"What a rare guest... But I'm not feeling well right now. Could we postpone our duel until next time?" Shanks, reeking of a hangover, looked at Hawk Eyes as he approached.
Hawk Eyes glanced at Shanks' left arm, his eye twitching slightly. "It's actually true... Are you kidding me?! What are you doing? How could that guy possibly be your match?"
"Don't say that... Sig is very powerful. If you have that kind of mentality, you'll suffer when you meet him!" Shanks retorted matter-of-factly.
"Do you know what you're doing? The New World... no, the sea is about to boil again! As one of the Four Emperors, you've had your arm cut off by a traitor?" Hawk Eyes questioned.
"No, it wasn't that someone cut it off, but... I bet my arm on the future!" Shanks' face, still reeking of alcohol, showed a hint of seriousness.
However, Shanks' expression immediately darkened again. "But Sig actually cut me... My heart aches so much, quick... let's have a good drink first!"
"It's only noon," Hawk Eyes quietly reminded him.
"I just broke my arm, I can't have a hangover," Shanks said, explaining that it was necessary due to his "medical condition."
But despite the noise, Shanks' former executives became noticeably quieter at this point.
When no outsiders were present, Lucky Roo and the others had already volunteered to go and capture Sig.
However, Shanks has not responded or told anyone what exactly happened between him and Sig.
Therefore, the cadres of the Red-Hair gang are all feeling frustrated and annoyed!
A key comrade "betrayed" them, even cutting off their leader's arm, and they didn't even know why.
Although rumors circulated that the Red-Hair Pirates had found a great treasure, which led to a falling out among their own crew, no one in the Red-Hair Pirates believed it.
The real reason, however, was neither Sig nor Shanks themselves revealed, and they had no way of knowing it.
Of course, if they don't know the reason, then... emotionally speaking, they would definitely blame Sig more—after all, Shanks' arm was broken!
Only Weevil and Jack, without distinguishing right from wrong, said things like, "Big Brother's face has been pale since this morning, it must be Red Hair's fault," and "You only lost an arm, but Big Brother lost his good mood," and left with Sig.
However, contrary to what outsiders might imagine, the atmosphere within the Whitebeard Pirates is now far more somber.
After all, they really did have brothers who died...
From the outside perspective, however, the Red-Hair Pirates undoubtedly suffered a greater loss.
Of the three royal crews that suffered this misfortune, none is more heartbroken than Kaido, who now spends his days in tears—crying uncontrollably every time he finishes drinking!
Currently, of the three "traitors" who have accomplished astonishing feats, Yamato is the most pleased, celebrating in Wano Country that she has driven away the Demon King Kaido. Her position as Shogun is becoming increasingly secure, and even if Kozuki Sukiyaki to be resurrected, it would be difficult for her to take it away.
Yamato himself didn't care about these things. Instead, amidst the celebrations, he prepared for the opening of Wano Country —this was recorded in Oden's diary, Oden's long-cherished wish, and also Wano Country's mission.
The most down-on-his-luck one is undoubtedly Blackbeard. He's currently on the run, recruiting his own loyal crew, and... familiarizing himself with the abilities of the Darkness Fruit!
The Darkness Fruit, the most unique Logia Devil Fruit, is what led Teach to resolutely kill Thatch and betray the Whitebeard Pirates.
However, he had only recently eaten the fruit and was no match for Ace. The two chased and fled, and both had already left the New World and returned to "Paradise".
As for the one who was the most "indifferent," that would be Sig...
"Tch!" Sig clicked his tongue for the eighth time today without any reason, as if he was looking down on something.
Weevil and Jack didn't know either, and Weevil didn't Jack to ask any more questions.
Sig's disdain was naturally directed at Shanks —although he had already left, Sig was like someone who had just "broken up" but was still unhappy, as if the reasons for the breakup hadn't been clearly explained, and he wished he could go back and start over.
"Brother, we can almost see the Red Line Continent... Should we just bring the ship over there?" After seeing the "bloodstained serpent" on the horizon, Jack thought he should change the subject and cheer up his brother.
Sig:...
Yes, this is still the New World.
On the side of the New World closest to the Red Line Continent, and specifically where Fish-Man Island is located... we're already close to Mary Geoise!
However, for Jack, there was no need for a reason to dock at the ship.
If his brother agrees, Jack will go and get Mary Geoise right now to cheer him on.
"No need...we'll go straight to Fish-Man Island." Sig had no intention of causing a ruckus in Mary Geoise right now.
As he spoke, Sig clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and the surrounding air pressure suddenly increased, gradually forming a sphere that clearly showed signs of air Distortion, enveloping Sig and the other two...
An ordinary person would have died from the excessive air pressure by now, but Weevil and Jack naturally showed no reaction.
Then, under Sig's control, the "compressed air" began to sink into the water, or rather, it propelled away the surrounding seawater...
It was from Sig, the Devil Fruit ability, that Kuma learned the "bouncing" ability—although Sig cannot bounce away things on a conceptual level, he can still bounce away or compress tangible objects.
Sig himself didn't need it, but his two Little Brothers were both Devil Fruit ability and couldn't swim down directly.
Weevil and Jack, along with Sig in the "Air Cannon," traveled through underwater caves and other places until they arrived at Fish-Man Island.
Although they encountered some sea beasts and even Sea King along the way, none of them dared to approach them— Sig hadn't asked them to escort him, so they were lucky... Sig didn't want to be too conspicuous lately.
The Air Cannon blasted an entrance directly into the membrane of Fish-Man Island, easily passing through two layers of membrane and entering Fish-Man Island directly without going through the port entrance.
"I'm going to Fish-Man District to take a look. You guys... ask around for information, then come find me in Fish-Man District," Sig said to Weevil and Jack.
The recent "upheaval" in the New World has elicited varying reactions from all sides. However, as expected, the thugs of Fish-Man District ... no, the Fish-Man Warrior, have long been itching for a fight!
Everyone was overjoyed to hear that "Brother Sig" had finally left the Red-Hair Pirates.
In their view, this was a sign that Sig wanted to revive the "Sun Pirates".
If Sig hadn't yet raised his flag, they would have even wanted to burn the Whitebeard Pirates' flag on Fish-Man Island immediately and replace it with Sig's.
As for Jinbe...
What Jinbe? Who is that? What does Shichibukai have to do with the Sun Pirates?
