I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Has Sigurd never shown this before? Is this the trump card that this billion-bounty pirate holds?"

"The true power of roasted gluten fruit?"

"Could it be... the legendary fragrance that could even kill the Four Emperors?"

Someone, trembling, offered a guess.

Chapter 254 The True Power of the Roasted Gluten Fruit

"Could it be... the legendary fragrance that could even kill the Four Emperors?"

The audience's speculations had clearly been overheard by Sieg on stage.

He snorted coldly, but shook his head.

"If I were to release the aroma of roasted gluten right here, you would all die from the tantalizing smell."

"This ultimate trump card is not something you lackeys can witness."

"What we are going to show today is a different kind of power."

Before the pirates below could react, Sigurd clenched his fist and raised it in front of him.

Amidst the intense attention of everyone, a ball of flame suddenly appeared on Sieg's fist.

The flames were a bright yellow color, burning on Sieg's fist. The flames spread rapidly the moment they appeared, engulfing Sieg's entire body in flames in an instant!

The air was distorted by the burning flames, and Sieg had become a burning human torch.

Strangely, Sieg's clothes seemed unaffected by the flames.

"Flames? This... could this be the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit?"

"The Flame-Flame Fruit? Is this part of the power of the Roasted Gluten Fruit?"

"After fusing into the Roasted Gluten Fruit, it can still use the Flame-Flame Fruit's power?"

Everyone looked surprised, their eyes widening in astonishment.

As is widely known, the Roasted Gluten Fruit is a fusion of three fruits: the Gum-Gum Fruit, the String-String Fruit, and the Flame-Flame Fruit.

However, some people know perfectly well that the user of the String-String Fruit is the current Shichibukai, Donquixote Doflamingo.

No two Devil Fruits are the same in the world, so the only user of the String-String Fruit can be Doflamingo.

Sigurd's abilities shouldn't include the String-String Fruit.

But now, Sieg has taught them a lesson.

"Is this the true power of the Roasted Gluten Fruit? Seeing is believing!"

Someone exclaimed excitedly:

"The user of the Roasted Gluten Fruit, Sigurd, can actually use the powers of three fruits: the Gum-Gum Fruit, the Flame-Flame Fruit, and the String-String Fruit?"

"Does this mean that the Roasted Gluten Fruit is the superior Devil Fruit among these three?"

"No, that's impossible... Does that mean Sigurd possesses the power of three or four Devil Fruits?"

Amidst the various speculations of the audience, Sieg on stage made another move.

He looked at the audience with a cold smile:

"Since you don't believe me, then I'll show you the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit!"

The flames on his body grew even hotter and brighter, and a giant ball of flame suddenly erupted from his clenched fist.

"fire punch!"

Amidst low gasps, the massive, flaming fist suddenly expanded and slammed straight toward the audience. The intense heat caused the surrounding air to distort.

Everyone present paled in shock. They saw a massive, overwhelming fiery fist rushing towards them, almost filling their entire field of vision.

"Sig wants to make a move?"

"He actually wanted to attack everyone present?"

Many impatient people stood up abruptly, unable to resist drawing their swords, already poised to strike.

Only a few people, including Teach, quickly calmed down and remained seated.

They looked up as the giant, fiery fist swept past the stands.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the powerful fire fist quickly dissipated, and the auction house returned to silence.

Sig's fiery punch didn't directly hit anyone; it just grazed the edge.

However, the scorching heat from the flames still made many people feel uncomfortable and irritable.

"It really is the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit..."

"Was Sieg's attack just a deliberate intimidation? Hmph, he is indeed as arrogant and domineering as the rumors say."

Many people looked coldly at him, their hearts filled with rage.

But the evil thoughts in his heart gradually subsided.

"The so-called ultimate Devil Fruit is equal to the sum of the powers of three fruits, plus the aroma of the Roasted Gluten Fruit as the ultimate trump card...?"

"Hmph, our goal is to seize the Angel Fruit, not to be enemies with Sieg. Let's let him go this time."

Sigurd has already demonstrated the power of the Roasted Gluten Fruit, which is enough to make all those with evil intentions think twice.

After all, this is the first person in history to have multiple abilities!

Not a dual Devil Fruit user, but a multi-Devil Fruit user!

The entire audience fell silent, stunned by the horrifying scene.

In the end, it was the auctioneer's voice that rang out first.

"Lord Sigurd's multi-Fruit power is evident to all; therefore, the Angel Fruit will now be auctioned..."

Before the auctioneer could finish his sentence, Teach's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted:

"Wait, what about Sigurd's Face Fruit ability? Didn't you just claim that Sigurd still had the power of the Face Fruit?"

Teach could no longer remain calm.

The Face Fruit is a Devil Fruit ranked even higher than the Dark-Dark Fruit, and Teach has been curious about it for many days.

"That's right."

"How can we not show off our achievements?"

"That only proved that Sigurd is indeed a user of the Roasted Gluten Fruit, but the Face Fruit hasn't been shown yet..."

The others in the audience also started to cheer.

"Oh? The fruit of saving face?"

Upon hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Sieg's face.

"You want me to demonstrate the power of face here? You're courting death."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

As he spoke, Sieg looked down at the audience below the stage, surveying them with disdain.

"Everyone here, give me, Sieg, some face, kneel down..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud thud was heard.

The auctioneer on the stage had already knelt down before Sieg, his expression even more unsightly than one of crying.

"Lord Sig, please don't stoop to their level..."

"The power of the Face Fruit is invisible and intangible, making it difficult to verify. Once activated, it either forces others to submit or brings terrible misfortune, such as serious illness or death..."

"Lord Sigurd, please do not use this forbidden power here..."

The auctioneer was already trembling as he spoke.

At this, the expressions of the pirates below the stage, including Teach, were uncertain.

Sieg didn't finish his sentence before the auctioneer interrupted him, but everyone understood what he meant.

He wants everyone to kneel before him!

If the "face-saving fruit" is real, then those in the audience only have two choices: either bow their heads and kneel, or stubbornly refuse to kneel and then suffer misfortune in the future.

Misfortune is not something that can be seen in a short time.

Chapter 255 The Truth About the Fake Sig

Teach's expression gradually darkened.

He wanted to see the power of face, but he didn't want to put himself in danger.

What if... this legendary "face-saving fruit" really exists?

After all, the power of the Gluten Fruit has already been revealed, so if the Face Fruit is real, it doesn't seem impossible.

Everyone in the audience, including Teach, remained silent, and no one insisted that Sieg demonstrate his so-called "face-saving fruit."

Seeing that the room had quieted down again, the auctioneer wiped his brow and prepared to continue the auction:

"Next, we will officially begin the auction..."

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, another voice rang out, interrupting the auctioneer.

"Wait, Sig, if you really possess a treasure like the Angel Fruit, why are you selling it here?"

"Use it for yourself, for your subordinates, and to win over powerful figures to expand your influence. Isn't that better?"

Someone voiced the question that was on the minds of the pirates.

Money is certainly important to pirates, but it's a different story when it comes to big shots like Higuma.

Even if the Angel Fruit sells for an astronomical price, so what?

This is an Angel Fruit! If the rumors are true, even the strongest beings on the sea, such as the Four Emperors and the Admirals, could take their strength a big step forward with the help of Angel Fruits.

"That's right. I won't dare buy this Angel Fruit unless it's explained clearly."
