I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

In the blink of an eye, the cold, steep glacier rose up from the ground, obliquely blocking the sandstorm that was pressing in.

However, this sandstorm should not be underestimated. Strands of sand pounded against the glacier, quickly causing numerous cracks to appear.

Click, click.

The glacier that had just risen from the ground collapsed, but soon another glacier formed and rose up again.

Aokiji stood still, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Sieg again.

Even just blocking all the aftershocks of the sandstorm was already quite a challenge for him.

But that man cleaved the sandstorm in two with a single sword strike...

"This person might have the strength of a general!"

midair.

The commotion of the ice freezing naturally caught Sieg's attention.

He stood in the air, sword in one hand and Robin in the other. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then he saw Aokiji behind him.

Aokiji seemed to sense something and raised his head to meet Sig's gaze from afar.

"Does it have to be so complicated? Another Aokiji?"

Sig's heart skipped a beat.

It's unknown whether Aokiji has the strength of a Marine Admiral, but dealing with him would probably be a piece of cake.

Fortunately, the dust storm caused by Crocodile still had some residual heat, temporarily restraining Aokiji, who wanted to protect the city, and the two sides have not yet clashed.

"How do we deal with Aokiji? Or should we leave now?"

Sig was pondering a solution when he noticed Aokiji's gaze vaguely falling on Robin in his arms.

At the same time, Sig felt Robin's entire body stiffen slightly in his arms.

"Aokiji..."

Robin's face turned slightly pale.

Sieg suddenly realized.

The relationship between Aokiji and Robin is quite complicated. Robin was able to escape Ohara because Aokiji let her go back then.

Not only that, Aokiji has been secretly watching Robin's situation all these years, and in the future, after Robin joined the Straw Hat crew, he immediately came to test Luffy.

It's just like a cold-faced old father who's worried about his daughter.

"Could it be that Aokiji rushed here this time also because of Robin?"

Chapter 220 Be My Daughter

"Could it be that Aokiji rushed here this time also because of Robin?"

A thought flashed through Sieg's mind, and he already had a plan.

If that's really the case, then as long as I continue to play the role of a good father and take on the responsibility of protecting Robin, I will be able to get past Aokiji.

It may not be necessary to have another fierce battle with Aokiji.

Sig coughed lightly, his expression turning serious again. He looked down at Robin, whose body was stiff in his arms, and said in a low voice:

"Are you afraid of this naval vice admiral?"

Robin's face paled even more.

To Robin, Aokiji is one of the culprits who destroyed Ohara, and Robin currently only feels fear towards Aokiji.

The sight of this man inevitably brought back memories of the fire from many years ago...

Sig's gaze deepened, and he looked directly at Robin, saying:

"Come be my daughter."

"Neither Crocdale nor the Navy can harm you from my hands."

He's getting into character as Li Jing and really needs a daughter.

A thought suddenly flashed through Sieg's mind.

If I were to raise Robin like Nezha, could I boost her compatibility to a whole new level?

After all, eighteen-year-old Robin is still a girl and has room to grow. If she starts working hard to build muscle from today, she might be able to develop into a muscular Nezha.

At that point, Robin wouldn't need to use her Flower Flower Fruit powers to play any joint lock tricks; she could just snap necks and tear enemies apart with her bare hands—wouldn't that be much more swift and efficient?

Sig has already come up with a new title: "Thousand-Armed Vajra" Robin!

Lost in thought, he noticed Robin in his arms, her pupils trembling slightly, as if she were pondering something.

My daughter...

She originally felt more fear than anything else towards Sieg.

But just now, when Sieg held her in his arms and cleaved the storm with his sword, she felt a rare sense of security...

Compared to the West Blue pirates Robin had previously followed, or even Crocodile, the Higuma in front of her was far stronger.

But at this moment.

A cold, sharp voice suddenly rang out from behind Robin and Sig:

"Are you already plotting to betray me, Miss Sunday?"

Robin's eyes widened suddenly.

In that instant, a sand whirlwind suddenly formed behind Sig, instantly engulfing Sig and Robin and slamming them heavily to the ground.

boom!

This long-planned sneak attack was incredibly powerful. The sandstorm swept up Sig's figure and crashed to the ground, directly collapsing a broken wall. The ground cracked with spiderweb-like patterns, and dust flew up.

Crocodile stood amidst the ruins of a city, his face grim and a cigar dangling from his lips.

Higurashi's earlier sword strike that cleaved the sand tornado made Crocodile feel an immense sense of crisis. At the critical moment, he managed to break free of his elemental form, push himself out of the sand tornado, and barely avoid that earth-shattering sword strike.

Then, they quietly waited for their opportunity until this moment.

"What's wrong, Sigurd? Isn't your Observation Haki supposed to be very strong? How come you couldn't dodge my attack this time?"

Crocodile's face was grim, and his eyes revealed naked killing intent.

His long-brewing sandstorm, powerful enough to destroy the entire city, was shattered by Sieg's single sword strike.

Even his second-in-command, Robin, was to be taken away by Sig.

This has already declared the complete failure of Crocodile's plan, and it is highly likely that Crocodile will also lose his status as a Shichibukai.

In his view, Sieg was lying on the ground in a starfish shape, his whole body seemingly flattened into a meat pie.

Robin remained in his arms, with Sigurd using his body as a cushion to prevent her from getting hurt—having just said those words to Aokiji, Sigurd had no choice but to protect her.

The next second, Sig took a deep breath, his body expanded again, returned to its normal shape, and he stood up from the ground.

Tomka gave Sieg extremely strong resistance to blunt force trauma, so that even if he was smashed flat, he could easily recover. He didn't suffer any real damage from that blow just now.

"Having been my enemy twice, is this finally the first time you've struck me?"

"Crocodile, you can be proud now."

Sieg said calmly, without showing any weakness.

He met Crocodile's gaze, and at the same time released Robin from his arms, gesturing for her to walk away.

A thin layer of sweat had involuntarily seeped from his forehead.

He didn't have time to think about why his sword hadn't killed Crocodile; he had to immediately come up with a strategy to deal with the Sand Crocodile.

But in the rush, he couldn't think of any other solution.

The standoff between the two sides also surprised the survivors in the distance.

"It's Crocodile! He's finally appeared!"

"But... Crocodile is actually attacking the hero who saved the city..."

"Wait, isn't that Seagull? The infamous pirate Seagull, with a bounty of 400 million!"

"What...what exactly happened?"

Not only were ordinary people stunned, but King Cobra was also completely dumbfounded.

He wanted to take down the legendary lolicon and protect the city.

Crocodile, the hero that countless people have been waiting for, is now his enemy.

Cobra was thrown into chaos.

.......

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile's expression turned cold, and his arm suddenly expanded and turned into sand, transforming into a giant sand blade that slashed down fiercely towards Sieg.

The sand blade was extremely sharp; with a single slash, the earth was split in two, revealing a narrow crack tens of meters long.

Sig gritted his teeth. In this haste, he couldn't think of any other way. He could only hope that his ability to catch a blade barehanded would buy him some time.

As Crocodile unleashed his sand blade, Siegfried also swung his longsword down with a fierce slash.

Something happened that surprised even him.

With this sword strike, another burst of bright sword light erupted.

Sizzle!

The giant sand blade that could easily slice through the earth was instead shattered by this bright sword light.

Not only that, the sword light also struck Crocodile, cleaving his body in two!

When the sword was unleashed, both Siegfried and Crocodile were momentarily stunned.

Crocodile looked down at the horrific wound on his chest and abdomen that completely split his body in two.

At the site of the wound, strands of fine sand gathered again, and soon they coalesced back into a complete human shape.
