"About this, I will negotiate with Rifan in detail."
"If Hina really becomes strong enough when she returns."
"It's okay to give Rifan a little more of what he wants."
Sengoku said.
This was something he had thought about a long time ago, so he said it very naturally.
"Since that's the case, let's wait for the specific situation from Hina's side to come back and discuss it."
"By the way, there is one more thing, Sengoku."
"About Rifan's abilities, 'trust' and 'body'."
"The condition of 'trust', we can tell other Marines."
"But the point of 'body' is to protect Hina and other female Marines who may go to Rifans' side.
"We can't say the condition of the 'body' involved in Rifan's fruit-sharing ability."
When Tsuru said it, her expression became extremely solemn.
"Don't worry."
"About that, I will only tell you."
"As for the others, I will change the condition of the body to 'contact' to all."
"Everyone just needs to understand that for Rifan to activate his abilities, body-to-body contact is enough."
Sengoku said solemnly.
"Contact? This reason is not bad.
Tsuru frowned tightly and nodded her head.
Then, she stood up from her seat.
"Sengoku, now that the matter is over, I'll get on with my work."
"I will slowly follow up on the matter of consulting the female Marine."
"In addition, since Rifan said that he needs to consume his lifespan to display his devil fruit ability.
"There's no way he could train too many people for the Marine."
"It's even impossible for him to use his abilities on his partners too many times."
"Even if he is a so-called long-lived species with a lifespan comparable to that of a Giant, it is impossible to use his abilities unlimitedly."
"So, the process of you reporting Rifan's ability to the World Government can be slightly suppressed."
"You can report it to Five Elders after I finish finalizing the people who are willing to go to Rifans' side."
"Otherwise, with their personalities, I'm afraid they will arrange for beautiful agents to go there as soon as possible."
"You should know that in the World Government, those female agents who have received training can really sacrifice themselves for 'orders' and strength."
"According to that Rifan's character, even if the other party wants to sacrifice herself out of order and power."
"But as long as they don't have the slightest hesitation in giving themselves, Rifan can accept it."
"To dedicate oneself to a strange man, for ordinary women, no matter how well they pretend, they will hesitate."
"But for those agents, it may be very simple to do this."
"Those people are probably as bold and unrestrained as those women in pleasure streets around the world."
Hearing Tsuru's words, Sengoku nodded solemnly and said:
"Rifan Observation Haki has reached a high level."
"It is definitely possible to feel a person's emotions or something."
"In the face of such a woman who is willing to sacrifice herself, he can indeed accept it."
"However, since his Observation Haki is very good, the possibility of him realizing that the other party is a spy is also very high.
"Unless the Five Elders are cooperating with him from the beginning and let these spies go to Rifan's side and let him train them."
"Otherwise, Rifan may not be willing to use his life to strengthen them."
"Having said that, given the characters of the Five Elders, they may adopt a two-pronged approach, while clearly arranging people to go to Rifan's side for Rifan to cultivate."
"On the other hand, I will try to send some spies who can hide in the dark to Rifan's side."
"Don't worry, I will remember your reminder."
"Since it is impossible for Rifan to train too many people for people other than his own crews."
"Then let's let Rifan train Marine as much as possible."
Having said that, Sengoku paused, and the solemn expression on his face became a little lighter.
"However, we still have to see how far Rifan can train Hina."
"Sigh, it's really complicated. On the one hand, I hope that kid can train Hina to a strong enough level."
"On the other hand, I don't want Rifan to have such a perverted ability."
Sengoku shook his head and said.
"Nico Robin, Mikita, Nami, Nojiko, Chopper, Carina and other crew members of the Black Pearl Pirates.
"Their strength is a testament to Rifan's ability."
"Sengoku, you already believe in Rifan's ability in your heart."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be in a hurry to come over to discuss with me at this time."
"But let's wait until Hina really comes back, observe her strength, and then discuss it again."
"By the way, don't forget to follow that Blackbeard Teach."
"Based on what I know about Rifan, he shouldn't lie about Blackbeard again."
"That man should have the same ability as Rifan."
"The power of darkness that can make the ability of a devil fruit user disappear, it's no wonder that Fire Fist Ace was caught by him."
"Dark Fruit's abilities are enough to be troublesome."
"If Teach obtained another powerful Devil Fruit.
"He may become the same headache as Rifan for Marine."
After Tsuru left a few words.
She turned and walked towards the door, leaving Sengoku's office.
Sengoku looked at the office door that was gradually closing, his eyes gradually became deeper.
"Indeed, Rifan's ability should indeed have the ability to make people marked by him become stronger quickly."
"He shouldn't lie about it, and as for Blackbeard, he shouldn't lie about it either."
"These two new Shichibukai are really not to be underestimated."
Sengoku muttered to himself.
He just felt his head hurt again.
Devil's Triangle Sea Area.
Black Pearl.
"Colonel Hina, so you are here!"
Hina was walking down the aisle of the cabin with her head down, when a familiar voice suddenly entered her ears.
She looked up, and saw Ain running towards her.
After Ain, there is Gion.
"Ain, Gion Vice Admiral, are you looking for Hina?"
Hina asked suspiciously.
"Ain hasn't seen you for a long time, and she is a little worried about your situation."
"So, she wants to come to find you."
"Binz, Shuzo and Momonga are also very concerned about your situation."
"But because of this floor, men other than Rifan can't enter."
"So it's only the two of us who came to find you."
While talking, Gion looked up and down at Hina in front of her.
After a while, Gion asked suspiciously:
"Hina, you seem to... have become a lot stronger?"
"Could it be, Rifan?"
Although Gion is in a weak state due to the anesthetic.
But her Observation Haki can still be used normally.
Naturally, she can feel the stronger aura on Hina than before.
Not to mention Gion.
Even Ain subconsciously felt that there was something different about Hina.
"Hina has indeed become a little different."
"Rifan has previously contacted Marshal Sengoku."
"The two of them agreed that Marine would not pursue Rifan's intention to recruit Moria to become a member of the Black Pearl Pirates."
"And Rifan needs to disclose his Devil Fruit's abilities to the Marine."
"Also, Rifan also needs to show the Marine his ability to quickly make his partners stronger."
"And the way to show it is to make Hina become stronger."
Hina pursed her lips, pointed at herself and said to the two people in front of her.
Gion: "Rifan's Devil Fruit ability?"
Ain: "That man made you stronger?!"
As soon as Hina's voice fell, Gion and Ain immediately showed curious expressions on their faces.
And naturally question it.
Hina pursed her lips, and finally told the two what Rifan said to Sengoku.
"Ability of two Devil Fruits!?"
"Trust and body?!"
"Shared fruit?"
"Is this true, Colonel Hina?"
"Wait, Colonel Hina, since you got power from Rifan."
"Then you...with Rifan?!"
Ain's eyes widened, and the thought that popped up in her mind surprised even her.
Rifan is a pirate.
And Hina is a Marine.
Ain doesn't think Hina can gain power from Rifan through the condition of trust.
so.
Since Hina gained power, it is only possible to pass the second condition.
"Ain, you forgot what Hina said."
"Even ordinary physical contact can activate Rifan's abilities."
"Just like when you were in the bathhouse before, the level of contact you rubbed Rifan's back can obviously activate his ability."
Gion patted Ain on the shoulder and said.
The matter between Hina and Rifan, although there are reasons for Hina itself.
But in Gion's view, Hina's doing so is not a sacrifice for the Marine.
therefore.
She didn't want too many people to know about Hina.
Knowing the secret of the Marine, she and Tsuru are enough.
"It turns out...it turns out to be like this."
"Sorry, Colonel Hina, I shouldn't have said that…"
Ain was shocked, and quickly bowed his head to apologize to Hina.
"No...it's okay, Hina doesn't care."
Hina pursed her lips and said absent-mindedly.
"Ain, the information Hina said is too important."
"Before Marshal Sengoku makes a decision."
"We can't bring this up with anyone else."
"Otherwise, this may cause other Marines to misunderstand Hina, you understand?"
Gion patted Ain on the shoulder and continued.
Hearing this, Ain was taken aback for a moment.
However, she quickly understood what Gion meant, and nodded quickly.
"Relax, Gion Vice Admiral, Colonel Hina."
"I won't tell anyone about this."
In order to express her firm will, Ain directly raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Gion smiled and nodded, looking at Hina she said,
"Hina, go to the training room on the Black Pearl and let us see how much strength you have gained through Rifan."
"Since the man wants to let the Marine and the World Government have no objection to accepting Moria."
"He shouldn't be stingy in giving you strength."
Gion said.
"Alright, it just so happens that Hina also wants to test her own strength."
Hina nodded slightly and said.
"In this case, why not let me be your opponent."
At this time, a familiar voice sounded beside them.
Everyone looked back, only to see Bonney walking over.
In her hand, she still holds Rifan's clothes that have been dried.
"I heard what you said earlier."
"Marine Hina, it seems that you have gained power from Rifan."
"As it happens, let me see what you learned from Rifan."
The corner of Bonney's mouth raised, and she looked provocatively at Gion, Ain and Hina in front of her.
Among the three, Gion was under anesthesia.
Ain's strength itself is not as good as her.
As for Hina, although she just heard Hina say that she has received power from Rifan.
But Bonney doesn't think Rifan will really give great power to Hina.
The so-called saying that the service life activates the power of the partner is nothing but Rifan's trick.
That's right, in Bonney's mind, Rifan is just using this trick to stabilize Marine.
At most, Rifan will only use the G virus strengthening potion on Hina.
Bonney thinks that her current strength can beat the three in front of her, and she doesn't like Marine herself.
Naturally, her tone of voice towards the three of them became a lot more arrogant.
"Since Miss Bonney is willing to spar with Hina, we of course won't object."
"Right, Hina?"
Gion smiled, turned her head and gave Hina a look.
Earlier, Gion felt that the moves used by Bonney were very similar to Ivankov who was caught and sent to Impel Down.
Now if it is possible to compete with Bonney, there will be another channel to determine whether Bonney has used Ivankov's technique.
Although even if Bonney really used Ivankov's technique, Gion could not believe that Rifan had an affair with the Revolutionary Army.
But she still wants to make sure that Bonney and Rifan behind Bonney really have mastered Ivankov's techniques.
If Bonney really used Ivankov's techniques.
This can at least prove that Rifan has seen Ivankov or someone who has learned Ivankov's techniques.
