I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Inside the prison, a burly man with white hair spoke quietly, a look of reminiscence on his face:

"Barrett is a monster. Back in the Infinite Hell, he was the only one who persisted in training despite being imprisoned for many years. He never slacked off, and his strength even increased while he was in prison."

“He firmly believes that he will be released from prison and regain his freedom one day, unlike us who have lost hope.”

"What do you want to say?" someone asked from the side.

"So, Sieg is the same," the white-haired man said with a faint smile.

“I knew it. Sig never thought he would spend the rest of his life in Impel Down or die here, just like Barrett did back then.”

"He and Fire Fist Ace are both training... It's highly likely that Sig already has a concrete plan for breaking out of prison, has discussed it with Fire Fist Ace, and is making preparations."

"Is...is that so?" The old prisoners exchanged glances and fell into deep thought.

The white-haired man turned his neck, making a cracking sound, then stretched and began to do push-ups.

"I suddenly feel like stretching my muscles too..."

"What a coincidence, me too..."

"Life lies in movement."

Among the fifty-six emperors of that time, several of them stretched their muscles and began their own training.

And so, in this endless hell, the heavy breathing of old men gradually rose up, echoing in the empty prison.

The panting sound seemed to be somewhat contagious. As time passed, the other prisoners seemed to have figured something out and joined the exercise group as well.

The number of old men panting was increasing.

When the jailers patrolled this area, they could only feel the panting of men all around them, which gave them goosebumps.

"Wha...what happened?"

"What are these most vicious criminals up to now?"

This anomaly quickly reached the ears of Director Magellan, who went to the monitoring room to take a look, but still couldn't figure it out.

"It's definitely Sig who's the problem; Sig was the one who started the training first."

"Was he secretly plotting something without our knowledge?" The anomalies of the Infinite Hell intensified Magellan's unease.

"We absolutely cannot just sit idly by and watch Sieg's conspiracy succeed..."

Chapter 1105 Listening to Mom Talk About Dad (3k)

Why does it feel noisy around us?

After completing an hour of bodyweight training, Sieg stopped, frowning as he listened to the rising and falling breathing sounds in the prison, feeling a little strange.

He couldn't see the others, but he could see that Ace seemed to be doing squats in his cell, and he could see that he was struggling quite a bit, his face turning red.

"This kid really has a strong will to survive. He's wearing sea stone shackles, yet he still insists on exercising?"

Sig had only been in prison for a few days and didn't think much of it, assuming that Ace, like Barrett, had the habit of exercising in prison.

"No wonder he's that man's son; he has the same strong will to survive as him." Sig gave Ace a thumbs-up in approval.

Ace returned a polite smile.

He wasn't very familiar with Higuma when they were young, but Luffy had lived in a bandit's den for a while. In addition, influenced by the Whitebeard Pirates, he was quite friendly towards Higuma.

"Was Whitebeard really that survival-oriented? This is the first time I've heard that." Ace was slightly surprised and became curious.

"Mr. Sig, could you tell me about it?"

"I wasn't talking about Whitebeard, I was talking about Roger." Sig gave Ace a deep look.

When he mentioned that man's son, Ace actually thought of Whitebeard first, not Roger...

“Roger…” Ace paused for a moment.

Just when Sieg thought the conversation was over, Ace spoke again:

“Mr. Sig, tell me about it when you have time.”

"I am already a dying man, so it would be good to hear about him before I die."

Many years ago, when Sig met Ace in the mountains of the Goa Kingdom, Ace also asked about Roger.

However, at that time, Sieg had not yet made contact with Roger and simply brushed it off.

“Want to know about Roger…” Sieg pondered for a moment.

He didn't talk about Roger's glorious achievements that everyone knows about, but instead talked about Roger's second life after he disbanded his pirate crew and ended his pirate career.

This is not the story of One Piece.

It is the story of a husband and father in a family.

"This story begins with a fruit fly..." Sieg deliberately lowered his voice and began to tell the story.

The surrounding cells were empty, with only Ace present. By lowering their voices, the prisoners in the distance could not hear their conversation.

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

"The radiant Pirate King disbanded his pirate crew, preparing to die and usher in a new era with his death."

"Heroes die, and eras change; this is like the end and the beginning of an epic story...it should be this way."

"But he still wanted to live, and he still had the will to survive."

"He suffered from an incurable disease, but he had no regrets about his pirate career. His last wish before his death, to marry and have children like an ordinary person, has also been fulfilled."

"He is the Pirate King, and also a husband and father in a new family."

"So, he got a new name."

"Roger Wang".

Sigurd briefly recounted Roger and Rouge's choices, as well as their journey through the future using the Time-Time Fruit, their cure of their terminal illness, and their eventual retirement back to the East Blue.

Is...that's how it is?

Ace twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression somewhat dazed;

“He never mentioned any of this to me.”

Sig gave Ace a deep look.

"As an outsider, I won't say much about your family relationships."

"However, what just happened is all true, and I did not embellish it."

Ace didn't speak. He leaned against the prison fence, the Whitebeard Pirates' insignia half-obscured by shadows on his bare back.

Ace already had the Whitebeard Pirates' symbol tattooed on his back. According to the unspoken rules of the pirate world, only members of the pirate crew or blood relatives would come to his rescue.

It was not appropriate for others to interfere.

"Thank you for telling me all this," Ace said.

“But speaking of family relationships… there’s something else I’ve always wanted to ask, but I don’t know if I should say it.” Ace turned to look at Sig, hesitant to speak.

"speak."

"I've always been curious..." Ace asked, a puzzled look on his face.

"Why do Marco and the others on the ship all call you 'Old Man of the Whitebeard Pirates'?"

"Shut up!" Sig's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted to stop him.

His face turned slightly pale. He ignored Ace and stood up, walking deeper into the cell.

After chatting with Ace for a while, the sweat on my body had cooled down.

However, instead of starting the next set of exercises, Sieg sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and began the life return process.

Although I was physically exhausted, I was mentally quite active, with a strong mental awareness scanning my entire body.

Basic bodyweight training can stimulate muscle growth. Adding active muscle growth manipulation through life recovery on top of that can make the training twice as effective.

About half an hour later, Sieg opened his eyes.

“It’s been about a week since we started from Luoshan Island.”

A thought struck him, and he opened his inventory, took out a bottle of telekinetic potion from the time-stopped space, and drank it down.

Before long, the telekinetic power almost boiled under the influence of the drug. The surging power filled the whole body, making the skin turn red. The intense pain spread throughout the body, and the whole body trembled violently. A little blood seeped out of the skin and, under the influence of the inexplicable power, shot out in all directions, staining a small section of the wall blood red.

Sig took a deep breath.

He opened his eyes, about to use his telekinesis to clean up the bloodstains deep inside the cell, when footsteps approached from outside the door.

The tall figure of Warden Magellan had reached the cell door, peering in with suspicion at the bloodstains deep inside.

He had just been drawn by the prisoners' unusual breathing and was about to find out what was going on when he saw blood staining half the wall.

His eyes narrowed suddenly as he carefully examined Sieg, whose body was covered in large patches of blood.

Magellan summoned the doctor from Impel Down, who examined him carefully for a long time.

"There are no obvious wounds on his body, but the amount of bleeding is quite significant... Could he have a tendency to self-harm?"

Magellan frowned, feeling that things were getting increasingly difficult.

What exactly is the meaning behind Sieg's move?

Is it because of a physical abnormality, some strange disease, or is there something else going on?

Magellan rubbed his temples; he felt he was about to have insomnia.

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

time flies.

While Sieg was in Impel Down, working out with his fellow inmates, Higuma was training at Marine Headquarters using more efficient equipment.

Two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past two weeks, undercurrents have been surging on the high seas, with major powers taking various actions, and the navy has gradually felt a tense atmosphere that is quite different from usual.

On this day, the Straw Hat Pirates finally arrived at the end of the first half of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago.

Like other Supernova pirate crews gathered on Sabaody Archipelago, this pirate crew was unaware of the undercurrents sweeping across the world. They were simply planning to coat themselves and head to the New World to continue their pirate adventures.
