"It really works!"
"Is this the power of the Fish-Man Race?"
"No... ordinary Fish-Man wouldn't do, would they? Otherwise, they would have already taken over the island in the Calm Belt..."
To the astonishment of Morio and Yasopp, Sig "shocked" a Sea King with a tortoise-like shell and a dolphin-like head, which dragged a small boat through the Calm Belt.
The other Sea King in the vicinity dared not approach, and the small boat sailed confidently through the Calm Belt.
According to Sig, this was a gesture of "face" from those previously gigantic Sea King.
In that case, Yasopp and Morio easily understand—isn't it reasonable that "saving face can enhance Conqueror's Haki"?
As for why the colossal Sea King would give Sig face, Yasopp and Morio could only guess that it was related to the "promise" Sig.
This is certainly not something that the "Fish-Man Race" alone could accomplish. Otherwise, there are some small islands in the Calm Belt, and if they truly had this ability, the Fish-Man Race would have already occupied them.
Just like the "Daughter Country" located in the Calm Belt, it can occupy Daughter Island and resist the World Government's attack by relying on two "serpents" that can intimidate Sea King.
Of course, Sig's "commands" were very limited, and before long the Sea King refused to go any further—because the area ahead was no longer its territory!
Let alone making Sea King fight desperately, simply removing them from their activity range will cause them to resist.
However, if it was just about getting somewhere quickly, it wouldn't be a problem— Sig quickly used Conqueror's Haki to "command" the nearby Sea King, switched vehicles, and continued on his way...
"This ability is incredibly convenient in the Calm Belt."
"No, it's just too convenient in the Grand Line... we can come and go at any time."
Yasopp and Morio discussed Sig's abilities.
Sea King are rare in the four seas, and even when they are occasionally seen, they are usually Sea King. In the Grand Line, Sea King are relatively more numerous, but they are still not easy to encounter. In the Calm Belt, Sea King are extremely dense, and without protection, it is easy to be surrounded by Sea King.
For Sig now, "navigating" in the Calm Belt is actually more convenient.
"Speaking of which... is this truly the Voice of All Things?" Yasopp looked at Sig with astonishment.
The ordinary crew members didn't know, but Yasopp, as an "old-timer" in the Red-Hair Pirates, did know Shanks's background.
Because Shanks didn't say much about Sig's "Voice of All Things," Yasopp had previously thought that Sig was mistaken and that it wasn't the same ability as Roger's.
However, it seems that he cannot judge whether he is like Roger, so saying that he "Voice of All Things" is not an exaggeration!
"Huh? Haven't I always said that I have the ability to 'Voice of All Things'?" Sig retorted.
"You can have a good talk with the boss when you get back." Yasopp didn't specifically hide Shanks' background from Sig, but he didn't reveal it himself either.
Soon Sig and his companions left the Calm Belt. What they would face next was the unpredictable weather of the Grand Line, as well as the conflicts between the small boats that couldn't withstand the storms.
However, with the "Jaya Island Eternal Pose" given to him by Morio, Sig's journey was "sunny and calm" —Morio and Yasopp also noticed that Sig would sometimes "inexplicably" deviate from the course, and the route seemed to be crooked and erratic, but... three days after leaving the Calm Belt, they did not experience a single storm.
Given the frequency of extreme weather along the Grand Line, this is clearly unusual.
Considering Sig's "chaotic" flight paths, this anomaly clearly demonstrates that Sig was indeed able to predict extreme weather and avoid it in advance; on one occasion, he even narrowly escaped a storm...
After a small trial run, Sig's portrayal of the "Seafarer" has also made some progress.
Perhaps because the boat is too small, progress is not obvious.
When they arrived near Jaya Island, Sig deliberately did not disembark at the port, but instead circled around – after all, sailing in such a small boat on the Grand Line would be too conspicuous.
Now, Sig and his two companions are completely able to conceal their identities...
Since Sig appears in his Pure Human form, few people can recognize him. As members of the Red-Hair Pirates, Yasopp and Morio can also completely conceal their identities and not be easily recognized when the Red-Hair Pirates are not docked.
Sig did this simply to keep a low profile, but when the three of them landed and arrived in Mock Town, they realized how wise their decision was—a naval fleet was docked at Jaya Island!
Especially upon seeing the Sea King -class flagship, all three understood that this was a naval fleet led by a Vice Admiral.
Sig quietly climbed onto the port's lighthouse and glanced towards the harbor. He noticed that the flagship looked somewhat familiar... but not entirely.
"Codename Vice Admiral? I hope it is." Yasopp said, glancing at Sig, and adding in his mind: I also hope it's not Kizaru!
The flagship of Sea King -class ship is generally a vice Vice Admiral's vessel. If not, it's possible that it will encounter admirals like Vice Admiral Garp or Vice Admiral Tsuru, who are even more difficult to deal with than Admiral.
Therefore, the best codename is Vice Admiral, as it's relatively more controllable. As for Kizaru...
Yasopp was worried that Sig might do something irrational!
"It's Gion," Sig said directly.
"Huh? You saw him?" Yasopp looked around in surprise—even though my Observation Haki is the strongest for long-range target acquisition...
"No, I just recognized the ship," Sig said, staring at the flagship in the direction of the harbor.
Naval warships are all standardized, and generally, warships of the same model have little difference in appearance.
However, Sig's "Detective" abilities were undeniable; every detail was clearly imprinted in his mind.
Even though the warships would wear and tear and require repairs as they sailed, Sig was able to incorporate these into his "reasoning" and simulate them, recognizing the differences between these flagships.
Sig only saw Gion's flagship once—when they were escaping from Giant Axe's lair, a naval fleet came to their aid. The fleet's flagship at the time was also Sea King-class battleship. Sig didn't see Gion then, but he knew from newspaper reports that Gion had arrived as reinforcements.
Like Momousagi, Gion is also a candidate for Admiral, but his popularity is significantly lower than that of Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru. As for Momousagi...
Her previous defeats had essentially cost her her position as Admiral.
Even if Aokiji retire, as members of the same cohort, although they are much younger, the next generation of Admiral will basically only be promoted from among the "newcomers".
However, Gion still has a chance now. After all, when they were at Giant Axe's lair, he arrived as reinforcements quite early, even before the orders were given. It wasn't his fault...
