I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Sieg sighed softly and left.

Once his chuunibyou energy is restored, the scumbag Wang Xige prepares to unleash his evil claws on the blue and white cat and see the effects of his new abilities.

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

At the roots of the World Tree, in the capital city of Elbaf, the land of giants.

Barrett, her body wrapped in bandages, looked up at the sky, her expression somewhat irritated.

Why isn't Sig here yet?

In the battle a few days ago, he suffered serious injuries, with multiple fractures throughout his body. For a tough guy like him in this world, he would need at least a week of rest and plenty of milk before he could move around again.

Barrett looked at the World Tree and shook her head.

The power of the Fusion Fruit can only manipulate inorganic matter and cannot affect living organisms, so he cannot fuse with the World Tree, otherwise it would not be difficult for him to re-enter the battlefield.

suddenly.

The World Tree began to tremble, as if something had happened above it again. The entire World Tree was shaking violently, even more so than when Barrett fell a few days ago.

The Giant King looked up in the direction of the World Tree, his face full of confusion.

"What happened now?"

Barrett looked up at the sky, then suddenly grinned.

"It seems the battle isn't over yet? It seems Sig hasn't killed the God King either... Well, it's about time for me to step in and deliver the final blow."

For the world's top powerhouses, a fight that lasts for days without a clear winner is not an outrageous thing.

Barrett stretched his limbs, full of fighting spirit, ready to begin climbing the World Tree.

Chapter 1217 The First Sealed Artifact (4k)

High in the sky, amidst the clouds, the Golden Lion, from his room on a sky island, manipulated his fleet of sky islands to depart.

In the opulent room, the Golden Lion stood alone by the full-length mirror, gazing at his reflection.

Looking at the wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes and the age spots gradually appearing on his skin, the Golden Lion felt a slight bitterness in his heart.

Due to the effects of the "retrograde wine," he appeared 12 years younger than his peers, but his current physical condition still indicated he was over sixty.

Lao Ji Fu Chi, aspiration for thousands of miles; martyrs in their twilight years, full of enthusiasm.

The Golden Lion remains the same ambitious and ruthless Golden Lion; his heart has not grown old.

But whether he wants to admit it or not, age is a major hurdle he must face.

Because of years of fighting, his physical fitness has not actually declined much, but this may only be the beginning.

No one in this world can defeat time, not even the Golden Lion or Whitebeard.

As the Golden Lion thought of this, he suddenly recalled the massive battle between Sig and the Titan King in the divine realm.

Sig was a contemporary of Rocks and Shiki, but Rocks had long since turned to dust and his name was rarely mentioned anymore, while Sig remained young and powerful.

This feeling was not good; the comparison between the two things made the Golden Lion feel anxious.

"I have to do something, I can't just sit here..." The Golden Lion pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

Among the Four Emperors, besides the family-oriented Whitebeard and the free spirit Shanks, Big Mom and Kaido have not been idle for many years.

The old woman meticulously recruited all races while secretly preparing experiments to transform the giants.

Kaido is similar; in the original story, Kaido created a large army of artificial Devil Fruit users in an attempt to start the world's largest war.

And the Golden Lion has certainly not been idle over the past ten years.

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

The Black Flame Dragon is over 100 meters long and 40 to 50 meters tall, roughly the height of two giants stacked together.

This enormous body, like a small mountain, crouched before Sieg. Sieg stretched out his hand, and jet-black flames roared forth.

Air currents are rising horizontally.

With a violent inhalation, the black flames, as large as a tidal wave, were swallowed into the mouth of the Black Flame Dragon.

After doing all this, the Black Flame Dragon let out a soft burp, and two jets of black flames shot out from its nostrils.

Although there was no translator for the bald guy's inner thoughts, Sieg could tell that the guy seemed quite pleased with himself and even wanted a second round.

The blue and white cat lay lazily beside Sieg, its belly up, purring softly. Sieg reached out and gently stroked the cat's belly, then roused himself and unleashed a second burst of black flames, which were then completely consumed.

Interacting with the Black Flame Dragon was somewhat different from what Sig had imagined.

The bald man tried to communicate with the Black Flame Dragon, but the Black Flame Dragon currently seems to be just a simple animal, not showing any intelligence similar to that of Chopper, the user of the Human-Human Fruit.

The only certainty is that the deceased clown once spent some time with the Black Flame Dragon.

Perhaps because overthrowing the divine kingdom inadvertently increased the Black Flame Dragon's favorability, when Sig encountered the Black Flame Dragon at the top of the World Tree, there was no fierce battle as expected, but instead Sig happily became the Dragon Mother.

Roger's ship carried a huge, spotted egg that accompanied him on his last great voyage, a voyage that lasted for years. It must have been an extraordinary and important egg.

But whatever it was before, history has been changed.

The creature in the egg that had been traveling with the Roger Pirates for years without being born devoured the black flames and transformed into a dragon, just as the spirit stone on the top of Flower Fruit Mountain turned into a stone monkey when it encountered the wind.

This is both the realization of Yuta Togashi's imagination and the truth of a lie.

Yuta Togashi fantasizes that he has a black flame dragon sealed in his hand, and that he is a black flame wielder who has mastered the power of evil.

When the Black Flame Dragon's lie comes true and they meet during the overthrow of the divine kingdom, this card will be 100% complete.

Black Flame Dragon seems to be able to eat anything with relish, just like Wapol, the user of the Gluttony Fruit. It can devour more than just black flames.

Its belly is like a bottomless pit; it can eat anything. Perhaps that's why the giants call it the Devourer of the World...

But for it, black flames were also a rare delicacy. Devouring black flames felt like returning to many years ago, when it was still an egg and had eaten its first food.

Footsteps sounded behind me; it was the bald man approaching.

“Boss Sig, we searched the Joker’s hideout and found something interesting.”

The bald man opened the small box in his hand, inside which lay a silvery-white fruit with strange patterns on its surface, emitting a delicate fragrance.

This is an Angel Fruit, representing a user with two Devil Fruits.

The Angel Fruit wasn't something Jock was reborn from after his death; it was a confiscated item, part of Jock's personal collection. When Sigurd made his wish, he didn't include such a rule—all the original rules were based on a single wish.

The creation of this wish requires the consumption of an SS item card, plus decades of growth and maturation time.

Although it took a long time, the wish made at the time will give birth to many dual-ability users, enough to impact the world order.

In fact, this was the first Angel Fruit that the tree planter, Sig, owned.

"Let's keep them for now." Sig hadn't decided how to distribute the fruits yet, then turned to look behind the bald man.

The bald man didn't come alone; behind him stood Bucky the clown, who had a mournful face.

“Bucky was found in the outer city of God Island. He didn’t participate in the battle; Jock released him casually before the fight,” the bald man said.

Bucky the Clown being dragged to God's Kingdom was just a joke.

Jock is dead, and his thoughts remain a mystery, but Sieg has read his thoughts and memories, so he can guess a lot about him.

Jock has his eye on Bucky, perhaps because Bucky is the most famous clown in the Blue Sea, and he could become an asset like the Golden Lion. But in reality, Bucky is not strong, nor is he a funny circus performer, and he even deeply hates his red nose.

Perhaps Jock didn't think that much about it; he just wanted to find a clown partner before he died, just like the Prince of God found him back then.

"So, what are your plans next, Bucky?" Sig asked casually.

After seeing Bucky, Sieg realized what he had forgotten... he had forgotten Bucky.

Despite it being a highly intense war, this man strangely managed to remain unscathed and unharmed.

“I…I want to go back to the Grand Line,” Buggy said softly.

“Oh, then go down, but don’t leak the matter of the divine kingdom,” Sig warned.

In Sig’s view, the Kingdom of God is a safe zone.

If the World Government were to learn of the current turmoil within God's territory, the safety of this zone would be in question, so the information must not be leaked.

“…I can’t go down,” Bucky whispered.

Sigurd then realized that, according to the rules of the Chop-Chop Fruit, Buggy must have both feet on the ground to use his ability freely, which means he cannot fly.

“Baldy, arrange for someone to take him down from the Sky Island…” Sig started to say, then changed his mind:

"I guess so. I'll take him there; it'll be faster that way."

Higuma and Buggy had a brief encounter in the East Blue, but their relationship was not deep. Their connection was mainly based on their association with the Roger Pirates.

Sig grabbed Bucky and chose a small boat that could be operated by one person on the Dushan giant ship. The two of them flew one after the other into the sea of ​​clouds below.

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

after a while.

The small boat emerged from the clouds, and the outline of the royal city of Elbaf was already visible below.

Sig landed from the air and put the boat and Bucky down.

"This boat is for you; you can use it to go out to sea."

"Next, it's up to you whether you go to sea on your own or stay in Elbaf, just keep it a secret."

Given Roger's friendship, Sieg didn't resort to a simple and crude method of erasing his memory.

Sending Pakistan into the sea by his own hands was more than enough.

“Mr. Sig…” Bucky hesitated for a moment:

"The Elbaf Sea is deep in the New World. This sea is too dangerous for me. Otherwise, could you send me another one..."

“Buggy, you’re a mature pirate now. You need to solve your own problems,” Sigurd casually refused.

Given Pakistan's luck, he probably won't die at sea so easily.

Besides, Buggy is a mature pirate nearing 40, not a child. According to the rules of the pirate world, everyone has their own path, and he doesn't need Higuma to be his babysitter.

After seeing Bucky off, Sig's figure quickly disappeared into the air. He did not immediately fly into the sky, but instead flew to a location outside the city of Elbaf.

Some time later, on the shore of a lake outside the royal city.
