"This fight will probably last longer." Vermillion shook his head. If Artoria did not want to use her Noble Phantasm, they would fight for several more hours.
"My dear, how about we take a break first?" Minamoto gently hugged Vermillion from behind, "The old man's stamina is quite admirable; on the other hand, Artoria doesn't want to use her Noble Phantasm either. This battle will last for at least the next few hours."
"How about sleeping with me first? After you wake up, they might be done." She continued, "As long as Semiramis is on guard, those soldiers won't be able to escape either."
"Let's wait until the fight is over, and this is Artoria's fight, after all, so I want to see it through to the end." He replied while holding Minamoto's hand.
"As you wish. How about you rest your head on my lap while you watch? It would be very comfortable."
"Ahem, it's a bit inappropriate if we do that. Artoria fights seriously as we speak, so we need to be serious, too."
"Really, my dear, you're too serious. You weren't like this before." She said as she rubbed her cheek spoilingly against her lover's arm.
"You both bond well." Robin greeted.
"Of course! Vermillion and I have the best relationship ever, hehe~" Minamoto was getting carried away.
"Ah, you finally came out, Robin." Vermillion greeted back.
"The situation allows me to get out, and the Navy and World Government side will lose soon. So I think this battle is no longer dangerous for me." She nodded.
"You should also have more faith in your ability," He shook his head, "Even if you stand by my side during battle, no one will be able to jeopardize your life."
"But I don't want to be a burden." She replied with a smile.
Hearing Robin's answer, Vermillion could only shrug.
"I didn't expect the information to be true. It turns out that Robin really is on your ship." Shanks was shocked after learning that the news about Robin joining the Drake Pirates proved true.
"We met by chance while sailing, so I invited her into our group," Vermillion responded with a smile.
"Robin, you know that the World Government and the Navy are after us. With you with me, this will attract their attention even more."
"I don't care. I used to be hunted by them anyway." She brushed her hair to the side, saying, "As long as you don't want to drive me away, I will stay with you."
"Well, since I invited you to join me, I will be responsible for your safety." He smiled confidently.
"Thank you, Captain." Robin smiled gently.
"Ah, Shanks, if you want to rest, you can use our castle. Since you intend to help us, we'll treat you to a nice meal after the fight ends."
"It's fine, and I want to see Garp fight anyway. It's rare to see him fight that passionately; on the other hand, that girl's performance is also very mesmerizing." He shook his head, "If I miss this fight, I'll regret it later."
Yasopp and Benn Beckman both nodded.
