I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Upon seeing this, Sieg felt a slight tremor in his heart.

In that instant when time seemed to stand still, Aokiji's ice blade clashed with Crocodile's golden hook, sparks flying.

Around Aokiji, countless ice crystal spears floated in the air, pointing densely at Crocodile.

In the blink of an eye, Crocodile had fallen into an absolute state of decline.

"We can't lose. We must at least hold out until the water gods arrive..."

Giant waves were already faintly visible on the horizon, and the sea was becoming increasingly turbulent.

Sieg pondered for a moment, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the Viben in his hand.

Vi was originally a user of the Weapon-Weapon Fruit, but after further development, her ability has become somewhat different from what it was before.

The Weapon Fruit allows the user to transform different parts of their body into various cold and hot weapons of the same size as their body.

However, it is impossible to transform into weapons that are far larger than their own size, such as the Gundam piloted by Barrett, which Veben could never create.

However, Verben can still conjure weapons that are slightly larger than the human body.

At that moment, Sieg had already made a decision in his heart.

Closing the inventory will restore the flow of time.

"Viben, sword and spear form!" Sig recited rapidly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the longsword in her hand rapidly transformed into a large sword-spear three or four meters long, with the slender legs of a young girl.

"Crocodile, I'm here to save you!" Sig gripped Wiburn's leg tightly and shouted.

Chapter 583 One Against Two

A storm was brewing, the waves were surging, and the sea was roaring wildly.

Beneath the gloomy sky, at the horizon, a murky, gray wave was gradually taking shape, surging towards the battlefield.

"Crocodile, I've come to save you!"

When Sieg shouted those words, both Crocodile and Aokiji, who were fighting, changed their expressions.

"Oh no, Sieg is about to make his move!"

"We have to get rid of this sand-playing guy now!"

Aokiji was secretly alarmed; he had absolutely no confidence in dealing with both Sieg and Crocodile at the same time.

He exhaled a breath of cold air, and the ice crystal spears floating in the air around him became even colder and sharper, launching an attack in that instant.

Crocdale's face was even more grim than Aokiji's; she had a bad feeling.

"Oh no! That bastard Sieg is coming again!"

She tried to turn into sand and escape, but Aokiji was already prepared. The surrounding ice crystal spears came like a storm, and the attack became more and more rapid, leaving Crocodile exhausted from fighting back and unable to escape at all.

Sieg witnessed this scene.

After he shouted to Crocodile from afar, Crocodile was instead plunged into an absolute disadvantage, in grave danger, and could die at the hands of Aokiji at any moment.

"Sigh... I didn't want to either."

Sig picked up the half-sword spear in his hand and sighed inwardly.

The battlefield between Aokiji and Crocodile was probably several tens of meters away from Sig. Sig himself wasn't very fast, and by the time he ran over with his gun, Aokiji would probably have already defeated Crocodile.

Now, there's only one way left!

"I'm sorry, Crocdale! I promise I'll treat you better from now on!"

Sieg silently recited a phrase in his mind, gripped his sword and spear, and aimed them at Crocodile, unleashing the Thousand-Year...

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

With a loud shout, Sieg's speed increased dramatically, his legs almost becoming a blur. In a split second, he narrowly avoided several attacks and escaped the encirclement of dozens of elite officers.

Then, he shot towards Crocodile like an arrow released from a bow!

A cold glint flashed by, and the half-sword spear in Sieg's hand stabbed fiercely towards Crocodile's rear!

puff--

This thrust was incredibly swift, instantly shattering Crocodile's lower body into a cloud of flying sand, and even the ice crystal spears that were about to hit her were all pulverized by the sword light!

The half-body sword-spear that Veben transformed into was three or four meters long. After passing through Crocodile, it still had no momentum. The sword-spear slashed upwards and stabbed hard between Aokiji's chest and abdomen, completely piercing through his body!

This sword strike pierced through both Crocodile and Aokiji, with Crocodile, who was the first to be hit, having her lower body explode into a cloud of yellow sand!

Two in a row!

Crocodile's body was once again pierced through from behind by Sieg, and she was sandwiched between Sieg and Aokiji like a skewer.

"Crocodile, I protected you again."

Sieg whispered.

A blurry face appeared on the blade of the sword and spear, and you could vaguely see her face turning red.

“Mr. Sieg... this…”

This half-body sword-spear is a transformation of her Weapon-Weapon Fruit ability; it can also be seen as an extension of her body...

The spot where I just poked seems a bit off.

Upon hearing Wiburn's voice, Crocdale, now only her upper body, looked down and met Wiburn's gaze, who had pierced through her.

Her face stiffened, and the cigar she had been holding in her mouth finally fell out.

It turns out it wasn't just a string of twos...

“Sigh…” Crocodile let out a low growl filled with anger.

Her remaining intact upper body also turned into sand at that moment and disappeared on the spot.

However, the other marines' attention was not on Crocodile; their shocked gazes were fixed on Aokiji, who had been pierced through by Sieg's sword.

"Vice Admiral Aokiji was pierced through the body by Sieg's sword?"

"What a ferocious blow! Following Lieutenant General Doberman, Lieutenant General Aokiji has also been defeated by Sieg?"

"No... a penetrating wound that went right through the chest, that's probably a fatal injury!"

"That Vice Admiral Aokiji, whose strength is like a monster, actually..."

Amidst the gasps of the Marines, Higuma and Aokiji stood on the frozen ice, maintaining the posture of a sword piercing through their bodies.

"Alala... I almost died."

"Unfortunately, Sig, I already anticipated your attack!"

Aokiji, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised it and exhaled a breath of cold air. He stretched out his hands and grasped the sword that had pierced his chest.

"Frozen Moment!"

Aokiji's entire body was rapidly covered in solid ice. Then, this layer of ice spread along Aokiji's palms, causing the blade of his three- or four-meter-long half-body sword to freeze quickly, and then spread towards Sig at an extremely fast speed.

Sig was slightly startled and tried to draw his sword and spear, but he found that he couldn't, as they were completely frozen by Aokiji's ice.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the through-and-through wound in Aokiji's chest had not been in direct contact with Sig's sword or spear.

“The same technique as Katakuri…” Sigurd’s gaze sharpened.

The large hole in his chest and abdomen was not caused by Higuma's sword, but rather by Aokiji using his Observation Haki to detect the attack beforehand, and then actively activating his elemental transformation ability to create a large hole in his body, thus avoiding Higuma's sword.

While he was thinking, Aokiji's entire body had turned into a huge ice sculpture. As he turned around, the cold freezing air spread to Sieg's body, freezing most of his body completely and covering it with a thick layer of solid ice!

"They...they counter-attacked!"

"As expected of Vice Admiral Aokiji, he is a strongman with the strength of a near-Admiral. I think he is already qualified to compete for the position of Admiral!"

"As expected of Vice Admiral Aokiji!"

But at this moment, Aokiji's expression shifted slightly.

He saw that on the remaining half of Sig's body, a layer of fine, black flames suddenly burst into flame, and then spread like wildfire, quickly engulfing Sig's entire body.

Strangely, the solid ice covering half of Sig's body did not hinder the burning of the dark flames at all; in fact, it melted rapidly as the flames spread.

This wisp of black flame, like a maggot clinging to a bone, spread in the opposite direction towards Aokiji's body along the half-sword and spear that had been frozen into a long strip.

"Useless!" A stiff smile tugged at the corner of Sig's mouth, seemingly a mocking expression.

"Aokiji, I already predicted your prediction!"

Chapter 584 The Gods of Water

"Aokiji, I already predicted your prediction!"

To be honest, this statement was made by Siegfried to intimidate people.

The stiff smile on his face was actually because half of his body had been frozen by Aokiji, and his facial muscles were still stiff.

When Sieg said those words, Aokiji's pupils suddenly contracted.

Sigurd was already famous for his mastery of Observation Haki, and it is said that his Observation Haki may have even reached the point of being able to foresee the future.

It's not impossible that he anticipated Aokiji's prediction and turned the tables on him.

As a result, Aokiji's attack, which turned both of them into ice sculptures through "Frozen Moment," actually brought them closer in physical distance, making it difficult for Aokiji to dodge Sigurd's black flames.

In the short time that Aokiji was pondering, the pitch-black flames had already spread rapidly along the frozen half of his sword and spear to his body.

Aokiji's expression changed drastically. He felt the ice on his body being rapidly eroded by the dark flames, which were about to completely melt away the ice on his skin and spread to his entire body.

Seeing this, Aokiji could only quickly leap backward and push the flames away, while continuously using the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit to condense a thicker layer of ice on his body to avoid being harmed by the dark flames.

At that moment, a violent tremor came from the ice beneath Aokiji's feet, with large cracks appearing everywhere, followed by a deafening roar of waves.

Looking back, the giant waves that were once far away are now approaching Water Seven, and are about to engulf the ships on this near-shore battlefield.

Looking into the distance, the colossal waves, seemingly blotting out the sky, formed an impenetrable wall of water beneath the dim sky, casting vast shadows.

The small ice layer that the blue pheasant had previously formed was repeatedly and violently pounded by this colossal wave, which carried immense pressure, and quickly cracked and shattered with overwhelming force!

On the coastline, Tom, Grandma Kokoro, and the others watched this scene from afar, a chill creeping into their hearts.
