I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

They could feel that the immense pressure they had just experienced had dissipated as quickly as the receding tide.

Back at the rear, Colonel Kaven, who had already returned to the naval lines, suddenly brightened up and gave the order:

"This ability user's power has its limits. Don't panic, keep going!"

The navy men gritted their teeth and charged two steps toward Sig, and sure enough, they felt no pressure at all, which immediately made them happy.

"Sig's abilities have failed! Killing him will be a great achievement!"

Sig's face stiffened.

My mind is screaming:

"What kind of weird ability is this? It's useless if I'm not afraid, it only works when I'm afraid?"

As the navy charged again, a thought flashed through Sieg's mind!

There's a famous saying: the best way to eliminate fear is to face it!

This is positive energy for the bandits under Sig's command.

But for Sieg, the approach is somewhat different.

He had to confront his fears and then succumb to them!

Only in this way can the imperial engine be reawakened!

He made a difficult decision and began to hypnotize himself internally:

"No! I was thinking wrong! These marines aren't just weaklings, they're incredibly strong! I'm incredibly weak!"

"That's right, they're actually incredibly strong. They might be big shots hiding dozens of trump cards, the kind who could take down a Marine Admiral in no time!"

"Compared to these big shots, I'm just a nobody!"

While repeatedly hypnotizing himself, Sieg braced himself and faced the oncoming navy.

His gaze did not fall on the sailors, but instead fell on the gleaming swords in their hands.

"If you get hit by this, you really will die!"

As the two drew closer, Sieg began to panic.

Emperor Engine, revived!

The excitement on the faces of the excited naval soldiers who had just rushed over had not yet faded when that terrifying sense of pressure returned. Everyone stopped abruptly, their hearts pounding.

And then... they fled again.

"We've weathered this storm... but we can't be sure we're safe!"

Sieg breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then immediately realized his carelessness.

He was trying his best to succumb to his inner fear and tension!

"The enemy definitely has a backup plan. I can't be careless! It's still very dangerous. I'm so scared!"

"That's right, the enemy might have reinforcements. With my reputation as the Mountain Bandit King being so great, they might have fifty-six Marine Admirals lying in ambush!"

The more Sieg thought about it, the more panicked he felt, his heart pounding with anxiety!

"puff!"

Colonel Calvin, who was directing operations from the rear, witnessed this scene and was filled with grief and indignation, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Sig! You tricked me again!"

"You used yourself as bait to lure me into making a move, and now you're pretending your abilities have stopped working!"

While roaring inwardly, Colonel Calvin unconsciously ran further away.

"This Sig is dangerous, far too dangerous!"

Beside Colonel Calvin, the Kingdom Army Commander Parker, who had also retreated to the back, wiped his sweat.

"Is this the Devil Fruit user from the high seas? That's a really strange ability."

"As soon as they step within a certain range of him, the soldiers will lose their will to fight..."

Hmm? Within a certain range?

Colonel Caven's heart skipped a beat. He observed Sieg in the distance, and his face lit up with joy:

"I understand, his abilities still have weaknesses... Let's gather all the remaining gunmen and shoot him from a distance!"

"good idea!"

.......

The battle between the two sides has entered its later stages, and everyone has joined the fight. Colonel Calvin's order to redeploy a portion of the Allied gunners is no small matter.

With so many men gone, the remaining allied forces immediately fell into a slump, retreating steadily in front of the bandits and the leisurely approaching Sig.

Colonel Calvin's deployment naturally caught Sieg's attention.

Beside him, there were about thirty or forty gunmen lined up, dozens of black gun barrels pointing far away in this direction.

Even from a distance of several dozen meters, Colonel Calvin met Sieg's gaze without fear this time, and even laughed out loud;

"Sig, you're finished. We've discovered the weakness in your abilities!"

Sieg was jolted!

That is indeed a weakness of the Emperor Engine!

The Emperor Engine's influence range was limited; no matter how afraid he was, he ultimately couldn't affect the coalition gunners in the distance!

Sieg felt a chill run down his spine, his mouth went dry, and he felt increasingly nervous.

This time, it really hit his weakness right.

Bang bang bang bang bang....

He watched as Colonel Calvin, a smug smile on his face, waved his hand and gave the order:

"Everyone, together..."

boom!

Before the order to fire was even finished, a naval soldier opened fire.

The shot landed on the ground three or four meters away from Sig, but missed.

Sieg's eyes lit up. He could see the tense look on the soldier's face and the slightly trembling gun barrel in his hand from afar.

"The Emperor Engine's effects are still there, but they are diminished over distance!"

"So, because of nervousness, the soldier accidentally fired off course!"

Sieg suddenly realized something; he had come up with a dangerous plan.

At the moment when dozens of guns were pointed at him, Sieg broke out in a cold sweat, his mind racing, and he glanced at his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.

He was only a few dozen meters away from the dozens of coalition gunmen opposite him, but the area around him was a clearing in the mountains, with no thick trees or even large rocks.

Running away or trying to hide will lead to the same result.

The only chance is to charge forward, and with the Emperor Engine, all we need to do is make the gunmen miss.

"That makes sense, but..."

Sieg glanced at the dozens of dark gun barrels in front of him, his scalp tingling and his heart pounding.

He watched as the naval captain behind the Allied gunmen waved his hand again, giving the order to fire, and the dozens of gunmen were already pointing their pistols at him.

With his heart pounding like a drum, Sieg didn't have time to think; his mind went blank. He rushed forward at top speed, instinctively shouting:

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

In their eyes, it was as if a terrifying behemoth was roaring and charging forward, the dense roar of the Emperor's engines deafening them, and the terrifying pressure almost suffocating them.

The sudden roar and the rapid approach of Sieg made several gunmen even more nervous, and with a tremor in their hands, a few bullets were fired.

Some people fired their guns before they could even aim, some had their gun barrels trembling uncontrollably, and others turned pale and tried to slip away.

"He actually charged at us? He wasn't afraid of our bullets?"

After the gunmen arrived, Colonel Calvin's face turned pale.

"Did I guess wrong again? Or is Sig really that brave?"

Colonel Calvin felt a chill run down his spine as he faced an opponent who wasn't afraid of even dozens of gunmen firing at him simultaneously.

An elderly woman who does square dancing said that if she dances fast enough, her loneliness can't catch up with her.

An elderly scavenger said that if he searches through the trash carefully enough, he can find his lost self.

A sanitation worker said that she has been sweeping these two streets every day for seven years, but she still hasn't been able to sweep away the imperfections in her heart.

An elderly man who staged an accident said that as long as his performance was convincing enough, he could fool the fleeting passage of time...

Siegfried thought that as long as he charged fast enough, no one could shoot him down.

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

When Sieg stopped, the dozens of gunmen in front of him had completely lost their will to fight.

Some fired, but missed; some collapsed to the ground; and others simply ran away...

Sieg, on the other hand, was completely unharmed.

When he came to his senses, Colonel Calvin was already slumped at his feet, looking at Sieg with a desperate expression.

"Even when our gunmen fire in unison, you're not afraid at all, Sieg?"

"I admit our navy underestimated you. To think we considered you a mere eight million bounty criminal..."

"This is not a battle! You are humiliating our navy!"

"As the leader of the mountain bandits, you still haven't deigned to lay a hand on us..."

At this point, Colonel Calvin stared blankly at the longsword still tucked at Sig's waist; he had suffered a severe blow.
