I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Sieg's heart stirred slightly, and he smiled and sighed:

"Speaking of which, it's been more than ten years since I, Wang Xige, last saw Whitebeard."

"Roger, let's go together."

Whitebeard was different from Roger; he was much easier to persuade...

After all, Kozuki Oden was actually a member of Whitebeard's crew; he was just borrowed by Roger for a year.

Whether or not I report Whitebeard's leg doesn't matter; the main thing is to see my old friend in person.

.........

After the banquet, Sig and his party stayed overnight in the Dragon Palace.

Roger was in a hurry to return to the East China Sea, and Sig and the others did not linger for long either.

Early the next morning, before setting sail, Sieg took his men to the Mermaid Cafe.

"You're here again, Sig."

Shirley took a drag of her pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked away from the crystal ball at Sig and the others in front of her.

“Did you foresee my arrival, Shirley?” Sig looked at Shirley in front of him.

At this time, Shirley had just come of age, but her figure was incredibly hot. Her lower body, above the fishtail, had a breathtaking curve, and her waist was so thin that it could be grasped with one hand. Her top was only casually buttoned up, revealing her curves.

This person's appearance and physique are so different from Arlong's that they seem to have never been born of the same mother, and they are even of different races. In fact, it is indeed possible for fish-people parents to give birth to different fish-people or mermaids.

“I wouldn’t use my precognitive abilities here; I just guessed.” Shirley shook her head. “By the way, Arlong isn’t on Fishman Island; he went to sea with Jinbe.”

“Is that so?” Sieg nodded, looking at Shirley in front of him, and suddenly said:

Do you remember the prophecy from last time?

"Last time, you said I'd be sitting in a pile of gold coins, laughing, surrounded by a bunch of little girls..."

Sieg's expression turned slightly cold as he stared at Shirley expressionlessly.

"This prophecy has clearly not come true."

He had mastered the art of bluffing to perfection. Even without uttering any threatening words, the subtle changes in his expression alone exuded an immense sense of pressure.

Furthermore, her current status is far greater than before, and the resulting pressure caused Xia Li's expression to change.

Xia Li couldn't maintain her aloof expression for a moment. She looked away in slight panic, took a drag of her cigarette, and concealed her inner unease.

She certainly remembered what the real prophecy was.

Shirley's true prophecy was seeing Sieg standing amidst the ruins of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, surrounded by black flames.

He destroyed the holy site.

This is Shirley's true prophecy.

After the prophecy came true, Sieg became suspicious of Shirley's previous statements.

"Perhaps my prediction was wrong... After all, predictions don't always come true," Shirley explained reluctantly.

"is it?"

Sieg's lips curled up slightly, but his smile lacked warmth.

Instead of directly exposing Xia Li's lies, he said:

"Then, make one more prophecy for me. I hope this prophecy will not be wrong," Sieg said calmly.

There was a subtle warning in his tone.

Shirley nodded quickly. She stretched out her hands in front of the crystal ball, and the crystal ball lit up again. Shirley's expression was slightly dazed.

“I saw it!” Shirley’s face paled slightly as she looked at Sieg.

"I saw the air shatter... no, space itself shattered like glass, revealing a deep, dark void, and Sieg, with your back to everyone, you walked alone into the crack and disappeared without a trace..."

"Shirley murmured."

“The air is shattered... This prophecy won't be wrong, will it?” Sig asked calmly.

“It won’t go wrong…” Shirley nodded quickly:

"I apologize for the error in the last prediction. Also, there will be no charge for this prediction."

Freebie? I'll come back next time.

A thought crossed Sieg's mind.

Sieg didn't care whether it was a prophecy or not; what mattered was that this prophecy was huge and white...

At the same time, the long-awaited system notification sound rang in my ears.

"New mission activated."

"Mission: Shirley's Prophecy".

"Task objective: Fulfill Shirley's prophecy (0/1)"

"Task reward: One chance to draw a random card."

A new mission has really appeared?

Is the breaking of air or space related to Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit?

Suppressing his inner joy, Sieg maintained a cold expression and gradually walked away.

It was quite a while after he left that Xia Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that her hair was soaked with sweat.

................

When Sieg arrived at the port, Roger and the others were already waiting there.

"Speaking of which, aren't you interested in Shirley's prophecy? Don't you want to see your own future?" Sig asked casually.

Roger decisively shook his head:

"I only want unknown adventures; if the future is known, then it's no fun."

Shanks' eyes lit up slightly:

"Captain Roger is still the same as ever, that's what I think too."

He smiled, and seeing that Sieg and the others had all arrived and were ready to depart, he continued:

“Mr. Sig, Captain Roger, I will not be going to Whitebeard’s territory with you.”

"Given my current status, if I were to continue openly engaging with another Sea Emperor, Sengoku would probably go bald," Shanks chuckled.

The four emperors of the New World each possess their own power, and any contact between them would be a major event that shakes the Navy.

If it's a friendly contact, then the problem is even bigger, and the navy absolutely cannot sit idly by.

"Therefore, I plan to first explore the location of the Serpent Current."

"When the Serpent Current is about to appear, I will use a Den Den Mushi to notify Captain Roger in time," Shanks said.

The Serpent Current, similar to the upwelling current at Gaya Sky Island, is a natural phenomenon along the Grand Line.

Taking the upwelling currents around Gaya Island as an example, they are caused by the unique seabed topography and climate, and therefore only occur in the waters surrounding Gaya Island. The frequency is 5 times a month, and there is a regular cycle.

The currents of the snake-like sea are similar.

Shanks' plan was to figure out the timing of the Serpent Current before Roger did, and then inform Roger, in order to save Roger time.

After the discussion, Sieg and the others embarked on a new voyage once again.

Barrett maneuvered the enormous submarine, enveloping the ships of the Red-Haired Pirates and the Seagull Pirates, breaking through the outer coating of Fish-Man Island, and quickly surfacing into the New World.

........

A sea area in the New World.

On the deck of a small sailboat, a pink-haired woman wearing a panda-face mask let out a soft exclamation.

"What's going on? Why did the direction change again?"

She looked at the fragments of the life card in the glass bottle in her hand.

A few days ago, the fragments of the Vivre Card pointed diagonally downwards into the deep sea, but now the direction has changed again, to another direction at the same altitude.

Hale chimed in, "This means that Sieg was probably on Fishman Island, about 10,000 meters deep in the ocean."

"Now that the direction has changed, it means he has entered a new world."

The woman in the panda mask paused, then turned to look at Hale, a glance that made him instinctively shrink back.

At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

She looked up and saw that the sky, which had been cloudless just moments before, was now filled with thick, white clouds that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

The white clouds were drifting quite fast, and their direction was exactly the same as the direction the Life Card fragments were drifting.

“That’s just how the weather is in the New World.” Hale shrugged.

Fortunately, the clouds in the sky weren't cumulonimbus clouds; otherwise, if this small boat had encountered a storm, things wouldn't have been good at all.

"Shut up!"

She snapped at him, and Hale immediately shut his mouth.

She looked up at the sky, her gaze seemingly piercing through layers of clouds, reaching the very distant heavens.

"There's a floating island moving above the clouds... Hmm? It doesn't seem to be an ordinary floating island..."

She frowned, seemingly somewhat confused.

Chapter 896 That bitch with the white beard is stealing my man again.

“Sky Island...you know about Sky Island too?” Hale was taken aback.

The existence of the Sky Island is unknown to the world.

As a former member of the Rocks Pirates, he had only heard of Skypiea but had never actually set foot on it.

The pink-haired woman beside him seemed to know more about Sky Island than he did.
