I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The seven- or eight-meter-long mechanical arm pointed at the large screen in the square and punched Sieg in the face on the screen.

Sizzle, boom!

One of the three large screens was smashed through by the punch; an electric spark flashed on the screen, and then the screen went completely black.

On the other two large screens, Sieg frowned slightly, then relaxed.

"More than a thousand meters, that's about the right distance," he muttered to himself.

Facing the mirror, he slowly extended his right palm and pressed it down lightly.

At this moment.

The wind and cloud are discolored.

Whoohoo!

Suddenly, a fierce howl came from above Kidd, and a gust of wind swept down from above, blowing away the clouds.

A colossal hand, obscuring the sky, reached out from between the clouds.

This hand is not a fleshy palm, but is formed from countless layers of mud and rocks, as large as a mountain.

With intense friction against the air, the edges of the palm even turned slightly red, falling downwards like a shooting star!

The sky was obscured by a dark gray, and a huge shadow enveloped the earth. The pirates still standing in the square all changed color, deeply imprinting this scene in their eyes!

He can control everything!

Ap's expression changed drastically, and he was the first to flee.

Hawkins hesitated for a moment, then his body rapidly grew larger, transforming into a giant scarecrow.

Only Kidd was not surprised but delighted, and he laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"Sig, you've finally arrived!"

He stretched out his palm, and the power of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit was quietly unleashed.

A powerful suction force suddenly erupted, and all kinds of swords, weapons, and metal utensils within a radius of hundreds of meters around it quickly converged.

"Magnetic Demon!"

In the blink of an eye, a massive amount of various metals had gathered on Kidd's body, and Kidd had now transformed into a gigantic metal giant tens of meters tall.

"Sig!"

Kidd roared to the sky, memories of his two years of conquest in the New World flashing through his mind.

The nostalgia trip begins!

He is no longer the Kidd he used to be!

This time, he will prove himself against the formidable enemy who once defeated him!

The metal giant, tens of meters tall, stomped on the ground and soared into the sky. A massive amount of metal gathered on his arms and slammed upwards!

"Sig, it's been two years. You know how I've been—"

Creak, boom!

At the moment of impact, the metal giant's entire body emitted sounds of unbearable strain.

A mountain-like force descended from the sky, and the majestic metal giant was deformed and twisted the moment they collided, the powerful force spreading throughout Kidd's entire body.

Kidd's expression changed drastically.

The images in my mind disappeared one by one, and the last one to emerge was the fist that rapidly expanded in front of my eyes when I first met Admiral Higuma in the Sabaody Archipelago!

"Two years have passed, and the gap is still so big?"

Boom!

Under the immense force of the impact, the tens-of-meters-tall metal giant was crushed and flattened again, and all the steel parts and utensils were twisted and deformed, clattering and falling to the ground.

The colossal hand, obscuring the sky, swatted the metal giant down like swatting a fly, sending it crashing to the ground!

Chapter 1232 Declaring War on the World (4k)

The earth shook violently, the plaza collapsed and sank more than ten meters, and huge cracks spread out like a spider web.

A giant rock hand from over a thousand meters away crushed and flattened the metal giant that Kidd had transformed into with a single blow.

The colossal rock hand, like a five-fingered mountain descending from the sky, stood in the plaza, crushing Kidd beneath it. All around him were flattened and shattered metal fragments; he lay bleeding profusely, his bones broken, his body twisted, lying in a pool of blood.

The battle was over the instant it began.

The square fell into a deathly silence, and many people couldn't help but turn their gaze back to the face of Sieg on the big screen.

"...In short, the secret of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power is that it can imbue inanimate corpses or non-living things with consciousness..." Sig didn't say anything special and casually began the interview on the screen.

"Captain Kidd!"

"Is this...is this Sieg's counterattack?"

"Damn it, where is he? Where is he hiding?"

This attack came from thousands of meters above the clouds, and the pirates present hadn't even found the enemy's location yet.

Kira knelt beside Kid, covered in blood, holding a scythe and looking around, but he didn't even know where Sig was.

“It’s more terrifying than I imagined.” Hawkins reverted from his scarecrow form to human form, kneeling on the ground, panting.

The attack just now, merely a ripple from the aftermath, took his life.

From his abdomen, a cursed scarecrow detached and fell to the ground. Not far behind him, a pirate collapsed and died.

As the user of the Straw-Straw Fruit, Hawkins can preemptively implant cursed straw men into his subordinates, thus transferring the damage he suffers to others and making them bear the fatal wounds in his place.

By preparing enough cursed scarecrows in advance, Hawkins essentially has dozens of lives.

A scarecrow fell, indicating that Hawkins had just died once.

"Isn't this exactly the same as two years ago? Nothing has changed?" Hawkins's heart wavered slightly.

At this time.

"when!"

Haiming Apu pounded his chest and shouted, and an invisible sonic boom spread out. At the same time, Kira next to Kid burst into flames, exhaled a mouthful of black smoke from his throat, and collapsed to his knees.

"Sea-sounding Apoo? What are you doing?" Kira shouted angrily, only to be met with another explosion.

"Apu reacted really quickly... Could he have planned this from the beginning?" Hawkins finally realized what was going on.

His body rapidly expanded into a giant scarecrow, commanding his subordinates to surround and encircle Kidd's remaining forces.

The two Supernova pirate crews besieged Kid's remaining forces, and a fierce battle began in the square. However, Kid's remaining forces were clearly no match for them and quickly fell into a stalemate.

Amidst the shouts of battle in the square, Siegfried, Morgans, and others on the screen continued their interviews at a leisurely pace, their conversations becoming the background noise of the carnage.

Off-camera, the zombie Rocks beside Sig watched this scene silently.

Previously, Kidd had seized Morgans's backup video Den Den Mushi and broadcast it back to Sig's side from Furnace Island Square.

Rocks, too, saw the giant hand descending from the sky in the images transmitted by the Den Den Mushi.

"It must have been forty or fifty years, right? That battle on Thor Island."

He shook his head with a faint smile, vaguely recalling the early days of the Rocks Pirates.

When this pirate crew was first formed, it was only for making money, to plunder the gold in the sky.

As he rose through the ranks, his ambition swelled, and he gradually reached the pinnacle of piracy, reigning supreme over an era, before quietly reaching his end...

Lox suddenly looked up.

He stepped out, and his pale, bloodless face finally appeared on the screen.

“Look…this is the Rocks you’ve been looking for…” Moria explained from the side.

Rocks looked at the camera silently, a slight smile playing on his lips.

When he appeared on the screen, the battle on Fire Furnace Island Square quickly ended, and everyone's attention was focused on the big screen.

Although he was already a corpse, Rocks' demeanor was clearly different from that of ordinary people, attracting the attention of many.

"Recently, there have been some rumors circulating about me at sea, and I want to clarify here... these are not rumors," Lockes said.

"The Rocks who led the Rocks Pirates to attack God Valley back then was indeed Higuma in disguise!"

"The reason why Higuma impersonated Rocks to attack God Valley was to overthrow the World Government and bring down the Celestial Dragons!"

Ok?

The audience and Sig and others were slightly taken aback and hadn't yet reacted.

Only Morgans, who was most sensitive to news, changed color and immediately stood up:

"No! This can't be broadcast!"

He was about to stop Lockes when Lockes burst into laughter. The laughter seemed to carry an invisible pressure, shaking the heavens and causing Morgans to pause slightly before sitting back down.

"World Government, Celestial Dragons, it's time for you to step down from the Empty Throne—" Rocks laughed loudly, but his laughter gradually subsided.

A shadow drifted out from the zombie Rocks and flew back to Moria, while the zombie Rocks slowly collapsed to the ground, his face still bearing an arrogant and unruly smile.

The large screen in the square went black, and the live video broadcast was abruptly cut off.

But those brief few seconds of footage were deeply etched in everyone's minds.

First came astonishment, then a deathly silence fell over the square.

Then, a noisy commotion engulfed the entire square.

What just happened?

"Is that shadowy zombie Locust that appeared on the screen actually Sig?"

"He acknowledged that Rocks of God Valley was Sieg, but not entirely. In other words, it's not certain whether Rocks at other times was Sieg?"

"So, did Rocks actually exist, or was he an imposter, Sieg?"

"And... what he said... what... what exactly did he mean?"

A reporter in the square swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. He knew a huge news story had broken.
