I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

In the end, it was Hale, the Undying King, who was the first to step forward and admit it.

“Young man, you’re right. The truth is even more so than you imagine.”

“Many of us were sent to Impel Down by Wang Xige, either personally or indirectly.”

“But this is different.” Hale said in a low voice:

"Wang Xige is a legend."

"If we say that Pirate King Roger swept across the entire era and became a legend at the pinnacle of the era."

"Then Wang Xige is a legend who walks through history and stands before the thrones of various eras."

Hale's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he sighed:

"During the era of the sea tyrant Rocks, he was the first mate personally appointed by Rocks, placing him above Whitebeard, Shiki, and others..."

According to Hale, Wang Sieg has become a legend.

During Rocks' era, he shone even brighter than Whitebeard and Shiki, becoming a figure comparable to the Pirate King.

The fifty-sixth emperor was completely bewildered by Hale's words.

They just didn't understand... how did they start bragging about it?

Wang Xige's strength and achievements are indeed impressive, but to say that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the unprecedented Pirate King is an exaggeration.

The key is...

Regardless of whether the current Sieg is related to the historical King Sieg, they were all hit on the head with a bottle by King Sieg, so their relationship with King Sieg can hardly be considered good.

Sig was also confused.

Even though he's thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Excuse me, could you please sing a few more lines...?"

"Go harder! I love to hear that!" he shouted in his heart.

Hale continued seriously:

"Later, he fell out with Rocks, and even Rocks couldn't kill him. Rocks died, but he remained active during Roger's time."

"In the old days, I was known as the 'Undying King' because I could always escape death no matter what kind of danger I faced."

“But Wang Xige is different. He has died many times and disappeared many times, but he always reappears inexplicably.”

At this point, Hale's tone became much heavier:

"His fame may not be comparable to that of Roger, Rocks, Shiki, and Whitebeard, who once stood at the pinnacle of their era and commanded the strongest pirate crews of their time."

"But in terms of mystery and the ability to survive, I, the Undying King Hale, would call him the strongest!"

Hale, head held high and chest out, declared loudly:

"It's not shameful to have been defeated by Wang Xige!"

The voice was powerful and resounding, echoing far and wide.

After these words were spoken, the faces of the bald bandits and others changed.

"So there was such a great pirate in history."

"That sounds really impressive."

"He's a legendary pirate... He's quite a big shot."

The discussions among these mountain bandits stirred the minds of the fifty-six emperors.

Someone stepped forward to add:

"Don't listen to Hale's nonsense. Survival ability might not sound like a very strong ability, but you have to consider the opponents Wang Xige faced before!"

"It's Rocks! It's Roger!"

"I even doubt that Whitebeard or Shiki could defeat him!"

“That’s right. Although he was defeated by him, Wang Xige’s strength is beyond doubt.” Someone nodded, head held high, exuding an imposing aura.

Lonely Red Red listened dumbfounded as everyone suddenly started praising Wang Xige, somewhat bewildered.

He distanced himself from people, was rather aloof, and didn't have many hidden agendas, so he couldn't see through other people's thoughts at all.

So... he decided to cheat.

His Observation Haki subtly unfolded, allowing him to hear the thoughts of those around him.

"I, the Undying King Hale, have been the undisputed king of single-handedly pushing Sieg since birth!"

My inner thoughts: As long as I keep praising Wang Xige, I won't have any flaws about my defeat at his hands. Heh, anyway, I personally witnessed that guy die in the mouth of a Sea King, and a dead man can't jump out and refute me.

Redfield was utterly shocked.

“Wang Xige is indeed very strong.” The Sun Warrior nodded: “More than 40 years ago, I fought him to the death under the setting sun on the Red Line. Although I lost, I was still honored.”

My inner thoughts: Damn, how come Hale's brain works so fast? I didn't even think of such a crazy idea.

“That’s right. Wang Xige is indeed very strong, and he was active even before Rocks. I met him 45 years ago, before Rocks formed his pirate crew.” Rum chuckled.

My inner thoughts: I really want to see him one more time, to drink one more sip of his wine... but he's dead.

"Really? It seems Wang Xige's power is still beyond our imagination. He was active from before the Rocks era all the way to the early Great Pirate Era..."

"Although I was indirectly sent to Impel Down by him, his spirit is truly admirable, reminding one of Roger back then."

"Beside Wang Xige, there is also a legendary mythical beast, the Azure Dragon, fighting alongside him. It is terrifyingly powerful."

"Do you know about mythical beasts? They're roughly on the level of Kaido of the Beasts."

"During the battle on Scarborough Island, that blue dragon single-handedly held off Kaido. I think its strength, even if not as great as Kaido's, was about the same."

"Wang Xige will always be our first mate."

"Wang Xige, he is a legend who has vanished. He was the man behind Rocks, who single-handedly separated the fierce battle between Rocks and Roger!"

He has been on the ships of the Rocks Pirates, the Roger Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates. He has had close ties with the strongest figures of each era.

"He was a traveler walking behind the scenes of history, with no intention of chasing the throne, but people of our time all remember his name!"

Listening to the thoughts of those around him, Redfield belatedly realized the truth.

If we elevate "Wang Xige" to a level comparable to Rocks and Roger, then being defeated by him and sent to prison by him would no longer be a disgrace.

Roger and Rocks both swept across an entire era, and many of the Fifty-Six Emperors were their defeated opponents, or even their subservient subordinates.

But will this damage their reputation?

It's not shameful to be defeated by a truly invincible powerhouse.

But there is a premise to this.

Only the dead become legends.

The deceased Rocks was a sea tyrant who ushered in an era, while the deceased Roger was the Pirate King who started the Great Pirate Era.

Even Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world during this era, still has many who are not convinced.

"These people are too outrageous... although I don't think Sig is King Sig either."

Redfield covered his face with his hands.

"Hey, Redfield, say something too."

"I remember you fought him before, and you lost too," someone said, drawing many glances.

Redfield paused, then heard their thoughts.

"They're trying to drag me down with them. This whole group is lying, and if I don't say anything, I'll be the odd one out. What a despicable thought."

"No wonder he's a prisoner of the Infinite Hell... If we're talking about the culprit, it's still that giant cockroach. He single-handedly led us all astray. It's terrifying."

Redfield frowned.

He has always been aloof and unwilling to associate with such people.

"Redfield, I've always been curious, what was the name of the move that Sig used to defeat you? You seemed to lose in just one move?" Hale teased at this moment.

"I think his name was Immortal..."

Redfield's expression turned serious, and he quickly interrupted him:

"It is a supreme sword technique capable of encompassing the power of heaven and earth, the Great Power!"

"Although I was defeated by him and lost some of my strength, I was still able to fight and defeat the then Fleet Admiral Kong in a one-on-one duel!"

After saying this, he noticed the expressions on the faces of those around him and immediately looked much better.

Redfield, however, suddenly felt a flush on his face and instinctively turned his head away...

How embarrassing!

No... this isn't exactly a lie... at most it's a bit of an exaggeration!

.......

Listening to the fifty-six emperors singing in unison, Baldy and the others were completely stunned.

The Great Pirate Era began 12 years ago.

The golden age of that time is long gone and is now known as the old era.

The era of Lox is even further back in time.

They knew absolutely nothing about these things.

Listening to the old-fashioned bigwigs praising them, they immediately believed them.

"What a glorious old era it was."

"It seems that such a figure still exists, even more dazzling than the era ruled by the Four Emperors in our time."

Sig listened silently, his feelings... were quite complicated.

"I never imagined that the Fifty-Sixth Emperor thought of me this way?"

"But why didn't I hear them bragging about me like that back then? Did they develop Stockholm Syndrome after I hit them with a bottle, and awaken some strange traits in Impel Down?"

Sieg suddenly felt a touch of emotion.
