I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"As far as I know, Sig possessed the same ability to manipulate black flames as you did back then."

These words seemed to enrage the Black Flame Dragon, and two black flames burned fiercely in his eyes:

“Sigurd is nothing but a petty thief who stole my power and authority; I have devoured him body and soul.”

"My true form is too dark for mortals to look at directly; this body I am in now is merely the remnant of the former Sig."

“Nonsense.” Zefa didn’t believe it at all. He secretly glanced back at Sig, whom he was protecting behind him. Seeing that Sig was not acting strangely, he immediately took a step forward.

"shave!"

Zefa instantly stomped the ground repeatedly, his figure disappearing from the spot and appearing behind the Black Flame Dragon Sig.

Chapter 406 Black Flame Dragon and Sun Bear

Without wasting any more words with the Black Flame Dragon Sig, Zephyr activated Shave, instantly appearing behind Sig.

However, what made him feel uneasy was that the Black Flame Dragon Sig raised the corners of his mouth as if he were sneering, ignoring his approach and showing no intention of avoiding or blocking him.

"You weak mortal, you cannot even touch the slightest bit of my essence."

Zefa's heart tightened, but he ignored what the Black Flame Dragon Sig had said and suddenly threw a punch. His fist went straight into Sig's chest from behind, and the violent force of the punch even caused the wall to be completely overturned.

Pong!

The body of the Black Flame Dragon Sig dissipated and turned into a cloud of smoke.

Zefa frowned even more deeply. He withdrew his fist, staring blankly at it, somewhat bewildered by the situation.

Sigurd's shadow clones possessed physical form, and he genuinely felt the sensation of striking something.

But it seems completely useless?

However, a sudden change occurred shortly afterward.

The black flames surrounding the shadow clone Sig regrouped, now vaguely resembling a human form with flaming dragon horns on its head and huge black wings spreading behind it.

This was a figure made entirely of black flames, with a mocking smile made of flames even faintly visible on his face.

Zefa was shocked. He dared not be careless at all. Instead of stopping, he quickened his pace. His hands were covered with black Armament Haki, and his fists rained down like a dense storm.

But something even stranger happened.

Zefa's fist actually passed straight through the figure formed by black flames, as if he had punched the air, without any sense of force.

The black flames remained unchanged, only the faint, mocking smile on the figure's face widened slightly.

He just stood there, not moving an inch, as Zefa's fists passed right through him countless times.

"What happened? How is this possible?"

"My fist cannot touch his physical form?"

"This is like the elemental transformation of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, but how is this possible? I clearly used Armament Haki!"

Zefa was shocked; he could hardly believe it.

Armament Haki can grasp the physical form of Logia-type Devil Fruit users, but it was ineffective against the Black Flame Dragon, Sigurd.

His attacks were completely ineffective against the black flames!

Was Zephyr's Observation Haki not strong enough? Before Zephyr could hit him, Sig the Black Flame Dragon had already transformed his body into an elemental form to avoid Zephyr's attack?

That's impossible.

Even though he was seriously injured, Zephyr was still one of the top physical fighters in the Navy, and he was proficient in Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Whether Zefa's fist hit the dark flame or not, he could certainly tell for himself.

Sig the Black Flame Dragon stood there, letting Zefa attack relentlessly for more than half a minute before he began to lose patience.

He turned around and his gaze fell on Sig on the other side of the house.

Black Flame Dragon Sig didn't speak, but slowly took a step towards Sig, seemingly casually.

But this very step caused a slight look of pain to appear on Sig's face, who was more than ten meters away. Wisps of black flames gradually emerged from his body, echoing the Black Flame Dragon Sig.

Zefa's expression changed drastically.

His offensive suddenly accelerated, each punch delivered with tremendous force, piercing through the flames and shadows, the gusts of wind from his punches nearly overturning the small building.

However, this still didn't work.

He could only watch helplessly as the fiery black shadow casually strode away.

One step, another step.

With each step he took, the wispy black flames on Sig's body would expand slightly.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger.

Sieg gritted his teeth. He didn't show any signs of pain, but his chest heaved slightly as he breathed heavily.

"Do you want to corrupt me?"

Sieg opened his mouth and managed two strained laughs, his gaze resolute:

"I wanted to be a hero who protects the world in my own way, how could I fall here?"

Zefa paused slightly.

A familiar sense of powerlessness welled up inside him.

Zephyr is already a Marine Admiral, with formidable strength and unwavering resolve. Despite countless criticisms, he adheres to his principles of justice, upholds the principle of not killing, and fears no powerful enemy.

But in the face of this fiery black shadow, it had no ability to even affect the other party.

This reminded him of certain things from the past...

Zephyr gritted his teeth and finally changed his strategy.

"shave!"

His figure vanished quickly, he grabbed Sig's main body, and then used Moon Step to leap into the air, running away into the distance at top speed.

As he ran away, Zefa glanced back warily at the location of the attic.

The black figure remained standing still, without moving, but still wore that faint mocking smile on its face.

It seems to be mocking Zephyr's powerlessness.

With a flap of its black wings made of flames, the fiery shadow soared into the air, flying out from the gap in the wall created by the fist's force and heading straight for the sky.

The shadowy figure did not chase after Zefa, but quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Zefa stopped what he was doing, standing on the ground with a hint of frustration. He put Sig down and watched the black flame dragon Sig disappear into the horizon, his gaze complex.

He took a slight breath.

If he continues playing like this, his confidence will be completely eroded.

A dignified admiral, the highest combat power in the navy, had been relentlessly attacking the Black Flame Dragon Sig for half a day, but the opponent didn't react at all.

"Abnormal, extremely abnormal, is that person really Black Flame Dragon?"

Zefa was initially convinced that Sieg himself was playing tricks, but now he had some doubts.

The key point is that the abilities displayed by the Black Flame Dragon Sig are far too bizarre.

According to internal Navy data, Higuma, the pirate king of the sea, is indeed very strong, but not to such an extraordinary degree.

However, the situation was urgent, so Zephyr had to put the matter aside. He first checked Sig's condition briefly, and then prepared to leave with him.

"Sun Bear, what happened on the island of Golden Lion? Tell me everything."

Zefa looked at Sieg and said seriously.

So Sieg delivered the speech he had prepared beforehand.

According to him, Shiki the Golden Lion brought him to the Sky Island because he wanted to recruit him as a subordinate.

The generous and easygoing Golden Lion did not imprison Sigurd, but instead gave him a certain degree of freedom to walk within the sky island and try to subdue him.

As for the mysterious figure who calls himself the Black Flame Dragon... Sig says he doesn't know much about him.

Black Flame Dragon had just appeared suddenly in the form of Sig and subdued Himi Bear in one fell swoop.

As for specific details, such as whether the Sea Mountain Bandit King is still alive, and where the Black Flame Dragon came from... Sig knew nothing about them.

Chapter 407 One More Song

The truth Sieg told him did nothing to unravel the mystery in Zephyr's heart; on the contrary, it deepened his doubts.

However, given the urgency of the situation, Zephyr didn't dwell on the details and prepared to retreat immediately.

Along the way, there were some of the Golden Lion's men who tried to stop them.

However, even though Zephyr was seriously injured, his body was still quite agile and flexible. He easily broke through the encirclement and brought Sig to the edge of the Sky Island.

Soon, the two arrived at the edge of the sky island.

At this point, the battle between Shiki and the Navy had reached a fever pitch.

Golden Lion Shiki, all alone, was locked in a fierce battle with Admiral Sengoku, his figure weaving back and forth among the naval ranks.

The Golden Lion's speed is not actually extremely fast, but it is quite agile, moving through the air and changing direction with ease, completely unaffected by gravity.

This means that he can dodge attacks in all sorts of unbelievable ways, making him quite troublesome.

He didn't seem to be determined to fight; he was simply getting used to this new fighting style.

He regained his dual swords, regained his legs, and with the addition of a four-sword style and the development of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit's power...

Although Sengoku was strong, his attacks mostly missed, and he barely hit the Golden Lion.

Hawkeye seemed to have become stronger than before, but he seemed to have no intention of helping the Navy besiege Shiki. After exchanging blows with Shiki, he only occasionally unleashed a sword light.

A ding sound.

Surrounded by enemies, the Golden Lion planted one foot on the ground and used the other to kick at Aokiji, who was standing in front of him. Aokiji, however, breathed on the ground and blocked the kick with an ice sword in his hand.

The golden lion was slightly surprised, glanced at Aokiji, and suddenly said:

"I remember you. You were that Marine who always followed Garp around..."
