Background

Kael receives the vessel for his East Blue mission, then names it Tiga after recalling Ultraman Tiga and hoping to someday obtain an Ultraman-related companion through the gacha system. Naming the ship activates its Shipyard interface, which allows its size, durability, and facility capacity to grow by consuming Beli. 3 4

After Tiga's first Shipyard upgrade, its ship spirit manifests as Little Tiga. The spirit introduces himself as the vessel's ship spirit and demonstrates that he can become physically tangible when he wishes to perform an action. 6

Kael later gives Little Tiga the Storm-Storm Fruit, combining the spirit's innate command of the ship with storm creation. By the time Tashigi joins the Dusk Pirates, Tiga can independently control the vessel's route, direction, and speed while using wind to propel it. 15

Tiga is repeatedly upgraded as Kael invests the crew's funds into its development. At Level 2, it gains expanded facilities and the ability to generate storms within a hundred-meter radius; at Level 3, it grows beyond one hundred meters in length and gains an exceptionally durable hull and a storm barrier. 32 34 48

Appearance

Little Tiga appears as a small hooded child, while his true body is the Dusk Pirates' evolving pirate ship.

• Barely over one meter tall when first manifested. 6
• Wears a hood that leaves roughly two-thirds of his face concealed in shadow. 6
• Can shift between an intangible state and physical form to handle objects or act directly. 6
• At Level 2, Tiga's ordinary wooden hull is replaced by smooth, fragrant, unknown timber; its sails, masts, and lookout tower become more than twice as large. 32
• At Level 3, the vessel exceeds 100 meters from bow to stern. 48

Personality

Little Tiga has the mentality and innocence of a child. He is cheerful, earnest, and eager to be praised by Kael, returning expectantly after demonstrating his abilities. 6

He is deeply obedient to his captain and performs his duties with enthusiasm, whether steering the ship, responding to summons, relaying information, or preparing the crew for danger. 15 31 38

Story Role / Major Arcs

Naming and Manifestation

Kael names his new pirate ship Tiga and activates its Shipyard system. After an early upgrade, Little Tiga manifests and proves capable of physically handling cannonballs and operating the vessel's weaponry. 4 6

Becoming the Dusk Pirates' Helmsman

After obtaining the Storm-Storm Fruit, Tiga becomes the crew's primary means of navigation and rapid travel. He generates wind to drive the sails and follows Kael's orders to steer toward new islands while leaving clues for pursuing Marines. 15

Shells Town Upgrade

Following the raid on the G-153 Marine Base, Kael spends 50 million Beli to raise Tiga to Level 2. The transformation expands the ship and creates room for crew quarters, an improved Training Room, and a Chart Room. 31 32

Krieg Pirates Encounter

Tiga detects Krieg's approaching fleet and creates a three-dimensional wind model that lets Kael assess the semicircular encirclement. His warning gives the Dusk Pirates time to respond before entering the trap. 38

Level 3 Evolution

Kael gives Tiga a third overhaul to support the crew's continued training. The ship becomes over one hundred meters long, gains greatly increased speed and hull durability, and Little Tiga demonstrates a storm barrier around the vessel. 47 48
