I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"If it were the original character, Iruma, as an ordinary person, even if he were very good at dodging, he probably wouldn't be able to escape the whirlwind that covered the entire street, right?"

"But now, I can avoid it."

Sieg unconsciously pressed his chest, feeling the rapid beating of his heart.

The 100% dodge was incredibly exciting; every time it was just a hair's breadth away, which kept Sig's heart racing.

Therefore, the True Emperor Engine, similar to second gear, allowed Sig to exceed normal speed and reaction speed. Combined with 100% evasion, he could even dodge the sandstorm that enveloped the street.

"As long as I'm timid enough, I can be considered to have entered the ranks of the strong?"

"But if I possess the heart of a strong person and am unafraid of any difficulty... then I will be instantly brought back to reality?"

Sig was both amused and exasperated.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Sieg's heartbeat slowed down slightly.

Once you realize that Crocodile poses little threat to you, the fear in your heart will inevitably fade away.

"No, we can't let our guard down! The situation is still very serious!"

"Two full minutes have passed. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late to save him once his heart rate explodes!"

With that thought in mind, Sieg finally made a move!

Crocodile and Momousagi on the other side immediately became alert, but then were somewhat surprised.

Instead of walking towards them, Sieg strode toward the port.

"Crocodile, I don't have time to waste with you any longer."

Sieg didn't stop walking, and instead turned his back to Crocodile without reservation.

Ok?

Crocodile's forehead veins bulged, and his face was extremely gloomy.

Sieg not only completely dodged his attacks, but now he's actually preparing to completely ignore him?

As fellow Shichibukai, Higuma accepted Mihawk's challenge but didn't even bother to retaliate.

"Desert Greatsword!"

Amidst the chilling voice, a giant sword of yellow sand rose from the ground, but Sieg's figure shifted to the left in the blink of an eye.

Another evasive maneuver!

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

"Crescent-shaped dunes!"

Crocodile's voice grew increasingly cold.

But... the result was the same as always.

No matter how he attacked, Sieg always managed to dodge at the last moment...

This situation was enough to make not only Crocodile, but also the Marines who had formed an encirclement in the distance lose their composure.

"What kind of monster is he?"

"That's Crocodile! Does Sieg have eyes in the back of his head?"

"I've heard that Observation Haki can sharpen one's five senses and allow one to predict the direction of an attack, but this is just too terrifying!"

Crocodile is no small fry; he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a powerful figure who once swept into the New World and faced Whitebeard head-on.

Of course, there are people stronger than him on this sea. Considering Sig's record, it's not surprising that he could withstand Crocodile's attack.

But to achieve this level purely through physical skills and Observation Haki, without even retaliating... it's absolutely terrifying.

Stussy took it all in, and his heart trembled again.

If Sig possesses such powerful Observation Haki, then could it be that Sig has already discovered what she just did?

A sudden wave of regret washed over her.

Sig's power far exceeded her imagination.

With his swordsmanship and Conqueror's Haki, he was able to fight Hawkeye to a standstill.

With his Observation Haki, he was able to ignore Crocodile's attack?

Another half minute or so passed.

Crocodile successfully inflicted tons of damage on another street.

His attack stopped once again, and he stared at Sieg with a sullen face.

At this moment, Crocodile's once neatly slicked-back hair now had two strands falling from his temples, making it look slightly messy.

There's a limit to looking down on people.

He let out a low growl from his throat.

"sandstorm!"

This time, seemingly endless yellow sand surged up from all directions of the town.

In just a short while, it had become so dark that it blotted out the sky and the world was plunged into darkness.

Crocodile took a deep drag on his cigar, and as he exhaled the smoke, his body turned into sand and merged into the towering yellow sand.

Then, a massive sandstorm that covered a large part of the town formed.

"Crocodile, do you want to be stripped of your title as a Shichibukai?"

Momousagi shouted with a stern face, once again raising her famous sword, Kinpira, and unleashing a series of sharp sword lights.

But this time, faced with the seemingly endless yellow sand, Momousagi's sword light could only blast open a large area of ​​sand to stop the sandstorm from expanding further, and it was unable to defeat the massive sandstorm for the time being.

Chapter 134 The Demeanor of a Tyrant

"I'm doomed."

Sieg looked around and felt a chill run through him.

Sig is currently in the eye of a sandstorm.

At this moment, he was surrounded by a rolling sandstorm, isolating him from both inside and outside.

The sandstorm was so thick that it barely let any light in; even though it was broad daylight, the light was very dim.

What terrified Sieg the most was that the storm was still shrinking.

With 100% evasion, Crocodile found his weakness on his very first attack.

As long as the storm continues to shrink, leaving no room to dodge, no matter how much Sig tries to dodge, it will be useless.

"I'm done for. This time I'm really done for."

Sig's heart sank heavily.

The outer wall of sandstorm easily shattered rocks and destroyed houses; it was as sharp as a knife, and Sieg had no intention of getting close.

Even the mere thought of it will trigger an alarm.

This instinctive warning was something Sig gained when he activated the Iruma Card's ability. It was an instinctive drive to seek advantage and avoid harm. Sig had survived until now entirely because of it, so of course he wouldn't do anything reckless.

Just as Sieg's heart sank, a figure emerged directly from the massive wall of yellow sand.

Crocodile, still smoking his cigar, stared blankly at Sieg.

His first words shocked Sieg.

"Sig, let's join forces."

Crocodile said this.

Sieg was startled; it was only because his expressionless acting skills were so superb that his face did not show any abnormality.

He feigned nonchalance, as if the sandstorm outside was nothing, and said in a low voice:

"Join forces? Haven't you been helping the Navy and preventing me from leaving since just now?"

Crocodile's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Are you kidding me, Sig?"

"How could I possibly cooperate with the Navy against you? The Navy is our eternal enemy."

"Besides, wouldn't it be more interesting for a man like you to enter the Grand Line? Why would I stop you?"

Crocodile took a puff of his cigar and said calmly.

Sig paused for a moment, still trying to process Crocodile's words.

"Don't worry, within my Sandstorm, the navy outside won't be able to hear our conversation."

This made Sieg give Crocodile a deep look.

He was deeply impressed by the anger Crocodile had shown him earlier, but now Crocodile was acting as if nothing had happened, saying he wanted to join forces with him.

Regardless of whether Crocodile was feigning anger or was actually calm inside...

It's still genuine anger, but I've managed to control my emotions and completely suppress my emotional fluctuations...

This performance is enough to make people's hearts skip a beat.

Another Best Actor winner, and a truly talented one at that.

I just don't know if his talk of joining forces is genuine.

Sigmund remembered that Crocodile didn't even respect Doflamingo, claiming that the latter was only qualified to be his subordinate.

"Could it be that Crocodile acknowledges my strength, believing that even this sandstorm cannot trap me? And so he has prepared some other scheme?"

While his mind was racing, Sieg calmly asked:

"What do you mean by joining forces?"

"Of course, they are ancient weapons."

Crocodile grinned and gave a cold laugh.

"I don't care whether your Anotherpiece is real or fake, but what you said is exactly the same as that bastard Doflamingo's."
