Hope's Spark

A few days ago, when Momousagi confirmed the appearance of Golden Lion, she contacted Vice Admiral Tsuru —the Navy has a significant advantage in Den Den Mushi).

Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was originally the last person to be pulled out of the New World Organization, also immediately crossed the Calm Belt and rushed towards the North Sea.

During Sig's battle with Golden Lion, Vice Admiral Tsuru also learned about Trafalgar Law's past through Den Den Mushi...

Now she finally understood why Rosinante had disobeyed Sengoku's orders and secretly helped a third party obtain Devil Fruit!

Even though she understood that the current user of the Op-Op Fruit would never willingly cooperate with the World Government, and that with Siegfried here, she might not be able to stop him from leaving, she still... at least she had to stop the boy Rosinante saved from getting involved with Great Pirate like Siegfried.

Upon hearing Sig, Sieg understood her meaning, but instead of arguing, he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I didn't expect the Navy's strategist to be so old that his brain has rusted? My information is late? I was a pirate to begin with. If I hadn't been caught by this woman back then, why would I have given any information to you dog Navy dogs!"

Momousagi glared at Sig's address—it's normal for pirates to use crude language, but... at this level, can't you be a little more dignified?

Vice Admiral Tsuru had not expected that Sig would make no attempt to conceal anything.

Didn't he know about the relationship between Rosinante and Trafalgar Law?

Impossible! The intelligence from back then was given to the Navy by Sig!

Even now, Vice Admiral Tsuru doesn't understand why Sig possessed such intelligence back then— the Sun Pirates couldn't possibly have had such an intelligence network.

Vice Admiral Tsuru even suspected that Siegfried was also an inside agent for the Donquixote Family.

Upon hearing this, Luo hesitated for a moment and even turned his head to look.

Yes, Law understands. Sig makes a lot of sense. What obligation does a pirate like him have to save a Marine spy?

The reason he leaked this information to the navy was because he himself was captured...

However, since it concerns Corazon, Law inevitably cannot fully understand others rationally. If Sig asks him to treat someone else later, Law is still willing to help because Zieg just saved him, but there is still a barrier in his heart, and he will want to stay away as much as possible in the future.

Of course, if Sig, like Golden Lion, chooses to force the issue, then Luo can only take it one step at a time and will never compromise in his heart!

Vice Admiral Tsuru Sig didn't understand why Sieg said that, but seized the opportunity to say, "No! Pirates naturally have no obligation to report to the Navy, but... Rosinante is different. If it were him, he wouldn't..."

Refuting Sig is secondary; Vice Admiral Tsuru's main purpose is to remind Law of the care Rosinante took for him back then, and incidentally, to hint at the relationship between Rosinante and the Navy, leaving Law with the possibility of reconciliation with the Navy and the World Government!

Sig had by then realized that this old man was also a master of rhetoric...

However, Sig interrupted him directly, saying, "Oh? Rosinante is different? Yes, he is. Back then, before I hypnotized Doflamingo's crew and was killed by Kaido, I did know... That guy Doflamingo is Celestial Dragons, right? Rosinante is Doflamingo's younger brother, which means he's also Celestial Dragons, right?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru had not expected that Sig would directly expose the matter.

Not only Law, but even Momousagi didn't know about this before...

Within the Navy, only Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and the new Three Admirals know this!

At the same time, Law, through Sig's hints, realized that Doflamingo's death was related to Sig, and was shocked to learn about Doflamingo and Corazon's past.

Vice Admiral Tsuru's face darkened. He hadn't expected Sig to expose this in public and retort, "No! Siegfried... I know you were the slave Fisher Tiger rescued from Mary Geoise, so I have a grudge against the Celestial Dragons..."

However, Rosinante and his father, Homingo, are different! If the Homingo family had voluntarily withdrawn from the Celestial Dragons back then and hadn't faced resistance from the rioters, things might be very different now!

Momousagi looked anxiously at Vice Admiral Tsuru. Would revealing Sig's background now anger him?

Back then, I only hinted that I knew, and Sig looked like he was about to devour me!

However, Momousagi clearly underestimated Sig. Back then was back then, and now is now.

Sig showed no change in expression and replied, "Another situation? Perhaps it will be a good start for the transformation of the Celestial Dragons? Pfft, pfft, pfft..." His sneer was already evident.

"Isn't that so?" Vice Admiral Tsuru's face turned grim.

Vice Admiral Tsuru discovered that he was completely outmaneuvered in terms of rhetoric. No matter how hard he tried to gain the upper hand, Siegfried's mindset remained unaffected, and his arrogance only grew stronger!

Judging from Luo's expression, he was completely following Sig's train of thought.

"Donquixote Homingo... Back then, he took his wife and children, gave up his Celestial Dragons status, and left Mary Geoise. As a result, he was resisted and abused by the long-resentful people, and he couldn't live at all... Well, I think there was the CP Organization protecting him in secret back then, right? Otherwise, there's no reason why he couldn't just live, he should have been unable to survive." Sig said sarcastically.

"Not only the CP Organization, but back then... we also hoped this would be a good start. Unfortunately, those rioters were already filled with hatred..." A genuine regret appeared in Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes.

Although very few Celestial Dragons thought this way back then, a faint trend did emerge, but it was quickly extinguished after Huo Minggu set an example.

"What a pity? No, not entirely without pity! These rioters... As expected of the Navy, seven hundred years of blood and tears for Mary Geoise and all the enslaved people around the world didn't shake you, but two Celestial Dragons died and you start yelling 'rioters'?"

The fact that the Homingo family, having lost their Celestial Dragons status, were mistreated by the public is not a pity, but rather something to be thankful for!

This proves that people's fear of the Celestial Dragons was merely due to their military might...

Fortunately, even with the shadow of the World Government looming over the sky for seven hundred years, the people have never lost their last thought of resistance!

After that, none of the Celestial Dragons dared to think about returning to the common people, right? Perhaps you regret that the 'rioters' scared them away?

Hahaha, go back and tell the Celestial Dragons, let the panic continue! I will forever remember everything about the Homingo family twenty years ago, forever remember everything about me, Siegfried, being a slave ten years ago, forever remember... eight hundred years ago, the Great Kingdom, Lunaria, everything!

Rioters? They're the sparks of hope!

Remember this well: on the vast ocean shrouded in the shadow of the World Government, there still remains a spark of hope, waiting for the opportune moment when someone raises the banner of freedom and light, and people will flock to it!

Whether you are afraid or angry, whether you hide in Mary Geoise or struggle in your death throes, the real fire will sooner or later burn again in Mary Geoise!

Sig unleashed his full power of Conqueror's Haki to create momentum, and...

They have made their own statements public!

Previously on Enies Lobby, the other side's heavyweight was killed by Sig, and then Sig himself dared not stay long due to his injuries.

Now that Vice Admiral Tsuru wants to ramble on here, it's just the right time...

Just in Sig to complete the formal declaration of war against the World Government —a crucial element of the ceremony.

And...

Sig also said that "someone" raised the flag.

Who is it? It's definitely not Sig, it must be a member of the Revolutionary Army...

The World Government was going to target the Revolutionary Army anyway, so it had nothing to do with me, a pirate!

Dongdong: Wishing everyone a prosperous and lucky Year of the Tiger!
