Chapter 348: Hina Is Confused! 

['Green Pheasant' Makoto Itou: What's going on?! How did Rifan achieve his first achievement again, how did that guy invite a new partner again? Otoshi, Rifan shouldn't have robbed your destiny crew again, right? ?]

['Eagle' Ethan: Otoshi, if Rifan really stole your Destiny crew, why not tell me what job level this 'Hunter' is, how about it?]

['Panda' Ray: I don't know why, I always feel that this Otoshi is a bit pitiful. When Rifan accepts a new crew, people will subconsciously think that it is the Destiny crew who should belong to the pirate group that Otoshi belongs to. ]

['Green Pheasant' Otoshi: Damn, can't you bastards think of something good for me? And you, Itou, Rifan should still be in Moria's territory, the partner he accepted, shouldn't you have some impression?]

['Green Pheasant' Makoto Itou: There are so many people in that place, and I don't know everyone's existence. But looking at you, this new 'hunter' probably doesn't belong to your destiny crew. ]

['Green Pheasant' Otoshi: Of course! Anyway, I can't be so unlucky. Aren't Honoka, Marie Rose, and Kasumi by Rifan's side, they must know something. ]

['Kangaroo' Helena: No matter what, congratulations to Mr Rifan for getting a new partner. ]

['Kangaroo' Marie Rose: That guy, isn't he sleeping? How could he accept a partner when he is sleeping? Could it be that he left the Black Pearl?]

['Green Pheasant' Kasumi: Marie, it's better not to reveal Rifan's whereabouts, otherwise, he may cause trouble for you if he saw it. ]

['Kangaroo' Marie Rose: Hump, I'm not afraid. ]

['Eagle' Tina: So, even Marie Rose and the others don't know who Rifan's partner is. ]

['Camel' Huuli: They are with Rifan now, and they should know soon. However, Rifan is really developing very fast...]

['Camel' Yuza: Are you worried that Rifan develops too fast, and you will lose in the duel with him, Miss Huuli?]

['Camel' Huuli: Hmph! How could I possibly lose, just wait, when the next time the reincarnator ranking list comes out, I will definitely surpass that guy. ]

['Kangaroo' Marie Rose: That's right, how could it be possible to admit defeat to that man, he is just lucky, I will surpass him sooner or later!]

['Kangaroo' Helena: Little Marie, it's good to be ambitious, but when you're around Rifan, you should restrain your temper a little bit. ]

Black Pearl.

concert hall.

Brook is getting used to the various instruments on stage.

In the audience are Nami, Robin and others who happened to be free and came here to watch.

In addition, Kasumi, Honoka and Marie Rose are also in the corner of the concert hall.

At the moment, Marie Rose's attention is no longer on Brook's performance.

Because of the reminder of the copy space, she focused on the reincarnation exchange group.

"Miss Helena is really…, why do she have to ask me to curry favor with that man Rifan?"

Marie Rose looked at Helena's latest message, pouted and said.

"Marie, you'd better listen to Miss Helena."

"In the communication group, Rifan can also see it."

"At this time, he might already be thinking about how to bully you."

Kasumi walked up behind Honoka and Marie Rose, and spoke.

"He dares!"

Marie Rose replied subconsciously.

But thinking of Rifan's performance when facing her earlier.

Marie Rose's tone couldn't help becoming a little unconfident again.

Having said that, she quickly shook her head, letting the thought of being afraid of Rifan fly out of her mind.

"Kasumi, did you see Rifan just now?"

"Did that guy really go to the island to find someone to join his pirate group?"

Marie Rose looked at Kasumi and asked curiously.

"About this point, I am also very puzzled."

"That man and I have walked around the island once."

"Basically everyone who can meet has already met."

"It stands to reason that if Rifan meets someone who he is interested and wants to recruit."

"As early as before, he or she has already been recruited."

 Kasumi frowned and said doubtfully.

"Could it...could it be that Moria?"

"Didn't Master Rifan say that he wanted to develop Moria as his partner?"

Honoka raised her hand and said softly.

"That fat guy? He shouldn't have any predestined relationship with 'Hunter', right?"

"However... besides him, there should be no one else right?"

"Is it the ghost with the twin tails?"

Marie Rose frowned and said.

The ghost in her mouth is naturally Perona.

However, Rifan clearly said before that he intends to make Perona his crew member as a patrolman, and it shouldn't be a 'hunter'.

"Probably not Moria and the others."

"I just came from the cell where Moria and his party were held."

"Perona was also anxiously waiting for Rifan to appear at that place."

"The person Rifan recruited should be someone else."

Kasumi rested her chin with one hand and said softly.

Even if it is her, facing the number one reincarnator, especially when the reincarnator is right beside her.

She will also be curious about who Rifan has taken.

"Why don't we go to his room and take a look?"

Marie Rose stretched out her index finger and suggested.

"Forget it, if Rifan is interested, he will let the 12th member of the Black Pearl Pirates appear in front of us."

"If he doesn't have this plan, our excessive exploration will only be counterproductive."

Kasumi shook her head and said persuasively.

However, her persuasion did not work.

By the time she finished speaking, Marie Rose had already dragged the equally curious Honoka towards the entrance of the concert hall.

"This girl… didn't she know that curiosity can kill a cat."

Kasumi sighed. 

Having said that, as an acquaintance, she still chose to follow the two.

the other side.

Rifan's bedroom.

'Awakening Scroll for Primary Armament Haki?'

'Forget it, since it was obtained from you, let it be handed over to you. "

After Rifan glanced at the extra power-up items in his inventory, he looked at Hina who was sleeping soundly.

In Rifan's opinion, before the Summit War is about to start, the armament haki is more suitable for Hina than the observation haki.

After all, although observation haki can effectively help Hina avoid more dangers, 

But the armament haki can at least strengthen her defense, because it can block damage for her. 

Therefore, Rifan decided to use it on Hina.

After all, she is not likely to be able to stay on the Black Pearl for a long time like other crew members of the Black Pearl Pirates.

Therefore, Rifan can only strengthen her while she is still around.

However, Rifan didn't intend to use the 'Primary Armament Haki Awakening Scroll' directly on Hina.

Before using this power-up item on her, Rifan still intends to put on a show, let Hina practice for a while, and then use it on her...

In this way, it can also effectively prevent the Marine from being too afraid of his abilities.

At this moment, the prompt sound of copy space sounded on the way.

[Panda Rifan, from your previous achievement 'The first reincarnator who raised his physical points to 100,000 points' Every crew member of the Black Pearl Pirates will get Germa 66 exoskeleton; now start for Hina distributes her 'Germa 66 Exoskeleton'!]

With a cue of copy space, the Pirate tattoo on the back of Hina's forearm began to emit scorching hot spots.

Because the burning sensation brought by the enhanced energy was too strong, Hina, who was still dreaming, woke up instantly and looked at her arm.

"So hot! Rifan, what is this?!"

Hina frowned beautifully, looked puzzled at the tattoo on the back of her forearm, and then looked at Rifan.

"Have you forgotten, Hina?"

"This is what I call the mark of shared fruit."

"Don't move, just be patient for now…"

Rifan held Hina's arm with his right hand and gave her a big smile.

[The strengthening has been completed, and the personal attributes of 'Hunter' Hina have been refreshed, please check it yourself. ]

[Pirates: Black Pearl Pirates (Level 3)]

[Name: Hina]

[Age: 32 years old]

[Crew number: 12]

[Position: Hunter]

[Physique: 20000]

[Physical level: B level]

[Devil Fruit: Cage-Cage Fruit]

[Kendo Skill: None]

[Other skills: Germa 66 exoskeleton]

[Special Ability: None]

[props: none]

'Not bad, the virus strengthening potion and the Germa 65 exoskeleton directly pushed Hina's physical points to two levels.

'The level of physical fitness has also reached the B-level state.'

'Afterwards, she will receive a period of training, and with the Armament Haki scroll, Hina's strength should be at the level of Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral. '

'Speaking of which, her loyalty is as high as 66 points.'

'2 times higher than expected!'

'Is this really in line with the old saying, love grows with time?'

Rifan withdrew his hand holding Hina's forearm, rubbed his chin and thought in his heart.

"This... this power is so strong!"

"My Physical strength seems to be twice as strong as before."

"Rifan, is this the power of your Devil Fruit?!"

"Wait, let me become so powerful, did you consume a lot of lifespan?!"

After feeling her own strength for a while, Hina was surprised at first, but soon turned to worry.

There is joy in gaining power.

But Hina is also worried that Rifan will lose too much vitality by allowing herself to gain power.

"Don't worry, I won't die with this little strength."

Rifan waved his hand and said in an extremely generous tone.

"Yes, but such a powerful strength..."

"It's impossible to just spend a few days, a few months of life in exchange for it?"

"Could it be that you lost years, decades of life for Hina?"

Hina pursed her lips, still a little worried.

"Hahaha, what you are saying is too exaggerated."

"However, seeing how worried you are about me."

"I suddenly felt it was all worth it."

Rifan put his hand on the side of Hina's face, and spoke to her with extremely gentle words.
