I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The Iruma card was very effective back then, helping him to resolve many crises.

However, every gift bestowed by fate comes with a hidden price tag.

During the period when Iruma was possessed, he became a kind-hearted person similar to BABY-5, unable to refuse other people's requests.

Sieg couldn't refuse Crocodile's invitation to Alabasta, nor could he refuse the Golden Lion's invitation to drink... but those requests were long gone, long since fulfilled.

There is only one exception.

That was the request that BABY-5 made back on Wanwu Island.

This requirement has no time limit, so it continues to affect Siegfried to this day.

Vie wouldn't refuse Sieg's request, and Sieg was also firmly bound by the original agreement.

“You…you…you’re right.” Sieg looked constipated.

"I will always need you, so you should stay."

“I knew it… Mr. Sig wouldn’t lie.”

Viben crouched down and hugged Sieg tightly across the back of the chair, rubbing her little face against his shoulder.

Sieg's face was stiff, and he looked constipated.

He noticed that... the gazes of Reiju and the others opposite him had become increasingly sharp.

"Wow... that's so perverted..."

"No wonder he's a legendary pervert!"

That's probably what Reiju and the others were thinking.

At that moment, a clone soldier walked over and whispered:

“Mr. Sig, Princess Sora invites you to have a chat.”

"Oh?" Sig's voice suddenly rose a few octaves, and he stood up abruptly.

Finally, I can leave this place that's driving me crazy!

Sig was secretly excited as he watched the clone soldiers walk away and onto the balcony outside the hall.

A few minutes later.

Judge reappeared in the hall, his eyes resolute, clearly having made his decision.

But after glancing around, they couldn't find any trace of Sieg in the living room.

"Where's Sigurd? Reiju, didn't I tell you to properly entertain the guests?"

Reiju said frankly, "Mom just said she wanted to talk to Mr. Sig privately."

"Oh? What does she want to talk about?"

Gaji felt a sense of doubt.

Sieg was there to discuss business with him; Sora had nothing to do with it... and she hadn't been present before.

Judge glanced at Reiju a few times, and suddenly had a bad feeling: What is that old pervert Sigurd up to now?

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

Meanwhile, when Sieg stepped onto the balcony, Princess Sora was already waiting there.

“Mr. Sig.” Sora smiled and nodded politely.

"Actually, I wanted to talk about it at the banquet before, but I just couldn't find a good opportunity."

“Mr. Sig, as Sanji’s mother, I must thank you.”

While Sieg was somewhat surprised, Sora continued:

“Gage was obsessed with restoring the glory of the Vinsmoke family, so he forced me to undergo bloodline modification surgery while my children were still in the womb.”

"Originally, he wanted all my children to have their emotions erased, turning them into perfect soldiers like clone soldiers, without fear."

"But he later gave up, thanks to Mr. Sieg's advice back then."

Sora paused for a moment, then said:

"True warriors who have been through countless battles are often not fearless of death; the fear of death can often inspire their inner strength."

"Without fear, without reverence for life and death, one cannot become a true strongman—that's what you said to Judge back then, right?"

"That's why Judge changed his mind."

Sieg thought about it carefully and realized that there really was such a thing.

Back then, he was the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates and a world-renowned pirate, while Judge was an unknown scientist. Judge naturally had to weigh the weight of his words.

So.

None of Judge's sons had their emotions completely erased, so Sora did not take the drug in anger, and thus she survived.

Judging from the 1 point deduction of the power of cause and effect, this is the plot change brought about by Sig's actions.

At this point, Sora's eyes even reddened slightly:

“I can’t change Judge’s mind. If he really wants to turn my children into emotionless dolls… I would rather die than see that happen.”

“So…” Sora sincerely thanked Sig:

"As a mother of these children, I must express my gratitude."

"Without you, I really don't know what I would do. Our family might not be complete anymore."

"And Sanji, thank you for taking care of him too," Sora said earnestly.

"We're all on the same side, no need for thanks." Sieg waved his hand.

"Furthermore, I also hope that Sanji can grow up soon."

.......

And the other side of the corridor corner.

Having just arrived, Judge gazed at the balcony where his wife and Sig were engaged in a lively conversation.

Because he wasn't very close, he didn't hear all the conversation clearly, only the gist of it.

"As a mother..."

"Without you, our family might not be complete anymore... and Sanji too..."

Judge's eyes widened slightly, and he was almost petrified.

That old lecher Sieg not only coveted his own daughter, but also...

He recalled what Sig and Sanji had been saying privately after the banquet the night before, and suddenly felt like he was being cuckolded.

"You old scoundrel Sig, you've gone too far!" Judge was furious.

Chapter 1068 For the rest of my life, please continue to need me.

"Father, why have you summoned us all of a sudden? Aren't the guests still waiting in the hall?"

Reiju looked at Judge, whose face was ashen.

A few minutes earlier, Judge appeared before them with a livid face and ordered them all to leave their seats and go to the back room.

“Sigur is no longer a guest of our Germa Kingdom.”

Judge didn't explain, he just said it coldly.

He had adopted a humble posture in front of Sieg because Sieg was powerful and he needed Sieg's help to obtain the Walbourne alloy from him.

But now it seems that his forbearance has only led to Sieg taking an even bigger inch.

First, she set her sights on his daughter, then wanted the battle suit that Judge considered his core item, and then she even secretly met with his wife...

Judge wasn't an emotionless clone, and he eventually got angry.

"Everyone, change into your combat suits and prepare for battle," Judge said coldly.

The three brothers, Yongzhi and his brother, showed little reaction; in fact, they were even a little excited.

"Father, you've finally made up your mind. I've wanted to do this for a long time." Yuji chuckled and clenched his fist.

"Let me throw the first punch!"

The bandit king was active ten or even several decades ago.

The deterrent effect of this title may not be so effective on young people like Yongzhi.

Only Reiju frowned and questioned:

"The enemy is Sig... and his headquarters is right next door. If we take action against him, what are our chances of winning?"

"It's not entirely without a chance of winning," Judge said coldly.

"Sigu only brought a few men... This is our only chance. Even the strongest people on this sea are made of flesh and blood. Even the world's strongest, Whitebeard, cannot ignore all the cannonballs and bullets. We have a massive numerical advantage!"

"Once the attack is successful, we can leave this area as quickly as possible. There's no need to continue fighting."

"I won't repeat myself, go and prepare."

"Just a moment... while Sieg is off guard, let's strike together!"

"My spear is the signal!"

"Then, you three brothers, Ichi, will use the combined attack [Mixed Color Burst]... The opportunity is only for a moment, you must seize it."

Gaji said solemnly.

The combined attack launched by the three brothers at the same time was something even he himself would find difficult to handle.

"it is good."

The group nodded in agreement, but they didn't notice that the youngest member, Yuji, pursed his lips.

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

A few minutes later.

Back in the castle's drawing room, Sieg looked with some confusion at the empty seats occupied by the Vinsmoke family, with only a few clone subordinates remaining around.
