"Considering your strength, Ms. Gion."
"I think I'll give you some... No, it should be a large amount of anaesthesia."
"To keep your body in a state of weakness."
Rifan smiled.
He spoke his mind without hesitation.
For a powerful person like Gion.
It's not safe to just tie her up and imprison her with seastone chains.
Only with a medication, Rifan can safely take her with him.
"I see." Gion nodded, "I heard that you pays attention to promises, so can you make a promise with me?"
"A promise huh, what kind of promise do you want to make with me, Ms. Gion?"
Rifan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I want to make a promise with you that if Marine fulfils it's promise to make you a Shichibukai."
"You must release me immediately."
"In addition, after solving Shiki, you need to actively find the current Shichibukai to challenge."
"Also, during the time I was on board the Black Pearl."
"You can't do anything to me other than inject me with anaesthesia.
"I can't be locked up in a dark cell."
"The last point, after solving Shiki, you need to treat the infected people in Naval Headquarters!"
Gion said with a smile on her face.
"It seems you want to agree to my conditions."
"This kind of spirit of risking oneself, if the two of us are not in the same camp."
"I'm sure to be charmed by you."
When Rifan heard Gion's words, he couldn't help clapping his hands.
"I can make an agreement with you and agree to your conditions."
"But I'm afraid that Sengoku is just playing with me, so he will still reject me."
"Or rather, he doesn't believe that I'm willing to follow through with what I promised."
"After all, some people, when they are a person who does not keep the agreement."
"I often suspect others as people who are unwilling to abide by the agreement."
Rifan turned his head, looked at the den-den mushi and said.
"Marshal Sengoku, the matter of Shiki is urgent."
"It is absolutely impossible to give them free time to develop."
"Since Shiki is not far away, why don't we catch him now?"
"Although Rifan is a pirate, Hina has shown his character traits of being willing to keep his promises."
"For such a person, why don't we believe him once?"
Gion looked into the den-den mushi and said very solemnly.
"Gion..." Sengoku let out a long breath.
After a while, he nodded.
"Now that you're ready, do as you say."
"Rifan, if you want to be Shichibukai, then do what you say."
"I will inform Tokikake to join you later, and then you all go to chase Shiki together."
Hearing this, Gion breathed a sigh of relief.
But Rifan shook his head.
"It is enough for those who pursue Shiki to be the people on my side plus Gion. After all, I don't want to be sieged and arrested after defeating Shiki."
Hear Sengoku say Tokikake's name.
Rifan understood why the aura around Gion was so strong at first.
Another Marine Admiral alternate, Tokikake.
Rifan knows this man love for Gion.
Rifan even felt that even with Sengoku's order, if he wanted to take Gion away, Tokikake would fight him.
As a matter of fact, the gathering of two Marine Admiral candidates is enough to put considerable pressure on the Black Pearl.
Maybe, when the situation is right.
Gion may also betray their deal and cooperate with Tokikake to arrest them.
In Gion's background story, she is portrayed as a female Marine who can deceive pirates.
So Rifan didn't trust her either.
"Rifan, the strength of Shiki has increased."
"The last time the two of us worked together, we can't keep him."
"If only the two of us act again this time, will it be a little risky?"
Gion asked, frowning.
"The reason why Shiki escaped last time was because I was worried that you would turn against me."
"And last time you didn't promise me to make me a Shichibukai."
"This time, I believe we can kill that bastard Shiki."
"Ms. Gion, you haven't seen my full strength yet."
Rifan stood up and patted Gion's shoulder meaningfully.
Now, his physique has grown a lot.
His Observation Haki has improved, reaching the level of foreseeing the future. And he has mastered Conqueror Haki infusion.
Rifan felt that under such circumstances, if he and Gion still could not take down an old and disabled lion.
Then they are too useless.
"Speaking of which, aren't you very curious about the slash that soared into the sky earlier, Miss Gion?"
"Let me ask you this, have you ever heard of 'Conqueror's infusion?"
Rifan raised his mouth and raised his right hand in front of Gion.
Following a flash of black-red brilliance, Rifan's right hand palm was entwined with a flash of black-red electric light.
It is the power called 'Conqueror's infusion.'
"Conqueror's infusion? What's that?"
"Conqueror haki can be infused?"
"Are you trying to say that this black and red lightning thing in your hand is Conqueror's infusion?"
Gion raised her eyebrows, and looked at Rifan curiously.
Although on the surface, her mood did not fluctuate.
But in fact, there was already a monstrous wave in her heart!
Under close perception, she can perceive the horror of the energy in Rifan's hand.
Even if it is only a little bit, it is already much stronger than other forms of energy she knew!
Of course, what surprised her even more was that what Rifan said seemed to be true.
Conqueror's really seem to be able to do the same with Armament Haki's infusion.
Her Observation Haki can clearly perceive that the energy in Rifan's hand is Conqueror's Haki.
Soon, Sengoku's words proved her point.
"Conqueror Infusion!? Black and red lightning?!"
"Gion, are you sure Rifan has such power flowing in his hand!?"
Across from the den-den mushi, Sengoku's voice went up a pitch.
"That's right, Marshal Sengoku, Rifan does have such energy in his hands."
"Its form...is exactly the same as Conqueror's Haki."
Gion said.
"That's it, since even you say that, then it's right. I didn't expect, Rifan, that you still possess such power. I'm curious why you didn't use such power when you fought Kuzan."
Sengoku took a deep breath and asked Rifan after calming down a little.
"It's very simple. At that time, I only knew that Conqueror's could be infused, but I hadn't learned it yet."
Rifan scattered the Conqueror's Haki in his hand, and said indifferently.
"So that's the case, then your progress is really terrifying."
"But I now believe that you and Gion can defeat Shiki."
"That Shiki is...after all... not as strong as before."
Sengoku's words were full of exclamation.
"Marshal Sengoku, Conqueror Haki infusion, is it a special ability?"
Gion asked curiously.
"Of course it's special, if only one person in a million can awaken Conqueror's Haki."
"Among those who have awakened Conqueror's Haki, those who can master Conqueror's infusion are one in a million."
"In this entire sea, there are only a handful of people who have mastered this power."
"But everyone who has this power is the most powerful group of people."
"Pirate King Roger, Four Emperors Whitebeard, Four Emperors Kaido, including the former Shiki are all like this."
"Now, I need to add Rifan from the list."
Sengoku spoke.
And his words also let the spectator fully understand how rare such power is.
She took a deep look, and in her mind, she could already imagine that Rifan would become the existence of Four Emperors in the future.
"Heh, after you guys know that Mikita can also use Conqueror infusion as well, you will be even more surprised."
'But that guy Shiki can actually use Conqueror's infusion...'
Rifan frowned.
Fortunately, Gion helped him to ask Sengoku his doubts.
"Marshal Sengoku, are you sure that Shiki wields such power as the Conqueror's infusion!?"
If he had such power, he wouldn't be so embarrassed in Alabasta you know?
Gion asked, frowning beautifully.
"I'm talking about his past self."
"That man, since the Battle of Edd War with Roger Pirates, with that rudder on his head, It seems that it becomes impossible to use Conqueror's Haki."
"Thanks to this, Garp and I had a much easier time when he invaded Naval Headquarters."
Sengoku said.
As Sengoku speculates.
Shiki does have Conqueror's Haki and Conqueror's infusion.
The reason Shiki said to William that he does not have the power of Conqueror's entanglement is only to say that he cannot use this power now.
"So there is such a saying."
"It seems that I also have to protect my head."
"I can't afford to have something stuck in my head one day, just like the rudder of a ship, as Shiki did."
"Sengoku, this is the end of the conversation."
"I left a little trinket with Shiki when he left. "
"I can detect where he is now."
"Since a decision has been made, I will get rid of that guy as soon as possible."
Rifan said with a smile on his face.
"I will wait for your good news, Rifan, Gion."
"Also, there is one more thing, Rifan."
"That scientist William, I want you to catch him alive as possible."
Although Sengoku is against the Five Elders orders, but after all, he can't disobey their orders.
"William? I'll do what I can."
Rifan sneered and hung up the call directly.
Just kidding, how is it possible to give William to Marine.
If the zombie virus is controlled by the World Government, who knows what kind of purgatory they will turn the world into.
Rifan had already made a decision in his heart, he must kill William with his own hands!
Even the people of the Eagle Empire felt that Shiki was in danger at this moment.
Especially at this time, Shiki has not chosen to leave far away.
At this moment, they only hope that William Birkin can survive.
They even felt, even if William is caught by the World Government, he may be able to get a pretty good deal.
Although losing his pirate status may prevent him from earning points.
But at least the scientists of the World Government can bring him a considerable position.
This may also help other reincarnators of the Eagle Country.

"So, are you ready to set off to hunt down Shiki, Rifan?"
Gion put her hand on her sword at her waist, stood up quietly, and asked Rifan solemnly.
"Captain Rifan, I will also go with you to deal with that Shiki."
Before Rifan could speak, Mikita's voice came over.
Behind her, Robin, Nami, Kalifa and all the crew members of the Black Pearl Pirates came over.
Gion's gaze—flicked over Mikita and the others, and finally settled on Kalifa.
'Black Pearl Pirates, besides that pervert man, are there other newcomers joining? "
'And this Mikita, why do I always feel that this girl is stronger than last time?'
'Did she also hidden her strength last time?'
Gion thought with some doubts.
