I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"I've witnessed your battles, and your strength is quite impressive."

"You don't seem to be a member of Roger's Pirates, do you? How about joining my crew?"

"With your abilities, you could be the first mate."

Wald's eyes gleamed with a strange light.

He lacked truly strong men under his command, while Sieg's performance was quite to his liking.

Sieg paused for a moment, then immediately refused.

"I refuse."

Wald was one of his headshot targets, how could he possibly be his subordinate?

This refusal, however, emboldened Wald.

"I knew it. Someone like you wouldn't agree so easily."

Wald laughed loudly, twisted his neck, making a cracking sound, and gradually clenched his fist.

"Let's have a fight. If I win, you'll become my subordinate, how about it?"

Another muscle-brained idiot...

Sieg sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat troubled.

Judging from Wald's words and actions, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who can be persuaded with words, so this battle is inevitable.

Fortunately, Wald had always been Sieg's perceived rival, so he wasn't entirely unprepared.

"A duel between pirates?"

Sig did not immediately agree, but instead glanced down the mountain at the pirates who were about to arrive.

This made Wald frown.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of guy who likes to fight outnumbered."

"Since I said I wanted you to be my first mate, I'll beat you until you're completely convinced."

Wald chuckled: "This is a battle between pirates, so use whatever means you have!"

Chapter 806 Catching a Lightsaber Barehanded at 10x Speed

"Really? I don't believe it."

Sig said directly:

"If we lose too badly later, given your status as the World Destroyer Vald, you might have your subordinates take action and leave me here permanently."

"And I, who am no longer able to fight, may not be able to escape your clutches."

“Even if you don’t do this, your subordinates might not think the same way…” Sig said slowly.

When powerful individuals are engaged in fierce combat, their attention is focused on each other, making a sneak attack potentially successful.

Luffy couldn't dodge the poison needles, and Marco the Phoenix was once handcuffed with sea stone by Onigumo, almost causing a disaster.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Wald muttered something, then turned to look at the pirates who were approaching from afar:

"You all better watch out, this is a one-on-one duel between pirates. If you interfere, I won't let you off the hook."

"Yes, Captain Wald."

Although Bingjack and the others were surprised, they would not disobey Captain Wald's orders.

Wald's style of doing things was unbridled and reckless, and it was not surprising that he did anything.

"Is the opponent that powerful swordsman who defeated Barrett?"

"He is indeed very strong, but Captain Wald is impeccable in terms of strength and speed... Barrett, the user of the Fusion Fruit, may be able to compete with Captain Wald in terms of destructive power, but if she can't keep up in speed, no matter how strong her destructive power is, it's meaningless!"

The cadres, on the other hand, were very confident.

Wald's Momo-Momo Fruit allows him to unleash astonishing speed and power in a short period of time, propelling him into the ranks of top-tier powerhouses.

Even top-tier martial arts experts like Marine Hero Garp, after multiple close-quarters battles against Wald in his explosive state, failed to defeat him.

No matter how strong the enemy... even if Vald can't defeat them, his burst speed should be enough to escape.

Of the group, only White Dove's eyes flickered, landing thoughtfully on Sieg.

"So, are you satisfied now?"

Wald said patiently.

He used to be reckless and impulsive, killing even Celestial Dragons without hesitation. Before, he wouldn't have wasted any words with Sig.

But after realizing the weakness of his subordinates and the gap between himself and Roger and Shiki, his thinking began to change.

Seeing that Sieg seemed to want to say something more, Wald was already getting impatient.

The long sword at his waist was drawn from its sheath and held in his hand, growing rapidly at an astonishing speed.

"100x damage!"

With the giant sword in hand, Vald gripped the hilt, which was thicker than a pillar, and roared as he slashed down fiercely at Sieg, casting a massive shadow over the ground.

Wald showed no mercy and made no attempt to test the waters; his first strike was powerful enough to cleave a warship in two.

"This is a Devil Fruit that's like a bug... It suddenly conjured up a weapon the size of a giant."

"But...this doesn't make sense. Where did this extra mass come from?"

As the giant sword slashed down at him, a flaming laser sword appeared out of thin air in Sieg's hand once again.

The giant blade cleaved down with tremendous force, and the biting wind made it almost impossible for Sieg to breathe.

The power of this strike was enough to split the earthen hill beneath their feet; it wouldn't be hard to imagine.

Although his mind was racing, a strong sense of danger made his heart beat faster.

Even with the acceleration of the Emperor Engine, Sieg could not completely avoid such an attack.

As he barely dodged the giant blade's edge, Sieg's flaming laser sword also sliced ​​through the blade as he ran.

The laser sword's blade is a high-temperature laser without a physical form, so when it comes into contact with the giant sword, there is no tangible sensation of cutting into something.

[The pseudoscience killer—a lightsaber sharper than Occam's razor, capable of correcting and damaging supernatural entities that contradict Earth's science.]

boom!

The earth and rocks crumbled, and a huge crack appeared where the giant sword landed, as if this strike had split the mountain peak beneath its feet in two.

But at the same time...

Half of the giant sword's blade detached from the blade and fell into the newly formed crack, quickly shrinking back to its normal shape.

Wald's face darkened.

The giant sword in his hand had also returned to its original size, but there was a smooth cut on the blade, as if it had been cut open by something very sharp, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

This was not the clash between two powerful forces he had anticipated.

The two exchanged blows, but his sword was easily chipped by the opponent... This was hardly a sign of evenly matched strength.

"Although I didn't use Armament Haki... it seems you have a very sharp sword."

Wald's gaze fell on the lightsaber in Sig's hand, and he became more cautious.

He crouched down, grabbed a handful of pebbles from the ground, and threw them directly at Sig.

"10x shotgun!"

Tiny pebbles burst into stones in mid-air and hurtled rapidly toward Sig.

In response, Sieg blocked the attack while dodging, using his lightsaber to parry.

When these pebbles touch the lightsaber, they are not only split in two by the sharp lightsaber, but they also quickly lose their increased size and speed, turning into ordinary gravel.

But while Sieg was dodging the shrapnel,

"10x speed!"

In an instant, Wald's speed increased tenfold, appearing behind Sigurd at a speed imperceptible even to those with Observation Haki.

"No matter how sharp a sword is, if it's not fast enough and can't cut anyone, it's meaningless!"

Wald sneered, clenched his fist, hardened it with dark Armament Haki, and then punched Sig hard in the back.

"10x speed punch!"

A surging fist wind swept across!

In that instant, Sieg's hair stood on end. He hadn't seen Wald's movements at all; he could only feel the whistling wind behind him.

Bang bang bang bang!

In that split second, the only reaction he could make was to slightly twitch his wrist, controlling the flaming laser sword in his hand to slash forward.

In that instant.

Just as his fist was about to smash into Sieg, Wald's expression changed; his body seemed to... have lost control!

Whoosh!

With lightning speed, he lunged at Sig from behind, kneeling halfway down as his Armament Haki-hardened hands lashed out at the laser sword in Sig's hand!

Kneeling at 10x speed!

Sieg was completely caught off guard by this sudden change. He saw Vald's tall figure flash from behind him to in front of him, and then... catch the lightsaber with both hands!

Even the dark Armament Haki couldn't stop the sharpness of the high-temperature laser sword. The smell of burning wafted out, flesh tore open, and blood was burned and evaporated by the high temperature before it could flow out.

Chapter 807 As long as I kneel fast enough, no one will see.

Sieg didn't react in time, but Wald was awakened by the sharp pain in his palm and reacted in time.

Before anyone could see clearly, his figure flickered again, and he retreated to a dozen steps away, looking at Sieg with an ugly expression.

The sudden, 10x speed kneeling was something that neither Higuma nor the other pirates could react to, but he himself knew exactly what he had done.
