I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

At this moment, Sieg didn't take Hancock seriously at all. He just looked at Hancock calmly, without any desire or evil thoughts in his eyes.

It was like looking at a stone on the roadside, without any ripples.

Hancock could read the calm in Sieg's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat again.

Sig's expression wasn't feigned; Sig truly wasn't interested in her!

This is why the power of the Love-Love Fruit failed!

.........

Under another palm tree, Crocdale watched this scene from afar, a look of surprise in her eyes.

She didn't realize when Sieg's shadow clone appeared, and Sieg's behavior was quite surprising to her.

"Compared to Sig, the 19-year-old Pirate Empress is still too young; she only looks mature."

Crocdale gave a cold laugh.

She witnessed the whole thing from the shadows. Sig had been petrified before, but after escaping through some unknown technique, he became completely immune to Hancock's petrification.

Nineteen-year-old Hancock didn't understand, but Crocdale, with her extraordinary experience, understood after only a moment's thought.

Chapter 455 A person who has just finished charging speaks with confidence.

Crocodile and Hancock are both Shichibukai, but their ages and experiences are worlds apart.

What Hancock couldn't understand, Crocdale saw very clearly.

"Hmph. Sig just secretly manipulated things a little in the shadows, and now he's in sage mode? Acting all high and mighty..."

As the saying goes, before the deed, one is as lustful as a demon; after the deed, one is as holy as a

Beforehand, Sig was petrified without any resistance; afterwards, Sig had already disregarded the Empress's abilities.

Higuma's aura is overwhelming right now, and with his powerful Conqueror's Haki, he has already completely crushed the Empress in terms of sheer presence, even without making a move.

"To come up with such a bottomless method to crack the Sweet-Sweet Fruit, Sigurd, you're quite something."

"However, isn't it a bit too fast?"

The thought crossed Crocdale's mind.

The time interval between Sig disappearing through the strange smoke and being discovered and attacked by Hancock was only about a minute.

Sig's ability to enter a state of enlightenment in such a short time and speak so confidently in front of Hancock made Crocodile frown slightly.

"Ha, men."

She suddenly felt an urge to rush over immediately, find evidence of Sieg's crimes, and expose the truth.

However, in the end, she restrained herself and continued to observe secretly.

Meanwhile, Hancock, after suffering a major blow, has finally calmed down.

“Hancock, we are not enemies. We can sit down and talk about what just happened,” Sieg tried to explain.

But those words were like a spark that instantly ignited the powder keg in Hancock's heart.

The failure of the Devil Fruit ability is certainly a huge blow, but... the matter of the Sky Dragon's Hoof is more important, and there is no room for maneuver.

Even if the man in front of her was the unfathomable Sieg, Hancock was determined to fight.

She moved swiftly and rushed towards Sieg.

Since her Devil Fruit powers were ineffective, she decided to use physical skills combined with Haki to engage in close combat with Sigurd.

However, Sieg was also quite alert, and the moment Hancock made a move, Sieg decisively shouted:

"Pirate Empress! Don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!"

"Are you really forcing me to use my real killer move? You'll regret it."

Sieg shouted decisively, his eyes widening, his expression serious.

Coupled with the subtle, oppressive sound of the Emperor's engine, its imposing presence is truly remarkable.

These words struck Hancock like an electric shock, forcing her to stop in her tracks once again.

"you...."

Empress Hancock seemed completely overwhelmed by Sieg's aura, her eyes fixed on him with a complex expression.

This gave Sieg a slight sense of reassurance.

"Looks like I'm still got it all; I managed to intimidate the Pirate Empress just by relying on my acting skills and presence..."

Just as Sieg was feeling quite pleased with himself, Hancock's next move completely stunned him.

Hancock gritted her teeth, and for the first time, her usually aloof demeanor revealed a mixture of shame and anger.

She reached behind her to cover her buttocks with one hand, and carefully pulled at her skirt with the other, looking at Sieg with the eyes of someone looking at trash, without saying a word.

Sig:............

He was first confused, then speechless, and finally completely dumbfounded.

He thought carefully about what he had just said and immediately realized the problem.

The killing move he mentioned seemed to be mistaken by Hancock for... Flying Thunder God Slash!

Seeing Hancock's disdainful gaze, Sieg almost felt so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.

I regret it now... I regret it so much!

He shouldn't have used the Flying Thunder God Slash in the first place!

"Looks like I can't use my Flying Thunder God Slash anymore. I still have some pride."

Sieg was filled with despair.

Although he wouldn't be attracted to the Empress, it was indeed very unbearable to be stared at by such a beautiful and arrogant woman with such a disdainful look.

Just when Sieg was feeling utterly hopeless, Hancock seemed to have noticed that Sieg was momentarily distracted.

She gritted her teeth and decided... to go all out!

This time, Hancock was determined, and no matter what Sieg said or what Flying Thunder God Slash he used, she would not waver!

All she wanted was Sieg's life!

Only with Higuma's death can she continue to be the proud Pirate Empress, instead of a slave to the Celestial Dragons!

The thought of Sieg escaping and revealing this secret to the world sent chills down her spine... There was no room for compromise on this point!

Hancock moved with lightning speed, diving towards Sieg at top speed!

It's too late to say.

She saw Sieg sigh slightly, and then he stretched out his hand, revealing a short sword blade protruding from his sleeve.

The next moment, Hancock froze, suddenly feeling as if she had lost control of her entire body.

But her running speed did not slow down at all. She ran ahead of Sig in an instant, then knelt down on one knee and caught the hidden sword that emerged from Sig's sleeve with her hands clasped together.

"What...what did you do to me?!"

Hancock's voice was filled with panic; she was struggling violently, her whole body trembling.

At this moment, she not only completely lost control of her body and was unable to move, but she was also kneeling on the ground in front of this man!

She is the Pirate Empress, the most beautiful woman in the world. Usually, it is others who kneel at her feet!

This uncontrollably reminded Hancock of her dark past as a slave...

Sieg was also sweating slightly as he struggled to suppress Hancock's struggles.

Hancock is only 19 years old now. Although she is strong, she relies more on her powerful Devil Fruit ability. Higuma can still suppress him at this stage.

"sizzle"

The sea snake Salome beside them flicked its tongue and hissed. It was also somewhat anxious, but under Sig's aura, it was momentarily intimidated and dared not approach.

"I don't have much time, I need to persuade the Empress quickly."

Sieg's mind raced, and soon a plan came to mind.

He stood there, his expression still calm, looking down at Hancock kneeling in front of him, but the look in his eyes softened slightly.

“Boa Hancock,” Sieg whispered her name.

Do you remember Rayleigh from Sabaody Archipelago?

The moment Rayleigh's name was uttered.

Hancock's body jolted, and she abruptly stopped struggling.

Then, with an increasingly complex expression, she looked at Sieg:

"You know it all?"

“Not bad.” Sig nodded.

“If you’ve asked around, you should know that I know Rayleigh.”

"And I've already learned about you from Rayleigh."

Chapter 456 Items that have eaten Devil Fruits

Sieg's mention of Rayleigh wasn't entirely unfounded.

Three years ago, the fishman hero Fisher Tiger burned the Holy Land and freed the slaves.

However, after the three Hancock sisters escaped from the Holy Land, they ended up in the Sabaody Archipelago. It was with the help of Granny, Rayleigh, Shakky, and others that they were able to safely return to Kuja.

"Rayleigh... he told you about me?"

Hancock calmed down a little, but her anger had not subsided.

“It was mentioned after we were drunk…” Sig glossed over the matter of Rayleigh, then continued:

"Actually, the marks left by those scum Celestial Dragons are not meant to stay with you forever."

“I even have more than one way to remove the marks left by those scum Celestial Dragons. Perhaps that’s why Rayleigh told me about you after I pressed him for details?”
