I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

........

On the other side, Sig breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw the Golden Lion appear.

The Golden Lion's forces are not only key to potentially changing the course of the battle...

"Golden Lion, it's time to leave. Our objective has been achieved; continuing to fight the Navy is pointless," Sieg said in a deep voice.

"Next, we'll wait to reclaim the pirate ship..."

However, the golden lion's long laugh interrupted Sieg's words.

"Heh heh heh heh... Sig, what are you saying?"

The Golden Lion laughed and glanced at Sig. He floated in mid-air and pointed at the battlefield below.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With the current strength of the three of us, we can definitely compete with the current navy!"

As he spoke, Golden Lion turned around, laughing loudly, and looked at the group of great pirates dressed as prisoners behind him. He raised his arm and shouted:

"You've all been looking forward to this day, haven't you?"

"It's time to take revenge on the Navy and the World Government!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Golden Lion charged forward, swooping down towards the battlefield below. Then, a flash of golden light appeared, and Admiral Kizaru, wielding the Ame-no-Murakumo sword formed from laser light, engaged Golden Lion in battle.

The other prisoners followed closely behind, leaping down from the gap in the city wall and using their own skills to rush towards the battlefield.

"That Golden Lion guy..."

Sig's heart sank.

Golden Lion's sudden change of heart, his single-minded desire for revenge against the Navy, will inevitably escalate the current situation.

Given Shiki's personality, he might end up fighting all the way back to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

However... the power to retreat or not is now truly in the hands of Golden Lion; only he has the ability to lead everyone away.

This is something that neither Whitebeard, nor Higuma, Wald, and others could achieve.

"Golden Lion did have his own purpose, but now I'm on a pirate ship."

"It seems we have to wait until these prisoners have vented their anger. By then, Golden Lion won't be able to force all of us to fight the Navy."

Sig was helpless. After thinking for a moment, he walked toward the ironclad pirate ship that was frozen in ice, intending to reunite with the bandits first.

The Ironclad Pirate Ship was located in a corner of the battlefield and was not as conspicuous as the Whitebeard Pirates and the Flying Pirates, so there were fewer marines attacking it.

But Sieg's heart stirred slightly at that glance.

At the forefront of the battle line, Stussy, wielding Verben, whose upper body had transformed into a giant scythe, weaved through the enemy ranks. Blood blossomed with each swing of the scythe, and his actions were swift and decisive, showing no mercy to the Navy.

Meanwhile, the bald bandits were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the marines. Sig noticed that the bald bandits seemed to be muttering something silently, and the next moment, a marine would often be momentarily distracted and then be taken down by a single sword strike from the surrounding bandits.

The few who managed to break through the bandits' lines were quickly passed through by the negative spirits hidden underground, and then immediately knelt down on the spot.

To Sieg's surprise, Crocus, the ship's doctor who had never fought before, was also wielding a trident with incredible agility and speed, not at all like an old man.

During the battle, Crocus immediately and keenly noticed Sieg's gaze, turning back to glance at Sieg.

"Sig? You're finally back. Are you preparing to retreat?"

"The others aren't strong enough, this is going to be a tough battle... Don't send me, the doctor, into the fight!"

Crocus swung his halberd, sending four or five marines flying ten meters away, and said this.

"We'll talk about the retreat later."

Sieg smiled wryly to himself, but suddenly, another question came to mind:

"Crocas, are you acquainted with Barrett? I saw him in the lower levels of Impel Down."

Crocus was slightly taken aback.

..........

Blackbeard and his crew entered the battlefield through a side breach in Impel Down, some distance from the area where Whitebeard and his crew were located, separated by the Marines.

Therefore, Blackbeard and his crew can only be considered safe once they cross the battle lines and reunite with Whitebeard and his crew.

"Vista, your opponent is me!"

Vice Admiral Onigumo, wielding two swords and with his long hair flying wildly behind his head, gripped four long blades as he engaged in battle with Vista, the Flower Swordsman.

Aokiji followed closely behind, holding an ice-cold military knife, and blocked Wald's path.

“Bondi Wald... It’s been 20 years, hasn’t it? You’ve actually come back to life, just like Saulo.”

Wald's face darkened, his expression turning murderous.

"Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?"

Twenty years ago, he was besieged by a fleet led by Sengoku, Garp and others, but in reality, Garp and the others did not have time to make a move against him. Wald was ambushed by CP0 and finally frozen by Aokiji.

It's important to know that despite the sneak attack, Wald was a figure of the same generation as Sengoku and Garp, yet he ultimately lost to Aokiji and was frozen for a full 20 years...

The pirates were constantly attacked by the powerful Marines, and before they knew it, more and more of them were being held back.

Teach, however, suddenly realized that there were fewer and fewer people in the group... and he ran to the front of the group.

"Blackbeard Teach! Arrested in the name of justice!"

"Marshall D. Teach! Prepare to die!"

Navy ships roared and charged from all directions, and many of them exuded a dangerous aura that even Teach sensed. Swords flashed and stray bullets flew everywhere.

Teach gritted his teeth and fled, his large body surprisingly agile at this moment, bullets and sword flashes grazing his body from time to time.

But he couldn't escape all the attacks. His wounds and bloodstains multiplied, and shouts of battle echoed from all directions.

"enough!"

Teach couldn't take it anymore. He clenched his fists, stopped in his tracks, and looked back with murderous intent.

Then, he saw a figure covered in lava, its clenched fist turning into lava and rapidly expanding in his field of vision.

"A massive fireball!"

..........

The control room within the city.

Barrett gazed at the battlefield, which was gradually escalating into a fierce battle, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

This was the real battlefield he had been longing for, and Barrett was already getting excited.

"So many strong people, so many opponents."

"Then, from now on, they will all become my stepping stones."

Barrett read it softly.

He stretched his hands forward and placed them on the control room table. A purplish-black light rapidly spread from his arms, quickly permeating the entire control room like flowing water.

But that wasn't all. The purplish-black light spread rapidly, enveloping the entire Impel Down before anyone on the battlefield could react.

Chapter 547 Impel Down Giants

On the battlefield, Sig had already joined up with the other bandits.

The battle continued, and the intensity was increasing, with shouts of battle and flashing swords coming from all sides.

Sig did not interfere in the battle; he simply stood on the battlefield, and ordinary marines generally did not provoke him.

However, as the fight progressed, a thought struck Sieg, and a small ball of black flame appeared in his hand.

After entering the third stage, the Darkflame grants the ability to cause environmental destruction, inflicting tons of damage on floors and Impel Down walls.

Sieg had a bold idea.

He pointed, and a jet-black flame in front of him condensed into a flaming arrow, which then swiftly shot through the air and directly towards a navy officer wielding a large hammer at the front line.

The black fire arrow pierced through the great hammer in the navy's hand, passed through his waist and abdomen, and finally disappeared into the air.

"Ah ...

The navy officer let out a scream and looked down at his waist and abdomen.

Then he froze.

There were no wounds on his waist or abdomen, not even a trace of burns.

"Was it...an illusion? I think I was just hit by Sig's black flames..."

The navy officer quickly wiped away his sweat, but due to that momentary lapse in concentration, he was stabbed through the chest by a bandit next to him, spitting blood and collapsing to the ground.

Sieg frowned as he watched this scene from afar, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

The navy officer was unharmed, which was exactly what Sieg had expected.

But the weapons in his hands and the clothes on his body were completely undamaged... which is no different from the previous second phase.

The three-stage flames, along with the accompanying environmental destruction effects, seemed unable to damage the weapons held by the navy personnel or the clothing they wore.

In retrospect, this ability is more similar to that of the boss demon king in the game.

The Great Demon King's attacks are always powerful, often causing mountains to collapse, skyscrapers to crumble, and tons of damage to the ground, creating a very impressive visual effect.

But that's how it is.

Landslides and earthquakes are just that—fancy and visually appealing—and they don't actually cause any real damage to the protagonist in the game.

"What the hell... I thought this thing could be used to destroy clothes without taking damage..."

"The first stage is pure fire effects, the second stage is cool wave-battle effects, and the third stage is the BOSS slamming the ground effect?"

Sieg suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

The direction in which this chuunibyou energy is being amplified seems a bit off.

"If there are four stages, I hope you can add a clothes-tearing effect. Clothes-tearing effect should also be part of the chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) thing, right?"

As Sieg's mind wandered and his eyes darted around, he finally noticed the dark purple light emanating from Impel Down behind him.

His heart skipped a beat as he realized a terrible possibility.

"Crocas, do you think this is Barrett's Fusion Fruit power?"
