Fury

After an unknown amount of time, Sig woke up from his coma and found himself in a hospital bed in what appeared to be a small clinic.

Bananaman was clinging to Sig's back, blocking the Sun Pirates' symbol...

"You... you're awake? Wait a moment, the doctor will be here soon!" The nurse beside him looked at Sig with some panic.

Sig could guess the reason—even if he didn't recognize himself as a Sun Pirates, the Sword of Freedom tattoo was still there, the handcuffs were still there, and Bananaman's energy at the time wasn't enough to conjure up the entire outfit.

While no one believes Sig is connected to the Fish-Man Pirates, it's generally accepted that he was one of the smaller pirates caught up in the battle!

Sig looked at the bulletin board in the corner, ignored the nurse, got out of bed and went over. He found that the top one was dated January 9, 1508—which should also be today's date. Unlike on the high seas, newspapers on these small islands were delivered daily by News Bird.

Two days have passed since Sig witnessed Fisher Tiger being pierced by Kizaru's lightsaber...

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of the Mary Geoise upheaval and the second anniversary of Sig's departure to sea.

Sig looked at the front page of the cover with a slight tremor...

Fisher Tiger, the most notorious Fish-Man thug, has been slain on Baelen Island!

Below that is a smaller line of text, with the subtitle. "The Fish-Man Pirates suffer heavy losses, Vice Admiral Kizaru's reputation soars."

Sig, newspaper in hand, silently walked out of the ward, ignoring the nurse who had secretly pressed the alarm.

The most evil Fish-Man?

The most evil Fish-Man...

If this is the "worst" one, sooner or later the World Government will see an even "worst" Fish-Man!

As he walked out step by step, Sig revealed his Fish-Man form...

Standing in the open space in front of the clinic, Sig wanted to roar to vent his anger, but instinctively he couldn't make a sound.

At this moment, Sig finally understood the difference between Fisher Tiger's anger towards the world and his own anger.

In the past, whether it was slave traders or Justice sailors, Sig only felt a burning rage driven by hatred when facing them.

At this moment, Sig's heart was no longer filled with hatred, but with endless "anger"—anger at his own powerlessness; anger at his own helplessness in the face of everything.

If the essence of "Sailor" is freedom, then the essence of "the People of Fury" is recognizing the impotence of anger and experiencing the endless resentment in the face of a fate that one cannot change.

At this moment, all five Pathway in Sig's sea of consciousness had advanced to Sequence 7, yet Sig felt no joy, only resentment...

Sig sat cross-legged on the open ground, reading the front-page report as if no one else was around.

At the last moment, Fisher Tiger tore open a chain net, allowing most of the Sun Pirates to escape under Jinbe's leadership...

However, judging from the changes in the bounty, that idiot Arlong is indeed among the small group that was captured.

"Today, the Sun Pirates set sail! I, Fisher Tiger, as Captain, hereby announce three rules: First, regardless of time, place, or circumstance, whether Fish-Man or any other race, we will never kill. This is our bottom line..."

"You... what did you figure out? I'm sorry, Little Fei... I wasn't targeting you..."

"I will never allow my fellow countrymen to be slaves, not even for a few days!"

"We... will not kill anyone!"

"Queen Otohime was right after all. Koala... is the future of Fish-Man and humans."

When Sig came to his senses, he was already surrounded, but they were just some ordinary navy personnel and the island's security force.

"You're surrounded! Hands up... What pirate crew are you from? Are you wanted?" A junior officer led the way, while the surrounding marines pointed their Fire Pistol at Sieg in the Sig.

Kizaru's elite force had already left, and Sig was just a "small-time pirate from who-knows-where." Because he was human, he had no connection with the Fish-Man Pirates, so there was no need to trouble the elite forces at headquarters. Currently, it was just the ordinary Marines still on the island who were dealing with him.

Sig stood up, looked around, and his somewhat unfocused gaze suddenly sharpened. Instantly, an invisible mental shock swept across the area, and the surrounding marines collapsed to the ground without warning...

The Visionary Path, Sequence 7 "Psychiatrist" ability - Intimidation, is also known as "Dragon's Might" because the Pathway Ancient God in the original work is the "Dragon of Fantasy".

This sea is called...

"H... Conqueror's Haki?" The sniper, who was much further away and had escaped from the rooftop, stared at the "little pirate" in astonishment.

Just as he tightened his grip on the trigger, Sig turned and met his gaze...

"Ah!" the sniper exclaimed, then scrambled away from the other side of the roof.

Sig showed no intention of pursuing. At this moment, his Conqueror's Haki, and there were still many unaffected non-combatants on the outer perimeter who were watching him in panic.

Sig did not make another move, but walked step by step towards the sea, disappearing into the ocean amidst the tension of the Baelen residents.

On January 14, 1508, Sig sat on a small raft, lost in thought.

Sig didn't know where to go either—he definitely couldn't go to the meeting place he had arranged with Fisher Tiger.

Just then, News Bird spotted Sig and landed on a "mast" that was only as tall as a person. Sig took the newspapers from the past few days from it.

He simply glanced at the front page, and when he turned to yesterday's paper, Sig couldn't help but clench it, causing the paper to immediately crumple.

Yesterday's newspaper had two front pages—one on the left and one on the right—both featuring portraits, and coincidentally, Sig knew both of them!

Silver Axe, who was defeated by the Sun Pirates a year ago, and another Shichibukai, who was defeated by the Red-Hair Pirates half a year ago, have now been replaced. It seems that after a period of deliberation, the World Government has made up its mind to maintain the policy of the Shichibukai, using the Great Pirate it has recruited as one of the poles of balance of power at sea.

Two new Shichibukai have also been chosen...

On the left is a woman with a very large forehead. Although their temperaments are completely different, Sig, who had a premonition, was reminded of her past appearance—it was Hancock he had met briefly two years ago during the chaos Sig Mary Geoise.

In just two years, Hancock became the Captain of the Kuja Pirates and the queen of Daughter Country. In order to protect Daughter Country from invasion, she accepted the title from the World Government.

Hancock's photo in the newspaper captivated countless hearts, but Sig only glanced at it before focusing his attention on the photo on the right!

The new Captain of the Sun Pirates — Knight of the Sea, Jinbe!

Jinbe, the leader, accepted the title of Shichibukai...

After the death of Fisher Tiger, the "culprit," the World Government also put "easing relations with the Fish-Man Race" on its desk. It is conceivable that when the news of Fisher Tiger's death reached Fish-Man Island, public opinion in the Ryugu Kingdom was already boiling, and Queen Otohime's years of propaganda were ruined.

Fisher Tiger's life saved face for the World Government, which began to reconsider its relationship with the Fish-Man Race.

That's why Jinbe was invited!

Sig could understand that Jinbe accepted the title of Fisher Tiger in order to carry out Shichibukai's will, as a step towards reconciliation between the Fish-Man Race and the World Government.

Only in this way could Arlong and others who were previously arrested be pardoned, and in the updated bounty list, the bounties for all Sun Pirates, including Sig, have been cancelled.

However... merely understanding is not enough for Sig!
