I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Behind Rocks at this moment, Whitebeard Newgate stood with his sword in hand, flanked by Kaido and two other giants of similar stature, while Shiki stood shoulder to shoulder with Rocks.

Although Whitebeard, Shiki, and the others did not bring their entire pirate crew, their individual strength was already a great help.

With such a star-studded lineup, how could they possibly lose?

Rocks was more concerned about... the Roger Pirates who had appeared at the port of Loguetown a few days earlier.

He couldn't figure out the Roger Pirates' attitude, but in any case, they could never be allies.

"This is a war between pirates and bandits." Rocks stood on the high building, looking down at the square below.

"The Navy is currently weak and is unlikely to get involved in this mess. As long as the Roger Pirates don't cause any trouble... this battle is practically a sure thing."

All Lox had to do was wait for Sigma to arrive.

.........

The sky was a clear, bright blue, and the scorching sunlight beat down on the ground, causing the air on the stone-paved street to distort slightly.

The pirates gathered noisily in Loguetown Square, making way for a narrow path in the middle.

Two pirates escorted Wufa step by step onto the execution platform in the square.

"Has Sigma's men not arrived yet?"

Lockes grew impatient and glanced at the distant port.

Their fleet was ready to engage the East Sea Mountain Bandits head-on, but there wasn't a single ship in sight.

Meanwhile, the inland border crossings have also been closely monitored, and there has been no trace of outsiders.

"Could it be that the Mountain Bandit King isn't planning on coming?" This thought crossed the minds of many pirates.

At this moment, in the utter silence of Roggetown.

Sieg leaned out of a bar window near the square and surveyed the scene outside.

He, like everyone else, was waiting for the arrival of Sigmar, the bandit king.

"The real show has only just begun. Forget Sigma, even the Roger Pirates are probably hiding somewhere somewhere..."

Just as Sieg was about to find some drinks at the bar to kill time.

The once clear sky gradually darkened.

From the west, thick, leaden clouds swept in with the wind, casting enormous shadows across the sky.

At that moment, Sig, like countless other pirates in the square, suddenly looked up.

Sig could see... that the enormous shadow cast in the sky was not actually a black cloud, but a cloud of swords formed by countless longswords.

A figure could be vaguely seen walking through the air as if on flat ground.

Chapter 965 Mountain Bandit King Sigma

Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it.

A massive cloud of swords descended from the sky, casting a huge shadow over most of Roguetown, as if night had fallen, creating a spectacular sight.

"Why is it dark?"

"What's wrong with the weather? It suddenly changed. This is the East China Sea, not the Grand Line!"

At that moment, all the pirates in Loguetown looked up at the sky, their expressions varying.

Those who hadn't seen the sword cloud clearly were complaining about the weather.

Those pirates who possessed Observation Haki and saw through the true nature of the dark clouds turned slightly pale and were speechless.

Like the others, Sig looked up at the sky and activated his Observation Haki, spotting a figure faintly approaching through the air from within the sword cloud.

The figure looked exactly like the original Sig, and his expression was identical—calm, unsmiling, and enigmatic.

His face, however, showed signs of aging, bearing the marks of time.

At this moment, Sigma manipulated thousands of flying swords to soar through the air.

At first glance, it looks like Siegfried, using Newton's coffin lid as a springboard, achieved a move similar to the anti-Newtonian levitation flying sword rain.

But Sieg also knew that the two were not the same.

"Is this the strongest telekinetic user Vegapunk was talking about?"

The thought crossed Sieg's mind.

Telekinesis is a superpower that is very common in various works.

This is the ability to manipulate things remotely using thought.

Like Tatsumaki and Fubuki from One-Punch Man, their outward appearances are similar to those of users of the Float-Float Fruit.

Take Jupiter, the sorcerer from the East Blue, as an example. His telekinesis allows him to fly on a broomstick, manipulate swords to float in the air, control human bodies to lift himself into the air, and create shockwaves that can cut his own pirate ship in two with a single blow.

But Jubilee and Sigma are two different things.

Because only one panda bird remains, the telekinetic users in this world, apart from Sigma, are relatively weak and not as strong as ordinary Devil Fruit users.

Telekinesis isn't as flashy as the abilities of Devil Fruits.

But at Sigma's level, he can use telekinesis to control countless longswords to rise into the air, which is quite spectacular.

"go with!"

A low shout came from the sky.

His voice was deep and cold, yet it resonated in everyone's heart like a muffled thunderclap.

After a low, thunderous shout, came a downpour.

The clouds are a vast cloud of swords composed of countless long swords.

The rain was naturally a dense, torrential downpour.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!

At that moment, countless sharp swords descended from the sky, densely packed like raindrops, with sharp, piercing sounds echoing continuously!

Boom boom boom!

Each longsword descended from the sky, containing the power to shatter mountains and split rocks.

boom!

Some houses were pierced by longswords, leaving large holes. The walls trembled incessantly amidst the dense rain of swords before collapsing rapidly with a deafening roar.

Then, a large amount of blood spurted out and screams rang out.

But soon, darkness descended upon Loguetown Square, and a dense, pitch-black tornado erupted from Lox's body.

A jet-black tornado shot into the sky, and a massive rain of swords that came hurtling through the air was sucked in by the suddenly generated powerful suction force, twisting and transforming into a pile of scrap metal.

The other flying swords, though not caught in the dark tornado, were pulled by the immense suction, causing them to veer off course when they struck.

In the air, Sigma's figure also descended step by step from the sky, as if stepping down an invisible staircase, his pace neither hurried nor slow.

His gaze was calm and still. He stretched out his hand, looking towards the execution platform, and then slowly extended a palm, making a loose clenching motion.

It was as if an invisible hand had gripped the execution platform tightly, causing the entire platform to twist and deform at that moment, tilting to one side.

But Lox wouldn't be so careless as to let Sigma do whatever he wanted.

Lox's disheveled hair danced wildly in the wind. He looked up at the sky, his gaze unfathomable, and locked onto Sigma's figure. He roared:

"Finally, he's taken the bait... Kaido!"

With Rocks's loud shout, Kaido's burly figure burst out from the side.

He glared fiercely at Sigma, his breathing heavy and filled with murderous intent.

Several days ago, during the battle outside Loguetown, Kaido's right-hand man, King, was dragged into the sea and drowned due to prolonged submersion.

“Sigmar, you’ll just watch your men die too.”

Kaido stepped forward and snapped his fingers lightly.

"Duel Arena!"

An invisible ripple swept across the area in an instant, transforming into a completely transparent spherical air shield that enveloped him and Sigma, who was approaching through the air.

At the same time, it also bounced the surrounding pirates away a distance, pushing them outside the air shield.

The execution platform where Wufa was located was exactly outside the air shield of the spherical duel arena.

"It's here! Lord Kaido's Minotaur Fruit ability!"

The Rocks Pirates crowded outside the air shield, watching Kaido and Sigma in the center of the battlefield from afar.

"On the dueling arena, only the user with the ability can engage in a one-on-one duel with the enemy. Others will be excluded from the dueling arena and can only watch from the sidelines."

"The air shield is very difficult to break; no one, regardless of who they are, can interfere with the duel inside!"

Sig's eye twitched slightly as he stood by the bar window.

He couldn't tell for a moment whether Kaido was the minotaur who had just committed the crime or the raging bull in the arena.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Rocks curled his lip and gave a cold smile.

He had no interest in watching the duel between Kaido and Sigma.

Kaido's abilities are only for restraint; it would be naive to expect him to face Sigma directly.

“Since they’ve already taken the bait, it’s useless now.” He waved his hand decisively.

"Execute him!"

They staged the execution only to lure Sigmar out.

Now that the fish have taken the bait, they will naturally not be left to roam.

The two pirates waiting on the execution platform suddenly swung their long swords down with lightning speed!

But this time.

Suddenly, a door opened on the floor of the execution platform beneath their feet.

Wufa, who was bound by shackles, was immediately dragged under the floor door and disappeared without a trace. Naturally, the two knives missed their mark.
