"It seems I really underestimated the follower of this most ferocious Fish-Man's spirit!"
The Momonga's low, self-talking growl did not escape Sig's notice of his Observation Haki.
In Momonga's view, the World Government's decision to pardon the other members of the Sun Pirates after eliminating the ringleader, and even to grant Jinbe the title of Shichibukai, in order to ease relations between humans and Fish-Man Race, is definitely one of the wisest decisions in recent years.
However, in this way, Siegfried, a vicious man who harbors hatred for Fisher Tiger's death and is willing to leave the Sun Pirates to fight the World Government to the end, is undoubtedly lacking in common sense.
Not only are they a threat to the World Government, but even... for the Fish-Man Race, the fewer of these guys, the better.
Sig grinned at the Momonga's assessment. "Yes, whether it's Fisher Tiger or me... they've underestimated it too much! From now on, please carry this regret and remorse with you until your demise!"
After Sig's entire body hardened, he displayed a deep blue Armament Haki, which seemed to have intensified in color.
"Regret and remorse?" the Momonga asked skeptically.
The next moment, in Flash of Lightning, Sig disappeared from the mast, and then instantly appeared in front of the Momonga, his entire body crackling with electricity!
Sig's speed at this moment was at the limit of his Observation Haki. Even though Momonga's Observation Haki was stronger in terms of detail perception, he could only barely react.
In a hasty exchange of blows, slashes and lightning clashed, and under Sig's deliberate guidance, the aftershocks spread outwards—after all, they were on the Momonga's warship, surrounded by the Navy!
The Momonga was still locked in a stalemate, while the surrounding marines were screaming from the electric shocks. Even those who managed to block the aftershocks of the electric shocks were of no help whatsoever.
As Sig blocked the sword with his fist hardened by Armament Haki, he replied, "That's right, regret for 'believing that killing Fisher Tiger would extinguish the slaves' rebellious spirit,' and remorse for 'misjudging Fisher Tiger as the most ferocious Fish-Man.'"
This was Sig's first time facing an elite Vice Admiral was almost on equal footing...
The silent protests against all that was once resentful have now transformed into a raging thunderbolt. It may not have shaken the heavens and the earth yet, but it has already resounded with thunder!
The impotent rage that once raged has now been tamed by Sig, transformed into a part of his power, flowing intensely yet calmly within his heart!
The humiliation of being a slave, which was once forbidden to be touched by anyone, has gradually transformed into inner motivation. It was even brought up by Sig himself, leading the Momonga to instinctively guess that this guy might have been a slave once too!
"You... did you eat Logia Lightning-Lightning Fruit?" Momonga didn't know the exact name, but he could tell Sig's ability.
The Germa Kingdom's human modifications could never reach this level!
"Guess," Sig didn't answer directly.
Upon hearing this, the Mole couldn't help but get distracted and instinctively tried to "guess" based on Sig's words.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the Mole's distraction, Sig focused some of his strength on his left hand. While his right fist remained poised to strike, his left hand retracted slightly, his fingers curling back, and a ball of water crackling with electricity appeared in his palm...
Fish-Man Jujutsu: Water-Splitting Thunder Ball!
The Momonga snapped back to reality in an instant, but by then, Sig had already pressed the "Water-Splitting Thunder Ball" against its chest and abdomen!
Despite the Armament Haki Hardening defense, the Mole still felt a Water Power from the spot in its chest and abdomen where it had been struck, eroding the joints of its spine and hips. At the same time, waves of electricity were also transmitting through its nerves and internal organs.
However, the Momonga, having suffered a heavy blow, did not react by retreating to recover. Instead, it gripped its longsword with both hands and launched a counterattack against Sig...
Steel Sword - Wings Spread and Break!
The blades held by the Momonga's hands unleashed a dark red slash, the sword energy spreading like wings, cleaving through the lightning with the Momonga's horizontal slash.
After forcing Sig back with a direct confrontation, the Momonga finally coughed up blood.
If it weren't for the Momonga's hardening, which had reached the point of being effective from the outside in, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as just vomiting blood.
"I see..." The Momonga looked at Sig and exclaimed out of the blue.
Then, keeping his hands still gripping the Momonga, he held it upright, pointing it directly at Sig, and said, "I must correct what I just said. You... are the most ferocious Fish-Man!"
The Momonga originally thought that Siegfried was a hysterical person who was filled with hatred, unable to let go of the past, and blind to everything else.
However, after seeing Sig's eyes and sensing his will, the Momonga understood...
Before them was not a camel carrying "Fisher Tiger's ghost," but... a lion ready to tear its prey apart and let its roar echo across the savanna!
Watching the lightning flicker on the navy's lead ship from afar, Beckman asked softly, "Are they really not going to make a move?"
"Let him vent! He's been holding back for too long. Besides, our goal wasn't to kill Marine Vice Admiral or anything like that. Let him handle it himself." Shanks looked kindly in Sig's direction.
Shanks said, glancing at another warship in the distance, "But what if someone else intervenes..."
A naval sniper was seen aiming at the main ship from a distance; judging by his rank, he was a field officer.
However, the next moment... he was shot in the head by Yasopp —at that distance, he was completely unprepared until his death.
Shanks did not make a move. Normally, according to Shanks' usual style, there would be no battle at all. Instead, he would have avoided the situation if he found that the Navy was going to surround him.
However, while Shanks is not a vicious pirate who seeks to kill his enemies, he is by no means someone who would intentionally let his enemies go unpunished.
Just like when he was young, when Buggy criticized him for being "too detached from worldly desires as a pirate," Shanks would humbly accept the criticism and charge towards his target with his crew— Shanks didn't care about being ridiculed for fleeing in defeat, nor did he care about getting splattered with blood while killing...
The Red-Hair Pirates rarely kill or engage in death battles, not because they suppress their killing intent out of emotion, but because there are very few reasons that could tempt them to kill.
Neither the interests nor the vanity that are important to other pirates will make them want to kill.
However, having realized how important this was to Sig, Shanks didn't say anything like "there's no need to cause casualties," but instead said, "Alright, then it's up to you."
In comparison, Beckman would be even more ruthless than Shanks when facing enemies.
Despite his seemingly kind demeanor, Beckman is actually the ruthless and dark "Moon" representing the Red-Hair Pirates.
At this point, what he questioned was, "Since it's already been done, why not be more thorough?" -- Looking at the current situation, it would be somewhat difficult for Sig to leave behind an elite Vice Admiral on his own.
In a way, killing Fisher Tiger was indeed a loss for the World Government...
There will never be another Great Pirate who binds himself to the principle of "not killing"!
