Looking at his new appearance in the mirror, Sig felt a surge of joy.
He had a bold idea, perhaps worth consuming another use to try.
With a thought, Sig created another fictional character.
In his consciousness, within the realm where 244 human figures floated, another figure gradually took shape.
His appearance changed once again.
Now, Sig was a somewhat thin man in a navy uniform, a Navy seaman.
"I've become a Navy seaman again, serving in Marine Headquarters, with the rank of Petty Officer?"
He now possessed the false memories of a Navy Petty Officer.
Daily Navy training, fighting pirates, scene after scene vividly appeared before his eyes.
"It seems I've learned the combat abilities of this fictional Petty Officer? Even though he's just a low-ranking Petty Officer."
At the same time, the bartender's memories also changed.
Sig still remembered the bartender's fabricated memories, the daily life in the bar, his interactions with Roger... but when recalling these memories, it felt like watching a video or reading a story, lacking the immersive feeling.
Sig pondered for a moment and tried bartending again.
But this time, no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't recreate the original flavor.
"Can I only use the abilities of one fictional character at a time? Is that what it means?"
Sig glanced at the description of the Attached Body Card several times.
Wang Luffy's abilities were "One-Man Tribe" and "Fictional Persona Creation."
One-Man Tribe was like making Sig, after using the card, a patient with multiple personalities, containing a total of 244 distinct fictional personalities, but only one could be in the dominant position at a time.
Fictional Persona Creation was the ability to fabricate fictional characters.
Currently, the 244 fictional characters were unformed; only the Navy Petty Officer and the Loguetown bartender were fully formed.
As long as Sig had a thought, he could return to the identities of these two people, but each switch would consume one use.
In addition, the system provided two supplementary explanations:
All these characters were fictional and didn't exist as identical real people in Sig's world.
Ultimately, these were fictional characters created through the Wang Luffy card. No matter how realistic they seemed, even possessing corresponding memories and skills, they weren't real.
The Wang Luffy Attached Body Card was special, with no time limit.
After Sig figured out the specific effects of the card, he changed back to his original appearance with a thought.
"Speaking of which, this ability feels familiar... Someone with multiple identities who can become a pirate, a bandit, a marine at will..."
Sig pondered, his expression gradually changing.
He thought of someone.
"Could it be that the Panda Man's true identity is actually me, Sig?"
At this moment, such an absurd thought even crossed Sig's mind.
Then, Sig immediately retrieved the newspapers he had just read and flipped through them again.
After carefully examining them this time, goosebumps rose all over Sig's body.
In one of the photos in the report on the Rainbase City sandstorm incident, a photo captured the crowd of Rainbase City residents.
The Panda Man, once again seamlessly blended into the crowd!
He had first discovered the Panda Man's existence in Loguetown.
During the Whole Cake Island incident, the Panda Man had suddenly disappeared. Sig had temporarily thought he had escaped the Panda Man's clutches...
Unexpectedly, he was back!
"Is the Panda Man a tail because he ate the Tail Tail Fruit? Why is he always following me?"
As Sig was feeling irritated, someone knocked on the door.
"Boss Sig, Crocodile has woken up."
Sig's heart stirred. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Bring Crocodile to me."
Crocodile was now Sig's captive, but how to deal with him was still a problem.
Therefore, Sig decided to discuss it with Kuro first.
A moment later, Kuro arrived, and Sig briefly explained Crocodile's situation.
"Boss, you want Crocodile to work for you?"
Kuro was slightly taken aback and also showed a thoughtful expression.
In Kuro's mind, he, Crocodile, and Sig were actually the same kind of people.
Equally ruthless, cunning, and wearing a glamorous mask.
However, compared to Crocodile and Sig, Kuro believed that his ambition and methods were still inferior to these two.
After all, Kuro only wanted to be a wealthy landowner in the countryside.
Crocodile wanted the ancient weapon that could destroy the world.
And as for Bandit King Sig... his ambitions were probably even greater...
After some thought, based on the information Sig provided, Kuro came up with a plan and explained his strategy for testing Crocodile.
After listening to Kuro, Sig was slightly surprised but remained expressionless.
He patted Kuro's shoulder and smiled.
"Not bad, it coincides with what I was thinking."
"I'll give you half a day off. Don't go to work yet, come with me to see Crocodile."
Before leaving, Sig had a thought and brought along the newspaper he had just read.
In a cabin on the lower level of the pirate ship, Sig and Crocodile faced each other once again.
Crocodile had previously suffered near-fatal injuries at Sig's hands, especially from Sig's final sword strike. However, with the help of Kureha, after being unconscious for several days, he finally woke up today.
At this moment, Crocodile was not only wrapped in several layers of bandages but also wore a pair of Seastone handcuffs, restricting his Devil Fruit ability.
The Seastone handcuffs were what Daz Bones had brought along when he left the Rainbase Casino prison.
However, despite his severe injuries and the Seastone handcuffs, Crocodile's face was pale, his breathing shallow, but his demeanor was still cold and gloomy.
When Sig entered, he remained indifferent, not even raising an eyebrow.
"Crocodile, you're much weaker than I expected."
Sig said indifferently.
At the same time, Kuro handed a newspaper to Crocodile.
This newspaper contained news related to the aftermath of the sandstorm incident. In addition to Crocodile's 600 million bounty, it also delved into Crocodile's early battle records.
That is... the well-known battle with the "Devil Child" Barrett.
