and more powerful pirates arrived, the atmosphere on the island grew increasingly tense and restless.

"Where's John? Didn't he invite us? Tell him to come out right now!" Silver Axe shouted.

"Let him out! Let's get started!" The Undead Hale stood at the bow of the ship and sneered.

Not only him, but also many other great pirates were shouting.

Most pirates are lawless characters, and it's unlikely that they'll follow the rules.

Moreover, among the people who came to this island were Silver Axe, Hale, and other executives of the Rocks Pirates.

In terms of status and seniority, these people were no less than John in the past, and some were even more so.

"However, it seems that Shiki the Golden Lion, Big Mom, and Kaido are not here..."

Sieg thought:

"Is it that they, like Whitebeard, are uninterested in this, or did John simply not invite them at all, to avoid things getting out of control?"

It's not impossible, really.

Rocks is dead, and the entire pirate crew has been broken up for many years.

It's unrealistic to expect Captain John, who wasn't the most dazzling star back then, to have such a huge appeal.

Even if Bigom, the Golden Lion, and others really come, they will probably completely disregard the rules and start looting right here.

After Silver Axe, Hale, and the others finished their rounds of shouting, the entire venue erupted into chaos.

A moment later, two people finally appeared on the main stage.

"It seems that today's contestants are already very eager to get started."

The host, Festa, sporting an afro, finally made his appearance. His image was displayed on the big screen via a video Den Den Mushi, reaching the eyes of everyone on the island.

But Silver Axe and the others' gazes fell on John, who was standing next to Festa.

John was thin with long hair, holding a bottle of liquor in one hand, but he was adorned with gold and silver, making him look like a wealthy businessman.

After the God Valley incident, other great pirates focused on recruiting crew members and expanding their own forces.

John, however, was solely focused on the treasure. He was the first to leave God Valley and the first to arrive at Beehive Island. If we're talking about who was most likely to inherit Rocks' legacy, then he truly was the one.

“John----”

Hale had barely uttered a growl when John on the screen picked up the microphone and said lazily:

"Don't rush, the treasure isn't on me right now, killing me won't help."
