Enies Lobby
"What is this...?" Hancock saw Sig's third eye.
Just then Sig said, "Found it! We should... have enough time, right?"
As he spoke, the blood vessels around his eyes returned to normal.
As long as he could see the Sea Train, Sig immediately cut off his "gaze," since there should at least be CP9 members on board, and his gaze would be easily noticed.
Moreover, the speed and route of the Sea Train are fixed, so you only need to see its location and there is no need to keep an eye on it all the time.
Judging from his position, Sig felt that if he gave it his all, it was "possible" he could arrive on time.
It mainly depends on how many storms and thunderstorms are blocking the way... Even Sig couldn't avoid storms on the Grand Line; he just managed to avoid them in advance.
Now that the location of the Sea Train has been discovered, Sig doesn't intend to delay any longer...
"I'm setting off now. I trust Her Hancock can handle things properly," Sig said directly.
The so-called "ending" means leaving no room for doubt about the relationship between the scholar Seven and Siegfried, who was about to "rescue" him.
Hancock tried to act nonchalant, but ultimately reminded him, "If... you get caught, make sure you insist you're Sea King."
Sig understood her meaning and didn't need her to explain further.
Those who can confirm that Sig is not Sea King are at least the Five Elders, or perhaps only Imu himself, and they would certainly be curious as to why he has Sea King -like abilities when he is not Sea King.
In that case, he might not be executed immediately, but instead imprisoned in the Impel Down...
Sig left Amazon Lily directly, first swimming out of the Serpent's range on his own, then summoning Sea King —since Sig, there was no need for a towboat; he simply had the Sea King hold him in its mouth, and then swam out of the Calm Belt at full speed.
Upon encountering larger and faster Sea King along the way, they would immediately switch places, making the tugboats much faster than usual...
Within a few hours, they left the Calm Belt.
"Thanks," Sig said to the mindless Sea King, then took out a glider from the shadows and performed a spiral as it took off.
With the help of the wind, Sig soared towards Enies Lobby.
Sig doesn't have a pointer for Enies Lobby; he relies entirely on visual location— Sig had already memorized its visual position back in Amazon Lily.
"The city that never sleeps...?" Sig muttered.
At this moment, it was already getting dark where Sig was, but after glancing at Enies Lobby, which was more than 300 miles away, Sig noticed that... it seemed that it was not getting dark at all.
Even though everyone's longitude is about the same, for some reason, Enies Lobby is still brightly lit, even though the Sun has already set in the west, it is still illuminated by "skylight".
Indeed, Enies Lobby is also known as the "City Without Nights." It is said that it has never fallen in eight hundred years, that there are eerie vortexes around the island, and that... it never gets dark, and not even dark clouds can obscure its sky.
However, this was the first time Sig had seen Sig with his own eyes, and he had his own doubts. As he flew through the air, he calculated the atmospheric anomalies there...
Hmm, I'll study meteorology as a form of "leisure" before the big battle.
According to Sig's previous assessment, whether he could stop the Sea Train midway was uncertain.
As Sig had anticipated, he encountered two more major storms along the way, forcing him to take detours, so... he was ultimately a step behind.
The Sea Train is only a few dozen miles away from Enies Lobby, and no matter how fast Sig flies, he can't catch up.
Fortunately, Sig didn't rush any further, but instead slowed down a bit and adjusted his condition.
CP5 commander Spandam, along with his men, was escorting Tom and they were almost at Enies Lobby.
"Old man, do you see that? The Gate of Justice is just ahead. Once you get past here, it'll be too late for regrets! Hand over the blueprints for Pluton now, and I might take pity on you and kick you into the sea! You're Fish-Man anyway..." Spandam grabbed Tom and demanded.
Tom was strong enough, but he was tied up tightly at this point.
Spandam's previous "framing" of Tom and invalidating his deal with the World Government was indeed a merit, but compared to obtaining the Pluton Blueprints, this merit is nothing.
Whether the Pluton Blueprints were actually usable was not a question Spandam needed to consider.
Like his father Spandine, Spandam was very adept at the ways of officialdom and knew what situations would be most advantageous to him.
But Tom remained silent at this point...
"Tch, you stubborn old codger, you'll regret this later!" Spandam punched and kicked Tom for a while, as a final act of venting his frustration.
Once people are inside Enies Lobby, even he has no authority to release them.
Afterwards Spandam ordered someone to keep an eye on Tom while he tidied his appearance.
"Looks like you've all come for nothing. There aren't any remnants of Roger's gang here to rob us," Spandam said to the men in black suits.
The other party exchanged a few polite words with Spandam, his face cold.
The people in black are CP9 combatants...
Nominally, CP5 was in charge of this matter, and indeed, only Spandam, the commander of CP5, came. However, CP9 provided combat support.
Spandam didn't show much courtesy to these CP9 combatants, after all, he was the "commander" of CP5, while the CP9 personnel were just ordinary combatants.
Besides, his Old Man was these people's boss!
Soon after, the Gate of Justice, having received the signal, opened, and the Sea Train entered...
"Heh, old man, how does it feel to have your own masterpiece sent to the Gate of Justice?" Spandam sneered.
However, Tom's reaction greatly displeased him...
Tom actually smiled with satisfaction, seemingly pleased with the success of the Sea Train.
He seemed completely oblivious to Spandam's sarcasm!
Just as Spandam was about to give the old man one last beating, the sight of the people in front of him made him involuntarily stop his depraved behavior.
Three men in white suits and wearing masks were waiting at the Sea Train station...
Spandam may not have thought much of the CP0 combatants, but he was surprised by the scale of the operation. In his mind, Tom, that stubborn old man, was not worthy of such a presence.
Could the Pluton Blueprints be more important than we thought?
But his Old Man had clearly told him that the blueprints were impossible to replicate, and that he should just use this opportunity to show off...
Otherwise, CP5 wouldn't be in charge of this matter!
The CP0 agents ignored him and simply took Tom away.
Spandam was somewhat displeased by this; after all, his Old Man was a leader of CP0, and these combatants didn't know any manners?
However, the CP0 spies ignored him, and even his Old Man's presence was of no use...
Meanwhile, inside the Justice Tower, a flamboyant man who wore a white suit in a way that made it look "colorful" was stirring his coffee while gazing out the window...
"An interesting person is coming; at least the bait wasn't thrown in for nothing."
Next to the coffee cup was today's newspaper.
