Sig suddenly realized with embarrassment that he seemed to have made a mistake...
Joy Boy and the Great Kingdom are not entirely in cahoots, nor can Joy Boy be considered a representative of the Great Kingdom.
That makes sense when you think about it. After all, if the Great Kingdom were inhabited by Moon person, then their legal system would be directly descended from that of the Sky Island. And in Bilca, the source of Sky Island civilization, Sig didn't smell much of freedom and equality.
Instead, the aristocracy prevailed.
Previously, the "noble" aspect of the Great Kingdom was imagined to be the will of Joy Boy!
It was Joy Boy who wanted to "hold a grand feast for the whole world," not the Kingdom of God or any of the Great Kingdom.
It was only because the Great Kingdom was relatively weak at the beginning of the war that... it was easy for them to accept Joy Boy's ideas, while Lunaria, who had the advantage, was not so easily swayed.
It's no wonder that when Jhin mentioned the name of the Great Kingdom to Sig, he not only showed no intention of ending the war, but instead became even more agitated.
As for the Celestial Dragons, they are mostly traitors who were once under the command of the Lunarian Race, so the World Government has always had a policy of exterminating the Lunarian.
On the contrary, they were hostile to other Moon person, who are now the Sky Island person...
Because the degradation was so severe that even the basic technology of civilization had not been passed down, they didn't care much about it.
Another group they were wary of was the "D" clan, from which "Joy Boy" originated...
According to the prophecy, during the next Nine Shadows Shine Together, the D. Clan will give birth to Joy Boy again and fulfill the wish that was left unfulfilled eight hundred years ago!
Furthermore, until four hundred years ago, there were still remnants of both sides rebelling against the World Government, with the Demon Oz being a prime example.
Oz is a descendant of the Ancient Giant Tribe by blood, but he is much smarter than the Ancient Giant Tribe. Even compared to ordinary people, he is just a simpleton, not an idiot!
Coupled with the remnants of the Great Kingdom that hadn't yet been completely eradicated, the two sides cooperated, even utilizing Oz's Devil Fruit ability, to unite the islands and rebel against the World Government...
However, they ultimately failed. Their short-lived resistance was stigmatized by the World Government as a nation of villains.
As for the Mink Tribe, they were not originally on Zunesha's back, but rather, like Wano Country and Ryugu Kingdom, they were among the first to accept Joy Boy's ideas.
However, at the beginning of the Twenty Nations Rebellion, the Mink Tribe suffered the first wave of attacks because they lacked the "geographical advantage" of the Fish-Man Race Wano Country.
At this time, Wano Country, which originally belonged to Lunaria's camp, accepted Joy Boy's persuasion and put aside its previous conflicts after being betrayed by both sides. It originally wanted to support the Mink Tribe, but Zunesha went astray, resulting in the Mink Tribe being destroyed and less than one-tenth of its population remaining when Zunisha arrived.
Joy Boy the war, Joy Boy used lunar technology to build a filtration system and relocated the Mink Tribe to the back of Zunesha —thus giving the Mink Tribe the same geographical advantage as the Fish-Man Race, allowing them to recuperate and thrive.
Meanwhile, the surviving Mink Tribe were grateful for the rescue from Wano Country, which had previously been their enemy. The two sides made their Oldest One contact, and after the war, the Mink Tribe was temporarily under the command of Wano Country.
However, as Wano Country also closed itself off from the world, this connection was severed.
"I see... That's why we need to open Wano Country before this happens!" Yamato's fighting spirit soared, and he completely believed in this so-called prophecy.
Of course, there's no problem with the part about celestial phenomena, but the "opening of Wano Country" in Oden's diary is more to set up for the next "Joy Boy".
Sig remained unmoved, saying, "No, no, no, if we look at it another way, maybe you didn't start the country to wait for Joy Boy, but rather you *are Joy Boy?"
"Huh? Isn't Joy Boy D. Clan?"
"Actually... my full name is Sig D. Fried..."
"No, no, no, you're Sea King... wait! Shouldn't Sea King be the Mermaid Princess?"
"This is actually a grammatical issue; it actually means that Sea King is 'the Mermaid Princess's man'..."
"But it says on the label that Sea King fell in love with Joy Boy 800 years ago!"
"You dare to assume Joy Boy's gender? Can't Sea King have a harem?"
Yamato:...
Yamato eventually ran out of words.
Then Sig mentioned the purpose of their trip to Yamato.
"September... Is it really that important? I'm very busy." Yamato some interest.
Well, although it sounds like he's not very keen on going, Yamato is actually quite eager to go!
Because she has almost never left Wano Country since she can remember.
Combined with Kaido's previous restrictions on her and the allure of Oden's diary, Yamato was extremely eager to set sail!
Yamato suppressed her true feelings simply because opening Wano Country to the world was her responsibility as shogun.
Now that Sig has given her an excuse to "slack off," she's quite excited, but her sense of responsibility is holding her back...
"What we're about to do is also for the ultimate goal of Wano Country after it opens its borders, so... I think that's more important." Sig followed Yamato's Yamato and offered some words of advice.
As expected Yamato immediately agreed...
Sig did not linger in Wano Country. After experiencing the Underworld Town and waiting for Yamato translating the entire Poneglyph, Sig continued on to Dressrosa.
Meanwhile, Sig also secretly went to Daughter Country —why "secretly"? Of course, it's because Amazon Daughter Country needs to maintain normal relations with the World Government and can't openly contact Siegfried!
On July 18, 1519, on Reverse Mountain, the Merry swooped down, seemingly about to crash into the sea-mountain-like Laboon...
After a fierce battle, the entire Straw Hat Pirates ended up inside Laboon's belly, where they encountered Croccus and heard Laboon's story.
Upon learning that its companion had not returned for fifty years, Luffy forward to desperately stop Laboon from crashing into the mountain and made a promise with it that he would definitely circle the world and return from the other side of the Red Line Continent!
And to stop Laboon, Luffy drew a pirate flag on its head, and Laboon looked at Luffy with tears in its eyes...
But just then...
A shout rang out, and then... a nimble figure came rushing across the sea.
"Laboon... Laboon!"
"Skull, skeleton!"
"Laboon! You... can you still recognize me? It's me! Even though I'm in this body now, you still remember our promise... Wait! What happened to your head? You bastards! Did you guys hurt Laboon?"
"You... you wouldn't be...?"
"Help! The Grand Line... is it really this terrifying?!"
"Let's go back then!"
