I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"We understand."

Jinbe glanced at Sig's retreating figure and nodded emphatically.

After doing all this, Sig saw that his chuunibyou energy had quietly recovered by seven or eight points.

The execution platform assault team, consisting of Luffy, Sabo, and others, was a lone force that had been separated by the heavy navy.

Once they complete this final leg of their journey and reunite with the main force of the mountain and sea bandits, it will be time for the mountain and sea bandits to withdraw from the battlefield.

The other generals and elite lieutenant generals were blocked by Whitebeard, Marco, and others.

Even Barrett, who always loves to cause trouble, was blocked by her own shadow clone.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Akainu in front of us will be the last enemy.

Akainu's arm transformed into a molten lava fist that suddenly extended and shot towards Sigurd. His attack was extremely fast and powerful.

But Sigurd's black flames were quick to follow, the swirling black flames flying out to form a black wall of fire. Akainu's attack struck the wall of fire like a mud ox sinking into the sea, merging into the darkness.

“Strange flames…” Akainu frowned.

Sig glanced at the panel displaying his chuunibyou energy.

Yongtaeka's compatibility is 89%.

Chuunibyou energy: 83/176

After battling Sengoku, Blackbeard, and others, his chuunibyou energy was also significantly depleted, especially Blackbeard's.

Blackbeard is not weak; the wounds he inflicted on Shanks still cause Shanks pain to this day, and he used them to warn Whitebeard.

Furthermore, since Blackbeard himself is a special Logia-type Devil Fruit user who cannot transform into an elemental form, Higuma activated the fourth stage of Blackflame Master in order to thoroughly defeat Blackbeard.

Both the fourth stage and the Mind World require 150 points of Chuunibyou energy to unlock, and once unlocked, Chuunibyou energy will be consumed rapidly with each move and over time.

At this point, Sig's second energy was nearly half depleted, but he was still in the fourth stage.

“Akainu is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. As long as he is in his elemental form, the black flames with energy annihilation effect in the second stage are enough to harm him.”

"But I only have 83 points of Chuunibyou energy left. If I switch to the low-cost second stage to conserve Chuunibyou energy, I can still deal with Akainu, but I won't be able to enter the fourth stage again..."

After careful consideration, Sig decided not to withdraw from the fourth stage, but to continue fighting Akainu in this way, so that there would be a moment later when he would need to use the fourth stage black flames.

Akainu is probably the last enemy. As long as we can stop him, we can start our retreat, so it's okay even if we run out of chuunibyou energy.

A few more cheesy, self-proclaimed cool lines from a delusional teenager can help restore some of that cheesy energy and make oneself last longer.

Thinking of this, the pitch-black flames swirling around Sieg began to burn fiercely.

"It's a pity." Sig looked at the navy men in front of him and spoke softly:

"Navy, this road is blocked."

As he stretched out his hand, a long wall of fire, burning fiercely behind him, stretched four or five meters high and almost spanned the entire naval headquarters battlefield.

This wall of fire directly divided the entire battlefield in two.

At this moment, Sieg was located in the middle of the square, and he was the only one there.

Most of the mountain bandits and sea pirates fought against the navy on the front lines of the battlefield, namely the frozen glaciers in the harbors and the near-shore ports.

Sig is on this side, and the other pirates and bandits are on the other side.

"Is he going to cover our retreat? All by himself?" Many pirates and bandits couldn't help but turn around and look at the man's back behind the dark wall of fire, their hearts pounding.

The white-bearded man, leaning on his naginata, couldn't help but look up.

On this battlefield, the one who bore the brunt of the attacks was Whitebeard. No one understood the dangers of the Navy's elite human wave tactics better than him.

Before undergoing surgery by Crocus and Law, he had suffered a total of 267 stab wounds, 192 bullet wounds, and 46 artillery shell wounds...

His body was riddled with bullets, leaving him completely battered. Only Law, the user of the Op-Op Fruit, was able to remove the bullets and shell fragments from Whitebeard's body without sustaining any damage. No one else could have alleviated Whitebeard's injuries.

If the navy's human wave tactics were ineffective, the Sengoku period wouldn't have needed to risk losing control of other sea areas by drawing 100,000 elite troops from around the world to fight a Marineford War.

The elite naval personnel can imbue bullets with Armament Haki to increase their destructive power.

Whitebeard wasn't immortal or made of steel; he was made of flesh and blood. He might be able to withstand dozens or hundreds of bullets, but thousands upon thousands of bullets would be too much for him to handle.

Therefore, at this moment when Ace and the others were about to reunite, Sig, who had taken the initiative to cover the rear, was alone and surrounded by the Navy, and was actually in an extremely dangerous situation.

"I'll go help." Marco flapped his wings and was about to fly over.

"Wait, don't go." The white-bearded man slammed his naginata down on the ground, making a crisp "thud" sound.

"Don't underestimate Sig's resolve."

"The only thing we can do is rejoin Ace and the others as soon as possible and then withdraw from the battlefield!" Whitebeard shouted.

"Everyone must return safely to the new world!"

"Everyone!"

He gazed at Sieg's retreating figure behind the wall of fire and silently said:

"Sig, too."

"No one in this world has had a harder time dying than him."

On the other side of the firewall.

"Charge! I'll handle Sig!" Akainu pointed at the wall of fire in front of him and shouted in a deep voice.

He was used to tackling the toughest challenges, but at this moment, the expressions on the faces of his naval men seemed a little unnatural.

Even if Admiral Akainu personally intervenes to restrain Sigurd, Sigurd's flames can burn even Akainu, so how can they charge in?

"Use Moonwalk to get over there!" a naval captain shouted. He used Moonwalk to propel himself into the air and quickly rushed to a position ten meters above the black wall of fire.

But in that instant, a psychic force, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing into the air, struck him head-on like an invisible giant wave, slamming him back to the ground, creating a shallow crater, and leaving him bleeding from his head.

"Is there an invisible wall?" the colonel exclaimed.

"This wall is at least ten meters high and stretches across the entire battlefield? Such a massive wall? What kind of capability does it possess?"

"What ability it is doesn't matter." Vice Admiral Onigumo roared, stepping on the Moonwalk to rush towards the invisible wall, his hands and the six arms formed by his long hair behind him, a total of eight long swords, were swung out.

Covered in jet-black Armament Haki, the eight swords seemed to transform into a spinning top, the sword light swirling like a whirlwind as it continuously slashed at the air wall, forcefully squeezing through the telekinetic air wall.

The wall is too big, and the telekinetic power is scattered, so it's unrealistic to expect it to stop an elite vice admiral like Onigumo.

"They've broken through!"

Just as Onigumo broke through the invisible wall, before he could even rejoice for a few seconds, he felt a murderous gaze fall on his face.

"Didn't Sieg say... this road is blocked?"

Whitebeard raised his muscular left arm, and once again raised his fist above his shoulder before delivering a powerful blow.

Clang!

Amidst the crisp cracking sound, a powerful shockwave pierced through the air, almost engulfing the entire battlefield.

The entire island trembled violently. The foundation of the plaza cracked, and with a series of cracking sounds, a bottomless chasm rapidly formed behind the firewall, forty or fifty meters wide, as if an abyss had suddenly split open.

Just as Onigumo broke through the invisible wall, he felt a blur before his eyes, as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer. His vision blurred, and like countless other marines on the ground, he fell headlong into the newly formed abyss like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Firewall, telekinetic air wall, and the abyss that Whitebeard just tore open.

These three walls tore open the battlefield, separating Sig from the other mountain bandits and sea pirates.

Hearing the noise, Sieg couldn't help but glance behind him, and then saw the huge trench behind the wall of fire, almost making him dumbfounded.

He just wanted to indulge in some chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) and boost his chuunibyou energy, and Whitebeard just helped him take the plunge?

"Is Sieg planning to cover their retreat?"

"At least they have some backbone. But it's pointless; we can't let the pirates escape like this." Zephyr shook his head and gave the order to his subordinates to activate the Marine Headquarters' encirclement system.

The Marineford War was a trap set for the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger.

Below sea level, on the outskirts of the main harbor, there are pre-installed metal walls.

Once these walls, tens of meters high, are raised, the entire Marineford will become a walled city. These metal walls are stronger than steel, precisely designed to trap fish in a barrel.

In the original work, this encirclement system was not a complete system. Due to the blood of Oars Jr., the ancient giant of the Whitebeard Pirates, seeping into the ground, the machinery malfunctioned. At the same time, his own enormous corpse also blocked the rise of the wall.

But this time, it's different.

Zefa waited for a long time, but the wall remained unmoved. Soon, the messenger returned, sweating profusely.

"General Zephyr... the wall can't be raised. The internal transmission mechanism of the encirclement system has been secretly sabotaged!"

"What? Destroyed?" Zephyr was shocked; he knew what that meant.

Since its establishment, the Marine Headquarters has never been invaded by a large-scale army, so the encirclement system surrounding the entire island has never been used. Not to mention pirates, only a very few high-ranking officers in the Marines know about the existence of this encirclement system.

However, if we're talking about specifically sabotaging the walls and mechanisms before the war...

"There must be a traitor among us!" Zefa thought to himself, then suddenly chuckled.

A mole? Isn't he himself?

He just hasn't betrayed us yet.

“Of course I didn’t do this. But who is the other mole?” Zephyr frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Sengoku was knocked down by a toy-like slingshot—it was ridiculously over-the-top. Garp's unconsciousness also seemed like child's play... Could it be them?

Regardless of what Zephyr was thinking, seeing that the wall had not been raised for a long time, Akainu and the other marines also noticed something was wrong.

"The operation plan has failed once again..." Akainu looked at Sig in front of him:

"Other routes are blocked; it seems they're determined to cut off our retreat."

"Attack together!" Akainu growled.

"Netherhound!"

The fist transformed into magma and shot out. The attack was extremely fast; a burst of fire flashed past and struck Sieg's chest with a muffled thud.

"You didn't dodge?" Akainu was slightly surprised.

Actually, it wasn't that Sieg didn't want to dodge, but rather that it was difficult for him to dodge.

Shadow Clone is not suitable for using Sig's overly conspicuous moves, and Sig is also not convenient to use the Six Styles or the Life Return Paper Drawing Martial Body Form.

This means that Higuma's strength is currently limited in close-quarters combat, and he is still a long way from being a powerful admiral like Akainu.
