"Oh? What flavor do you want?" Smoker rested her right arm on her leg, ran her deerskin glove over her face, and held a wine glass in her left hand.
However, Sig keenly realized that it wasn't alcohol, but pure fruit juice...
"As you can see, this island... is under my protection from now on! If the Big Mom Pirates have any objections, they can come to me. But you are forbidden from attacking the people here!" Sig deliberately made his words more domineering.
"Heh, who knows..." Smoker said dismissively.
Smoker believed she had figured out Red-Hair' crew and clearly didn't want to clash with the Big Mom Pirates— "You dare hit me?"
But just then, Sig spoke up, "Your wine glass is nice."
Then, in Flash of Lightning, he appeared in front of Smoker, kicked the glass in Smoker's hand, shattering it and splashing juice all over Smoker's face...
Smoker was stunned—she had indeed been distracted for a moment. When Sig praised the "nice glass," she had actually drifted off into thought, recalling how she had gotten the glass.
When he came to his senses, the force of Sig's kick and the falling fruit had already hit his face.
Because of her height advantage, even when Smoker wasn't absorbing water and growing larger, she was about the same height as Sig standing while sitting. However, at that moment, Smoker felt that Sig was looking down on her.
"I don't want to say it a second time, woman." Sig looked at him with an expression reminiscent of Dior.
"You bastard..." Smoker was stunned for a moment, then her anger exploded, and she swung her sword at Sig.
Whether she could win or not is another matter, but if she could tolerate this, then she wouldn't be Smoker Sig. If Sieg were as strong as Big Mom, perhaps she could tolerate it, but... in their previous encounters, Smoker wasn't entirely convinced either.
Sig saw that they had come at just the right time!
Without dodging or avoiding, he used "Armament Haki Hardening + Dragon Scales" on his arms to directly withstand the attack.
Experiencing the power of the "Juice-Juice Fruit" firsthand will make the analysis more effective.
The greatsword slashed horizontally, Sig tried to block it with his right forearm, while also bracing his left hand on top of his right forearm...
With Armament Haki Hardening and the protection of scales, Smoker's attack should not have been enough to shake Sig, yet the greatsword slashed across Sig's body!
Of course, Sig wasn't cut off or even injured. The greatsword simply "passed" through Sig's body and... took away some moisture, with some water splashing out from behind Sig.
Sig could feel that his Armament Haki was taking effect and that his muscles were counteracting it, while the Double Scales felt almost nothing— the Armament Haki and Sig's own muscle strength reduced the amount of water the opponent was "squeezing out," but the scales that were supposed to protect against physical damage were not doing much good.
This is clearly an attack method that ignores external physical defenses; only Haki and internal physical defenses can be effective!
Smoker suffered a crushing defeat to Sig because her abilities were countered, which was indeed somewhat unfair to her. Although she could hardly defeat Smoker without using Sig water-absorbing and expanding technique, she still had potential that could be explored.
Sig appeared to have been slashed through, but only water splashed up, not blood. Moreover... the amount of water lost was nothing to Sig; it only slightly weakened his strength.
The next moment, as Sig retracted his right arm, his muscles bulged and crackled with electricity. Then, with a punch fueled by hardened Armament Haki, he sent Smoker flying, knocking the Juice's sturdy mast askew...
However, immediately afterward, the mast "opened its eyes" and gently bounced, allowing Smoker to quickly stand up. With her three-meter-long legs, she used a kicking technique, imbued with pink Armament Haki, and kicked repeatedly at Sig.
At this moment, Smoker's legs were also covered in a layer of water, and this "water" was as if it were part of her, hardened and strengthened by Armament Haki...
When facing Sig, Smoker no longer dared to absorb water into her body indiscriminately, otherwise, although the attribute bonus would be high, it would be easy for Sig to counter her!
This time, Sig grabbed her calf and was about to throw her, but just as he twisted his waist to get into a shoulder position, Smoker had already wrapped her arms around him and strangled Sig's neck with the back of her knees—of course, due to the size difference, she was basically strangling half of his face as well.
Although he failed to achieve the desired chokehold, he still managed to leap into the air and use the momentum to kick Sig in the waist and abdomen with his other leg.
However, at this moment, Sig's hands suddenly emitted a burst of electricity, causing Smoker, who was protected by Armament Haki, to cry out in alarm. She could no longer afford to attack and could only barely manage to retreat.
Sig could have pursued, but then the mast swept across, and after a flash of golden light in his eyes, Sig retreated slightly...
Just now, because Smoker carefully controlled her intake of water, she absorbed very little water and relied more on external water to strengthen herself, so Sig couldn't draw on the Water Power within her body!
Even without Smoker's full water buff, while her strength is inferior to Sig's, she is not entirely powerless to fight back.
Finally, the "Juice" came to life on its own and attacked Sig —this thing was probably a "Homies," created by Big Mom using her powers to imbue objects or plants with the "power of souls" she had extracted, giving them consciousness and special abilities...
As an important member of the Big Mom Pirates, Smoker's ship is a modified Homies, which can serve as combat power when Smoker is boarded!
However, Sig tried it out briefly...
The Purification ability of the "Sun" system is also effective against Homies, but Sig only sensed it briefly before dodging it, saving this trump card for when dealing with Big Mom. The Homies, who aren't very bright, probably wouldn't pay much attention to this.
At this moment, Strengths and Snack also arrived one after another. Although the two younger sisters were only at the level of ordinary officers and were no match for Sig, they obviously wouldn't just watch their older sister get beaten up. One of them took a large sword and the other took a knight's lance, and they stabbed at the place where Sig was standing, but they only managed to stab the deck!
Before he could react, Sig had already Flash of Lightning behind the chubby girl, Strengths.
"Little..." Snack hadn't even finished saying the word "heart".
Sig placed his index fingers on either side of Strengths's temples, and with a flash of electricity, Strengths was knocked unconscious!
Smoker leaped up in anger and swung down, arriving just as expected, but was once again blocked by Sig's crossed arms...
"Give me... more effort!"
"This level of massage isn't enough for me!"
"You think you can marry me with this? Hah."
"Too weak, definitely not my type..."
Sig seems like a talkative villain, constantly raising his own flag while fighting...
