I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

As for the even stronger figures like Lone Red... these people are already top-tier powerhouses on the sea, and Blackbeard felt he couldn't control them, so he didn't even consider it.

But now, everything is gone!

The Angel-Angel Fruits too, and the Impel Down crew too! They're all gone!

"Hehehehe..."

With a wave of his hand, the Golden Lion's men rushed forward, using the keys to unlock the cells one by one...

Upon seeing this, Blackbeard was completely petrified.

Although being rescued from Impel Down by his brothers in the Whitebeard Pirates should have been a joyous occasion, his mental state completely collapsed at that moment.

Just then, footsteps echoed again from the dark corridor in the distance.

Chapter 531 Barrett, Descendant of the Devil

While the Flying Pirates were unlocking the various cells.

From the depths of the dark corridor in the distance, a sudden sound of footsteps could be heard.

"who is it?"

Golden Lion, Vista, and the others immediately became alert and questioned him.

At this point, the only ones they could think of who would still be outside the cells were the Impel Down troops...

But when the two people in the shadows emerged, the Golden Lion was taken aback.

“Sigurd?” the Golden Lion blurted out.

"Didn't you go to launch a feint attack on Mary Geoise? How come you're here?"

"Take the stairs."

Sieg slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, and then replied:

"Golden Lion, you're a bit slow."

"You know in your heart that in this Impel Down operation, neither I nor Whitebeard are doing much to buy time for your actions."

"Your actions are the most crucial."

The golden lion grunted in response, his expression not looking too good.

The pirate alliance split up into three groups, and it was actually him, with his extremely high self-esteem, who slowed them down, making him somewhat embarrassed. Especially after he had just boasted in front of so many prisoners.

Meanwhile, Sig’s appearance immediately drew the attention of the prisoners who had just been released.

"Sig? That name sounds familiar."

"He went to launch a feigned attack on the Holy Land? The Holy Land refers to that Celestial Dragon's Holy Land?"

"By the way, Higuma! Vista just mentioned that Higuma is a great pirate who teamed up with Whitebeard and Shiki."

"Sigu... I think I've heard that name before. Isn't he the rookie pirate who attacked the Celestial Dragons in the East Blue?"

These prisoners, who had been held in Impel Down for many years, were relatively isolated from the outside world and could only get a general idea of ​​what was going on. They were not very familiar with Sig's past deeds.

Barrett, however, glanced at Sieg and then fixed his gaze on Crocdale beside him.

"This person... haven't I seen him somewhere before?" Barrett frowned slightly, pondering.

The pirates scrutinized Sig, their expressions gradually turning strange.

"Is he Sieg?"

"Is he the one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Whitebeard and Golden Lion?"

"He doesn't look familiar... Is he really a newcomer?"

Being scrutinized by so many vicious and ruthless pirates, Sieg felt a sudden pressure, like a husky patrolling a pack of wolves.

These notorious pirates have been imprisoned at the very bottom of Impel Down for years, almost completely cut off from the outside world. Whether they can get any news from the outside world depends entirely on the mood of the jailers.

Their impressions of the outside world are basically stuck in that era.

To them, Shiki and Whitebeard were top-tier powerhouses who had already made their names in the old era.

But who is Sigurd? A newly risen junior who can already stand on equal footing with Whitebeard and Shiki?

These former generation members, mostly self-important, felt an unconscious unease upon seeing Sieg, a rising star.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange.

"Looks like I'd better keep a low profile..."

The thought crossed Sieg's mind.

These great pirates have already been released by Golden Lion, so he doesn't need to show off and risk being targeted by these vicious guys.

Since there's already a Golden Lion to help with the quests, Sig can finally slack off, isn't that wonderful?

But at that moment, Vista's voice suddenly rang out:

"What are you thinking? Sieg is a powerful swordsman who can rival Hawkeye Mihawk for the title of the world's greatest swordsman!"

Bista walked over with a hint of indignation.

Sig felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and immediately waved his hand:

"Vista, don't brag. I clearly lost that time."

But Vista shook his head, and walked to Sieg's side and whispered:

“Mr. Sieg, I know you don’t care about these empty titles, but as our ally, this is no longer just a personal matter for you.”

"These pirates in the endless hell are unruly and are basically ruthless people who only respond to force."

"If we want them to respect us and not cause trouble in the upcoming battle, we have to be ruthless!"

Having said that, Vista drew his twin swords and glared angrily at the surrounding prisoners:

"Or do you think that Whitebeard would form an alliance with someone who has no strength?"

In Vista's view, Higash is now an ally on par with Whitebeard, and these prisoners looking down on Higash is looking down on Whitebeard's vision.

Moreover, although he himself also wanted to fight Sieg, he was somewhat displeased that Sieg, a great swordsman who had once rivaled Hawkeye, was being looked down upon by these prisoners.

Sig: .....

Why are there always treacherous subjects trying to harm me? Sig felt a chill run down his spine.

After Vista finished speaking, he drew his twin swords, which brought a brief moment of silence to the prison.

Both Hawkeye Mihawk and Vista are renowned swordsmen, especially Hawkeye, who rose to fame earlier.

Even the great pirates holed up in Impel Down had heard of the title of the world's greatest swordsman.

But immediately afterward, Sieg felt a subconscious sense of unease.

It was as if some bloodthirsty beast was staring at him in the darkness, causing his body to tense up instinctively.

"I see... It seems you are a strong person, Sig."

"interesting."

In the darkness, heavy footsteps approached from afar, growing clearer and clearer.

In a dark cell, a large and burly man walked in step by step, a smirk spreading across his face.

He stretched out his two thick, large hands and casually pulled at the bars of the cell. The bars were easily torn open like paper, leaving a large hole, and then rolled up into a pile of scrap metal.

This man was as imposing as an iron tower, his muscles frighteningly developed, as if cast in iron. Especially the arrogant smile that always graced his face gave him an intense sense of oppression.

When the man walked out of the cell, all the criminals in the Infinite Hell looked over instinctively, their expressions becoming more solemn.

Crocdale, standing next to Sieg, also sharpened her gaze.

"Douglas Barrett...that madwoman is still alive?"

"Huh? You know me?" Barrett laughed arrogantly, glancing at Crocdale.

Then, he stepped forward and instantly appeared in front of Vista, his towering figure casting a large shadow.

"You drew your sword in front of me, so you mean you want to fight me, right, Vista the Flower Sword?"

Chapter 532 Internal Strife

"You drew your sword in front of me, so you mean you want to fight me, right, Vista the Flower Sword?"

Barrett flashed into view and appeared in front of Vista, her tall figure casting a shadow that enveloped Vista.

The Whitebeard Pirates are all muscular men. Although Vista is a swordsman and wears a gentleman's outfit, he is actually quite burly.

However, even Vista felt a strong sense of pressure in front of Barrett, who was much larger and stronger.

"Wow, that's fast... This guy was imprisoned in Impel Down, yet he's even stronger than before."

Fencing legend Bista immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Barrett was once a member of Roger's pirate crew and had dealings with Vista, the captain of Whitebeard's pirate crew.

"Barrett... now is not the time to fight you----"

Before Vista could finish his sentence, Barrett scoffed and shook her head.

"You talk too much nonsense."

His thick right arm was instantly covered in Armament Haki, and his fist slammed towards Vista like a cannonball.

"Barrett, you..."

Vista's expression changed slightly, and he immediately reacted, crossing his two swords in front of his chest to block.

But then a clang of metal rang out, and a fist like a cannonball slammed into the twin swords. The twin swords in Vista's hands trembled, and he felt an incredibly powerful force emanating from Barrett's fist.

"not bad."

Barrett grinned, her smile growing increasingly arrogant.

He didn't give Vista a chance to speak at all, his other fist was already clenched, and his skin was covered with purple-black Armament Haki, making him look like a giant cast in steel.

"Again!"
