At the port, Sengoku stood there frowning, lost in thought for a long, long time.

"There must be something fishy about this!"

"Abnormal, too abnormal."

Combining the intelligence, Sengoku analyzed for a while and couldn't help asking:

"Are you sure you only found Sig? Did you arrive near Sabaody Archipelago without noticing any other anomalies?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, Sengoku still found it hard to believe that things would be so simple.

"Could it be that Sig deliberately let himself be found? Does he have some other conspiracy?"

Sengoku could only speculate this way.

"Lead the way. I will personally meet Sig."

Sengoku finally ordered.

No matter what conspiracy Sig had, Sengoku couldn't just ignore it; he could only be more cautious.

.......

Before long.

Admiral Sengoku, following the Marines' guidance, saw Sig still fleeing on a certain street with his own eyes.

"Is it really Sig? He seems a bit different from the wanted poster?"

This thought flashed through Sengoku's mind, but he didn't have time to dwell on it.

"All of you, stay far back. The upcoming battle is not something you can interfere with."

Sengoku hid in the shadows, carefully observing Sig ahead while cautiously keeping an eye on all directions. But the night was quiet; there were no abnormalities anywhere.

Something's wrong! Terribly wrong!

Sengoku's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Although Sengoku had never met Sig, he had always been quite wary of this scheming and mysterious figure for a long time.

The current situation made Sengoku even more conflicted.

"No... no matter what tricks he has, I can't pay attention to them, otherwise I might fall into this person's trap!"

He thought for a moment, then suddenly rushed out, blocking Sig's path.

In the process of rushing out, Sengoku had already activated his Devil Fruit ability. His entire body rapidly expanded many times, transforming into a glittering golden Buddha statue.

"Sig, what exactly do you intend to do, causing such a huge incident in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

Sengoku roared sternly, his voice like a resonating bronze bell, traveling far in the night.

"Marine Headquarters Admiral, Buddha Sengoku?"

The fake Sig opposite him stared wide-eyed, his whole body seeming to tremble slightly.

But Sengoku had no intention of letting him speak. As he asked the question, he had already thrown a punch remotely at the fake Sig.

Sengoku, transformed into the Great Buddha, was already comparable in size to a giant. This punch came down like a collapsing mountain, his fist shining with a brilliance as dazzling as the sun.

Boom!

A dazzling golden shockwave suddenly lit up the night.

The earth let out an unbearable cry, cracking almost instantly. Dense fissures appeared, and dust flew up.

When the golden light finally faded, the surroundings returned to silence.

Admiral Sengoku, transformed into the Great Buddha, stood somewhat bewildered beside a deep pit tens of meters wide.

There was nothing in the deep pit.

"It ended just like that?"

Sengoku looked at his hands blankly. This time, he truly hadn't held back at all. Facing the treacherous Sig, his first move was a full-power strike.

In his perception, Sig hadn't dodged. It seemed that under his punch, Sig had no room for resistance, and even his body was completely destroyed by the powerful shockwave...

This feeling was like building up the urge to poop, taking off your pants, only to find out it was just a fart.

"Something's wrong..."

Sengoku suddenly stood still, gradually reverting from the imposing Great Buddha form back to human form, but his brow remained deeply locked.

He was still savoring that fart... no, savoring the process of Sig being killed, feeling that something was very wrong.

"Admiral Sengoku is mighty, killing Sig with one blow!"

"Sig was no match for Admiral Sengoku!"

The other Marines were very excited.

In their concept, a Marine Admiral was the highest combat power of the Marines. Killing a one-billion-bounty criminal with one blow, although surprising, was reasonable.

.......

Far away.

Blackbeard Teach watched the battlefield from afar, his expression also quite colorful.

He arrived relatively late and didn't know how long Sig and Sengoku had fought. He only saw a flash of golden light from afar, glimpsing Admiral Sengoku's final blow.

Afterwards, he heard the cheers of the Marines.

"Did Sig lose too quickly, or is Sengoku too strong? After all, Sengoku is also one of Pops' rivals..."

Teach didn't dwell on these matters; he was more concerned about something else.

"Sig is already dead? So quickly? I didn't even have time to rush over!"

Teach's expression changed drastically.

According to his original plan, he was to sneak close to the battlefield between Sengoku and Sig.

When Sig died at Sengoku's hands, Sig's Devil Fruit ability would automatically regenerate into his bag.

If Sengoku only injured Sig and let him escape, he would follow behind and find an opportunity to finish him off.

But he never expected Sig to die so quickly.

"If I had known the power gap between Sig and an Admiral was so huge, I would have acted myself!"

While inwardly resentful, Teach also felt a trace of luck.

His current position was still a considerable distance from Admiral Sengoku.

Logically, the Devil Fruit shouldn't regenerate somewhere so far away.

"Maybe it succeeded?"

Holding onto this sliver of hope, Teach opened his bag.

Then, his eyes instantly straightened, and his breath stopped at that moment.

Among the pile of fruits in his bag, a Devil Fruit lay quietly!

"This is Sig's Grilled Skewer Fruit?"

A smile unconsciously appeared on Teach's face.

Grilled Skewer Fruit! The legendary ultimate Devil Fruit!

Eating one is equivalent to eating three! An absolute steal!

But after searching more carefully, Teach was a little puzzled.

"Wait, why is there only one? What about the Face Face Fruit?"

Recalling the events at the auction house, Teach thought briefly and sneered.

"Back then, Sig couldn't prove the ability of the Face Face Fruit... I'm afraid the real user of the Face Face Fruit is someone else, right?"

Teach suddenly thought of a certain red-haired man with a similar catchphrase.

Time was pressing. Teach didn't think much further and continued to focus his gaze on the two fruits in the bag.

One was the Grilled Skewer Fruit left behind after Sig's death.

The other was the Angel Fruit.

"Although many unexpected things happened, my luck is really too good! I actually obtained Sig's fruit from such a distance!"

"Now Sig's Devil Fruit and the Angel Fruit are both in my hands!"

Teach almost wanted to throw his head back and laugh.

This was probably the greatest opportunity he had encountered in his life since joining the Whitebeard Pirates.
