I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

However, in the next instant, Kizaru's body still appeared beside Sigurd in an instant.

He put his hands in his pockets, raised one foot, and golden light gathered at his toes, still maintaining his calm and nonchalant demeanor.

"No, it's too fast..."

Even with the boost from the Emperor Engine, Sigurd's speed currently appears to be slower than that of Kizaru, the user of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

The thought flashed through Sieg's mind. He turned his head slightly and could only vaguely see a bright light shining behind him.

Kizaru stood behind him, raised his foot, and kicked hard at Sigurd, endless light and heat gathering at the toe of his foot!

At the same time, a casual voice came to my ear.

"You were kicked at the speed of light..."

"Zawarudo!"

Before Kizaru could finish speaking, Sigu roared and used a frame-dropping attack, causing severe lag again. Kizaru had just raised his foot when his gleaming toe stopped abruptly!

"Kick kick kick kick kick kick kick-------Have you been there before?" Even Kizaru's voice was eerily drawn out during this pause.

In that instant of frame drop and pause!

With the Emperor Engine in operation, Sieg seized this brief opportunity!

Sig reached for another bottle at his waist and used it to unleash the Thousand Years of Death on Kizaru!

Next frame!

Kizaru's light-speed kick missed its mark, and the laser beam from his foot shot out, finally landing on the sea surface next to him, causing a huge explosion. The roar of the explosion and the sound of waves echoed continuously.

Kizaru only felt a blur before his eyes, and Sig in front of him suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, only to reappear behind him!

Then, holding a wine bottle, he shoved it hard into his anus!

call out!

In that instant, Kizaru reacted very quickly. His body turned into light once again and returned to the beach, regaining his human form.

Looking back, Sieg was holding a bottle of liquor, staring at him expressionlessly.

"What...what just happened?"

"General Borsalino's light-speed kick actually missed?"

"Sig was actually able to dodge a kick at the speed of light?"

The navy was not affected by the frame-dropping power; the series of changes that had just occurred between the two sides were so rapid that they were almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

One second ago, Admiral Kizaru appeared behind Sigurd, holding a significant advantage and about to kick Sigurd to pieces.

But the next second, Kizaru had already flown back to the beach, while Sigurd flashed by, holding a bottle of liquor, standing there expressionless.

In that brief exchange, neither side was injured, but Kizaru clearly returned empty-handed.

It seems that if Kizaru hadn't relied on his Devil Fruit ability to retreat so quickly, he probably would have been hit by Higuma.

Moria, who was able to clearly see the changes just now and was not affected by the frame drop, was also filled with shock and disbelief.

"Has Sigurd become this powerful? He almost hit Kizaru just now?"

Moria's face suddenly darkened. He knew he couldn't possibly dodge Kizaru's light-speed kick.

Only by relying on the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's ability to swap positions through the [Shadow Warrior] could it be possible to evade it.

But Sig, taking advantage of a gap in Kizaru's attack, actually circled around to Kizaru's back.

What does this mean?

"Higuma seems to be a little faster than Kizaru?"

"If it weren't for Higuma's insane nature, obsessed with stabbing Kizaru in the butt with a bottle, and going to all the trouble of getting behind Kizaru..."

"If Sigurd had used a simpler and more decisive dodge and counterattack move, Kizaru would likely have been hit by the counterattack this time!"

Upon realizing this, Moria felt a chill run down his spine.

He was still thinking about the seven mysterious black figures who carried Sig's coffin... Now that Sig had become this strong, Moria felt his hope was fading.

Even the usually carefree Kizaru finally showed a hint of annoyance on his face.

"This guy..."

However, the strange abilities that Sig had just displayed made Kizaru somewhat wary.

Kizaru's abilities have almost no weaknesses, and he is especially good at close combat. He uses his extremely fast speed combined with physical skills, often hitting his opponents before they can even react.

Previously, Kizaru had realized that firing lasers through his fingers would be affected by Sigu's ability, which is why he planned to get close.

But Kizaru didn't expect that things would get even worse once he got close.

"It's more troublesome than I imagined..."

Kizaru narrowed his eyes, then leaped into the air. His body began to radiate endless light and heat, transforming him into a being of light.

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

In the air, Kizaru, who had transformed into a man of light, had endless golden light bullets bursting out from his entire body. This was a torrential downpour of light that fell onto the sea below, completely covering the area around Higuma's pirate ship!

At that moment, raging black flames also ignited on Sieg's body.

He looked up at the rain of light falling like rain, then leaped off the deck and into the sea, where he actually started running.

Bang bang bang!

Under the Emperor Engine, Sieg's running speed was also quite astonishing. His feet were almost just a blur. He simply swept across the sea and created a gust of wind, his arms swinging backward with the wind.

Chapter 475 Time Deletion

Sig raced through the air toward the ironclad pirate ship, his heart pounding wildly.

His battle with Kizaru didn't last long, but his chuunibyou energy was almost completely depleted.

Continuing to fight will only make things more dangerous.

Only now did Kizaru and the other marines realize that the pirate ship was getting further and further away from the coast.

Clearly, while Higuma was entangled with Kizaru, the pirate ship took the opportunity to sail away from the coast and was now some distance from the beach.

"Sig escaped?"

"What escape? He's definitely feigning weakness again, deliberately trying to make us chase after him... Didn't you see what happened to General Borsalino, who was being sarcastic to by Sigmund earlier...?"

The sailors discussed amongst themselves, but few had any intention of giving chase.

However, in reality, the Navy led by Kizaru was a search and rescue force, carrying at most some light weapons, making it difficult to pursue Sig's ship at such a distance.

Only Kizaru, the user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, possesses the ability to pursue.

Considering Sig's troublesome abilities, Kizaru narrowed his eyes. Instead of standing still, he stretched out his palms again, pointing them at Sig's ship from afar, and golden light gathered between his palms once more.

Sig is most likely up to something again, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to send a laser beam from a distance to test the waters.

Kizaru started casting again.

Brub bru....

At that moment, the sound of a Den Den Mushi suddenly rang in Kizaru's pocket.

The golden light between his palms dimmed and disappeared instantly.

Loading bar, now stopped!

Kizaru raised his hand to answer the Den Den Mushi, and heard the Den Den Mushi calling urgently;

"General Borsalino, something terrible has happened!"

"General Zephyr has appeared; he has returned to our rescue force's temporary camp..."

“Zeff-sensei... I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, Kizaru glanced once more in the direction Sig had gone, then turned away without looking back.

"General Borsalino?"

The navy hesitated.

"Don't forget our primary objective: the lives of General Zephyr and his colleagues are the most important."

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go."

With that, Kizaru ignored the strange looks on the Marines' faces and headed back.

..........

In the woods on the cliffs beside the shore.

Moria, who had watched the entire battle, had a very complicated expression.

The battle between Sigurd and Kizaru was actually quite brief, and neither side achieved a true victory or defeat.

Sig was unharmed, while Kizaru was scorched by the black flames and looked disheveled, clearly at a disadvantage.

"Sigu escaped again... Didn't even the Navy Admiral manage to stop him?" Moria whispered.

At this point, Moria, despite his past failures, was still considered one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

He had originally hoped that once the Navy Admirals arrested and imprisoned Higuma, he, as a Shichibukai, could use his privileges to enter Impel Down and make contact with Higuma.

Then he'll figure out how to extract the secret of the seven shadowy corpses from Sieg... or seize the opportunity to reclaim the terrifying three-masted ship and take back the corpses he's accumulated over the years.

But right now... Moria senses that the time is not yet ripe.

Perhaps he needs to change his approach.
