Chapter 340: The Target Is Not Moria But Perona? The Jealousy In Hina's Heart! 

"This is natural."

After Rifan felt the touch of Ain's fingers passing over his skin, he chuckled twice and said:

"Let's talk about Moria first."

"The reason why I didn't kill that guy directly."

"I want him to be my partner."

After his words fell, Hina, Gion, and Ain immediately exclaimed.

Ian: "What, you want Moria to become your partner!?"

Hina: "Hina is surprised, Rifan, you are thinking of such an idea."

Gion: "Rifan, you're kidding, right?"

The exclamation of the three girls, Rifan had expected it.

The smile on his face was even wider, and he said:

"Of course I'm not joking.*

"Gion, I should have the right to decide who to be my partner."

Gion frowned, looking seriously at Rifan's eyes.

After a long time, she said quietly:

"You do have the right to choose your partner."

"But that guy is a former Shichibukai."

"And you're going to take his place."

"Is he really willing to be your partner?"

"And, I don't understand, why do you have to have Moria as your partner?"

"There should be nothing about that man that you can fancy."

Although Moria is one of the Shicibukai, his strength can be regarded as guaranteed.

But compared with Rifan's other partners, his strength is not necessarily stronger than them.

So Gion couldn't figure out why Rifan wanted to recruit someone who might have hatred towards him as his crew member.

"I naturally have my own way to get Moria to agree to be a member of my Black Pearl Pirates."

"As for why I want him to be my partner."

"The reason is also very simple."

"Gion, you've seen Perona brought back by Kasumi before, right?

"To tell you the truth, in the whole Thriller Bark, it's her that I really like."

"The reason why I plan to invite Moria to become a member of the Black Pearl Pirates."

"Exactly because there's no way to keep that girl Perona on my ship without doing that."

"After all, the relationship between that little girl and Moria seems to be quite deep."

Rifan said with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Ain, Gion, and Hina were stunned and stood there in a daze.

The three of them never thought that Rifan would say such a thing.

Moria is not Rifan's main target?

The real target is Perona?

And Moria just incidental?

The three of them looked at each other, their eyes meeting in one place.

After a while, everyone understood a little bit.

With Rifan's personality, it's possible that Perona, who looks good, may indeed have a certain probability of making some strange decisions in order to accept her.

"Rifan, if someone else gave such a reason, I might not believe it."

"But you give such a reason, so I have to believe it."

Gion shook her head and said with a soft sigh.

"However, even so, Marshal Sengoku will not allow you to accept Moria as your partner."

"That man is a former Shichibukai after all, and there are too many things involved in him."

Hina frowned and said.

Gion nodded in agreement and said:

"Indeed, Marshal Sengoku just allowed you to replace Moria as a Shichibukai."

"Even in this operation, he was ready for you to kill Moria."

"Now you not only don't execute Moria, you even want to keep him by your side!"

"Rifan, you should understand how difficult it is to get Marshal Sengoku to agree to this."

"Even if Marshal Sengoku agrees, the World Government will not allow such a thing to happen."

Ain couldn't stop nodding, obviously agreeing with Gion and Hina's statement.

In addition, because the things she heard are too surprising.

Her movement of rubbing Rifan back couldn't help but stop for a while.

"Ain, don't stop moving."

Rifan's reminder sounded at the right time, making Ain's body tremble involuntarily, and she quickly wiped his back with her hands.

"Gion, Hina, I naturally understand Sengoku's difficulties."

"I'll talk to him about it later."

"Although that guy Moria is Shichibukai, it's just that the influence of his name is a little bit bigger."

"His strength, to be honest, you can kill him with a few more Naval Headquarters Vice Admirals."

"So, Marine actually doesn't have to worry about Moria joining me that will make my side so powerful, hahaha."

Rifan laughed and said.

Sengoku has always wanted to understand his abilities.

Rifan believes that as long as he speaks out about the "replicated fruit" and "shared fruit" that he conceived earlier, and uses certain skills to make Hina, who is a Marine, stronger to a certain extent.

There is a high probability that Sengoku will be able to allow Moria to become a member of the Black Pearl Pirates.

Even if he still disagrees, Rifan will think of other ways to force Sengoku to agree.

"Even though Moria is not as strong as imagined now."

"But after he joined you, your pirate group."

"Presumably his strength will improve soon."

"After all, you have a way to make your partner stronger quickly.

Gion leaned on Rifan's side and said quietly.

"That's true, but compared to making Moria stronger."

"I would rather make Perona stronger."

Rifan said with a light smile.

On the side, when Hina heard Rifan saying Perona this, Perona that, she couldn't help pursing her lips, feeling jealous for no reason.

Although Rifan has such a personality, she is clearly beside Rifan now, and she is using her body to seduce Rifan.

However, Rifan's attention is still on a petite girl like Perona.

How can this not make Hina feel uncomfortable?

"Is that Perona really that good?"

Hina pursed her lips and muttered to herself.

However, her voice is very small.

But Rifan is right in front of her, how could she not hear her.

"That girl is very cute, both in appearance and personality."

"On the Black Pearl Pirates, if there is such a girl, I will be very happy.

"And her Devil Fruit ability is really interesting."

"But if you're talking about charm, of course Perona won't be your match~"

As Rifan said, he rubbed his arm against Hina's chest.

Hina felt Rifan's movements, and when she heard Rifan say that her charm was higher than that of Perona, a little blush appeared on her face, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

On the other side of Rifan, Gion frowned.

'Does that girl named Perona have the ability to make Rifan care? '

'Could it be that Rifan's real purpose of inviting her on board is not just because of her appearance.'

'Is it because of her ability?'

Gion thought to herself.

There is some speculation within Marine that Rifan can use the Devil Fruit ability of all members of the Black Pearl Pirates.

If Perona really has a powerful Devil Fruit ability.

And Rifan wants to accept her as his partner.

Then Rifan is likely to be able to use Perona's powerful Devil Fruit ability in the future.

Thinking of this, Gion immediately became serious in her heart.

"The ability to make you care about Rifan must be very interesting."

"Rifan, can you tell me a little bit about Perona's Devil Fruit ability?"

Gion puffed out her chest and asked Rifan with a charming smile.

Hearing this, Rifan immediately understood Gion's thoughts.

He smiled and said:

"Your curiosity is really strong, Gion."

"Or should I say, are you a conscientious intelligence officer?"

"Perona's ability, let her show you personally if you have the opportunity."

"Compared to her, shouldn't you care about me fighting Kuma?"

"It's rare that I have time to explain to you now."

"After taking a bath, I may not have time to tell you about my fight with Kuma."

Gion was not surprised when she heard what Rifan said.

After all, from before, she always wanted to know more about the Black Pearl Pirates.

Especially the issues related to the abilities of Rifan and the crew of the Black Pearl Pirates.

But Rifan will always demand a relevant price.

So at this time, he refused to say anything about Perona's ability, which is quite normal.

"Okay, now that you've said that, Rifan."

"Then let's talk about Kuma."

"Rifan, why did he fight you?"

"What about the result of your battle?"

Gion sighed quietly and asked.

"Hehe, I don't think I will say anything about this issue."

"You can probably understand."

"As a senior Marine, you know about the relationship between Kuma and Bonney."

"Isn't it normal for that guy to find Bonney on my ship and want to try me out?"

Rifan raised the corner of his mouth and said casually.

"So, he is here to test whether you have the ability to protect Jewelry Bonney?"

"That's right. Also, to see if I'm a good captain for Bonney~"

"Then he should acknowledge that you could indeed be a good captain for Bonney?"

"It's natural, otherwise, do you think with his ability, I would appear here without any injuries?"

"Indeed! That Kuma is very dangerous. If he wants to, even if he can't defeat you, he will find a way to shoot Bonney away."

Gion nodded and said in agreement.

"Of course, in order to prevent that guy from shooting Bonney away, I also played my part."

"After that Kuma returns, he might have to repair himself properly.

Rifan laughed.

"Huh?! You wounded Kuma!?"

Gion exclaimed.

"He was careless, it's not a serious injury."

Rifan laughed.

Having said that, Gion was still quite surprised.

Even if Kuma was really just testing Rifan, he was able to injure Kuma, but he was not injured.

This fully shows that Rifan's strength has reached a terrifying level.

For a moment, Gion was quite curious about how hurt Kuma had been.

"Okay, that's all I can say."

"Gion, you can report to Sengoku now."

"Here's the den-den mushi that talks to Marines."

"After you finish your report and Sengoku calms down, I'll have a good chat with him."

Rifan said, and nodded to Robin at the side.

Robin understood, and immediately walked over with a den-den mushi.

Handed it over to Gion.

Rifan understands that when Sengoku learns that he wants to take Moria as a partner, his reaction will be great.

That being the case, he might as well have a good chat with Sengoku after Gion finished her report.

In this way, some negotiation time can also be saved.

Gion is very smart, and she also understands what Rifan is saying.

So she opened her mouth and said to Rifan.

"In that case, Rifan, I'll leave here first."

"May I be allowed to leave with Ain?"

"If you want to wipe your back, I'll help you later.

In a sensitive place like the bathroom.

Gion doesn't feel at ease to let Ain be here, and leave her alone.

When Ain heard this, he immediately glanced at Gion gratefully.

"This is natural. After all, I want to completely relax here."

"If there are too many outsiders, it will be more or less inconvenient."

"Especially Miss Ain, it might be extremely inconvenient for you to be here."

Rifan smiled, pulled his hands out of Gion's and Hina's arms respectively, turned around and leaned his back against the wall of the bath.

"Totally relaxed?"

"Is it inconvenient for Ain to be here?"

A thoughtful light flashed in Gion's eyes, and soon some guesses crept into her mind.

Aside, Ain tilted her head, looking a little puzzled.

At this moment, Nojiko's figure came into Ain's eyes.

Nojiko walked through Gion, Ain and others to come to Rifan, raised her right hand and patted her cheek.

The next moment, Nojiko's originally charming figure turned into Ain's lovely appearance.

Before Ain was surprised, Nojiko put her whole body in front of Rifan.

In an instant, the color of the entire bathhouse seemed to be shrouded in pink.
