I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"So you finally understand the power of the merfolk?"

Ah Long bared his teeth in a ferocious smile, then reached into his mouth and pulled out a mouthful of serrated fangs.

Not only that, his sharp teeth grew rapidly, and a pair of sharp teeth grew in just a few seconds.

"Growing so fast? Then give me a few more teeth?" the bald man asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, that's the power of us fishmen. If you want a hundred sets of teeth, I can give you any."

Ah Long kept reaching into his mouth, and his teeth fell out one by one, which were then collected by Baldy and the others.

"By the way, what do you need so many teeth for?" Ah Long asked.

Then, he saw the bald man distribute a large pile of shark teeth to the bandits, who then stuffed them into their mouths.

These sharp teeth stretched their mouths wide, creating a huge, chilling smile.

"Awesome!"

Amidst the faint roar of the Emperor's engine, the bandits, their faces beaming with positive energy, shouted "Oli Gei!" as they charged toward the navy!

"Wh...what is that?"

The approaching navy men felt a chill run down their spines when they suddenly saw so many strange faces charging towards them.

However, since they were all Marines from Headquarters, although they felt their scalps tingling, they could still lift their swords and were not completely terrified.

At that moment, a strange and sharp sound suddenly rang in their minds, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, instantly giving them goosebumps.

Then, translucent, negative ghosts emerged from the ground, passing through the bodies of the marines one by one, causing them to kneel down instantly.

This bizarre scene made the originally high-spirited navy men's eyelids twitch.

"Just what kind of devils are the bandits under Sig's command?"

Chapter 322 Forbidden Power

In a corner of the battlefield, Kro had already put on his cat paws. He pushed up his glasses with the heel of his hand, his eyes cold. He glanced at the bandits who were charging with strange slogans, and his lips twitched.

"A jumble of abilities... Apart from me, there are hardly any normal people in the bandit group."

Kro shook his head, stood still, and stretched out his hands to the left and right. With two soft hissing sounds, colorless gas was emitted from his cat claws, enveloping the two groups of marines on the left and right.

Then, a ghostly blue flame shot out from the cat's paw, followed by two loud explosions, the flames burst open, and the shockwave swept out.

"My Swamp Gas Fruit ability is still the most normal."

A cold smile gradually appeared on Kuro's face. His cat-like hands were burning with eerie blue flames. With a swift movement, he plunged into the midst of the navy like a ghost.

Behind the battlefield, Crocdale stood alone, her face quite grim.

She was shackled with seastone, which not only prevented her from using her abilities, but also rendered her essentially an ordinary person with little combat capability.

A navy officer slashed at her from the side with a knife. Crocodile narrowed her eyes and bit down hard on her cigar, but she was powerless to dodge.

Just as he was about to be struck, a semi-transparent, negative ghost passed through the navy's body, causing him to drop his sword and kneel on the spot.

"Horo horo horo horo..."

Perona covered her mouth with one hand and chuckled softly, watching Crocdale with great interest.

"You're not as scary as you look. From now on, you'll stay by my side..."

“Mind your own business…” Crocdale’s face darkened as she was about to reprimand her, but she noticed that Perona’s body seemed to be trembling slightly.

"Is he still a child...?"

She swallowed back the rebuke that was about to come out and silently followed Perona beside her.

...........

"Awesome!"

A strange roar came from a distance behind him. Sig instinctively turned around and saw hundreds of shark-mouthed, positive-energy-filled grotesque faces. He shuddered and almost got punched by Sengoku.

After looking for a while, he finally realized that the group of strange creatures behind him were actually his subordinates.

"Why are my subordinates' demeanor becoming so strange?"

Sieg was truly puzzled.

Ultimately, however, the true fighting strength of the mountain bandits was inferior to that of the Navy Headquarters, and their numbers were far fewer.

The fact that things are holding up right now is mainly thanks to Stussy, Perona, and Klo...

Time is running out, and it's only a matter of time before the bandits' battle line collapses.

"To be honest, I'm barely able to take care of myself right now, how could I have time to worry about others..."

Sig's heart pounded.

Iruma's dodge ability lasts for 5 minutes, slightly longer than a song, but now it only lasts for one or two minutes at most.

"Sigurd! You dare to be distracted while fighting me?"

The Great Buddha-like Sengoku glared angrily, his body shimmering with golden light, and struck down with a palm towards Sieg from afar.

On his palm, a ring of golden light rippled outwards, containing a destructive power fluctuation.

While Sieg was still pondering a countermeasure, without thinking it over, he subconsciously raised his hand, and a circle of black flames danced around it, meeting Sengoku's golden palm strike.

boom!

When the flames collided with the golden ripples, a strange roar erupted, and the golden ripples in Sengoku's hand slowly dissipated, eventually vanishing into nothingness.

"It's blocked?"

Sig himself was also stunned for a moment, looking at the black flames burning fiercely in his palm.

Sengoku is a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit user (Buddha Form), not a Logia-type, yet Higuma's flames were able to block it...

Looking at the card panel, Sig had consumed about 10 points of Chuunibyou energy to block Sengoku's attack, which was about one-seventh of the total value!

"It's depleting so quickly. Did it just take a normal attack from a Sengoku period character?"

"Although it can block, it can't withstand more than a few moves!"

"Moreover... I can only block Sengoku's shockwaves. Once Sengoku gets close and fights me with hand-to-hand combat, I'll be dead in no time!"

Sig's heart pounded wildly, his blood rushed back to his head, and his mind raced like lightning.

"I must replenish my chuunibyou energy as much as possible!"

After much deliberation, Sieg still couldn't come up with a solution.

Now, thanks to the Emperor Engine, his reaction speed far exceeds his usual speed, but compared to the large group of powerful figures around him, he appears quite ordinary.

Once the Iruma Card expires, even if Tomka is still alive, Sig has no chance of survival.

"Am I really going to die here today?"

The thought crossed Sieg's mind.

While Sieg pondered, Sengoku also frowned and glanced at his dull, lifeless palm.

"It's blocked?"

This made Sengoku even more wary than when Sieg continued his bizarre dodging maneuvers.

In its Warring States Buddha form, its speed wasn't particularly fast, but each strike was powerful enough to shatter mountains and split rocks.

"No, Sig isn't dodging anymore, that's a good thing. Sig's Observation Haki is too powerful, close combat is really troublesome."

Both Sengoku and Sigir pondered the matter and made the same choice.

With a wave of his hand, his previously dim palm emitted an even more dazzling golden light once more, and destructive power brewed within it as his giant palm crashed down like a mountain.

Witnessing this scene, Sieg could only give a cold smile.

"Sengoku! You're forcing me to use forbidden power!"

He felt a pang of grief and indignation, and couldn't help but recall the dark history of his past life.

Faced with Sengoku's attack once again, Sigurd began to form hand seals in front of his chest!

As for why he knows how to form hand seals... he learned it slowly by watching television footage when he was young in his previous life.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

With a roar, Sieg unleashed a massive, black fireball that swelled up in front of him, surging like a tidal wave as it crashed towards Sengoku.

This time, the black fireball and Sengoku's shockwave were annihilated and disappeared at the same time, which looked quite impressive.

"Strange hand gestures... Fire Release?"

The Warring States period became increasingly perplexed.

One blow after another, Sieg abandoned his previous dodging style and actually began to confront Sengoku head-on.

For a moment, golden light and pitch-black flames flashed and then shattered and vanished. At first glance, the battle seemed to be at a stalemate, with the outcome uncertain.

The sudden burst of ferocity from Sig caught the group of people who were preparing to attack him off guard.

"Not only is his Observation Haki so powerful that he can foresee the future, but he can also temporarily hold his own against Admiral Sengoku in a direct confrontation?"

"Sig is actually this powerful?"

This left them stunned for a while.

Admiral Sengoku's strength is beyond doubt, and Higuma's ability to contend with him and hold his own for a short time has overturned the Big Mom Pirates' impression of Higuma.

Only a few people, including Rayleigh and Crocus, showed slight changes in expression and a hint of worry in their eyes after hearing the phrase "forbidden power."

Chapter 323 Unable to Die

"Forbidden power..."

This word immediately reminded Rayleigh of the black flame dragon that Sieg had sealed in his arm.

Considering Sig's consistently bizarre behavior throughout the battle...

Sigurd, a world-renowned swordsman, has yet to draw his sword.

Previously, he relied solely on his Observation Haki and did not retaliate, thus escaping the siege of countless powerful individuals.
