Sig took the initiative to arrange for Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Wanda to leave, and also sent Jack and Whitey Bay to join Red-Hair.
Shanks and Sig had naturally already agreed on the meeting place and time.
Furthermore, given that Sig often gets separated from Shanks for various reasons, Vivre Card was specifically reserved for Sig this time.
Sig also wrote a letter to Shanks, saying that he might go back to the first half of the Grand Line to look for the weather island "Visalia".
Furthermore, Sig also told Shanks about the deciphering methods for the four coordinates that might be related to "the Sun's Harmony"—after all, Shanks had worked with Roger before, and might be able to come up with more and simpler deciphering clues.
If Sig hasn't arrived at the rendezvous island by October, then go back to the first half of the Paradise to look for clues; there's no need to wait for him any longer.
After everyone else left, Sig felt a little more at ease.
After all, Sig is planning to go "wandering" later—King, as a Lunarian, might have clues about "Sun's Harmony," but at the same time, King is a staunch supporter of Kaido.
It wasn't just because Kaido had saved King, but also because King believed Kaido was a "Joy Boy" capable of changing the world...
Therefore, even if Sig raises the banner of an alliance or Great Kingdom, King of the Lunarian will likely still stand firmly on Kaido's side.
If it were just Sig, or rather "Vladimir," being discovered by Kaido wouldn't be a big deal.
After all, from the very beginning, Kaido knew about Yamato's sudden enlightenment, albeit from a rather peculiar angle, and this guy was inextricably linked to it...
Seeing him return Yamato now is not entirely unexpected.
But if he sees that his "son" is even more capable than he imagined, and that he has already gathered the old Kozuki forces and brought them overseas, and even the Mink Tribe has gotten involved, this old guy will definitely raise the threat level of Yamato in his mind!
He tolerates Yamato now because he feels the risks are manageable. This is not only due to his confidence in his own abilities, but also because he believes he can control Yamato. He didn't hand over the truly difficult Prisoner at Udon Prison to Yamato, and Yamato is still wearing a bomb bracelet.
Secondly, making Yamato the shogun was originally part of Kaido's plan, only this plan came ten years earlier than Kaido originally expected, and... Kaido originally wanted Yamato to fully understand how to treat Wano Country and humanity before becoming the shogun of Wano Country;
The most important reason why Kaido still approves of Yamato Kaido the changed circumstances is that... regardless of Yamato's true thoughts, it has indeed made Kaido's exploitation of Wano Country more efficient!
Previously, Kaido dared not release or feed those samurai, even those who weren't considered top-tier combatants, let alone deal with the samurai who huddled in the mountains and waged guerrilla warfare...
Yamato has now mobilized the initiative of these people, which is why he has met Kaido's 150% requirement.
Although it may sound a bit arrogant, considering that Kaido didn't give up on wanting to subdue even Gecko Moria, who challenged him, or Yasu of Wano Country, he naturally has even higher expectations for his "son".
More importantly, Kaido has a real advantage – he believes that Yamato and the samurai of Wano Country will eventually have a "disagreement" and that the samurai of Wano Country will never truly trust Yamato. At that time, Yamato will also understand how she should act as the shogun of Wano Country!
Even now, there are indeed quite a few samurai handed over by Kaido who do not recognize Yamato at all.
However, it was only a small part, Yamato didn't mention it to Sig. Although Sig noticed it, he didn't bring it up in a way that was considered inappropriate...
As long as Sig doesn't make Kaido think that Yamato is about to get out of control, it would implicate Yamato.
Sig rejected Yamato's advice, telling her to do what she needed to do and pretend she had never seen him. He then turned into a shadow and made his way to "Onigashima".
The pirates who remained on Onigashima, surrounded by beasts, were still recklessly squandering the wine Wano Country —this was an atmosphere that Kaido had deliberately created.
The Beasts Pirates, Wano Country who have joined Kaido, Wano Country who have followed the new Shogun, and the die-hards of Udon...
Although they are all in Wano Country, their lifestyles are completely different.
Even the ordinary pirates of the Beasts Pirates feast on meat and fish, wasting food recklessly every day, while the Wano Country... even with the new shogun mediating, they barely manage to avoid starvation, and are all emaciated and pale.
Kaido understood that only by creating a strong "contrast" could he attract the people of Wano Country to join him!
Kaido may seem like he's all muscle and prone to drunken antics, sometimes even attempting suicide Outer Deity, but... he's actually the most intelligent of all the pirate lords.
Bold and meticulous, he possesses both a broad mind and a superficial romanticism, as well as caution, ruthlessness, and an underlying warlord mentality that is entirely pragmatic.
Kaido was not present at the time, and Onigashima was entrusted to King for guarding.
Unlike Queen and Pizarro, Jhin is the type who rarely hangs out with his subordinates.
Queen is ruthless and terrifying; he might use his men as expendable tools at any time. However, he also enjoys drinking and having fun with his men in his spare time.
The King of Tyranny Pizarro had some ulterior motives, and he usually tried to win people over...
King is fiercely loyal to Kaido, but he is indifferent to everyone else. In fact, apart from Kaido and Queen, no one has ever seen his true face, as he is always covered in a black suit.
Unfortunately, as a Lunarian, my physical characteristics are quite distinctive...
His black wings alone wouldn't easily lead to any particular associations, since he is an Ancient Zoan pterosaur user. At most, people would wonder why a pterosaur would have "wings."
However, if you look at his brown skin and white hair, then everyone will know that he is the legendary Lunarian that is said to be extinct but is still relentlessly hunted by the World Government!
Although King, as the highest-ranking officer of the Beasts and essentially the vice -Captain, was already wanted with a bounty of over a billion, the nature of the Lunarian is different. They directly issue bounties for the entire race based on racial characteristics, and even... just providing a clue can earn a bounty of one hundred million.
Even Kaido didn't want to invite trouble, after all, the "Lunarian" was even more taboo to the World Government than Nico Robin, who understood Ancient Script; they were arguably one of the World Government's Nightmare for the past seven hundred years...
At this time, Onigashima was bustling with the Beasts Pirates, drinking and eating meat. Although there were no banquets, their daily life was still very lively.
Perhaps to get closer to Joy Boy, the Beasts Pirates also have a strong banquet culture, but it's one that exploits others to satisfy themselves, without ever considering that their own pleasure is above the blood and tears of others.
Meanwhile, Jhin remained alone on the top floor of the giant skull castle, enjoying the quiet and solitude...
Suddenly, Jin seemed to sense something, looked at the shadow of the pillar beside him, and coldly shouted, "Who?"
