Sig had realized that once he reached Sequence 6, it would be almost impossible to play the role completely unaffected; all he could do was mitigate the impact.
This applies not only to the "The Hanged Man Path," but to all other Pathway as well!
It was only because of the Hanged Man Path that it was the most perverse and insane, which is why Sig was the most resistant to it and the first to discover it.
In reality, playing the "Visionary Path" would make Sig "detached," leading him to despise all living beings and take pleasure in manipulating people's hearts;
The "Sun Path" will cause Sig to lose himself in the feeling of being worshipped, thus giving him a sense of looking down on everything external;
The "Tyrant Path" will make Sig irritable and addicted to using violence and coercion;
Passing by the White Tower will cause Sig's rationality to expand infinitely, until it completely suppresses his emotional side...
To minimize side effects, one must either use the role with the least impact on oneself, or cleverly utilize and offset each other.
Sig is now striving to complete the role of "Rose Bishop" entirely using only Oz's corpse, without having to deal with two masters!
After the separated souls merged into Oz's corpse in the form of shadows, Sig himself also "parasitized" it—it looked as if Sig had "entered" Oz's heart.
Oz's body, though frozen, had many wounds, not to mention the necrotic parts inside.
In the original work, Oz's zombie also had bandages wrapped around its body and traces of stitches.
However, Sig doesn't intend to repair it so obviously. Instead, he plans to use the Rose Bishop's ability to parasitize Oz's flesh and blood, allowing his own flesh and blood to merge with the Rose Bishop's, and then stimulating Oz's flesh and blood to regenerate on its own...
During this time, Sig not only had to constantly resist the remnants of Oz's will within his flesh and blood and the counterattack of the "Pale Soul," adjusting it with the abilities of the "Visionary" lineage, but also had to use the abilities of the "White Tower" lineage to analyze Oz's physical structure!
As Ancient Giant Tribe, Oz's body was functionally completely different from that of a human; it was not simply a matter of scaling up and increasing its mass.
This is completely different from the "Giant Race" that Sig previously knew.
Logically, the physiological differences between Giant Race and humans are not that great.
The most significant point...
In his analysis of Oz, Sig not only discovered many unfamiliar organs, joint structures, and muscle fiber components, but also clearly knew that Oz and humans were reproductively isolated!
There is no reproductive isolation between humans and Giant Race, or between any race.
Because Sig was completely unfamiliar with Oz's body, Oz initially experienced abnormal growth of flesh and blood...
If not careful, Oz could grow into a Distortion mass of rotting flesh.
After all, Oz isn't regenerating on his own; he's a corpse that, through the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, has the potential to be reactivated. Then, Sig parasitizes him and forcibly activates his regeneration...
The abilities of the "Hanged Man" lineage are inherently prone to going out of control.
If Sig didn't have the other four "Paths of the Divine," he would likely be suffering the consequences— Oz would be uncontrollably regenerating into a lump of rotting flesh, and the parasitic Sig himself would be unable to leave, only gradually being assimilated.
In a mysterious world, the Rose Bishop, in a moment of desperation, decides to parasitize Mythical Creature she doesn't understand...
However, thanks to the abilities of the "White Tower" lineage, Sig is constantly analyzing Oz's "unfamiliar body," and this knowledge acts as a rein, greatly limiting the progress of the mutation.
The more you understand and the more knowledge you have, the less likely you are to lose control.
At the same time, Sig uses the abilities of the "Sun" system to erase the abnormal growth of flesh and blood, constantly tracing back to the source.
In this way, although Hogback saw some horrifying scenes, such as tumors growing from various wounds on Oz's body, and even internal organs and eyes growing out of them, golden flames immediately wiped away these Error growths!
Furthermore, abnormal growth is decreasing, while normal repair is increasing...
While Sig was working hard to analyze Oz and properly regenerate the body's flesh and blood, Moria's Thriller Bark was also getting closer and closer to Mayo Island.
At the same time, several CP9 combatants dressed in black suits and top hats also infiltrated the ship.
Of course, their infiltration was only outward-facing; Moria knew of their existence, and they were also tasked with communicating between CP0 and Moria —the ones who would actually take action were mainly CP0's top agents.
As agreed, Moria piloted Thriller Bark and headed straight for Mayo Island, preparing to fight Captain John to the death, and unleashed a large number of zombie cannon fodder to storm Captain John's port.
CP0 combatants will infiltrate Mayo Island when the opportunity arises...
Although not explicitly stated, Moria had some guesses based on his experiences in Wano Country.
Captain John may have information about a scientist who previously collaborated with Kaido, and now the goal of CP0, or rather the World Government, is likely to kidnap that scientist, rather than letting him fall directly into Kaido's hands.
For some reason, the navy was not involved in this operation.
If we only consider CP Organization, only CP9 and CP0 can play a role in battles of the scale of Captain John's Pirates, lacking cannon fodder.
While CP1 through CP8 had a number of combatants, they were all trained as spies; it would be too reckless to simply use them as cannon fodder.
At this time, Moria, who had just fled Wano Country and had previously created zombies in the West Blue, attracted the attention of the World Government.
Moria definitely won't be with Kaido. Moreover, his ability to create zombies not only fills the gap in the need for low-level cannon fodder, but Moria himself was also Great Pirate who dared to challenge Kaido back then, so his combat strength is worth looking forward to!
The World Government has also promised that, following this incident, Moria will be granted the title of Shichibukai...
"This isn't what we agreed on!" Moria exclaimed excitedly, waiting for the young CP9 member before him.
However, the other person's young face was full of indifference, an attitude that made Moria curse inwardly once again—are all the "newcomers" these days so arrogant?
Another CP9 member, slightly older but still young, and at least sporting a small mustache, said, "Captain Moria should be more relieved... shouldn't he? Wasn't Captain Moria worried before that there were no more places for the Shichibukai? We did know that all along, so this proves we weren't lying to you."
The mustachioed man's words clearly did not satisfy Moria, but... seeing that they were almost at Mayo Island, he couldn't turn back.
Moria was so excited because on Mayo Island, two flags were visible to the naked eye—one with a double-sword skull, and the other... a skull with a bull's horn and a large sword!
This is the pirate flag of Power, one of the Shichibukai, a giant of the Giant Race, Pawa "Mountain Mover".
