I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Even when no one is around, as an award-winning actor, Siegfried must always play his role well, be ready to get into character at any time, and not give anything away, instead of being lax in private.

Sieg smiled slightly, quite pleased with himself.

And the next moment.

But he heard a whooshing sound from afar, and a figure hurtled through the air like a cannonball, its sharp gaze falling on him like a dagger.

It was none other than General Zephyr, the commander of the headquarters who had launched a surprise attack from below!

Sig: ......

Holy crap?

This isn't the script we agreed on!

Did they hear what I just said? Is it going to be revealed that I'm still alive?

At this moment, Sieg was completely stiff, his thoughts a jumbled mess.

"Sig?"

General Zephyr stared wide-eyed at him, stopping in mid-air with his feet on the Moon Step, his brows furrowed deeply, barely able to conceal his inner shock!

Sig, a man who was supposed to be dead, has actually appeared on the Golden Lion's Sky Island!

Thinking of the so-called Angel Fruit, Zephyr immediately became wary.

Sieg is definitely not a simple man!

Zephyr had never met Sig in person, but he had heard Sengoku, Garp and others talk about it many times, and he was well aware of the truth about the Sabaody Archipelago war.

Zephyr was in poor condition at the moment, with serious injuries, and his combat power was far less than usual.

Thinking back to what Sieg had just said... Zephyr immediately became serious.

Things are becoming increasingly confusing!

The two sides faced off for a moment.

Then, Zephyr saw that Sieg completely ignored him, as if he hadn't seen him at all, and walked directly from the balcony back into the house, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

Chapter 405 You thought it was Sig? Actually, it's me, Black Flame Dragon!

"call...."

Sig leaned against the door and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Zefa... It was precisely under these circumstances that I suddenly met Zefa.

To be honest, there was indeed a simple script between Sig and Shiki the Golden Lion.

This script will concern how Navy Lieutenant Higuma returns to the Navy...

But this scene is definitely not in the script, and Sieg was not prepared at all!

Now... what do we do?

Sieg only knew one thing.

Sig must die!

The fact that the pirate king Sig is still alive is not as simple as just having his bounty reappear.

It's worth noting that Higuma faked his death and escaped right under the noses of two Yonko, a Marine Admiral, and numerous other powerful figures.

If this is confirmed, then no matter how Sig changes his identity in the future, he will likely be unable to escape the Navy's pursuit... unless he never uses the abilities of cards like the KING Card or the Chuunibyou Card.

Being exposed to the Navy is a completely different concept from being exposed to the Golden Lion.

Sieg racked his brains for a solution.

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

at the same time.

General Zephyr, standing outside the balcony, was also filled with suspicion.

What does Sieg mean? Pretend you didn't see him?

"Does that mean he's fearless? He's not afraid of me at all?"

Zefa gazed at the pavilion where Sig was, his heart growing increasingly wary.

He moved with lightning speed, his feet treading the moon, and in a few moments he reached the balcony, pushing the door open.

When he saw the scene inside the room, he was stunned.

There were two people inside the house.

One was Higuma, the former pirate king of the seas, and the other was Higuma, the naval lieutenant who was kidnapped by Shiki.

At this moment, ominous black flames swirled around Sieg, and he stretched out his palm, with five black flames blooming from the tips of his five fingers.

"Five Elements Seal!" Sig whispered.

Sig curled his five fingers and pressed them against the Sun Bear's abdomen. The black flames that bloomed on his fingertips trembled, as if they had disappeared into the Sun Bear's body.

"Sun Bear? Sig, what are you doing?"

Zefa's eyes widened in fury as he shouted sternly.

He didn't quite understand what was happening, but he felt it was inappropriate and wanted to stop it.

He took a step forward, about to clench his fist and charge, but saw that Sieg's other hand was pressed on the back of Higuma's head, clearly treating the latter as a hostage.

Zefa gritted his teeth and could only stop his attack, withdrawing his fist and standing still.

“Sieg, you really are still alive…” Zephyr said through gritted teeth.

Seeing this, Sieg breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was Zefa who came.

Taking a mere naval lieutenant hostage in exchange for other hardline admirals would probably be of little use.

To be precise.

At that moment, Sieg quickly changed into the Sun Bear skin.

Sig, surrounded by black flames, is the shadow clone.

"You're wrong, Sig is dead." Sig, surrounded by black flames, said calmly, his voice cold and low.

"His body and soul have long been devoured by me, and now only a few echoes remain."

The black flames on Sig moved closer, covering most of his body, like a suit of armor made of black flames. Two wisps of flame rose from his forehead, vaguely resembling dragon horns.

At this moment, Sig's tone was sinister, and coupled with the unusual shape of the flames around him, he really didn't look human. Instead, he reminded Zephyr of the beast-man form of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user.

However, given his formidable presence and the fear of harming others, Zefa dared not act rashly.

"What are you talking about? If Sig is dead, then who are you?"

Zephyr's eyes flickered, and he continued speaking in the same vein as Sieg.

"After all these years, have people forgotten my name?"

The shadow clone Sig cackled, the black flames on its body burning even more intensely.

In his eyes, it seemed as if two jet-black flames suddenly ignited:

"Standing before you is the first immortal ancient dragon, ruler of the bottomless abyss, world-devourer, the destroyer of destiny, the terminator of all things, the dragon of twilight and the end, Nidhogg who devours darkness..."

As he spoke, two enormous wings made of pitch-black flames unfurled behind him, intensifying the ominous and eerie aura.

This series of titles left Zefa completely bewildered.

Not only Zephyr, but Sieg himself was also completely shocked.

Well...

Seeing his shadow clone spouting incredibly embarrassing and cringeworthy lines, Sigurd was so awkward he could practically crawl on the ground with his toes.

If Zephyr hadn't been there, Sieg would have loved to smash the shadow clone's head open with his own hands.

This shadow clone seems a bit off...

The shadow clone's personality is the same as Sig's, but it possesses a consciousness independent of Sig.

It's true that having the shadow clone impersonate the Black Flame Dragon was Sig's idea, but now it seems that the shadow clone went a bit too far.

"cough."

Sieg cleared his throat, straightened up, and explained:

"General Zephyr, he is probably not Sig, but... the Black Flame Dragon!"

"Black Flame Dragon?"

Zefa looked puzzled, but then he flashed and, taking advantage of the moment when the shadow clone Sig was reciting the title, grabbed Sig and protected him behind him, confronting the shadow clone Sig from a distance.

"Are you alright, Sun Bear?" Zephyr asked with concern.

Sig did not respond; instead, the Black Flame Dragon Sig cackled:

"Too late, humankind."

"I have already placed the Five Elements Seal on him. From today onwards, he is my Black Flame Dragon's pillar of strength, and he is already the vessel of my power."

“One day, his body and soul will be completely devoured by the dark flames from the abyss and become my food.”

Zefa's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Playing tricks. Does Sieg think I'm crazy, or is he the one who's crazy?"

Zefa had never seen Sig in person before; he only knew about the Black Flame Dragon through hearsay.

The Black Flame Dragon Sig exuded an extraordinary aura, but Zefa's doubts remained.

Despite this, Zephyr did not act rashly.

Regardless of whether Sieg is crazy or not, his strength certainly warrants serious consideration from Zeff, who is currently severely injured.

With a thought in mind, Zefa did not rush to act, but asked again:

"Black Flame Dragon? If you're not Sig, why are you using Sig's face?"
