I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Boss Higuma's grand plan has been in the works for at least 12 years, and he even managed to keep it a secret from the World Government, making the death of the Pirate King a deeply ingrained part of people's minds..."

"No, that's not all." The bald man's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Boss Sigurd also needs to cure the Pirate King, and even secretly contact the Revolutionary Army."

"A living, healthy Pirate King... this sea will probably never be calm again!"

Along the way, the Sig Mountain Pirates had a lot of contact with the Roger Pirates from back then.

Or rather... starting from Windmill Village, everything in Higuma's past has been closely connected to the Roger Pirates, right up to the present!

.........

After a brief conversation with Crocus, Sieg first checked his own condition.

The compatibility of Li Jing's card has exceeded 81%, while the compatibility of Naruto's card has reached 95%.

The compatibility of the Naruto cards was achieved during the years that Sigurd traveled through time, when Dracula's shadow clones gradually built up the Flying Thunder God technique.

Speaking of shadow clones...

"By the way, Higuma knows nothing about the past."

The shadow clones are not synchronized with Sig's main body. Only by dissolving the shadow clones can Sig receive information about Sun Bear.

Currently, the maximum number of shadow clones is one.

In this "present" era, Sig can no longer freely use shadow clones.

Then, Sig's gaze fell on the skill "The First Hero".

The skill "[The Original Hero]" has been grayed out and is no longer available, meaning that Sig can no longer travel through time.

However, there are still 10 points of causal power remaining in the causal power field...

"It seems we can't go back to the past, but is there still some remaining force of cause and effect..."

Sig breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he realize that he was finally safe.

"What have I done... to bring the living Pirate King into this era."

"There are also some survivors among the fifty-six emperors, and this news certainly cannot be kept secret."

Sieg sighed softly.

As always.

His goal was simply to survive and avoid being beaten to death.

In the end, things snowballed and grew bigger and bigger, eventually brewing into a massive wave that overturned the times.

A strange era has arrived, where the 56 Emperors of Impel Down, the Four Emperors of the New World, Shiki the Golden Lion Emperor, the Pirate King, and the Mountain Pirate King of the Sea all coexist.

.......

When the armored pirate ship arrived at the port of Water Seven and reunited with Toki and the others.

Inside the ship's cabin, the fish-man shipwright Tom slowly awoke.

"Am I on a ship?" he murmured.

"Mr. Tom is awake!"

"Mr. Tom, you certainly won't believe it, but we saw someone..."

At this time, Iceberg and Franky were just young men in their early twenties, and they exclaimed with delight when they saw Tom wake up.

Two young men pulled Tom out of the cabin, and then he saw... Roger.

"What happened, Tom!"

Roger looked at the large bump on Tom's head with a serious expression:

"Who beat you up like this?"

Chapter 852 Roger's Treatment Plan for His Terminal Illness

"Who beat you up like this?"

Tom pondered for a while when Roger asked him the question.

As far as I can remember, Sieg invited him to work on a big project: to modify the world's largest ship, the terror tug-of-war.

But Tom stubbornly refused to leave; he wanted to stay and face the final judgment of the World Government with dignity... and then he was knocked unconscious by Barrett.

He remained in Water Seven, partly to continue protecting the Hades blueprints.

After all... Barrett, and even Sieg, are coveting the Hades blueprints he is protecting.

"I remember now----"

Tom had only spoken halfway when he sensed a dangerous gaze.

Barrett was standing behind Roger, staring at him expressionlessly.

"...I injured myself by falling." Tom said helplessly.

Barrett then nodded and said directly:

"Tom, not only is your house gone, but the entire Shipwreck Island is gone too."

"what?!"

"However, before it was swallowed by the tsunami, I used the power of the Fusion-Fusion Fruit to fuse your house as well."

Barrett pointed to the simple giant ship moored next to her. She could see the top of the ship, which was indeed Tom's house on Shipwreck Island.

Thanks to Barrett's powerful Armament Haki protection, the house was not damaged.

“Mr. Tom,” Iceberg explained.

"The Destroyer Ship Island is gone, and we have nowhere to go back."

"So, we have no choice but to take over Sieg's terror three-masted sailboat project."

"Tom, I've heard about what happened to you."

Roger's eyes turned serious:

"The World Government is suing you on the grounds that you built a ship for me, yet you willingly plead guilty."

“I understand your love for the Oro Jackson... and I understand your courage to face death.”

"But do you know why I, despite having a terminal illness, still wanted to live and live to this day?"

Roger looked at Tom, who remained silent.

"My adventure as the Pirate King has ended, and I have no regrets about my pirate career. What kept me going... was my family."

Roger looked at Rouge beside him, his gaze softening slightly.

Tom was silent for a long time before saying, "...I'll think about it carefully."

.......

In Sigurd's plan, there are several people with the ability to potentially cure terminal illnesses.

Law is the user of the Op-Op Fruit. However, he is only 14 years old and probably only recently obtained the fruit; his current whereabouts are unknown.

Mansherry, the tontatta princess of Dressrosa, is the user of the Heal-Heal Fruit. The advanced use of the Heal-Heal Fruit is said to cure all ailments, but the price is the user's lifespan.

Sig had no connection with the dwarfs; the only Devil Fruit user he could find was Ivankov, the user of the Hormone-Hormone Fruit.

While Roger was talking to Tom, Sieg was on a Revolutionary Army ship, discussing matters with the ship's officers.

"Mr. Sig, you wish to see Mr. Ivankov? Unfortunately, he is currently handling important matters with Mr. Dragon in the New World..."

Robin said apologetically.

“A new world…” Sig frowned.

According to Crocus, Roger's condition is worsening, and he has less than a month left to live; the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes.

From here to the New World, that's quite a journey.

Since Roger had helped him out of the predicament as agreed, he had to return the favor.

"So, is the bear with Ivankov?" Sig thought of the bear delivery from a long time ago.

“The Seven Warlords of the Sea can’t possibly be constantly mixed up with the Revolutionary Army,” Robin shook her head.

"Well then... I'll just get straight to the point."

“Robin, the patient’s name is… Roger Wong. He has a terminal illness, and Ivankov may be his only hope.”

"Tell Ivankov about this first, and we'll see how he responds."

Sieg said that.

Although the Revolutionary Army did not participate in his battle with the Fifty-Six Emperors, they watched the battle for some time.

As for the meaning of the name Wang Luojie... perhaps it won't be long before he becomes world-famous.

"I understand." Robin nodded and left, contacting Ivankov, who was in the New World, via Den Den Mushi.

About half an hour later, Robin brought Ivankov's reply.

In order to meet King Roger, who is suspected to be the Pirate King himself, Ivankov and even Dragon himself are willing to put aside their important matters and rush from the New World as soon as possible.

After discussions, both sides agreed to meet at the midpoint between the two sections of the Grand Line.

Sabaody Archipelago.

After the discussion was completed.

The Sigsan Pirates' armored pirate ship, along with the Revolutionary Army's ship and Barrett's ship, set off for Sabaody Archipelago as quickly as possible.

.......

Simultaneously.

On a high-rise building in Water Seven, a pair of eyes were watching them leave.

"Sig has finally left."
