Katrin Demi is a notorious Great Pirate in the New World —after all, she is so vicious, leading a group of ugly women, using "more beautiful than me" as the dividing line, slaughtering civilians and attacking the Navy... yet she is still active, which is a symbol of strength in itself.
Katrin Demi's Devil Fruit ability played a crucial role, enabling the Nine-Tails Fox Pirates and herself to escape the Navy's pursuit and attacks from other pirates countless times.
However, this time, she had clearly come to the wrong place!
Even in a one-on-one fight, she would be no match for Shanks, Beckman, or Sig. Against Lucky Roo and Nekomamushi under a non-full moon, she could only manage a stalemate...
Even more deadly is that Sig can see through her illusions—although he can't see through her disguise, Sig can see through the phantoms she sets up when she tries to escape... because the phantoms have no "emotions"!
After that, with just a little attention, one can identify her by following her emotions and see through her invisibility or transformation.
Sig barely lifted a finger, as did Beckman and Lucky Roo.
After all, this is the Mink Principality, so it's best to leave it to Nekomamushi to handle. Besides, Shanks doesn't consider himself an outsider...
Démi transformed into her Human-Beast Form and exchanged a few blows with Nekomamushi before Shanks unleashed a devastating slash that severely injured her.
All Sig did was kick the cat back into the Nekomamushi as the cat used its Stand illusion to escape, and the Nekomamushi pierced her heart with its claw!
"Hmm? Something's not right..." Sig noticed immediately that Die Mei had instantly lost her "emotions".
It's true that the dead have no "emotions," but given the intensity of their bodies, even if a sharp claw pierces their heart, they shouldn't die instantly; there should at least be a rapid process of weakening.
However, aside from his emotional inferences, Sig didn't notice any flaws in Katrin Deme's body, nor did he detect any hidden traces in the surrounding area.
Shanks frowned upon seeing this, and simultaneously used Conqueror's Haki again, continuously agitating the surrounding space, but still found nothing...
"That Katrin Demi must have some kind of survival trick up her sleeve, so it's not surprising that this is fake... Judging from her Record of making a name for herself at sea, she has experienced more than a dozen major defeats, six of which resulted in almost no other crew members surviving except for her." Beckman lit a cigarette for himself.
Seeing Sig looking over, Big Fool added, "But she's never dared to launch a surprise attack... It must be the Nine-Tails Fruit, and some kind of life-saving ability, but it's only for survival. After all, it's Mythical Zoan, so it's normal for it to have some strange abilities."
"It's a pity we still don't know why she came," Sig with a hint of regret.
The Nekomamushi looked at the corpse still hanging on its wrist, somewhat puzzled—what makes you so sure this is fake?
Until the Nekomamushi shook it off, and after a while, the "corpse" silently evaporated before their eyes...
However, her crew members were not so lucky. After the first Captain was shaken by the Whitey Bay and vomited blood and fainted, the chicken-headed man was also quickly grabbed by the neck by Jack and crushed unconscious with the powerful grip of "Fish-Man Karate - Rough Shark"!
Because Katrin Demi had wiped out several times, she had no other skilled fighters besides the two of them. The grunts were quickly wiped out with a "crackling" sound. Among the Mink Tribe, even those who were not Warrior could control the power of electricity. Although they had not trained, the herbivorous Mink Tribe had combat power on land comparable to that of trained shark-like Fish-Man.
Of course, in the sea, it's the opposite.
The Mink Tribe is kind and won't kill them outright. If they don't die on the spot, they'll usually wait until the next time the Zou elephant spouts water, then throw them down with the flowing water...
If they survived a fall of over 20,000 meters, then it's fate. If they died... well, it was gravity that killed them. What does that have to do with my Mink Tribe?
Sig worried that the Mink Tribe wouldn't leave any survivors—he still had questions for them, after all, Demi was impersonating him; what if she was after him?
However, when they arrived at the battlefield, they were shocked.
The battle was over, and there were still quite a few survivors, but what caught the eye was Jack lying sprawled on the ground, with Whitey Bay straddling him, punching him in the face, left and right, left and right... There were small pools of blood on both sides of Jack's head.
"Whitey Bay, stop!" Sig shouted immediately.
Whitey Bay immediately stopped and stood up awkwardly.
"What are you doing?" Sig asked, somewhat angrily.
Whitey Bay looked aggrieved and said, "Ah? Brother Sig, he's the one who told me to hit him."
Sig:???
"It's true! He said he's Little Brother Sig's number one underling, and he even said he'd teach me a lesson..."
"So that's it?" Sig felt that Whitey Bay's retaliation was a bit excessive.
"No, no, I did tell him that I hit really hard, and he said, 'Who do you think I am? You're far from being able to hurt me. If you want to tickle me, I'll use your beard as a brush.'" Whitey Bay continued to explain.
Sig:...
Long time no see, Jack's still as reckless as ever.
Whitey Bay was still quite sensible; at least the later punches only "vibrated" his teeth and didn't damage his brain. Sig first handed Jack over to the Mink Tribe doctor, and then went to interrogate the Nine-Tails Fox's first Captain.
Although she hasn't woken up yet, it's even better that she hasn't woken up, as it saves the trouble of hypnosis; Sig can directly Dream Infiltration.
Later, it was discovered that she didn't know who had instructed Katrin Demi, but there were some clues—a "very handsome man" told Demi about the Mink Principality "something that even the pirate overlords covet," and gave her a Vivre Card of unknown origin that pointed to Zou.
However, the first Captain had never seen this man before, only his back. He was dressed in flashy, colorful clothes and exuded an aura of "handsome man".
As for Katrin Demi impersonating Sig, it has nothing to do with him. After arriving in the Mink Principality, she discovered the Red-Hair Gang and wanted to instigate a war between the Mink Tribe and the Red-Hair Gang. So she transformed into Sig, who seemed to be absent. She could transform or use illusions based on the wanted poster, which was entirely fabricated by herself and did not require her to have actually met Sig.
In other words, the person behind this is probably not targeting Sig, but is suspected of targeting the Red-Hair Pirates...
Sig later mentioned to Shanks whether he knew this person, because of his inherent tendency to cause trouble, coupled with Roger's influence, he would have no shortage of enemies in the New World.
However, Shanks tilted his head in confusion, looking adorably cute, which made Sig roll his eyes...
