I the King of bandits of the East Sea
Chapter 262 - 262 The Truth about the Angel Fruit and the Great Secret Treasure
"I'm in a hurry, let's get straight to the point."
Waiters served several desserts, including liqueur chocolates, cream mousse cake, and so on.
Sig only took a couple of simple bites before getting straight to the point.
The female reporter, Tiramisu, sitting opposite him, her eyes lit up.
"Then, let the exclusive interview begin."
"Mr. Sig, I heard you were quite active in the Sabaody Archipelago recently... How were you able to reach the Sabaody Archipelago so quickly, and then arrive here on Mousse Island so fast?"
It started with the main event right away.
"The reason is simple. Someone imitated my face."
Sig pointed to his face and said directly.
"I've been sailing this whole time. How could I possibly travel back and forth from Sabaody Archipelago so quickly?"
"Someone must have ill intentions and deliberately impersonated me."
Sig squinted his eyes and said.
"Really? I don't believe it," the female reporter Tiramisu immediately replied.
As soon as she said this, the interview team beside her was stunned, sweat appearing on their foreheads.
Sig was also stunned.
This reporter, was she really a famous reporter?
But the female reporter named Tiramisu continued to press as if nothing had happened:
"Assuming the person attending the auction was not Mr. Sig yourself, then was the Angel Fruit he presented real or fake?"
"The Angel Fruit exists!" Sig said firmly.
"However, whether the Angel Fruit eaten by that pirate named Teach is real or fake, I cannot guarantee."
"Perhaps that person impersonating me found the Angel Fruit I secretly hid somewhere, who knows."
Sig smiled slightly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the reporter team immediately changed.
Sig personally admitted the existence of the Angel Fruit and claimed it was related to treasure? This was huge news!
"Mr. Sig, you just mentioned treasure..."
The female reporter's gaze instantly sharpened.
"Is the Angel Fruit related to your great treasure, the One Piece?"
"Of course, it's related. Next, I will tell you the truth about the One Piece!"
Sig took a sip of his drink and said.
He had already thought this through thoroughly beforehand.
The current situation was such that even if he stood up and denied the authenticity of the Angel Fruit, the world probably wouldn't believe him.
Because of the anomaly that was Teach.
So he planned to divert the heat of the Angel Fruit onto Blackbeard Teach, and then take the opportunity... to make a large sum of money.
"After finishing this last job and earning enough money, I can follow my plan, wash my hands of this, change my identity, and start anew."
Sig thought to himself.
However, the female reporter couldn't remain calm.
"The truth about the One Piece? Didn't Mr. Sig already personally sell the treasure map? And back then, it was mentioned that it was related to the Celestial Dragons' national treasure."
"Could it be that this is also fake?"
The female reporter asked in surprise.
"No, the One Piece truly exists, it's just that its form is somewhat different from what you previously imagined."
Sig smiled slightly, took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, and spread it on the table.
This was clearly a treasure map, but the pattern on it was completely different from the treasure map that appeared on Whole Cake Island.
"The name One Piece wasn't chosen randomly."
Sig said meaningfully.
"This is the great treasure I've cherished my whole life. How could I sell the treasure map so easily?"
"The treasure map of the One Piece has four different parts. Each part points to a treasure, containing priceless treasures within. Each part is no less valuable than the Celestial Dragons' treasury."
"And within these four treasures lie corresponding clues, pointing to the final treasure, the true One Piece."
Sig smiled slightly, his eyes gradually becoming somewhat distant.
"Find all four of these treasures, and you can reach the final mountain and obtain my One Piece."
"This..."
The reporters were stunned by this news, unsure what to say for a moment.
Among them, the leading female reporter's eyes flickered slightly, seeming to have thought of something.
"I wonder if it's convenient for Mr. Sig to answer, what treasures does the final One Piece actually contain?"
Sig chuckled.
"Pirate King Roger is said to possess all the treasures in the world. The great treasure he left behind is called One Piece."
"And I, yet I dare to call my own great treasure the One Piece."
"Imagine why I have such confidence."
Finished speaking, Sig continued to sip his drink.
Sig's subtext was still very clear; he wasn't prepared to reveal the details of the One Piece.
After all, Sig hadn't even started making up that part yet.
However, the female reporter Tiramisu replied again:
"I can't imagine."
Sig almost spat out the drink in his mouth, looking at the female reporter somewhat stunned.
This woman, was she doing this on purpose?
Sig frowned slightly.
"I've said enough. I'm still in a hurry..." He already intended to end the interview.
Unexpectedly, the female reporter continued to ask:
"Then, Mr. Sig, can I ask one last question?"
Without waiting for Sig's reply, the female reporter spoke:
"Mr. Sig, may I ask what the secret to your strength is?"
"What is the difference between you and other pirates, other bandits?"
Hearing this question, Sig, who was about to stand up and leave, paused.
A long time ago, Sig had indeed heard similar questions... somewhat nostalgic.
"This isn't impossible to answer."
Sig smiled, gently tapping his temple with his finger.
"Because of brains."
Sig sighed slightly, feeling a bit nostalgic.
For so long, he had basically relied on his own wit, intelligence, and handsomeness to overcome one difficulty after another. Thinking about it, it wasn't easy.
"Because of brains..."
Tiramisu thought for a moment, then suddenly understood:
"Do other pirates have more brains than you?"
Sig's face instantly darkened.
"Miss Tiramisu, I also want to ask you a question."
"How did you grow up this big without getting beaten to death?"
Sig asked with a dark face.
"This question, many people have asked me."
Tiramisu smiled.
"Probably because my mother's name is Charlotte Linlin."
"Hmm?"
Sig's heart jolted, but his face remained calm.
"So you're BIG MOM's daughter? No wonder."
Sig said faintly:
"Then do you know what my identity is?"
Can't lose face even if you lose... He, the dignified Bandit King, regardless of his inner thoughts, couldn't lose face in front of a bunch of reporters.
"Sig's identity? Isn't he just a one-billion-bounty great pirate?"
Tiramisu couldn't quite guess Sig's meaning.
Could it be he had another identity? One that would make Charlotte Linlin's daughter have to look at him differently?
Tiramisu looked at Sig's face for a couple of moments, an idea suddenly popping into her head, and she blurted out:
"Could it be you're.... one of my mother's former husbands?"
