I the King of bandits of the East Sea

"Boss, are we finally preparing to set sail?"

The mountain bandits all revealed expressions of excitement.

For a man whose goal was to conquer the Holy Land of Mariejois as the King of Mountain Bandits, it was impossible for him to remain in this small place of the Goa Kingdom forever.

Setting sail was simply a matter of course.

In fact, many of the mountain bandits had already been secretly itching for action for a long time.

Sig nodded and said:

"Quickly patch yourselves up and get ready to head to sea."

"Boss, but… do we even have a ship?"

Sig smiled faintly:

"Isn't there a ship at the terminal port that belongs to the Bursam Pirates?"

Having just dealt with the allied forces' encirclement, the Sig Bandit Gang was at its peak morale. As for the Bursam Pirates, whose reputation had always been weaker than Sig's, they naturally didn't even register as a threat.

"Boss Sig, there's one more thing. This unconscious Navy guy… Are you really planning to take him in?"

The bald mountain bandit glanced at the unconscious body of Morgan lying on the ground.

"Of course I am! I'm going to train Morgan to become a Grand Admiral-level Mythical Being!"

Sig waved his hand, full of confidence.

He imagined years later, under his command, Morgan wielding a single axe to take down Garp on the battlefield.

What would he say in that moment?

"I have Grand Admiral Morgan, who can cut down Garp!"

It wouldn't just be Morgan as a mythical being. Sig even considered gathering other legends from the seas.

For example, the Mountain Bandit Empress Dadan, who had beaten Garp senseless; Yosaku and Sword Saint Johnny, who nearly defeated Mihawk; and even the lord of the coast who ignored Shanks' Conqueror's Haki and devoured one of his arms—it wouldn't be impossible to consider recruiting them...

Once Sig had assembled so many dream-level figures, it would be time to overthrow the world!

Mountain Bandit King Sig would reign over the Holy Land of Mariejois and usher in the Great Era of Mountain Bandits!

Cough, just kidding.

Sig, of course, wasn't naive enough to believe that Morgan actually had the potential to reach Grand Admiral-level strength.

As for the idea of "I defeated Morgan, so by extension, I'm as good as the Pirate King," he was just entertaining himself with that thought in his head.

Someone as smart and witty as Sig could never take internet bravado seriously.

Looking at the unconscious Morgan, Sig's expression grew contemplative.

He was seriously considering taking Morgan under his wing, at least temporarily.

Morgan's only unique trait was that he had barely withstood the faint pressure of the Emperor Engine and had the courage to fight Sig head-on.

Even the highest-ranking commander in this battle, Colonel Carvin, didn't have the courage to do what Morgan did.

"This Morgan has what it takes to be my punching bag, a test subject for the effects of the Emperor Engine." That was Sig's real thought.

Who was Morgan? What made him special? It certainly wasn't some mythical Grand Admiral-level strength.

Most people's impression of Morgan was that of a cruel and arrogant Navy Branch Captain.

However, Sig, who was familiar with the One Piece storyline, knew there was more to it.

Morgan had once been a passionate and brave recruit, but his life—and his personality—were forever changed after an encounter with Captain Kuro of the Black Cat Pirates.

During that event, all the Navy soldiers aboard the warship were slaughtered by Kuro and the Black Cat Pirates. Recruit Morgan had his arm chopped off and his jaw shattered, but he still roared in defiance at Kuro.

This moment earned a sliver of respect from Kuro, who then ordered the hypnotist Jango to hypnotize Morgan into believing he had captured Kuro.

This hypnosis drastically altered Morgan's personality.

Later, Morgan was promoted to Ensign for his so-called achievement, and over time, he rose to the rank of Captain of the Navy's 153rd Branch, becoming a cruel and arrogant individual who was completely unrecognizable.

This is the original story where, a few years later, these events will occur.

At this moment, however, Morgan is just a 37-year-old late-joining hot-blooded recruit who has just enlisted in the Navy.

Morgan's appearance served as a wake-up call for Sig.

"The Emperor's Engine, it seems, is not omnipotent."

The Emperor's Engine might have a miraculous effect on some people, especially those who overthink.

But for some hot-headed fools, reckless individuals, or overly self-confident strongmen, it might not work at all.

King, from One Punch Man, has also encountered multiple crises and tests from powerful individuals.

Sig is ultimately not the same as King; he does not have the ability to summon the caped bald hero.

If a hot-blooded fool like Morgan can barely resist the pressure of a faintly active Emperor's Engine, then what about next time, if an even stronger enemy appears?

For example, Kaido's crew of the Beast Pirates, a group full of reckless brutes.

Or… Garp.

Previously, Sig met Garp only because he mentioned Roger and Ace, events tied to secrets that Garp has borne for many years, forcing Garp to stop and think.

If they were to encounter Garp unprepared somewhere in the Grand Line, there might not even be a chance to speak.

On a distant mountaintop.

Emporio Ivankov, the King of Kamabakka, had watched the entire battle, yet his expression remained extremely strange.

"In a way, Dragon will probably regret not seeing this bizarre battle with his own eyes."

Ivankov muttered to himself.

This fight was completely different from what he had imagined.

Although Sig took action, it was more like an awkward and poor performance with a Navy recruit.

"Sig-boy is truly a dangerous individual. We revolutionaries should definitely avoid becoming his enemy…"

"And also, is he really thinking about training that Navy recruit into someone surpassing the Admirals?"

This ridiculous conclusion gave Ivankov quite the headache.

However, there was another point that caught his attention.

"Sig-boy is preparing to set sail? This figure who has been lying dormant in Goa Kingdom for so many years is finally about to reveal his fangs. Is his grand plan also about to begin?"

Half an hour later, in the Goa Kingdom Royal Palace.

The king received a report from Park, the commander of the fleeing Kingdom Army, about the defeat in battle.

"Defeated by bandits? The Bursam Pirates have also fallen? The Sig Bandit Crew has appeared in the Terminal area, possibly preparing to attack the royal city?"

The king frowned slightly but was not overly concerned.

"As expected, I should not have placed my hopes on mere pirates... Forget it, proceed with the original plan and ignite the Gray Terminal."

The king casually gave the order.

According to the Kingdom's plan, the Kingdom Army had already prepared the firewood. After the bandits were dealt with and the troops returned, having the pirates ignite the Gray Terminal would have been ideal.

However, the king had not pinned his hopes on the pirates. If they failed, the Kingdom Army would handle the ignition.

Even though the siege had failed and the Sig Bandit Crew posed a potential threat, igniting the Gray Terminal would cut off the path to the royal city and ensure stability during the imminent visit of the Celestial Dragons.

The Gray Terminal, filled with flammable materials, would not be difficult to set ablaze
