I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

“The red earth is a symbol,” he said deeply.

"The Red Line is ruled by the Celestial Dragons of the Cloud Kingdom, which also divides the world in two."

"Pirates claim to be free, sailing freely on the Grand Line, but the Grand Line is just a predetermined track."

“Now, the obstacle of the Red Line has disappeared.” Monkey D. Dragon looked at the huge gap in the middle of the Red Line and clenched his fist.

Everyone is like a dragon.

Everyone can be a dragon!

The bandits and revolutionary soldiers erupted in loud cheers, their eyes shining with an alarming light, like the rising sun.

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

P.S.: On a side note.

The Five Elders in One Piece are based on real-life leaders such as Gorbachev and Lincoln.

When I wrote about "the Five Elders becoming Comrades" a couple of days ago, I didn't think about the real-life figures that inspired the Five Elders, and I didn't intentionally hint at it.

He just randomly picked a "mustache" from among the Five Elders.

Then the Five Old Men with the Eight-Character Mustache... just happens to look like this.

It really was quite a coincidence; it was fate.

Chapter 1283 The Second King 4k

Inside the Red Earth Continent, in the city of Pangu.

Among the flowers is Im's residence, a palace deep within the city of Pangaea.

The hall is lush with flowers and plants, and colorful wildflowers bloom on the lawn.

A tall, slender figure walked across the grass. She reached out and gently touched the flowers, and the previously slightly wilted white blossoms suddenly bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Im strolled alone through the hall, his expression as calm as ever, his face expressionless, as he simply looked around at the flowers.

She was as calm as if she had just participated in a major battle, or as if she had just returned from a walk after dinner.

In fact, Im had no intention of fighting Sieg.

Two years ago, during the Marineford War, Sigurd became the first person to survive a full-power Uranus cannon attack... Considering that Rocks of God Valley was also Sigurd, and he didn't die either, it was him both times.

This should have been a wake-up call for Im, not to mention that he was from 800 years ago.

Following the Marineford War, the World Government went on high alert, and the Navy began a massive internal purge. CP, originally just an intelligence agency, was expanded into a military force, and a massive number of civilian laborers were deployed to the Red Line...

Im made many preparations for this day.

As the true world ruler, the most detailed information about Sig naturally fell into her hands.

Wano Country has actually fallen under Higuma's control... This is information obtained by CP0.

Importantly, Wano Country is a major producer of seastone and possesses the world's most advanced seastone processing technology.

Sig had used Seastone weapons before, which was no secret to Im.

Seastone is one of the most effective weapons against Devil Fruit users; even the most powerful Devil Fruit users cannot escape this weakness.

Therefore, Im had no intention of fighting Sieg, especially not in close combat.

During the battle in Mary Geoise, Im briefly appeared and then disappeared again. At that time, she was already mentally prepared to activate the Clay Serpent.

until now.

“The plan was a success.” She sat on the throne, propping her head up with one hand, her expression completely unchanged.

Next, once the Red Earth Serpent has crushed everyone, she can rebuild the World Government, erase this part of history, and begin a new cycle...

And then...

Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the far distance, and the red earth continent surrounding the Pangu City fortress was torn apart by a tremendous force.

Im was startled, and his usually calm eyes finally revealed an unprecedented look of surprise.

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

On this day, the many residents on both sides of the Grand Line spent a morning they would never forget.

When the red earth came to life, their worldview, built up over decades, was completely shattered.

Has the red earth continent come to life?

This is a colossal creature that no sea king can compare to. There is nothing on this planet that can rival it. The only thing more vast and expansive than the Red Line is probably this planet itself.

When that vast sword light ripped through the sky like thunder, piercing through the Red Earth Continent and creating a wide ravine in the clouds, their worldview, which had just been shattered, was shattered once again.

"Is this even human? Is this the kind of power that humans can unleash?"

"It's just like..." The residents of the Sabaody Archipelago thought carefully and finally remembered the dazzling pillar of light that shattered the Red Line during the Marineford War two years ago.

"Is this destructive power comparable to the Heavenly King, the foremost ancient weapon?"

"No...it might be even more terrifying."

"I heard that Sig used the power of the Heavenly King to carve a large hole in the Red Earth."

"And this time, the Red Line continent has actually been severed?"

Not to mention the civilians on the many islands.

Red-haired Shanks and Hawkeye, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, along with the bandits and revolutionaries who had been involved in the war, were deeply shocked and had mixed feelings.

The giant serpent that the Red Earth had transformed into was terrifying; they couldn't even think of a way to deal with it.

But such a behemoth could cause a tsunami with a mere turn. Yet, before it could unleash its destructive power, it was cleanly and decisively severed in two by Sieg's sword.

It's like finally meeting the final boss after going through a series of hardships and twists, only to be instantly killed before the final boss even had a chance to say a few harsh words.

anyway.

Before anyone could have predicted it, the Red Line continent had been severed in two by a single sword strike.

On the Dushan, a giant ship hovering in the air.

Besides the people from Liangshan Marsh, many marines, led by Akainu and Aokiji, also boarded Higuma's ship at this time.

They are not actually on the same side as Liangshan Marsh; in fact, they were mortal enemies for decades. Now they just have a common enemy.

However, after the Great Flood submerged the Holy Land and the Red Earth Continent was struck by a serpent earthquake, the Navy had no choice but to accept the aid from Sig's side and board the Dushan, an aerial refuge.

Most of the Marines who responded to Akainu's call to defect were upholding a belief in justice, so they wouldn't immediately turn against him after he saved their lives, and temporarily set aside their past grievances.

"Look, Sig is back."

Someone shouted.

Sig, who had been standing in the air, began to return. He seemed to be in good condition and had not been affected much.

Countless people looked at Sieg with a strange sense of awe.

Those who participated in this final war in the Holy Land were among the strongest in the world, but Sig's performance far exceeded their expectations.

Only the bandits and revolutionaries behaved differently; their eyes gleamed.

More than their performance, these people care about other things.

The red earth continent was truly severed by him; this is a symbol.

"Are you... alright? Do you need to rest for a while?"

Stussy stepped forward, looking at him with a hint of worry.

Sig looked up at the sky.

By this time, the weather had turned cool, the sun had risen, and the sunlight fell on Sieg, giving him a warm feeling all over.

The World Tree and the Sun Tree Eve have re-entered Sigur's body, so Sigur can absorb a lot of sunlight energy and replenish his strength in places with sunlight.

“I’m feeling a bit drained… I need to rest for a while,” Sig said.

Sieg did not know the upper limit of Li Jing's swordsmanship.

Therefore, in the attack just now, he did not only use Li Jing's swordsmanship, but used almost all the power he could muster.

Armament Haki hardens the flames, Conqueror's Haki coils around them, and the black flames, greatly enhanced by the black dragon's power,...

Just like Luffy after using Gear Up, he always needs to rest for a while because of the intense energy he expends.

Sig felt the sunlight shining on him and nodded:

"Yes, I need to rest for a while."

After he finished speaking, many people around him breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no way around it; Sieg's sword strike that severed the Red Earth Continent had created an overwhelming sense of pressure, even for someone as renowned as the Mountain Bandit King.

Perhaps, like Luffy's Gear Fourth, it's a technique that severely overdraws power or even life itself?

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, commotion arose again from the distant Red Earth Continent.

The crimson continent standing on the sea suddenly began to tremble violently in the area of ​​the cliff severed by the sword light, and the collapsing soil and rocks swayed and fell into the sea from the gap.

Amidst the reddish earth and rocks, the outline of a huge, silvery-white object could be vaguely seen emerging from the soil.

"That is..."

To everyone's astonishment, Violet also looked in the direction of the sound, and her tightly closed eyes snapped open:

"That's... Pangu City!"

“Pangu City? Did I miss?” Sig was taken aback.

Pangaea is the heart city in the words of the Five Elders with the mustache, and it is also the location of Im and the World Government forces.

He was indeed attacking according to Violet's instructions; he didn't miss.

"It seems that it wasn't a missed strike, but rather that the Red Earth Serpent shifted the position of Pangu City through its internal movements before being hit."

"Is it still not over?"

A thought struck Sieg, and he took to the air once more.

“Sig, didn’t you say you needed to rest?” Stussy asked quickly, a thought suddenly occurring to him.
