The Marten Self-Esteem Emperor!
Thunder Bagua!
Although I don't know the name or meaning of Jhin's move, it really looks quite "humiliating"...
However, its power made Sig not dare to be careless.
Logically speaking, Jhin and Katakuri are about the same age, but it seems that Jhin's strength is now a notch above Katakuri's!
Yes, this is in line with Sig's expectations. He fought Katakuri more than half a year ago and came out on top, while Shanks fought King a year ago and both were injured.
Sig's advantage over Katakuri was due to his "Rose Bishop" ability, and Sig also understood that Shanks had always been stronger than him and was improving at a similarly rapid pace—if it were Shanks from two years ago, Sig was confident he could have won!
Seeing the fierce attack from Jhin, Sig didn't hesitate and used one of his trump cards...
This was a trump card I had just prepared not long ago!
Suddenly, a shadow giant appeared around Sig. Judging from its figure and outline, it was still Demon Oz of the Country-Carrier the Rising Sun, but the "details of the paint job" showed traces of Kaido...
That's right, Vegapunk's Artificial Devil Fruit has already been Sig by Sieg on Oz.
At this moment, Oz the Dragonman wielded his massive Shadow Hammer and unleashed a "Thunder Bagua" attack to meet Jhin's "Marten Self-Esteem Emperor".
The two collided, and instantly, the power of shadow, the power of fire, the Armament Haki... all kinds of power dissipated, as if tearing the air apart and emitting a piercing sound!
The "Shadow Hammer" was still just a shadow, and its strength was clearly inferior. Sig didn't have a weapon that Oz could use, and it was instantly vaporized and torn apart. Jhin was also involuntarily thrown backward by the impact of the recoil.
Oz's body has now fully absorbed the "Artificial Pink Dragon Fruit," or more accurately, the "Artificial Kaido Fruit."
To be honest, Oz and Kaido's horns are quite similar, and Oz also grew an extra pair of dragon horns at this time, just like Kaido in his dragon-man form.
In terms of physique, Oz' legs are too short and slender. Kaido... although his upper and lower body are not very balanced, it is not as exaggerated as this. Taking it all together, Oz's figure appears more normal and taller!
Moreover, pink Dragon Scales appeared on his body, and his originally simple and fierce face also showed signs of Dragon Transformation.
The reason things went so smoothly, Sig even had a feeling, was because Kaido's Lineage Factor was inherently very compatible with Oz '!
Although Vegapunk's Artificial Devil Fruit have the drawback of being mixed with Devil Lineage Factor, Oz's corpse itself is extremely strong, especially the version repaired by Sig, whose physical strength has been almost completely preserved, and the strength of the Artificial Kaido Fruit is also there.
With this, Sig has already completed the Promotion Ceremony to "Rose Bishop," so the strength of this "body" is unimaginable!
In terms of pure physical strength, Sig even felt that he was comparable to Kaido, but he was definitely inferior in terms of Haki.
After all, it was Sig's consciousness inside that was incompatible with the body, and... Sig's Armament Haki was definitely no match for Kaido's, not to mention that Kaido also knew how to use Conqueror's Haki coating.
However, against Jhin, a 50/50 fight is entirely possible!
Sig then retreated...
Sig had originally planned to try using the Great Kingdom and the Ancient Alliance to see if he could get closer to the King, but who knew... it seems he'd made things worse?
The Lunarian are definitely from the moon, so why does Jhin's reaction make him seem like he has a grudge against the Great Kingdom?
Sig was also puzzled by this, but since things had already come to this point, there was no point in relying on any clues from Jhin.
Given Jin's strength, it would be difficult for Sig to enter his Dream Infiltration without being detected, so he retreated.
After regaining his footing, Jhin continued the chase for a while, but he didn't pursue relentlessly...
At this moment, Jin was also quite surprised—this Thunder Bagua... so authentic!
Apart from King, no one else from the Beasts Pirates chased after them. After leaving Onigashima, Sig fled directly towards the Wano Country Waterfall.
Both the Devil Fruit ability and the Lunarian's innate abilities clearly disadvantaged him from going into the water. King merely circled the surface a few times. Meanwhile... one wonders why Vampire Fruit user could so decisively dive into the water?
"Could it be because of Mr. Kaido's...?" King's thoughts were completely misled by the Oz's Shadow.
He knew that Kaido a decade ago... to be precise, he had collaborated with the Navy on an experiment.
At that time, the Navy obtained Kaido's Lineage Factor, and Kaido exchanged it for Oz's corpse.
Although the corpse was stolen by Moria a couple of years ago, Queen used it to achieve Kaido's goal.
It seems the navy has achieved its objective?
How could Artificial Devil Fruit created using Kaido's Lineage Factor end up in the hands of "Vladimir"?
The Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Fruit, is the only known Devil Fruit ability of King that is not afraid of seawater... or at least not extremely afraid of seawater, allowing him to briefly dive.
Seeing Oz's corpse, which Vladimir had turned into a shadow of, and which had been combined with Artificial Devil Fruit modeled after Kaido, King naturally assumed that this was why Oars was not afraid of seawater!
Sig then left Wano Country, having already bid farewell to Yamato beforehand...
Finally, coming to find Jhin, although it revealed a trump card, wasn't entirely fruitless!
Sieg failed to "sit down and have a proper talk" with Jhin as he had hoped, and even made things worse from the start. However, this also made Sig realize something - the "gods" who once lived on the Red Line Continent, the Lunarians, and the Great Kingdom may not have been allies eight hundred years ago, or they may have had great disagreements.
This was completely different from what Sig had previously known, and he even began to doubt whether Joy Boy was actually in league with the Great Kingdom...
After all, Jhin is clearly also pursuing Joy Boy, believing that Joy Boy can change the world.
If Sig hadn't witnessed what appeared to be Great Kingdom being sunk by a massive airship on Jaya Island and Dawn Island, he might have even suspected that the Lunarian be the "Great Kingdom." However, it now seems that not only is it not the case, but the two might even be enemies.
At that moment, Jhin's emotions were clearly overflowing; he was not angry at Sig "impersonating the Great Kingdom," but rather angry at the "Great Kingdom" itself.
Filled with both doubt and newfound knowledge, Sig left Wano Country...
