At this moment, the Celestial Dragon Charloss, surrounded by hundreds of elites from various factions, had already boarded a World Government ship.
Standing at the bow of the ship, he looked down at the dense crowd below, his mind stirring with certain thoughts.
"With so many people here, perhaps we can catch that despicable criminal, Sig!"
"I'm safe now. There's no way Sig could chase me out to sea, right?"
With this thought in mind, Charloss cleared his throat, put on a stern face, and ordered the black-suited men beside him:
"Tell the leaders of these factions to go capture Si—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the murmurs of the crowd.
He was about to scold them for their disrespect, but when he heard the content of the murmurs, Charloss froze once again.
"Doflamingo has appeared?"
A subordinate walked up to one of the underworld bosses and reported the latest news.
"He showed up on the streets of Loguetown and seems to have confronted Sig?"
"These two figures just happened to meet here? Is Doflamingo also after the treasure map?"
Treasure map... Doflamingo...
Charloss's expression immediately darkened.
If Sig, who dared to attack a Celestial Dragon, had become a thorn in the side of Charloss's family, making them wish for his immediate death, then Doflamingo, a former Celestial Dragon, was the sworn enemy of all Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise, a mix of disdain and fear.
No Celestial Dragon would want to have anything to do with someone like Doflamingo.
"Let's go! Forget about Sig. Set sail! Get us out of here!"
"And keep a close eye on the treasure map!"
Soon, the Celestial Dragon's ship set sail.
The underworld bosses who had sent off the Celestial Dragon still wore grave expressions.
"Sig and Doflamingo... If these two powerhouses clash in Loguetown, it will be a disaster!"
"We must find a way to stop this!"
On the streets near the auction house.
"Three minutes. For three minutes, I won't fight back. I'll only dodge, letting you attack me. How about that?"
Sig's words actually contained a linguistic trap.
By presenting a choice, the other party could only respond with a yes or no.
Three minutes of not fighting back might not seem like a long time, but it was a significant concession.
Moreover... Sig was well aware of the weakness of his 100% Dodge ability.
If Doflamingo used a move similar to Crocodile's, such as the Birdcage, Sig wouldn't be able to escape.
But in three minutes, Doflamingo probably wouldn't have time to unleash such a large-scale attack.
Unless... there was a smaller version of the Birdcage?
As Sig's mind wandered, he noticed the veins on Doflamingo's forehead bulging, a clear sign of murderous intent.
At that moment, Baby 5 suddenly spoke.
Her body transformed again, her upper half turning into a pistol as she leaped into Sig's hands, where he caught her firmly.
Sig looked down, a bit confused.
In his hand, he held Baby 5's legs, while her upper body had transformed into a pistol with a barrel as wide as a cannon, aimed directly at Doflamingo.
A strange sense of familiarity washed over Sig.
Similar to when he wielded a sword after activating the Li Ting Card, holding the gun now felt like it had become an extension of his body, giving him the same sense of control.
Just like Li Ting's "man-saw unity," perhaps this could be called "man-gun unity"?
He suddenly felt that his style was becoming increasingly bizarre...
"Baby 5, can you turn your legs into part of the gun too... Never mind, just come down."
"I said I wouldn't fight back, and I'll keep my word."
Sig paused for a moment before speaking.
If he were to use the oversized pistol in his hand, his 100% Dodge ability would have to be deactivated early.
The Iruma Card could only be used for a maximum of five minutes at a time, but it could also be deactivated before the time was up.
Seeing this, the bald man and the others quickly pulled Baby 5, who had returned to her human form, far away, clearing a large area.
However, Doflamingo remained silent, not responding. It was unclear whether He was considering the offer — or simply disdained to respond
Time ticked by, second by second.
Sig's nervousness grew.
He didn't know what Doflamingo was planning, but Sig's time was running out.
"I have to do something... preferably force Doflamingo to attack me..."
After some thought, Sig's gaze fell on Baby 5 in the distance.
He thought of the reporter who had hurriedly fled earlier...
Sig didn't have the leisure to stop that reporter, but he could more or less guess what kind of terrible headlines and content would appear in the news in a few days...
"Maybe this can also help salvage my image..."
"I can't have such terrible news! The type I like is normal people..."
Sig didn't have time to carefully weigh the pros and cons. Once he came up with this plan, he immediately spoke:
"Doflamingo, you said earlier that I was exploiting Baby 5's weakness, right?"
Doflamingo looked at him with interest, still silent.
Sig, however, ignored this and continued with a serious expression:
"Hasn't it always been your Donquixote Family that treated Baby 5 as a tool and exploited her weakness?"
After these words, Doflamingo remained expressionless, showing no reaction.
However, Baby 5, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but speak up:
"That's not true... Young Master has always been good to me..."
"Really good?" Sig's expression gradually turned cold.
"The Donquixote Family isn't a charity organization... But after taking in Baby 5, you ignored her pathological personality and let her grow up ... Is that what you call being good to her?"
"Moreover, does this child even have a proper name?"
"Baby 5? What kind of name is that? Some kind of weapon model?"
After this speech, Baby 5, who had been about to retort, seemed struck dumb, unable to speak.
For her, her experiences in the Donquixote Family were at least warmer than her childhood abandonment.
But now, this seemingly warm facade had been mercilessly stripped away by Sig.
"In any case... I can't let Baby 5 stay with the Donquixote Family any longer."
Sig's expression showed a moment of conflict, but then he coldly declared.
"If three minutes of not fighting back isn't enough to show my sincerity, then... I'll take another step back."
At some point, Sig had drawn a short sword from his waist.
Then, without hesitation, he stabbed it into his own side.
"Doflamingo, now do you dare to attack?!"
