Naval Headquarters, Office of the Marshal.
"Damn it!"
Sengoku slammed the den-den mushi's microphone on the desk, a vein popping out on his forehead from being too angry.
"Sengoku, the urgent task now is to send troops to support Hina."
"If Hina is caught again this time, Hina may not be able to come back safely."
In a corner of the office, Marine Chief Staff Officer Tsuru said solemnly.
After Hina's report, Tsuru and Sengoku have analyzed that Rifan is a man of his words.
As long as the other party fulfills the agreement, Rifan will also act according to the agreement.
The last time Hina was arrested, because Hina completed the agreement to take Rifan and others to East Blue, so Rifan let Hina and others go.
But this time, Rifan didn't necessarily ask for anything, so Tsuru felt that Rifan might really do something to Hina and other marines.
"I know, Tsuru, but the Marine Base closest to Hina is the 8th Branch of East Blue led by Nelson."
"But you also heard Hina's report just now, that guy Rifan may have defeated Nelson."
"Although Garp is still in East Blue, judging from the distance between them and the warship island, there is no way for them to reach the warship island in a short time."
Sengoku shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Tsuru also frowned, and at the same time her head started to run wildly, trying to figure out a way to help Hina.
"Sengoku, I remember you said earlier that Tyrant Kuma is also in East Blue, where is he now?"
"You know his ability. As long as he is not too far away from Warship Island, he can reach his destination in a short time."
Tsuru said.
"Kuma?"
Sengoku's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the den-den mushi and started dialing Kuma's number.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The waters near Warship Island.
"Plume Feather Threshold!"
Hina suddenly aimed at Rifan's position and threw a long black threshold.
However, in the face of such a blow, Rifan just touched the deck with his footsteps, used Marine Six Styles 'shave', and instantly came behind Hina.
"Really, Ms. Hina?"
"You should understand that you are not my opponent, right?"
"Is such a useless move really intentional?"
After Rifan finished speaking, Hina did a backspin kick towards Rifan's head.
However, Rifan just raised his right hand lightly, and grasped the kicked foot of Hina in his hand.
"Hina won't be caught without a fight!"
Hina fixed her eyes on Rifan, and did not pull back her leg that was held by Rifan. She directly raised her hands and stabbed at Rifan's abdomen.
However, it was such a blow that made a sound like a metal collision after hitting Rifan's body.
Rifan was not knocked into the air by the black threshold emanating from Hina's palm, but Hina herself was sent flying by the ever-extending black threshold in her palm.
"It seems that for being dishonest, Ms. Hina needs to be punished to a certain extent."
Rifan shook his head, and after dispelling the Armament Haki on his body for defense, he stepped on the deck and rushed towards Hina.
Seeing Rifan rushing towards her, Hina quickly crossed her hands, trying to defend herself against Rifan's attack.
"Kanpo Kenpo medicine— poisonous mist!"
Rifan swallowed the pack of medicine powder he was carrying with him, and then slammed a breath containing poisonous mist in the direction of Hina.
Hina's eyes widened, apparently not expecting Rifan to do this.
Before she could react, she was completely enveloped by the poisonous mist.
After Rifan finished all this, he didn't continue to attack. Instead, he stopped at the spot and looked at Hina who ran sideways from the poisonous fog with interest.
"Hina wasn't hurt?"
"Rifan, are you playing Hina?"
Hina didn't feel any pain in her body, she frowned and looked at Rifan.
"The poisonous mist is not an attack that directly acts on your body."
"The poisonous mist is a mist that has a strong corrosive effect on clothing."
"And the effect of this trick is to make the opponent fall into a shy state because of the damaged clothes, so that there is no way to deal with the enemy well."
"Hina, take a look at your clothes~"
"They're corroding now~"
Rifan raised the corner of his mouth, raised his finger and pointed at the clothes on Hina, and said with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Hina hurriedly lowered her head to look at her body.
Sure enough, she found that her clothes were being corroded at an extremely fast speed.
Even if she wanted to stop it in a panic, it only took a few seconds.
The clothes on her body have been corroded in all directions.
A lot of skin is exposed.
Even, she had to hold her suit and trousers with both hands, so as not to let them slip off her body.
"You bastard!"
Hina glared at Rifan viciously, but this time she did not attack again.
After all, if she moved casually, the clothes on her body would really slip off.
"It looks like you've calmed down."
"In this way, we can finally talk."
"Tell me, Miss Hina, how do you plan to get away from me this time and keep those subordinates you value?"
Rifan raised his finger and pointed to the sailors behind Hina who were stunned with the Conqueror's Haki, and said.
Hina pursed her lips, turned her head to look at the sailors around her, and frowned even tighter for a moment.
"Rifan, please make a condition."
"This time, how do you spare Hina's subordinates?"
Hina took a deep breath, pursed her lips and asked Rifan.
"Well... I don't need you to take me across the Calm Belt this time either."
"It stands to reason that you don't have anything I need here."
Rifan rested his chin with one hand, as if he was thinking.
When Hina heard this, she immediately became nervous.
"If Hina does that dance for you, can you let them go?"
"Oh, it seems that Ms. Hina has been practicing secretly, but I'm sorry, if it's just that, forget it."
"Then… if Hina gives you her body, it should be enough."
As if to prove her determination, Hina let go of her hands.
And her rose-colored suit fell on deck.
"Hehe, it's still the same bargaining chip as last time."
"Your subordinates should be really happy to have a boss like you."
"But if they know what you have done for them, they will probably feel guilty and want to commit suicide."
Rifan shook his head with a chuckle, and walked over to Hina, whose inner clothes were slightly potholed due to the poisonous mist.
"So, did you accept Hina's proposal?"
"After you ask for Hina, I hope you don't tell them about it…"
Resisting the shame in her heart, Hina looked at the sleeping sailors beside her and said.
"Hehe, compared to forcing you, I suddenly have other ideas.
"Go to my ship with me first, Miss Hina."
Rifan walked up to Hina and put his hands on her waist.
For this, Hina did not refuse either, and let Rifan lead her to fly in the direction of the Black Pearl.
In her opinion, it would be nice if her crew could wake up and sail away while Rifan was leaving.
The Black Pearl, cabin aisle.
"Lieutenant Colonel Hina, are you okay!?"
"Did Rifan do anything to you?"
Tashigi saw Hina in revealing clothes following behind Rifan, and ran over in surprise.
"It's you Tashigi, I'm glad you're fine."
"Rifan didn't do anything outrageous to Hina…for now."
"It's you, this man didn't do anything outrageous to you, right?"
Hina was slightly relieved to see Tashigi's appearance.
However, after thinking about Rifan's character traits, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Rifan is indeed unlikely to force women, but he is also a person who doesn't mind taking advantage of other.
Hina was able to recover from Rifan's hands and feet. She worried that if the shy Tashigi was treated unfriendly by Rifan, she might have psychological problems.
"No...no I'm fine."
Tashigi shook her head hastily, and said,
"Don't chat here, both of you."
"Nojiko, Robin, please take this Ms. Hina to the consultation room first."
"I'll be over in a moment."
Rifan looked at Nojiko behind Tashigi and said.
Nojiko and Robin nodded slightly, and led Hina and Tashigi towards the consultation room.
Rifan, on the other hand, followed Ayane to the warehouse and completed the harvest of Eric.
"Congratulations, you got a Devil Fruit again."
Ayane wiped off the blood belonging to Eric and Nelson on the tip of her blade, looked up and said to Rifan.
"Congratulations too, Ms. Ayane, you won a lot of battle points again."
"But according to the rules set by the two of us, you still owe me 3 Devil Fruits."
Rifan laughed.
"You don't need to remind me, I know."
"Compared to this, you should have other things to deal with so I'll leave first."
Ayane put the short sword into the scabbard, took the initiative to carry the bodies of Eric and Nelson and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, he shrugged.
After putting the sickle fruit into the inventory, he walked into the consultation room.
When Hina and others in the consulting room heard the sound of the door being pushed open, they immediately looked over.
"Rifan, just state your conditions directly, Hina doesn't want to wait too long. "
Sitting on the hospital bed, Hina stared straight at Rifan's eyes.
Perhaps it was because besides her and Tashigi, there were Robin, Nojiko, and Mikita in the consultation room. Hina, who thought that Rifan would not attack her in front of her partners, was not as nervous as before.
However, her idea has just come down.
Rifan asked Robin and Mikita to go to the deck to pick up Nami and Carina.
For a while, apart from Rifan, there were only Nojiko, Hina and Tashigi left in the consulting room.
All of a sudden, a faint worry began to hit Hina's heart.
"Hina, you said you were willing to sacrifice yourself for your subordinates, right?"
Rifan walked to the medical table, took out a stack of growth ointment, came to Hina, and said,
"T-that's r-right! Rifan, y-you... what do you want to do first?"
Hina swallowed, and asked nervously.
"It's nothing, I just think that since you have said so, you shouldn't mind if I try some ointment on you?"
Rifan smiled, and his eyes fell on Hina's remaining silk.
Hearing this, and noticing Rifan's gaze, Hina didn't understand what Rifan meant.
She even felt that the trial ointments Rifan said were all fake and just his excuse to ravage her body…
Although she was a little embarrassed in front of Tashigi and Nojiko.
But thinking of her subordinates, she couldn't take much care of them at this time.
Soon, Hina takes off the last of the satin under Tashigi's surprised gaze.
In this regard, Rifan was not polite, and did not let Nojiko do it, but began to apply the ointment on Hina himself.
"Rifan, you did the same thing to Tashigi, right?"
Hina insisted on keeping her eyes open and staring at Rifan, while enduring the strange feeling brought by the ointment and Rifan hand, she asked Rifan.
"Tashigi? Of course not. I asked Nojiko to do it for her."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Tashigi~"
Rifan shook his head and said.
Hina looked at Tashigi in disbelief, but Tashigi nodded to confirm what Rifan said.
"why?"
"You can obviously do something to Tashigi."
"But why didn't you do anything to her?"
"Could it be that you think Hina should be blamed by you?"
Hina resisted Rifan's hand movements, and gritted her teeth to express her puzzlement.
"Well, it's probably because Tashigi is so innocent, and sometimes looks like a child, which makes me a little bit reluctant."
"On the other hand, Miss Hina, you are mature enough and have the feeling of a strong woman, which more or less gave me the desire to conquer~"
Rifan smiled, and pinched Hina supple skin hard as the ointment grazed her skin.
The sudden pain made Hina moan unconsciously.
Then she realized that Tashigi was still on the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed seeing her staring at her with concern.
Tashigi wanted to help Hina, but she knew that she couldn't do anything at the moment.
On the contrary, she felt that if she spoke out, it might make Rifan more aggressive.
"Well, let's talk about business by the way, Miss Hina."
Hina was a little surprised by Rifan's suddenly serious tone, and couldn't help but look at Rifan in confusion.
"What do you want to talk about, Rifan?"
"Of course it is a question of the freedom of the two of you."
"Are you going to let Hina and Tashigi go?" Hina's eyes widened.
"Naturally, but I'm not letting you two go for nothing. If possible, I hope that Marines can exchange the two of you with Devil Fruit."
