I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

A gigantic sword aura shot into the sky, vast and mighty, instantly shattering the black and golden-red flames wherever it went.

This sword strike cleaved the two fireballs, which were as fierce as fire and water, and in an instant, it tore a hole in the gap between the two fireballs as they collided.

After the two balls of fire in the sky gradually dimmed.

Big Mom stood on Zeus, the thundercloud, her face grim, but in her hands she held a small, floating fireball, Prometheus.

At this moment, Prometheus looked listless, and almost half of his body had turned into a strange blackish-purple color.

With a dark expression, BIGMOM reached out to grab the blackened part of Prometheus's body, but it passed right through him without him even noticing.

She reached out and placed her hand on Prometheus's body, and her soul power flowed into him once again.

This time, however, Prometheus's condition did not improve significantly. He remained listless, though the purplish-black color on half of his body had faded slightly.

BIGMOM was furious, and the thundercloud Zeus beneath his feet rapidly expanded, turning from a white cloud into pitch black, with bolts of lightning crackling incessantly.

far away.

Blackbeard Teach had just arrived and was gazing at the battlefield from afar.

When he saw both sides clearly, his heart, which had been restless because of the Dark-Dark Fruit, calmed down a little.

On one side is the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, who are on par with Whitebeard.

On the other side is... Sig?

"It's Sig again?"

Blackbeard's eyes widened, his breathing quickened, and he unconsciously clenched his teeth.

Not long ago, he encountered a fake Sig in these Sabaody Archipelago... Now it seems that the real Sig has an aura that far surpasses his.

His gaze fell on the black flames surrounding Sieg.

"Is this really the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit? Can the Dark-Dark Fruit create flames like this?"

He had seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia and knew the appearance of the Dark-Dark Fruit, as well as its power.

However, not all people with special abilities are the same.

The same fruit can be developed by different people with drastically different approaches, resulting in a huge difference in quality.

The Op-Op Fruit can be used to develop high-frequency electric shocks, and Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit can even manipulate the weather, creating thunderclouds like Zeus and suns like those of Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

The Dark-Dark Fruit—if it could truly be developed into a flame-like technique, it doesn't seem impossible...

Blackbeard observed carefully for a while, his suspicions growing stronger.

No matter how you look at it, Sig’s pitch-black flames don’t seem like ordinary flames. They don’t have much heat; instead, they have an eerie aura, like an abyss or a prison, making people shudder.

"Now, what do we do?"

Blackbeard was sweating profusely, and he was thinking of leaving.

However, the allure of the Dark Fruit made him stop in his tracks.

He joined the Whitebeard Pirates simply because there was a greater chance of obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit on that ship.

In fact, it's more likely that he will never be able to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit in his lifetime.

Now, a user who appears to be a user of the Dark-Dark Fruit has appeared before him, and he simply cannot resist the temptation.

Teach reached behind him and touched the bag of fruit, his gaze darkening further.

Last time, he acted rashly because he was momentarily complacent... This time, he will definitely not repeat the same mistake.

"I only want the Dark-Dark Fruit. I don't want any of the fancy stuff, not even the Face Fruit!"

Blackbeard thought to himself, deciding to lie low quietly.

Sudden.

Blackbeard's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look into the distance.

He saw a person who had almost given him psychological trauma.

Admiral Sengoku the Buddha, commander of the Navy Headquarters, is rushing towards them at top speed, using the Moonwalk technique.

Not only Sengoku, but also several other naval officers, including Vice Admiral Kizaru, wearing cloaks of justice, followed closely behind him.

The navy has finally arrived!

"BIGMOM! Sabaody Archipelago is not your Whole Cake Island! Are you planning to go to war with our navy just for the sake of Sig?

The Warring States period roared in a deep voice.

He led his generals to a corner of the battlefield, his brows slightly furrowed.

There were some things about the scene before him that he didn't understand.

"Wasn't it said that Sieg was going to marry Bigom? How come it seems like the two sides are at odds? Was that battle between them?"

Sengoku narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze falling on the listless flame in Bigmoon's hand.

This seems to be the case... that the Big Mom Pirates, who are numerous and much stronger, have suffered a setback at the hands of Higuma?

"Go to war with the navy?"

Upon seeing Sengoku arrive, Big Mom remained completely unfazed, letting out a sneer:

"Do you still have the strength to be my enemy, Sengoku?"

"You dare to split your forces when facing Whitebeard? You really have guts."

Zhan Guo's heart sank slightly, and he suddenly felt that things were getting tricky.

It seems that Bigom's trip to Sabaody Archipelago to contact Siegfried was a well-planned opportunistic act, not a spur-of-the-moment decision...

At this moment, a naval officer who had been hiding in the shadows finally came out and reported the situation to Sengoku.

"Hmm? Sig doesn't accept the marriage with Bigom? This is different from what I expected?"

After listening, Zhan Guo was slightly stunned.

“Mr. Sengoku…” Kizaru, who had been standing to the side and had also listened to the officer’s report, suggested:

"Isn't this better? We can simply sit back and watch the tigers fight; why should we get involved in the battle between pirates?"

"The situation is probably not that simple..." Sengoku gave BIGMOM a deep look:

"The Big Mom Pirates' goal is probably to absorb Higuma's forces... Higuma's identity is extraordinary; if he falls into Big Mom's hands, we'll be in a very passive position."

"We've finally caught Sieg, we can't just sit by and watch him get away! Even if one of the Four Emperors comes, it won't change anything!"

Chapter 314 I Don't Want to Try Anymore

The arrival of the navy disrupted the battlefield situation, and the three forces stood in a stalemate, with no one daring to make a move for a time.

Neither the Big Mom Pirates nor the Navy were clearly prepared to go to war with the other side.

A brief silence fell over the battlefield.

The bandits under Sig's command could only hide in an inconspicuous corner on one side of the battlefield.

Putting aside others, even Stussy himself might not have the confidence to protect himself in a battle of this scale.

Only Higuma stood alone in the center of the battlefield, sandwiched between the Big Mom Pirates and Marine Admiral Sengoku.

Of these three forces, Sig is the weakest.

Even with all his impressive achievements along the way, he is still not comparable to the Four Emperors or the Admirals.

Moreover, none of the Four Emperors and their generals came alone.

"How to do?"

Surrounded by black flames, Sieg looked around and felt a chill run through him; his blood seemed to freeze.

He could see that Sengoku and the others were paying more attention to him, Sig.

This suggests that the Navy's primary target might be him, rather than Bigam!

"What did I do? Why did I offend both the Four Emperors and the Admirals at the same time?"

"Could it be that Sengoku, like Big Mom, is also lusting after the mountain bandit king's stunning good looks?"

Sieg was completely bewildered and could barely think straight.

As his emotions fluctuated, the black flames surrounding him pulsed even more violently.

.........

dark place.

Blackbeard Teach gazed at the battlefield, his tension growing even stronger.

He no longer wants to get involved in this matter, even though Sigurd is suspected to be a Dark-Dark Fruit user... but he's too afraid to run away.

Both the Admirals and the Four Emperors are powerful individuals with extremely strong Observation Haki. Blackbeard was only able to secretly observe because everyone's attention was focused on the battlefield...

If you suddenly turn and run away, attracting the attention of any side, you'll die even faster!

Bang bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang bang!

At that moment, a deep, drum-like sound caught Blackbeard's attention.

His gaze finally settled on Sig in the center of the battlefield.

The Emperor Engine's sound is deep and dense, yet extremely penetrating, possessing a power that inexplicably sends shivers down one's spine.

With the drum-like sound, the pitch-black flames surrounding Sig rose and fell, surging and rolling like a tide.

At this moment, Sieg stood alone in the center of the battlefield, but his overwhelming aura dominated the entire field.

"To face the Four Emperors and their generals alone and still unleash such fighting spirit and momentum... I underestimated Sigurd..."

Blackbeard's expression turned serious, and he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't acted impulsively.

Despite being the seemingly weakest, Sigurd's side possessed a frighteningly strong aura, even making Blackbeard's heart tremble.

Not only Blackbeard, but also the Navy and Big Mom's attention is focused on Higuma.

Sig was the undisputed focus of the battlefield, even the Four Emperors and the Admirals seemed to be just supporting characters.

I can't afford to offend them... I can't afford to offend any of them...
