I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"But compared to neutron stars in the deeper reaches of the universe, a mere 10,000 tons is simply insignificant."

"Neutron stars are the second densest celestial bodies, weighing hundreds of millions to billions of tons per cubic centimeter."

"You don't know about the Ton-Ton Fruit, but you do know about Rocks' Dark-Dark Fruit, right?"

Roger and the others finally nodded.

"Rocks claimed he could transform into a black hole, but his meager power was insignificant compared to a real black hole deep in the universe."

"Black holes are the densest celestial bodies, even denser than neutron stars. Not even light can escape them. If Rocks could really become a humanoid black hole, the Grand Line... no, the entire planet would be easily torn apart and distorted by his power."

"Human power can certainly not compare to the power of nature... But what does what you're saying have to do with the fact that the current bandit king is a stand-in?" Roger asked.

“What if… someone possessed the power to capture stars and the moon?” Sig replied.

He waved his hand as soon as he finished speaking:

"You're right, we've indeed gone a bit off-topic. These things aren't worth mentioning."

“No, it’s okay to say a little more.” Roger’s curiosity was growing.

"Take the story as a snack with your drinks; I'm always very patient," Roger chuckled.

“I enjoy listening to stories, and it doesn’t matter if your story is a bit long.”

Seeing Roger Reilly's insistence, Sieg began to speak:

"Alright, as you wish, I'll go into more detail."

"This story begins in the multiverse..."

"Wh...what multiverse?" Roger was a little confused.

He felt that the conversation might be going off-topic, but his curiosity kept him patiently listening.

"The universe is vast, but even more vast is the multiverse and endless dimensions."

"On this planet, perhaps no one has the power to capture stars and the moon, but looking at the universe, or even the multiverse and endless dimensions, that may not be the case."

A look of reminiscence appeared in Sieg's eyes:

"You will never believe what I have seen."

"I have witnessed a thousand-meter-long steel warship catch fire and burn on the boundless earth."

"I have witnessed great stars fall and crumble, galaxies shatter, and even the Great Dao itself be obliterated..."

On this day, Roger, Rayleigh, and the others learned a lot of strange and wonderful knowledge, as well as a glimpse into the grand adventure of the Mountain Bandit King that spanned time and space.

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

Day two.

When Sieg woke up, he found himself on the sorcerer's ship, and his head still ached a little.

"I think he drank yesterday..."

Sig rubbed his temples, trying to recall what had happened yesterday... but he couldn't remember.

He checked his own condition first, and then he was shocked.

Usopp's card value jumped from 95% to 99%, and it's almost at the point of being full.

Meanwhile, the Chuunibyou card, also known as the Togashi Yuta card, has broken through the 80% mark and has also developed a new ability.

Character Card: Yuta Togashi

Quality: SS grade

Source: Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions

ability:

Chuunibyou Power – Performing chuunibyou actions accumulates chuunibyou energy. When the energy reaches 50, the ability [Dark Flame Master] can be temporarily activated. The maximum chuunibyou energy gauge is twice the compatibility percentage.

Dark Flame Master (Stage 4) – The Dark Flame Master, wielding the power of dark flames, intensely consumes chuunibyou energy to pull enemies into their inner world for a short period of time to fight. Believe it or not. Requires 150 chuunibyou energy.

Sieg was deeply moved.

He remembered that the third phase began during the Impel Down wars. It must have been over a million words long by then.

Sig always felt something was missing, and it turns out it was the drinking part!

Wine is such a wonderful thing!

"Actually, it's okay to drink occasionally. After all, this is the world of Lies Mountain Bandits, and bragging doesn't cost anything."

In the past... Sieg might have been more cautious.

But here, Sieg doesn't care about so much.

In short, it's all Sigma's fault.

If it weren't for his lingering attachment to the One Piece world, Higuma could have lived a peaceful life here simply by changing his face.

He got up and walked onto the deck, the pirates looking at him with utmost awe.

"Lord Sigma..."

"Lord Bandit King!"

"Emperor Sigmar!"

The titles were increasingly exaggerated, but Sieg didn't care.

But he soon stopped in his tracks as he saw a familiar face.

"Alara, it's been a long time, Mr. Sigma, you're finally awake."

Aokiji also appeared on the deck, staring directly at Sig with a lazy smile on his face:

"Dr. Vegapunk is waiting for your panda bird. I didn't expect you to be the one to take action for this bounty... Anyway, come with me."

"Hmm..." Sig narrowed his eyes, sweat beading on his back.

Although we are at sea now, Aokiji's ability can easily freeze the sea. Catching a blade bare-handed underwater is not easy, and Aokiji is not easy to deal with.

More importantly... judging from his tone, is Aokiji in cahoots with him?

Chapter 961 The Abilities of the Mountain Bandit King Sigma

Vegapunk's research base is located on the same island as Loguetown, but further inland.

Sig followed Aokiji, accompanied by Ann, the panda bird Baron, and the blue and white cat.

After meeting Aokiji, Zoro took the reward of ten million Berries and left.

Meanwhile, the sorcerer and other pirates, whose memories had been erased by hypnosis, were waiting at the port of Loguetown for their execution two days later.

Their departure also caught the attention of the Roger Pirates.

"Aokiji took Sigma away, saying he was going to take him to see Vegapunk... What's going on?"

"Shouldn't he expose that man immediately?"

Rayleigh had his doubts.

Yesterday, although they listened to a lot of talk from Sieg, whom they had just met, they naturally couldn't believe everything that this stranger said.

But Aokiji's actions made things even more confusing.

"In any case, I hope we won't become enemies with that man on the battlefield," Roger said.

The others remained silent.

Even Barrett, the most combative among them, remained silent at this moment, surprisingly not uttering any objections.

After all... this man who calls himself the true King of the Mountain Bandits' moves are just too ruthless...

...........

Vegapunk's research base is heavily guarded, with a silver-white alloy gate and high walls tens of meters high. It is not only imposing but also exudes a futuristic feel, making it seem like something out of the One Piece world. The art style is completely different.

Along the way, inside the research institute, there were also white-clad pacifists who looked exactly like Tyrant Bear patrolling. Sig alone saw dozens of them.

"The white-clad Pacifistas... I wonder to what extent Vegapunk of this world has modified the Pacifistas..."

Sig thought to himself.

He knew Vegapunk from the One Piece world; Punk Hazard's research base had appeared in the original storyline.

Judging from its appearance and the patrol team of dozens of pacifists, the technological level of this research base should far surpass that of the Punk Hazard research base in the One Piece world.

“Bringing the bird here was definitely the right decision.”

With Aokiji leading the way, instead of forcing their way in, there's certainly no problem.

After entering the gate, they quickly passed through multiple security checkpoints and entered the central building of the research base.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a white lab coat and impeccably groomed, was already waiting in the conference room.

His appearance was exactly the same as Vegapunk in Sieg's memory.

"Aokiji, take this little girl and wait here. I have something to discuss with Mr. Sigma in private."

"Vegapunk gave the order."

Aokiji nodded. He took An away and closed the conference room door behind him before leaving.

"So, you're Sigma, the bandit king who made a big splash at Loguetown Port yesterday?"

Vegapunk turned around and scrutinized Sieg, his eyes scanning him through his glasses.

This attitude... clearly shows that he knows Roger is not the real Bandit King Sigma, but he just hasn't exposed him.

"There's no need to deny it right away. There are no outsiders here, and I have no ill intentions."

"Vegapunk said calmly."

"Yesterday, you made contact with the Roger Pirates on your ship outside Loguetown. Is that related to the execution day in two days?"

"Although I don't know what your relationship is with the Roger Pirates or the Rocks Pirates, if your goal is to defeat the Mountain Bandit King Sigma, then you'll be of great help."

"He's probably also craving an opponent. The previous sea overlord, the Pirate King, plus you guys as surprise troops, it's just right."

Before Siegfried could respond, Vegapunk continued speaking rapidly:
