I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

But even just the part of their resumes that have been revealed to the world is enough to overwhelm them.

This caused several people to begin to waver.

Some people commented: "If you can't beat them, join them... Why become a henchman for the Golden Lion? It doesn't matter who you become a henchman for."

"Let's wait and see how things unfold, observe the outcome of the battle between Shiki and Sigurd, and then make a decision."

After repeated defeats, not everyone can bounce back, nor is everyone willing to be subservient to others.

Hale and the white-haired giant's back-and-forth might not be able to immediately change other people's minds, but it did stir up their own little schemes within the already disunited pirate alliance.

Some people started slacking off, some were thinking about how to survive after the war, and some secretly turned their attention to the battlefield between the Golden Lion and Siegfried.

The outcome of the battle between Shiki and Sigurd will drastically change the choices of the Fifty-Six Emperors.

On the other side of the battlefield, Wald delivered a lightning-fast punch to Barrett's chest, forcing him back several steps, before glancing at the fifty-six emperors in the distance.

"These people have wavered? How weak they are."

"They've become dependent on youthful bodies and can't let go of them. They're still thinking about how to stay young while preserving their choices. How foolish."

Wald shook his head inwardly.

He was different from the other fifty-six emperors.

He spent his time in Impel Down, frozen in ice, so his age was forever frozen on that day in the old era.

Therefore, he has not yet entered old age, his strength has not declined, and he is already at his peak.

His recruitment by the Golden Lion was for ulterior motives.

Barrett is very strong, but because of the previous twenty times explosive rock, she was caught off guard and injured. Barrett, who was already seriously injured, was now at a disadvantage.

Although he was at a disadvantage, he still possessed a massive amount of Armament Haki, making it difficult to completely defeat him.

Wald's attention was focused on various parts of the battlefield; he was more interested in the others than in Barrett, who was currently entangled with him.

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

call out!

call out!

Two shooting stars streaked across the sky, locked in a fierce battle.

The battlefield between the Fifty-Six Emperors and the Mountain Bandits was the largest sky island battlefield, centered on the main island.

The battle between Sig and the Golden Lion was different.

Both sides possess powerful aerial mobility, and the presence or absence of ground beneath their feet does not hinder their performance.

The entire Sky Island Group, consisting of more than ten Sky Islands, and even this entire sky, is their battlefield.

Wherever it goes, it tears open the sea or splits the sea of ​​clouds; every punch and kick possesses the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

"Storm Kick!"

"Slash Wave!"

The golden sword light collided with the vacuum slash unleashed by Lan's kick in mid-air, shattering the surrounding clouds into tiny fragments before they vanished together.

The next instant, the two sides in the air attacked almost simultaneously.

The Golden Lion raised his leg and kicked out with his sword, the Ice Crystal Longsword aimed straight at Sig's throat, while Sig simultaneously pointed a finger at the tip of the longsword.

Snap, bang.

The ice crystal longsword shattered once again, and blood flowed from the golden lion's knees.

Bloodstains appeared on Sieg's fingertips, and he was sent flying backward through the air by the force of the stab.

After flying dozens of meters backward, Sieg finally stood still in mid-air. He glanced at his bleeding fingertip and quietly activated Life Return. The wound on his finger began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I'm so strong," Sig exclaimed.

He tried to test his current strength in actual combat, and the result surprised even himself.

"I didn't expect to be a little bit stronger than I thought. I'm really myself."

"Heaven rewards those who persevere. While the system has provided some assistance in getting me to where I am today, my personal efforts are far more indispensable."

"In this way, we are getting closer and closer to a truly peaceful life."

Just as Sieg began to indulge in narcissism, a cloud of mist suddenly appeared, and his vision went completely black.

The golden lion's indifferent voice rang out.

"Earth Explosion Star." He clasped his hands together, stood in the air, and his long robe fluttered in the wind.

At that moment, three or four nearby sky islands on this aerial battlefield converged at an astonishing speed and crashed violently into the cloud.

Bang! Boom!

Amidst the resounding crashes, three or four floating islands collided and shattered around Sig, eventually transforming into a massive rock sphere that floated in the sky.

But the next moment, jet-black flames burst forth from the giant rock sphere, like a black spear piercing the sky, scorching all the surrounding rocks and soil to ashes.

"They actually copied me?"

Sig emerged from the black flames, a black line appearing on his forehead.

He was crushed by rocks and suffered some injuries.

When he emerged from the black flames, he was covered in dust and looked disheveled.

However, with a slight tremor of his telekinesis, all the dust and blood on his body were shattered and floated in the air, and his wounds began to heal once again.

As his physical body grew stronger, the amount of health restored by just a few large pieces of flesh was no longer enough for Sieg.

Self-healing, which allows life to return, isn't as quick, but it's more practical.

This scene also caught the eye of the Golden Lion, whose eyes revealed a hint of emotion.

"It's rare to have such an exhilarating battle..."

He has the Float Fruit, and Sigurd has telekinesis.

He possesses the Four-Sword Style of swordsmanship, while Sigurd also has superb physical skills.

His fight with Sieg started right away and has lasted for several hours without a clear winner. Both sides have suffered injuries, but neither can be considered seriously injured.

With the Golden Lion's long stamina during his prime, he could withstand such a high-intensity battle even if it lasted for three days and three nights.

However, if the game remains undecided after several hours, it's likely that even if it continues for three days and three nights, there will still be no result.

No... if we really want to be serious, the longer the fight goes on, the lower the chances of the Golden Lion winning.

Although the Golden Lion has great stamina, it can still get injured and tired.

And Sieg, who is proficient in life restoration, especially since he can control his wounds to heal themselves, has an extraordinary endurance.

"While the exhilarating battle was certainly enjoyable, Sig..." the Golden Lion said indifferently.

"Isn't it time you got serious?"

His gaze swept over the fifty-six emperors who had already begun to slack off on the distant battlefield, and his eyes turned slightly cold.

"But there are quite a few audience members waiting for one of us to take our final bow."

The alliance between the Fifty-Six Emperors and the Golden Lion is still relatively new, and the two sides have not yet established a deep enough relationship. Therefore, the Golden Lion's hesitation towards them is understandable.

Ultimately, it comes down to force.

He turned to look at Sieg and said, word by word:

"The most mysterious bandit king of the old era, where are your strange and wonderful Devil Fruit abilities?"

"And where is your sword?"

sword?

Yes.

The bandit king left behind many legends.

But among these legends, one of the most dazzling is undoubtedly his swordsmanship, which shocked the world and was even difficult for the world to understand.

His numerous encounters with the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, and his famous moves like the Great Sword of Heaven and Earth and the Flying Sword Technique... all demonstrate this.

In the early years, the outcome of the match between Sieg and Hawkeye was still a matter of much debate and uncertain.

After the Marineford War, the Mountain Bandit King was already known as the world's greatest swordsman.

But in fact, in the past year or two, Sieg has not used a sword much; he has mostly fought with his fists and feet.

You mean a sword?

Sieg stood atop the canopy of an ancient tree, his gaze fixed on the distance, and spoke softly:

"Sword, come!"

As the sound faded, a vast, invisible psychic force swept out.

Followed by.

Large shadows appeared over the giant warship Dushan.

The sky darkened once again.

Thick, leaden clouds gradually appeared in the direction of the giant ship Dushan, their shadows obscuring the floating islands below.

At that moment, regardless of whether they were mountain bandits or sea pirates, they all unconsciously realized something and looked up at the sky, gazing at the dark clouds that suddenly appeared overhead.

Some faces turned ashen, some stared blankly, while a number of swordsmen had their eyes shining, as if they had witnessed some miracle...

The dark clouds they saw were not clouds created by the Golden Lion's power, nor were they the product of Zeus's thunderclouds or the Dragon King's influence.

That's Jian Yun.

When thousands of flying swords gathered together, it was like dark clouds covering the sky and the earth.

The last time a torrential rain of swords fell was 12 years ago, summoned through Newton's coffin during the Shattered Void event.

After a long journey.

The falsehoods and lies of yesteryear are now gradually becoming reality.

At this moment.
