Momousagi's Konpira clashed with Golden Lion's Cherry Ten and Withered Tree, unleashing a powerful gust of sword wind that sent those around them staggering!

In particular, when Golden Lion unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, a move that could be described as a "powerful appraisal technique," the passersby fainted one after another, including a certain CP0 officer.

Sig's act of throwing the Op-Op Fruit sparked another round of chaotic fighting, and Sig himself took advantage of this moment to jump into the sea...

Golden Lion, Germa Kingdom, the Navy, and CP0 clashed fiercely. Ironically, Fisher Tiger and his companions, who didn't care about the Op-Op Fruit, called on their friends to go into the sea and prepare to evacuate!

At that moment, several CP0 combatants quickly caught up. Sig initially thought they were coming for him, and his heart sank. He was not in a good position right now.

But the next moment, Sig saw them all pass by him, stepping on the seawater, and chasing after the direction where he had thrown the fruit.

These professional CP0 agents are not swayed by "anger"; they are more concerned with completing their missions.

Whether it's due to distrust of the Navy or a desire to claim credit, CP0 prioritized recovering the Devil Fruits... Anyway, as long as they didn't intend to attack Sig, that's fine!

In this way, the only forces that wanted to besiege Sig were the two naval warships in the sea and a number of naval personnel, who immediately jumped into the water as well.

Even though Sig wasn't in good condition, he still had no problem dealing with ordinary soldiers, especially at sea.

On the other hand, Golden Lion clearly underestimated this "little girl." In terms of pure Swordsmanship, Momousagi was already no less skilled than Golden Lion.

Of course, after Golden Lion used a technique combining Devil Fruit ability, Momousagi could only barely defend herself...

However, at that moment, the shadow of a warship suddenly appeared in the distance—its size was similar to that of the fleet led by Momousagi, and it was very likely another vice Vice Admiral!

Moreover, after Momousagi blocked his way, the Op-Op Fruit Mi (Operation Fruit) had already fallen into the sea, making it clear that Golden Lion would be unable to retrieve it.

"Hmph!" The Golden Lion snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

Before Sig could even dive down, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine— Golden Lion was enveloping him in Conqueror's Haki!

Without a second thought, Sig activated his Armament Haki, preventing Golden Lion's Haki from marking him or even his clothes.

At the same time, a huge black shadow suddenly rose from the sea.

Sig initially thought it was the Sea Bass, but before he could even feel happy, a huge submarine marked "66" surfaced and pushed him out of the water!

Gage, dressed in his Battle Suit, landed smoothly on the deck and extended his hand to Sig, saying, "Looks like you're in a bit of trouble. How about coming to visit the Germa Kingdom?"

It appeared to be an invitation, but Gage's eyes betrayed an undisguised threat...

With Gage on one side and Golden Lion on the other, Sig felt that the blond guy on this side was easier to deal with!

"It's an honor." Sig grasped Gage's hand, and Judge pulled him up, and together they walked into the submarine's cabin entrance.

At the same time, the Golden Lion angrily swung its sword from the air at Germa's submarine...

"Iron Wall Defense!" Gage his hand, and rows of clone soldiers jumped up simultaneously, forming a human wall without fear of death.

The submarine then sank back to the surface.

The interior of Germa's submarine was filled with a futuristic feel, with screens displaying images from outside. In the control room, besides researchers in white coats, there were many clone soldiers wearing short capes and motorcycle-like helmets. Looking at the scale of the clone soldiers, Sig that he had previously underestimated the progress of the Vinsmoke's restoration!

"How about that? This is Germa 1. I have dozens more ships like this," Gage proudly introduced to Sig.

It seems he had been hiding something before – not his own strength, but the strength of the Germa Kingdom.

Just then, the screen showed that the Sea Bass was catching up with Germa 1 underwater, clearly indicating that the Sun Pirates knew that this guy had "abducted" their comrades.

"Commander! There are pirate ships chasing us underwater, they should be Fish-Man Race's ships!" A researcher with glasses thicker than the bottom of a bottle, so thick you could see circles, reported to Gage.

Seeing this, Gage didn't mince words with Sig and asked directly, "If war breaks out, can we sink the enemy?"

"Alright! However... Commander, we don't have a good solution for the Fish-Man Race Warrior right now."

"Can you guarantee that after sinking the enemy, you can escape from the navy's encirclement?" Gage changed the subject.

After a series of impressive calculations, the researchers declared, "Even after sinking the enemy, Germa 1 still has an 89% chance of escaping!"

"Hahaha... It seems your kin might have some misunderstanding about your visit to Germa... Well, Fish-Man are indeed quite strong underwater, but would you like to see the weapons mounted on Germa 1 later?" Gage said to Sig meaningfully.

If Gage were to fight the Fish-Man Pirates underwater, he wouldn't have much of a chance of winning.

However, victory is not necessary, since the Navy's next target is definitely not the Germa Kingdom!

If the delay extends until the Navy surrounds them, Gage is confident he can escape. However, while the Sun Pirates may not be completely wiped out, most of them will certainly be arrested.

Sig was well aware of Gage's intentions, but there was nothing he could do about such an open scheme...

"There is indeed some misunderstanding... There's an underwater megaphone, right? Let me explain to Boss Fisher Tiger," Sig said helplessly.

"That's good. After all, we're just guests. It wouldn't be good if any misunderstandings occurred." Gage was very satisfied with Sig's "sensible" attitude.

As for how to transmit messages, it's quite simple— Germa's ship is essentially a modified version of a giant Den Den Mushi, with a huge, snail-like Den Den Mushi body extending from its bow!

Although its primary capability is no longer making phone calls, contacting nearby Den Den Mushi) and amplifying its voice are fundamental functions of Germa One.

"Fisher Tiger, this is Sig... Mr. Gage invited me to visit the Germa headquarters in the North Sea. I... will probably be there for a while, a few months at the earliest, a year at the latest. I'll rejoin everyone after that! Until then, don't worry about me..."

As Sig spoke, he observed Gage's reaction.

He clearly didn't care about the time Sig mentioned, and even nodded slightly to Sig, indicating that he was satisfied with the timing.

However, Sig could tell that he had no intention of letting him go. It wasn't that the experiments he needed to cooperate with could be completed within a year, but rather... that he was certain that Zieg wouldn't want to leave within a year!

Perhaps they were already dead and completely unconscious, or perhaps it was through some other means...
