I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

She remained silent, a look of sadness in her eyes:

"I really envy you."

"Actually, I also have an animal friend like your cat..."

"The pirate Jupiter destroyed my village, and now he is my only friend."

Sig had no interest in listening to the strange girl's ramblings; his gaze, however, fell on her face, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"You wouldn't happen to be Nami, would you?" Sig asked, somewhat incredulously.

The girl's appearance is about 70-80% similar to the Donghai version of Nami, except that her hair color is blue.

"What a low-class way to start a conversation." The blue-haired girl shook her head with a look of disgust.

My name is Ann.

Sieg shook his head, not thinking much of it.

After all, all the beautiful women in the pirate world look pretty much the same.

It's either Nami's face or Robin's face.

The blue-haired girl in front of me, named Ann, does resemble Nami a bit, but that's perfectly normal...

Sieg put aside his doubts and continued to ask:

Is this a pirate ship?

The blue-haired girl nodded, somewhat surprised.

"Don't you even know why you were arrested?"

Sieg nodded casually, then asked:

Which pirate crew does this ship belong to?

"Sorcerer, the Pirates of Jupiter with Six Corners... It seems you really don't know anything, you don't even know who you've messed with."

The blue-haired girl sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

[The Sorcerer] Jupiter with six horns? Is he a power user like the magician Hawkins? I've never heard of that name before.

Sieg thought for a moment, then, enduring the pain, he stood up, leaning against the wall. He had only taken one step when he felt a strange, sticky sensation under his feet, as if he had stepped on chewing gum.

Upon closer inspection... there were still traces of blood, not quite dry, on the wooden prison floor.

Sieg shifted his gaze from the soles of his feet to the prison bars in front of him, tapped them lightly with his finger, and weighed them carefully.

Ding ding ding.

The crisp sound echoed through the small prison.

"Hey, what are you doing?" the blue-haired girl exclaimed in surprise.

"You'll attract the pirates under Jupiter's command if you do that!"

Sig, however, withdrew his hand contentedly, leaned back against the fence, and sat down on the floor.

He can finally relax now.

Judging from the feel and sound, the fence was not the sea stone fence he had expected, but just an ordinary solid steel fence.

Let alone ability users, even a slightly stronger pirate couldn't be controlled by such a fence.

From the fence, Sig could roughly gauge that the pirates on board weren't very strong, so he simply sat down to rest.

"You need to eat something."

When he was besieged by the navy, Sieg deliberately left a little bit of rations in his inventory, enough to last him for a few days.

The effect of the ability 【Feast for Battle】 is very weak; only by consuming a large amount of food can one recover a small amount of injury.

This amount of food is not enough to heal his injuries, but if he were stranded on a deserted island like Sanji, it would be the last rations to save his life—this was Higuma's previous consideration.

As for now...

Thinking of this, Sieg ignored the blue-haired girl in the corner, and with a flash of his hand, a large chicken leg appeared, which he then began to gnaw on.

Sig did not eat while time was stopped. In that state, Sig was unable to move and his posture was fixed. He was like a piece of livestock being forced to eat chaff, which was an extremely bad experience.

"You... how can you conjure things out of thin air? Are you a sorcerer too?"

The blue-haired girl looked surprised.

"Shouldn't people suspect that I'm a Devil Fruit user?"

Sieg asked casually.

The words had barely left his mouth when a loud "chirp" came from outside the porthole.

As if electrocuted, the blue-haired girl immediately ran to the round porthole and looked out through it:

"It's Baron! It came looking for me again!" The blue-haired girl's face showed urgency.

"Jubiel arrested me because of Baron!"

Sieg also glanced out the porthole and saw a strangely shaped large bird flapping its wings in the sky.

This large bird has black and white plumage, with jet-black wings and a snow-white body, and its face looks almost exactly like a panda's.

"Oh, are these panda birds very expensive?" Sig felt that this strange panda bird looked somewhat familiar, so he took a closer look.

At the same time, he reached out and gently scratched the blue and white cat's chin. The blue and white cat, which had been very angry just now, was now comfortably tilting its head back and squinting its eyes.

"Hehe, you were very angry just now, but after a few more rubs, your body is still very honest."

Sig thought to himself.

Compared to the oddly-looking panda bird, the blue and white cat feels better to hold.

“It’s not a matter of whether it’s expensive or not, it’s that it’s extremely rare…” the blue-haired girl argued.

"Baron is its name. This panda bird is called Luke, and it's the last Luke bird in the world, even rarer than a giant panda..."

The blue-haired girl paused here, then suddenly stared at Sieg with suspicion:

"Aren't you a sorcerer? Why don't you even know Luke the Bird?"

Sieg paused, about to answer, when he heard footsteps outside the prison.

Several burly men dressed as sailors approached, unlocking the door while speaking to the blue-haired girl:

"Behave yourself, Captain Juppie wants to see you. Don't try anything funny..."

Halfway through unlocking the door, they were surprised to find Sig standing next to them:

"You're awake? Behave yourself and don't do anything unnecessary."

“Okay.” Sig nodded honestly, doing nothing and letting the girl named Anne be taken away.

"Can't you help me? Just watch me get taken away?" the girl asked.

"Since you're a sorcerer... if you help me kill the six-horned Jupiter, I can pay you!"

An even specifically mentioned the term "sorcerer," causing the burly men next to him to change color slightly.

But seeing Sieg slumped against the wall, covered in blood, their courage grew again.

Sieg said calmly, "You're right, I shouldn't have just watched you get arrested."

So Sieg closed his eyes.

"You..." The girl Ann was so angry that she trembled all over, but she was helpless and was taken away by the pirates.

Sig was the only one left in the prison.

He thought for a moment, then took out a second large chicken leg from his inventory and continued to gnaw on it.

For Sieg right now, healing is the most important thing.

If he were to stand up for himself, it would be too embarrassing for him, a mountain bandit king, to not only fail to die at the hands of the admirals but also to be defeated by pirates whose names he had never even heard of.

Sig continued to gnaw on chicken legs in prison.

The noise outside gradually grew louder.

Not long after, the pirates escorted the blue-haired girl back to the prison.

This time, however, she had one more cellmate.

This is a black-haired boy wearing a straw hat, who looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a red vest and blue denim shorts... a familiar outfit and a familiar appearance.

"Luffy?" Sigurd was startled and subconsciously called out the person's name.

Did he actually travel directly to the era when Luffy has grown up?

But what surprised him even more was Luffy's reaction.

"You know me? Who are you again?"

Luffy tilted his head, stared at Sigurd with wide eyes, looking confused.

"You don't recognize me?" Sig asked, a little puzzled.

Although he has changed his face, he is still a notorious bandit. Logically speaking, even if Luffy is in some remote, impoverished area of ​​the East Blue, he should have seen his current face on the wanted posters.

Sieg was puzzled for a moment, but then he noticed something was wrong.

There is a small scar under Luffy's eyelid.

This is a knife he made when he was a child, to prove his manliness to Shanks.

But the Luffy in front of him looked exactly like the Luffy in Higuma's memory, except for the scar under his eyelid.

"The Imitation Fruit? The Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit? No, that's not right..."

A series of guesses arose in Sieg's mind, and he fell into deep thought.

The pirates left, and the three of them squeezed into this small prison.

Sig's gaze fell on Luffy, then on Anne, the girl next to him who looked a lot like the blue-haired Nami. The sense of absurdity in his heart became more and more obvious.

"Luffy, where did you get that straw hat? I think I've seen a similar straw hat on the head of some great pirate before?" Sig asked tentatively.

Luffy immediately became interested:

"You know my grandfather Garp? He's the one who gave me this hat."
