Chapter 249 Two Women
"Cut off her own leg?"
Dragon and Ivankov exchanged glances.
"Even if she cuts off her leg, what then?"
Dragon looked out at the boundless sea and continued:
"On this vast sea, if the Sand Crocodile loses her legs, does she still have a way to escape?"
"Besides, didn't the Sand Crocodile, with both legs intact, lose to you before? If she really wanted to escape, could she escape from your hands?"
"...That's true."
Sig felt slightly relieved.
Only in front of Croco-Delle could Sig display the swordsmanship of the Shang Dynasty's number one swordsman, completely dominating her.
"Then next...."
Dragon stopped mid-sentence, looking at Sig, waiting for his response.
"I understand."
Sig called over a bandit and gave him a few instructions.
The three of them walked back onto the deck.
But the scene on the deck surprised Sig, Dragon, and the others slightly.
Two ships, bandits on one side, revolutionaries on the other. Two groups that normally wouldn't have anything to do with each other were now gathered together harmoniously, excitedly discussing something.
Sig looked towards the crowd and saw a shiny bald head surrounded by people in the center...
At this moment, a bandit had already brought Robin over.
"Nico Robin, it's finally nice to meet you."
A smile appeared on Dragon's face, showing goodwill. But his fierce appearance made Robin tense up slightly at the smile, inching closer to Sig.
"Robin, they are the Revolutionary Army. They have been looking for you, the 'Light of the Revolution'."
Sig spoke up, making a brief introduction.
After the introduction, Sig didn't interject further, letting Robin talk with the two revolutionaries.
He himself turned his attention to the others.
Apart from the bald man who, for some unknown reason, had already integrated with the revolutionaries, on the other side, Fish-Man Arlong and Hack were also chatting enthusiastically and had already started a drinking contest.
Nearby, a small, orange-haired girl was playing happily with Baby-5, who was about the same age.
"Is this... Koala?"
Sig's mind stirred.
His gaze fell on Koala and Baby-5, his expression softening slightly.
Koala, the slave girl, similar to Baby-5, had a tragic childhood and developed a rather unhealthy personality.
But now, it seemed Koala was in the state after being redeemed successively by the Sun Pirates and the Revolutionary Army; her eyes were very bright.
Sig ignored Robin, but Robin's attention occasionally fell on Sig.
Especially when she saw Sig seeming absent-minded, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the orange-haired little girl in the crowd, Robin's heart jolted.
Currently, the two groups, revolutionaries and bandits, were mingling happily on the ship, the two vessels sailing side by side.
During this time, Sig also tried to subtly talk with Dragon, asking if he wanted to go to the Florian Triangle sea area with him, but Dragon politely declined.
The island where Alabasta was located was in the first half of the Grand Line, but Sig's destination, the Florian Triangle sea area, was already close to the midpoint of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago, a long journey.
Dragon, as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, as well as Ivankov and the others, couldn't afford to spend time here.
About half an hour later, the sun gradually set, and night fell.
And Sig called Robin into his room.
"Robin, you seem to be getting along quite well with the revolutionaries..."
A faint smile appeared on Sig's face.
Although Robin was only eighteen, her difficult experiences had given her good observational skills, and she quickly hit it off with the revolutionaries.
But hearing Sig say this, Robin's heart tightened slightly.
The next moment, she heard Sig say:
"Robin, the Revolutionary Army will part ways with us tomorrow. Since you get along well with them, why don't you leave with them tomorrow?"
"Mr. Sig really dislikes me for being too old and wants to push me away?" Robin blurted out subconsciously.
"Only lolis can stay on this ship?"
Sig was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened.
However, he controlled his emotions and said lightly:
"You're overthinking it. This has nothing to do with your age."
Sig stood up, walked beside Robin, and said seriously:
"Your life has many more possibilities. Maybe in the future, you'll become a revolutionary, or even... a pirate."
Sig said with hidden meaning.
With the strength of the Revolutionary Army, they could indeed protect Robin.
The current Sig was considered to know the secrets of the Celestial Dragons' national treasure and ancient weapons.
Mixing with Robin, who could decipher the Poneglyphs, was dangerous for both parties.
Moreover, after joining the Revolutionary Army, Robin could turn white, grow bigger, and become beautiful earlier. When she became a mature version of Robin, wouldn't that be delightful...
Furthermore, Robin's dream was to pursue the truth of history and find the Poneglyphs. This meant her ultimate goal must be the Pirate King's One Piece.
Sig didn't have such grand ambitions.
........
The next day, the Revolutionary Army's ship left with Robin.
After they left, Sig once again came to Croco-Delle's cell.
In his hand, he held the ankle shackle that Ivankov had personally given him.
A moment later.
Sig and Croco-Delle, who had regained her freedom under the sun, walked out of the cell one after the other.
"Remember, your range of movement is limited to this ship. If you make any suspicious moves... don't underestimate my imagination."
Sig threatened calmly.
Croco-Delle's face darkened again. She took a drag of her cigar, intending to retort harshly.
But thinking about what Sig had done to her before, she ultimately just snorted coldly.
This time it was gender change.
If there was a next time, given Sig's depravity, Croco-Delle truly couldn't imagine how Sig would treat her.
"Stussy, keep an eye on Croco-Delle for me from now on."
Sig glanced back at Stussy, his gaze seemingly holding a hidden meaning.
Behind him, Stussy nodded slightly, her eyes hidden in the shadow of her white hat's brim, her pupils unconsciously trembling slightly.
"No problem."
Stussy replied.
After saying this, Sig strode away.
Only Stussy and Croco-Delle remained, standing silently, facing each other without words.
"Croco-Delle?"
Stussy whispered her name, her expression extremely complex, her pupils also trembling slightly.
Stussy had already seen Ivankov and learned about Crocodile being imprisoned by Sig.
Therefore, it wasn't difficult to deduce the true identity of the woman in front of her.
Stussy suddenly felt a chill.
