I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

“Powerful? No, it’s not as simple as just being powerful.”

The golden lion floated high in the sky, looking down at Happy, who was approaching the god-king step by step, and nodded slightly.

Golden Lion knew the secrets of the Dark-Dark Fruit: it couldn't be transformed into an element, but it could absorb damage, though at the cost of double the pain.

Happyness could not possibly emerge unscathed from the siege of the gods; he merely absorbed the damage through the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, but the cost was still severe.

The double pain from the Dark-Dark Fruit allowed Blackbeard to writhe on the ground and scream in agony on the battlefield, disregarding all dignity.

The clown Happy Ness, however, remained silent and simply walked forward.

At that moment, a soft sigh came from somewhere.

A rainbow of light descended from the sky and landed directly in the center of the sky island battlefield, transforming into the form of a guardian deity.

He had hesitated before, but at this moment he stepped forward and stood behind the prince.

"A guardian deity?!"

"This... the guardian deity has betrayed us? He's on the side of the divine prince?"

All the gods were shocked, and their expressions changed rapidly.

"Guardian deity?" The middle-aged man in golden armor slowly shook his head:

"I'm just an old gatekeeper."

He gently extended his palm, and a longbow formed from a rainbow fell into his hand.

"Now....."

"This door is closed."

The longbow curved like a full moon, and a rain of seven-colored rainbow arrows fell from the sky, densely covering the heavens and the earth with rainbow light.

The guardian deity's attack was not directed at the prince, but rather at the gods and soldiers of the divine kingdom who were besieging him.

Thank you.

Happy said something in a low voice, and he stepped forward, his colorful, comical curly hair flowing in the wind, with a rain of rainbow arrows behind him.

At this moment, even the God-King, who had been sitting calmly on his throne, suddenly darkened his expression and unconsciously clenched his fist.

"It really is you...."

"I should have known... How could that child have left the Divine Kingdom and gone to the Blue Sea right under your nose!"

The God-King was enraged by thunder, his eyes gleaming with divine light. He stood up abruptly, a howling wind raged, and golden lightning tore through the sky. His rage was as if a storm had descended.

But as soon as he stood up, he caught sight of the Golden Lion's cold gaze.

His face suddenly darkened.

"How lively!" A cold voice came from the clouds.

Zeus, transformed into a white cloud, burst through the sky, and standing atop the cloud were a few people including Sig, Becky, and Violet.

Most of the people are hidden inside Becky's body.

But the moment these people appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

The golden lion glanced sideways, and the God King frowned slightly; both were on guard.

Golden Lion, of course, was beaten to a pulp by Siegfried on the battlefield at Marineford, and he is still a little shaken.

As for the God-King... his gaze at this moment even held a hint of resentment.

"The Mountain Bandit King is called a demon by the Blue Sea people. He's not so easy to control after all..." the God King thought to himself.

His proposed deal was that Sieg help capture the God Prince, which Sieg agreed to at the time.

As a result, instead of capturing the person, they alerted the enemy, causing the God Prince to launch a decisive battle and attack the God Island ahead of schedule.

The golden lion was not restrained and arrived at the island of gods unharmed.

Isn't this completely useless?

Thinking about it carefully... Sig wasn't entirely useless, after all, he also caused three gods under the God King's command, who were acting as guides, to lose contact.

At this moment, Sieg's expression was indifferent, and the God King could not tell what he was thinking or what his intentions were.

"God-King, do you still remember our agreement?" Sig suddenly asked seriously.

"Do you see? I have brought your son to you."

"Now, shouldn't you keep your promise?"

The God-King almost lost his composure.

Sieg was more shameless than he had imagined, actually taking credit for the achievement right to his face.

With a stern face and suppressing his anger, he said, "This seems to be different from our agreement, doesn't it?"

"A dignified God-King, how could he not even abide by his promise?"

Sig began to righteously rebuke the God-King, then immediately turned to look at the golden lion in the distance.

"Golden Lion, I actually have a business deal with you. Shall we talk?"

The Golden Lion glanced at Sig but remained silent.

This made the God-King curse inwardly several times.

He wasn't quite clear about the complicated relationship between Sig and Golden Lion, only that they were both great pirates of the Blue Sea and old acquaintances... their relationship was at least closer than his, the Sky Island God King's.

Even if there is only a tiny chance that the two sides can join forces, the God King dares not gamble.

Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult. If we could go back in time to when Sig had just reached the top of the World Tree, the God King would definitely have used all the power of his country to wage war against Sig.

But it's too late now.

Sig is neither someone he can cooperate with, nor a tool he can use or manipulate.

“Sigurd, of course I remember the agreement.” The God-King coughed lightly.

"I will always remember your great help."

"But this is an internal matter of my divine kingdom. Once this matter is resolved, I will naturally tell you what you want to know."

This statement already represents a concession from the God-King.

He made a hidden condition: this was an internal matter of the divine kingdom, and he hoped that Sieg would not interfere, promising to reveal the secret afterward.

The battlefield is now a mixed bag, and Sieg doesn't expect the God King to reveal the secret of the God Kingdom's resistance against the Heavenly King right now; that would be asking too much of a question.

As for whether the God-King would lie out of embarrassment afterward, Sieg wasn't too worried.

With Violet's help, lies can be exposed.

“Violet, take a good look,” Sig said softly.

He stood side by side with Violet on the clouds, looking down at the battlefield on the sky island below.

Sig stood on a cloud, a golden lion hovered in the air, and the God King sat on his throne in the arena.

The three parties remained in a stalemate, with none of them taking action, thus achieving a fragile balance.

The gazes of these three giants converged on the clown Happy, who was wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

On this battlefield, the Joker Happy Hogan walks alone.

Both Enel and the Guardian Angels had fallen far behind on the battlefield, while he was surrounded alone, as if he were fighting against the world all by himself.

At this moment, he is the protagonist on this battlefield.

"Hehe... Haha..."

The clown grinned, his bright red lips curving upwards. His smile was anything but funny; it was even a little creepy.

A wound on his waist split open, flesh turned inside out, and blood gushed out.

Happy is bleeding, which is not a good sign.

Golden Lion understands the Dark-Dark Fruit, but no one understands it better than Sigurd.

The first Dark-Dark Fruit user, Rocks, was killed by Higuma himself, and the second Dark-Dark Fruit user, Blackbeard, was also nearly killed by Higuma. Higuma even impersonated Rocks himself, so he knows the Dark-Dark Fruit all too well.

If the pain threshold for an average person is 10, exceeding that threshold will cause them to fall into a coma due to bodily mechanisms.

Therefore, for users of the Dark-Dark Fruit, the threshold becomes 20 due to the double damage.

On the battlefield, one often has to endure pain exceeding the normal human threshold by 10 while fully conscious.

When Happy is bleeding and injured, it means that the Dark-Dark Fruit's damage absorption capacity has reached its limit and he can withstand it.

PS: In the latest manga chapter, Law's Op-Op Fruit cannot transfer Big Mom and Kaido because their Haki is too strong.

Then I glanced back at the Stampede movie. When fighting the island giant formed by Barrett's combination, it was Law who used the Op-Op Fruit ability as a breakthrough to directly transfer Crocodile's attack into the giant's body.

These two settings conflict, which can be seen as the official version contradicting the theatrical release...

Some people question the strength of Armament Haki, but before Law made his move, no one could break through the giants' Armament Haki, not even Gear Fourth Luffy or Hancock. Leaving aside Big Mom, the strength of their Armament Haki at that time was definitely not on the same level as Vergo, whom Law struggled to cut through.

Chapter 1208 Three People Together (4k)

Blood gushed out, and wounds opened one after another, making the red clown costume even more vivid with blood.

The double pain from the Dark-Dark Fruit was enough to make Blackbeard writhe in agony, but Happy continued on his way, his steps not slowing down, though his gait began to falter.

He seemed to have an amazing tolerance for pain, and he hopped and skipped across the battlefield with comical steps.

The clown shoes made a comical squeaking sound, completely out of place with the surrounding sounds of gunfire and battle cries, leaving bloody footprints on the scarred ancient battlefield.

At this moment, he was only 100 meters away from the God King.

"He's wounded! Keep attacking!"

The giant wolf that the powerful being transformed into roared, tearing large chunks of flesh from his waist, and was kicked in the waist by him, sending him flying.

The gods have many powerful individuals, and their attacks should not be underestimated.

In such a densely populated battlefield, it is difficult to make effective dodging maneuvers.

Happy didn't dodge much; he mostly just endured the damage while attacking and moving forward.
