I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

He possesses a strange ability to temporarily manipulate an enemy's body to block artillery fire...

Clearly, he had done that on purpose for Doberman's benefit.

He could use Doberman as a human shield, and he could also manipulate other naval officers to block cannon fire.

But Doberman showed no sign of compromising.

Within the Navy, Doberman the Fighting Dog was known for his tough and ruthless style and would not easily compromise with mere bandits.

After Doberman said that, Sieg's expression turned somewhat strange.

His pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze focused on what was behind Doberman, revealing a hint of surprise, as if there was something strange behind Doberman.

"He's trying to trick me again... Sieg is truly a dirty man!"

Doberman snorted coldly.

Having been tricked by Sigmund again, he is now on guard and is continuously activating his Observation Haki.

Sig's tricks were childish and childish, like a prank by a kid. How could a Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters possibly fall for it?

Doberman sneered inwardly, preparing to attack Sieg, but then felt a sharp pain in his anus, as if something sharp had once again pierced his rear.

Looking back, he saw a burly man with short blond hair, wielding a giant axe in both hands, standing behind him with a strange smile. The axe was aimed viciously at his rear...

"Who is it? How did they manage to evade my Observation Haki? Wait, it's so quiet, not even a sound?"

In excruciating pain, blood gushed from Doberman's anus!

The old wound that Sieg had inflicted on him with the coffin lid had reopened at this moment!

This axe blow sent Doberman staggering several steps, his face pale as he clutched his backside and leaped back to his own warship using Moonwalk, blood splattering in the wind...

Sig looked at the burly man with short blond hair and instinctively felt a tightness in his anus.

It's one thing for him to use the Flying Thunder God Slash, but it's quite another for him to see others imitate it...

Axe King Morgan, the user of the Silence-Silence Fruit.

Having consumed the Silence Fruit for a long time, the burly man now seemed to have become barely perceptible.

At this moment, Morgan was standing in front of Sig, but Sig tried to sense him with his Observation Haki, but he could hardly detect Morgan's presence, as if he didn't exist at all.

Seeing Sieg looking over, Morgan chuckled, then, once again shouldering his blood-stained giant axe, walked towards one of the marines engaged in battle...

......

On the other side, Aokiji, wielding an ice blade, clashed with Crocodile's sand blade. Using the force of the clash, he leaped back onto the warship's deck and looked at Doberman, who was covered in blood.

Doberman's injuries were indeed serious; first, he was hit in the back by multiple shells, and then Monca's axe ruptured his old wound in his anus.

After exchanging a few words with him, Aokiji gave orders to the warships:

"Stop shelling Sig! Using artillery against Sig will only backfire..."

The intense whistling of artillery shells gradually subsided, leaving only the warships besieging Barrett still roaring incessantly.

On the shore, Tom and the others, who had not participated in the battle, also witnessed the changes in the battle situation.

At this time, the naval warships had ceased their bombardment, and although the buildings near Water 7 were still ablaze, the chaos had not worsened.

The sea breeze grew stronger, dark clouds loomed overhead, and rain began to fall on the city's outskirts above the buildings destroyed by artillery fire.

"Sig actually forcibly grabbed a naval admiral to use as a human shield, forcing the navy to stop firing..."

Tom couldn't help but admire:

"How could Sieg still have the mind to protect Water Seven in the midst of such an intense battle?"

He looked up at the sky, a hint of mockery in his smile.

"The Navy is attempting to destroy Water Seven, just like the Buster Calls of the past."

"Are the pirates trying to stop the Navy and protect the city?"

Robin's heart stirred slightly. She glanced at Sig's back on the distant ship's deck, and the chill in her heart suddenly subsided considerably.

Without realizing it.

The waves gradually surged and churned, and the sea became increasingly turbulent.

However, Robin felt more at ease than before.

.........

After Vice Admiral Doberman, clutching his backside, was recalled to his warship, the other sailors looked at Sieg and his men with even more fear in their eyes.

In the midst of the fierce battle, no one dared to approach Sig for a while, which gave Sig a brief respite.

Sig looked up at the horizon, his expression still grave.

The sea breeze grew stronger, the waves rose and fell, and the sky was covered with dark clouds with occasional flashes of lightning, creating a scene reminiscent of an impending storm.

The gods of water are coming.

Chapter 582 The Changes in Weapon Fruits

During the brief rest, Sieg glanced at the sky and then surveyed the battlefield, discovering that the situation was not favorable for them.

The Buster Call fleet, led by Admiral Akainu, consisted of ten top-tier warships and nearly ten thousand naval personnel.

This powerful fleet far surpasses Sig's side in terms of firepower, manpower, and number of strong individuals.

The current stalemate in the battle is largely thanks to Barrett.

As soon as the Buster Call fleet arrived, Barrett charged into the center of the battlefield alone, drawing the attention of most of the Buster Call fleet, including Akainu, with her own strength.

Even so, the remaining warships, in terms of both manpower and the number of strong soldiers, were still far superior to Sieg's side.

If the shelling hadn't been halted by Aokiji's order, Sig would still be at a significant firepower disadvantage.

Especially the duel between Crocodile and Aokiji.

In this marine environment, with the Water Gods about to arrive, Aokiji was in perfect harmony, easily condensing the water vapor in the air into ice. Crocodile, as the user of the Sand-Sand Fruit, was at a clear disadvantage.

This immediately made Sieg worried.

The Navy already has a greater number of strong fighters. If Crocodile is defeated or injured and unable to fight, it will likely be more than just Higuma being forced to face Aokiji. The entire battle will be tilted as a result.

"No, we must at least hold out until the water gods arrive..."

Sig was also somewhat anxious.

Meanwhile, Aokiji, who was fighting Crocodile, waved his hand to gather countless ice spikes, forcing Crocodile back, when a thought suddenly struck him.

He turned his head and saw Sieg holding a longsword, looking at him expressionlessly, and his heart sank.

"What schemes and plots does Sieg have this time?"

Aokiji also lost his usual composure.

In his view, the situation in this battle was not favorable for the navy.

The few remaining strongmen of lieutenant general rank or above are currently all tied down by Barrett, Sieg and others, and no victor has been decided yet.

The speed at which Lieutenant General Doberman of the Headquarters was defeated by Sieg was even faster than Aokiji had imagined.

"The remaining three lieutenant generals, including myself, are all tied down, and Sakazuki is still locked in a fierce battle with Barrett, with no clear victor..."

Aokiji frowned; he sensed that the battle situation was very unfavorable for the Navy!

Doberman the fighting dog was defeated too quickly, and no one was able to free up any hands to restrain Sieg!

Aokiji knew exactly what this meant: a powerful figure like Sig could attack freely on this battlefield without anyone holding him back!

Sig's mere presence is enough to shatter the current, fragile balance on this battlefield!

Aokiji's expression changed slightly. He relayed the order through the officer beside him, and dozens of naval officers wearing cloaks of justice had already assembled on several warships around them.

These are almost all the elite officers and soldiers on these warships, from naval captains to rear admirals, a total of dozens of people, all gathered at this moment under Aokiji's command.

Their faces were solemn as they leaped towards Sieg using the Moon Step technique, intending to use their numerical advantage to hold him off.

Aokiji also intensified his efforts, with dense ice spikes raining down behind him as his attacks became increasingly fierce.

The naval officers rushed forward, their blades flashing and sword energy crisscrossing. Some even used their "Storm Kick" to create a vacuum, transforming it into sharp slashing waves that tore through the air.

"Storm Kick!"

"Sigurd, take this!"

"Sig, prepare to die!"

Sig was startled.

In the blink of an eye, the attacks of these elite officers tore grooves into the bow of the ironclad pirate ship, and the air exploded.

In that split second, Sieg dodged upwards by stepping on the air, while secretly activating a frame-dropping attack.

Suddenly, amidst the chaos of battle, the images seen by the Marines and Sieg began to stutter strangely again.

"It's that weird ability of Sig's again..."

Damn it!

"Stop! Otherwise you'll hurt your own people."

The disorientation of the space caused the naval officers to lose their composure in their attacks. Amidst the crisscrossing blades, several of them were struck by each other, blood flowing freely.

Sig has used the frame-drop attack against the Navy several times, especially after the Impel Down war, and the Navy has also proposed corresponding countermeasures against this ability.

In other words... pause the attack to avoid friendly fire.

By the time the frame-dropping attack was restored, Sig was already walking on air, suspended in mid-air.

Although some members of the navy were accidentally injured, several attacks grazed Sieg's body, tearing his flesh open once again.

"These abilities are all so flashy, can't they be like the Iruma Card from back then, allowing me to safely evade attacks?"

Sig bit his hand hard into the wet flesh in the water, thinking angrily.

The food in my inventory is basically only good for treating minor injuries, and its effect on healing wounds is not significant. After being injured repeatedly, the meat in my inventory is gone again.

"We can't withstand this many attacks at all! Even the frame-dropping attacks can only buy us a little time. We're doomed!"

This time, after his wounds healed, Sieg didn't rush to close his inventory. Instead, he glanced at Aokiji in the distance.
