I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

At Xia Qi's extortionate bar.

Xia Qi stood behind the bar, reading a newspaper, a cigarette dangling from her lips.

In the near future, almost everything in the news and newspapers is related to Roger and the Great Pirate Era.

Shakky, a former executive of the Rocks Pirates, left before the God Valley Massacre and used the money given to her by "Rocks" to open a bar in the Sabaody Archipelago.

But she is more than just a bar owner.

After years of operation, she had become a local bigwig in the Sabaody Archipelago, a source of intelligence, and the surrounding gangs, big and small, had to call her "Big Sister".

She knows far more than what's reported in the newspapers.

"The Navy was extremely tense during the period before and after Roger's execution."

"Golden Lion has gone berserk. He stormed Marine Headquarters alone, drawing away a large amount of naval forces."

"Even after the Golden Lion was captured, the Flying Pirates, without their captain, remain a major threat, giving the Navy a huge headache."

"Barrett, the descendant of the devil, has completely gone berserk, turning into a total destroyer..."

"These rampaging pirates have tied up most of the Navy's resources, to the point that their defenses in Loguetown are so weak they're like sieves. A large group of pirates is heading from the Grand Line to the East Blue, and no one can stop them..."

"Heh... The World Government would never have imagined that Roger would outsmart them at the last minute."

"The era of pirates has truly arrived."

Xia Qi, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, commented.

At that moment, the bar door was pushed open, and Sieg walked in alone.

Before he could say anything, Xia Qi said his name with a look of astonishment.

"Wang Xige?"

“You still recognize me? That makes things easier.” Sieg cut to the chase:

"I'm looking for the woman who disappeared on Beehive Island many years ago, Toki Amatsuki."

"Back then, Rocks must have mentioned to you that he wanted you to help take care of Amatsuki, right? In fact, that was something I asked Rocks to do."

He raised his hand and placed the bottle containing the Life Card on the bar. The Life Card fragments moved automatically without wind, pointing towards the back door of the bar.

"Tengetsu should be around here."

Xia Qi paused for a moment.

"As far as I remember, your relationship with Rocks back then wasn't very good..."

"But never mind, after all, Rocks is long gone. You decide the truth, First Mate Wang Xige."

Shakky woke up the Den Den Mushi on the bar and dialed a number.

A moment later, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard.

Tenzuki jogged and pushed open the back door, stepping out. She was wearing a Japanese-style short skirt and a long sword at her waist, and time seemed to have left no trace on her.

"It's been many years, hasn't it?" Sig smiled slightly.

Tianyue Shi was not only still young, but also had no injuries.

“Not many years, it’s 15 years.” Tian Yue Shi stared intently at Xi Ge:

"However, for people like us, time is not too far away."

Sieg nodded; "Speaking of which, I've always wondered, who was it that secretly tried to attack you back on Beehive Island?"

After considering it for a moment, Tian Yueshi said:

"It's a person wearing a tengu mask..."

Sieg paused slightly.

After he became Rocks, he tried to investigate the disappearance of Amezuki, but ultimately failed.

However, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to investigate further.

Sig took out 100 million Berries from his inventory and placed it on the table.

Most of this money was obtained during the Heavenly Gold Incident, which took place during the Rocks Pirates era.

"Xia Qi, this is a thank-you gift."

"I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."

"We should leave."

Sig nodded to Shakky and hurriedly led Amaterasu out.

He didn't know if Rayleigh was in Sabaody Archipelago at this time, and because of Roger, it would be best to leave as soon as possible.

The more people know about Roger's existence, the greater the risk to Siegfried.

.........

A moment later, beside a small boat moored in the harbor of the Sabaody Archipelago.

"So fast? Is she the one you're looking for?"

Roger was surprised.

Sieg simply nodded:

"That's good. Next, we have one last stop to go to."

Sieg turned to look at Roger:

"Next, Roger, let's go find your wife."

"Roger?" Tenzuki's eyes widened slightly.

"Looking for my wife?" Roger's expression was strange.

Only Sieg remained unmoved.

After briefly introducing Tenzuki's abilities and Roger's situation, he continued:

"Roger, after you die, the World Government will not let your descendants off easily."

"The World Government has made up its mind to search for mothers and newborns worldwide. If your child is born on schedule, even Garp will not be able to save him."

When Siegfried played Roger in prison, he also discussed the lines with Roger to recreate history, entrusting his wife to Garp.

"So, the next stop is Baterila Island, which you mentioned before."

As Sieg expected, if the plan proceeded as scheduled, Roger's matter would not consume causal power.

Sig currently has 14 points of causal power remaining, which can still alter the established history to some extent.

The change of fate during the previous Tianyue period consumed a total of 8 points.

Rouge's storyline won't be significantly affected; if changes were to be made, it should require even less effort. We have 14 points of causal power left over, so we might as well use it.

“Listen, this is the second part of the big plan,” Sieg said.

"At this point in time, I don't know where the person with the ability to heal you is, and you don't have enough time to find them."

"Therefore, we will complete this third step in the treatment of terminal illnesses in 12 years."

"Our next plan is to use the power of the Time Fruit to send you all to the future, and we can also take your wife with us."

"Twelve years from now, after you've helped me, I'll help you contact someone with special abilities to try and cure your terminal illness."

Sieg said that.

Roger doesn't have many days left to live.

Only by using the Time-Time Fruit ability of the Heavenly Moon Time Deity to send the terminally ill Roger to the future, and then finding a user with the ability to cure his disease as soon as possible, can there be a glimmer of hope.

"But can we be sure we'll find the right person with the ability 12 years from now? You seem very confident about the future?" Roger grew increasingly suspicious.

Now that things have come to this point, to gain Roger's trust and convince him of the plan's feasibility, more information needs to be provided.

Just as Sieg was about to speak, Tengetsu spoke first, explaining softly:

“Wang Xige is a time-related ability user similar to me.”

"In other words, like him, I don't belong to this era."

"However, I come from the distant past, hundreds of years ago, while he comes from the future."

Chapter 837 Epilogue

In the original history.

Portgas D. Rouge carried her child for 20 months to protect her unborn child from the World Government's worldwide search.

However, she died in childbirth after giving birth to Ace. Ace was then sent by Garp to Windmill Village and raised by the bandit Dadan's family.

Several days later, Sieg and his party arrived at Baterila Island.

In order to minimize the impact on history, everything was carried out under Sieg's plan.

First of all.

Toki, along with Sig and Roger, traveled to the future ten months later, evading the World Government's search.

Subsequently, the other three traveled through time to the future once again.

Rouge, on the other hand, stayed behind alone. In accordance with the promise between Roger and Garp to entrust their children to each other, she met with Garp and was taken care of by him. Several months later, she successfully gave birth to Ace.

Finally, as planned, Rouge gave her newborn Estelle to Garp, putting history back on track.

After all, Rouge's survival has little impact.

But if the newborn Ace had traveled through time with Higurashi and the others, the causal forces might not have been enough to account for it...

Rouge, who survived, committed suicide as a desperate wife who had lost her husband after Garp left.

No remains were found, and there was no way to verify the death.

After doing all this, in the port of Baterila Island late at night, Sig, Toki, and Roger and his wife set off again.

Several days later, they arrived at their final destination.

The City of Seven Waters.
