I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

But then something astonished Akainu: the area hit by the lava showed no signs of burning, and even Sig's clothes were not ignited.

What he didn't notice was that a crack had quietly appeared in the silver glove on Sieg's left hand.

"It's Boruto, I added Boruto."

After Vegapunk added a layer of Boruto pages as an insulating layer to the gloves, the Wapol alloy gloves possessed both high defensive capabilities and complete heat insulation, transforming into an invisible armor that protected Sigurd's entire body.

Even if Akainu hits Higuma in the chest, Boruto will be immune to the high temperature of the lava.

Sig raised his hand, his free right hand grabbing the magma-flowing fist that Akainu had punched into his chest. The magma quickly disappeared, and Akainu lost his powers.

Taking advantage of Akainu's momentary surprise, Sig slightly bent his leg, with jet-black flames swirling around his toes, resembling a black version of Diable Jambe.

His muscular left leg lashed out like a whip, delivering a powerful, swift kick that struck Akainu's chest.

There was a loud cracking sound.

As Akainu flew backward, the black flames that had been wrapped around Sigurd's legs spread to Akainu's body, causing him to feel a searing pain once again.

Sig rubbed the spot on his chest and abdomen where he had been hit. Although his body was protected by iron blocks and Armament Haki gloves, which made him immune to the high temperature of Akainu's fist, the Admiral's punch was still quite painful.

He moved swiftly, about to give chase while Akainu was being scorched by the black flames, when he heard a roar in the distance:

"Cover General Sakazuki, fire!"

In an instant, a dense barrage of bullets and shells came from all directions. Most of them were blocked by the telekinetic wind wall, but the remaining bullets and shells struck Sieg's body like raindrops, slowing his momentum.

After this salvo, Sig's clothes were riddled with bullet holes, each bullet embedded in his skin, with drops of blood trickling out.

"It worked! Our attack was effective..."

"Yes, Sieg is, after all, only flesh and blood." The navy personnel breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“After so many battles, Sieg must be in poor condition. We should keep firing.”

Sieg glanced down at himself. He was riddled with bullets.

The Life Return was activated, and the skin on the body began to wriggle slightly, squeezing out the bullets embedded in the skin one by one, which fell to the ground with a clatter.

Then, the wound on the skin twitched slightly again. The bleeding wound had stopped, and the turned-out flesh closed up on its own.

"Although it's just a minor injury, it can definitely interfere with my movements, so I can't just sit idly by."

Sig thought to himself.

He opened his inventory and started gnawing on a large piece of meat, allowing his wounds to heal completely.

Sig glanced furtively behind him.

As long as he continues to hold off Akainu and the other Marines... in about six or seven minutes... at most ten minutes, Ace, Sabo, and the others will definitely be able to rejoin the main force.

"Ten minutes... is enough."

The next moment, a coffin lid appeared in his hand.

Item Card: Newton's Coffin Board

Quality: S-grade

Limit: 5 attempts, 10 minutes each (2 attempts remaining)

Ability: This is not Newton's domain—when holding a coffin lid, one can distort reality through words, creating an anti-Newtonian phenomenon.

Newton's Wrath—After the Anti-Newtonian phenomenon occurs, the user will be pursued by the dead. Each use deepens the curse, intensifies the distortion, and strengthens the dead. The curse will be temporarily suppressed after the dead steal the coffin lid.

Sieg whispered:

"My skin is an ideally smooth surface with zero friction."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sieg felt a change in his skin. The rain of bullets that were spraying from all directions hit his skin and bounced off at a slight angle, clattering and clanging onto the ground around him.

"What's going on? The attack failed again?"

"Our bullets are clearly coated with Armament Haki. Even Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users like those with the Gum-Gum Fruit should be injured by our attack, right?" The Marines were surprised again.

Smooth skin with zero friction... In the world of One Piece, this is the effect of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit.

Zero-friction skin allows it to glide off a large number of attacks, making it impossible for swords and bullets to hit it. This is a powerful ability, and over time, this ability to glide off attacks will become even stronger.

"Now, we can begin."

Sig glanced coldly around; even bullets imbued with Armament Haki were now negligible to him.

He subtly used telekinesis to make Newton's coffin lid press tightly against his back.

The man carried a coffin lid on his back, walking along the edge of an abyss. Behind him, black flames roared, forming a high wall. He moved forward amidst a hail of bullets, shells, and blades, but they were all deflected by him. No one could stop his progress.

This scene was witnessed by many people on the battlefield.

In particular, Essabo and the other bandits deeply remembered the back of the man who covered the rear and blocked the enemy.

"I've made up my mind, I want to become Sig," Yamato suddenly said from the crowd.

Roger and Whitebeard on the battlefield exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat bewildered.

Sig was incredibly active on the battlefield. Riding on auspicious clouds, he could traverse the battlefield at high speed, something neither Whitebeard nor Roger could do.

For a moment, they felt a subtle sense of unease.

Yes... what are they here for?

They were clearly there to save Sig and Ace.

Higuma and Ace are hostages in the hands of the Navy!

It was one thing for the hostage to jump out and save himself, winning the match between the two of them, but later he was able to rescue the seriously injured Whitebeard while still alive and kicking. In the end, the hostage was even prepared to cover their retreat alone so that they could evacuate safely.

Is something not quite right here?

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

Amidst a hail of bullets, Sieg stepped forward, his invisible telekinetic energy constantly gathering, brewing a terrifying storm, while the dark flames swirling around his left hand slowly expanded.

"Earthquake!"

Sig's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints. He stretched out his right hand, and a torrent of psychic power poured out like a tidal wave. In an instant, the ground beneath his feet trembled and deformed like waves, then transformed into a gigantic maw that swallowed up the entire group of Marines, including Akainu.

As the dust settled, a small hill appeared on the spot, and Akainu and the rest of the Marines were suppressed beneath it.

"A massive fireball!"

The raging black flames on his left hand suddenly expanded, and a giant black flame fist the size of a house burst forth from the sky, falling down to completely engulf Akainu and the others, along with the small mountain.

Akainu was completely enveloped in black flames, his body burning as he let out low growls.

"Ok?"

The golden lion, suspended high in the sky, suddenly paused and glanced at the battlefield of Sig below.

Lion's Might - Earth Scroll?

Isn't that his Float-Float Fruit technique?

And the Great Fireball... if he remembered correctly, it should be Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit technique.

For a moment, Shiki didn't know what expression to make, and his face showed a similar bewildered expression to Roger and Whitebeard.

"Could it be that what Sigmund said to Blackbeard wasn't just empty talk?" Shiki began to suspect.

"Do the Floating Fruits also have male and female varieties?"

Others might not have believed Sieg's strange tales.

But the Golden Lion is different.

As the first person in the world to eat the Angel Fruit, he was deeply impressed by the strange fruit that Sieg had given him.

With the existence of Angel Fruits, and Devil Fruits having male and female distinctions, it doesn't seem so hard to accept, does it?

On the battlefield below, dark red lava and pitch-black flames intertwined, with the two colors of flames soaring into the sky.

With a thought, Golden Lion raised his hand and cleaved Fujitora in two with his sword, then flew towards a ball of black fire shooting into the sky.

After a moment's thought, he actually stretched out his finger and probed directly into the pitch-black fireball.

Sizzle~

With lightning speed, the golden lion pulled his finger out, the flesh of his finger splitting open. Looking at his bloodied and mangled finger, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It doesn't look like Rocks' Dark-Dark Fruit."

With a flick of his sleeve, the golden lion sent clouds drifting out and colliding with the black flames. They annihilated each other with a hissing sound... He silently observed this scene, lost in thought.

Chapter 1155 The Truth About Sigrid Bear (6k)

In the sky, the golden lion forced Fujitora back and began to study the black flame.

Large clouds surged from the cuffs like a tide, enveloping the black fire, and the two collided and annihilated each other.

"It's a very strange ability, unlike the Dark-Dark Fruit. It only has some similarities in appearance, just like Fujitora's Glug-Glug Fruit and my Float-Float Fruit. They have similar appearances, but they are not the same thing," Shiki judged.

Meanwhile, the ball of flame had been annihilated by the almost endless clouds and had completely disappeared into the sky.

"Is this the so-called Black Flame Dragon's pitch-black flames? If enough clouds are released, the flames can be forcibly consumed..."

The golden lion stands high in the sky, looking down below.

Boom!Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At both locations on the summit battlefield, the resounding roar of the Emperor's engines echoed as one, stirring the blood like war drums.

The shadow clones of Higuma were blocking Barrett, while Sigurd was blocking Akainu and a large number of other Marines... Shiki watched this scene from afar, a look of great interest appearing in his eyes.

"Just bear with it a little longer... Sig should understand, after all, this is his grand plan. I don't need to overstep my bounds," Golden Lion muttered to himself, trying his best to suppress the urge to spoil the plot.

On the battlefield below.

Akainu was panting heavily, and blood mixed with scorching lava dripped onto the ground; his injuries were already quite severe.

"Just as I imagined, they're not easy to deal with..." Akainu muttered.

By alternating between telekinesis and black flames, Akainu had the illusion that he was fighting two Sigurds at the same time. Even though his side had more people, he felt like he was being ganged up on.

While Sigmund is inferior to Akainu in close combat, his Armament Haki gloves and large, fleshy bar make him appear to be at a disadvantage, as he directly takes Akainu's lava fist head-on.
