I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The burly man at the head of the group smiled and pushed an unopened bottle of beer in front of Sieg.

"Since we're all on the same side, let's have a drink."

He raised the beer bottle and said with a smile.

"No need for alcohol," Sieg shook his head, raising a glass of milk.

"I'll substitute milk for bar."

After he finished speaking, the muscular man stared at the milk glass in front of him, his smile gradually freezing.

"Drinking milk is just a ritual; that's enough."

"Not giving me face?" he asked, enunciating each word clearly.

Sig: "......"

What kind of logic is this? These are all strangers on the street, why should we give them any face?

"I'm allergic to alcohol," he declined.

"Allergic to alcohol, and you come to a bar alone and order milk?" the muscular man asked, frowning.

His reaction, however, caused the bandits' enthusiastic smiles to gradually cool down.

"Since you're a fan of the Mountain Bandit King's looks, you should know something else."

"Besides drinking milk in bars, the bandit king also likes to do something else in bars."

Before he could finish speaking...

The muscular man grabbed a beer bottle from the table and was about to smash it over Sieg's head.

But Sieg reacted faster than him.

He dodged the bottle by tilting his head back, and at the same time, he placed one hand on the bandit's wrist.

The muscular man's expression changed. He felt a tremendous force on his hand, pulling the beer bottle and smashing it hard on his own head.

Clang!

The glass bottle shattered instantly, the clear sound of breaking echoing throughout the tavern.

The bandit staggered back half a step.

The murky liquor mixed with blood dripped down his cheeks.

The bar fell silent for a moment.

"Comfortable."

Sieg felt much more at ease at this moment.

Returning to the old place and seeing old friends again, he always felt that something was missing.

Now I feel much better.

The bandits suddenly covered his face with something, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

The expressions on these men's faces turned cold, and they drew their knives, the blades reflecting the cold glint of metal.

And just when tensions were running high...

With a creak.

The tavern door, now only half open, was pushed open again by someone.

This is a young man with short, wavy blond hair, and a pair of goggles on his top hat.

“Miss Makino...”

He had just shouted with a smile, but after seeing the scene in the bar, he shook his head:

"Another group of troublemakers? There seem to be a lot of them lately..."

The blond youth muttered to himself for a while, completely ignoring the gleaming blades of the bandits around him.

"Dragon Claw Fist - Dragon's Claw!"

He extended his right hand, his five fingers bent and spread apart like a three-fingered dragon claw, and then his figure swept past.

In a single blow, the swords and knives in the hands of the dozen or so bandits all twisted and shattered, and then their bodies fell to the ground one by one.

Having done all this, the young man adjusted his top hat and smiled slightly at Makino:

"It seems I'm not too late this time."

The bar owner, Makino, smiled and thanked her, "Thanks to you this time, Sabo."

Sabo nodded: "If you encounter troublemakers again in the future, you can notify me through the Den Den Mushi."

"Luffy probably wouldn't want to see this tavern destroyed by the bandit king's pilgrims either."

As Sabo said this, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He saw a handsome man staring at him from behind the bar. Although the man was wearing sunglasses, he could still tell that the man looked dazed.

Sabo was a little confused, but his gaze then fell on the milk in front of Sig.

"Another pilgrim?" he asked, slightly surprised.

"Don't misunderstand." Sig snapped out of his daze and quickly waved his hand.

“I am different from them.”

"I only came here because I admire the appearance of the mountain bandit king. Treat me as a...passing traveler."

Sieg said that.

“Traveler…” Sabo glanced at Sig a few times, but didn’t recognize him:

"Okay, whoever you are..."

"Just don't be like those pilgrims and recklessly head straight into the mountains. I guess you've heard about what happens in the mountains..."

Sabo's expression turned slightly serious as he said:

“Those stories aren’t all false; there are indeed many huge wild animals in the mountains, which is very dangerous.”

"The pilgrims from abroad must have perished in the mouths of those wild beasts."

A gigantic beast....

Sig remembers that the mountains were indeed home to a large number of wild beasts, which basically became the training ground for Luffy, Sabo, and Ace during their childhood.

Sieg nodded. "Thanks for the reminder."

Sabo didn't say anything more, and then whispered a few words to Makino beside him.

A moment later, a large group of cloaked people arrived outside the bar. They seemed to be there to clean up the mess and dragged away all the bandits who were lying on the ground.

After doing all this, Sabo, along with the cloaked men, disappeared outside the bar.

"Sabo has grown so much already, it's really been ten years..."

Sieg drank the last sip of milk and stood up.

He finished his milk, and it was about time for him to leave.

As he walked to the bar entrance, Sieg looked at the large, square box at the entrance.

This is a completely enclosed metal box, slightly larger than the bar door by a fist. It is silver-white in color and seems quite heavy. The box is deeply embedded in the soil at the bar entrance.

Just now, it was this box that tripped the bandits, which led to what happened next.

The blue and white cat jumped onto Sig's shoulder, licking its paws as it complained:

"Something Dr. Vegapunk from another world entrusted to you, and you just leave it at the door like this? Aren't you afraid it'll be stolen?"

"So heavy? Who could steal it?"

Sieg chuckled to himself.

He reached out and picked up the metal box, which was larger than a door panel. After taking two steps, he let out a soft "Eh."

With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the large box up and caught it again with ease, looking completely relaxed.

"Knowing you're strong, why are you showing off?" the blue and white cat said casually.

"My strength has increased again... and suddenly by a lot."

Sieg muttered to himself.

This large box was something he brought from a parallel world; it was given to him by Vegapunk.

Because it contained living cells and was quite heavy, exceeding the 300KG limit of the inventory, it was not put into the inventory. Instead, it was transported here using the Blue and White Cat's ability.

And the sudden surge of power...

Sig carefully sensed his body, moved his limbs, and his whole body crackled and popped.

Telekinesis is the ability to interfere with reality through mental power that arises from the activation of mental energy in a parallel world.

The power of his telekinesis not only meant that the mass of the things Sigur could move was getting bigger and bigger, but his mental strength was also increasing dramatically.

Increased thinking speed and improved mental state are benefits that come with a surge in psychomotor power.

Sensing the changes in his body, a thought flashed through Sieg's mind.

"Could it be that... Gian's power, due to the influence of time travel, directly reached the level of his youth, which is the peak of Gian's power?"

After Gian reached 100%, Sigurd spent a total of two years, which corresponds to Gian's power level at age 12.

However, if we consider the time elapsed in the main world... a total of ten years have passed.

After achieving 100% compatibility, Gian's power will increase with age, reaching a peak 10-20 years later, corresponding to Gian's youth when he is 20-30 years old.

"Is it because I left a shadow clone in this world, or is the age of this card calculated according to the timeline of the One Piece world?"

"Am I now equivalent to having the power of an adult Titan?" Sig clenched his fist, feeling the power that had suddenly expanded many times over, and muttered to himself.

The former represents that Gian is 22 years old at this time, and the latter represents that Gian is 20 years old at this time.

In other words, Gian's peak power period will last for another 8-10 years.

In either case... it's equivalent to Sieg exploiting a bug by using world travel to directly bypass the long period of power growth.

Feeling great, feeling great.
