I the King of bandits of the East Sea

Just as Sig was grieving over his misfortune, a voice suddenly echoed in his ears, and a glowing screen unfolded before him.

"Achievement Quest: Bounty exceeds 100 million berries. Reward: One chance to draw a random Possession Card."

Achievement Quests were one of the subcategories within the mission module, featuring a wide variety of challenges. Most of them, however, were quite difficult.

For example:

Headshot the Four Emperors with a Bottle (0/56)

Mountain Bandit King (Occupy the Holy Land of Mariejois)

Due to the sheer number of quests, Sig hadn't paid much attention to them. He hadn't expected one to suddenly pop up now.

Without hesitation, Sig focused his thoughts and found himself immersed in a vast starry sky.

"Ridiculous system, can you please grant me something invincible for once?"

Sig prayed silently in his heart.

Before long, starlight gathered and coalesced, forming a single silver card.

This time, the card depicted a teenage boy wearing a modern hoodie.

Possession Card: Wang Mouze (100%)

Quality: A-Class

Origin: ???

Usage Limit: Two times

Character Restriction: None

Ability: Iron-Boned Integrity — When the target makes a negative promise, if the check succeeds, the Iron-Boned Integrity effect is triggered, causing the target to inevitably break their promise after a period of time.

Silly Buff returns stronger than ever.

Unlike the previous Morgan Possession Card, this Wang Mouze Card offered two uses this time.

The key point: It could be applied to himself! The utility was enormous! Absolutely fantastic!

Returning to reality, Sig's mood quickly plummeted again.

The current situation… was dire.

Getting involved with the Revolutionary Army was clearly a misstep. His current bounty was undoubtedly partially due to being perceived as associated with them!

At this thought, Sig's frustration deepened.

For now, he couldn't entirely sever ties with the Revolutionary Army.

The reason was simple: he didn't have enough experienced sailors under his command.

The pirate ship Sig was currently on—originally belonging to the Bursam Pirates—was a large vessel capable of accommodating hundreds of people, but it required a certain number of crew members to operate.

The problem was that Sig's subordinates were mostly mountain bandits, with only a handful, like Baldy, having any sailing experience.

Over the past few days of escaping from the Goa Kingdom, the ship had been sailing smoothly thanks to the assistance of Revolutionary Army soldiers.

Sig had already instructed his men to learn maritime skills from the Revolutionary Army, but this wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.

Half an hour later.

The pirate ship gradually slowed down until it came to a complete stop.

The refugee fleet had reached its planned destination—Shimotsuki Village.

At the pier, a towering, bear-like figure was already waiting.

Bartholomew Kuma, the Tyrant, following the Revolutionary Army's plans, hadn't participated in the End Station Inferno but had been working behind the scenes to gather food supplies.

"Finally, land..."

The mountain bandits under Sig's command scattered in all directions as they rushed ashore.

Baldy was about to join them, but Sig placed a hand on his shoulder, stopping him.

"Wait. I have an important task for you."

"Go to the market and purchase supplies: maritime books, and also… visit any nearby weapon shops or blacksmiths to commission some custom weapons."

Sig patted the long sword at his waist and handed Baldy a stack of sketches he had drawn himself.

The sketches included peculiar designs, such as a sword that appeared normal at first glance but had a 30-centimeter-long spike protruding from its back. It looked more like a mace than a sword.

"Also, buy a few bottles of strong acid and poison— the more lethal, the better."

Sig gave the orders decisively.

As a righteous swordsman, these were all essential tools.

On the pirate ship that the Revolutionary Army had gifted to Sig, there were still treasures looted by the pirates. Although not an enormous amount, it was more than enough to purchase necessary supplies.

Baldy nodded and was about to leave but was stopped again by Sig.

"Wait, where's Morgan?" Sig asked.

Baldy glanced toward the anchored pirate ship.

"He locked himself up after seeing his bounty poster."

Sig nodded slightly.

He had also seen Morgan's bounty poster: 10 million berries, with the title "Axe Emperor."

Sig didn't pay much attention to the amount.

The Navy likely couldn't accurately gauge Morgan's strength, assuming Garp had simply let his guard down, which led to the relatively low bounty.

While 10 million wasn't exceptionally high, for a rookie Marine, it signified that the World Government now considered him a criminal and a Marine traitor.

Morgan had now boarded the pirate ship and could no longer turn back.

After finishing the discussion about Morgan, Baldy was about to leave again, but Sig stopped him once more.

"Wait, add one more thing to the shopping list."

Sig had a sudden thought—he wasn't righteous enough, and his imagination wasn't bold enough.

In the world of One Piece, the tech tree might be bizarre, but electrical appliances still existed.

As the righteous Mountain Bandit King, Sig could absolutely arm himself with even more righteous equipment.

"Baldy, get me a chainsaw too. One that looks like a sword."

Baldy left, utterly bewildered.

After taking care of everything, Sig turned and gazed deeply in the direction of Shimotsuki Village's dojo.

He had his reasons for all this.

Upon learning that the Revolutionary Army's destination was Shimotsuki Village, he immediately formed this plan.

Speaking of Shimotsuki Village, one couldn't overlook Isshin Dojo, as well as Koshiro and Zoro.

Not only were these two important characters, but they were also connected to swords, potentially offering a chance to increase the compatibility of Li Jing's Character Card.

For Sig, who was eager to quickly boost Li Jing Card's compatibility, this was a crucial opportunity.

Once all the preparations were complete, he would visit Isshin Dojo with his spiked sword and chainsaw sword in hand.

"I've heard that you have one of the 21 Great Grade Blades, the Wado Ichimonji?"

"I wonder which is faster: your Great Grade Blade or my chainsaw sword?"

"I, Sig, will one day prove the way of the sword with my chainsaw! I'll make my chainsaw worthy of joining the ranks of the Supreme Grade Blades!"

As Sig indulged in his wild fantasies, nearby, Ivankov and Kuma were quietly conversing, occasionally glancing at Sig's pirate ship.

"Buru-buru-buru..."

While they were speaking, the Den Den Mushi in Ivankov's arms began to ring.

"It's Dragon calling," Ivankov said.

Due to staying behind to cover the retreat, Dragon had not yet joined up with the refugee fleet.

"Ivankov, that Marine rookie by Sig's side—Morgan—how's your observation going?"

Dragon's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

Hearing this, Ivankov irritably scratched their blue afro.

Unlike Dragon, Ivankov actually had some impression of Morgan.

During the Navy branch's siege of Sig, Ivankov had observed the whole thing.

That awkward Marine rookie who acted alongside Sig, Morgan, was just a naive Marine recruit back then.

But later, he suddenly made a name for himself, even managing to injure the Marine Hero Garp—a feat that seemed inexplicably bizarre no matter how one looked at it.
