I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Winter is coming!

An invisible ripple of cold air emanated from the cane and quickly spread to the forest beneath its feet in an instant.

A thin layer of frost covered the iron-gray World Tree, and with a soft crackling sound, another layer of frost quickly climbed onto the ground.

This wave of cold air grew larger and larger, eventually brewing into a massive, icy ocean tide.

An invisible chill, as vast as ocean waves, surged forth in massive waves, rapidly spreading and impacting the forest, while the raging fires that had been spreading through the forest quickly receded.

The flames that had surrounded the World Tree receded, and the long-haired woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is it the God of Winter?" The Giant King seemed to realize something, and earnestly reached out his hand towards the white-haired woman from afar.

"The giants of Elbaf are currently in crisis and need the help of the gods."

"The God of Winter?" Sig's attention was piqued, and he turned to look.

He certainly didn't think that the Giant King had suddenly developed a delusional disorder, or that there really were any gods in this world.

There are two kinds of people in the world who call themselves gods.

One type is the Celestial Dragons, and the other is the Sky Island people.

On the Sky Island, the rulers and governors of the island are considered "gods" in the Sky Islanders' cultural environment.

This newly appeared white-haired woman, through some unknown ability, controlled the forest fire, which was larger than the royal city, in a short period of time with a wave of cold air. The great power she displayed was indeed like that of a god in the eyes of mortals.

When the white-haired woman turned around and got a little closer, the giant king could see her face clearly and was shocked.

This winter god, who walks on a seven-colored rainbow, does not appear as pristine as the gods in mythology.

On the contrary, her long skirt had burn marks on the hem, her white robe was stained with blood, and her delicate face showed signs of fatigue.

"Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it." The Winter God's voice was low, concealing a sense of weariness.

"A rebellion is taking place in the Kingdom of God. The Prince of God has violated the prohibition by visiting the outside world and has colluded with the great pirate Golden Lion of the Blue Sea to gather a rebellion."

"I just went through a battle, and even as a high god, I have exhausted a lot of my power."

The surging chill swept forward like a vast ocean, but it was nearly exhausted by the time it reached the giant's capital. The forest fires were extinguished, but the inferno over the giant's capital was largely unaffected.

There are no true gods in this world, but for the Skypiea people, someone like Enel...

Overwhelming power, a thunderous force seemingly wielded only by a god, a web of power enveloping the entire island... To the Skypiea inhabitants, Enel is a god.

The waters off Elbaf Island.

Enveloped in a massive amount of telekinetic energy, the colossal Dushan-class warship rose into the air and hurtled towards the distant Elbaf.

Because the giants were hostile to Sig, Sig disguised himself as a Sun Knight and left the main force outside the Giant Kingdom.

But now that the giant Dorry has asked Sieg for help, he won't hold back anymore.

“This ship is too big. Relying solely on telekinesis is still a bit too much, and we can’t increase the flight speed.” Sig stood atop the castle tower, shaking his head inwardly.

The situation in Elbaf was urgent, while his ship was too large and heavy, so his flight speed was not as fast.

It will take some time to reach the royal city of Elbaf.

"Law, when will your ROOM be able to expand to the size of the entire ship?" Sig casually said to Law beside him.

If Law's control range were that large, Sieg could have Law do the hard labor and control the ship's flight.

"Boss, have some decency," Luo said softly, his eyes still showing dark circles and lingering fear.

The manipulation ability of the Op-Op Fruit within the ROOM space is similar to the control of telekinesis, so he was forced to train by Blue and White Cat for quite a long time during that year.

Meanwhile, Vegapunk, who had just joined the group, was also very interested in the Op-Op Fruit, which was touted as the ultimate Devil Fruit, and had him cooperate in doing a lot of tiring experiments.

"Speaking of which, where's Barrett?" The scumbag Wang Xige suddenly remembered Barrett when he needed combat power.

“…” Luo remained silent, not responding, but looking at Sieg with a strange gaze.

"He's so sensitive," the scumbag Wang Xige muttered to himself.

"It's a pity Barrett isn't here, otherwise we would have had another strong ally. I really don't know where he's hiding. It's been almost half a month, has he still not recovered?"

The Ghost-Ghost Fruit is incredibly powerful. Ever since Sigurd exposed Barrett's dark past, he has disappeared without a trace.

I don't know if he's still on this ship or if he's gone somewhere else.

With his strength and abilities, if he were determined to hide, probably very few people could find him.

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

Above the giant's capital city, flames raged fiercely.

A red fire dragon spread its wings and soared high in the sky.

Vegapunk sat on the back of the fire dragon, holding a cat in his arms, gazing at the winter god who appeared high in the sky outside the city, riding on a seven-colored rainbow.

"The God of Winter...?" Vegapunk seemed slightly dazed. His gaze fell on the enormous World Tree behind the God of Winter, gradually moving upwards until it finally settled on the clouds above.

Over the past 12 days, the Sun Knight has successfully won the trust of the giants, including the giant hero Shan Huzi, and has become somewhat famous.

Under these circumstances, Vegapunk secretly investigated Elbaf, but he did not find what he was looking for.

"Perhaps former CP0 member Stussy's judgment was correct, and my intelligence was flawed. The race that could help with research on simulated Devil Fruits might not be in the Elbaf Sea, but rather in the skies above Elbaf."

Elbaf is shrouded in mystery, and the presence of the giants is not insignificant, but it is located deep within the New World, and Vegapunk knows little about this "history."

Now, he seems to have found his direction.

below.

The moment Sigurd's attention fell on the Winter God outside the city, Kaido's DNA stirred.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Suppressing the dizziness caused by the poison, Kaido's massive body instantly transformed into a dragon-man form, with fine and hard dragon scales appearing on his skin and a long dragon tail emerging from behind him.

Kaido appears to be a muscular, rough man, but in the instant that Higuma lost his focus, his massive figure swept past like a ghost, and dark red lightning bolts reappeared on the large spiked club in his hand, as Conqueror's Haki quietly enveloped him.

boom!

This attack was exactly the same sneak attack that Sieg had just launched.

Armament Haki Hardening! Combat Suit and Gloves! Body of Iron! Paper-Painted Body!

Caught off guard, he only had time to raise his arm to block and stack several layers of armor before being struck by the big club, his body flying backward like a cannonball.

Before Kaido could even feel relieved, he caught a glimpse of a strange scene out of the corner of his eye.

Sig flew backward, but the cross in his hand remained strangely still and suspended in the air, not pushed away by the impact, as if the game screen had frozen.

A bad feeling subconsciously arose in Kaido's heart.

next moment.

The suspended cross, enveloped by an invisible telekinetic force, was once again swung fiercely toward Kaido's face.

"Roar!"

Kaido was still in the swinging stance, unable to dodge, but at this moment he opened his mouth wide and shot out a series of sharp wind blades, which hit the floating cross directly and pushed the cross backward.

But at that moment, the purplish-black venom attached to the cross transformed into droplets of water, which shot through the air like bullets.

Chi Chi Chi!

Kaido's chest and face were struck again by the "Death Kingdom" venom, and his muscular chest trembled slightly as he let out a cry of pain.

Dust billowed a hundred meters away as the figure of the Sun Knight rose from the cracked earth. He waved his hand to clear the dust and stared at Kaido, who had been poisoned twice.

“You have grown, Kaido,” said the Sun Knight.

“The trainee crew members from back then have become quite skilled.”

The condescending tone made Kaido frown subconsciously.

He was already one of the Four Emperors, famous throughout the seas, but the tone of this unknown Sun Knight gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

Kaido's gaze then fell on Sigurd's left hand.

Several bloody holes appeared on Sieg's left arm where he had been directly hit by the spiked club, with blood gushing out. His white gloves also tore open in two or three places.

This surprised Kaido slightly.

"Is he a master of physical combat who is proficient in Armament Haki?" This thought flashed through Kaido's mind.

The Four Emperors are already the pinnacle of pirates. "Thunder Bagua," a strike imbued with Conqueror's Haki, is fast and vicious, and it's no ordinary move.

Kozuki Oden once posed a deadly threat to Kaido, but in the moment when Kaido was distracted, he was instantly struck by this attack and lost consciousness, causing the battle to turn in an instant.

This time, the Sun Knight in front of them looked like he had lost a lot of blood, but his arm bones were not deformed and his injuries were not serious.

As the man stepped out of the deep pit, something even more astonishing happened to Kaido.

The wound on my arm twitched slightly and closed up on its own. The bleeding stopped and even showed signs of healing.

The cross that Kaido had blown away floated up on its own and returned to the hands of the Sun Knight.

A master of life restoration like CP0's Oni Mask can control the closure of wounds and stop bleeding.

Now, under the powerful influence of telekinesis, Sigur's control over life return is even stronger, and his wounds are gradually healing.

"With this kind of vitality, he's also an awakened Zoan-type?" Kaido was shocked.

He had a vague suspicion about the identity of the Sun Knight, and subconsciously denied it, but now he felt even more confused.

He had a vague feeling that he had met his match, and his opponent seemed to be just like him, thick-skinned and resilient.

laugh!

Figures flashed, and two tall figures brought with them two gusts of wind, like two intersecting meteors colliding. The gusts of wind generated by the collision extinguished the surrounding flames.

Clang! Clang!

The old woman wielded the giant Napoleon sword, slashing it down on Ah Ling's greatsword. Sparks flew as the swords clashed, and the ground beneath their feet sank half a meter.

Ah Ling is a special Homie created by the Soul-Soul Fruit's power, and she is also a living person. Although she has a powerful soul capable of suppressing all Homies, she is not a Devil Fruit user herself and cannot inflict significant damage on Homies like Brook.

Although Napoleon was subtly suppressed, in Big Mom's hands, even ordinary swords could cause astonishing destruction by relying on Armament Haki and extraordinary strength.

The size and strength of the two were quite different, and Ah Ling was being subtly suppressed by the crazy old woman, so she could only adopt a defensive posture.
