[Tl/n: It's my birthday today so five chapters for you guys~]
"Rifan?!"
"What is this guy trying to do?!" Makoto Itou frowned upon seeing Rifan's message.
Thinking that his plan might be foiled by Rifan, he quickly left a message in the reincarnator exchange group.
['Green Pheasant' Makoto Itou: Rifan, why do you say that? Honoka and Marie Rose are really on my ship!]
['Panda' Rifan: You know yourself whether they are on your ship or not, you can lie to other people, but don't think you can lie to me.]
['Kangaroo' Helena: Mr. Rifan, do you know something?]
['Green Pheasant' Ayane: Could it be that you caught Honoka and Marie Rose, Rifan? Could it be that you want to do something excessive to them?]
['Panda' Rifan: Ayane, you really make me sad when you say that, we are old acquaintances, do you think I will force women?]
['Green Pheasant' Ayane: Indeed, you will not do too much. But I know you like to take advantage of pretty girls.]
['Kangaroo' Helena: Mr. Rifan, did Honoka and Marie Rose really meet you?]
['Panda' Rifan: Don't listen to Ayane's nonsense, I haven't met any of Honoka and Marie Rose.]
['Green Pheasant' Makoto Itou: Rifan, since you haven't met Honoka and the others, why are you so sure that I didn't catch Honoka and Marie Rose? Ms. Helena, I think it's better for you to make a contract with me, otherwise I don't mind touching Marie Rose and Honoka. To be honest, Honoka and Marie Rose are very attractive to me.]
After Makoto Itou saw Rifan's message, he felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
In order to convince Helena to enter into a slavery contract with him, he didn't care about offending Rifan with his words.
In his opinion, even if he offends Rifan, he may not be able to meet Rifan in the vast sea. Moreover, he had no respect for Rifan.
If there was a chance, he would be willing to kill Rifan and take away his companions, especially the beautiful crew members of the Black Pearl Pirates!
However, Makoto Itou didn't expect that his anxious tone would make Helena suspicious of him.
['Panda' Rifan: I just guessed who they met through their messages in the reincarnator exchange group. It is normal to lose consciousness after being bumped into by that guy. Helena, it doesn't make much sense for you to sign a slavery contract with Makoto Itou. If you are really anxious to make a contract with someone, you might as well make a contract with me. Maybe, I will have a chance to help Honoka and Marie Rose.]
When Helena saw Rifan's message, she couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke her forehead.
'According to Rifan, he seems to have a chance to get in touch with Honoka and Marie Rose? Rifan should be heading straight for the other Shichibukai by now. That is to say, is it possible that Honoka and Marie encountered a Shichibukai? If this is the case, even if Marie Rose and Honoka hadn't met Makoto Itou, they would still be in a bad situation!
Thinking of this, Helena's brows not only didn't relax because of Rifan's explanation, but she frowned even tighter.
['Kangaroo' Helena: Mr. Rifan, can you tell me who the enemies Honoka and Marie might encounter?]
['Panda' Rifan: Sorry, I don't plan to say this.]
Rifan understood that if Honoka and Marie Rose's encounter with Moria was revealed in the reincarnator community, it wouldn't help them. On the contrary, it might make Itou aware of the potential threat and choose to escape from the Devil's Triangle Sea. Therefore, he felt that it was completely unnecessary to disclose this information. Even if Helena knew, she wouldn't be able to help Marie Rose and Honoka.
['Kangaroo' Helena: Is that so... Then, can Mr. Rifan tell me, are Marie and Honoka safe now?]
['Panda' Rifan: I can't guarantee this. The people who attacked Honoka and Marie Rose may not harm them unnecessarily after taking away their shadows. But I heard that there is a lecherous cadre beside him, and that guy really likes young and beautiful girls. If Honoka and Marie Rose were to encounter him, the situation might not be good.]
['Green Pheasant' Makoto Itou: What?! Someone wants to harm Honoka and Marie Rose? Damn, I won't allow it!]
['Green Pheasant' Ayane: So, you really didn't catch Honoka and Marie Rose, Itou! Rifan, how did you know this?]
['Kangaroo' Helena: Shadow… I see, Mr. Rifan judged who they met through Marie's last message before losing contact. It seems that at your level, Mr. Rifan, you can access a lot of information that an ordinary reincarnator can't.]
['Eagle' Ethan: Shadow… I probably know who Honoka and Marie Rose met.]
['Panda' Rifan: It seems that Blackbeard Teach told you a lot, Ethan.]
['Eagle' Ethan: The two of us are on the same side, Rifan! The Marines have also told you a lot.]
['Green Pheasant' Makoto Itou: Ethan, do you know who took Honoka and Marie Rose? Can you tell me? I must rescue them before that pervert gets to them!]
['Eagle' Ethan: Forget it.]
Ethan chose not to reveal what he knew. In his view, Itou was also a competitor. If possible, he would also like to see Makoto Itou meet his end at the hands of Moria.
['Kangaroo' Helena: Mr. Rifan, if I ask you, can you help Honoka and Marie?]
['Panda' Rifan: Well, it depends on the situation. But if you want me to work for you, you'll have to pay, accordingly.]
['Green Pheasant' Ayane: You're still the same, you won't let go of any opportunity to gain benefits, Rifan!]
['Panda' Rifan: Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Ayane. I remember you still owe me a Devil Fruit. When do you plan to repay me?]
['Green Pheasant' Ayane: I can repay you a Devil Fruit now! Rifan, please inform your crew that I am going to approach your ship, and I hope you can ensure that your crew won't treat us as enemies.]
['Panda' Rifan: It seems that you have seen my new ship, so I have to give you a warm welcome~]
After Rifan left a message, he immediately activated his powerful Observation Haki, sensing his surroundings in all directions. Soon, he felt a familiar aura in the sea area a few kilometers away from their ship.
"It's really Ayane, but why did she return to the Buggy Pirates?" Rifan rubbed his chin and muttered.
"Ayane?"
"Captain Rifan, is Ayane coming back?" Nojiko's excited voice suddenly reached Rifan's ears.
"Nojiko, you're awake."
"You can rest for a while first; you used up a lot of energy earlier, didn't you?" Rifan said quickly.
"No, Captain Rifan."
"Since we've met Miss Ayane again, then I have to record her body data."
"After all, before she left the Black Pearl Pirates."
"I didn't have the chance to get the Clone-Clone Fruit and record Miss Ayane's body data yet."
"Captain Rifan, don't you want to experience the taste of Miss Ayane's body?" Nojiko teased, drawing circles on Rifan's chest with her fingers, putting her head close to his ear, and exhaling gently.
"If you put it that way, Nojiko, I have no reason to refuse," Rifan said with a grin.
"In that case, let's get out of here," Nojiko suggested with a seductive smile.
Nojiko smiled and raised her hand to pat her own face to transform into Kalifa's appearance. Then she used the Bubble-Bubble Fruit to clean up the sweat and odours on both of them.
After making all the preparations, Rifan and Nojiko left her quarters and walked towards the deck of the Black Pearl.
"Ayane big sister, are you sure we want to go there?"
"Yes, big sister Ayane! That's the Black Pearl Pirates, and their captain's reward is 1 billion!"
"If we go there like this, what if we get killed by them?"
The members of the Buggy Pirates gathered together, looked worriedly at Ayane, who was standing at the bow, and said.
"Yes, Ayane."
"The people on the Black Pearl Pirates are dangerous people."
"Are you sure their captain won't do anything to us just because he knows you?"
Buggy also came out from the crowd, looked at Ayane solemnly, and asked.
Although the Buggy Pirates were suppressed by Smoker and Garp when they were in LogueTown, they had a chance to escape with their men when Smoker and Garp left.
Afterward, they met Ayane again, who had left Rifan.
Due to her personal attributes, Ayane belongs to the crew of the Buggy Pirates, so she returned to their pirate ship.
"Relax, Captain Buggy."
"If you were the only ones going there alone, you would definitely be preyed upon by Rifan groups."
"But with me here, I won't let him attack you."
"And don't forget, captain, we are being pursued by Marine's guerrillas."
"If we continue to sail freely on the sea like this, maybe we will still encounter them."
"If we're unlucky, we'll run into the Black Arm Zephyr you mentioned."
"If we can meet Rifan, even if Zephyr does catch up to us, we can rely on Rifan's strength to resist him and the Marine's guerrillas."
"Captain Buggy, under the circumstances, do you still think my proposal is not good?"
Ayane turned around and said to Buggy.
"This..." Buggy scratched the back of his head.
The Black Pearl Pirates were ahead, and the Marine guerrillas, led by the former Marine Admiral Zephyr, were behind. Thinking of the horror of Zephyr he had seen before, Buggy's body trembled violently.
"Then Ayane."
"Just do what you say."
Buggy waved his hand, looked at the members of the Buggy Pirates behind him, and said.
At this time, Buggy didn't know that the leader of the Marine guerrillas chasing them was not Zephyr, but Zephyr's subordinate, Rear Admiral Shuzo. The Marine guerrillas led by Shuzo did not continue to pursue the Buggy Pirates at this moment. Because they had already been attracted by Gasparde, who was once a Marine but had robbed a Marine warship and became a pirate.
Similarly, Ayane had no idea that her sister, Kasumi, was also among Gasparde's pirate crew.
As Ayane gazed ahead, her vision was completely occupied by the Black Pearl Pirates. Little did she know that they would meet again so soon.
'I can finally give this to him.'
Ayane took out the 'sound wave fruit' she had obtained by chance from her bosom, thinking to herself.
