A Message

"Oh? Tell me about it." Momousagi adopted a gentle, even docile, expression.

Of course, this was all a disguise. Even without using his powers, Sig wouldn't fall for it, since his leg was still broken...

"Rosinante," Sig said, uttering Corazon's name.

"Huh? Doflamingo's brother? What happened to him?" Momousagi wasn't annoyed at all by Sig's teasing; instead, she seemed eager to hear it.

Well, she didn't seem angry on the surface, Sig probably thought she had already kicked him again in her heart.

"It seems you don't know... That's right, this is top-secret intelligence. Rosinante is a spy for your navy, probably a lieutenant commander, right? Sengoku Admiral's adopted son... Don't look disbelieving. You can ask Vice Admiral Tsuru for confirmation. Although she might not know either, she's here because of the intelligence Rosinante passed on. She can ask Sengoku for confirmation."

As Sig explained, Momousagi wore an expression of disbelief. However... Sig guessed that part of it was feigned; her surprise was genuine, but it was also partly an instinctive pretense—to lower his guard.

Momousagi is also good at this...

That's why the trauma of being betrayed by Sig was so profound!

Momousagi composed herself, wanting to verify immediately, but still calmly asked, "So... what information are you talking about? It's not about our Navy's undercover identity, is it?"

"No, it concerns his safety, and... another piece of news that is almost as important to the Navy as 'Doflamingo knows his brother is an inside man'!" Sig didn't say it aloud.

Momousagi glanced at Sig, then turned and left.

Sig knew that she hadn't given up, nor had the negotiations broken down; she had simply gone to contact Vice Admiral Tsuru!

Not long after, Momousagi returned.

Although she tried her best not to show any unusual expression, and even walked at the same unhurried pace as before, Sig could still tell that she was not calm inside. Her calm demeanor was just a pretext for bargaining.

"Tell me what you know, and I can try to get you a spot on the first level in Impel Down, where you can act as an 'informant' among the prisoners for the prison administrators. You can even make some small requests each week," Momousagi said coldly.

"No need." Sig said, then closed his eyes, appearing completely at ease.

Having already sensed Momousagi's wavering resolve, how could Sig possibly accept a bargain?

Momousagi was annoyed at the sight, knowing she couldn't Sig, and with time being of the essence, she had no choice but to relent, saying, "Seventy nautical miles to the southeast, there's a small, uninhabited island. If your information is valuable enough... we can leave you there!"

"Thank you," Sig said, sounding a little more sincere.

"What?" Momousagi was taken aback.

At least you and Vice Admiral Tsuru kept your word— Sig thought to himself.

He could naturally tell that Momousagi truly intended to keep her promise; otherwise, Sig would never have told the truth.

"Have Vice Admiral Tsuru go to Minion Island quickly... Not only did Rosinante decide to forcibly seize the Op-Op Fruit for some reason, but... Vergo, who is currently on a mission there, should be a colonel now, right? He is Donquixote Family spy in the Navy!"

Doflamingo has basically locked onto Rosinante. If he's too late, the Donquixote Family will find and kill Rosinante first, then leave with the Op-Op Fruit!

Sig pointed out the Navy's mole—this mole will one day become the commander of the only Navy branch in the New World, posing a great threat!

However, Sig didn't tell the truth about the Op-Op Fruit.

Regardless, Sig didn't want the Celestial Dragons to obtain the Op-Op Fruit, even if Sig didn't know the hidden reasons behind it... But if the Celestial Dragons wanted it, Sig was determined not to let them succeed!

Therefore, Sig didn't mention Law, lest he be captured by the Navy if Op-Op Fruit.

Given Law's hatred for the World Government, obtaining the Op-Op Fruit was also a good thing for Sig.

"Vergo..." Momousagi muttered to herself, then turned and left.

"Hey," Sig called out.

"They'll throw you down when they pass by later!"

"Can I have my Battle Suit back? It was custom-made and is useless to anyone else except me. Besides, Gage definitely installed a self-destruct device on it, so it's not worth researching."

Sig talked a lot, but Momousagi had already walked away.

However, not long after, Momousagi's big-nosed second-in-command came over, released Sig, and threw the "canned food" back to him.

Releasing pirates without permission is such a thing...

Although there were transactions, they were ultimately clandestine and naturally had to be carried out by trusted confidants.

"When we return from Minion Island, we will come to hunt you down. If you fail to escape, you can only blame yourself!" Big Nose said coldly.

Sig didn't say anything; there was no need to argue at this point. He simply limped out.

In this state, if you weren't Fish-Man and didn't have Battle Suit, you really wouldn't be able to escape!

Big Nose led him to a secluded corner of the deck, then was about to kick him off—the uninhabited island was already visible, indeed... quite small, only about half the size of a football field. If it weren't for the two coconut trees, it would be hard to spot!

Of course, it's impossible to send him to the island...

As for how Sig, who has a limp, will leave, that's his own business.

However, as Fish-Man, Momousagi obviously didn't see this as a problem, even though she had a limp.

Sig didn't say much. Before he kicked him, he was about to jump down. But just before jumping, Sig turned to Big Nose and said, "By the way... there's something I need to say to Vice Admiral Momousagi. It's a bit difficult to say it in person, so I carved it on the lock with my fingernail!" After saying that, he splashed into the water.

"Huh?" Big Nose was taken aback by what he heard.

What does it mean that it's not easy to say in person?

You actually developed feelings for him after being kicked out?

While wondering about this, Big Nose decided to go and check out the cell himself first.

Soon after, Big Nose rushed to the Captain!

"How was it? It's already been kicked down, right?" Momousagi said calmly.

"That's right! But, but that guy..." Big Nose said indignantly about what had happened earlier.

Upon hearing Sig's message, Momousagi asked curiously, "So? You went to see it, right?"

Is that guy interested in me and going to confess his feelings?

Momousagi wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark from that Fish-Man's words...

Although she was all smiles, Momousagi was thinking to herself, "If that guy deliberately stays to tease me, next time I catch him, before sending him to Impel Down... Hmph!"

"He wrote...[The Salamander Fruit will be accepted as medical expenses]!" The big-nosed man was so angry his nose almost twisted.

Momousagi:...
