I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Sig, who was suspended in mid-air, slowly opened his eyes. An invisible force struck the blue and white cat, slamming it against the wall with a snap.

His breathing returned to normal, his heartbeat calmed down, and his feet touched the ground.

His face was pale from blood loss, but his eyes were brighter than usual, and his mind was much clearer than before.

"I'm ready, you... you can go now," Sieg said.

"As usual, don't tell anyone what you saw."

Seeing that Sieg was alright, Crowe and the other man pushed open the door and left.

But after they went outside, the two still couldn't help but whisper about what had just happened.

"Speaking of which, what happened to Boss Sig? How could he be injured like this?" Gilman exclaimed in surprise.

"What's so special about this?" Chloe gave him a look that said, "You're still too young."

“I heard Baldy mention it…” Kroh said in a low voice:

"Back then, the Black Flame Dragon was once sealed in Boss Sig's arm! He was the most powerful of the Black Flame Dragon's jinchūriki!"

"His body was almost on the verge of collapse because of this..."

"Perhaps there's something strange sealed inside his other arm?"

"Really?" Gilman exclaimed in surprise.

"Boss Sig has silently sacrificed so much for this world..."

"Fortunately, we haven't wasted these past ten years. This time, we can't just watch from the sidelines like before, right?"

The two talked as they walked away.

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

Inside the room.

Sig had recovered from the previous abnormality. He clenched his fist, feeling the surge of telekinetic energy, and muttered to himself:

"Through persistent efforts, my strength has finally taken another step forward, breaking through to a new level."

"Really?" Blue and White jumped back onto the table and began licking its fur casually.

"Tell me your abilities."

"My strength is..."

Sieg glanced at the blood-stained wall beside him and reached out.

The bloodstains that had just seeped into the wall were drawn out again by some unknown force, slowly turning into droplets of blood that floated in the air.

"Hmm? You can suck out blood without damaging the wall? Your control over telekinesis has gotten stronger again... But why are you doing this?"

The blue and white cat watched as drops of blood seeped out from all around, then gathered in the air and formed a blood sphere the size of a fist.

Under the intense pressure of the powerful telekinetic force, the blood cell collapsed and condensed inward, eventually turning into a dark red blood droplet the size of a water droplet.

"What are you doing? Is it because it's your first time that you want to keep it as a souvenir?" the blue and white cat complained.

Sieg ignored it and simply exclaimed, "This hundred million was well spent."

Since he felt it was worthwhile, he then needed to prepare the funds for the next phase of funding and the subsequent acquisition of materials.

Siegfried currently has 14 billion Berries on hand, and with the funds from the Shock Department, he can probably last for about six months.

"Next, it's time to start making money," Sieg muttered to himself.

"Even an adult giant with the God King Engine physique only meets the threshold for using Type B drugs, and they're so expensive. They're indeed very effective."

"At this rate... in a year or two, I should be able to transform into an invincible powerhouse, right?"

All these years have passed, but Sieg has never stopped yearning for the invincible transformation style.

Sieg has made up his mind.

As long as he continues to hide on the Island of All Things, finds ways to make money and take drugs, and survives for a year or two, relying on his skyrocketing psychic power, he will be an invincible powerhouse, right?

"By then, no one will be able to stop my U-meh, hehehehehehehe..."

Amidst the laughter, Sieg thought to himself:

By then, no one will be able to stop me from living a peaceful life.

Chapter 1039 The General Infiltrates

"Are you ready, Luo?"

On the small boat at the harbor, Sieg turned around and looked at Luo and Crocus behind him.

Just now, Sig had obtained information from Gilman about the hiding place of Wapol, the user of the Gluttony Fruit.

Wapol, the user of the Gluttony Fruit, became rich by opening a toy factory after being knocked away by Luffy. He married Miss Universe and reached the pinnacle of his life again, becoming the king of the Dark Drum Kingdom.

Since this was such an important matter concerning their money-making venture, Sieg decided to take matters into his own hands... and bring Law and Crocus along as well.

Because he's faster.

Another reason was to avoid the limelight of Moria's impending return.

"...Ready."

Luo nodded deeply.

After witnessing the death of the bandit king, he clearly realized that he had been drawn into a huge conspiracy.

This journey was his first operation after he sold himself into servitude... The fact that Sieg, known for his mystery and ambition, specifically brought him on his first mission meant it was definitely not a simple matter.

Luo was mentally prepared.

"Hold on tight."

With a thought, Sieg unleashed an invisible surge of telekinetic energy, enveloping the entire small boat.

Then, the small boat left the harbor, quickly rose into the air and floated away, before disappearing into the distance.

"It seems to be a similar ability to my Ope Ope no Mi (Operation Fruit)."

By now, Luo had also come to his senses.

Sigurd is certainly not the second user of the Op-Op Fruit, but there are similarities in the development of his techniques.

From that time on, Sigurd began to reveal the development and application of the Op-Op Fruit to Law, showing a clearer understanding of ability development than Law himself, leaving Law speechless.

While shocked, he also felt deeply fortunate.

Devil Fruits come in all shapes and sizes, and there is only one of each. Only after the previous user dies can a new user be created.

Therefore, the knowledge of developing abilities is different from abilities like the Six Styles of the Navy and Haki; it is basically impossible to pass on.

Basically, every person with an ability is figuring it out on their own.

Skills development relies primarily on imagination and rambling; even the most renowned teachers cannot provide proper guidance in this area.

Zephyr trained three or four admirals, a large group of vice admirals, and produced a bunch of powerful individuals... but his guidance was limited to physical skills and Haki, and he couldn't teach people how to develop Devil Fruits.

But the Sieg he encountered was different.

"With his help, I'm sure I can get revenge on Vergo and Doflamingo in the future," Law thought to himself.

Just then, an old voice came from behind.

"I heard that you are a user of the Op-Op Fruit and also a doctor?"

Crocus smiled and looked at him:

"The fruits of surgery, perhaps, are the fruits that doctors desire most?"

Medical skills have their limits. The Ope Ope no Mi, the Phoenix no Mi, the Heal no Mi, and even the Ivankov's Hormone no Mi... these fruits, with just a little development, can cheat their way to heights that ordinary doctors can never reach in their lifetime.

However, as the ship's doctor who helped extend the life of the Pirate King, Crocus's medical skills are undoubtedly among the best in the world.

Medical knowledge can also be passed down.

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

On the same day that Sieg's telekinetic powers enveloped the small boat and it soared into the sky.

Moonlight Moria's sailboat also arrived at this island of all things.

"We've finally arrived."

In the green alternate dimension, Dor also breathed a sigh of relief.

During his time hitchhiking, he also learned some information about the Island of Everything from Moria.

"This is where Sig's old subordinates used to stay. If Sig returns to the sea, he will likely come back here. Perhaps we can get some information from his old subordinates."

"From now on, we need to be careful."

For the Navy, Wanwu Island was an unfamiliar place, and it could even be said to be full of enemies.

But given Dol's strength and ability, there is no pressure at all.

His only worry was that he might alert the enemy, perhaps Sieg, who was on the island.

Inside the alternate dimension, Dol touched his left arm, which had been severed at the elbow.

Although Sieg did not cut off the arm himself, it was caused by him.

As a witness to the shattered void event, and now that he has lost an arm and is not as strong as before, he would naturally not be so arrogant as to challenge Wang Rixiong, who might be Sig himself, in a one-on-one fight.

His goal was to find Sieg, not to fight him one-on-one.

As soon as he discovers that Wang Rixiong's true identity is Sig, he plans to leave quietly and report to the Navy.

Coincidentally, his abilities are extremely well-suited for infiltration operations and also extremely well-suited for escaping.

He can infiltrate other dimensions by opening doors in the air, and neither the Holy Land Mary Geoise nor Impel Down can stop him—which is also why he was implicated in the theft of the Holy Land back then.

At the same time, with his general-level speed and ability, he could instantly enter another dimension for refuge through "air doors".

In terms of infiltration ability, the Door-Door Fruit is perhaps the strongest.

In terms of escape ability, it is probably second only to the Time-Time Fruit and the Reverse-Time Fruit.

Therefore, even if this place might be Sig's lair, he felt he could come and go as he pleased—he could hide in the alternate dimension and not show his face, and as long as he didn't run into a few ability users like Whitebeard, who could possibly hurt him?
