I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Dadan, holding the second newspaper in her hand, also came over.

"I don't know either..." Rouge shook her head:

"He was sitting inside just now, and then suddenly got up and ran away... What's that newspaper you're holding?"

Rouge tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled.

"Could it be Ace's new newspaper?"

"Hmm...yes." Dadan thought for a moment, then decided to take out the newspaper.

Rouge glanced at it, first smiling, then her smile quickly froze.

She suddenly remembered something from the past.

Last time, Roger mistakenly identified a son as Ace, taking a fierce-looking man with a shoe print on his forehead as Ace.

Now it's Ace's turn to randomly claim someone as his father...

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

the other side.

Sig is making his way into the mountains, one step at a time.

He only knew that Dadan's family lived in the Colbo Mountains, but not the exact location... He had never been there before.

Therefore, the place he was going to this time was not actually Mount Korpo, but the mountain stronghold that Sig had built back then.

Back then, Sig spent the first part of his life after coming into this world in the mountain village.

Later, due to the joint efforts of the navy and the Kingdom's army to suppress bandits, he was forced to go to sea, which led to the story that followed.

It's been ten years.

That abandoned mountain stronghold must have been abandoned, or perhaps it has become a stronghold for other mountain bandits.

But since we're already here, it's good to take a look from afar.

As Sieg walked, he gradually became lost in his memories.

Back then, he hid in the mountains from Garp, and as a result, bandits sprang up in the mountain stronghold like mushrooms after rain, and suddenly he became the leader of the surrounding area.

As a result, not only did he fail to escape Garp, but Revolutionary Army leader Dragon, Garp, Essabo, and the anti-bandit army also came to visit...

This happened ten years ago.

Sieg suddenly stopped, a look of surprise unconsciously appearing on his face.

Before him stretched vast stretches of wooden houses and fortified villages, extending from the mountainside all the way to near the summit...

"What's going on? Not only is it still there, it's also many times bigger than I remember?"

Sig was shocked.

The Kingdom of Goa was just a remote kingdom in the East Sea, a small place.

Back then, he had gathered about two hundred bandits, making him an unparalleled force in the surrounding area.

But the fortress in front of us... is much larger than before. A rough estimate suggests it can hold at least two or three thousand people.

While Sieg was still in shock.

The grass beside me rustled.

One after another, bandits with turbans tied around their heads emerged from among them, each holding a knife or spear, watching him warily.

“I warned you... but you insisted on coming here.” Sabo pushed through the group of bandits and stepped out.

Sabo stepped out from the group of bandits with turbans wrapped around their heads and reached for the water pipe on his back.

"This is our bandit group's stronghold. If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now."

Sabo warned in a low voice.

A woman in a red dress and short skirt walked up to him.

The woman was also wearing sunglasses, had a cigarette in her mouth, and carried a roll of red flags on her shoulder.

She wore a red mini-skirt with a red cardigan that reached her waist, revealing her slender waist and even showing clear abs on her lower abdomen. A red scarf tied in the middle hung down from her chest, which was quite eye-catching.

Bello Betty, commander of the Revolutionary Army's Eastern Army, is a user of the Encouragement Fruit.

“I think since we’re here, there’s no need to leave. Staying is fine too.” Betty pushed up her sunglasses, her gaze falling on Sig’s face.

Among the bandits behind Betty were several of the bandits who had caused trouble in the tavern and been defeated by Sabo.

Their expressions were different now. Standing behind Betty, they looked focused and determined, as if they were different people.

"...So you were bandits all along?"

Sig looked at Sabo, feeling somewhat speechless.

He had already recognized Sabo and Betty, and naturally guessed their identities.

The Kingdom of Goa was just a small country; back then, his band of over two hundred mountain bandits were the leaders here.

In this small place, Wang Guojun didn't even have two or three thousand men, yet the mountain stronghold before them was so large...

These bandits did wear headscarves... but it was probably for disguise; they were likely revolutionary soldiers disguised as bandits.

"Well then, I'm sorry to bother you."

"I'm leaving now."

Sieg nodded.

He was somewhat surprised that his former residence had become a stronghold of the revolutionary army.

However, he didn't want to meddle and was about to turn and leave.

Betty was slightly taken aback by this abrupt turn, and then called out to Sieg:

"Wait...aren't you curious about why we mountain bandits have gathered here?"

Betty asked:

"The Kingdom of Goa is known as the most beautiful country in the East Blue, with the cleanest streets..."

“Not interested, goodbye.” Sig interrupted her, quickening his pace as he left.

Betty and Sabo exchanged a glance, their expressions growing even more serious.

Something's not right.

“He might be a member of the CP or the Navy… Let’s keep him here.” Betty pressed the earpiece on her collar and gave a low order.

"receive."

At that moment, from the mountain stronghold ahead, rows of dark gun barrels were pointed at Sig.

Bang bang bang bang!

More than ten bullets came from different directions, all aimed at Sig.

Only then did Sieg finally stop.

He sighed softly, finally turned around, and stretched out one palm in front of him, palm open.

This moment.

It was as if time had stopped, or as if a slow-motion scene had been played in a movie.

The speed of the dozen or so bullets fired from all directions suddenly decreased sharply, reaching a speed visible to the naked eye.

The bullets seemed to encounter some major obstacle invisible to the naked eye, their speed quickly decreased, and finally they all stopped hovering quietly a few centimeters in the air in front of Sig's palm.

"Rubber bullets?"

Sieg released his grip, and the dozen or so bullets fell together, like raindrops hitting the ground.

But the attacks did not stop there.

"An Ability User? Ability Users are quite rare in the East Blue. And you're just a fan of the Mountain Bandit King?"

A red figure rushed towards him, Betty holding a red flag, which she used as a weapon, and hurled it at Sieg.

As she ran, her little vest billowed in the wind, almost leaving her body. But since this is a serious novel, there's no need to worry about the risk of exposure, so the little vest stubbornly demonstrated the anti-Newtonian phenomenon, clinging tightly to her chest to prevent any mishaps.

At that moment, the blue and white cat nimbly leaped onto the large box in Sig's hand, while Sig tossed the silver-white box into the air.

boom!

The red flag crashed down, raising clouds of dust.

But Betty's expression changed slightly.

Sig was no longer in sight.

Before she knew it, Sig's figure had appeared behind her.

He held a freshly plucked hair in his hand, and like Betty, he was slightly dazed, inwardly exclaiming, "Wow!"

Goodness... Sigma practically has this move ingrained in his DNA; I instinctively used Flying Thunder God Technique.

Thirty-eight years of journey, Flying Thunder God has become ingrained in my bones.

Because the immersion in the memory retrieval was so strong, this long period of memory was practically like Sigurd's second life, so he subconsciously used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Luckily, I stopped at the crucial moment and used the Flying Thunder God Technique, otherwise we would have made enemies..."

Sieg thought to himself, but the next moment Betty had obviously noticed his position. She waved the red flag in her hand and swung it down at his waist again.

This time, Sieg did not dodge.

He extended his palm, which formed a claw shape. This made Sabo, who was also skilled in claw techniques, freeze in surprise.

Dragon-Capturing Hand!

In that instant, a suction force suddenly appeared in Sieg's palm, causing the red flag in Betty's hand to tilt slightly.

The next instant, Sieg stepped forward and grabbed Betty's flagpole with one hand, pulling hard.

Gian's strength during his youth was considered excellent among adult Titans in this world.
