I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Is this the same Sieg who framed me and forced me to resign as admiral and retire?"

Dor snorted coldly.

He had never had any dealings with "Wang Xige" in the past, but was implicated in the Holy Land looting case.

He reached out to Sieg, but his hand passed right through the back of Sieg's head, as if what he saw was just a phantom.

This alternate dimension is completely isolated from the outside world. Even Rayleigh cannot detect its existence, but at the same time, Dol cannot interfere with the outside world.

At that moment, Dol suddenly felt an impulse... He wanted to open the airlock and assassinate Sieg directly...

But after much deliberation, I decided to give up.

Sigurd's Observation Haki is extremely powerful, reportedly reaching the point of being able to foresee the future, which is extremely troublesome.

If he attacks Sieg from behind... then Sieg should have noticed the moment the air portal opened and he entered the outside world.

This will be a direct confrontation that tests both sides' reaction speed and the strength of their Observation Haki, without any fancy moves.

If Sieg doesn't react in time, he will die.

If he realizes what's happening, it means the entire battle plan has failed...

Dole is already quite old; he has been retired for many years and is no longer at his peak.

Besides... even in his prime, he wasn't a physical master like Garp.

Ultimately... after some hesitation, Dol decided to give up and proceed with the original plan.

He shifted his gaze and stepped into this alternate dimension, walking towards the black ironclad warship on the shore.

Sig, who seems to be able to foresee the future, is not easy to deal with, but the others... even with Rayleigh around, are easier to handle.

Their plan was never to attack Sig.

"Next, it's up to Borsalino," Dor thought to himself in the alternate dimension.

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

Meanwhile, on a tall building in the southern part of the island.

Admiral Kizaru stood atop the tall building, extended a finger, and with his eyes closed, used his Observation Haki to sense the movements on the port side.

"found it."

Kizaru pointed his finger at the distant armored pirate ship, and laser beams began to gather at his fingertip.

There are many strong individuals in the Navy, and they have long mastered the tactics for dealing with those who possess top-tier Observation Haki.

Such top-tier powerhouses, like Garp or Whitebeard, can instinctively avoid attacks even when they are sleeping.

These powerful individuals' ability to perceive danger is more directed at themselves.

If Garp were sleeping on the ship, ambushing him would only result in a beating.

However, if the target were changed to the ship itself, and a single shot were used to sink it... Garp might not be able to react before the shell hit the ship.

Of course... if the ship were sunk, Garp would most likely wake up quickly and escape from the wreck. It's not very feasible to deal with a powerful person with top-tier Observation Haki so easily.

Golden light shimmered at Kizaru's fingertips as he slowly muttered to himself:

"A light-speed attack beyond visual range, and targeting the sea surface around the ship, means Rayleigh can still react. Our navy might as well just surrender."

Golden light burst forth from the fingertips!

In an instant, the golden laser beam traversed a vast distance and slammed into the sea behind the ironclad warship.

boom!

Amidst the deafening explosion, towering waves surged forth, shaking the entire pirate ship with the shockwave. Propelled by the instantly rising waves, it hurtled forward like an arrow released from a bow.

Rayleigh and the others were focused on Sig and CP0.

No matter how you look at it, Sieg and Stussy were outnumbered and outmatched. Even Rayleigh never expected that the target of the attack would be this ship!

Rayleigh didn't react until the explosion rang out and the ship beneath his feet was violently rocked by the shockwave.

"Someone launched a sneak attack?"

Barrett excels in Armament Haki, but her Observation Haki is slightly weaker, and her reaction speed is slightly slower than Rayleigh's.

Rayleigh frowned and looked south, having already activated his Observation Haki, and made his judgment:

"The attack is coming from the south; someone is attacking us—"

Just as Rayleigh and the others were distracted by Kizaru's attack,

A massive air door silently opened in front of the ironclad ship.

boom!

A massive shockwave surged forth, engulfing the entire ship and a large amount of churning seawater, propelling it like an arrow shot from a bow into the gaping portal of air.

The giant air gate closed silently.

The ironclad ship, and all the people on board, had vanished without a trace.

Chapter 935 Stussy, have you betrayed us too?

Where is this place?

By the time Rayleigh and the others realized what was happening, the entire ship had been blown away by the shockwave and plunged into the green, alien dimension.

Apart from a layer of lush green filter, the scenery in this alternate dimension is the same as the outside world.

Even from within the area, they could still see the activity on the port and the astonished crowds looking over because of the explosion.

Negotiations between Sieg and CP0 were thus suspended.

"Where exactly is this place?"

What just happened?

Some people still hadn't realized what was happening.

From Kizaru's laser attack beyond visual range to Rayleigh and the others being distracted, the portal to another dimension quietly opened, and the entire process happened in a very short time.

"The Warring States period's plan is going quite smoothly. It seems there's a good reason why he was chosen as the marshal."

A sudden voice rang out in front of them.

Rayleigh frowned and looked ahead at the person who had appeared in front of him.

"A retired former general has actually reappeared?" Rayleigh murmured.

"So what? Your right hand, the Pirate King's right hand, has reappeared on the sea as if nothing happened," Dol replied casually.

"You locked us up here while Sieg is outside?"

Ah Ling shouldered the greatsword, her gaze fixed on the old man, her killing intent palpable.

“A general I’ve never seen before… How interesting,” Barrett’s eyes gleamed, a sinister smile spreading across his face as he rubbed his hands together, eager for a fight.

He didn't react to the sudden attack, but that's alright.

“What spirited young people.” Dole looked at Barrett, Aling, and the others, and shook his head slightly.

"As you can see, you are inside the alternate dimension of the Door-Door Fruit. This place is isolated from the outside world, and you cannot interfere with each other. You can't do anything—"

Before she finished speaking, Barrett's body charged forward like a cannonball, followed closely by Ah Ling's blade.

But just as their attacks were about to strike Dol...

Dol simply pushed his hand forward, and the air door opened again. He quickly stepped inside.

As Barrett's fist hurtled past, Dol had already vanished from this alternate dimension.

"Hmm? Where is he?" Barrett frowned.

He retracted his fist, then swiftly threw a punch to the side.

To his side, Dol reappeared, but his image was now shrouded in a ghostly green light, clearly indicating that he was now outside.

Barrett's lightning-fast punch passed straight through his head, like trying to catch the moon's reflection in water—completely ineffective.

"Are we already outside?" Rayleigh realized.

"Barrett, stop, it's no use."

Barrett hesitated for a moment.

He saw Dol standing to his side, looking at him so closely, as if he saw Barrett and the others in another dimension, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

Dor opened his mouth and mouthed a sentence:

"Young man, there are many things in this world that brute force cannot solve..."

No external sounds could be heard, but Barrett recognized the words from the lip movements. A black line appeared on his forehead, and he roared, his fists raining down on Dole.

But the lightning-fast fists only pierced through Dol's body time and time again in vain.

He shook his head dismissively:

"Just enjoy the show."

He turned his back to Dort and left.

Dole couldn't see what was happening inside the alternate dimension either; his actions just now were merely based on experience and his prediction of Barrett and the others' reactions.

After finishing these things, he stopped caring and turned his attention to Sig on the street ahead.

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

Let's rewind to half a minute ago, to the instant the laser explosion occurred.

When the massive explosion occurred at the port, pedestrians on the street turned around in shock, and negotiations between SIG and CP0 were terminated.

When Sig turned around in surprise, the pirate ship that had been docked at the port had vanished without a trace.

"What happened? I was just stopped there, where did that huge ship go?"

What just happened happened so fast that Sieg didn't even realize the air door had opened.

But in that instant.

The man in the white suit in front of him moved.
