I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Now, Sieg is in a difficult situation.

He lowered his head and looked down at Stussy, who was kneeling in front of him. The woman's face suddenly showed panic and a pitiful look, which made Sieg feel a chill in his heart.

Even now, Sieg still can't tell from her appearance whether the woman's facial expressions are genuine or just a brilliant performance.

If Sieg hadn't overheard Stussy's conversation with CP0 using a black Den Den Mushi, he would have doubted whether he was overthinking things.

With the revolutionary army absent, Sieg had no effective means to subdue Stusi.

"It's time for my least favorite part: the acting showdown."

Sieg felt a chill run down his spine as a very dangerous idea popped into his head, a reckless flirtation with death.

Just imagining it in his mind sends chills down his spine.

However, without the help of the Revolutionary Army's strong members, this was the only path Sig was left to choose from.

He was caught bare-handed by the blade, and could only suppress Stussy for a short time.

If they simply sit and wait to die, both of them will be freed from their immobilized state at the same time. Given Stussy's reaction speed, Sieg will definitely die on the spot instantly.

"If this continues, I will definitely die, I will definitely die, this car is definitely going to overturn."

"This woman is terrifying, and her acting skills are so good, I have absolutely no hope!"

"I'm definitely going to die this time!"

Sieg once again confronted his inner fears and decisively succumbed, allowing the fear to completely engulf him.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The Emperor Engine was immediately activated, and the dull, drum-like heartbeat pierced the long night.

Stussy, kneeling on the ground, widened her eyes slightly, and the fear on her pretty face deepened.

Stussy wasn't unfamiliar with that voice.

This marked the beginning of Stussy's nightmare.

During the great fire in the Kingdom of Goa, this strange sound rang out from Sig's body.

At the time, Stussy thought that Sieg was just bluffing.

Then Charmaco Saint nearly died, and she herself ended up in her current awkward situation because she underestimated Sieg.

What is Sig planning to do?

The look of fear on Stussy's face grew increasingly intense.

However, Sieg wasn't much better off than her in his heart.

"It's over, it's come to this, I'm doomed."

Sieg glanced at the still quiet night scene around him out of the corner of his eye, and made a decision in his heart.

With a raised sword, he had already defused the possibility of being caught bare-handed by a blade, and sheathed the sword at his waist.

At this moment, Stussy was completely free of any constraints.

Bang bang bang bang!

Sig's heart pounded wildly again, and the loudness and frequency of the Emperor Engine far exceeded before, the muffled sound spreading rapidly through the night.

Sieg had not learned any proper hypnosis techniques, and no matter how hard he tried to hypnotize himself, the effect was far less than expected, and he really pushed himself to the brink of death.

Only in this way can the loudness and effect of the Emperor Engine be maximized.

This was the only chance of survival that Sieg had come up with.

"Such a commotion, you couldn't have missed it, could you, Dragon?"

Sig roared inwardly.

Either he successfully intimidates Stussy, preventing her from making any rash moves, and then uses the sound of the Emperor's Engine to attract the attention of the Revolutionary Army's powerful members.

However, it now seems that Sieg has made the right bet.

Sieg suddenly released the restraints, completely catching Stussy off guard. For a moment, she remained kneeling on the ground, but a sense of unease arose in her heart.

"Is he going to unleash the Infernal Blazing Wave Cannon on me? Can I block it this time?"

Stussy had absolutely no confidence.

She had already experienced Sieg's many tricks before. This time, he stopped without warning, seemingly without any warning, yet a terrifying aura emanated from him.

"Should we test the waters with a finger gun, or...?"

Hesitantly, her body trembled slightly, and her gaze turned to a ship in the distance.

Within her sight, a figure wearing a dark green cloak quietly appeared in the night.

The dragon's expression was inexplicably complicated.

He had just sensed the sound of Sieg's Emperor engine and ran over to check, only to find Sieg and Stussy on the deck in the dead of night, one standing and the other half-kneeling, with a bunch of... octopus, squid, crabs, and lobsters next to them?

What kind of amazing way of playing is this?

Dragon decided not to think about it any further, pretended nothing had happened, and disappeared into the night at an even faster speed.

Sig: "........."

Everything seemed to have returned to its starting point.

"Never mind, in the end, it still comes down to my superb acting skills."

Sieg sighed inwardly, suppressing his nervousness, and looked directly at Stussy in front of him.

"Isn't it just that captivating death stare? I'm an expert at that!"

The two stood still, their gazes meeting silently in the air.

Bang bang bang bang!

The oppressive feeling that sent chills down his spine returned; the air seemed to solidify, and Stusi, standing right next to him, felt his breathing become slightly difficult.

Stussy tensed up, his gaze turning cold, ready for battle.

Sieg didn't move, just stared silently, seemingly completely unconcerned about the coldness in Stussy's eyes, his gaze as calm as ever.

The next second, his deep, cold voice rang out:

"Go and cook all this seafood."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sieg turned around and headed towards the cabin.

He walked very slowly, very slowly. He walked away, his back to Stussy, completely unsuspecting, seemingly without the slightest bit of defense.

It was as if what happened that night was just a trivial matter.

What Stussy couldn't see was that Sieg, who was walking slowly with his back to her, was actually digging his fingernails into his thigh, barely daring to breathe.

It wasn't that he didn't want to hurry, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead, making it impossible for him to walk fast.

Chapter 85 Kuina, Who Changed Fate

Stusi watched Sieg's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and she stood quietly in place for a long time.

The scene seemed strangely familiar to her.

"Are you trying to lure me into launching a sneak attack again?"

Stussy muttered to himself.

The first time she met Sigurd was when she hid on a pirate crew and tried to ambush him, but the result was disastrous.

After boarding the ship, Sieg had said he would give her freedom, but when he actually ran away, he pulled this strange stunt.

She wouldn't be fooled a third time by the same trick.

Stussy was on guard, Sieg's two sentences still echoing in her ears.

“Stusi, what just happened was all a warning to you. I’m just disappointed that you made me wait so long in the night.”

"Go and cook all this seafood."

His tone was nonchalant, as if he didn't take Stusi's escape seriously at all.

The so-called punishment was simply cooking a seafood meal.

This only confused Stussy more, and a question echoed in her mind.

How much of her actions did Sieg know?

Has Sieg discovered her clandestine conversations with CP0 officials?

If so, how could the punishment be so lenient?

After a moment's thought, Stussy looked down at a pile of seafood at her feet.

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

The journey back to the captain's cabin wasn't long, but Sieg struggled to walk it.

By the time he finally collapsed onto the bed, he had almost no strength left.

This adventure served as a wake-up call for Sieg.

Unlike before, this time Sigmund took the initiative to stir up trouble, thinking that with the Revolutionary Army as his ally, he could easily boost his compatibility.

I opened the system panel and saw that the compatibility of Li Jing's card had increased to 21% this time, and that was all.

"When I first met Garp, I couldn't even stand up."

"This time, I actually managed to walk back on my own two feet?"

"Having gone through so much, does that mean my courage has unknowingly grown? That's a step backward!"

Sieg couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

In addition, what Stussy reported to CP0 officials also made Sieg feel uneasy.

Perhaps because of its connection with the Revolutionary Army, CP0 plans to play the long game and not take action against Sig for the time being.

But in the long run, Sieg's situation is even more dangerous.

However, what terrified Sieg the most was Stussy, who had already boarded the ship.
