[Green Pheasant Audience: No way, this is one of the four Sweet Commanders?! Are you kidding me, she got defeated by Robin in a few moves?!]
[Camel Audience: This is definitely a fake; it's impossible for the Sweet Commanders to have such low-level strength!]
[Hahaha, admit it, this is the power of our goddess Robin. She already has the power of the senior executives of the Four Emperors Pirates!]
[Goat Audience: In that case, does it mean that Rifan, too, possesses the power of the Four Emperors?!]
[Kangaroo Audience: It's really surprising. No wonder Rifan can have Robin act so unscrupulously against Smoothie from the Big Mom Pirates.]
[Eagle Audience: Robin wounding Smoothie is a happy thing, after all, Rifan and the Big Mom Pirates are now sworn enemies! However, if Robin has such power, would Big Mom Charlotte Linlin really trouble Rifan so easily?]
[Green Pheasant Audience: Of course, if she doesn't seek revenge, where would she put the reputation of the Four Emperors?]
[Hehe, what is reputation? Compared with profit, reputation is not as important. I don't think Big Mom would be so foolish as to provoke Brother Rifan recklessly.]
"Smoothie!"
"Sister!"
Charlotte Citron and Charlotte Cinnamon, Smoothie's sisters, witnessed her contorted and injured state. They rushed forward with weapons in hand, ignoring the demon Robin standing beside Smoothie.
However, Rifan's presence immediately blocked their path. "Sorry, please don't disturb the battle between my partner and your general. If you insist on interfering, I can only assume that you want me to do the same."
Rifan held Thunderbolt playfully, keeping a watchful eye on Citron and Cinnamon.
Ada, who was standing not far behind Cinnamon and the others, caught Rifan's eye and exchanged a meaningful glance with him. She winked at him quietly, and her message was clear: "Go ahead."
The unspoken understanding between Ada and Rifan was enough for Rifan to grasp Ada's intentions.
"Damn it, get out of the way!"
"Rifan, don't even think about hurting my sister again!"
Citron and Cinnamon ignored Rifan's warning and charged forward. However, with a casual wave of Rifan's hand, a power grid blocked their path, forcing them to halt.
Rifan did the same for other members of the Big Mom Pirates who were following Smoothie.
Once Rifan had ensured that they wouldn't interfere, he turned his attention back to the huge demon Robin and nodded slightly.
The enormous demon Robin smiled knowingly and raised her massive foot as if to stomp on Smoothie's head.
Smoothie, wide-eyed and horrified, desperately tried to stop Robin, but her injuries prevented her from speaking. Her life hung in the balance, and she couldn't express her willingness to surrender.
"Damn it, am I going to die here?!" Smoothie's thoughts raced as she witnessed the impending threat.
But at that moment, a somewhat familiar voice broke into Smoothie's ears.
"This voice is… Ada?!"
Smoothie was overjoyed, and at the same time, hope surged in her heart. She knew that Ada had a certain relationship with Rifan. If there was anyone on her boat who could persuade Rifan, it was Ada.
Sure enough, as soon as Ada's voice sounded, Rifan's command to stop reached Smoothie's ears.
"Pause, Robin."
As Rifan's command fell, Smoothie saw the enormous demon Robin's huge foot halt just 5 cm above her cheek.
Smoothie's heart pounded wildly because she had never wanted to rely on others so much. But this time, the person she relied on was Ada.
Smoothie took a deep breath and tried hard to keep her eyes fixed on Rifan and Ada.
"What's going on, Ada?" Rifan extended the power grid created by Thunder Devil Fruit's ability, creating a hole just big enough for Ada to pass through as he watched Ada approach with a meaningful expression.
At this point, Rifan had already entered drama mode.
"Rifan, didn't you say earlier that this was just a competition, not a battle to the death?"
"Smoothie is defeated now, shouldn't Robin stop?" Ada stood about half a meter away from Rifan, wearing the same meaningful smile on her face, as she started her drama mode.
"Defeat? Stop?" Rifan looked at Smoothie lying on the ground, then patted his head as if he had just remembered. "Look at my memory; I almost forgot. This isn't a battle to the death. Robin, retract your abilities. I think Miss Smoothie has realised her defeat."
When Robin heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she immediately withdrew her Devil Fruit ability. In an instant, the colossal demon Robin, who had been standing beside Smoothie, transformed into countless beautiful petals and floated away. The disappearance of the enormous demon Robin brought a long sigh of relief from Smoothie.
"Miss Smoothie, now that the contest is over, we'll take our leave," Rifan said. "Tell Big Mom the outcome of this battle when you return. She won't blame you. Your lifespan will probably be spared."
Rifan moved towards Smoothie, giving her a big smile. Smoothie's expression was extremely speechless and complicated.
"Wait, Rifan," Ada suddenly stopped Rifan.
"What is it, Ada?" Rifan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ada with a puzzled expression.
"Smoothie isn't suitable for sailing in her current condition. If she encounters Marines or other pirates, it could be bad. You have superb medical skills. Since Smoothie ended up like this because of Robin, could you please use your medical skills to treat her?"
"Medical treatment isn't within my usual purview. After all, Miss Smoothie initiated the battle in the first place. It wouldn't have happened if they weren't trying to force me into becoming Charlotte Linlin's son-in-law," Rifan replied, shaking his head with an indifferent expression.
"Don't say that, Rifan. Just consider it a favour I'm begging you for. Plus, you still owe me a favour, remember?"
Ada approached Rifan with an extremely gentle and flattering smile on her face, tightly clinging to Rifan's arm and placing it into her chest.
"So, you plan to use this favour in exchange for my treatment of Smoothie?"
"Ada, are you sure you want to do this? If similar situations arise in the future, I might not necessarily be trustworthy to you," Rifan stated, looking at Ada seriously.
"Smoothie have been kind to me. If you're willing to treat her, I'm willing to use it," Ada replied with a determined expression.
"Very well," Rifan nodded slightly and, under Smoothie's anxious gaze, pretended to use Flower-Flower Fruit. In the next moment, to the astonishment of Big Mom's pirates and the Nine Snake Pirates, a completely new arm sprouted around Smoothie's body.
These arms were different from the ones Robin had created with her Flower-Flower Fruit ability. At a glance, everyone could tell that the arms growing on Smoothie's body were male.
"Rifan, is this you using Robin's Devil Fruit?!" Smoothie widened her eyes and asked, voicing the doubts in her heart.
"That's right. Brace yourself, Miss Smoothie; I'm going to reset your body to a certain extent," Rifan said, nodding generously. He manipulated the arm growing on Smoothie's body to reset her bones.
As a master of the Flower-Flower Fruit, Rifan had consulted Robin on joint techniques. In addition to learning medical skills from Nojiko and Chopper's medical skills, Rifan's joint skills surpassed even Robin's. Consequently, he had his own excellent methods for bone restoration.
"Ouch...that's good, but a bit gentler, Rifan!" Smoothie cried out in pain due to the bone adjustments. However, Rifan didn't intend to be too gentle, and with a set of domineering methods, he largely repaired the almost fatal fractures on Smoothie's body.
"There you go, your life isn't in danger now. You'll need some additional treatment afterward," Rifan assured, pretending to leave once more.
"Rifan, don't rush to leave. You must have other ways to speed up Smoothie's recovery. For the sake of that 'favour,' please complete Smoothie's treatment thoroughly," Ada urged, as if reluctant to let Rifan go so easily.
Seeing this, Rifan frowned briefly and then shook his head in embarrassment.
"Fine. For you, I'm delaying my departure for a short while. Mikita, Robin, wait here while I finish treating Miss Smoothie. And as for the empress over there, it's a rare meeting; we can consider it fate."
"Please don't leave yet, I think we can have a good chat later."
