"Elephant! Big brother, sister-in-law... it's an elephant!" The Whitey Bay jumped around on the small boat like a child.
In the direction he was pointing, a huge "mountain" could be seen moving on the sea.
Because it was still quite far away, and the surroundings were shrouded in mist, making it look like a "fairyland overseas," Sig had no doubt that if any unlucky Sea King were to pass by, they would likely be trampled to death by Zunesha wouldn't even know what it had stepped on...
Of course, Sea King wouldn't usually stay that far, and it's not even a matter of luck—where Zunesha passed by, it was as if four "Pillars of Heaven" were stirring up the water, and the surrounding waves were turbulent. Sea King that wasn't incredibly stupid would have already run far away.
"What sister-in-law!" Violet glared at the Whitey Bay with the Glint-Glint Fruit.
This guy is such an idiot! I've told him so many times, but he always forgets it as soon as he wakes up in the morning!
"Big brother, little girl, it's an elephant..." the Whitey Bay corrected himself.
Violet:...
Well, the Whitey Bay, who hadn't really been taught "politeness" by Miss Buckingham, generally only had three ways of addressing women—little brat, little girl, old thing... The first and third were unisex.
"Whitey Bay." Sig glared at him.
The Whitey Bay looked thoughtful for a moment, then said after a long pause, "Big Sister?"
Violet was already speechless; this big guy didn't seem to know any polite language at all...
In three days and three nights, Sig's small sailboat traveled more than 7,000 kilometers—twice the speed of a racing sailboat, and keep in mind, this is the "New World"!
The reason it wasn't 4,000 kilometers was not only because the giant elephant had gone a bit further, but mainly because Sig had to avoid storms or other inexplicable Catastrophe zones, which the New World was never short of.
Although we can see Zou now, it is still quite a distance away. If we could see it directly, given that Zunesha at an altitude of over 20,000 meters, it would be hundreds of miles away!
Of course, it's not actually that far, because Zunesha is always surrounded by thick fog, and the refraction effect of this fog is quite peculiar. Before entering the fog, you can't see its extent; you only see a vast, open sea.
Only by entering the dense fog can one gradually see the fog and, at the center of the fog, Zunesha!
Whether in the "New World" or the first half of "Paradise," all Navigator on the Grand Line follow one of the most basic principles: never sail into dense fog!
Because it often means not an adventure, but various Catastrophe or permanent loss; the Mist of the Zunesha is just one of countless foggy areas.
Even the Mink Tribe, if they want to return to Zou, will inevitably follow the Vivre Card, rather than recklessly venturing into the fog...
Fortunately, the ability of the Glint-Glint Fruit is purely visual, so within the field of vision, after being placed in the mist, the figure of Zunesha could actually be seen.
As we sailed closer to Zunesha, the 20,000-meter-high "giant mountain" was not only incredibly imposing, but the surrounding seawater was also rhythmically churning, no less intense than a storm in the New World...
These tiny feet falling into the sea stirred up huge waves even though there was no wind.
"Wow, it's huge... Big brother, who's stronger, it or me?" Whitey Bay asked innocently.
Sig:...
Sig thought Whitey Bay was no worse Jack... How come all his Little Brother are this type?
If we're talking about strength, even if you tied Four Emperors together, they still couldn't possibly be bigger than Zunesha, right?
The sheer force of their movement alone is enough to overwhelm Four Emperors). The mere fraction of their resilience that keeps their bodies from collapsing is enough to defend against an attack of Four Emperors level!
Of course, due to its size, its actual combat power cannot be compared in this way. Firstly, it is easy to be attacked but inconvenient to attack "small" enemies. Secondly, most of its strength and physical toughness are used to control its own body and prevent itself from being crushed by itself.
If Zunesha maintained its strength and defense, and remained only the size of a human, it would be absolutely invincible...
"When you can throw Dressrosa Island, you can compete with Zunesha," Sig reminded the Whitey Bay guy, and to prevent him from making a rash decision, he gave him a challenge target first.
Violet, standing nearby, angrily asked, "Why Dressrosa?"
Sig thought her question made sense, so he changed his answer and said, "When you can throw Marineford, you can compete with Zunesha."
Then Sig sped up to face Zunesha. Seeing the giant elephant's face intensified the sense of oppression—of course, from Zunesha, you couldn't actually see its face...
"Weren't we going up? Why did you come to face us specifically?" Violet, who didn't usually have megalophobia, now didn't want to look up either.
"I'll try to communicate first..." Sig said calmly.
However, Violet looked at him with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding what Sig meant.
"Zunesha! Hello!"
"I am Sea King..."
"You know about Sea King, right? He's Ancient Weapon, just like Uranus!"
Do you still remember the alliance made eight hundred years ago?
"According to the sacred covenant, I, representing the Fish-Man Race, have come to meet our Mink Tribe allies!"
"The heir of the Kozuki Family is my good friend!"
Watching Sig yell at the giant elephant, Violet worried that the elephant would be annoyed by his noise, but she also suddenly realized that Sig... actually had quite a few dreams!
Are you expecting this giant elephant to answer you? Or are you hoping it can understand you?
Of course, in Sig's view, he had already used his mental contact ability, so the giant elephant must have heard and understood him. His "Listener" ability was also always ready. Since there was no response, it must be that the giant elephant did not want to say anything to him.
However, this is also a good thing for Sig!
This giant elephant has lived for at least a thousand years. After all, the Mink Tribe has lived in Zou for a thousand years. The giant elephant was a witness to what happened eight hundred years ago.
If the giant elephant actually pays attention to him and wants to discuss the alliance, Sig will be dumbfounded.
It seems the giant elephant doesn't want to bother with me...
It was punished to walk here endlessly because of something. In the original work, Roger, Luffy, and Momonosuke could hear its voice, but only Momonosuke could command Zunesha. In the original work, Zunesha would not even fight back when it was hit, and would only start to fight back when Momonosuke it a command.
Sig highly suspected that Momonosuke was the so-called "Uranus," and that the giant elephant in front of him was equivalent to the Seven Emperors of the Sea King in relation to the Sea King.
As a "relative" of the Uranus, Sig tried using the identity of the Sea King, but the giant elephant ignored him...
Sig wasn't discouraged at all. Instead, he thought it would be better to ignore me, as long as they didn't oppose me or expose me!
Then Sig, along with Violet and Whitey Bay, flew onto the elephant's back.
Since it was already evening and the surrounding area was shrouded in thick fog with virtually no sunlight, it was the perfect time for the Vampire Fruit to take effect.
Sig rose into the air, and also controlled a swarm of Shadow Bat, lifting the small boat up as well...
