Chapter 86: Transparent Attack Igniting The Battle! 

"Hmm, at least there is progress."

"Come here, I'll show you around."

"But after this battle is over, remember to change into a maid uniform."

"Don't look at me like that, I don't want you to become a maid immediately, I just want you to change into this outfit first."

"It's just a suit of clothes, it shouldn't matter."

"Anyway, what you are wearing now is not your clothes, is it?"

Rifan pointed at Ayane's casual clothes from Mikita and smiled.

"It's just...if you change into your clothes, that's fine."

Ayane pursed her lips, but finally nodded.

Hearing this, Rifan smiled even more.

First, she begged honestly, and then agreed to change into a maid uniform. In Rifan's opinion, as long as she follows this pace step by step, Ayane may be able to do some maid work in ten days.

Even when Ayane really became his exclusive slave one day, she would be able to bring her own identity relatively quickly.

"Come here, I'll take you there."

Rifan waved to Ayane and said aloud.

Ayane sighed and walked towards Rifan.

Maybe she was angry with Rifan's previous request, or maybe she was angry with herself for agreeing so easily, the blush on her face has surpassed any previous moment.

"Don't mind if I hold you."

Rifan smiled and did not wait for Ayane to answer.

He bent down, put his hands on Ayane's back, and hugged her like a princess.

Of course, Ayane is not Carina after all.

Rifan didn't tease Ayane like he did with Carina.

Rifan, can I go and have a look together?

Seeing that Rifan was about to bring Ayane, Tashigi who came to the deck first asked suddenly.

"You want to go there together, Tashigi, do you want to get some information from there?"

Rifan caught a glimpse of Tashigi who was hesitant to speak not far away, and asked.

"I, I want to use my eyes to confirm whether the treasure hunter is in collusion with the Marine, can... is it possible?"

Tashigi pursed her lips and said.

Rifan frowned slightly.

Theoretically speaking, if Carina is to fight with treasure hunters and others later on.

It is inconvenient for Tashigi to see.

Especially when Carina uses the power of the color fruit.

Although Rifan wants to show enough power to the Marines in order to get enough bounty.

But this display can be done through other methods.

For the time being, Rifan is not ready to show Marine that he can quickly make his partner stronger and grab other people's Devil Fruit.

If he really showed such power, maybe it wasn't just Marines who would send troops to trouble him.

Even the world government will send spies from the corresponding cp organization to find him.

At least, Rifan is not ready to show his means before gaining considerable power now.

"Can't you, Rifan?"

Tashigi noticed Rifan's expression and immediately asked anxiously.

"It's not that I can't, you saw it too, I don't have room for you."

"Besides, I have to fight over there.

"I don't have that much time to protect you."

Rifan shook his head and refused.

"I can fight too, Rifan!"

"Also, if you want, I can always fight for you from now on!"

Seeing that Rifan was about to leave, Tashigi stepped forward to grab Rifan's clothe.

Seeing this, Carina couldn't help sighing.

She understood that Tashigi wanted to talk to Rifan about her freedom.

"Hey, listening to what you mean, don't tell me you don't want to be a Marine, but want to be a pirate with me?"

Rifan raised his eyebrows and looked at Tashigi with interest.

"As long as Rifan can let Carina go, I can...

"rejected!"

"Wh—what?"

"I said I refuse, Tashigi, if you want to replace Carina as my partner, just give up."

"Why? Is it because I'm so earthy?"

"Earthy?!" Rifan glanced at the ashamed and angry Tashigi in puzzlement, and then at Ayane in front of him.

When his observation haki was observing the situation of the restaurant, he had captured the conversation between Tashigi and Ayane.

At that time, because he was only busy fighting with Nojiko, he didn't listen carefully to the conversation of these girls.

Recalling the situation just now, Rifan suddenly understood why Tashigi said that.

"You misunderstood, Tashigi, you are an innocent type of girl, if you dress up, you will definitely be lovely."

"Also, I believe in your body potential, and you will be very attractive in the future."

"As for why I rejected you...I don't intend to invite someone who has a heart of Marine as my partner."

Rifan shook his head and smiled.

Rifan, who has enough knowledge of the original work, naturally knows the sense of justice in Tashigi's heart.

Tashigi, who has such a sense of justice, is not suitable for Rifan's pirate group.

After all, if Rifan really fights with the Marine, he doesn't need to know which side she will be on.

"However, what you just said touched me a little bit."

"So I decided to fulfill your wish and take you there to have a look."

"But you need to obey my orders."

"You can only open your eyes when I tell you to open them, can you do it?"

Rifan looked into Tashigi's eyes and asked seriously.

"Of course, I would!"

Although Rifan failed to agree to her proposal to replace Carina, Tashigi did not give up in her heart.

But now she decided to focus on the connection between the treasure hunter and Commodore Nelson.

"After arriving at the opposite ship, you have to go wherever I tell you to go. You can do this, right?"

"Of course!"

"After this matter is over, you have to change into a maid uniform, you can do it right?"

"certainly!"

"Then can you wear black silk under the maid uniform?"

"Of course... wait, is this related to going to the treasure hunter?"

Tashigi suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly asked Rifan.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not, the important thing is that you agreed."

"Get ready Tashigi, I'll take you there."

Rifan laughed.

Although Tashigi blushed a little, seeing Rifan finally agreed, she didn't care about it, and hurried to Rifan's side.

She still had something to be sure of, anyway, she wanted to ask the treasure hunters if Nelson was going to do something to innocent people.

"That... how do I get there?"

Tashigi looked at Carina hanging on Rifan's back, then at Ayane who was held by Rifan's arms, and scratched her cheek hesitantly.

"Simple!"

Rifan smiled, turned Ayane in his arms, and clamped her directly under his right arm.

Then he raised his left hand and clamped Tashigi under his left arm.

After the preparations were complete, Rifan jumped and quickly flew towards the team of treasure hunters across the sea.

His speed was so fast that they flew a distance of nearly ten meters in a blink of an eye.

Only Nojiko, who was waving her hands, and Abis, who looked shocked, were left behind.

'Is this, Moonwalk from Marine Six Styles? '

'Although the sound was a little louder when it was cast.'

'But if it is used in the actions of ninjas, it can indeed help a lot.'

'If I stay by this guy side, will he teach me?'

There are also Observation Haki and Armament Haki, these powers don't seem to necessarily need to be obtained through copy space.

'As long as I master the method of training, I may be able to learn it like practicing ninjutsu.'

Ayane looked at Rifan's face that was close at hand, her eyes shone brightly.

But soon, she shook her head.

'Don't think about it, Ayane!'

'If only I could ask this guy to guide me to learn such a powerful skill as Moonwalk.'

'But if I ask, I don't know what this guy will ask in return.'

'Maybe it will also increase the amount of Devil Fruit that needs to be paid. '

'No. I need to rely on my own! '

Ayane threw out the thought of relying on Rifan that flashed through her mind.

Soon she stabilized her mind and turned her gaze to the distant sea.

As the distance drew closer, the treasure hunter's ships that were originally invisible to the naked eye began to clearly appear in front of her eyes.

Rifan smiled and glanced at Ayane, whose expression changed from erratic to finally returning to calm, and then said to Carina who was lying on his back:

"Carina, get ready."

"Later, we have to teach those treasure hunters who bullied you and Abis a 'precious' lesson."

Hearing what Rifan said, Carina also showed a sinister smile on her face.

"No problem, my captain."

Rifan originally planned to let Carina use the color fruit to make the group invisible so that they could sneak in secretly, but saw Tashigi under his arm.

He still gave up the idea.

However, he relies on the power of his outstanding Observation Haki+Moonwalk, and the Kilo-Kilo Devil Fruit that can flexibly control his body in the air.

He still managed to bring a group of people to the opponent ship without all the treasure hunters noticing.

At the moment, on the deck of the ship.

A man with a bare upper body, red hair, and a wild dress was holding a den-den mushi and frowning as he listened to the roar of the man opposite him.

"Mad Treasure! Don't forget what you said!"

"If you can't bring Abis back to me!"

"I will definitely use the power in my hands to offer rewards and arrest you and your subordinates!"

"At that time, don't think you can hunt for treasure freely in this sea!"

Hearing this, Mad Treasure, who was already defiant, was about to scold Nelson who was on the opposite side of the den-den mushi.

It's just that Nelson obviously didn't intend to continue communicating with him, and hung up the phone directly after speaking.

When Made Treasure heard the blind tone from the den-den mushi, veins popped out on his forehead.

His subordinates, who saw his expression, were so scared that they didn't dare to go forward.

They didn't even notice at the moment, at this time four people had already quietly landed on their ship.

And was watching them from the corner of the ship.

"Tashigi, you should have heard the call just now."

"Adding the sailors on this ship, I think you should be able to determine it."

Rifan, who was in a dormant state, put his hand on Tashigi's shoulder beside him and whispered.

Tashigi pursed her lips, and after seeing the situation in front of her, the hope in her heart was completely shattered.

All of a sudden, the whole person becomes negative.

Rifan shook his head, stretched out his other hand and patted Ayane's shoulder.

"Go ahead, since you want to give it a try, I'll leave it to you for the time being."

With Rifan's permission, Ayane nodded immediately, pulled out the short sword from her waist, and walked towards the enemy ahead.

To be on the safe side, she also used her talent 'invisibility'.

Because she have seen Ayane use the power of invisibility to fight Psycho P before, so Tashigi did not mistake Ayane for Psycho P's devil fruit ability when she saw Ayane's invisible body

…

"Boss, we still have no way to contact Brother Psycho P."

At this time, a subordinate of the treasure hunter group walked tremblingly to Mad Treasure's side.

"That guy, what is he doing!"

Mad Treasure frowned even tighter, looking at the looming island in the distance with extreme displeasure.

Psycho P's last message was to inform them that he was on that island.

"Get the ship closer to the island first, Treasure."

"That guy Psycho P must have encountered something on that island, so he delayed the contact."

Naomi Drunk, a sniper in the treasure hunter team, walked up to Mad Treasure with a bottle of wine.

The collie at the side immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Naomi's appearance.

When Treasure's attention was attracted by Naomi, he quickly stepped back.

However, before he took a few steps back, he felt something touch his shoulder.

"Who!?"

The collie grumbled, turned his head and looked behind him, only to find that there was no one behind him.

Just when he was wondering, he felt his head was hit by a heavy punch.

The powerful force directly caused his body to fly into the air, flew past Mad Treasure who was talking to Naomi and slammed heavily on the pole of the distant ship.

"Who?!"

Mad Treasure used the chain fruit ability to call out two chains from both hands, and Naomi immediately bent her bow and put an arrow in the direction of the sound.

When the other treasure hunters heard Mad Treasure's voice, they also quickly raised their weapons.

But soon, they began to suffer from invisible attacks, or were bleeding, or were knocked out by powerful forces.

"The ability to be invisible?! Damn it, Psycho P, did you bastard betray me?!"

Mad Treasure yelled angrily.
