"Your Angel! There are other trial participants around, and not just one group!" Shura rode his three-foot-long bird, circling in the air a few times.
"It's alright, as long as it's resolved cleanly and efficiently..." Angel wasn't going to give up.
During the Sea Trial, attacking each other is not allowed. However, as long as the score cards are not directly stolen, minor friction or accidental injury during the "monster-stealing" process is generally tolerated.
If it takes a lot of effort, the two trial teams nearby might try to take advantage of the situation.
Sig then reached out and stopped Angel...
Meeting Angel's questioning gaze, Sig said, "Leave it to me."
"Eh?" Angel certainly didn't doubt that Sig could handle the Cloud Fierce Beast, but wanted to finish the battle quickly.
The giant, toad-like Cloud Fierce Beast seemed to have reached its limit with the way these "little ones" were dawdling in front of it, and it was about to launch an attack.
However, when faced with the enormous Cloud Fierce Beast, Sig only stretched out one hand, showing no sign of preparing for battle.
It wasn't just the trial teams waiting to take advantage of the chaos... The situation here, broadcast live, also attracted the attention of many Spectator.
There are clearly quite a few people interested in Seven's abilities.
However, in the very next moment...
It wasn't that the arrogant "Seven" was sent flying, nor that "Seven" unleashed astonishing power and instantly killed the Cloud Fierce Beast, but rather...
The enormous Cloud Fierce Beast obediently pressed its head against Sig's palm!
The disproportionately large dimensions made the scene particularly striking.
"Have you eaten anything strange lately? Throw it out," Sig said calmly, stroking the Cloud Fierce Beast's head.
Like ordinary Sea King, the Cloud Fierce Beast could also be "commanded" by Sig's blessed Conqueror's Haki —only then did Sig realize that the "Seven Seas" mentioned by those Giant Sea Kings must have included the White Sea.
And...
As expected, the Cloud Fierce Beast in the White Sea and the Sea King in the Blue Sea are the same kind of creatures!
Then, in full view of everyone, the Cloud Fierce Beast, ordered by Sig, vomited repeatedly and spat out the scoreboard—a scoreboard with 7 points.
"You recognize it? Or... do you mean... the Fish-Man can actually communicate with the Cloud Ferocious?" Angel asked in surprise.
"This is very similar to the Sea King of the Blue Sea. I... have a strong affinity with Sea King." Sig couldn't explain the reason behind it.
"You can communicate with all the Cloud Fierce Beast?" Ohm quickly asked Sig to confirm.
"I think it should be possible," Sig readily agreed.
Meanwhile, in the Spectator, Lucky Roo tore off another piece of meat and devoured it, while the little man with glasses watched this scene with a gleam in his eye...
"Sig... he really knows how to cause trouble! What's his purpose? Oh well... I'll just ask him when he gets back!" Lucky Roo muttered to himself, then looked in the other two directions of the overly spacious Spectator.
This place is practically a hollow mountain; even the dueling arena in Dressrosa pales in comparison.
However, Lucky Roo had already pinpointed the locations of the three groups of pirates from the Blue Sea!
Two of the groups were top performers from the first half of the Grand Line, and there was another group I didn't recognize, but they looked like they might be from the West Blue.
Since they're here, this scene should get back to the Blue Sea —a Fish-Man capable of commanding Sea King has appeared!
Although pirates often embellish their adventures with artistic flair, and even if they did, few would believe them, it would still create a small buzz...
Lucky Roo believed that Sig must understand this as well, so he was definitely not worried about being exposed or had his own motives!
Logically, if it were "Voice of All Things," it would definitely be targeted by the World Government —after all, that was Roger's ability.
However, Lucky Roo didn't know was that Sig was indeed planning to be slightly "exposed"...
However, given the difficulty of communication between the White Sea and the Blue Sea, it's uncertain how credible the information would be once it reached the lower levels. Moreover, Sig is certain that even if Shanks has doubts about whether his ability to "Voice of All Things" is correct, the World Government would never be wrong!
In the original work, the mysterious boss of the World Government, Imu, once had to choose between Luffy, Shirahoshi, and Princess Vivi, which shows that "he" was aware of Shirahoshi's special status.
Imu, who has lived for countless years, clearly knows about "Sea King." Shirahoshi's Sea King abilities have been exposed twice, each time with numerous eyewitnesses...
Therefore, the World Government would never mistake Voice of All Things," but would only suspect that Sig is " Sea King "!
In this way, with Sig acting as a smokescreen, Fish-Man Island and Princess Shirahoshi are relatively safer—because of Fisher Tiger, Sig's goodwill towards the Fish-Man Race is instinctive.
Furthermore, Sig wasn't too worried about being targeted.
In the original work, even though Imu knew about Sea King, he still didn't immediately do anything to Shirahoshi.
The World Government's attitude towards Pluton, another "Ancient Weapon," offers a clue...
Although Spandam, Rob Lucci, and other CP9 agents in the original work attributed Robin's importance to "clues related to Pluton," in reality, when the Five Elders mentioned Robin, they were only worried about "the Void Century" or "the truth of Laugh Tale." As for Pluton... he came later!
Playing the role of a "Shadow Ascetic" made Sig realize that simply hiding was not the best option. If the World Government equated Sig's importance with that of "Sea King," then there would be some surprises later. It was better than being regarded as the real "Voice of All Things" on the way to help the Red-Hair Pirates find Laugh Tale.
More importantly, Sig plans to gradually lay the groundwork for Sea King's identity—firstly, to muddy the waters and keep the World Government from figuring out which side is real, and secondly, and more importantly... to play the role in advance!
The Tyrant Path Sequence 3 is "Sea King," and "Sea King" has a different meaning in this world.
Sig believes that being recognized as "Sea King" by the World Government would greatly help his role.
This is just the first step; Sig will continue to demonstrate his abilities...
Playing the role of Sequence 3 ahead of time will greatly help with advancement through the "Tyrant Path".
Meanwhile, watching Sig's performance on the "live stream," Lucky Roo couldn't help but grin and say, "He's completely starting to bully me..."
That's right, from the moment he discovered the first Cloud Fierce Beast, Sig began to intentionally "command" it to find its own kind.
The scoreboard was secondary; what truly unsettled the others was the increasing number of Cloud Fierce Beast under Sig's "commands"!
Night had fallen, and Mutel had already collected three hundred points, more than half of which came from the Cloud Fierce Beast. Under Sig's "command," more than twenty Cloud Fierce Beast were approaching Axedevo's territory.
This was also thanks to the high density of Cloud Fierce Beast in the Sea of Giant Beasts. Furthermore, their "collective hunting" behavior made even the relatively unintelligent Cloud Fierce Beast feel threatened, so Sig's "orders" were carried out without any resistance...
