Discipline
A Germa behemoth has been gone for a week since it left the Germa Kingdom, which was formed by the merger of twenty factions...
The ship carries Germa Warrior whose destination is Seabird Island in the North Sea—a small country there is in turmoil, and the king has exhausted the last of the kingdom's treasury to hire Germa 66 to quell the rebellion!
At this point, the Seagull Kingdom could no longer afford to worry about the united resistance of the North Sea kingdoms against "Germa".
Germa is indeed an unpleasant memory for the kingdoms of the North Sea, and what they are doing now is greatly damaging the interests of these kingdoms—as long as they can afford the price, the Germa Kingdom will wantonly overthrow the kingdoms!
But... for the Haiyan royal family, if they don't get help soon, their country will perish. They have to put everything else aside for now!
Sig and Gage's four children were also on this ship.
It was a little different from what Sig had imagined... Sig had originally thought that he would be leading the team, along with four little kids.
Unexpectedly, a giant warship was dispatched directly, carrying not only many soldiers but also the Army Commander, Vinsmoke Babino.
Of course, he was only given a surname. Gage went out to do scientific research with Vegapunk and others, and when he returned, he learned that his father had passed away and that he, as the eldest prince, had no claim to the throne...
Enraged, Gage not only violently reclaimed the throne but also carried out a massive purge, leaving the Vinsmoke Family in ruins. This is likely one of the reasons that led him to strip his own children of their humanity.
Babino was a guy with a wide chin and dreadlocks. Because of his strange resemblance to a human version of Makoro, Sig disliked him a lot.
In theory, Babino was in command of this mission, Sig was only responsible for looking after a few kids.
But...
Having been on the road for a week, Sig thought to himself that if he jumped into the sea now, no one could stop him, so he was quite "arrogant".
The reason they didn't leave immediately was because Gage had mentioned that the Donquixote Family was vaguely involved behind the war on Seabird Island, which piqued Sig's interest.
"We're almost at Seabird Island. According to intelligence, the port is currently occupied by rebels. We'll launch an attack on the target immediately after landing! Don't worry about enemy casualties or the extent of damage to the port. That poor king didn't buy any compensation insurance. You... keep an eye on the young lady and young master's safety." Babino said to Sig with some helplessness and resentment.
Although Gage has established a kingdom and become king, many of his subordinates still prefer to address him as "Miss" or "Young Master" rather than "Princess" or "Prince."
Babino's attitude was not without reason... Sig's behavior these past few days had greatly displeased Babino.
For the first two days, Sig pretended to be cautious because he was not far from Germa's base camp, but in the last few days, Sig has completely disregarded Babino.
In particular, Sig had dealt with a challenge from the Ichiji brothers right in front of him—the three brats were very excited after obtaining the combat suits and wanted to "take revenge" on Sig.
The result... naturally, Sig punched the North Sea Kindergarten again, making Ichiji and the other two almost cry.
If it were just ordinary training, Babino wouldn't interfere much, after all, His Majesty had entrusted the young masters to Sig.
However, Sig was going all out, and even when Ichiji was being stubborn and refusing to admit defeat, he stomped Ichi's head into the deck... Wasn't that going too far?
When Babino reprimanded Sig, he ignored her. Enraged, the two even briefly clashed before Reiju.
However, in the brief exchange, Babino realized that Sig's strength was above his own—this was not the level of 60 million Beli... and Sig was not wearing his Battle Suit at the time!
Bounties are generally composed of strength, harm caused, and the crime committed.
Sig understood that most of his 60 million bounty was for the "crimes" he had committed.
Against the Navy and CP0, Sig didn't display much strength. After all, he was already injured and exhausted, and he was only concerned with escaping. As for the danger he posed... well, that was even less of a threat—just a cunning Fish-Man.
Sig didn't know was that Momousagi, whose strength was such that she had raised Sig's bounty, clearly had a deep impression of his previous fraudulent behavior and felt that this person was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, Spandine objected, arguing in his report that everything was due to Momousagi's stupidity and incompetence!
Therefore, Sig's bounty was merely a result of his anger over the "loss of the Op-Op Fruit."
Babino originally wanted to complain, but Reiju warned him that Sig was there to "train" them, and that it was none of Babino's business to interfere in royal matters.
Babino had no choice but to suffer in silence...
"That's your business. I'll take these little ones to find opponents who can hone their skills," Sig said, glancing at the bruised and battered "little ones" beside him.
Clearly, they've received quite a lecture these past few days... except for Reiju.
Reiju has also begun to have doubts about Sig's condition.
Indeed, what is removed through human nature reform is only a part of human nature. Just like Ichiji and the others, they are not "wooden people," they just don't think about others. Their cruelty and other traits have not disappeared.
Reiju herself retained most of her emotions, though feelings of fear and sadness were very faint.
At first, Reiju attributed Sig's "temperament" to the fact that his positive personality had disappeared after being modified, and mentally blamed Gage.
But as the days went by, Sig's behavior became increasingly casual, and Reiju began to doubt—had this guy really been modified? Back in the Germa Kingdom, he wasn't this arrogant; he always had a stern face!
Of course, this was just a thought in her mind, but in practice, Reiju kept telling Babino that "this is all normal."
"You... Hmph! That's right, do what you're supposed to do!" Babino was angered by Sig's attitude again, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After Babino informed Sig, he left in a huff, and then Ichiji and the other two showed excited expressions—battle would excite them.
Reiju, on the other hand, scrutinized Sig with a serious look that made him feel guilty.
Sig understood Reiju's thoughts and secretly resolved that before leaving... he would definitely be honest with Reiju and apologize.
"Aren't we going to fight next?" Ichiji said excitedly.
The excitement brought by the battle was not erased; on the contrary, it swelled even more due to the loss of emotions such as fear and sympathy.
"That's right, but your opponents are the Donquixote Family, who may exist within the rebel army, not the ordinary rebels," Sig corrected.
