I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Quality: Grade C

Ability: Inflicts minor injuries on oneself and disguises them as serious or fatal wounds.

Sig: ....

"I will never breastfeed indiscriminately again."

Sigurd fused the two cards of the Sword of Self-Destruction, and with a flash of golden light, the Noble Phantasm was enhanced, and a brand new card emerged.

Item Card: Sword of Suicide

Quality: C+ grade

Ability: To inflict minor injuries on oneself and to fake any level of injury, including death.

After the second Noble Phantasm enhancement, the description of the Sword of Self-Destruction has become broader, which is really useful.

"It's alright, it's just a stepping stone."

"As the saying goes, extremes meet, and the key is the random Emperor card you draw next!"

"Now that things have come to this, as long as I can draw Whitebeard's character card, I can immediately live a peaceful life of taking in daughters everywhere!"

Sieg has grasped hope.

Let the gacha draw begin!

The starlight before him kept converging, and the scattered points of light turned into a dazzling ball of light.

Then, a golden card was born, with shimmering light overflowing like ripples on water.

Just as Sieg was expecting, the card suddenly flipped over!

When he saw the card, Sieg was surprised again.

The card depicts a man dressed in black with black bat wings on his back.

The man's upper face was completely bat-like, while his lower face was a normal human shape. At first glance, he looked like a dark version of Tong Dawei, but upon closer inspection, he looked like a cheap Batman cosplay by a 300-pound fat guy.

He looked like a complete nobody, but Sieg knew how terrifying this man was.

The true Sixth Emperor has appeared!

Well known.

The title of Fifth Emperor is merely a fabrication by Morgans; in terms of actual strength, Kaido could easily defeat him with a single blow.

But the sixth emperor was different.

On the surface, Bat King is a subordinate of Holdem, a true fighter under Kaido of the Beasts, and an unnamed combatant in the Gifters' army.

But in reality, he is Kaido's hidden trump card.

In the anime, the nameless Bat King single-handedly suppressed both the Fifth Emperor Luffy and Zoro, and then easily predicted and blocked Luffy's attack imbued with Haki, leaving unharmed.

He was very disappointed by Luffy's weak strength, the Fifth Emperor, and exclaimed, "This is outrageous!"

"The Sixth Emperor... that's fine too."

"When I draw Whitebeard next time, I'll kill all the Admirals and the Four Emperors and live a peaceful life."

Sig sighed softly and returned to reality.

The fleet is still heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

Next, Sieg pondered for a moment, then left a note for Rixiong in his inventory, reminding him to use the last chance to use the Outlaw Zhang Sanka card.

Zhang San had a total of 5 chances, which he used for 5 different identities.

Wang Xige, Dracula, Rocks, Roger who surrendered, and the last one left to Sun Bear.

So far, only Wang Xige's identity has been exposed, and Xige himself revealed it.

If Higuma had used the three cards earlier, perhaps Vegapunk wouldn't have discovered his identity.

"Being exposed by Vegapunk is a mixed blessing."

"If he is trustworthy, then it's like having a partner inside the core of the World Government."

Sieg leaned against the ship's railing, lost in thought.

Before he knew it, he saw Roger and Rouge walking towards him.

“Mr. Wang Xige…” Rouge spoke first.

“From now on, call me Sig. That’s my real name,” Sig said.

“Mr. Sig, there’s something that’s been bothering me. It’s about Ace,” Rouge said first.

"These past few days on the ship, I've heard that Mr. Sig, your hometown is the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea."

"Before Ace was born, I heard Mr. Garp mention this place. He planned to hide Ace there and raise him..."

"So, Mr. Sig, have you met Ace?" Rouge asked eagerly.

Rouge feels guilty towards Ace, as she was forced to abandon him when he was just born and left with Roger.

Because of time travel, for Rouge, abandoning Ace and leaving was only about a week ago.

Sig paused for a moment.

"I have met him, but Ace is only 10 years old, a rebellious age..."

At this point, Sieg seemed to remember something, frowned, and turned to look at Roger:

"Roger, besides Garp, Whitebeard was also the only one in this world who could have protected Ace from birth in your place."

"Why don't you consider giving Estor to him?"

Sieg asked, puzzled.

Garp and Whitebeard were the only two people in the world who could protect Ace and had a close relationship with Roger.

No matter how you look at it, Whitebeard is a million times more reliable than Garp.

“This…” Roger looked helpless.

"I had no choice either. You know Whitebeard."

"If I give Ace to Whitebeard, then Ace will probably become Whitebeard's son!"

Roger shook his head:

"If I hadn't survived, it would have been better for Ace to be Whitebeard's son than to lose his life. But since I did survive..."

Roger didn't finish his sentence, but the annoyance in his words was quite obvious.

“Karp may seem muddle-headed, but he’s not entirely a brute,” Roger explained.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have entrusted my child to him."

A mere brute could not possibly protect Roger's wife and son silently under the very nose of the World Government's global manhunt for Roger's orphans.

Garp wasn't the kind of person who couldn't tolerate any flaws; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Roger's final request.

"You're quite good at judging people; Garp definitely didn't treat Ace as his son." Sig couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Garp treated Ace like his grandson."

"Grand...grandson?"

Roger's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"That bastard Garp... I treated him as a friend, but he wants to be my son's grandfather?"

"Damn it! I must live! I can't let Ace fall into his hands!"

Roger's eyes widened, instantly filled with a will to survive.

“Having a will to live is a good thing.” The ship’s doctor, Crocus, had appeared at some point.

He looked at Roger, his eyes gleaming:

“Roger, you’re different now, but that’s not a bad thing.”

"I had heard of Ivankov, the man of miracles, who was able to save patients with incurable diseases."

Crocus explained:

“I heard that he heals people not with medical skills, but with the power of his Devil Fruit. Sig should know this better than I do.”

Sieg nodded:

"He's not exactly a proper doctor, and the hormone fruit isn't a cure-all."

"The so-called 'healing hormone' is a hormone that relies on stimulating the patient's own vitality to heal from the disease."

The matter of Banchina back then is a separate issue.

For patients with truly incurable terminal illnesses, this means consuming 10 years of their lifespan with only a 1%-2% chance of success.

so...

The one who created the miracle was not Ivankov, the "miracle man," but the patient himself.

The 1%-2% cure rate for terminal illnesses is Ivankov's statistic, but it is not a fixed probability that depends purely on luck.

“The stronger the will to survive, the stronger the vitality, the stronger the willpower, the greater the chance of surviving by relying on the [healing hormone],” Sig explained.

Crocus nodded:

"Good. So during the rest of your treatment, make sure you're in the best possible condition to prepare for the treatment."

at this time.
