I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Therefore, Blackwing Tengu is using Sig's previous lies as a pretext.

Sieg completely ignored the increasingly unpleasant expression on the other side, and turned to look at the bald man behind him:

Where was I?

In fact, he really did intend to stall for time.

"I just hope Roger won't be late. If he is, then all the previous preparations will have been for nothing."

Roger was terminally ill, and he didn't even know how long he had left to live; it could only be calculated in days.

Therefore, Toki was leading Roger and his wife to try their best to get closer to the day when Sig was besieged by the fifty-six emperors.

However, Tianyue Shi's abilities are not yet precise enough to pinpoint a specific day or even an hour 11 years in the future.

Before Roger arrives and shares the burden, he has to find a way to detour himself.

“Boss Sig, you just said… you wanted to have a good talk with them about the old days, about how you defeated them many years ago,” the bald man replied.

Sig nodded, and after the bald man reminded him, he also remembered what had happened before.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" Barrett, being impatient, urged directly.

"If you want a real confrontation, stop with the formalities. Let's not talk about recent wins and losses. When have I, Barrett, ever been defeated by you before?"

Sieg remained calm and composed.

He simply glanced down at the wine glass in his hand and let go of it.

Clang.

The crisp sound startled everyone.

The wine glass crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces and splashing wine everywhere.

"This drink has really caused trouble," Sieg said sincerely, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease."

"I originally just wanted to live a peaceful life and be an ordinary, reclusive mountain king in the mountains."

“I didn’t want to bring up our past together again…” Sieg raised his hand to his forehead.

He sighed softly, gently rubbed his face, and his voice was weary.

"For so many years, I have tried to suppress my appearance and start a new life as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was suspicion."

As he spoke, Sieg had already removed his hand from his forehead.

Character card: Sig, skin removed.

Everyone was shocked.

His face had changed as Sieg removed his hand.

This is the face of a young man in his twenties, with handsome features and an extraordinary temperament; the style of the painting changes instantly.

There seemed to be an indescribable aura about them that inexplicably drew their attention.

The dramatic change in style between the before and after images drew the attention of everyone present.

after all...

Previously, Sigurd was just an ordinary-looking guy, around thirty or fifty years old, and in terms of looks, he was on par with Admiral Kizaru.

But this sudden change in style gave them a strange feeling, as if they had suddenly wandered onto the wrong film set.

"you....."

"He can change his expression?"

"Is this also one of Higuma's Devil Fruit abilities? Damn, how many Devil Fruits did he eat?"

The originally aggressive crowd paused slightly, many of them frowning, a vague emotion stirring within them.

They stared intently at Sieg's face, something seemed to surface in their memories, something they wanted to say, but couldn't quite put their finger on.

"This face... seems familiar?"

Kurokos, standing at the back of the crowd, also had a deep frown on his face.

The arrival of the Fifty-Six Emperors caused such a commotion that Crocus and the other members of the mountain bandit group also rushed over.

Crocus knew that Sig had the ability to change his face when he first met him at Twin Capes, but this face gave him a sense of déjà vu.

He hesitated for a moment, then uttered a name.

"Wang Xige?"

The whispering crowd seemed to have suddenly stopped, falling into complete silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Blackwing Tengu's expression changed drastically; he turned and stared intently at Crocus, who had suddenly spoken:

"Say it again, what was the name you just said?"

"This face is clearly Wang Xige...if he hasn't gotten old."

Kurokas ignored the Black Winged Tengu's questions and stared intently at Sig, feeling a buzzing in his head.

Chapter 839 A Legendary Pirate Walking Between History

The moment the name Wang Xige was mentioned, the entire audience was stunned.

Even the sky began to darken, and a breeze started to pick up.

Looking at Sig's younger face, Crocus recalled the scene when he first met Sig at Twin Capes.

"Was it him? Back then, Higuma said he had contacted our Roger Pirates under a different guise... but..."

Crocus was in a state of utter confusion.

Others reacted in different ways.

"Wang Xige? Who is that?"

"Never heard of this name before..."

The bandits behind Sig were completely bewildered. They weren't that old and didn't know much about pirates from the old days.

Only a few people, such as Crocdale and Stussy, were shaken.

"How could he be Wang Xige?"

The fifty-six emperors had varying expressions, some solemn, some gloomy, and some questioning.

"No...impossible."

It was Blackwing Tengu who calmed down first.

"It's just a face."

"This face does indeed look exactly like Wang Xige's back then, but does that prove that you are Wang Xige?"

"Don't forget, among the prisoners in Impel Down, there is one person who possesses the ability to change his appearance."

The person Blackwing Tengu was referring to was naturally the Moon Hunter, Katarina Demi.

As a user of the Mythical Zoan-type Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, she does indeed possess the ability to change her appearance.

During the Impel Down war, Crescent Moon Hunter joined Shiki's pirate crew and did not appear here.

After hearing Blackwing Tengu's words, the other powerful figures calmed down a bit and nodded in agreement.

"good."

"That's unlikely. I also think it's impossible for Wang Xige to be him."

The fifty-six emperors nodded in unison, having reached a consensus.

This reaction was beyond Sieg's expectations.

"How could this be? Are they stubbornly refusing to admit it, or is Zhang San's effect stronger than I imagined?"

Sig glanced at the panel.

Possession Card: Zhang San

Source: Criminal Law

Quality: S-grade

Limit: 5 attempts, no time limit (1 attempt remaining)

Character restriction: Yourself

ability:

Outlaw – Zhang San is clearly just a code name. Everyone knows you are Zhang San, but no one knows your real name. Your actions during this period of aliasing will not be linked to your true identity.

The long arm of the law will eventually catch up with you—when the truth is revealed, the "outlaw" will be rendered ineffective.

First suspect ------- (omitted)

The effect of "Outlaw" is to completely separate the identities of Sig and King Sig, so that they will not be associated in other people's perceptions.

But now it seems to have the opposite effect.

Even if Sieg admits it himself, the people in front of him instinctively deny reality.

Sig had discussed with Roger and others how to deal with the Fifty-Six Emperors when their past journey was coming to an end.

But what happened was not in Sieg's plan.

Just as Sieg was having a bit of a problem, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Why do these great pirates from Impel Down react so strongly when they mention Wang Sieg?"

A glint of wisdom flashed in the bald man's eyes at that moment:

"Could it be that the Fifty-Sixth Emperor was truly a defeated opponent of 'King Sig'? Is that why he reacted so strongly?"

Upon hearing these words, many of the fifty-six emperors blushed deeply.

Many of them, though pirates, still had a sense of shame and couldn't bring themselves to deny their past defeats.
