I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"I'll try one last time."

"Frozen time capsule!"

He exhaled a breath of cold air, placed his palm close to the ground, and a line of ice rapidly extended towards Garp, freezing the ground in its path at a visible speed.

Soon, the ground around Garp was covered by a layer of ice, and ice from all directions surged toward him, freezing him completely inside.

"I don't believe Mr. Garp can keep sleeping." Aokiji said irritably, looking at Garp trapped in the ice.

...........

Another location in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Captain Shanks! A large-scale battle has broken out in the direction of Island 13 of the Sabaody Archipelago. I've spotted the Navy fleet!"

Sniper Yasopp lowered his binoculars and said this.

"Island Number 13? I remember that place. Isn't it the island where Rayleigh and Shakky stayed at their bar?"

Shanks seemed to be deep in thought, then spoke:

"Let's go take a look together."

He came to the Sabaody Archipelago this time because of Rayleigh.

Rayleigh was strong, but he was only one person.

They strolled through the streets, heading towards Island 13.

Along the way, some residents recognized the Four Emperors and fled in panic, not even having time to pack up their stalls.

Yasopp, the pirate crew's sniper, also possesses Observation Haki, a type that allows for long-range perception. After carefully sensing the surroundings, he spoke again:

"found it."

"It's Sig's men! They're fighting the Navy again."

"Mr. Rayleigh is here too. He seems to be helping Sig against the Navy?"

Shanks relaxed slightly, then laughed and joked with the pirates.

This situation is exactly the same as when Sieg faked his death in the Sabaody Archipelago last time!

"Wait... who is that man...?"

Yasopp put down the binoculars and froze on the spot.

“Captain Shanks.” He turned to look at Shanks:

"You don't happen to have a long-lost twin brother, do you?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Shanks chuckled and dismissed it.

But as they approached the battlefield and saw the red-haired man in the distance, everyone was stunned.

"Someone is imitating my face?"

Shanks rubbed his face, finding it amusing.

"He has such good taste!"

The pirates burst into laughter, but after the laughter subsided, the first mate, Beckman, shook his head:

“That’s not funny, Shanks.”

"You are the captain after all. It's not good if someone impersonates you."

"However, it seems that you over there are with Sig and his group, so perhaps he is not an enemy."

"Is that so?" Shanks stroked his chin, but his gaze remained fixed on the other Shanks, looking somewhat dazed.

"Shanks, what are you planning to do about the guy impersonating you?" Beckman asked.

"I've heard of the Imitation Fruit. It's said that as long as the user touches someone's face, they can transform into that person. It sounds like a pretty convenient ability."

"Think carefully, when did you encounter a user of the Imitation Fruit?"

"The ability to change faces?"

Shanks's face gradually turned serious. He suddenly remembered something from a long time ago, and his eyes lit up.

"Yosbu, have you found where Senior Sig is?" he suddenly asked.

“...No, that’s strange, he doesn’t seem to be here.” Yasopp searched for a while and shook his head.

"I see, I think I understand now." Shanks chuckled.

"Beckman, you guys go first. Just treat him as if he were really me."

Beckman paused for a moment, then nodded:

"how about you?"

"I then went to... I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have passed by a street stall selling masks before, and there was something on it that looked really nice." Shanks chuckled.

He walked back along the street alone, and soon came to an unattended street stall.

A thought stirred within him. He picked up one of the panda face masks, momentarily lost in thought, and recalled events from many years ago.

It seems that Sieg has been arguing about the Pandaren ever since that banquet years ago...

"Then let's choose this one."

.........

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shanks' arrival, coupled with the overwhelming pressure from the King's Engine, made the entire battlefield almost suffocating.

Sengoku has not yet responded to Shanks' statement, and the Navy members look at each other in confusion, temporarily halting their battle, resulting in a three-way standoff.

"Is that Shanks? He's grown so much..."

Roger smiled slightly, his gaze softening beneath his sunglasses.

"Just like Sig said, it seems my straw hat is no longer with him."

"It seems that living to this era is really not bad."

"Why hasn't Sengoku made a statement yet? Doesn't he respect Shanks? Even the Five Elders have to give me face!"

Sig maintained a calm facade, his heart pounding, as he casually observed the battlefield.

The battle situation was unpredictable. As the two sides fought, he was forced to retreat further and further away, eventually ending up in the Navy's rear area, separated from the Sea Mountain Pirates by the Navy.

In other words... on this side, it's just him, "Shanks," all alone.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The sound of the Emperor's engine rang out a hundred meters away from Sieg, and its position shifted slightly as his body swayed.

This was something Sig had done to Monka: change the shape of the Wall of Silence.

Sig was originally encased in a spherical wall of silence, which covered his torso from the head down.

But after Monca made some changes, the shape of the Wall of Silence changed drastically.

A pipe about 100 meters long extends from what can be seen as a completely transparent spherical wall, and the end of the pipe is not closed.

The sound of the Emperor's engine could only travel along the pipes and could be heard in an open area 100 meters away, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the sound source.

Chapter 886 The Curtain Falls

With the help of the Silence Fruit, the location of the sound source is difficult to determine.

At the same time, since the Wall of Silence is attached to Sig, as long as his body moves slightly, the end of the 100-meter-long Wall of Silence pipe will also undulate and sway, creating the feeling that Sig is walking invisibly.

Faced with the pressure of the imperial engine and the rapidly deteriorating situation, no one had much room for thought.

Thus, Sieg plays two roles simultaneously.

Shanks, and the unseen "Sigur" himself.

There is definitely something fishy about this.

For example, Shanks, all alone without his subordinates, and Sigurd, whom he could only hear but never see...

Fortunately, bluffing has always been one of Sieg's strengths.

This is a psychological battle, and also a gamble, betting on the intimidation power of Shanks and Sigurd.

Even if Sengoku knew there was something fishy going on, he might not have dared to gamble.

Because... once the gamble is lost, the consequences would be so severe that even a naval admiral might not be able to bear them.

He walked slowly and casually toward the battlefield, getting closer and closer.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Clearly, the fact that Sengoku did not respond immediately indicated that he was also in turmoil.

"Navy, you have made your choice."

Sieg said calmly.

He plans to intensify his efforts.

He placed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and slowly pulled it upwards, the blade gleaming with a cold, metallic light.

Bang bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang!

The Emperor's engine roared, its sound like war drums, which rekindled the fighting spirit of the Sig Mountain bandits who had been given a brief respite, and they were ready for battle.

"The Warring States Marshal? What do we do?"

"Isn't that just ignoring Shanks and not responding? Isn't that disrespecting him?"

"We are not prepared to face two maritime emperors at the same time." The navy personnel were also on edge.

Zhan Guo frowned, about to speak, but then suddenly turned around again.

Click...click.

Garp, who was encased in solid ice, suddenly heard a cracking sound from the ice layer on his body, and the cracks rapidly widened and spread.
