I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

It's as if... Sig's inner thoughts have no concept of specific attack points, he just randomly slashes downwards?

"How is this possible? How could he hit me without a specific point of attack? This is not right."

Redfield's expression changed slightly.

In that instant, his body seemed to suddenly lose control, and the longsword in his hand involuntarily slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.

not only that.

The pitch-black flames surged and danced at this moment, turning the area around Sig into a raging sea of ​​fire, completely engulfing it with an imposing aura.

Frame drop power, activated!

In the instant Redfield lost control of his body, he suddenly felt the scene before him freeze.

The flickering flames suddenly paused, froze, and danced frame by frame.

Even his Observation Haki, which he was so proud of, was unable to predict what was about to happen at this moment.

By the time he came to his senses, Sieg was already right in front of him, wielding a longsword and slashing it toward his head!

Clang!

What hit my head?

Redfield barely had time for the thought to surface before the bubble of negativity hit his head.

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

The towering black flames obscured the vision of the surrounding pirates and also blocked the view of the distant Den Den Mushi (video phone), making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening within the flames.

A few seconds later.

A figure slowly emerged from the flames.

Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!

The winner is Wang Xige.

He always seemed to have that same calm and composed expression, unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, while the long sword in his hand was still dripping with blood.

Behind him, the dark flames gradually disappeared.

Redfield's eyes were lifeless as he collapsed to the ground, his hair soaked with alcohol, a far cry from his previous elegance.

"I...I'm not practicing swordsmanship anymore."

His eyes were vacant as he murmured.

......

The island ship fell silent. The pirates were dumbfounded, and no one spoke for a moment. Only the faint sound of the waves could be heard around them.

"What...what are we seeing? Are we sure we're not mistaken?"

Festa gasped as he held the microphone, even the host was shocked.

The main stage, which is some distance from the island ship, was not affected by the frame drops.

But as Sieg swung his sword down, the black flames beside him obscured their vision.

They still don't know what happened.

But what they saw before them was enough to shock them.

"The fierce battle we expected did not happen; the fight was over in an instant!"

"We just couldn't see... what exactly happened inside that strange flame?"

Just how powerful is Wang Xige's swordsmanship that he was able to defeat the solitary Red Redfield in a single blow?

The entire venue erupted in uproar.

What was thought to be a clash of titans turned into a decisive battle in the blink of an eye.

"Even more unbelievable is that Redfield, the world-renowned swordsman, seemed to be on the verge of emotional collapse in the face of such a blow, publicly declaring that he would never use a sword again..."

"Just what kind of astonishing move is the Immortal's Kneel? Why was Redfield defeated so easily? What exactly happened within the flames?"

"Is this a distortion of human nature, or a moral failing—?"

Before he could finish speaking, Festa's microphone suddenly went silent, and the big screen went dark.

"What happened? What's going on?"

Festa was furious:

"This is the most exciting moment yet! Our treasure hasn't even been revealed, how could something go wrong at this crucial time!"

He turned around angrily, only to see Vice Admiral Garp of the Navy Headquarters appear next to the video Den Den Mushi and completely destroy the device with a single punch.

"Wang Xige has actually reappeared... He's really still alive."

Garp unconsciously clenched his fist.

"Garp! Don't cause trouble, stick to the plan, and don't mess with that guy who's not part of the plan..."

Sengoku also appeared beside Garp and offered his advice.

"The navy is here!"

"Even a Navy admiral has appeared!"

The One Piece Expo site was immediately thrown into chaos.

At this time, the island ship was still in the calm zone and far from the Expo site, so no one noticed the commotion.

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

at the same time.

On the island ship that was still lingering in the doldrums.

Bang bang... bang bang...

The previously intense roar of the Emperor's engines had gradually subsided.

Sieg glanced at Redfield lying on the ground, and as the tension in his heart finally eased, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

To outsiders, his fight with Linefield seemed to have ended in an instant, with Sieg effortlessly defeating his opponent.

But Siegfried knew his own situation and was aware of the dangers involved.

The use of the Emperor Engine and the Dark Flame was all to create momentum, to make Redfield treat him with respect, rather than as some random passerby who could be easily killed with a single sword strike.

It's extremely dangerous to use a weapon that can be caught bare-handed against someone of Redfield's caliber.

This kind of control skill that forces the opponent to rush in front of you is bound to enrage them.

With Redfield's strength, it would only take him a moment to break a longsword that wasn't protected by Armament Haki.

By then, in his rage, Redfield would have no chance of dealing with Sieg, who was right in front of him, even with the help of the King's Engine.

Then there's the frame-dropping power of the Dragonborn card.

The purpose of the jet-black flames is to serve as a cool special effects background, enabling the frame-dropping effect to be activated, thereby extending Redfield's reaction time.

Finally, there's Nobita's extremely high accuracy, which allows Sig to throw bottles high into the air and make them land precisely in front of him.

The bottle is no ordinary bottle. The creation of Negative Sparkling Wine is a rare artifact that requires the cooperation of Bartholomew Kuma, Perona, and either Sigurd or Usopp.

Even if you use all your cards, it's still just gambling.

If Redfield had reacted in time, the result would have been Seager's death.

But it all came to an end.

"Too tiring. Too dangerous. Too risky."

"I will never lie again."

Sig exhaled a breath of stale air.

Who would have thought...

He, Wang Xige, worked so hard, traversing different eras and working silently behind the curtain of time, his initial purpose was simply to avoid being killed by the fifty-six emperors of later generations.

ended.

Sig sensed that the invisible causal power within his body had suddenly surged significantly.

"Causal Connection: Defeated the 56th Emperor at a past point in time, achieved. Causal Power increased by 15."

With these 10 points of causal power added, Sieg's causal power has now reached an unprecedented 24 points.

"That's too much, enough to make me die four or five times over."

A relaxed smile appeared on Sieg's lips.

"Achievement Mission: Headshot the Four Emperors (56/56) Completed, and you will receive one chance to draw an S-SS level card."

With a thought, Sieg sank into the sea of ​​stars.

He clasped his hands together and said, "I hope I'm alright."

He prayed that he would draw a powerful enough trump card to survive against the "current" 56 Emperor.

In the sea of ​​stars, endless starlight converges, and a golden card suddenly appears.

Golden light rippled out like water, and the card surface suddenly flipped over.

What appeared before Sig was a meme of a Shiba Inu's head that was incredibly quirky.
