I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Upon hearing this, Milo's expression became incredibly complicated. Then, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He collapsed to the ground, life fading away.

"The nemesis of 80 million swordsmen has fallen so easily?"

"He only exchanged one move with Sieg, how could he have suffered so many injuries?"

Countless shocked gazes fell upon the corpse on the ground.

Apart from the severed hands, there was hardly anything intact on the corpse.

However, at this moment, Sieg was also surprised.

"Who is the murderer? Could it be Monka?"

Sieg only sawed off the other person's palm, which was not a fatal wound.

Even if she fell into a coma due to massive bleeding, it couldn't have happened this quickly...

"Besides Monka, was someone else involved? These injuries are very strange."

Sig immediately became alert.

A powerful figure who silently inflicted a fatal wound on an 80 million pirate might be lurking in the shadows or among the crowd.

bang bang bang...

Sigurd immediately activated his Observation Haki, searching around, and his heartbeat involuntarily grew louder.

........

dark place.

Doflamingo glanced thoughtfully at the broken, transparent thread on his finger.

Did he lose the battle for control of Milo's body?

The threads controlled by Doflamingo are even harder than steel, equivalent to countless extremely sharp blades.

But under that intense pulling force, it succumbed...

Not only did the silk thread break, but the pirate with the 80 million taels of silver suffered a severe injury instantly and was almost torn in two.

Doflamingo felt slightly defeated when his signature move was defeated by Sigurd.

"Fortunately, I had someone test Sieg's strength beforehand, so I didn't personally confront him directly..."

"No, that's not right."

"My little tricks were discovered by Sieg? That's why he deliberately used the same manipulation techniques to fight me from a distance?"

As this thought crossed his mind, Doflamingo also heard the strange thumping sound, and an involuntary sense of pressure welled up inside him.

His expression changed slightly, and he took a few steps back, but then stopped and looked up.

In his eyes.

Amidst a deafening explosion, a bullet pierced the sky and hurtled straight toward Sig!

Bang bang bang bang!

Sig's heart pounded faster at that moment, and a sense of fear washed over him.

The newly activated Observation Haki sensed a dangerous aura approaching from behind at an extremely fast speed!

The dangerous aura came too fast. Even though Sig had activated the True Emperor Engine and his reaction speed had increased by a great deal, he still didn't have time to avoid it.

A thought arose in my mind.

Possession Card: Iruma Activated! 100% Evasion Activated!

Chapter 181 Shocking! Mountain Bandit King Confesses His Love to a 12-Year-Old Girl in the Street!

Amidst the deafening roar of the air being torn apart, a bullet hurtled through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Sieg tilted his body to the left, narrowly avoiding the bullet.

boom!

The bullet grazed Sig's body and landed three meters away, shattering the street floor and leaving a deep bullet hole.

"There really was someone lurking in the shadows!"

Sig's heartbeat quickened.

His gaze fell on the bullet hole in the floor.

Then, to his astonishment, he saw the shattered bullet slowly disappearing from the bullet hole.

"The bullet disappeared? Is it someone with superpowers?"

In this world, if something unscientific happens, half of the time it can be attributed to people with superpowers.

Sig was immediately alarmed and continued to use his Observation Haki to sense the presence of people near and far.

From the angle of the bullets, Sig could also roughly determine which direction the attack came from.

Sig looked up and gazed into the distance.

Observation Haki is not the same as having clairvoyance; it only allows one to vaguely sense other presences.

But Usopp's Haki is a bit special; he excels at long-distance perception.

Even from several kilometers away, Sieg could vaguely sense the two figures in the air.

A huge, obese figure took off in the air like a helicopter and quickly disappeared into the distance.

On his back, a young girl was crouching, her forearm transformed into a sniper rifle, aiming at this side.

"It seems to be the Baby-5 and Buffalo duo from the Don Quixote family?"

The thought flashed through Sieg's mind, and he couldn't help but glance at the corpse on the ground, with its many wounds that looked like they had been cut by a sharp blade.

"Did Doflamingo really send people? Besides Baby-5 and the other two, are there other executives here...?"

"Could this blade-like wound be the work of Diamante, the user of the Flag-Flag Fruit?"

Sig immediately thought of his previous phone conversation with Doflamingo.

Did they really send someone to collect the body? Has my plan backfired again?

Sig had no time for regrets; Iruma Card gave him a wild, instinctive warning.

Right now, Sig felt a warning sign coming from the direction of BABY-5 once again.

Sieg looked up, his heart filled with anxiety. He could vaguely sense that BABY-5 had raised her sniper rifle once again.

Has my plan backfired again?

Sieg really didn't have any good ideas on how to deal with an enemy several kilometers away.

Using the ability to catch a blade barehanded as a summoning spell? It's more likely that a random passerby would run by and catch it.

The passersby were actually fine.

If we were to summon some powerful figure lurking in the shadows, things would get really messy...

While pondering, Sig, relying on the fact that his 100% evasion effect was still intact, made a risky decision.

He stood still, not trying to dodge, but instead facing the direction of BABY-5, muttering something under his breath.

..........

A few kilometers away.

"BABY-5! What are you doing? Our mission is complete! The young master only said to fire one shot and then leave immediately!"

Buffalo questioned from mid-air. His hands, feet, and even the propeller-like hair on his head were spinning rapidly, like a humanoid helicopter.

He is a user of the Spin-Spin Fruit, which allows all five limbs to rotate at supersonic speeds, forming multiple propellers, and even enabling him to achieve rare long-distance flight.

Incidentally, Buffalo's fifth limb naturally refers to the propeller-shaped hair on his head.

In the navy, there are many who have mastered moonwalk and can stay airborne for short periods of time, but there are very few who have the ability to fly for long periods of time, even over islands, like Buffalo.

Doflamingo brought Buffalo and Baby-5 specifically for this reason.

"No, our mission is not yet complete! I failed to hit Sieg!"

BABY-5's eyes were filled with determination as she once again locked onto Sig, several kilometers away, through the sniper scope.

"Young Master has entrusted me with such an important task, and he needs me so much, I must complete it!"

This sniper rifle from the naval science unit is highly capable, and its built-in high-powered scope allows it to clearly see Sig's face even from several kilometers away.

"One more shot, and it'll definitely hit!"

BABY-5's gaze was firm, and he was about to pull the trigger.

Then—her finger movements froze.

In that instant, she saw through the scope that Sieg was watching her from afar with a serious expression.

They seemed to be looking at each other from several kilometers away.

Then, Sieg opened his mouth and said a sentence.

At such a distance, it was impossible for BABY-5 to hear Sig clearly.

But this sentence was something BABY-5 had longed for in her heart for a long time; it was a sentence that had been embedded deep in her soul throughout her twelve years of life.

She can read Sieg's lip movements.

"BABY-5, I need you. Be my sword, be my weapon!"

These words, like an invisible arrow, pierced BABY-5's heart from several kilometers away.

BABY-5's right arm, which had been holding a sniper rifle, has transformed back into a fair arm. She cups her cheeks in her hands, her face flushed.

"Ah~~ Is this what confessing your feelings is like?"

She pressed one hand to her chest, feeling the throbbing in her heart, and a blush rose on her face.

"What an intense feeling of being needed! Is this... love?"

Buffalo, standing beneath her feet, didn't notice BABY-5's unusual behavior, simply assuming she had finally given up on continuing her sniping attempt.

“Very good, BABY-5. Let’s leave like this,” Buffalo said.
