Chapter 97: Trading With Sengoku. 

"You want Devil Fruit?"

Hina blinked and asked suspiciously.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rifan's right hand also brushed against Hina's sensitive area, causing her to groan again.

"That's right. If you can give me enough Devil Fruit."

"I can let the two of you go."

Rifan looked at Hina's reaction with a smile on his face and said.

Inside Hina's body, there is a Cage-Cage Fruit.

Rifan always feels that it will be a bit of a loss if she is allowed to leave without an arrangement.

After all, if this Cage Fruit is captured, it can also be auctioned on the reincarnators trading interface.

However, if the Marine can give more than one Devil Fruit in exchange for the personal safety of Hina and Tashigi.

Rifan felt that that deal was a good deal.

But soon, Hina gave an answer that Rifan didn't want to hear.

"No. Rifan, Marine and World Government will not allow this to happen,"

"Hina is only a Lieutenant Colonel at Naval Headquarters, and Tashigi is only a Marine Staff Sergeant."

"The higher up will not allow anyone to exchange precious Devil Fruit for our lives."

"If all the pirates were doing this, Marines would have messed up a long time ago."

Hina shook her head and spoke.

Hearing such an answer, Rifan immediately frowned.

But after thinking about it, Rifan also felt that this was normal.

Devil Fruit is precious, even Marines cannot get it easily.

Otherwise, the Marines would already be flooded with devil fruit ability users.

It is indeed a bit exaggerated to exchange Devil Fruit for the lieutenant colonel of Naval Headquarters.

"Although it's a pity, what you said makes sense."

"Then let me ask you another thing first, Hina."

"Earlier, you Marine asked me about the senior agent of Baroque Works."

"I want to know, those senior agents, did you catch them?"

Rifan asked with a smile on his face.

"According to Hina's information, Mr.4 of Baroque Works and his partner Miss Merry Christmas were caught a few days ago."

"Rifan, why are you asking this?"

Hina frowned and asked curiously.

"It's very simple, since Marine won't replace the two of you with Devil Fruit,"

"I think you can consider handing over the two senior agents of the Baroque Work you captured to me."

"To tell you the truth, I have a deep feud with the Baroque Workers."

"If possible, I want to kill those people with my own hands."

"Two criminals exchange for the two of you, It's a fair deal, isn't it?"

Rifan put his hand on Hina's chest and spoke while feeling her heartbeat.

Since it is impossible to ask for Devil Fruit directly, asking for a person with Devil Fruit ability can be an alternative.

"Are you asking for criminals?" Hina felt the hand on her heart, biting her lips, she said:

"This request may be fulfilled."

"But Hina needs to ask the higher ups first."

Hearing this, Rifan nodded, and put the den-den mushi he had snatched from Hina before into her side.

"In that case, use this den-den mushi to ask Sengoku."

"But you have to tell him not to try to play tricks."

"Don't even try to keep me here and let Garp come and get me in trouble."

"Those two agents, I need you to bring a Marine who is not very strong to me."

"As for the location...he has to wait until I leave Warship."

Thinking of the overheard conversation between Hina and Sengoku, Rifan spoke to Hina.

Hearing this, Hina took a deep breath, raised her hand and called Naval Headquarters, and told Sengoku Rifan's request,

"He wants to kill the enemy with your own hands? Although there is no precedent for this, if it is for the safety of two outstanding Marines, an exception can still be made."

"Hina, tell Rifan that I agreed to his terms."

"But he has to keep you, Tashigi, and the rest of the Marines safe."

When Hina heard Sengoku's agreeing to the term, she looked up at Rifan on the opposite side.

After seeing Rifan nodded slightly, Hina passed on Rifan's opinion to Sengoku.

"He actually agreed easily, it makes me suspect that he has ulterior motives."

"What do you think, Ms. Hina?"

After Hina hung up the call, Rifan took the den-den mushi again, staring directly at Hina's eyes and said.

Although Hina also felt suspicious of how smooth the talk was, she of course won't talk about it.

"Hmm. Although he is suspicious, I'll just believe Sengoku's words for now."

"After that, I will trouble Ms. Hina to inform him of the location of the transaction with the den-den mushi."

"But according to what Sengoku said earlier, I can't touch you and Tashigi, Miss Hina, what a pity."

Rifan shrugged, although he felt that Sengoku agreed too easily.

But he is also confident in his arrangement, so he still plans to try to trade with the Marines.

If this transaction is successful, he can continue to use this method to obtain Devil Fruit in the future.

If there is a change in the Marine, Rifan also believes that as long as he arranges it properly, he has the ability to terminate the transaction at any time and go to a safe place.

"Hmph, since that's the case, Hina is going to wash off the ointment on her body."

Hina snorted coldly, and was about to get up and leave.

"Don't be like that, it's hard to apply this ointment you know and I still need to record whether your body will react to these ointments."

"And, according to Sengoku, I can't touch you."

"But my assistant and nurse, Nojiko, can do it in my stead."

"Nojiko, I will trouble you next."

"By the way, it's time for Tashigi to change the ointment, too."

Rifan stepped back two steps, reached out and patted Nojiko on the shoulder.

In this regard, Nojiko had no choice but to stand up.

"Ms. Tashigi, Ms. Hina, I will trouble you to cooperate with me."

Hearing this, Hina looked at Nojiko, then at Rifan who was staring at her upright, finally took a deep breath, and lay down again.

Now that she has been seen, she doesn't mind letting Rifan watch for a while longer.

As for Tashigi, under the guidance of Nojiko, she finally came to lie down next to Hina slowly.

Hina turned sideways to glance at Tashigi's body, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Tashigi, has your body... grown a little?"

As soon as Hina said this, Tashigi blushed immediately.

…

Naval Headquarters, Office of the Marshal.

"Sengoku, are you really going to make a deal with Rifan?"

Tsuru asked.

"It's just to stabilize that guy temporarily."

"Kuma has set off, and he will be able to reach the location of Warship Island in a short time."

"As long as Rifan doesn't attack Hina and others during this time, it will be our victory.

A gleam flashed in Sengoku's eyes, and he spoke.

Hearing this, Tsuru nodded: "Then, what if Rifan and the others have already left after Kuma arrives?"

When Sengoku heard this, he thought for a moment and said;

"If they've already left, it doesn't hurt to hand over the two captured agents to Rifan."

"Even, we can deal with Rifan through this trading arrangements."

"Even if it fails in the end, it would be good to get back Hina and Tashigi in exchange."

Of course, such a result is not what Sengoku wants to see.

"Now that you've made up your mind, do as you say."

"Next, it depends on the performance of the man."

Tsuru rested her chin in both hands, and spoke.

…

Black Pearl, consultation room.

"Rifan, why are these two enjoying Nojiko's massage?"

"Shouldn't they be captives?"

Mikita walked into the consultation room and asked with some doubts.

"I just let them try the medicine I made and wait until the effect of the medicine is confirmed."

"Then I can give these things to everyone to use."

"Maybe, it can also make Mikita grow up early like Nami."

The corner of Rifan's mouth raised, and he looked at Nami, Carina and others who followed Mikita into the consultation room.

After the words fell, both Mikita and Carina showed interested eyes.

"Then, can I ask Captain Rifan to apply the ointment for me?"

Mikita folded her hands next to her belly, lowered her head and asked Rifan.

"Of course, it's better to say that I am happy to do it for you, Mikita."

When Mikita heard Rifan's words, the joy in her eyes almost burst out.

"If there is a chance, I'll let Captain Rifan apply the ointment for me then."

"But before that, shouldn't we look for the lost island of the Millennium Dragon?"

"Captain Rifan, we have already brought Grandpa Ryu to the Black Pearl."

Carina took a step forward and stood beside Rifan under Mikita's displeased gaze.

"Don't worry, we're already close."

Rifan patted Carina on the shoulder, and looked at Abis who was looking at him expectantly by the door with a smile on his face.

Then he looked at Tashigi and Hina who were exposed on the hospital bed not far away, and after confirming that the live broadcast room was in a black screen, he said slowly:

"Actually, I know something about the Millennium Dragon."

"If we want to find the hometown of the thousand-year-old dragon, we don't need to go to that lost island."

"Just wait here on the warship island..."

As Rifan narrated, the eyes of Abis and Carina opened wider and wider.

The two of them never thought that the hometown of the thousand-year-old dragon was right under their feet.

"Captain Rifan, is what you said true?"

"As long as we stay here, can we see Grandpa Ryu hometown?"

Carina asked in surprise.

"Hehe, if you don't believe me, I can take you to dive into the sea and have a look."

"After seeing the rest of the warship island under the sea, I think you will believe my words."

Rifan put his hands on Carina's shoulders and gave her a thumbs up.

"Tch, Devil fruit user actually wants to take people into the sea, Hina despises liar very much."

At this moment, Hina, who had already sat up and crossed her legs, looked at Rifan seriously.

"Hehe, do you want to make a bet, Miss Hina?"

"If I win, how about you doing that dance for me?"

Rifan looked at Hina with a smile all over his face.

He gains Nami's navigation mastery.

This also gave him the ability to sense the weather using his skin.

Therefore, he can know that in the near future, Warship Island will face low tide, and it will be an extremely violent low tide.

Combined with the analysis of the plot of the original story, Rifan immediately knew that this was another part of Warship Island that was about to appear in front of people.

"Hmph."

"So, Ms. Hina, are you afraid?"

"Hina has no reason to bet with you."

In the end, Hina turned her head directly and ignored him.

Seeing such a situation, Rifan asked any longer, but just thought it was a pity in his heart.

"In short, let's wait here for a while."

"I believe we will have an answer soon."

"Everyone, please rest for a while."

"Mikita, come with me."

Rifan waved to Mikita, stepped out of the consultation room, and walked towards the deck.

Regarding the remaining "Awakening Scroll of Elementary Armament Haki", Rifan deliberated and decided to hand it over to his first partner.

"Yes, Captain."

When Mikita saw Rifan calling her alone, she immediately followed with a smile on her face.

Thinking of what Rifan said earlier about applying some skin care products that don't need to be tested, she felt a little hopeful in her heart.

Therefore, after arriving on the deck, Mikita had to take off her coat immediately.

Fortunately, Rifan held her shoulder in time.

"Mikita, what are you doing?"

"Captain, don't you need to apply skin care products, sunscreen and the like? I'm ready!"

"This... let's take it easy for now, until there are no other males."

"But, apart from you, Captain Rifan, there are no other men here."

Although Mikita was happy that Rifan didn't want her body to be seen by other men, after looking at the surrounding situation, she couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"There really isn't another man here besides me.

"However, there is still one male creature."

Rifan put his hands on Mikita's shoulders, and led her to look at the old dragon who was brought by Carina and Nami to the Black Pearl.

At this moment, he was staring at Rifan and Mikita with a pair of round eyes.

Tsk, this old bastard, can't he fall asleep?

Mikita smacked her mouth, and her face instantly became unhappy.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business.

"I call you here to bestow you the last kind of Haki, the observation haki."

Rifan smiled, and raised his hand to hold Mikita's hand with the tattoo of the Pirates.

[Rifan, you use the Primary Armament Haki Awakening Scroll on Mikita, start strengthening. ]

[The strengthening of Mikita has been completed, and her personal attributes have been refreshed, please check it yourself. ]

[Rifan, your talent "Strengthen the crew, equal return" has been activated!]

[It has been detected that you already have intermediate-level Observation Haki, this enhancement has been converted into 500 physical points. ]

[Your personal attribute has been refreshed, please check it yourself. ]

'It's another bonus of 500 physical points. In this way, the physical points will break through the 23000 mark. "

'Wait, the physical level has reached level A?!"

'In other words, will there be related initial achievements?!'

Just when Rifan was thinking.

Suddenly, another reminder sounded in his mind.

[Rifan, to achieve the achievement "The first reincarnator whose physical level reaches A-level", special reward Intermediate Armament Haki Awakening Scroll.]
