I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Hawkeye wants to leave? Fine, let them go. None of them can catch up anyway," Zephyr judged.

"Whitebeard might be a variable."

"Follow me in a raid! We can't let him get away like this!"

Zephyr clenched his fist, his Armament Haki turning his wrists jet black. He used Moonwalk to charge towards Whitebeard like an arrow, but a flash of silver light appeared, and Diamond Jozu transformed into a diamond and charged in, slamming into Zephyr and blocking his path.

Marco flapped his wings and muttered to himself:

“I didn’t know that Sig was King Sig before… So a few months ago, when Sig suddenly jumped out and said that he wanted to join forces with Whitebeard and Shiki to break into Impel Down… I always thought that Sig had other plans.”

"But now I finally understand why Sieg was willing to help us rescue the Teach brothers."

"Because he is Wang Xige!"

Marco said:

“Even though Wang Xige has changed his name and even kept it from my father, he is still helping us in his own way.”

"Without his and the Golden Lion's power, we alone cannot rescue the Teach brothers..." Marco looked at his crew behind him, his tone shifting:

"So, this time, Dad is returning the favor. We'll repay the debt we owed him during the Impel Down war."

"Dad will go to support Sig, and what we can do is to hold back the Navy!"

These words boosted the morale of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Whitebeard gazed at Marco from afar, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Marco was actually speaking to the crew.

In this way, Whitebeard's aid to Higuma became justified, turning into repaying a favor and becoming a matter of official business for the pirate crew.

For the loyal Whitebeard Pirates, this gave them a legitimate reason to act, and it also suppressed any dissatisfaction their sons might feel about Whitebeard's departure at this time.

“Marco has grown up too…” he sighed.

...........

A new round of battle has begun, but the Zephyr fleet is unable to break through the obstruction of Marco and his men for the time being.

While Zephyr was in a bit of a panic, on a nearby warship, Tyrant Bear suddenly snapped his book shut.

“I’ll go stop Whitebeard,” Kuma said, his voice calm and concise.

Zephyr was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Then I'll leave it to you, Bartholomew Bear."

Zephyr never had any expectations of becoming a Shichibukai.

However, Bartholomew Kuma is a relatively obedient Shichibukai with considerable strength. Even if he doesn't contend with Whitebeard, it's not impossible for him to hinder Whitebeard and cooperate with the Navy to keep him in place.

"Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea are all a bunch of disobedient old men, at least there are reliable guys like Bartholomew Kuma." Zephyr was quite gratified.

Tyrant Bear carefully put away the book in his hands, then slowly took off his white gloves, revealing a pair of paw-like fleshy hands.

He stretched out his palm and gently pushed forward.

call out!

His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The Paw-Paw Fruit allows the user to grow soft, fleshy paw-like bumps on their hands... This sounds like a useless fruit that's only good for being cute.

However, under the development of Tyrant Bear, it has produced extremely powerful effects.

By using its paws to deflect air, Tyrant Bear can teleport instantly, and even perform spatial transfers beyond visual range.

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

Splash! Splash!

The Supreme Grade Sword Murakumogiri had now become a paddle, each stroke creating a wave that propelled Whitebeard's small boat forward at breakneck speed.

Under the cover of the waves and Whitebeard's fleet, Whitebeard's small boat had already sped past the bend in the cliffs of West Asia Island and disappeared from the navy's sight.

But suddenly.

Whitebeard's gaze sharpened slightly, and he sheathed his naginata.

Behind him stood a burly man of similar stature, as robust as a bear.

"Gurararararararar, you want to stop me too? Bartholomew Bear. How confident you are, coming all by yourself."

Whitebeard gripped his naginata and turned to look at Bartholomew Kuma.

To his slight surprise, Tyrant Bear showed little fighting spirit, his gaze merely fixed on the serpentine currents ahead:

"Your target seems to be that ocean current. Could it be that you can quickly reach Scarborough Island by following this current? How long would that take?"

Whitebeard paused for a moment, then replied:

"A few hours, or most of a day."

"Sig probably won't last that long. By the time you get there, you might not even be able to collect his body." Xiong shook his head.

"This is a pointless attempt."

"...What are you trying to say?"

“I have some connection with Sig, and he shouldn’t have died at a time like this. Let me help him,” Xiong said, his tone still calm.

“I know the location of Scarborough Island. With my Paw-Paw Fruit ability, I can send you to Scarborough Island even faster.”

"...How fast?" the white-bearded man asked.

"At the fastest, about half an hour," Xiong replied in a deep voice.

"However, don't expose me." The bear spread its arms wide, puffed out its chest, and offered no resistance.

"Come on, cut me with your knife."

Whitebeard gave Bartholomew Kuma a deep look, re-examined him, and finally nodded.

"He's a good man."

Whitebeard gripped his naginata tightly, and with a swift motion, he slashed down, leaving a long, narrow wound on Bartholomew Kuma's chest, from which blood spurted out.

Tyrant Bear staggered back two steps, his body swaying slightly, but he did not fall.

"Are you ready?" His voice remained calm.

After Whitebeard nodded, Bartholomew Kuma stepped forward again and pushed Whitebeard hard with both palms.

call out!

The white beard disappeared.

Tyrant Bear slumped onto the ship, panting slightly, blood flowing down his body, staining his clothes red.

"I've done everything I could. Whether you survive or not is up to you," he muttered to himself.

From a full day to half a day, and then from half a day to half an hour.

This half hour is crucial for Sieg's survival.

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

"I only have 24 minutes!"

Sig spread his fiery black wings and swept past like lightning, heading straight for the navy in front of him.

With this charge, the fiery black wings behind him brought up a powerful gust of wind.

A dark, phantom-like figure, accompanied by flickering embers, swept through the air like a spear piercing through the naval lines in an instant.

Each flash of movement seemed to unleash a storm, sending dozens of figures flying backward.

With numerous and powerful enemies and no one to assist him, Sig's flashy abilities are rendered useless.

For example, Li Jing's card... being caught by a blade barehanded is a temporary soft control. Even if it becomes a group soft control, it is useless at this time, and using it will probably lead to an even faster death.

The Bat King temporary possession card is crucial; it's a card that becomes stronger against stronger opponents.

This card can provide a significant boost to strength and speed, as well as dual-color Haki, forcibly enhancing Sigurd's strength and speed to compensate for his weaknesses.

With this card, he might be able to deal with the elite naval officers in front of him.

Therefore, he only has 24 minutes! Within these 24 minutes, he needs to break through the battlefield, and amidst the vast army, directly capture General Dortmund!

Chapter 940 The True Sixth Emperor

The Bat King Possession Card takes effect in 24 minutes.

If Sig were to encounter an opponent at the Major General level, Sig's strength would also rise to the Major General level.

If the opponent is Luffy, the Fifth Emperor, then Higuma is the true Sixth Emperor.

in other words...

When Higuma faces an enemy superior to Luffy, the Fifth Emperor, the Bat King Possession Card is equivalent to the True Sixth Emperor Possession Card.

boom!

Sigurd's punches were as swift as the wind, his fiery black wings creating a storm, each strike sending dozens of marines flying.

He plucked a hair from his hand and continuously used the Flying Thunder God Technique, his figure flashing behind the enemy as he unleashed punch after punch.

His figure flashed rapidly, and as his black wings spread out, he left faint trails of dark fire among the enemy ranks.

"Not fast enough!"

"Our strength is not enough! We need to find more enemies of lieutenant general rank or higher to be our opponents!"

Sig's heart raced, his blood surged like a river, and he felt as if endless power was flowing through his limbs and bones.

In the midst of the battle, Sieg suddenly felt darkness before his eyes as a massive black shadow enveloped the small battlefield.

I looked up.

A giant lieutenant general clenched his massive fist, which slammed down through the air, engulfing everything around Sig and filling his field of vision.

boom!

A giant fist, the size of a house, slammed down from the sky, creating a whistling sound!

But the next moment, the giant general's eyes twitched. He clenched his teeth, his body tensed, and the muscles in his arms bulged and trembled.
