Chapter 78

The previously rebellious Tatsumaki was now silent, seemingly enjoying her time sitting on Vermillion's shoulder.

'Hmm, this feeling isn't too bad either.' Looking at Vermillion below, Tatsumaki whispered.

"Oh? I heard that!"

Dio suddenly appeared next to Tatsumaki with an annoying expression.

"Bastard, what did you hear?!" Tatsumaki turned to Dio angrily.

"Well, let me think about it first..." Dio stroked his chin, pretending to think.

"You seem to be saying that you like Boss treating you like this." Dio smiled widely, obviously wanting to tease this Loli.

"What are you talking about, I never said that!" Tatsuki immediately retorted.

"Hehe, if I can hear it, do you think Boss can't hear it too?" Dio laughed exaggeratedly.

"Even if you whisper quietly, you think no one here can hear it? Hahaha!"

"Maybe only Nico Robin who can't hear it." Dio paused for a moment.

Hearing Dio's words, Tatsumaki immediately blushed while looking at Vermillion.

As if not hearing Dio and Tatsumaki's conversation, Vermillion continued walking towards the ship's deck.

Seeing Vermillion's behavior, Tatsumaki naturally knew what Dio said was true.

Tatsumaki's face became redder, and her head became hotter; in the end, Tatsumaki could only look down while putting her hands on Vermillion's head.

In contrast to the cheerful atmosphere of Drake's Pirates, the atmosphere of Marijoa, where the Five Elders gathered, became gloomy.

In addition to the Five Elders present, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was in that luxurious room too.

"Sengoku, do you know why we called you here?" Holding a sword, one of the Five Elders looked at Sengoku with a serious face.

"Yes, I found out on the way here. Could it be about Saint Rosward?" Sengoku replied with a sullen tone.

"Yes."

The long-whiskered Elder continued, "Saint Rosward's Den-Den Mushi has informed us about the Drake Pirates attack."

"It is now certain that Saint Rosward has been killed by them. And the one who killed him is none other than Vermillion."

"Besides that... Vermillion also admitted that the Saint who went to East blue was killed by their Pirates as well, just as we suspected." The blond-haired youngest Elder said.

"Hmph, Rosward thinks that David will be able to capture the Drake Pirates. Many people think that David has the strength of an Admiral, in fact he is only stronger than a Vice Admiral."

"If David can catch them, then Garp and Kizaru have finished the Drake Pirates long ago." Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Even so, Rosward is still one of the high-status World Nobles. And we have found out who the murderer is, so we cannot let them go." The long-bearded Elder said.

"This time, no matter what, we must get rid of the Drake Pirates."

"Marine must address this issue immediately, and we will send more assistance to you."

"Understood, I will organize enough combat troops to kill the Drake Pirates."

Sengoku has always been wary of the Drake Pirates.

In his mind, the Drake Pirates were powerful. The reason for their attack on World Noble was their dislike for the World Government.

If the pirates are not eliminated soon, the Blueplanet group will pose a major challenge in the future.

"I will leave this matter to you. Now go." The long-bearded Elder nodded.

"Okay, I'll be going." After that, Sengoku turned to leave the room.

"Pirates... I will destroy you one by one." Sengoku said silently.

"Dio, you bastard, how dare you laugh at me all the time!" Tatsumaki, who had descended from Vermillion's shoulder, flew towards Dio with a fierce look.

"Oh? Do you want to duel with me?" Seeing the energy that enveloped Tatsumaki's body, Dio became even more interested.

"Hmm, better not. Boss seems to love you a lot, and I don't want him to lock me up for fighting with you."

"Goodbye." Picking up the book, Dio walked away, shaking his head.

Tatsumaki, who was flying, saw the shadow of someone approaching from behind. When she turned her head, she was surprised by the cold glass pressed against her cheek.

"Cold!" Tatsumaki was slightly startled.

"Okay, Tatsumaki, drink your juice and leave Dio alone." Vermillion offered the Loli a glass of cold juice.

"Dio, you too, don't always tease Tatsumaki."

Dio just nodded with a smile.

"Hmph! No way, this time I'll teach him a lesson!" Tatsumaki crossed her arms while looking sullen.

"Please?" Vermillion pleaded while holding both of Tatsumaki's hands.

Looking into Vermillion's eyes, Tatsumaki's heart beat faster. In the end, she agrees not to fight with Dio.

Vermillion smiled as he handed the juice to Tatsumaki.

"By the way, earlier I saw a large meteorite land in the distance, it must have been you who pulled it down." While taking a sip of her favorite juice, Tatsumaki asked.

"Are there strong people protecting that World Noble? Is it necessary to pull such a large meteorite to fight them?"

"No, I pulled that meteorite not to fight the World noble people, but someone else."

"Incidentally, after I killed that World Nobel, there was another person who attacked me with the Meteorite, so I pulled a bigger meteorite on him."

"Remembering the old man's surprise, I felt like chuckling." Vermillion said.

"Unexpectedly, besides me and you, there is actually someone in this world who can attract meteorites as well. Interesting." Tatsumaki said in a curious tone.
