"You don't want to, but I can already guess it." Seeing Kalifa's doubts and the World Government's destroyed ship, he had roughly guessed it. "Tell me, you were hunted and captured by World Government Agents, right?"
"That's right... The World Government thought that I had given them false information, which resulted in two high-class Agents dying under the hands of your group."
"Not just me; all CP9 members are fugitives, and I'm sure Spandam is dead by now. I and the remaining members managed to escape, all thanks to Blueno's help." Sighing sadly, Kalifa continued, "Actually, Blueno had been captured at that time, but we managed to save him when Garp's group was at war with yours."
"But considering the power and influence of the World Government, we were successfully recaptured and separated. When I was being transported to the execution table, suddenly, the ship hit something, and I lost consciousness for a moment... When I regained consciousness, you were in front of me."
"You were lucky that the collision didn't kill you." He answered while shaking his head. If Hanging Garden had hit the World Government ship right at the critical point, Kalifa would have died.
"So, what are your plans now?" He asked while destroying the chains that bound Kalifa's body.
"I don't know. I have served the World Government since I was very young, and now I am being hunted by them." Kalifa answered in an almost whisper tone.
"Want to join my group?"
Receiving such an offer, Kalifa was shocked, "B-but, don't you hate me after what I did to you? Remember, I tried to get your information and give it to the World Government."
"Forget the old story." He smiled. "So, yes or no?"
Seeing Marshal Blue stretch out his hand, Kalifa was silent momentarily, confused about what to answer. But after thinking about it carefully, she finally accepted the offer: "I accept your invitation, Marshal Blue!"
"Welcome to our crew. Here, take it." Smiling broadly, Vermillion took out a Bubble-Bubble Fruit and handed it to Kalifa. He never expected that the Bubble-Bubble Fruit he got would end up in the hands of its intended user.
"Th-this? This is Devil Fruit!" Kalifa was even more shocked, "Is it appropriate for me to accept it? I just joined."
"Don't ask too many questions; if I give it, I won't take it again. I think this Bubble-Bubble Fruit ability suits you."
"Is this Bubble-Bubble Fruit?"
"With it, your strength will increase greatly. Remember, we have many strong enemies, so you must increase your strength."
Given this precious Bubble-Bubble Fruit, Kalifa finally agreed and peeled its skin. Taking a small bite, She chewed it and then swallowed it quickly while covering her mouth.
"It sure tastes good," he said while laughing.
"It's not!!!"
