Early in the morning, Vermillion got woken up by Annie and Mary. After bathing together, they went to the yard and found none. Turning to Anne, Vermillion said, "Anne, Mary, can you wait here for a moment? I want to go see Gan Fall; I'll be back soon."
Receiving nods from them, Vermillion was ready to go meet Gan Fall, but just as he was about to leave, Semiramis called out to him, "I want to come with you."
"After discussing things with Gan Fall, I'm sure you want to set up an Array around the area. If that's the case, why not bring me along? I can help you set up that teleportation spot." Holding out her hand, Semiramis asked in a commanding tone, "What? Won't you hold my hand and go together?"
Smiling, Vermillion accepted Semiramis' request: "It would be my honor to accompany you, my lady." Then, the two flew into the sky toward Gan Fall's position.
"It must have been fun playing with two cute bunnies last night." On the way, Semiramis suddenly whispered something right into Vermillion's ear.
Hearing it, Vermillion felt trembling. Turning to her, he answered, "I don't mind if you want to be one of those cute bunnies. Would you like to wear a Bunny suit, too?"
Semiramis immediately blushed, her heart beating faster when the man suddenly hugged her. "If it were you, I would consider it," she said softly.
"So excited, haha!" Imagining Semiramis wearing a naughty costume, Vermillion felt motivated.
"Let's finish our business here first; that can be discussed later," Semiramis said.
"Alright." Nodding, Vermillion accelerated their flight rate.
Because he didn't have a special government and as long as Gan Fall didn't try to disobey his orders, he would hand over all responsibility to Gan Fall. Therefore, the discussion ended quickly, and all the citizens of Skypiea expressed their willingness to recognize him as their ruler/God.
After everything was finished, Vermillion collected the rest of the island's gold and returned to Hanging Garden with Semiramis.
"Our business here is finished; let's continue our journey," Vermillion informed all his crews. With their nod, he controlled Hanging Garden to descend from Skypiea.
The descent process was smooth, and the Hanging Garden quickly hit the sea. "I think I hit something." Using telekinesis, Vermillion realized that he had just hit a ship and turned it into rubble.
"That's..." Seeing a familiar figure floating on the sea, Vermillion was taken aback, "Why is she here?" Confused, he lifted the unconscious Kalifa towards the Hanging Garden.
"Hey, wake up, wake up."
"Unn~" Kalifa slowly opened her eyes. When Vermillion's figure appeared in her eyes, she was shocked.
"M-Marshal Blue?! Why are you here?"
"That's my question. Why do chains bind your body?"
"T-that's." Kalifa is confused about whether she needs to tell Vermillion about her betrayal. Even though she had had close contact with this man, they were still enemies.
