I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Arrogant!" The golden lion's face also darkened. Unbeknownst to him, dark clouds began to gather over the battlefield, and thunder gradually began to rumble.

"Even if Roger were to be resurrected, he couldn't possibly face so many powerful opponents alone. You're courting death."

Upon hearing this, Barrett's laughter grew even louder:

"How can I surpass Roger if I can't do what he did?"

Barrett looked down at the powerful figures on the battlefield below, her gaze sweeping over Golden Lion and the others in turn, and said in a low voice:

"Golden Lion, you are nothing but a weakling who was defeated by Roger. If Roger could defeat you, so can I!"

"Whitebeard, I've heard you're now known as the strongest man in the world! I'll take that title from you!"

"And... Sig! Our battle isn't over yet!"

"I will surpass you all, surpass Roger, and become the strongest in the world... the Pirate King!"

These words caused an uproar on the entire battlefield, leaving both the navy and the pirates stunned for a moment.

The prisoners in Impel Down were mostly unruly and ruthless characters, but Barrett's words made their eyelids twitch.

In fact, Barrett's punch had a wide-ranging impact, accidentally injuring far more than just Teach, and her words ignited all the anger in their hearts.

Immediately, many people could no longer tolerate it and directly used their own methods to attack Barrett in anger.

"Interesting. You may not be strong enough, but the more challengers the better!"

Barrett was not surprised but delighted. He swung his huge tower fist and began to deal with the pirates who were attacking him.

"That Barrett guy... he keeps talking about Roger, what does he have to compare to Roger?"

The golden lion was furious, but also somewhat helpless.

In his view, Barrett was a major force capable of influencing the course of the battle, and he would not stoop to fighting with Barrett on this battlefield, lest he become a laughingstock for the Navy.

Sieg looked up at Barrett, who was fighting with several Impel Down prisoners, and sighed inwardly.

Barrett was released from prison 10 years early, but she was still the same as before, a madwoman who only knew how to fight.

That was an incredibly sarcastic and mocking move.

In the original storyline, after Barrett was released from prison, she used Roger's treasure as bait to provoke the Buster Call fleet led by the entire Supernova Pirates, several Shichibukai, and two Admirals.

Now Barrett is doing the same thing, actively mocking the entire audience, which is simply... courting death.

Sig glanced up at the Golden Lion and Whitebeard in the distance.

The Golden Lion's face was gloomy. Although he had not yet made a move, dark clouds had already gathered in the sky, and lightning and thunder were constantly flashing. It was clear that he was already angry, and it was not impossible for him to make a move against Barrett in the next moment.

Whitebeard was in a similar situation. Barret attacked his family and showed no remorse, which had crossed Whitebeard's line.

"No matter how strong Barrett is, provoking two Yonko at the same time is a dead end. This guy is doomed."

Sieg thought to himself.

But then Sieg realized it was getting dark.

Looking up, Barrett had already slapped away the prisoners who had challenged him earlier like flies, and then her massive head stared intently at Sig, the shadow cast by the fortress enveloping him.

"Today has been a great day; there are powerful individuals everywhere who can challenge me..."

"Sigurd, let's start with you. Our battle isn't over yet!"

Barrett roared, raising the massive tower fist high before bringing it down toward Sig.

Sig:............

This script is not right. The people arguing with Barrett are clearly Whitebeard and Shiki, and there are two Yonko (Emperors of the Sea) around, but they insist on fighting with me.

"Whitebeard! Golden Lion! That guy Barrett..."

Sig's heart tightened, and he immediately shouted out and turned to look.

The golden lion, with a stern face, nodded to Sig in the distance, and the dense dark clouds in the sky dispersed slightly.

"I know."

"You can teach Barrett a lesson yourself, I won't interfere, don't worry."

Meanwhile, Whitebeard silently withdrew his naginata, which he was about to swing, and nodded slightly to Sigurd.

"It would be too embarrassing if we all had to work together to deal with that guy."

"Don't worry, Sig, we'll handle the Navy. No one will interfere with your battle!"

Sig:........

Chapter 551 Sig vs. Impel Down Giants (Combined)

Higuma was deeply moved when both Shiki and Whitebeard stated that they would not interfere in his battle with Barrett.

Especially regarding Whitebeard.

In this way, neither allies nor enemies, intimidated by the reputations of Whitebeard and Golden Lion, would be able to participate in the battle between Barrett and Higuma.

In other words... Sig will have no help; he will have to fight the Impel Down Titans alone!

And at this time.

"Sig, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

Crocus walked over with a solemn expression, which made Sieg's eyes light up and a glimmer of hope suddenly appear in his heart.

Crocus was Roger's ship's doctor, so he was clearly not weak; he just usually kept a low profile.

"Could it be... that Crocus is going to help me deal with Barret, and that he's actually incredibly strong, with the strength of a Yonko?"

The idea suddenly popped into Sieg's mind.

Then, he saw Crocus hesitate for a long time before finally saying:

"Barrett is a monster out of control. After Roger died, he lost his purpose for a while, which is why he gradually lost control and became the way he is now."

“Sig, I know this is inappropriate to say, but if you still have the strength, could you spare his life?”

Sig: .....

He nodded blankly: "I'll try my best."

The last glimmer of hope in Sieg's heart was extinguished.

At this moment.

Sig suddenly felt a faint chill.

He had many companions, including powerful allies like Shiki and Whitebeard, forming the strongest pirate alliance in history... but no one could help him fight against Barrett.

The gazes from his allies, along with Barrett's towering fist descending from the sky, put immense pressure on Sieg.

"Why...why are you forcing me again...I don't want to..."

"Why? Why!"

Sig roared to the sky, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

That perpetually expressionless face had its lips twitching slightly involuntarily at that moment.

He hesitated, then remained silent for a long time, but in the end, he said nothing. All that came out of his mouth was a bitter smile.

There was self-deprecation, resistance, and inner conflict.

This scene vividly revealed Sig's inner turmoil, and it was also witnessed by Sengoku and the others.

"Who's pressuring Sieg? What exactly was Sieg trying to say? What's he struggling with?"

Sengoku's doubts were aroused, and he keenly noticed Sieg's unusual behavior at that moment.

Clearly, this was just a manifestation of Sieg's inner turmoil. Even the usually calm and composed Sieg occasionally loses control like this.

"Is the battle with Barrett causing Sieg such inner turmoil?"

"Could it be that there's some complicated entanglement between Sieg and Barrett?"

As Zhan Guo pondered, his brows gradually furrowed.

At this moment, Sieg stepped into the air and gradually rose into the sky, stretching out his arm and pointing to the sky. Dark flames swirled on his arm, facing the giant fist of the tower falling from the sky, creating a stark contrast between the two.

The Dark Flame Master, Phase Three Unlocked!

In that instant, Sieg's expression suddenly froze.

He suddenly realized that the third stage had failed to activate? Only the second stage had been activated?

Sig immediately opened a light screen, carefully scanned the panel information, and his heart sank.

Damn it, this is going to crash.

Sig was shocked.

The current Yuta Togashi card has a 60% synergy rate and 95/120 chuunibyou energy.

The required chuunibyou energy to activate stages one, two, and three are 50, 70, and 100 respectively.

This time, Sig was exactly 5 points short of his chuunibyou energy.

From stage one to stage three, the special effects and reality-altering abilities of chuunibyou energy increase in intensity, but the consumption of chuunibyou energy also increases.

"What's going on? I remember when we broke through the city wall, my chuunibyou energy was still enough. I didn't use it at all during that time, so how could it have decreased?"

With some doubt, Sieg turned his head and glanced at the Navy from afar, just as Higuma was looking over.

Sieg seemed to understand something...

The Shadow Clone card ability is inherited from himself, which is equivalent to a weakened version of himself.

Both sides have the same card compatibility, and Sig can also play two roles with his shadow clone to boost compatibility. The chuunibyou energy attached to the chuunibyou cards is also shared by both sides.

"The shadow clone just used the power of dark flames, which consumed some of its chuunibyou energy..."

Sieg's expression changed slightly; he had probably guessed this.

If they hadn't done that, the shadow clone would probably have died from the aftershocks of Barrett's punch...

And now...

Sig raised his head and looked up at the tower's giant fist that was falling from the sky like a meteor.
