Sig traveled to the Demon's Triangle to visit his old friend Moria, and also... to see if Moria had "rusted" after nine years.
So he used the power of the "Bake- ...
In other words, it brought to life the "information" that Sig possessed.
By combining his abilities with those of the White Tower, Sig was able to unleash the power of the "Raccoon Dog Fruit" to a level beyond his own capabilities!
Although after advancing to Sequence 4, due to the many restrictions, Sig would not directly unleash his extraordinary power to the strength of Sequence 4 unless absolutely necessary, simply absorbing the power of the "Raccoon Dog Fruit" was already a significant enhancement for Sig.
When Moria saw Sig come out and praise him in a serious manner, he became even angrier.
"Siegfried! What do you want to do?" Moria demanded, then paused before adding, "Don't forget... you still owe me 'Demon Oz'!"
"Alright, alright, do we need to say all this? Look... I just came over and helped you test the Zombie Army, and even helped you break the limits of Shadow Fusion," Sig said in a very friendly manner.
Moria opened his mouth, wanting to utter a whole lot of complaints, but instead choked back his words.
Breaking the limits?
Indeed, Moria had performed exceptionally well just now because he saw his old Kaido. He not only perfectly controlled the shadows of a thousand people, but also forcibly fused two thousand people in his berserk state, smashing Kaido's... tanuki leaf.
Not only because Moria broke through his limits in his anger, but also... Moria is indeed much stronger now than in the original work!
In the original work, it should have been within a year when Moria was defeated by Luffy. In the original story, Moria's limit was 500 shadows; he lost control when he reached 1000...
And now the number has doubled!
But...
Sig looked at Moria's figure, and his expression became somewhat strange.
When Moria challenged Kaido, he was still of normal build, even somewhat slender. In the original work, he completely degenerated into a large, muscular figure. When Sig saw Moria nine years ago, he already showed signs of "gaining weight".
And now... not only have I not lost weight, but I've grown into an uncontrollable onion!
"By the way, have you gained weight?" Sig asked, his tone sounding like a New Year's greeting.
"Shut up! I've gotten fatter, but I'm also stronger!" Moria immediately snapped.
"Yes, I can see that, I can see that," Sig greeted her sincerely.
Moria seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly changed his expression, putting his arm around Moria's shoulder and leaning closer, saying, "I heard you fell out with that Red-Hair brat? What do you think of this Thriller Bark?"
Moria was nearly seven meters tall, twice as tall as Sig, and resembled a mountain of flesh...
But just then, two enormous figures, equally formidable, approached from behind.
"Hey, Onion Head, don't think you're the boss's Little Brother just because you gave him a boat!"
"Even if you're going to be Little Brother, you'll still have to be behind us... no, behind Hody."
Weevil and Jack spoke in unison.
Hody should be ashamed that Jack is still thinking of him at a time like this.
Moria:!!!
Which ear of yours heard me say that I was offering to send a ship to be my Little Brother?
"Don't you know any manners? I'm talking to your Captain!" Moria snapped arrogantly.
Tsk tsk, he really is an old man.
However, Weevil and Jack clearly didn't know the meaning of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and the three "Big Fool" kids immediately started arguing.
Moreover, even if we only fight and don't argue, a fully healthy Moria could only barely defeat Jack, and was not as good as Weevil —which is a significant improvement for Moria, at least he is no longer a disgrace to the Shichibukai.
Sig could also see through Moria's intentions.
To say he wanted to recruit Sig as his subordinate... well, that's not entirely without reason.
The main reason was that he noticed Sig didn't have many men and wanted to invite Sig to join the ship. Nominally, they would both be Captain, but in reality... with such a large ship and Zombie Army under their control, wouldn't Sig just be a free henchman?
You could say they've got a very clever plan...
However, Sig clearly had no interest; he had only come to inform Moria that he would see him in Alabasta in six months!
"Alabasta? What's your relationship with Crocodile?" Moria naturally knew whose territory Alabasta was now.
"Just like you and me... a genuine partnership." Sig shrugged, then added, "Don't sail this ship then. Keep a low profile. There will be others involved."
"Others? What are you planning? Speaking of which... Oz's corpse..."
"They're all potential partners! As for what we're really after... well, it's all for the future, for the new order!" Sig interrupted Moria.
"Tch, all mysterious, so what about this contract...?"
"Oh, we have a new alliance contract now, you can upgrade it." Sig started to say, but seeing that Moria was about to interrupt him again, he cut him off beforehand, saying, "By the way, this Devil Triangle Sea Area ... there's something very unusual about it. You've been here for so long, you should know that, right?"
"Hehehe, don't be surprised when I tell you, do you know the legendary Kingdom of Zou?" Moria said in a mysterious tone.
"I know, I was the one who officially ascended the throne to Zou." Sig nodded matter-of-factly.
Moria:...
Because the cats and dogs became retainers of Kozuki Yamato, Zou has a new king. A year ago, they chose Pedro, who had returned to Zou and knew about the outside world. Sig even went to have the abdication ceremony notarized.
"What's wrong?" Sig asked in return.
"Ahem, it's nothing... I was just saying, you should also know about Zunesha, right?" Moria reorganized his words.
"Hmm, a guy who doesn't like to talk to people." Sig nodded.
Moria was taken aback. "Reasonable? Of course not. Those creatures... probably don't even have self-awareness, right?"
This is indeed the opinion of most people who know of Zunesha's existence. Even the Mink Tribe considers Zunesha a "Natural Phenomenon" rather than a living being.
In the original work, when Zunesha changed its direction of travel and crossed the sea to Wano Country during Luffy's battle with Kaido, the Five Elders were also very shocked—this thing actually has consciousness?
Sig did not refute Moria, but waited for him to continue.
"Here... there are three more creatures that big, and they're the ones who created the fog. I've also discovered a way to indirectly guide them. With them and the Thriller Bark, those 'newcomers' have no chance of escaping my grasp! In the past five years, my Zombie Army has expanded considerably... Hehehe..."
Moria was laughing heartily when Sig praised him, saying, "That's right, as expected, pirates want to get what they want... Trying to take back the shadow without the strength is truly overestimating yourself."
Moria's smile suddenly vanished—So... you don't want to return my Oz either, is that it?
Dongdong: I recommend a One Piece fanfiction.
