"Brother! We still have five hundred comrades as strong as them! We've just temporarily lent them to the Sea King Army..."
Hody was enthusiastically showing Sig his work.
In the Fish-Man District Square, thousands of Fish-Man Warrior practiced Fish-Man Karate in unison, their shouts rising and falling.
"Hmm, not bad..." Sig nodded reservedly.
Indeed, these are all important vital forces.
Even if Sig were to one day advance to Sequence 3, it would only be a safety lock for the "New Order".
Those who can truly establish a new order are the vast number of "ordinary people".
Sig is able to become a god, so we can expect a "deus ex machina," but... if "ordinary people" also only expect gods, then even if a "god" appears, it will be useless.
Those who lack the resolve to save themselves cannot be saved.
"Big brother..." Jack ran back at that moment.
When Hody saw Jack, he gave a slight smirk—in his opinion, he was still more important to "Big Brother," as for Jack... so what if he could fight?
Even in terms of fighting ability, Jack has been surpassed by a mere human.
Compared to Jack, Hody disliked Weevil even more.
Even though Hody's attitude towards humans wasn't as extreme under Sig's tutelage, Hody still felt a little jealous when he saw that Sig's top henchman was actually a human.
Especially since that guy doesn't look very smart...
However, it must be said that, let alone Hody, even Jack is now clearly inferior to Weevil in terms of strength.
This made Hody resentful of Jack— "You think you're so tough? How come you can't even beat a human?"
Unaware of Hody's resentment, Jack ran over and said, "Big brother, there's a Navy Sea King- class warship docked at the port, it looks... it looks like Momousagi's warship!"
"I already reported this to my brother. What do you think this place is? The Navy is docked here, do you think I wouldn't know? And there's no need to say 'seems,' it really is that woman Momousagi... But so what?"
Hody wanted to say, "It's just a mere Momousagi. With Big Brother here, what's there to care about?"
Upon hearing this, Jack thought to himself: You're not even by Big Brother's side, what do you know? I'm worried about whether 'Vice Admiral Momousagi' is easy to deal with.
"You know that? Do you know that Big Brother and Momousagi are having an affair... Ouch!" Jack had barely finished speaking when he got a whack on the head.
Hody was taken aback by what he heard, then looked enlightened. When he saw Sig glancing over, he quickly composed himself.
"Brother, it's true that Vice Admiral Momousagi arrived in the Ryugu Kingdom three days ago and has been docked at the port ever since. She hasn't gone to see Neptune, as if she's waiting for someone," Hody cautiously reminded him.
Sig nodded without saying much, but he could roughly guess why Momousagi had come to the Ryugu Kingdom!
Siegfried, the Sea King, cut off one of Red-Hair's arms and then left the Red-Hair Pirates...
Although his whereabouts are unknown, a little thought reveals that there is a very high probability that "Sea King" will return to Fish-Man Island!
The news that "Sea King has defected from the Red-Hair Pirates" is undoubtedly good news for the Navy, and even information that can be used.
Although the Navy was generally dissatisfied with the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, Sengoku would be happy to see Shichibukai of Siegfried's caliber recruited—the system could be abolished once the Navy's strength was sufficient!
As for why it was Momousagi who invited him...
Sig estimated that his long-standing impersonation of "Shiryu" had likely been exposed... or at least there was already some speculation within the Navy.
After all, the Navy has been keeping an eye on whether the abilities of those who "mysteriously died" in Level 6 of Impel Down will reappear.
Sig has used the "Shepherd" ability more than once since his battle with Kaido in Hakunnos two years ago.
Logically, the reappearance of their Devil Fruit ability should have been solid proof that these people were truly dead, but...
If all these abilities appear in someone who "seems to possess multiple Devil Fruit ability," then the meaning is completely different!
Considering the previously Record special abilities of Sig in terms of mental consciousness, Sengoku had reason to suspect that Shiryu was either controlled by Sig or impersonating him. Sengoku had also confirmed with the people in Impel Down that the time when "Shiryu" showed some changes was indeed very close to the time when Vegapunk "completely subdued Sig."
Therefore, although the underlying principle is unclear, the Sengoku had already tacitly accepted that the "Shiryu" of that time was Siegfried.
This is why they asked Momousagi, their "old partner," to invite Sig.
This further convinced Sig that communication between the Navy and the World Government, or rather, between the World Government and the core of the Celestial Dragons, was not entirely smooth.
Otherwise, if Sengoku knew that Sig turned against Shanks because of Shanks's background and the fact that Shanks still had connections with Mary Geoise, then... no matter how wild Sengoku's imagination ran, he wouldn't believe that Sig would accept the invitation to become a "Shichibukai".
Momousagi didn't directly display a "missing person" sign; she simply docked at Fish-Man Island. If Siegfried really was "Shiryu," he would understand what that meant.
And...
Even if Sig doesn't accept the invitation, the Navy won't lose face!
Momousagi was quietly reading in the Captain. After experiencing a series of changes, Momousagi had become more able to calm down and could concentrate on reading a book called "Miscellaneous Records of the North Sea" for several days.
Suddenly...
Momousagi turned to the next page and found a summary of a naval patrol from years ago, specifically noting which island and Marine Base were involved. Momousagi, for the sake of the bigger picture, had covered up some "unimportant" crimes, and the summary even described Momousagi's state of mind at the time...
Momousagi slammed the book on the table in anger, then yelled, "You come out here!"
Just then, the Captain's cabin door was opened by turning the handle as usual...
Even though they were on a warship, and the sounds of naval soldiers drilling could be faintly heard from the deck, no one noticed that someone had entered the Captain.
Momousagi is always very conscious of her image and usually tries to maintain a dignified demeanor, but looking at Sig's face now, she couldn't help but grind her teeth...
Neither Siegfried nor Shiryu were unfamiliar to Momousagi, but... now that she was completely certain that they were the same person, Momousagi still felt a surge of embarrassment and annoyance.
Especially...
If you think about it that way, Shiryu's arrest at the time should have been part of his plan, especially since he was crying and sniffling at the time...
"Pfft..." Sig turned his head and burst out laughing, it was unclear what he had thought of.
Momousagi:!!!
