In the end, Sig set off together with the Spade Pirates...
In addition, at Weevil and Jack's insistence, they were also brought along— the Red-Hair Pirates only sent three people to meet Whitebeard.
Meanwhile, Beckman will also take a few people into Wano Country to deliver a letter to Kaido, while Shanks will personally deliver Big Mom's letter.
Sig could understand why Beckman made that arrangement.
Since it involves sending supplies to three companies, it will definitely be Shanks, Beckman, and Sig who will step forward. As for Sig, although Whitebeard Pirates has some grudges with Whitebeard Pirates, Sig is the safest option for him.
As for Kaido of Wano Country...
Because of the grudge against Kozuki Oden, and Shanks was once a member of Roger's crew, if Shanks enters Wano Country, the conflict could easily escalate.
In contrast, Shanks and Big Mom had dealt with each other before...
So Beckman ultimately made this arrangement!
Since that person was just too much of a troublemaker, Whitebeard was the only relatively less bad option.
Ace did not refuse Sig and his companions' invitation to join him—although he was annoyed by Red-Hair crew and acknowledged that he was no match for Whitebeard, it only fueled Ace's desire to show Red-Hair and his crew "how powerful I am."
Sig even thought that Beckman decided to start "sending messages" immediately after Ace's visit because he valued Ace's recklessness...
After all, Sig is definitely a prime example of someone who's disliked in the Whitebeard Pirates, at least... most of the captains don't like him!
If Sig had met Whitebeard, there might have been a minor conflict. However, with Ace there, a goofy guy like him, saying "I'm here to take Whitebeard's head," would definitely have absorbed a lot of Whitebeard Pirates's hostility.
When Sig reappeared later, the atmosphere eased considerably...
Beckman was clearly using Ace as a tool in this play!
"Captain! There are members of a pirate crew affiliated with Whitebeard at the port ahead!"
That day, a commotion arose from the deck, apparently because the Whitebeard Grand Fleet on the island they were about to land on.
Sig was in the cabin when Jack heard the commotion and immediately asked, "Brother, should I go check it out?"
"The Spade Pirates were already planning to challenge Whitebeard anyway. If they don't say anything, we don't need to interfere." Sig was just hitchhiking and wouldn't get involved in the Spade Pirates' battle.
At that moment, Wallace ran down. "Brother Sig, the Captain said there might be some rocking in a bit, but don't worry!"
Wallace is a combatant in the Spade Pirates, and... he's a scorpionfish Fish-Man. As Siegfried member of Ace's crew, and as a Fish-Man Race, he naturally idolizes Wallace.
"Okay... Did you see who we encountered?" Sig asked after replying.
"It's the Great Whirlpool Spider Pirates, Brother Sig. I'm going up first too." Wallace didn't hide anything, and after saying that, he rushed out again, seemingly to engage in battle.
"The Great Vortex Spider... Scoyard? What a coincidence," Sig muttered.
Miss Buckingham was handed over to Sig Scoyard. And judging from Marineford's conflicted feelings at Scoyard in the original work, he and Ace should have had a good relationship before he learned about Ace's past?
However, the two are definitely "enemies" now, since Ace is going to challenge Whitebeard!
Furthermore, Ace didn't seem to mind others knowing his purpose...
Scoyard initially saw a "newcomer" approaching Whitebeard's Grand Fleet territory and planned to first give them a hard time, then decide whether to wipe them out or try to recruit them.
Who knew that Ace's first words were. "You're from Whitebeard's Grand Fleet? Go tell Whitebeard I, Fire Fist Ace, am coming to take his head!"
Scoyard:!!!
"You dare! You want to see your Old Man? You're probably not getting a chance!" Scoyard was furious and started fighting the Spade Pirates.
"Really... I just wanted you to pass on a message."
On November 19, 1516, the Spade Pirates and the Great Whirlpool Spider Pirates fought a major battle on Komaru Island...
The fearless Spade Pirates unafraid of tigers, won a great victory and declared... that they would challenge Whitebeard, and that Whitebeard should wash his neck clean and wait!
Scoyard is no match for Ace now, but Ace didn't finish him off.
Sieg was now Sig relieved—he no longer needed to worry about not running into Whitebeard; the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely be waiting for him!
Even the Whitebeard Pirates didn't specifically "besiege" him; otherwise, people who didn't know better would have thought that Whitebeard was afraid and could only send his sons to fight...
It wasn't until December 3rd that the Spade Pirates encountered their next opponent, and one that Ace hadn't anticipated!
When Wallace ran down to inform Sig this time, he was clearly a little nervous... and excited.
"Brother Sig! We've encountered the Sun Pirates ahead!" Wallace's emotions were complicated.
The Sun Pirates undoubtedly hold special significance for the Fish-Man Race.
For Wallace, encountering the Sun Pirates and Jinbe was like seeing Siegfried – a "dream come true."
However, unlike Sig, the Sun Pirates are clearly now intentionally trying to intercept the Spade Pirates!
Moreover, everyone knows that although the Sun Pirates are nominally a "Shichibukai" pirate crew, they are actually very close to Whitebeard. And unlike Tesoro's private dealings with Kaido, the Sun Pirates' close relationship with Whitebeard is out in the open.
Of course, what is contradictory for Wallace is that on the one hand, he is nervous about "performing" in front of Jinbe, and on the other hand, he is excited that he is now Fish-Man that Jinbe can "see".
To be honest, the dilemma is that I don't want to fight the Sun Pirates...
This emotion is the least important!
After all, Wallace is a pirate, so that option doesn't exist for him. Even when facing the seniors of the Sun Pirates, if he were to fight, as a member of the Spade Pirates, the only way he would express his respect would be with his fists.
"The Sun Pirates?" Sig asked, a look of reminiscence crossing his face.
This time, Sig didn't wait in the cabin; instead, he stood up immediately. "Since it's Jinbe, I have to go out and say hello!"
It's clear that the Sun Pirates, or rather Jinbe, weren't intercepting the Spade Pirates with the intention of annihilating them—putting aside their stance, the Sun Pirates ' "no-kill" principle wasn't just a joke.
Even when they intercepted the Spade Pirates, they deliberately chose a small island with a place to stay, much like when the Whitebeard Pirates stopped the Red-Hair Pirates.
Back then, the Whitebeard Pirates had enough numbers that Shanks and Beckman realized they were surrounded and couldn't escape. But now... Ace is wary of the Sun Pirates, so he's decided not to run.
After all, their entire ship is full of Fish-Man; are they really going to head out to sea? Wouldn't fighting at sea be even more disadvantageous?
Besides, Ace had no intention of running away!
When Sig went up onto the deck, Ace and Jinbe were already engaged in sexual activity...
