I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"It's something I was born with, and it bothers me a lot."

Sieg swirled the milk in his glass and replied:

"Besides, where are you old?"

Upon hearing this, Roger's face gradually darkened:

"Then translate for me, what does 'fuck fruit fly' mean? And what does 'like wolves and tigers' mean?"

Sieg replied casually:

"Men are lustful until they die; they are always in their prime, like wolves and tigers."

"When people are about to die, they usually want to leave something behind for the world."

"You have left behind more than enough; fame, power, and wealth have reached the pinnacle of this world."

"The only thing we're still lacking is offspring, isn't it?"

Roger stood there stunned for a long while, then finally sighed helplessly and said softly:

"You guessed it right."

"If possible, I hope my child can surpass me and do things that I cannot do."

It's not surprising that Sieg, who had been on his ship, learned about or guessed about his condition from Crocus or others.

The entire pirate crew, and even the Whitebeard Pirates, knew that Roger was doomed.

"This is my last act of selfishness. But I'm afraid I won't live to see my child grow up."

Sig remained silent.

He narrowed his eyes, as if recalling the year he was no longer a pirate, and a smile appeared on his face:

"If it's a boy, we'll name him Ace; if it's a girl, we'll name her Ann."

"I had drinks with Whitebeard before, and he told me that you've always wanted a daughter..."

"Stop!"

Sieg waved his hand, interrupting Roger:

"There are only two people in this world who are familiar with you and who could potentially save your child."

"Garp, and Whitebeard."

"Keep those words to them."

Sieg stood up, walked behind the bar, and looked at the liquor cabinet behind him.

"Would you like something to drink, Roger?"

"Angel's Kiss".

The bar owner stood quietly to the side, not saying a word, but a smile gradually appeared on his lips.

33 years ago, when Wang Xige first appeared, he claimed to be a bandit returning from the Grand Line, while Roger wasn't even a pirate.

The agreement between the two parties seems like it was made just yesterday.

Time flies.

Roger was already the world-renowned Pirate King.

But when the boss saw these two people, he felt as if he had returned to the past.

......

"When you return from your voyage, when your journey is complete, and when you return to Roggetown in the East Sea, I will personally make you another Angel's Kiss."

"As a reward for the angel's kiss, remember to tell me about the interesting things you encounter during your voyage."

"Is it a deal?"

"It's a word."

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

According to the agreement made 33 years ago.

After his final voyage, Pirate King Roger secretly returned to his hometown of Loguetown and reminisced about his adventures in a bar.

It includes his adventures in the East China Sea during his youth, his encounters with companions such as Rayleigh and Jabba, and the trivial old stories on the ship.

During the Grand Line era, he had several perilous encounters with his initial enemy, Rocks, and was repeatedly pursued by Garp.

There was the world-shaking Battle of God Valley, and later the Battle of Eidolon...

There were also great pirates who once rivaled Roger and stood alongside him at the pinnacle of this era.

Sieg swirled the wine glass in his hand, his eyes half-closed, as a distant memory surfaced in his mind.

.........

That was during his first meeting with Garp at the very beginning of his transmigration, back in Windmill Village in the East China Sea.

"More than ten years ago, after two great voyages, Roger had become the Pirate King, and he secretly returned to Loguetown."

"At that time, he seemed to feel that his death was near, and he was unusually talkative, saying a lot of random things to me."

This is a lie!

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

The invisible force of cause and effect has increased once again.

"Causal connection: The agreement between beginning and end has been reached. Causal power increased by 1."

Most of the time, Sig simply listened quietly, along with the bar owner, as the Pirate King, who was nearing the end of his life, recounted old stories.

He would only chime in when a few notorious pirates that Sig was somewhat familiar with were mentioned.

"Even the top pirates on this sea have their own weaknesses and vulnerabilities."

Roger said:

“Barrett is still too young. There are flaws in his mind. After combining and becoming gigantic, his destructive power increases, but the flaws also become greater.”

"I heard that he fought a rookie pirate with a Logia-type Devil Fruit power to a draw not long ago. It seems that some smart people have seen through his weakness."

“Indeed.” Sig nodded.

"The same goes for Wald. As a user of the Momo-Momo Fruit, his explosive power is unmatched, but he relies too much on the power of the Devil Fruit," Roger continued.

"Indeed. If he didn't have the power of a Devil Fruit, his strength would have dropped by more than one level."

Sieg commented:

"Even without the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard is still terrifyingly strong, while Wald is not at that level."

"And Redfield, I heard he was defeated by you," Roger asked.

“Redfield is a top-tier swordsman with exceptional Observation Haki. Wang Sig, in your opinion, where is his weakness?”

"The strength of Lone Red is impeccable," Sig said.

“His inner thoughts can mislead and interfere with his judgment... At the same time, he is all alone, which is his weakness.”

"There's more than one admiral in the Navy. Even if he could defeat Steelbone Sky, there are others..."

The two men raised their glasses and chatted idly, discussing almost every major pirate in the world.

Even the world's top experts have weaknesses; none of them are invincible.

It is not uncommon for the weak to find the weaknesses of the strong, or to overcome the strong through various strange abilities.

If Perona, the user of the Spirit-Spirit Fruit, were a little ruthless, she could have wiped out the Straw Hat crew on their very first meeting.

But is she stronger than Luffy, Zoro, or even the entire Straw Hat crew?

Without the legendary Usopp, Sugar, the user of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, could easily defeat Luffy and Law.

But is she stronger than Luffy and Law?

Usopp > Sugar & Perona > Luffy > Morgan > Garp > Roger

So Usopp could defeat Roger in two slingshots?

There is no such thing as the Four Emperors Realm, the Great General Realm, or the Quasi-Great General Realm in this world.

Those who can overcome those of higher level are geniuses who appear only once every few centuries, extremely rare.

On this vast ocean, it is difficult for the weak to defeat the strong, but it is not impossible.

Wald, Lone Red, Big Mom, Kaido... these people all have their own weaknesses.

Not only great pirates, but also the admirals of the Navy have weaknesses.

Their weaknesses only become apparent when the plot of the original work progresses to the point where the main characters need to defeat a Marine Admiral.

Roger concluded by saying, "There is no one in this world who is without flaws or shortcomings."

At this point, he chuckled softly:

"My biggest shortcoming is probably my lifespan."

“…”

Sig fell silent again.

Whether it was Rocks, Roger, or later Whitebeard, these great pirates who once dominated an era all had similar problems.

Human strength has its limits.

No matter whether you're called a demon or a monster, no one can stay at the top forever or be the strongest in the world.

The atmosphere gradually became somber again.

"Speaking of which, Roger, there's something I've always wanted to know," Sieg changed the subject.

"Pirates all have their own titles. For example, Newgate is called Whitebeard. What was your title before you became the Pirate King? I don't seem to remember."

"Guess it?"

“Let me guess…” Sig rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment.

"Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, is known to the world as your lifelong rival, someone who has always been your equal. So, your title wouldn't happen to be...?"
