I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

One hundred million?

Sig was startled, and the blue and white cat lying on the sofa also turned its head to look, frightened.

"The cost of Type B serum is 100 million Berries per bottle? I remember that according to the doctor's enhancement plan, it's best to take the serum every week..."

The blue and white cat stretched out its paw, lowered its head to calculate, and exclaimed in surprise:

"If you take it continuously for a year, that's 52 billion Berries, which is equivalent to eating the equivalent of Whitebeard's body in a year!"

Chapter 1035 Luo

"One Whitebeard a year? That's impressive! 52 billion? That could buy a whole bunch of Devil Fruits, even the most expensive Op-Op Fruit isn't that expensive..."

Sieg frowned:

"By the way, how much can my telekinesis be strengthened over a year? Is it worth it?"

"Have you forgotten?" the blue and white cat reminded him.

"You are the first experimental subject under the doctor's supervision, so the drug's effects are unknown, but theoretically it is far stronger than Type A psychodynamic drugs."

Five billion... Such a huge number left Sieg speechless and also filled with a sense of regret.

The treasures he handled included the Wano Country's treasury, the Celestial Dragons' treasure vault, and the enormous gold mine on the Red Line...

If these were to fall into his hands, they would certainly be worth far more than five billion Berries.

Sig glanced at his inventory. The money in the inventory was what he had left over from before, totaling 1.5 billion Berries.

While the Shock Department of the Island of All Things is also one of the dominant forces on the island, it mostly has fixed assets. Although these assets can be converted into cash, it is unlikely that Sieg would use them all to make medicine for himself.

"Looks like I'll have to keep making money..." Sigurds thought to himself.

He first instructed Kro to acquire a unit of materials, intending to test the drug's effectiveness.

At the same time, a thick diary appeared in his hand.

This is Dracula's thirty-year journey diary in a parallel world.

"A thirty-year journey, from Dracula to the invincible Sigma, is filled with remarkable events, both big and small. With some fictional and exaggerated elements, it could certainly be adapted into an epic tale..."

Since there's Dracula in newspaper comics, a corrupted Dracula from a parallel universe could also be included.

Moreover, since the two worldviews are similar, the adaptation requires little effort, and many plot points can be directly reused.

“A more localized Sigma journey should be more relatable than American comic book adaptations like Batman.”

Sig has decided to start a serialized comic book series called "The Legend of Sigmar," which should help boost newspaper sales.

"Boss Sig, you were just talking about the Op-Op Fruit..." Crow chuckled from the side.

"It's quite a coincidence, actually. Trafalgar Law, the user of the Op-Op Fruit, the Surgeon of Death, has just arrived on our island."

"It's a bit of a pity, though. He's a well-known Devil Fruit user in the North Blue, not a Devil Fruit user. Otherwise, if we could get our hands on that fruit, it would be worth 5 billion Berries, which could solve Boss Sigurd's urgent problem."

“Luo? It’s quite a coincidence… but not exactly a coincidence.” Sig said thoughtfully.

Law and Luffy are both Supernovas from the same year, so their entry into the Grand Line should be around the same time as Luffy's.

As for why Law chose this route out of the seven routes on the Grand Line... Sigmund could probably guess the reason.

The current Island of All Things is, on the surface, an island jointly ruled by the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo and Gecko Moria.

This is a fatal attraction for Law, whose goal is to avenge Doflamingo.

"So, should we take action against Luo?" Sig pondered for a moment.

Unfortunately, he knew how to turn a Devil Fruit user into a Devil Fruit user.

Although I haven't tried it before, I don't know the success rate...

Sieg thought for a moment, then came up with another idea and asked:

"Where was the Straw Hat Pirates last seen? If we can't find any trace of the Straw Hat Pirates, finding any trace of Marine Headquarters Captain Smoker will also be helpful."

Kro was slightly taken aback, then quickly replied:

"This is a minor matter. The Straw Hat Pirates are a relatively well-known rookie pirate crew, so it won't be difficult to investigate."

The Shock Department has business ties with figures like Morgans, the "News King," and the "Shipping King," and it also wields considerable power and possesses strong intelligence capabilities.

"After we finish our investigation, we'll go and meet with this Luo," Sieg ordered calmly.

"Should we arrest the Surgeon of Death?"

Kro raised his hand and pressed the base of his palm against the bridge of his nose with his glasses, the lenses gleaming with a cold light.

“There’s no need for you, Boss Sig, to personally handle this kind of newcomer.”

Kro, who had always appeared humble in front of Sieg, seemed unchanged from ten years ago.

But at this moment, he finally revealed his true sharpness, showing a hint of cold killing intent, and his aura began to emerge.

Sieg was slightly surprised.

Is there such a good thing?

Looking at the confident Kro in front of him, he suddenly realized the passage of time.

Ten years is a very long time.

Whether it's Kuro, Arlong, or anyone else, none of them entered the Grand Line, a higher stage, in the original story. Instead, they became local tyrants in the remote and impoverished East Blue, and their strength probably declined over the course of ten years.

But that's not the case now.

Has it reached the point where we can now rely on our subordinates for support?

Sieg was deeply moved.

"Just subdue him and bring him to me. Be careful not to overturn the car," Sieg instructed.

“…Never mind, I’ll go and take a look from the sidelines, that might be a good idea,” Sieg changed his mind.

"Then I'll go down first." Kro's eyes gleamed as he left the room.

The scene of their reunion ten years later was actually a bit awkward...

Now he's ready to re-emerge and demonstrate his worth in order to continue climbing up to the bandit king's coattails.

After all, although the bandit king had been missing for ten years, he was still one of the most important figures on this sea.

inside the room.

Sig glanced at the two Seastone swords floating behind him and put them back into his inventory.

In terms of hardness, sea stone is indeed the strongest material.

However, at different purities, they exhibit drastically different physical properties.

As far as Sieg knows, the constituent particles of sea stone merge with water vapor in the sky to form sky island clouds, which can support large areas of ocean, buildings, and even cities and islands at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

When the thickness of the sea stone is insufficient, such as at the edge of a knife blade, it becomes brittle.

When thick enough, it becomes the best handcuffs and prison bars, a true nemesis of those with superpowers.

The liquid state is the ocean, the gaseous state is the floating island cloud that can support the floating islands, and the solid state is a brittle blade or a sturdy handcuff.

Perhaps there's something to be done with this special material, sea stone.

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

Inside the tavern.

The members of the Heart Pirates were sitting at a table discussing something.

Two people stood out in particular: one was Bepo, a polar bear from the fur tribe, and the other was a young man carrying a long knife, wearing a spotted fur hat, with a short beard on his chin and dark circles under his eyes.

As a fellow Supernova of Luffy, Law, who had just arrived on the Grand Line, chose this Island of All Things as his first stop.

"Captain, it seems this is not what we expected. The Don Quixote family doesn't have much business on this island, but I did discover something interesting just now."

One of the pirates fumbled around and pulled a newspaper out of his pocket.

The newspaper was an old one from ten years ago, slightly yellowed, but the headlines immediately caught Luo's attention.

Shocking! The true identity of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is actually...

Chapter 1036 Another Mishap 2-3

"Doflamingo's true identity... Could it be that his identity as JOKER in the underworld has been exposed?"

Luo Dunshi became curious and took the newspaper with one hand, his palm trembling slightly with excitement.

For them, who had just entered the Grand Line, everything here was new and exciting, including the newspapers.

of course.

This newspaper is from ten years ago. Back then, Siegfried's tabloids didn't have much influence, and Luo was still young and didn't know about it.

When Luo unfolded the newspaper with high expectations, what he saw was this picture.

His lips twitched, and he almost couldn't maintain his serious expression.

The other crew members who came over to take a look burst out laughing.

"Stop laughing." Luo put down his newspaper and said seriously:

"It seems this island isn't as simple as we thought. Despite being Doflamingo's territory, his dirty laundry has been published in the newspapers... Aren't the people behind these newspapers afraid of being killed by Doflamingo?"

For Law, Doflamingo and Vergo were his childhood traumas, extremely terrifying and powerful pirates.

Doflamingo was his greatest enemy, and his biggest goal as a pirate was to take revenge on him.

But as soon as he said that, laughter erupted from the surrounding area of ​​the bar.

"Doflamingo? That big shot who runs a newspaper, Doflamingo wouldn't dare mess with him!"

"He suffered a loss on this island back then... Not to mention JOKER, even Kaido, one of the Four Emperors behind JOKER, had his lair destroyed by that big shot!"

Luo was startled and looked around, only to see a noisy crowd in the bar, with faces that seemed to be smiling but not quite. It was as if someone was looking at him, but then again, it wasn't. He couldn't tell who had been speaking.

He frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

"Let's go."
