I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Only these three people remained standing before the golden lion.

"Sigurd? You're here too?" Only then did the Golden Lion notice Sigurd. His eyes narrowed dangerously, filled with murderous intent.

Chapter 903 Ah Ling

Upon seeing Sieg, the Golden Lion's eyes narrowed dangerously, his emotions momentarily complicated.

For the Golden Lion, both Sig and King Sig were figures who greatly influenced his life.

Upon arriving at Raijin Island, Shiki was defeated by King Sig, the referee, and obtained the Cloud-Cloud Fruit from him.

The second time they went to Raijin Island, which is known in later years as the Battle of Edd War, it was also Higuma who interfered midway, causing the Flying Pirates, who had a great advantage, to be defeated and have an extra ship's wheel on their heads.

Sig, on the other hand, personally destroyed his Strong World plan and then gave him the Angel Fruit...

Several of the most significant events in his life were related to Sieg...

Upon reflection, this left the Golden Lion with an unyielding resentment.

"Don't rush to deal with him... there are quite a few enemies," the Golden Lion thought to himself.

Although he was proud, he wasn't so arrogant as to provoke the strangely powerful Sigurd when facing Whitebeard and Roger.

Golden Lion, his face grim, turned his attention back to Roger and Whitebeard, with towering waves of lion heads behind him, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Faced with this scene of natural disaster, one gets the illusion that the world is about to be destroyed.

"What a grand welcoming ceremony, Golden Lion."

Roger raised his hand, gripped his sword, and amidst the swirling Armament Haki, slashed fiercely at the lightning bolt in front of him.

A powerful burst of Armament Haki emanated from his body, carving a shocking ravine into the earth. Before even touching the electric snake, he cleaved it and the sword light in two, the dazzling electric light as bright as day.

"Golden Lion, you have quite the imposing presence," Whitebeard said calmly, clenching his fists.

Two thick, muscular arms bulged, and destructive shockwaves gathered in his fists, which then slammed into the air on either side of his body with a powerful punch.

Click, click!

The air shattered like glass, but invisible shockwaves spread rapidly through the air.

Rumble! Rumble!

Amidst a rumbling, thunderous sound, the towering water wall surrounding the entire island shattered completely, and the waves of Lion's Head broke into large and small splashes, with water droplets floating everywhere, as if a torrential rain had fallen.

Seeing this, the Golden Lion remained indifferent, a cold smile still lingering on his lips.

"Whitebeard, you are too arrogant."

Golden Lion gave Whitebeard a deep look and pointed.

The water droplets and raindrops that were scattering everywhere suddenly stopped falling and floated quietly in the air.

The Golden Lion suddenly recalled several embarrassing moments from before.

During the Battle of Eitwall, he temporarily lost his abilities and fell from the sky, only to be swallowed by the waves.

Long ago, during the struggle for the Angel Fruit at Sabaody Archipelago, he was also pulled into the sea by some inexplicable force...

"Even the strongest have weaknesses, and that is the secret to overcoming the strong with the weak."

The Golden Lion glanced at Sig silently, then snapped his fingers lightly.

"Water Mountain!"

In that instant, countless suspended water droplets and waves converged into dozens or even hundreds of tall, transparent water mountains that floated down from above, watching the white-bearded figure swoop down.

While manipulating the seawater, he also brandished his twin swords and charged towards Roger.

"Four-Sword Style: Storm!"

At this moment, his feet transformed into ice crystal longswords, and his whole body spun in the air like a top. The four swords in his hands and feet alternately slashed out surging sword light, like a storm raging endlessly.

"Shiki, your legs?"

Roger was slightly taken aback.

He raised his sword to parry the golden lion's attack, but was slightly flustered.

During the ten years without legs, Shiki developed a technique that used his legs to kick out sword energy, while the Float-Float Fruit allowed him to defy gravity and fly freely, making them a perfect match.

Golden Lion not only gained a second ability, but also mastered the Four-Sword Style swordsmanship, became 12 years younger, and removed the ship's wheel from his head.

He was very familiar with Roger's attack moves, but Roger was not, and was momentarily flustered.

"Seawater?"

Whitebeard remained calm. He looked up at the dozens of water-covered mountains descending from the sky, clenched his fist again, and slammed it down.

Crack... Boom!

An invisible shockwave spread rapidly through the air, and dozens of water mountains flying in mid-air shattered into large chunks of water droplets that scattered in all directions.

Even more, several water mountains dispersed on their own before Whitebeard made his move, turning into large and small water masses that fell from the sky.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the Golden Lion was now fighting Roger with his feet forming swords, his body tumbling up and down, while he was also distracted by manipulating the water droplets to get closer.

"Ok?"

Whitebeard's expression changed slightly. He clenched his fists again and unleashed a barrage of punches, shattering the newly formed water mountain into fragments. The terrifying power caused the earth to tremble and the water mountain to crack.

But the surrounding moisture grew even thicker, and clouds descended from the sky, enveloping everything.

The essence of clouds is a mixture of countless tiny ice crystals and water droplets.

The Cloud-Cloud Fruit's power can also be extended to allow clouds to recombine into water droplets or ice crystals.

Whitebeard possessed terrifying strength, and with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he could easily tear the earth apart and create tsunamis.

However, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power is not invincible. It can shatter waves hundreds of times over the ubiquitous fluids of seawater and clouds, but it can never completely annihilate water droplets or clouds.

"combine!"

As the golden lion clasped his hands together, the countless shattered water droplets around him once again converged and trapped Whitebeard within them.

This is a transparent water mountain over a hundred meters high, with a jelly-like shape. However, the white-bearded man is deeply submerged in the middle of the sea, and the Murakumogiri sword has slipped from his hand, drifting in the sea with its master.

Seastone and the sea are fatal weaknesses that ability users can never overcome.

Whether it's Big Mom, Golden Lion, or Whitebeard, it's all the same: even the strongest Devil Fruit user will become exhausted and drown if they fall into the sea, unable to escape.

This is an important lesson that the Golden Lion has learned.

"Golden Lion, do you dare to be distracted while fighting me?"

Roger let out a low growl, and the longsword in his hand moved with lightning speed. The sharp sword light flashed past and directly shattered the ice crystal longsword that the golden lion was using to block, before landing on his body.

Clang!

The golden lion's body was split in two by this cut, but no blood was drawn from the wound.

Soon his two halves of his body disintegrated into white clouds, then retreated dozens of meters and reassembled into a human shape.

"Observation Haki for prediction, plus Logia-type elementalization to dodge my sword... Wait, you have another Devil Fruit ability?"

Roger was momentarily stunned, as this overturned his understanding of Devil Fruits.

There has never been a dual-power user in the world before, and even the Pirate King has seen one.

He had sailed the seas for decades and even became the Pirate King. There was nothing on the high seas he hadn't seen... but this was something he truly had never seen before.

"Roger Wang...during the more than ten years you've been missing, didn't you know anything?"

Golden Lion was somewhat surprised. He replied while maneuvering Whitebeard's Water Mountain to quickly ascend into the air.

"This matter is actually related to Sieg, didn't you know?"

Roger shook his head, looking slightly bewildered.

He traveled through time with the Heavenly Moon Era to the present day. He had been busy treating his illness, and after recovering, he was busy drinking and bragging with Shanks and other old friends... He had never heard of this matter before.

"Dad!"

"Dad's drowning!"

On the other side, the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates kept exclaiming in alarm and began to feel anxious.

Normally, given Whitebeard's personality, he wouldn't allow them to get involved in his battles.

But drowning...

"Save Dad!"

"A drowning person will lose consciousness in just a few minutes, and death is not far away... No matter how strong Dad is, he is still an ability user!"

Marco flapped his wings and was the first to take to the air, pale blue flames burning fiercely on his wings.

But at this moment, the golden lion reached out and made a gesture, and the water droplets floating around him gathered again into water mountains that moved rapidly through the air.

Golden Lion clearly intends to use the same tactics against the Devil Fruit users of the Whitebeard Pirates again.

Meanwhile, clouds in the sky descended, and floating islands and flying pirate ships appeared in the air.

The Golden Lion's Flying Pirates have finally arrived.

After absorbing the evil king and others from Impel Down's Infinite Hell, coupled with Shiki's extremely high reputation, the Flying Pirates expanded rapidly in a short period of time, and now their size is even larger than the Whitebeard Pirates, which have more than a thousand members.

As the sky island descended, the Flying Pirates also descended and engaged in battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.

With the massive water mountain constantly swirling in the air, the Devil Fruit users on the Whitebeard Pirates' side appeared restricted and had to distract themselves from dodging the water mountain, making them seem rather passive.

Marco possesses the ability to fly, but he cannot fly freely in the air filled with water droplets.

As for Diamond Joz... he was being relentlessly hammered into the ground by Barrett, who was now truly enraged, and he was powerless to break free.

Vista raised his hand and unleashed two intersecting sword strikes, but just as they were about to hit Mizuyama, who was standing near Whitebeard, Mizuyama separated and moved on his own, managing to evade his attack and narrowly grazing past Whitebeard's body.

“Vista, don’t be reckless. Father is powerless to fight back now. What if we hurt him?” Marco hurriedly shouted.

These words put the Whitebeard Pirates in an even more passive position.

Those with the ability to fly are ultimately few and far between. For the Whitebeard Pirates, breaking through the Flying Pirates' lines to rescue him without harming him would be no easy feat.

The golden lion leaped into the air, nimbly dodging Roger's next slash, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Whitebeard, who was already drowning in the water.

"Whitebeard, this is not the way for you to die."
