Half a month has passed since Sig brought Whitey Bay back.
There's still no news from the Red-Hair Pirates, Sig starts preparing to build a cenotaph for them...
Tesoro didn't mind having another person living in the Golden Mansion, but his repeated failures to win over the seemingly foolish Weevil were subtly displeasing him.
What's even more frustrating is that Sig has been getting very close to Violet lately!
It wasn't that Tesoro had any feelings for Violet; it's just that Sig knew perfectly well that he wanted to control Dressrosa, and while he outwardly appeared to support him, he turned around and got involved with the heir to the Riku Royal Family...
You still say you don't have other ideas?
That day, Violet rushed over to find Sig. When Sig Door Opening, he saw her face flushed with excitement. Sig asked curiously, "What did you find?" From her emotions, Sig could tell that she had seen something, but to know exactly what she had seen, he would need hypnosis.
"Elephant! I see an elephant!" Violet exclaimed excitedly.
Tesoro, who came looking for Sig, saw Violet exclaim in surprise and then pushed Sig into the house. His face hardened, and he left with a cold snort.
However, upon hearing Violet's exclamation, Sig was also very excited. "The kind that's over 20,000 meters tall?"
Zunesha's height is probably around 30,000 meters, but it usually spends several thousand meters in the sea, with the surface no higher than its knees...
"That's right! Although we can't estimate its height, it looks taller than the Sky Island from the back!" Violet said excitedly.
She initially thought that this was something Sig had made up to fool children, but she never expected it to actually exist.
Then Sig asked Violet to point him in the right direction, but unfortunately... Sig couldn't see it at all. His white eye only had a visual range of 3,000 kilometers, which was 1,000 kilometers shorter Violet's.
Sig estimated that Violet must have discovered the Zunesha shortly after it entered the 4,000-kilometer radius.
Violet hadn't been "looking around" much before, after all, she knew that her gaze was very noticeable to people with Observation Haki, and if she saw something she shouldn't, she would needlessly cause trouble for herself and Dressrosa.
However, after hearing many legends from Sig, Violet began to regularly "look around" every day.
Fortunately, Dressrosa is just over 4,000 kilometers away from Mary Geoise; otherwise, Violet might have had a hard time maintaining her mental health, and the people of Mary Geoise wouldn't tolerate having their "eyes" constantly on her side!
It was precisely because Violet was constantly looking around, and because Zunesha was always moving within a certain range, that although it was not within the 4,000-kilometer radius of Dressrosa before, it was discovered by Violet shortly after it entered the area.
The probability is actually quite small. Don't be fooled by Violet's line of sight, which spans almost 8,000 kilometers. Even the part of Zunesha that's above the sea is over 20,000 meters high. You wouldn't need to look very closely; a quick scan would be enough to spot it...
It seems that, theoretically, as long as there is a path within the range of the Zunesha's walking that is close to the New World and adjacent to Mary Geoise, there is a high chance that Violet, who is "looking out" every day, would see it?
In reality, however, the visible range is indeed 8,000 kilometers, but Violet simply doesn't have the ability to cram such a vast area into her mind.
The range one can see simultaneously depends on the brain's processing power, which is to say, on Observation Haki. However, when looking into the distance, moving the field of view requires physical strength and willpower...
Violet's strength in both areas is not particularly high. She looks around every day, but the actual area she sees in a day is at most one hundredth of the theoretically visible area, and that's only in many separate sessions!
It takes a certain probability for Zunesha to see Violet just as it enters the field of vision!
"How much longer until it gets within 30,000 meters?" Sig asked.
Violet didn't answer; instead, she stared straight at him.
Sig noticed that Violet was in a bad mood, turned to look at her, and sure enough, she had an angry face.
"It didn't get close. It just seemed to brush against the edge of my field of vision and then left immediately, humph!" Violet said indignantly.
Violet now knows that Sig can mimic her abilities, only with a one-third shorter visual range...
Sig's question just now clearly indicated that he didn't intend to take her along!
You big jerk! When you were "blind" to everything, you kept nagging me about elephants, just to get my attention. Now that you have eyes, you don't want to include me?
Sig, however, believed he could find it, after all...
The Grand Line is only so wide; as long as Sig along the New World route, how could he possibly not find Zunesha?
However, in practice, it is still very time-consuming and energy-intensive, because using the limit of visual range is also very physically demanding for Sig. Sig cannot keep the entire 6,000-kilometer radius within his field of vision at all times, and the range of vision he can handle is only about ten times larger Violet's...
Although Sig's physical strength and willpower were far superior to Violet's, he could only patrol about 30-40% of the visible area each day at most, not to mention the possibility that "just as Sig was looking at this area, Zunesha happened to be walking in the same spot Sig had just been looking at"...
Having a precise location is helpful, but if it's a aimless search, Sig will have to rely on luck.
Furthermore, Sig didn't believe that taking Violet to Zou was so dangerous that her safety couldn't be guaranteed, so he changed his mind and said, "Then please, Princess Violet, accompany me to find the giant elephant..."
"Heh, why would I go looking for some giant elephant?" Violet retorted dismissively, seemingly uninterested in giant elephants.
"Hmm... I've heard that not only are there giant elephants, but the Zou Kingdom also has Mink Tribe... Hmm, all furry!" Sig said enticingly.
However, Violet was clearly not a Fury fanatic, continuing to stare at Sig with a blank expression, the gesture for activating her ability still on her face, indicating that she was also keeping an eye on the giant elephant at the same time.
Sig could tell that Violet was still interested, but she had seen through his betrayal, so he needed to coax her a little.
"Princess Violet naturally doesn't need to go looking for any giant elephants, but I really want to go. I wonder if I would have the honor of inviting Princess Highness to accompany me?" Sig finished speaking and noticed that Violet tensed up slightly.
Well, it's not because of anything else, it's because the giant elephant is about to disappear from her sight!
So Violet went along with it and said, "Alright! Since you like the Mink Tribe so much, then this Princess will mercifully accompany you to see them..."
"Actually, I'm not a Fu Rui fanatic... cough cough, I mean, shouldn't Your Princess Majesty the King about this?"
"It's alright! I've already left a note!" Violet said matter-of-factly.
After all, if she told King Riku, he would definitely stop her, and she would have to sneak away. What if she angered her father? Violet is a very filial daughter...
Sig wisely refrained from asking questions like, "Didn't you say you weren't planning to go? Why did you leave a letter beforehand?" Instead, he directly pulled Whitey Bay, who was cultivating "Life Return," along with them, and they set off together.
The reason I brought Whitey Bay along wasn't because I was worried about dangers on the road or needed his combat strength, but because I didn't want him to be left alone in Dressrosa, lest he be sold out by Tesoro without even knowing it...
