I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

As it turns out, no one would actually follow that ridiculous bet... and Sieg probably knew it too.

So why did he do that?

When Sieg retaliated, he used what he called "forbidden power".

"My previous guess was probably wrong; he wasn't seeking death..."

"Has the Black Flame Dragon's erosion intensified? His condition is worse than I imagined; I'm afraid he'll be unable to use his own power."

Thinking of this, Rayleigh couldn't help but speak up.

"Stop, Sig."

"The more Black Flame Dragon power you use, the more severe the erosion will become. This is not a power that humans can touch."

Rayleigh shouted.

His words caused both the navy and the pirates to pause in surprise.

Rayleigh is no nobody; he's the vice-captain of the Pirate King, a living legend.

Moreover, he once traveled to Laugh Tale with the Pirate King and learned countless secrets.

Such a figure is among the world's best. His words carry weight, and even generals like Sengoku and Big Mom would have to think twice before speaking to him.

"Black Flame Dragon?"

Big Mom, who had been relentlessly attacking Rayleigh, slowed her pace slightly, showing interest, and asked:

"Is this some kind of rare beast? Is it related to Sig?"

“I advise you not to covet the Black Flame Dragon,” Rayleigh said without elaborating.

..........

Rayleigh's words made Sengoku and the others gradually become more cautious.

Only Sieg began to have his own thoughts. He turned around and looked at Gilman among the bandits, giving him a subtle wink.

The latter understood, shifted its form, transforming into a half-Den Den Mushi (snail phone) shape, and then pulled out a stack of papers from its pocket...

Sieg made an important decision.

Just thinking about it is even more agonizing than watching "Invincible" just now...

"It's time for us to settle things once and for all during the Warring States period."

Sig stood in mid-air, his expression indifferent and blank.

He stretched out his left arm and quickly unwrapped the bandages on his hand layer by layer with his other hand.

With each layer unraveled, the black flames emanating from his hands grew even more intense.

At the same time, he was muttering to himself:

"A blacker black than black, a darker darkness than darkness itself"

Let me entrust my true darkness to the black flames.

The time for awakening has come.

"Become an invisible distortion and manifest..."

Amidst the whispers, more and more pitch-black flames surged forth, like rolling waves, and gathered behind Sieg, vaguely forming a dragon shape, embracing Sieg within them and gradually engulfing his entire body.

"Sig... what are you trying to do?"

Zhan Guo's expression was solemn, and golden light shone brightly in his palm as he gathered power, his giant palm slamming down like a mountain.

He had already witnessed the power of Sig's dark flames, so he naturally wouldn't underestimate them.

"Dance, dance, dance!"

Sieg's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his chanting quickened and became more rapid:

"The collapse of the very source of my power"

Unparalleled Honkai Impact

Burning all things in heaven and earth to ashes.

"Descent from the abyss!"

Sig stretched out his hands, and the vast, boundless black flames surrounding him seemed to be drawn together by a terrifying suction force, converging between his palms.

Bang bang bang bang!

With the roar of the Emperor's engine, Sieg's momentum surged once more, continuously accumulating power.

"Secret Technique! Infernal Unparalleled Overheat Wave Cannon!"

With that roar, Sieg pushed his palms outwards, and the powerful and vast black flames erupted in his palms like a vast ocean!

boom!

Amidst a deafening roar, the dazzling golden light in Sengoku's hand collided with the eerie sea of ​​black flames, sending shockwaves soaring into the sky.

Everyone on the battlefield paled and turned to look.

But then a giant Buddha statue appeared, its five fingers like mountains gleaming with brilliant golden light, about to suppress the rolling black demonic flames below.

It resembled a scene of a giant Buddha suppressing demons.

But Sieg felt a sense of anticipation.

With this attack, he had used up almost all his youthful energy; now it was time to exit the stage...

His idea was to pretend to be defeated by the Warring States period and then fake his death and be reborn.

At this moment, he was enveloped in black flames, as if he were swallowed by an abyss, and his figure was no longer visible.

Sig stretched out his hand, and the self-destructive sword materialized in his palm.

However, because his body was obscured by black flames, his movements were not visible to outsiders.

...........

In a corner of the battlefield, the bandits watched with bated breath as Sig and Sengoku clashed.

Among the crowd, the bald man gazed at Sig's figure, which seemed to be mostly consumed by black flames, and sighed with a sense of unease.

“We...can no longer let Boss Sig bear this burden alone.”

The other bandits hesitated for a moment, then advised:

"However, our strength is too weak to intervene in a battle of this level."

"We can't even get close to the battlefield."

“We really can’t get involved.” The bald man nodded silently.

"However, there might be hope to cause some disruption."

With a thought, he used the power of the Whisper Fruit to quietly transmit voices from the depths of his heart.

Target... Sengoku!

At this moment, Sengoku, who was concentrating intently and pressing down on Sig with one hand, suddenly felt a series of strange noises rising in his mind.

There were sounds like fingernails scratching a blackboard, a woman screaming, a child crying, and the screech of bicycle brakes...

Sengoku, who was about to suppress Sig with one hand, lost his focus for a moment, and the golden light in his palm froze slightly.

Instantly, the previously evenly matched situation was broken, and surging black flames shot into the sky, seemingly breaking through the golden light in his palm and threatening to completely engulf him.

This scene stunned everyone present, leaving them almost speechless.

"It seems that General Sengoku is at a disadvantage?"

"How is this possible? Sig's strength has suddenly increased?"

"Is this what he meant by forbidden power?"

Countless shocked gazes were fixed on Sieg, who was surrounded by black flames.

But no one knew that his shock and confusion were no less than theirs. He stared at the Warring States period, which was about to be engulfed by black flames, and his hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"Why did Sengoku suddenly mess up? Wait! My flames can't harm Sengoku's physical form..."

"So, isn't it going to expose the fact that my abilities are just for show?"

For a moment, Sieg's heart pounded like a drum.

Chapter 324 The Death of the Mountain Bandit King

For a moment, everyone's eyes on the battlefield were focused on Sengoku, who was about to be engulfed by black flames.

The Warring States period transformed into a giant Buddha, its height comparable to that of a giant, its body radiating golden light, majestic and powerful, but in an instant, its entire body was completely engulfed by the surging black flames.

"this..."

"A great general of the Warring States period!"

"This is Sig's signature move... the Hellfire Inferno Wave Cannon? Even Admiral Sengoku couldn't stop it?"

"Speaking of which, Sig seems to have used this move before, and it was even reported in the newspaper. It is said that below the rank of general, not even a trace is left."

Amidst the murmurs, Charl Marco, a Celestial Dragon watching from afar, involuntarily shuddered, his face turning ashen.

In the shadows, Blackbeard gritted his teeth, his anxiety and anger threatening to consume him.

"There's no mistake, this must be my Dark-Dark Fruit... Sig has become this powerful thanks to my Dark-Dark Fruit!"

"What Black Flame Dragon? It's just a way to conceal the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit!"

Thinking of his experience of being pursued by Sengoku not long ago, Blackbeard's face grew even more gloomy.

.........

Where everyone's eyes are looking.

The raging black flames swept past like the wind, and the Warring States period body, transformed into a giant Buddha, reappeared.

He was still radiating golden light, and there wasn't a trace of burning on his body, as if the flames he had just been burning were just an illusion.

"Huh? What just happened?"
