I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"You're not bad either!"

After a few drinks, the initially tense atmosphere gradually eased.

Sig tilted his head back and drank a glass of wine, squinting as he watched the Buggy Pirates gradually become more lively.

Not only were he and Buggy drinking, but the rest of Buggy's crew were also busy, as if they were having a small party.

The Buggy Pirates' composition is actually quite similar to a circus: the captain is a clown, the chief of staff is a juggling swordsman, and there are also animal trainers, acrobats, and the like.

For example, right now, Kabaji is performing acrobatics, and the trainer even had the lion perform jumping through a ring of fire. The atmosphere is quite cheerful, and the initial tension has completely disappeared.

"Buggy, your pirate crew really does have a similar atmosphere to Roger and Shanks's crews. They start a party at the drop of a hat."

Sieg took the initiative to speak, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

They're still being hunted by the naval fleet; they don't have time for a banquet.

Upon hearing this, Bucky's previously smiling face turned serious, and he lowered his voice to say:

"You seem to know a lot about the Roger Pirates... although I'm not a member of the Pirate King's crew."

Sieg glanced at him indifferently:

"We can discuss this issue later. Now, let's talk about how to help you, the great pirate who has been mistaken for a member of the Pirate King's crew, escape capture."

"Bucky, want to team up with me?"

Sieg asked directly.

Since Usopp has the ability to make lies come true, could Buggy really have "Conqueror's Haki luck"?

If it really exists, then perhaps we can use Bucky's luck to get through this naval pursuit.

Even if he fails, Sigurd can at least try to verify Usopp's ability to lie by interacting with Buggy, a character in the story and an audience member.

"Join forces?" Bucky was slightly taken aback.

"Are you saying we should join forces to escape the navy fleet's pursuit, or... join forces to fight back against the navy?"

When the latter possibility was mentioned, Bucky wrinkled his big red nose.

With such a high bounty, Sig might actually have the ability to deal with the Navy, so why seek to team up with him?

"No, what I meant by joining forces is..."

Sieg continued:

"We joined forces and crossed the doldrums directly."

“Buggy, with your Conqueror's Haki...and my terrifying swordsmanship, you have a real chance of crossing the Calm Belt.”

puff---

Bucky spat out a mouthful of wine and stood up to look at Sieg.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's impossible to travel through the Calm Belt!"

"Is this the method you were talking about to escape the navy's pursuit? To commit suicide in the Calm Belt first?"

Are you kidding me?

Bucky suddenly became furious, his hands breaking free from his wrists and flying towards Sig's collar, seemingly intending to grab Sig's collar.

However, just as his hands touched Sig's collar, Bucky suddenly realized what he was doing, quickly let go of the collar, and flew backward as if nothing had happened.

"Just now... there was something dirty on your collar, I patted it off for you."

Bucky tried to explain, somewhat embarrassed.

Sieg glanced at the two suspended hands in front of him without making a sound, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.

He reached for his waist with his left hand and found the folding knife in his hand. He quickly swung it downwards.

Before Sig could see anything, Bucky's two hands flew like lightning to his folding knife, their palms clasped together in mid-air, catching the blade.

Bucky, however, did not kneel as Sieg had expected. Instead, he took a half-step back and looked at him with a terrified expression.

"Wait, what did you do?"

"Why can't I control my hand? Did you use Seastone?"

Sig was also puzzled and took a closer look at Bucky in front of him.

Bucky's expression was one of terror, but he wasn't completely paralyzed; he simply couldn't control the hands that had caught the blade.

"This is the result?"

Just as Sieg was filled with surprise, he heard footsteps beside him.

Looking to the side, Bucky's men were all looking over nervously. Some had their hands on their waists, while others had drawn their knives. They formed a circle at a distance, and the atmosphere became tense again.

Seeing this, Sieg couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Li Jingka's abilities only suppressed Buggy's hands... So now, how is he going to end this? How is he going to face the entire ship of pirates, and Buggy too?

Bang bang bang bang bang...

As the sound of heartbeats filled the air, the pirates who had been surrounding them from a distance all took a few steps back, their expressions becoming even more tense.

"Captain Bucky, my knife is stuck."

"What a coincidence, mine is the same..."

Chapter 109 Examining the Sword

Bang bang bang bang bang...

Amidst the increasingly rapid heartbeats, Bucky's men were drenched in sweat and instinctively backed away.

However, Sig's heartbeat did not slow down, after all, Bucky was still standing in front of him.

Bucky not having hands doesn't mean he's incapable of fighting.

Sieg glanced back at his ship, a slight sense of relief washing over him.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't entirely alone; he had many subordinates with him.

As long as his subordinates swarm in, even without Stussy, with Arlong and Kuro by his side, taking down the Buggy Pirates should be a piece of cake.

Just as Sig had predicted, while he was confronting the Buggy Pirates, the bandits also drew their swords and rose up, with some of the quicker ones already stepping over the railings, ready to jump over.

Just as Sieg was feeling at ease, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the crowd.

"Wait! What are you doing?"

The bald man squeezed through the crowd and, with a serious expression, stopped the bandits' actions:

"Our boss has already drawn his sword. Do you really think he can't handle these small-time pirates? Do you think he needs your help?"

Upon hearing this, the bandits who were about to leap over silently stopped.

"That's true."

"Who is Boss Sig? Do we need to worry about him?"

Sieg's eye twitched, and then he heard a voice coming from in front of him:

"Let go of my hand! I was just trying to help you pat your collar..."

At this moment, Bucky's upper body had split apart and was floating in the air, staring angrily at Sieg.

Sig felt a chill run down his spine.

Bucky appeared furious, but his two feet, which were standing on the ground, had silently disappeared without a trace.

Using his Observation Haki, Sigurd could vaguely sense that sharp blades had quietly sprung from the tips of Buggy's shoes, and that Buggy was about to sneak up behind him.

"Bucky!"

Sig shouted to buy time while he considered his options.

Buggy is a user of the Chop-Chop Fruit, which allows him to split his body and fly away at will, but it is not without its limitations.

If a part of his body moves more than 200 meters away from his feet, he will not die, but he will lose control and perception of that part of his body.

Sig's peripheral vision fell on Bucky's hands and palms beneath his folding knife, and an idea popped into his head.

After a moment's thought, Sieg said directly:

"You don't believe I can handle large sea kings from the Calm Belt? In that case, I'll show you my swordsmanship."

"They're just sea kings a few thousand meters long. Under my sword, all sea kings are no match for me!"

As Sieg spoke, his heartbeat quickened, and his aura steadily rose.

The terrifying aura surged and churned like a tidal wave, completely engulfing Bucky in front of him.

Just as Bucky was about to launch a sneak attack from behind, he paused, suddenly feeling a sense of suffocation.

Buggy, despite being a user of the Chop-Chop Fruit and not being afraid of slashes at all, felt a sense of fear at this moment.

He suddenly remembered when he was still a trainee crew member, and the formidable enemies he encountered with Roger.

"Take this!"

With a sharp shout, Sieg's terrifying aura reached its peak.

In that instant, Sieg quietly canceled his attempt to catch the blade barehanded, and then... kicked Bucky's hand, which was under the folding knife, hard.

"Weren't you here to watch my sword? Why did you kick my hand!"

Bucky had expected to be struck by Siegfried's slash and had no time to react.

He watched helplessly as Sieg kicked his hand away, and with a splash, the hand fell directly into the sea.

Bucky's expression turned even uglier.

"My hand! You actually kicked my hand into the sea!"

Bucky yelled, and the other hand that hadn't been kicked returned to his body.

He was furious. His right hand, which had just returned to his body, pulled out a dagger, and he lunged at Sieg with his upper body.

At the same time, behind Sig, Bucky leaped up, aiming the sharp blades on the tips of his shoes at the back of Sig's neck.

"Take this!"
