I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Something really happened." That was the only conclusion he could draw.

The bald man looked at the bandits in front of him, who were still sweating profusely, and sighed slightly.

Marine Admiral Zephyr led a team of Shichibukai to encircle and annihilate Higuma. With such a force, what could the small number of men remaining in the Devil's Triangle possibly accomplish?

Three months is too short a time. Even if he was once a naval instructor, he could not train these bandits from the East China Sea into elites in such a short period of time.

"Isn't this just like back in the East China Sea? I can't keep up with the boss at all!"

The bald man gave a slight, wry smile.

But suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

He turned around and looked into the depths of the perpetually shrouded mist.

Above the sea, a faint gaze seemed to pierce through the thick white fog and lock onto him.

"Would you like to go for a walk, Xiao Ke?"

The bald man gazed into the depths of the mist and sent out this thought.

Deep in the mist.

The sound of the waves gradually grew louder, rolling like thunder, and the thick fog rose and fell with it.

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

Waters near Jianshan Island.

Zephyr's training ship had been lying in wait in the vicinity for several days, keeping a close watch on the pirate fleet in the distance.

The training ship was not originally intended for reconnaissance purposes, but Zephyr was a seasoned admiral with extensive experience. He had been lying in wait in the vicinity for a long time and was completely undetected by the enemy.

"Admiral Zephyr, several Shichibukai reinforcements are arriving soon."

"Vice Admiral Momonga and the Pirate Empress's reinforcements have arrived..."

Zefa stood at the bow of the ship, looking into the distance through binoculars. He could already see two ships behind him.

One was the flying squirrel's warship, and the other was the pirate empress's ship.

"The Pirate Empress has arrived..."

"So young..."

Witnessing Hancock's beauty, a commotion arose on the training ship, causing Hancock to raise her chin even higher, becoming even more arrogant.

At the same time, Zephyr suddenly sensed something, frowned, and looked through his binoculars towards the sea area near Sword Mountain Island.

For some unknown reason, a large ship suddenly appeared there, with a pattern of five dots connected by a cross on its huge sail.

This is a ship belonging to the World Government.

Chapter 429 Celestial Dragons Enter the Battlefield

The appearance of the Pirate Empress caused a commotion on Zephyr's training ship, with many people clinging to the railings and peering out.

"The 19-year-old Pirate Empress..."

Sig glanced at it too, and his eyes lit up, but he instinctively stepped back.

For Sieg, there are two kinds of strong people in this world.

Those who can curry favor with powerful figures, and those who can't.

Clearly, Empress Hancock is not someone Siegfried could rely on.

Her abilities are too troublesome, and her personality is too dangerous. It's estimated that whether it's the bandit king Higuma or the Marine Captain Higuma, Hancock will take action when necessary and will never compromise.

While the navy's attention was drawn to the Empress's appearance.

"What's going on? Whose boat is that?"

At the bow of the ship, Admiral Zephyr frowned, holding binoculars and looking ahead.

The location of the ship belonging to the World Government was quite subtle, situated precisely between the island where the pirates' lair was located and Zephyr's training ship.

The World Government ships were quite large and conspicuous. Zephyr could even see the small island in the distance. The pirates stirred with excitement, clearly having noticed the commotion.

"Which reinforcement unit disobeyed orders and acted without authorization? This has exposed our operation!"

Zefa asked, frowning.

The large ship bore a prominent World Government insignia, which Zephyr believed likely belonged to the CP organization under the World Government.

But the subordinates were equally confused:

"General Zephyr...this does not seem to be our reinforcements."

"We have received absolutely no information that we are being supported by other forces of the World Government!"

Zephyr's brow furrowed even deeper; this was completely outside his plans.

He ordered the training ship to approach and instructed his men to use flag signals to try and communicate with the other side.

But then, Zefa spotted a conspicuous figure on the deck of the ship in the distance.

The person was somewhat overweight, wearing a white outfit similar to an aircraft suit, and had a transparent bubble shield on his head.

"Celestial Dragons!"

Zefa's expression immediately changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Behind the naval warship, Empress Hancock also witnessed this scene. Her pretty face paled slightly, and she subconsciously looked away.

Although Hancock was already a renowned Pirate Empress at this time, she was still young, and seeing the Celestial Dragons always brought back memories of her past experiences...

.......

On the Celestial Dragons' ships.

Celestial Dragon Saint Musgard was staring at the surrounding ships with a dark expression.

On one side were several pirate ships approaching, and on the other side were several naval warships.

"What's going on? It looks like we've stumbled into a battlefield!"

"My order is to take the fastest route to Fishman Island, are you all stupid?"

Musgarud realized something was wrong. He pulled out a golden pistol from his pocket and shot the man in the black suit next to him in the leg, causing the latter to kneel on one knee.

"Wasn't it you who arbitrarily changed the course and insisted on taking a straight route? This is the Grand Line, how could it possibly be a straight line?"

The man in the black suit thought to himself, but dared not say it aloud, kneeling on the ground without uttering a word.

Meanwhile, the pirate ship on the other side was getting closer and closer.

Saint Musgard stood on the other side of the deck. Due to the limited field of vision, the pirates seemed unaware of the Celestial Dragons' presence and were still trying to take advantage of the situation to plunder.

He completely disregarded the group of pirates.

Putting aside the presence of the Marines, almost every pirate in the world who dares to attack a Celestial Dragon is already dead. As a Celestial Dragon, wherever Saint Musgard goes, all the people must kneel down; no one will show him any disrespect.

Even if they occasionally encounter pirate ships at sea, the pirates will generally avoid them.

But Zefa's expression immediately tensed up.

The pirate opposite us now is none other than Higuma, the king of the mountain pirates at sea. He became famous for repeatedly attacking the Celestial Dragons!

Other pirates dare not touch the Celestial Dragons, so why wouldn't Higuma? Who believes that?

"There's no time to wait for other reinforcements, launch an immediate attack! Protect the Celestial Dragons' ships!"

Zefa's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.

At his command, the training ship immediately sped off, bypassing the Celestial Dragons' ships from the side in an attempt to intercept the pirate ships.

One after another, figures dressed in naval uniforms leaped high into the air and launched an attack on the pirate ships.

Zephyr also took the lead, choosing the largest pirate ship in the pirate fleet.

"Sig himself should be on this ship..."

"Damn it, our attack was too hasty this time, and our original strategy has been completely disrupted... I can't stand guard either, I have to hold Sieg back first."

Zephyr used Moonwalk to dash through the air and landed on the largest pirate ship, where the battle began.

Sig glanced in Zephyr's direction, his gaze finally settling on an ordinary medium-sized pirate ship.

His thinking was the same as Zephyr's.

"That largest ship is probably where the captain of these pirates is. Even though it's a fake, it's enough to get the Navy to summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea and make such a big commotion... Maybe some powerful figure is behind this. I need to be on the safe side."

Sig glanced at the pirate ship in the distance, judged the distance, took a few steps back, then accelerated, rushed forward, stepped on the railing with his toes and leaped into the air, covering a distance of more than ten meters, and landed on the opposite pirate ship.

"I want military merit, I want to perform well, I want to graduate..."

Sig muttered to himself as he raised his fist and charged at the pirates in front of him.

To the left front, a burly pirate wielding a giant axe came at him, but Sieg dodged it with a sidestep and simultaneously threw a punch at the burly pirate's face.

Bang!

The burly pirate's face was dented several inches from the punch, and his body flew backward and hung on the wall as if hit by a high-speed truck, causing several cracks to appear on the wall.

Seeing this, Sieg lowered his head and glanced at his fist.

If Fat Tiger's abilities reach 100%, he can bring a full 6 tons of punching power to Sigurd.

Sig's compatibility with the Fat Tiger card has now reached 68%, and combined with the strength he has gained through training, his punches are quite powerful.

Sieg's eyes lit up, and his mood improved slightly.

"My hard work and diligent practice over the past three months have not been in vain."

"It seems that people should be down-to-earth and work hard to cultivate themselves and become stronger. This is the right path."

Sieg felt a deep sense of satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wild smile.

"Have I become this strong without even realizing it?"

Chapter 430 Cows

With Zephyr's command, the training ship and Vice Admiral Momonga's warships advanced side by side, intercepting the pirate ships, and a chaotic battle in the coastal area had begun.
