I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Chapter 653 Immortal

Deep within Thor's palace.

Golden sword lights flashed rapidly, slicing through the walls blocking its path, and then the golden lion floated forward swiftly.

"Cloud Fruit... We can't let this fall into other people's hands again."

"One troublesome enemy like a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user is enough. My future Flying Pirates will soar through the skies..."

A look of apprehension flashed across Shiki the Golden Lion's face.

As the user of the Float-Float Fruit, he should be the master of the sky, able to defy gravity and move freely in the sky with extreme agility, which is a great advantage of his fruit ability.

However, if they encounter an enemy in the future that can manipulate lightning and weather, this advantage may turn into a disadvantage.

As the golden lion floated rapidly, it used its Observation Haki to quickly sense the surroundings and soon locked onto the direction of the treasure vault deep within the palace.

"Hahaha, found it."

The Golden Lion laughed loudly, then cleaved another wall in two with a single sword stroke, before walking through the hole in the wall into the treasure vault.

The vault contained many treasures, including piles of gold coins and various antiques.

The Golden Lion's gaze, however, fell upon a small, already opened box in a corner of the treasure vault.

The Devil Fruit in the box has white cloud-like patterns on its surface. Judging from its appearance, it is very likely to be the Logia-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit!

The golden lion smiled slightly, then darted forward and reached out to snatch the box.

But at this time.

But from the side, another hand reached out and punched the golden lion's hand directly. The force of the punch produced a crisp sound, catching the golden lion off guard and sending it flying backward two or three meters.

"Golden Lion... or should I call you Golden Hedgehog?"

A slightly mocking voice rang out.

The newcomer was a burly man over three meters tall, with short black hair, a rather imposing inverted triangle physique, well-defined muscles, and a healthy wheat-colored complexion.

"Shiki, you're already a Devil Fruit user. This fruit is useless to you, so it's mine."

The burly, black-haired man said coldly.

"Enough with the nonsense, Hale the Undead. I heard you survived having your head twisted off. You're an ability user too, right?"

Shiki the Golden Lion met him head-on, showing no sign of backing down and displaying no less imposing presence.

But I had a little worry in my heart.

Hale the Undead is one of the most famous pirates who recently joined the Rocks Pirates after hearing about their reputation.

As for Shiki the Golden Lion, he was brutally beaten by Thor Lucien when he ascended into the sky, and he is still injured.

"Enough with the nonsense. You just want to steal my fruit? Then pay with your life."

The two men let out a low growl at the same time and lunged at each other, starting to fight fiercely.

...........

at the same time.

High above, Thor Lucien raised his hammer, which crackled with countless bolts of lightning, turning it a deep red-hot.

Then, jet-black Armament Haki swirled around it, causing the crimson iron hammer to once again gleam with a cold black light.

Lucien gripped the iron hammer, his figure transforming once again into a bolt of lightning, wielding the hammer as he descended from the sky.

boom!

In the blink of an eye, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and a deafening roar resounded in the ears of Sig and the others.

Thor Lucien slammed his hammer down, and the ground of the sacrificial hall cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns as he struck it, before collapsing and sinking more than half a meter.

Behind Thor Lucien, the thunderclouds that had enveloped the hall had been torn open, revealing a shockingly large hole.

This time, his body passed directly through Zeus's body, and the red-hot iron hammer almost split Zeus's body in two.

"Mother------"

Zeus let out a mournful cry, and his newly expanded body shrank rapidly once again, finally burrowing into Charlotte Linlin's pocket and trembling.

Lucien ignored Zeus, who was terrified, and fixed his gaze on the baby in Sieg's arms.

"Pirate, hand over that baby to me."

Lucien said in a deep voice, his deep voice like thunder, making Sieg's ears ring.

That sharp gaze made Sieg feel like he had a thorn in his back, his scalp tingling, and the Emperor Engine throbbed slightly.

"I'm going to die... This baby is a hot potato. If he stays in my hands any longer, I'll die too!"

"Let's leave it to Whitebeard!"

Sieg took a step forward, but instead of handing the child to Lucien, he turned around.

"Newgate-----"

Sieg shouted, handing the baby girl to Newgate.

Newgate reacted quickly, taking the child from him with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

“Don’t worry, I understand,” Newgate’s deep voice rang out.

"Wang Xige, I knew you weren't an ordinary pirate."

"I'll take this child away immediately, to prevent her from being caught in the crossfire of your battle with Lucien!"

Before he finished speaking, Newgate's tall body leaped up and ran quickly away from the palace.

By the time Sieg reacted, Newgate had already vanished...

Suddenly, only Sieg, Thor Lucien, and Charlotte Linlin remained in the sacrificial hall.

The Sigians were dumbfounded.

If it weren't for Whitebeard's thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his emphasis on righteousness, Sig would have really thought that Whitebeard was using words to provoke him and then taking the opportunity to escape.

"interesting."

The lightning crackled and popped incessantly, and Lucien's thunderous voice rang out once more.

Sig turned around stiffly, only to see Thor Lucien staring intently at him with his electric eyes.

"Aren't you...aren't you going to chase after them?" Sig whispered.

Thor Lucien shook his head slightly.

"None of you will escape; it's just a matter of who dies first."

After speaking, Lucien looked directly at Sieg, and a hint of approval appeared in his eyes, which were usually filled with electric light.

"It's been a long time since I've encountered a pirate who dares to confront me. You're truly a man of honor."

"So... I'll kill you first."

"Thunder God Lucien whispered."

Sig: ......

Boom!Boom!

The Emperor's engine throbbed a little faster.

Lucien's performance was completely different from Enel's in later years. Not only was his mastery of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit impressive, but his physical skills were also clearly very strong. With the combination of the fruit and his physical skills, his speed was almost like teleportation.

Such fast-moving martial arts masters are the enemies that Sieg fears most.

To Sieg, the attack power of these top-tier warriors on the high seas was roughly the same, regardless of who was stronger or weaker.

Anyway, he couldn't withstand it all at once.

However, this enemy, whose speed is almost instantaneous, is more than enough to prevent Sieg from using any fancy abilities and instantly destroy him.

Chapter 654 Thor's Hammer

Boom!Boom!

Amidst his pounding heartbeat, a series of thoughts flashed through Sieg's mind as he rapidly devised a solution.

The next moment, a bottle appeared in Sieg's hand.

“Then, Thor.” Though his heart was pounding, Sieg remained calm on the surface and said:

"Before you kill me, would you mind letting me have a sip of the farewell drink to liven things up?"

Sieg smiled faintly.

In the collapsed hall, Sieg held a wine bottle in his hand and stood opposite Lucien, who was surrounded by countless electric sparks and looked as majestic as a god.

The crackling and flashing lightning illuminated his handsome face, and a faint smile appeared on Sieg's lips, exuding an air of indifference to life and death.

With such a face, smiling faintly as he uttered those words, even Thor Lucien's murderous intent faltered slightly, and he restrained the lightning in his hand, not making a move for a moment.

Meanwhile, Charlotte Linlin stared intently at Sieg, completely mesmerized.

It felt like a little girl inside her was screaming, "He's so handsome!"

She saw Sieg raise the bottle and gulp down the liquor.

The cloudy wine dripped from the corner of his mouth, wetting the front of his shirt, which slightly diminished his handsome and otherworldly demeanor, but added a touch of the bold and unrestrained spirit of a pirate.

At last.

A bear paw bubble was put into Sieg's mouth.

This bottle of wine is one of ten bottles of Negative Bear Paw Sparkling Wine brought by Sigurd, created by combining the abilities of Perona, the user of the Spirit-Spirit Fruit, and Bartholomew Kuma, the user of the Paw-Paw Fruit.

Sig's first move was to use drinking as an excuse to secretly apply a buff.

Negative bubbles are a debuff to enemies, but for Sig, they can evoke inner fear from negative emotions, causing the Emperor Engine to overclock and increase his speed and power.

Sig's speed is far inferior to Thor's; only by overclocking the Emperor Engine can he gain a sliver of hope.

"Unfortunately, that bottle of ten times more negative sparkling wine was used on Kizaru."

Sieg thought to himself that it was a pity.
