I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

A cacophony of voices drifted from afar, growing louder as it approached.

Just as the pillar of light began to fade, a large group of enemies arrived from the direction of Pangu City.

There were Celestial Dragon bodyguards in black suits, and CP0 colleagues in striking white uniforms... There were quite a few of them, a dense, dark mass.

"Sig is doomed!"

"Sig must die!"

Everyone's face was filled with murderous intent. From the moment they appeared, their eyes were fixed on Sieg, as if they wished they could devour him alive.

Not to mention Sieg, even Stussy couldn't help but look serious when faced with such a group of people.

As for Sig...

Boom!Boom!

An inexplicable aura surged from his body like a tidal wave, clearly indicating an extremely strong fighting spirit.

Sieg glanced at Stussy beside him.

"It's about time I left too, come with me."

He gazed intently at the distant Pangu City and spoke softly:

"This feint attack should end now."

"The Holy Land Mary Geoise... I will return..."

The calm tone, coupled with the heartbeat like a war drum, unleashed a terrifying pressure like a tidal wave.

As they spoke, Sieg didn't hesitate to step on the air, swinging his arms backward with the wind, and sprinted away from the holy land. Stussy followed closely behind, using the Moonwalk technique.

"Chase!"

A CP0 officer in a white suit growled from his throat, his eyes filled with rage, almost losing his mind.

The dark mass of people also rushed away, and many of them even used the Moon Step technique to quickly rise into the air, like a swarm of bees about to leave the holy land.

.........

Deep within Pangu City.

Im looked at this side through the monitor screen, his brows furrowing once again.

This time, however, his gaze fell upon the CP agents.

These people were numerous, but each of them appeared to be blinded by anger and almost irrational.

He thought back to the uncontrollable rage he had felt earlier...

“Something’s not right. He’s deliberately trying to provoke us…not just ordinary provocation, he seems to have some kind of ability to influence our minds.”

Im recalled Sig's face, and a nameless anger rose within him once more.

But this time, he quickly suppressed the almost uncontrollable anger in his heart.

He broke out in a cold sweat.

From the second attack on the Heavenly King, he seemed to have lost his reason of hundreds of years, recklessly allowing the Heavenly King to launch another attack.

It wasn't just him... almost all the CP agents were also enraged by Sieg, which was very unusual.

"Is Sieg trying to provoke these people and get them to chase him away from the Holy Land?"

"He said this was... a feint?"

After a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Im picked up the Den Den Mushi next to him.

Chapter 522 The Black Flame Dragon Really Exists!

A feint attack...

This word reminded Im of another important location that was under attack: Impel Down, the main prison.

"A feint attack might be real, but it could also just be a smokescreen..."

"But Sig and the others' goal may not be Impel Down, but this holy land, Mary Geoise."

"Clearly, he is now using a diversionary tactic, employing his ability to manipulate people's minds to try and lure the Holy Land's guards away."

"By then, the Holy Land will be empty, and even the Heavenly King will find it difficult to launch another attack... This is a very troublesome situation."

"Everyone says Sieg is cunning and treacherous, and it's true."

Im sat on the throne, his face grim, deep in thought.

He continued to watch the images of the holy site ruins on the monitor screen.

As the de facto ruler of the World Government, Im's orders are absolute. With a single command, he forcibly restrained the CP agents, forcing them to stop and guard the ruins of this sacred site.

This ruin was bombarded twice by the Heavenly King, leaving almost no flat land. It is covered with craters of all sizes, the largest of which is hundreds of meters in size.

However, Im didn't really care about these things.

Throughout, his concern was not for Impel Down, nor for the gardens surrounding the Holy Land... but for himself and Pangaea.

The Holy Land was bombarded at his own command, but the only loss was to the Celestial Dragons' reputation.

Rebuilding the holy site would indeed require a great deal of manpower, resources, and time.

Manpower? The Holy Land still has plenty of slaves; even if they run out, they can always find more.

Material resources? The World Government is the true master of this world; no one can compare with the Celestial Dragons in terms of wealth.

Time? He, an immortal being, has plenty of time.

For example, a long time ago, Fisher Tiger climbed the Red Line, burned the Holy Land, and freed the slaves, which really humiliated the Celestial Dragons.

But so what?

The Celestial Dragons are still the Celestial Dragons, and the Holy Land remains the Holy Land.

Although this incident was more serious than Tiger's burning of the Holy Land, it still did not endanger Pangaea.

What surprised Im the most was that Sigurd was actually able to withstand the power of the Ancient Weapon Uranus...

Sieg even had the strength to save the CP0 next to him.

"How could a human possibly stand against the Heavenly King on their own?"

"...Never mind, at least we've planted a decent piece this time."

Im pondered for a moment, then picked up the Den Den Mushi again and contacted the Five Elders:

"When Sig appeared in the Holy Land, he seemed to have made contact with a Celestial Dragon?"

"Take a look and see if you can get any useful information."

After doing all this, Im stood up from his throne, about to shift his attention away from the monitor screen, but his gaze suddenly sharpened.

His gaze fell on the image, on the deep pit that was hundreds of meters in diameter.

From the perspective of the surveillance camera, it is not possible to see the full bottom of this deep pit.

But just now, Im seemed to notice that the ground at the location of that deep pit was trembling.

This is not an illusion.

The ground of the holy site suddenly trembled and shook, the earth rising and falling like waves.

A huge gap suddenly appeared in the hundreds-of-meters-deep pit, and a giant claw covered in scales emerged from the gap and landed on the ground.

Roar!

A high-pitched roar erupted from the bottomless abyss, suddenly unleashing an invisible wave of energy that swept in all directions. Then, surging black flames flowed upwards from the ground like a waterfall cascading back into the sky.

The ground trembled incessantly, and the entire body of that enormous creature was finally revealed to the sunlight.

This was an indescribably enormous creature, most of its body bathed in pitch-black flames.

The body not covered by flames was covered with jet-black scales that reflected a cold, metallic light in the sunlight.

Between the scales, a faint, dark red light emanates, rising and falling with its breath, as if molten lava flows within its body.

Black wings, seemingly capable of blotting out the sky, spread out behind it. On its thick, ferocious head, a pair of dark golden vertical pupils, carrying an inexplicable majesty, looked down at the mortals below.

"dragon!"

Almost everyone spoke up instinctively, uttering the name of this creature that should have only existed in fantasy.

"But how did it emerge from beneath the sacred ground?"

"This is a sacred place!"

Many people suddenly remembered a legend.

Since Sieg's rise to power, a legend has circulated on the sea, its truth or falsehood uncertain.

Roar!

The jet-black dragon raised its head and let out a high-pitched roar, a surging wave of air sweeping across the sky. Then, it no longer looked at the mortals below, and with a flap of its black wings, the gale it stirred up almost knocked the surrounding dark mass of people to the ground.

Then, the jet-black dragon roared and soared into the sky, disappearing into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds at an incredible speed.

Only the CP agents remained, standing atop that bottomless pit, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"The Black Flame Dragon, is it real?"

Deep within Pangu City, Im, who had already gotten up from his chair, sat back down, unconsciously gripping the lion-shaped armrest.

"This is Sig's backup plan? He was prepared all along... If his diversionary tactic had succeeded, then this Black Flame Dragon..."

Sieg, this anomaly, has brought him so many surprises.

This was a development he, an immortal being, had never witnessed in 800 years...

.........

In the sky beyond the Red Earth continent.

Sig walked on air as if on flat ground, leaning forward in a ninja running posture, his arms swinging backward with the wind.

Stussy, on the other hand, used Moonwalk to follow closely behind Sieg.

Suddenly, a faint dragon's roar came from the direction of the holy land behind them. The sound had a strong penetrating power, and they all felt a strange sense of unease.
