I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

He made a crucial decision, essentially walking into a trap, which could cost him his last chance.

But facing two formidable opponents... Sieg had no other options.

He could only make one last gamble, hoping that Zefa had a kind heart and wouldn't disregard human life.

And so... Sieg began his performance.

He glanced at Ain first, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

Then he gave a bitter laugh and hung the other side of the handcuffs that were hanging in the air on his left wrist.

With a click.

Sig willingly handcuffed himself completely, surrendering without resistance.

"Sig, what are you doing?"

Zefa was still trying to decipher the handwriting when he saw Sieg's action and looked completely bewildered.

Sieg gave a bitter smile:

“My lords, I, Rikuma, am just an ordinary bounty hunter, powerless to resist.”

"You seem to need me as a scapegoat, don't you?" Sig smiled, his eyes not on Sengoku or Zephyr, but on Ain with a hint of reluctance.

"I hope you will treat Ain well."

Instead, Sieg wore a carefree smile, his eyes firm yet warm, as if he were a righteous man going to his death.

"Alright, I'm surrendering."

"You can kill me now."

These words were spoken in a calm tone, yet they carried a powerful weight.

Ain's expression tightened, she covered her mouth, tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran over to hug Sieg's leg.

This scene resembles Sengoku and Zephyr forcing an old father to his death in front of their ten-year-old daughter.

This act of bravely facing death moved Zefa deeply.

Only the Warring States period remained solemn.

Whether Sig lives or dies has a huge impact... No matter how much Higuma says in front of him, Sengoku will not easily give up his doubts.

"You're so eloquent, I was hoping you'd admit it on your own... but it seems we've come to this point. I'll have to use a special method that only I can use to confirm it."

Zhan Guo spoke calmly.

He clenched his fists, his eyes widened, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from him!

Conqueror's Haki!

Marine Admiral Sengoku is the only person in the entire Marine Corps to possess Conqueror's Haki! This is a small trick that only he can pull off!

"Sig, a strong person is like a lion. No matter how well you disguise yourself or how impeccable your words are, you can never turn into a real sick cat!"

Zhan Guo shouted loudly, his eyes blazing, about to continue speaking.

But then he saw Sieg's pupils gradually dilate, and he collapsed.

Chapter 363 Hero KING

In the living room.

Before Zhan Guo could finish his righteous and awe-inspiring words, he saw Sig collapse headfirst.

He...he fell down?

Sengoku and Zefa stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became very strange and awkward.

what happened?

This isn't what we agreed on!

Sengoku and Zephyr were completely bewildered; they had never expected things to unfold this way.

The two elderly people in their sixties could only help Sig up from the ground and let him lie down on the sofa in the living room.

Then, a long silence followed.

The strategist Zhan Guo is now starting to question the meaning of life.

As he said, it is difficult for the strong to pretend to be weak.

In this context, the domineering aura of Conqueror's Haki actually became a marker for strategists to test the strength of warriors during the Warring States period.

Only those far weaker than those of the Warring States period could be stunned by Conqueror's Haki.

Well known.

Sigurd is extremely skilled in Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki. The former seems to have reached the level of predicting the future, while the latter has reached an unprecedented level of having its own sound effects.

Sengoku's original intention was to force a clash of Conqueror's Haki with Sigurd through Conqueror's Haki, and then join forces with Zephyr to take down Sigurd as quickly as possible.

But now...

"Higuma wasn't lying?"

"Is he really just a former naval warrant officer?"

Such thoughts also arose in the mind of the Warring States period.

At this moment, it was only then that Ian, who was standing next to her, realized what was happening.

Marine Admiral Sengoku the Buddha has long since mastered Conqueror's Haki to the point of complete control.

Although he used Conqueror's Haki, it only affected Sigurd; Ain and Zephyr were unaffected.

Ain wasn't affected, but because it happened so suddenly, she, being a child, was a little caught off guard.

This is how Ain saw what just happened.

Sig willingly handcuffed himself: You can kill me now.

Sengoku glared and launched an attack in some way, and then Sig fell down.

"Uncle Rikuma, is he dead?"

Ain's pupils trembled, and tears streamed down her face again. She shook Sieg's body hard, but found that he did not respond.

"Don't die..."

Ain's voice trembled with tears.

Sig brought her from the remote Char Island to the Sabaody Archipelago, sheltering her more than once along the way and helping her overcome her fear of Devil Fruit powers... For this child who was just over ten years old, Sig already held a very special place in her heart.

Thinking of Sieg's last words, Ain's tears flowed even more profusely.

"Don't die... Dad."

Ain's cries struck Zephyr's heart like a series of heavy hammer blows.

Especially the last line, "Dad."

"Little guy, Sun Bear isn't dead..."

Zefa forced a kind smile and reached out to comfort Ain, but the latter pushed his hand away.

Now, Zephyr couldn't save face either.

His eyes widened, his anger flaring, then he turned his head... and glared fiercely at Sengoku:

"Warring States, look at yourself! Is this something a human being would do?"

"I...I..." Zhan Guo stammered for a long time, his previous decisiveness completely gone.

The two admirals were at a loss when faced with a child crying and screaming over the body of his deceased father.

After a long while, Zhan Guo also sighed.

"In this matter, I was indeed wrong."

............

After a while.

"Are you awake?"

When Sieg opened his eyes, he saw Sengoku's old face with a sheepish grin, his braided beard almost touching his face.

"Again?"

Sig suppressed the urge to reach into his pants, took a deep breath, and sat up from the sofa.

He blinked in confusion, then looked down and saw that the sea stone handcuffs on his hands had been removed at some point, and his clothes on his chest seemed to be soaked with some liquid.

What just happened?

Zephyr and Sengoku both wore apologetic smiles, while Ain still had tear stains on her face.

"Hey, Uncle, you're really still alive...!"

Seeing that Sig had woken up again, Ain hesitated for a moment before changing her words.

“I…” Sig’s expression was still somewhat confused, but gradually became serious.

He probably remembered what had just happened.

Sengoku used Conqueror's Haki! It dealt him a massive mental shock, causing him to faint instantly.

"Higuma, I must apologize to you. I was indeed in the wrong just now."

Zhan Guo looked serious and very honestly bowed his head in apology.

One yard owned by a yard.

Just now, Sengoku mistook the Higuma in front of him for Sig.

Now, through the detection of Conqueror's Haki, Sengoku has learned that... Higuma could absolutely not be Higuma.

“Yes, it’s all the Warring States’ fault,” Zephyr chimed in from the side.

"The Warring States period was too suspicious; they actually treated you as if you were already dead."

"Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been cleared up now, hehe...hahaha..."
