I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The other is his enemies who have not yet submitted to him.

Among his enemies, only a handful, such as Higuma, Roger, and Whitebeard, were worthy of his attention and were considered opponents he had not yet defeated.

But an opponent is also an enemy.

It's either fight or submit; there's no third option.

The golden lion, with a cigar in its mouth, laughed loudly in the howling wind.

Then he reached forward and pressed down gently.

The inky sea of ​​clouds seemed to boil, churning and roaring as it pressed down.

Sig looked up at the sky.

An endless expanse of dark clouds surged toward him, filling his entire field of vision.

It was as if the sky had collapsed, the end of the world had come, and that inverted, pitch-black ocean was pouring down.

Chapter 1242 I Want to Beat Ten 8k

call out!

call out!

The two figures collided and intersected repeatedly in the air, each impact creating a vortex of air.

Both Golden Lion and Sigurd possess powerful aerial agility, darting back and forth across the battlefield like two shooting stars.

call.....

Sig paused briefly in mid-air, then put away the tattered Armament Haki gloves he was holding and placed them in his inventory.

Armament Haki gloves have proven invaluable in the past, allowing Sigurd, with the aid of his telekinetic abilities, to briefly block attacks from top-tier fighters.

However, compared to Sig's own physical strength and domineering presence after his life was restored, the gloves' protective capabilities are somewhat inadequate.

Especially in front of a powerful being like the Golden Lion, it showed its low durability and cracked in no time.

While the insulation layer in Boruto can still perform remarkably well, its protective capabilities are somewhat outdated.

“Now… we no longer need such external things,” Sieg whispered, his eyelids lowered.

A hundred meters away from him, the Golden Lion also looked down at his own legs, riddled with holes and covered in ice crystals.

After being rejuvenated, he possesses an even stronger physique and an undiminished domineering aura, making him a well-rounded warrior with no weaknesses.

But these days, who isn't a jack-of-all-trades, master of none?

Golden Lion's legs, which are made of swords below his knees, are created using the power of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit. Although they are hardened with Armament Haki, they are still a bit fragile and were repeatedly interrupted by Sigurd during the battle.

"Slash Wave!"

With a flick of its right leg, the golden lion unleashed a massive golden sword beam that slashed down from above. Sig spun around to dodge it, but the aftershocks of the sword beam split the sea surface thousands of meters below an island in two, sending waves surging.

"Storm Foot".

Sig also bent his right leg, gathered his strength slightly, and then spun around and kicked out. A similarly sharp vacuum slash shot out, grazing the golden lion's fluffy golden hair and shooting diagonally into the sky, cutting a huge chasm in the thick sea of ​​clouds, as if the sky had cracked open.

The two unleashed their respective skills, flashing like two shooting stars, sometimes traversing the battlefield, sometimes splitting the sea in two into an abyss, and sometimes cutting deep ravines through the thick sea of ​​clouds.

Boom!...

On the other side of the battlefield, the intensity of the battle between the mountain bandits was also quite high.

The Dushan-class battleship was no smaller than the Golden Lion's Sky Island, and its surface was covered with a high-strength Wahlbo alloy armor layer. When this giant ship ignored the heavy artillery fire, the fifty-six emperors all changed color.

Their dozens of pirate ships, which had been surrounding them from all sides in the air, couldn't help but retreat when the giant ship, as large as an island, came crashing down.

The fifty-six emperors were almost all great pirates of the old era. After more than ten years of selection, none of them were easy to deal with, even in their old age, as they were still able to thrive in the New World.

When he was first released from prison and fought Sieg in Water Seven, the Fifty-Six Emperors were not in good condition and had not fought for many years.

Barrett was the only one who continued to train while in prison, and her strength actually improved instead of declining.

Now, both in age and condition, he is stronger than he was in his prime.

Although they are strong, they are not a single pirate crew. Each of them has their own agenda, and they form a loose pirate alliance centered around Shiki and Ain, the user of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit.

Faced with that terrifyingly large behemoth, no one attempted to confront it head-on; instead, they instinctively retreated to protect themselves.

Boom boom boom!

On the walls of the Dushan, cannons roared in unison, and amidst the cover of the cannon fire, streaks of black shadows soared into the air.

First came Ah Ling riding a flying horse, followed by hundreds of flying carpets and bandits riding on them.

The Homies created by the Soul-Soul Fruit are derivatives of Devil Fruits and each possesses its own unique abilities.

For example, the bicorn hat Napoleon could transform into a straight-bladed longsword or a long knife, which is clearly something that an ordinary hat could not do.

The Homie flying carpet that Brin once rode on allowed her to fly in the air with creatures like Zeus the thundercloud.

Alyn did not possess Charlotte Linlin's steel body, but she had a soul even more powerful than the nun's. With her soul, she created hundreds of flying carpet homies in one go, and now the sky was filled with flying carpets.

"An air force created using Devil Fruit abilities...?" Wald and the others were slightly taken aback.

The Float-Float Fruit can make pirate ships and even islands float into the air, and the Homies of the Soul-Soul Fruit have also shown a similar function.

"Wait, that woman riding a flying horse and carrying a greatsword..." Several of the fifty-six emperors' expressions changed drastically.

Riding on her winged horse, Ah Ling led the flying carpet army in a charge. Her long hair, wrapped around the sun Prometheus, transformed into raging flames, while the greatsword in her hand was crackling with blazing white lightning.

This is the same ability and move as Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, but on the battlefield at this moment, several of the Fifty-Six Emperors have made the connection to someone else.

“Wang Xige? She’s also Wang Xige?” someone murmured, their eyes filled with disbelief.

In my memory, there was once a man wearing a panda mask who called himself King Sieg and personally beat some of them into Impel Down.

Considering that face blindness is rampant in the pirate world, and that "King Sig" does indeed possess a variety of incredible abilities, they didn't think much of it at the time.

It was only when Ah Ling reappeared in front of them that those memories from more than twenty years ago resurfaced, filling them with indescribable astonishment.

Sig and the Golden Lion faced off, but in front of them was still "King Sig"!

On the other side...

"Momo - 100x Speed ​​Slash!"

A large scythe rapidly expanded in Wald's hands, growing even larger than the pirate ship beneath his feet.

The powerful Armament Haki hardened the scythe, turning it black and making it almost blurry and disappear in the air. It sliced ​​through the air at an astonishing speed, cleaving down with a sharp sonic boom.

The Momo-Momo Fruit's ability allows objects to be magnified a hundredfold instantly and their speed to increase a hundredfold. With just this one fruit, Wald possesses explosive power that no one can match.

The scythe in his hand, which was larger than a boat, was not only big and hard, but also extremely fast.

Boom!

A heavy thud echoed as Barrett was cleaved by the giant scythe and crashed onto a floating island below, the ground cracking like a spiderweb.

Barrett stood on the cracked ground, her arms still covering her chest, staring intently at them.

After years of training, Barrett's Armament Haki is exceptional, almost unlike anything else in this world.

At that moment, his upper arms, which were covered in black ink, were slashed open, and blood flowed down his forearms.

Barrett stared intently at the wound on her arm, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up wildly.

Whether it's his vast Armament Haki, or the physical bodies of Kaido and Big Mom... these powerful figures, known for their defensive capabilities, have a significant advantage when facing opponents who are weaker than them.

Gua sha?

Gua sha can at least draw some blood, but Kaido and Big Mom's bodies are practically impervious to blades and spears; they can stand still and no one can penetrate them.

While this formidable defensive capability is astonishing and can give one a significant advantage against the weak, it is clearly impossible to achieve complete defense against equally matched opponents, such as Kozuki Oden.

"Not bad. The Momo-Momo Fruit amplifies the size and speed of the weapon, while Armament Haki gives it amazing hardness, right?" Barret grinned.

He raised his right arm, gripping the giant scythe tightly with one hand, while his left hand gently pressed against the ground.

"only....."

“But I’m bigger and harder than you.”

"Combined!"

A faint purple light spread wildly outward from Barrett's center, followed by a tsunami of Armament Haki surging outward.

At that moment, the entire floating island beneath his feet trembled violently, and all the earth and rocks rushed towards him, rising from the ground into a towering humanoid mountain.

Top-tier ability users, like Whitebeard, can have their powers so powerful that they can cover an entire island, causing earthquakes and tsunamis and altering the island's topography.

Where these top-tier powerhouses go, it's like a natural disaster. For example, Punk Hazard's landscape was completely altered by the battle between Aokiji and Akainu, turning it into an island of ice and fire, half lava and half glaciers.

And this time...

Barrett merged with the small floating island beneath his feet... He merged, but not completely.

The small sky island beneath their feet floats because of Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability. Apart from the user, the Float-Float Fruit can only make inanimate objects float.

Once Barrett seizes the Golden Lion's Sky Island and merges with it, the island will fall from the sky.

Even without merging with the entire island, it still forms a massive mountain range hundreds or even thousands of meters tall.

This is a true mountain trek.

This mountain giant stands firmly on the ground, while a pirate ship floats in mid-air at his waist, as if he could pluck stars from the sky.

With just a single slap, it was as if mountains were hanging upside down, crashing down and crushing several pirate ships into twisted pieces with overwhelming force.

“Barrett is here again…” The fifty-six emperors had complicated expressions. They had seen Barrett use this trick before, back when she broke out of Impel Down.

Despite appearing to be riddled with flaws, the Mountain Giant, under the influence of its extraordinary Armament Haki, is surprisingly without any weaknesses, possessing extremely high defensive capabilities throughout its body.

If there is anything to it, it's the consumption of domineering energy.

"Damn it..." Barrett wasn't smug at this moment; instead, she felt a pang of regret.

"Last time, on the floating island atop the World Tree, because there weren't enough materials available for fusion on that small island used for combat, I wasn't able to fully utilize my abilities..."
