I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

In reality, those caught so far are just ordinary pirates with bounties of a few million; the occasional pirate with a bounty of tens of millions is considered a big fish.

Deploying a rear admiral from headquarters to deal with pirates of this caliber would be a waste of their talents.

"Could it be... that my identity has been discovered, and they're here to hunt down Captain Bucky?"

Bucky gradually broke out in a cold sweat.

After Roger's death, the World Government has been making a large-scale arrest of people associated with Roger. Buggy, as a former crew member of the Pirate King, has been hiding his identity all the way to survive until now.

"Captain Bucky, the only place we can go now is the Grand Line. The Navy's encirclement has almost completely blocked other directions, making it very difficult to break through."

"The pirate crew's chief of staff, the swordsman Cabaji, said helplessly."

"The Grand Line? Now is not the time."

Bucky said with a stern face.

He had not only been to the Grand Line, but even to Laugh Tale, the end of the Grand Line, and was well aware of the dangers of this sea.

For the Buggy Pirates right now, it's still a bit too difficult.

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps rapidly approached.

"Captain Buggy, a strange ship is approaching us. It's not flying a pirate flag!"

"what?"

Bucky's face immediately darkened.

Kabaji also frowned as he spoke;

"It's really strange. Ordinary ships would never try to get close to our pirate ship. Could it be a Navy ship disguised as an ordinary one, trying to attack us?"

"Captain Bucky, shall we fire a shot at him and see what happens?"

Bucky's face also looked grim.

He suddenly stood up from his chair and walked step by step toward the pirate who had made the announcement, his face grim.

Then, his right wrist silently split off, grabbed the pirate by the collar, lifted him up, and shoved his red nose hard into the pirate's face.

"Who did you just call red-nosed?"

"I...I didn't," the pirate who was being pinched quickly denied.

At that moment, the large sailing ship next to them had already approached Buggy's pirate ship, casting a shadow that enveloped Buggy, who was holding his subordinate.

Bucky instinctively looked up and saw a man on the opposite ship staring down at him expressionlessly.

"A pirate?"

Bucky's face darkened.

"Hey, the guy in front of you is Buggy, the great pirate with a bounty of over ten million. If you know what's good for you, get lost!"

Kabaji walked up to Bucky with a cold smile, gazing at Sig across the way, his hand on the scabbard at his waist, as if to draw it.

Unexpectedly, Bucky then heard the panicked cries of his own men.

"Captain, this man looks like Sieg, the number one wanted criminal with a bounty of nearly two hundred million!"

"what?"

Bucky and Kabaji both froze instantly.

After carefully examining Sieg's appearance, both of them were secretly alarmed.

Kabaji's knife, which he had only half-drawn, trembled slightly. He feigned difficulty and quietly backed away.

"Captain Bucky, my knife is jammed..."

Higuma's attack on the Celestial Dragons had already spread throughout the East Blue, making him an extremely dangerous figure for the Buggy Pirates.

Bucky's bounty is probably only a fraction of Sieg's bounty.

Could it be that I've already offended this Sieg in front of me?

While Bucky froze, unsure of what to say.

On the opposite boat, the man who had been looking down at him expressionlessly had a slight smile on his lips, and his deep voice rang out:

"So it's the legendary pirate, Buggy."

"Captain Buggy, a crew member of the Pirate King Roger, an old friend of the Four Emperors Shanks, and possessing Conqueror's Haki... Conqueror's Haki talent, how could someone like you be lying low in the weakest part of the East Blue? You must have some grand plan in mind, right?"

These few words caused a huge uproar on both ships.

"What? He's a member of the Pirate King's crew?"

"Is Boss Sig really not mistaken? His bounty is only a little over ten million, isn't it?"

"Could he be a big shot like Boss Sig, who has been lying low for many years?"

The bandits' expressions all changed.

On the opposite ship, the Buggy Pirates were just as shocked.

"The number one wanted criminal, Sieg, with a bounty of nearly 200 million, actually calls our captain 'the legendary great pirate'?"

"Captain Buggy is a member of the Pirate King's crew?"

"My God, our captain has such a powerful background?"

All the shocked gazes were directed at Bucky on the deck.

This man became the focus of the entire room at that moment.

"No, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense... I don't know any Shanks, and I've never been on the Pirate King's ship..."

A hint of panic flashed across Bucky's eyes before he quickly offered an explanation.

But then he coughed lightly, put his hands on his hips, and said proudly:

"Sigu, although you've mistaken me for someone else, I'm certainly not a member of the Pirate King's crew."

"However, your eyesight is indeed quite good. You actually saw that I possess the legendary Conqueror's Haki, a talent that only one in a million people can obtain!"

Seeing Bucky's reaction, Sieg's lips curled slightly, and he asked calmly:

Did I admit my mistake?

"But I heard that the Navy would suddenly launch a large-scale operation to secretly hunt down a crew member of the Pirate King in the East Blue."

Bucky's smile froze instantly, and two streams of snot flowed from his round, red nose.

Is the navy making such a big fuss to hunt me down? And even sending a fleet from headquarters?

Bucky's face quickly turned ugly.

Has his identity really been exposed?

Otherwise, how could Sieg have seen through him so easily? Perhaps that's why the Navy launched the encirclement and suppression?

Just as he was in a state of utter confusion, he heard Sieg say with a smile:

"Captain Bucky, I've prepared some drinks. Why don't we have a proper chat?"

"Perhaps I can help you escape this naval encirclement."

Bucky hesitated, his mind in turmoil.

Sig, who suddenly revealed his identity, is very mysterious. His bounty is also close to 200 million, and his strength should far exceed his. If he intends to be his enemy, he can just take action directly.

Perhaps... the other party really does have a solution?

Bucky glanced at the knife at Sig's waist and felt a slight sense of relief.

Even if he can't defeat a swordsman, it's not difficult for him to escape.

Chapter 108 Catching a Blade with the Palm

On the high seas, two pirate ships sailed side by side, gradually drawing closer.

Bucky didn't immediately accept Sig's invitation. Instead, he stood there pondering, while observing the group of people standing on the deck of Sig's ship from a distance.

"Baiji Kro? What's that guy doing on Sig's ship?"

Bucky glanced thoughtfully at the several layers of bandage wrapped around Kro's hand.

In this era, Kuro was indeed one of the most well-known pirates in the East Blue with a high bounty, and even Buggy recognized him.

"Besides Kro, there's a strong merman, and... a beautiful woman with a broom?"

Bucky's expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked away, his wariness of Sieg deepening.

His strength may not be very high, but with so many years of experience as a pirate, he still has a good eye for things.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally tentatively spoke:

"Our Buggy Pirates just acquired a batch of fine wine a few days ago."

"Sieg, since you want to drink, why don't you come and have a drink on our ship?"

Sieg paused for a moment at the suggestion, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

Bucky was clearly still wary of him, and if he refused Bucky's invitation here, he was afraid that he would not be able to continue the conversation with Bucky.

"You all wait here."

Sigurd said something to his men, then leaped up and landed steadily on the deck of the Buggy Pirates.

Bang bang bang bang...

Amidst the faint sound of the Emperor's engine, a subtle sense of oppressive power permeated the ship, causing Bucky, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, to have a slight change in expression.

"Is he really here for a drink? Or is he not here to fight our pirate crew?"

Bucky's men's expressions changed even more noticeably. As soon as Sieg landed, they retreated far away, leaving a large open space on the deck, and watched Sieg nervously from a distance.

To their slight relief, the oppressive feeling gradually faded away soon afterward.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get the wine!" Bucky urged.

Before long, his men had brought over several barrels of wine, and Bucky and Sieg sat facing each other, drinking.

"You really can hold your liquor!"
