"Ah! How dare you! Who are you?" After Miss Buckingham woke up, she was initially nervous, but then... upon discovering that her mentally challenged son was awake, she immediately felt confident.
However, what made Miss Buckingham somewhat uneasy was why that foolish son was standing behind this "Fish-Man."
It was still that silly face, but... Miss Buckingham always felt that there was some dissatisfaction in his gaze?
Under normal circumstances, Miss Buckingham would have already struck with her cane, but now, with this extremely ferocious Fish-Man between them, Miss Buckingham hesitated to act rashly.
They were especially counting on this silly kid to get rid of the Fish-Man!
"My foolish son, throw this guy down..."
Miss Buckingham had just tried to order the Whitey Bay- Whitey Bay man around when he immediately shouted, "Shut up! You... old hag! Don't you dare be rude to Brother Sig!"
"You... you bastard! What did you call your Mom gave you life? You brat, aren't you...?"
"Don't try to fool me! I'm not your son, nor am I Whitebeard's son... Humph! I know everything!" Whitey Bay said angrily.
Yeah, I know that, but I don't really remember it...
In short, he knew that his birth was related to the Whitebeard and the old hag, but that didn't mean they were benevolent. In fact, the old hag had been using him before!
Whitey Bay's logic and emotional intelligence have now reached an astonishing level, comparable to that of a twelve-year-old, unlike when he was five or six.
It wasn't that Sig performed any Subordinate Deity treatment on him, but rather because their "growth" paths were different...
Previously, Sig had accompanied him through those fourteen years from the moment he woke up—because it was a dream, the real time was only one day, not a real time travel or rebirth simulation, but rather a kind of efficient information infusion.
But Sig and Miss Buckingham are different...
To make it easier to manipulate him, Miss Buckingham never considered his personality development or shaped his way of thinking. Instead, she used a PUA-style education that emphasized "just listen to your Mom."
Sig was different; he truly accompanied Whitey Bay as he grew, cultivating his ability to think for himself and teaching him the most basic principles...
As it turns out, Whitey Bay's intelligence was indeed insufficient to make him a normal person, he wasn't destined to be a complete idiot or even a tool, as he had been before.
The Whitey Bay now has the logical thinking of a twelve-year-old, but his intelligence... might not be able to understand sixth-grade material!
Sig didn't improve Whitey Bay's condition; his mind was still the same. However, he tried his best to cultivate his own thinking, instead of remaining as muddled as before.
So he definitely seems much smarter than before, at least he can tell that Miss Buckingham is using him!
That's how the scene we're witnessing came about...
"Whitey Bay, what do you want to do about her?" Sig asked his younger brother for his opinion.
"Solve it?" The Whitey Bay paused, clearly Big Fool.
"Ah! Wait, wait! What do you want to do? You want to kill your mother... At least I've taken care of you for so long..." Miss Buckingham realized what was happening and panicked.
"Is that what you call taking care of someone? You've just been exploiting this Whitey Bay to make money, haven't you?" Sig said disdainfully.
"Kill? Ah! So that's what you mean by kill! Big brother, you know a lot." The Whitey Bay said with a chuckle.
However, the Whitey Bay boy frowned and said, "Kill him... or maybe we shouldn't kill him..." As he spoke, he looked at Sig cautiously, as if worried that his older brother would be angry.
"You decide... Well, although she didn't exactly take care of you, if you want to let her off the hook in the end to offset the feelings you had for her, that's fine too... As expected of Whitey Bay, she really is a good kid who values relationships!" Sig praised instead.
At the same time...
Sig was also very tactful, subtly implying to the Whitey Bay —let her go, and then you'll owe her nothing, no favors whatsoever!
Miss Buckingham breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly said, "Wait a minute... I'm an old woman. If you leave me here unattended, I'll still die. Besides... I can be Ship Doctor..."
Sig pursed his lips, clearly not needing a Ship Doctor, but then, as if remembering something, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he said, "That's right, then we'll see her off..."
Before Miss Buckingham could even react, Sig added, "Let's send her to Whitebeard! Didn't she say she was Whitebeard's most beloved woman? And that she even got that Devil Fruit from Whitebeard's blood!"
Upon hearing this, the Whitey Bay immediately nodded and said, "As expected of my elder brother! That's right, send her to the Whitebeard, and then I will owe her nothing!"
"Um... well, that's not necessary..." Miss Buckingham pondered for a moment, realizing that she had accumulated quite a treasure over the years using the Whitey Bay.
If she unearths the treasure and chooses a safe place, she can at least become a rich woman. But if she's sent to Whitebeard's place, I'm afraid...
However, Sig didn't give her a chance to refuse. Based on his memory of the newspaper's contents, he decided to go and ambush the "Great Whirlpool Spider Pirates"!
The Great Whirlpool Spider Pirates were a subordinate pirate crew of Whitebeard. Their Captain, Scoyard, had a grudge against Roger, but was one of Whitebeard's "sons."
Sig remembered seeing in the newspaper the day before yesterday that the Great Whirlpool Spider Pirates had been spotted near the Kingdom of Prodence.
With the New World approaching, Whitebeard's sons, Big Mom's children who haven't taken maternity leave, and the subordinates of other powerful figures have all begun to actively operate within the Navy's sphere of influence, which can be seen as a kind of "warm-up."
As long as no particularly important figures arrive, it shouldn't provoke a major counterattack from the Navy.
Yes, of course we should hand over "Lady White" to Whitebeard's son!
If Sieg were to confront Whitebeard directly, Sig might be so overjoyed that he'd burst into tears and choke on the spot...
It just so happens that Sig also brought the Eternal Pose of the Kingdom of Prodence —to be precise, Sig brought the Eternal Pose of several surrounding kingdoms!
The small boat Sig is currently riding in doesn't technically have sails, but Sig himself hid a makeshift sail and mast in the shadows, attached them to the boat, and then propelled it by the wind—how convenient!
In the following day and a half, Miss Buckingham Jin did consider secretly trying to Weevil back—after all, he was just a fool—but... firstly, Weevil had become much smarter; secondly, with the psychological master Sig around, Miss Buckingham had no chance; and thirdly, Miss Buckingham herself would never try to win him over!
Previously, Weevil was obedient because she had been using manipulation tactics since "birth." Now, with Sig as a comparison, Weevil is not falling for her tricks at all. Moreover, even if she wanted to "win over" Weevil, Miss Buckingham still had an annoying demeanor, which naturally only made Weevil, who had "thought normally," dislike her even more.
Just a day and a half later, Sig intercepted the Great Whirlpool Spider Pirates, who were about to leave, in the waters near the Kingdom of Prodence...
Dongdong: It's 9:27 PM Beijing time... As we all know, PM means afternoon.
