I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The Roger Pirates had already returned to their ship and sailed away through this rare sea storm.

The pirate ship made of Adam Wood was quite sturdy and far more stable than other pirate ships during this storm.

On the contrary, Shiki the Golden Lion's fleet suffered considerable damage in the great tsunami, with half of the fleet sinking to the bottom of the sea.

............

Above the clouds.

"We're on the same side, don't say a word—"

The Dragon King's body trembled violently on the cloud, convulsing as if electrified, almost knocking Sig off.

Sig stood right on its head, and the sound was coming out through a loudspeaker, so its reaction was no less intense than that of the Golden Lion.

Fortunately, not long after, the golden lion was hit hard on the head by the ship's rudder.

Seeing this, Sieg quickly stopped singing as well.

I glanced at the Flame Laser Sword, whose skill had been canceled. Its battery was now down to 66%, about two-thirds.

The lightsaber disappeared from his hand and transformed back into a card.

Sieg then patted the listless dragon king between his legs:

"We don't need to fight anymore."

"Now that the crisis is over, let's get on Roger's ship. Let's make one last push."

The Dragon King let out a mournful cry that was difficult to pronounce:

"I can't go on anymore, you go on the way yourself."

As he spoke, the Dragon King's body gradually became transparent, seemingly indicating that he was about to cancel the summoning ahead of schedule.

Sig was startled and pressed down hard on the Dragon King's long horns:

"Don't leave now... what if I get struck by lightning?"

Sieg has witnessed firsthand the power of the New World Storm.

"Heh..." The Dragon King suddenly perked up at this moment, and smiled:

"Have you finally realized the true power of this Dragon King?"

"Without me, the Dragon King, you will have no place to stand, whether in the clouds or on the sea below!"

"Yeah...you're really strong."

Sig started patting the dragon's backside.

However, the Dragon King seemed to be affected by the Fiery Laser Sword and the mental pollution he had just experienced.

Unable to fly at high speeds, it just lay listlessly on the clouds, panting slightly.

The Dragon King only regained some strength after the surrounding thunder gradually subsided.

Sig once again steered the Dragon King into the clouds and looked down at the sea.

The Flying Pirates' fleet suffered severe damage, with numerous broken planks, lifeboats, and other debris floating on the sea.

Roger's pirate ship, on the other hand, has vanished without a trace.

"I haven't boarded the ship yet!"

"...Never mind, Roger and his crew's original goal was Thor Island."

"I'll just wait on Thor Island."

Sig thought to himself as he gazed at Thor's Isle in the distance.

The thunderclouds that had been looming over the island have been dispersed, and the island is now enveloped in a long-awaited tranquility.

Of course, this tranquility is only temporary.

Thunderclouds will continue to form on the island, just like the glaciers of Punk Hazard in the future.

..........

The other side of the sea.

A fleet that had come from the Navy Headquarters temporarily stopped at sea.

Garp and Sengoku stood side by side, their faces grave as they gazed at the dark clouds and storms that blanketed the distant sea.

"I really don't know whether to say we were lucky or unlucky."

Warring States period:

"It looks like a major storm has broken out in the sea area where the Golden Lion made contact with Roger. We can't get any closer."

Navy warships are more robust than most pirate ships, but no one is willing to risk their life against the storms of the New World.

Garp nodded, glancing at Aokiji behind him:

“In this situation, even Kuzan’s power would be difficult to resist. It seems we have to stop for now.”

As soon as Garp finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and his gaze locked onto the distant sea ahead.

There, several pirates were clinging to broken planks, being swept ashore by the waves.

A moment later.

These survivors from the Flying Pirates who fell into the sea recounted the details of the naval battle.

In this naval battle, the Flying Pirates initially held a significant advantage, almost pushing Roger to the brink of defeat.

But at the end of this naval battle, the Roger Pirates, who should have been surrounded by enemies, were saved by a sudden sea storm.

The rare sea storm not only severely damaged the Golden Lion, but also destroyed half of its massive fleet, which it had been preparing for a long time.

The Roger Pirates, who were originally on the verge of defeat, escaped safely, and this famous naval battle ended with both sides suffering heavy losses.

At the height of his power, Shiki the Golden Lion suffered a crushing defeat. The massive fleet he had built was reduced to half its original size, his ambition to rule the world was buried by the waves, and his long-planned Strong World project was aborted.

In the eyes of later scholars, this naval battle was similar to the "Battle of God Valley" more than a decade earlier, and was an epoch-making battle.

If it weren't for this sudden natural disaster, the Golden Lion, with its overwhelming advantage, might have roared across the seas and conquered the world.

He wasn't the terminally ill Pirate King Roger, nor would he have started the Great Pirate Era.

At that time, Shiki the Golden Lion will usher in a new era under his own control.

But all of this was destroyed in a sudden natural disaster.

Just like more than a decade ago, the "Battle of God Valley" completely ended the era of Rocks.

The name of a certain man remains hidden behind the curtain of history, unknown to anyone.

"Do not approach that dangerous area for now..."

After pondering for a moment, the Warring States period issued the following order:

"Continue the search along the edge of this sea area... arrest these pirates who have fallen into the sea, and perhaps we can catch other big fish."

..........

Meanwhile, in another direction in this sea area.

The Vald pirate ship also witnessed this rare storm.

"It seems the war between Shiki and Roger is over, but I wonder who the victor was..."

First mate Bingjack read aloud.

"It doesn't matter who the winner is." Wald waved his hand dismissively.

"Roger is going to Thor Island, right? The winner should appear on that island. Let's go to that island and wait for him."

"I am the ultimate victor of this era."

Chapter 803 The Spiritual Successors of Wang Xige and Wang Luojie

Many years ago... about 23 years ago, Sieg arrived at Thor's Island.

As far as I can remember, before Thor died, there were no thunderclouds covering the entire island of Thor Island; instead, the weather was sunny and calm.

After the Dragon King moved the thunderclouds away, the island enjoyed a long-awaited peace, and the sun shone through the clear skies once more.

The Dragon King's one-hour summoning period has ended.

Sig stood a hundred meters above the island, looking down at it.

Looking down from here, one can still vaguely see the palace ruins from the great battle 23 years ago, as well as a huge handprint deeply imprinted in the soil.

The handprint was extremely large, almost the size of a mountain. However, over the years, it had gradually grown overgrown with weeds, and it was difficult to see the shape of the handprint without an aerial view during a battle.

Sig landed on the ground, found a small hill, and sat down there, ready to quietly wait for the Roger Pirates to arrive.

Looking from here, the storm in the distance is still ongoing, though it has subsided considerably... The remnants of the Golden Lion's fleet are also conducting rescue operations on the sea. It seems they do not intend to land on Raijin Island, but rather plan to leave.

"But where did Roger and the others go?"

Sieg was a little confused.

He could find Shiki's fleet, but he couldn't find Roger's pirate crew.

"If I had known this would happen, should I have given my Vivre Card fragment to Roger beforehand, or taken one of his Vivre Card fragments?"

Sieg wandered aimlessly, and during the tedious wait, he casually took out a Life Card fragment from his inventory.

This is a small glass bottle containing Sieg's own Vivre Card, which was originally found on Lox's body.

But soon, Sieg's expression changed slightly.

When a Life Card is in your inventory, it lies quietly at the bottom of a glass bottle, just like an ordinary piece of paper, and does not interact with other Life Card fragments.

But when Sieg took it out, the Vivre Card inside the bottle slowly rose into the air and floated towards the bottle opening.

This surprised Sieg.

what's the situation?

He looked up in astonishment, gazing at the thick sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

The Life Card is pointing upwards?
