"So, you are not actually a member of the Black Pearl Pirates?"
Charlotte Smoothie raised her eyebrows, and looked at Ada Wong, who was smiling and extremely calm, with interest.
"That's right! My former pirate group is destroyed."
"At that time, I happened to meet the Black Pearl Pirates, so I acted with Rifan for the time being."
"At that time, the Black Pearl Pirates and I happened to encounter Marine, and fought with Marine, Shiki, and Crocodile."
"Marine seems to have mistook me part of the Black Pearl Pirates because I happened to be acting with Rifan and his partners at the time, and issued a reward order."
"However, I think with my departure, Marine should update my reward order."
Ada nodded slightly, smiling at Smoothie who invited her to board their ship.
Although she was surprised to meet Smoothie and the others.
But she didn't feel so panicked.
Indeed, ever since she departed from Rifan, she had already formulated her intentions to join the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, and act as a spy for Rifan within this powerful faction!
Spy work is also her job.
In this regard, she has considerable confidence.
As for whether Smoothie is willing to take her to the Big Mom pirate group, Ada also has considerable confidence.
Despite not having been with Rifan for an extended period, the points gained from eliminating Crocodile, Shiki, and others, along with her growing power, even though not on par with Smoothie, have granted her the capability to navigate and operate in the treacherous waters of the New World.
With a few well-chosen words, Ada is confident that she can persuade Smoothie to bring her back to Totto Land.
"Really, that's really a pity."
"I thought when I found you, Rifan might not be far away."
"Now it seems that we still have to spend some time to find Rifan."
Smoothie shook her head and said with a little regret.
"Are you looking for Rifan?"
"That's right, my mother plans to invite Rifan to go to Totto Land to marry me. I really want to meet him."
"I see! As for the possible location of Rifan and his group, I do have some news."
Before Ada bid farewell to Rifan, the two had already communicated about the situation of the Big Mom pirates.
At that time, Rifan once said that if Ada met someone from the Big Mom pirates, she could use him to win the favour of the Big Mom pirates.
Both Rifan and Ada already know through Momoka that the Big Mom pirates are looking for Rifan.
As long as they make good use of this, it will not be difficult for Ada to become a member of the Big Mom pirate group.
Of course, Rifan asked Ada to bring the Big Mom pirates to him, not because he would leave with the Big Mom pirates.
Instead, he might give the Big Mom pirates a good beating.
Then said not to kill them for Ada's sake.
In this way, members of the Big Mom pirate group may trust Ada more.
At that time, there will be more possibilities for Ada to get a higher position in Big Mom pirate group.
"Oh? Do you know where he is?"
"That's right, after all, I've only been separated from the Black Pearl Pirates! I can take you there, but can you give me a chance to join the Big Mom pirates?"
"You want to join the Big Mom pirates? I'm curious, why do you want to join the Big Mom pirates?"
"Because, Big Mom is one of the Four Emperors, and the only woman in the Four Emperors, I am very yearning for such a powerful woman."
"Looking for a female captain, so that's why you didn't join Rifan's Black Pearl Pirates, Ada?"
"Hehe, that man is very interesting, and I have a good time with him. But that man wants to be Shichibukai, which is not what I want."
Ada shook her head and said with regret.
Of course, Rifan and Ada had already discussed these rhetoric.
"Rifan intends to become Shichibukai?"
"As far as I know, the Shichibukai positions are currently all filled."
Smoothie raised her eyebrows, more curious about what Ada said.
"But the truth is, the Marines and the World Government do have intentions to appoint Rifan as a Shichibukai."
"If that's the case."
"Wait until Rifan ousts an existing Shichibukai."
"Then he'll become the new Shichibukai."
"At that point, ma'am, your chances of inviting Rifan to accompany you to Totto Land might decrease."
With neither humility nor arrogance, Ada replied to Smoothie with a smile on her face.
"Replacing a current Shichibukai, now that's an intriguing proposition."
Smoothie nodded slightly, her eyes fixed on Ada.
If it was before, she might have used her Devil Fruit ability on Ada to press Ada.
But since Ada's reward order once belonged to the Black Pearl Pirates, Smoothie feels that even if the woman in front of her parted ways with Rifan, she should have a lot of ties to Rifan.
Under such circumstances, in order to successfully invite Rifan in the future, she naturally did not intend to do anything to Ada.
"You want to join the Big Mom pirates right?"
"Okay! But since you know it's the Four Emperors Pirates. "
"Then you should also know that we will not allow the weak to join our group."
"Since you want to join our pirate group, then show your strength."
"If you are strong enough, I will promise you to take you back to Totto Land."
"If you are not strong enough, you just need to take me to where Rifan is and I'll let you leave safely."
After thinking for a while, Smoothie said to Ada with a smile on her face.
"It's natural and I'm happy to be put to the test."
"So, is my opponent you, Ms. Smoothie?"
Ada nodded slightly, and stroked her right thigh with her right hand.
The powerful pistol formed by using the talent "weapon making" came between her hands.
Smoothie shook her head, then turned to look at Garrett behind her.
"Garret, it's up to you to test this woman."
As one of the four sweet commanders, Smoothie has her own pride.
And Ada is just a pirate who offered a bounty of 20 million Berry in the first half of the New World, so she doesn't bother to test Ada herself.
"I understand, Sister Smoothie."
Charlotte Garrett, the minister of butter of the Big Mom pirates and also a devil fruit user of butter ability, stood up decisively when she heard Smoothie's words.
"Go ahead, Ada, or you won't have a chance to make a move."
Garrett looked at Ada coldly.
Like Smoothie, she didn't pay attention to Ada who offered a reward of 20 million Berry.
"In that case, I'll attack."
Ada smiled slightly, and stomped on the deck with both feet.
Swish!
Ada's figure turned into an afterimage, and quickly swept towards Garrett.
"what?!"
Smoothie glanced at Ada in surprise, "I never thought that she could display such speed."
"Interesting, it seems that Marine didn't give a good evaluation of the bounty this woman should have."
The corner of Smoothie's mouth arched, suddenly becoming interested in the battle between Ada and Garrett.
Especially when she saw that Ada used the gorgeous gun fighting technique and the Armament Haki armed on her slender legs when she officially fought against Garret.
"It's not just the armament haki, but also her use of observation haki is also good."
"Hehe, it seems that this time I came out and picked up a nice woman."
Smoothie raised her eyebrows, and watch with interest.
More than ten minutes later, Garret put her hands on the ground, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"I lost?"
Garret muttered to herself, and looked up at Ada who was walking towards her.
"No, we are tied, and my physical strength is no longer enough for me to fight."
Ada wiped the sweat from her forehead, and stretched out her hand to Garrett with a kind face.
Garrett frowned, raised her hand and patted Ada's hand away.
Ada didn't care about this, and the smile on her face remained the same.
She turned around, looked at Smoothie, and said with a smile:
"Miss Smoothie, am I qualified now?"
"Not bad! You are better than I imagined, I agree to take you back to Totto Land, but you have to take me to find Rifan first."
"This is natural! That man should be still in the capital of water 7 now."
"The Capital of Water 7? It's exactly as I imagined."
"Rifan will build a new ship in the capital of water 7, and we will have plenty of time to go there."
"So that's the case, it's easier to handle. Speaking of which, Ada, since you have known Rifan for a while, can you tell me about his situation? I'm quite curious about him."
"Naturally! That man Rifan, I have a lot to say."
When Ada heard Smoothie mentioning her man, she marvelled at the charm of Rifan, but also decided to keep the relationship between her, Robin and others and Rifan a secret for the time being.
Lest Smoothie be provoked into doing something irreversible.
Smoothie waved to the others, and gave the order to continue sailing.
And she took Ada to the cabin, intending to learn more about Rifan.
At the same time, Ada silently opened the panel of the reincarnator exchange group, and sent a message to Rifan that only two people could understand.
['Panda' Ada Wong: Contact has been successfully launched!]
The capital of water 7.
Blueno's Tavern!
'Has Ada managed to get in touch with the Big Mom pirates? '
'And according to the information provided by Momoka, Ada should have come into contact with Smoothie.'
'It seems that we are ready to welcome them.'
'However, Smoothie, if possible, I want Nojiko to copy her body data.'
'Women from the long-leg family should have a different taste. '
Thinking of this, Rifan couldn't help looking at Nojiko who had recovered her original appearance and was leaning on his side.
When Nojiko was swept over by Rifan's strange gaze, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Knowing Rifan well, she immediately understood that Rifan was planning some kind of bad idea.
However, she who loved Rifan deeply did not show any dissatisfaction.
Instead, she opened her arms and hugged Rifan.
"Captain Rifan, I love you."
Nojiko whispered in Rifan's ear.
"I love you too, Nojiko."
"Take a good rest, and I'll take you to the capital of water 7 for a stroll later."
Rifan looked at Nojiko's tired look, and dismissed the idea of making her look like Ada.
Nojiko smiled sweetly when she heard Rifan's words.
She didn't leave Rifan's arms, just leaned against Rifan and closed her eyes.
Soon, Nojiko fell into her sweet dream.
Rifan touched Nojiko's face, and adjusted the position to be closer to Robin, who had fallen asleep due to excessive use of Flower-Flower Fruit ability.
After holding her in his arms, he also closed his eyes and planned to take a lunch break.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Holy land, an institution of the World Government.
"Damn it, are you really going to make that bastard a Shichibukai?!"
Spandine slammed his fists on the desk, staring fixedly at the news about Rifan and Gion defeating Shiki in the newspaper in front of him.
From his point of view, he naturally understands the purpose of World Government's announcement of such news at this moment.
Obviously, the above is preparing so when Rifan defeat other Shichibukai, he can take his place.
Rifan has the strength to compete with Shiki, so the other Shichibukai losing to Rifan will not cause much harm to the deterrence of the entire Shichibukai.
After all, Shiki was the legendary pirate of the last era.
And after that, the news that Rifan became a Shichibukai officially spread.
The deterrence of the entire Shichibukai will once again reach a higher level.
Although the Five Elders is in favour of Rifan becoming Shichibukai, and even plans to give the green light all the wayBut Spandine, who had lost his son, didn't think much of it.
"Damn bastard, you obviously have the ability to save my son!"
"But he didn't take action, but saved a useless woman names Kalifa!"
"Want to be a Shichibukai? I will never let you, Rifan!"
Spandine roared viciously.
