I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Every day, many pirates come and go, landing in Loguetown, eagerly preparing to head to the Grand Line.

The bar is always packed with people.

"Hey boss! I heard that One Piece used to come to your bar all the time?"

"Really? Is it that One Piece?"

"Boss, give me a bottle of rum, and tell us about One Piece while you're at it?"

Faced with the enthusiasm of the new pirates, the aging bar owner shook his head.

"Actually, this bar was acquired many years ago. I'm no longer the owner."

"Right now I'm just an employee, the manager of this store... and also a bartender."

"Is this any way you want, boss? Tell us about One Piece."

"He's really impatient..."

The bar owner smiled slightly as he poured drinks for customers and reminisced about the past.

"Roger's story... well, that was 33 years ago."

"This story begins with a wine bottle."

......

Clang!

A bottle slammed against the ship's railing, the clear sound of it shattering startling the man sitting next to it, who had his eyes closed.

"Wake up, Roger."

"We're almost at Upside Down Mountain. If we capsize again this time, I won't save you this time."

Sieg said, one hand gripping the ship's rudder and the other holding a broken bottle.

Roger paused for a moment, then suddenly recalled what had happened ten days earlier.

That happened just after he returned to Loguetown, had a long talk with Sig, and was preparing to turn himself in.

"Roger, don't rush off." Sieg stood at the bar entrance, his eyes deep and unreadable.

"Listen, I have a big plan... I can save you once, and you can save me once in the future."

Chapter 834 Sig: I Have a Big Plan

"Listen, I have a big plan..."

Ten days ago.

As Roger was about to leave the bar to turn himself in at the local naval branch, Sieg stopped him with these words.

"What plan?" Roger stopped in his tracks.

Before we get to that, I want to ask you a very important question.

Sieg looked directly into Roger's eyes and asked:

"If you had a choice, would you want to live?"

This question left Roger silent for a very, very long time.

"I am the Pirate King who has never existed on this sea before."

Roger began by saying:

"I've formed my own pirate crew, and I have the best group of crew members in the world."

"We went on two great voyages together, visiting the sky island 10,000 meters above the ground and the fish-man island 10,000 meters below the sea."

"At the end of our journey, we conquered the Grand Line, accomplished an unprecedented feat, and obtained the legendary treasure, ONE PIECE."

"The world calls me Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King."

With each word Roger spoke, his eyes grew brighter, until they seemed to be shining, and he grinned with a childlike, wide smile.

"Even though I had a terminal illness, I did everything I could in the last moments of my life."

"When I parted ways with Rayleigh and the others, my last words to Rayleigh were: I will not die..."

"Don't laugh, that statement is not the same as your claim that you won't die."

Roger reached up and touched the top of his head, but found nothing.

"My will has been passed on to those who come after me, so I will not die."

"Also, Whitebeard, you, and I each had our last drink."

"I have no regrets about my pirate career! I have no regrets whatsoever! Now, I can face death with a smile!"

"Therefore, I plan to use my only remaining useful identity, the Pirate King, to do something that only I can do and no one can replace."

"Confess."

Sieg didn't speak, he just watched Roger quietly.

He saw the bright light in Roger's eyes gradually dim and soften.

"Gol D. Roger, as the Pirate King, could die with a smile on his face," Roger continued.

"But after meeting Rouge, I gained a new identity."

"It was from that day that I began to understand Whitebeard... but it was too late, I had no time left."

"I am a husband and father."

"After I die, the World Government will not let them get away with it..."

He sighed softly.

"If I had a choice, I'd at least want to see my child born..."

He looked at Sieg and said his last words:

"I want to live."

Sig remained silent.

The Pirate King, who faced death with composure, wasn't as carefree as he seemed.

From the moment he chose to marry and have children, he acquired another identity besides that of a pirate.

"Not bad. Looks like I misjudged you. You're better than a fruit fly."

Roger, speechless, retorted, "...So what exactly is a fruit fly?"

"Let's not talk about that. Let's make a deal. I'll do you a favor, and you'll do me one in the future," Sieg said.

"Come and be my trump card."

The future alliance of the 56 Emperors can be said to be the strongest force of that era, and even the world's strongest man, Whitebeard, might not be able to defeat it alone.

The system panel quickly appeared in front of him.

The original hero, KING, traveled to the past and personally shot down all the meteorites that fell to the ground, thus allowing humanity to be born! He has gained a limited ability to travel through time, only able to go to the past, and can have a limited impact on the world.

[By consuming the power of causality, the outcome of ordinary plot events can be altered, causing changes in the world line. People, things, memories, and everything else at the "present" point in time will be rationally reconstructed according to the law of causality.]

Sig currently has 14 units of causal power remaining.

There are three ways to use the power of cause and effect.

Time travel, resurrection, and altering the plot.

The ability to travel through time is limited; it can only be used to travel to points in the past and requires the consumption of causal power. Therefore, it is a limited time travel ability.

In this respect, this ability is inferior to the Time Fruit and the Reverse Time Fruit.

Vegapunk can rewind infinitely, and Toki can travel to the future repeatedly. Even Rocks at his peak might not have been able to stop her.

but.

The ability of "The First Hero" possesses the power that both Toki and Vegapunk desire most.

That is the power to change the world and alter established history.

Tengetsu comes from the past 800 years in the future, while Vegapunk comes from the future 500 years in the future. The goal of both of them is to meet each other, combine their strengths, and thus travel back and forth on the timeline.

Their ultimate goal is to change the established history.

The prototype of the ability "The Original Hero" is the legendary King who traveled back in time, sank a meteor shower falling on the earth, and saved the ancient earth, thus allowing humanity to be born.

This is the power to change the course of history.

Looking at Roger before him, Sieg's eyes were deep, and a thousand thoughts surged within him.

"I, Sig, simply do not wish to see heroes grow old and beauties die young."

"Damn it. I, Sig, went to great lengths to avoid death precisely to prevent the pointless depletion of causal power, to accumulate causal power, and to change the established history, didn't I?"

..........

"You mean you're going to fake your death in my place?" Roger was completely stunned.

"That's right. It's not impossible if it's done properly."

Sieg nodded.

He was still fairly confident about this matter.

The death of Rocks was a prelude to the death of the Pirate King.

He was familiar with the plot.
