I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Snake-Snake Fruit, Yamata no Orochi form, a rare Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability.

Kurozumi Orochi is a legendary snake demon, while Kaido is a true dragon.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

The seven snake heads stared coldly at Denjiro, who had coughed up blood and fallen to the ground, and were about to order the Oniwabanshu to continue their attack on Denjiro.

But at this moment, Fukurokuju, the leader of the Oniwabanshu, suddenly paused.

He heard a clear sound of footsteps, and a sense of unease immediately arose in his heart. He turned his head and looked over, and was so frightened that he took a step back.

Around the corner, two people walked towards us, one after the other.

The one in front was a rather burly and robust man with bronze skin and full, imposing muscles like a marble statue, exuding power.

He strode in with a powerful and imposing presence.

However, the eyes of the Oniwabanshu and the others were more focused on the person behind Hale.

He was 1.9 meters tall, which in this world would only be considered average, not particularly impressive. He carried a long sword at his waist and walked over step by step.

Compared to the sharp and aggressive Hale, Sieg did not draw his sword, nor was the power of the Emperor Engine activated.

But everyone's eyes still passed over Hale and fell on him, and the situation instantly became tense.

"Is that pirate named Sig...? What's he doing here?"

"Shouldn't Kaido be the enemy of these great pirates?"

On all eight heads of the black charcoal serpent, a thin layer of sweat appeared, and its eyes flickered with fear.

Even though Higuma hasn't made a move yet, they can tell from the Beasts Pirates' attitude that this person is no ordinary individual...

The big shot that even Kaido feared had actually come to their door?

Denjiro struggled to his feet, his steps unsteady, and he looked at Sig with a somewhat bewildered expression.

The snake that bit him earlier seemed to be venomous, and he looked a little confused.

"Lord Sig...is that you?" Kurozumi Orochi's eight faces displayed a fawning expression.

"A figure as great as you should obviously be matched against a great pirate like Kaido of the Beasts. Killing me would only tarnish your sword and would be of no benefit whatsoever."

Orochi, with a fawning expression, quickly transformed into human form to show he meant no harm.

"To be honest, I am the shogun of Wano Country. If you lend me a ship to leave Onigashima, once I arrive in Wano Country, I will immediately appoint you as the Protector King of Wano Country, and we will rule Wano Country together..."

Actually, I am Qin Shi Huang... Sig stared expressionlessly at Orochi, saying nothing.

Kurozumi Orochi transformed into human form, reaching out from under his clothes and rubbing his hands together.

"Wano Country's treasury still holds considerable treasures. Furthermore, this is a source of Seastone; we can even provide you with finished Seastone artifacts..." Orochi said in a seductive tone.

What pirate doesn't love treasure?

Great pirates like Kaido and Higuma are mostly no longer satisfied with plundering treasures; stealing countries or establishing their own kingdoms is their basic operation.

Kurozumi Orochi, realizing he had the means to negotiate, calmed down a bit.

Sig looked at the black charcoal serpent without saying a word.

His original target was not Orochi, but Queen, one of the Three Disasters.

Unfortunately, despite his long observation, Quinn never transformed into his dinosaur form.

This prevented him from using his swordsmanship, and he happened to see Kurozumi Orochi, so he walked over.

“Orochi, is it?” Sig nodded, his gaze falling on the serpent’s palm.

"Are you a user of the Mythical Zoan type Yamata no Orochi?" Sig suddenly asked.

“Uh…that’s right.” Although the giant snake was a little surprised by Sig’s sudden question, it still nodded respectfully.

"Lord Sieg, what are your thoughts on the suggestion I just made?"

"My considerations..."

Sig continued to stare at the black charcoal serpent's palm.

"I've heard that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits are the rarest type of Devil Fruit."

"Let me take a good look at your Yamata no Orochi form first, and then I'll consider your proposal."

What a strange request.....

Orochi was a little confused. He thought he had offered a generous deal, but he hadn't expected that Sieg would want to see this...

"What's so difficult about that?"

Circumstances dictate actions, and although the request was a bit strange, he didn't think much of it. Kurozumi Orochi smiled and, under Sig's expectant gaze, leisurely began his transformation.

To fully display the majestic and imposing form of Yamata no Orochi, after the transformation was complete, all of the serpent's heads roared to the sky.

"good."

Sieg commented:

"I've carefully considered your suggestion, and in the end, I think..."

"Ugly rejection."

At that moment, the longsword at Sieg's waist was finally drawn!

Clang!

Amidst the crisp sound of a sword ringing out, a dazzling silver line, like lightning or a bolt of lightning, pierced through the night, instantly shattering one of the giant snake's heads.

The Oniwabanshu's expressions changed drastically, and they subconsciously took a few steps back.

The center of the battlefield.

Kaido was constantly switching between his three Zoan-type forms. At this moment, he was in his dragon form, hovering in the air and looking around. He immediately noticed the amazing sword light that flashed by in the night sky.

"It's Sieg? He's made his move!"

He stared at him wide-eyed, his heart skipping a beat.

"you-------"

In a flash, one of its heads was severed. The giant snake shuddered in agony, its remaining body contorting, its eyes widening as it stared at Sig, its face frozen in shock.

"Old man---"

He seemed to want to call out something, but the words were cut off by the sword light once again!

Swish swish swish swish swish swish!

A continuous stream of sword light flashed and crisscrossed, weaving together countless silver threads into a dense net of sword energy. It resembled surging, endless waves.

Clang!

The sword light, still powerful, cleaved a narrow trench in the ground, its cut as smooth as a mirror.

Boom!

The sword light shattered a corner of Skull Mountain, and the entire mountain trembled violently.

Under the cold moonlight, the sudden burst of continuous sword light was like a sudden snowfall, the bright sword light blooming under the moonlight.

When everything settles down.

The Yamata no Orochi's mangled body, with all its heads severed or shattered by the sword light, had completely lost its life. Under the horrified gazes of the Oniwabanshu beside it, it crashed to the ground.

"General Orochi!"

"Lord Orochi!"

Amidst the panicked shouts of the Oniwabanshu, Izo, Ashura Doji, Kikunojo, and others arrived, just in time to witness the scene of Sigurd slaying the giant serpent.

Chapter 927 Yamato, Be My Son

Under the moonlight, Sig stood side by side with the remains of the giant serpent.

With a loud bang, the serpent's mangled body fell to the ground, then quickly reformed into human form.

He flicked the blood off his sword and was about to slowly sheath it.

But suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

The longsword, which was halfway back in its sheath, paused.

Sig suddenly turned around.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky.

In the center of the distant battlefield, under the faint moonlight, Kaido, transformed into a long dragon, soared into the sky, gazing at this side from afar.

When Sig looked over, his eyes met those of Kaido, the dragon, from afar.

Sig's gaze then inadvertently shifted to Kaido's pair of forepaws, where the half-sheathed sword was stuck, seemingly unsatisfied.

This caused Kaido's battered body to tremble slightly once again.

That look...

It didn't seem like they were looking at a formidable enemy; rather, it was like they were looking at prey waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping board, already thinking about where to begin their attack.

"The giant serpent is dead..."

Kaido's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

What shocked him was not the death of Kurozumi Orochi, but the astonishing swordsmanship that Higuma displayed.

His massive dragon body trembled slightly, as if an invisible hand had gripped his heart.

"Another powerful swordsman... Sig has finally made his move."

"Killing the giant snake is nothing special; I'm familiar with this tactic. Sig is clearly trying to warn me by killing the giant snake..."

Kaido is very familiar with this kind of psychological warfare, and he already has a guess.

He subconsciously raised the dragon claw and pressed it onto his belly.

On his stomach, the cross-shaped wound inflicted by the other swordsman, Kozuki Oden, began to throb again.

For many years, he has lived under the psychological shadow left by that swordsman, and has never been better.
