Chapter 99

*Boom!*

Immediately, the unconscious Golden Lion hit the ground with a massive impact.

"Well, this battle was quite fun, as expected of a Golden Lion, hahaha!" After canceling her Noble Phantasm, Drake jumped down while laughing happily.

"The legendary Golden Lion Pirates have been defeated!"

"Big news! The Golden Lion Pirate has been taken down by Captain Drake!"

Seeing the Golden Lion lying on the ground, the crowd in the dueling arena was shocked and excited.

"This guy is quite strong." Dio jumped and landed beside Drake while expressing his opinion.

"By the way, where's the boss?"

"He is with Scheherazade." Emiya said.

"I sense magic power from within the barrier around here."

"Oh?! Is that magic your Noble Phantasm? Unlimited Blade Works, right?" Dio turned to Emiya.

"I've long been interested in your abilities. Being able to create a small world outside of reality, I've never seen a Stand with this kind of ability before."

"Are you going to tell me how you did it?"

"Let's talk about it later. But the magic I felt wasn't from the Unlimited Blade Works, it was another magic... it should be Scheherazade's Noble Phantasm."

"Hmph, they're so slow." Tatsumaki, who had just arrived, dissatisfiedly argued.

"Dealing with the few people in charge of the island alone took this long. Even after Drake defeated the Golden Lion, they were still not done."

"That man must be making out with Scheherazade! That lewd man had indeed glanced at Scheherazade many times. Damn! What's so good about that dairy cow!"

Tatsumaki, who had just finished her words, suddenly felt that she had been encircled by strange shadows. When she raised her head, she found that Drake, Tsunade, and Minamoto had surrounded her!

"Wait! I'm not talking about you guys." Tatsumaki hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, I won't let you off the hook that quickly." Tsunade said while squeezing her fist; she continued, "Obviously you've been hanging out with Vermillion thanks to your cuteness, and now you're complaining about our 'dairy cow'? Looks like you need to be taught a lesson."

"No, wait! I'm not talking about you guys, I'm talking about Scheherazade!"

Accompanied by Tatsumaki's disgruntled cries, Tsunade and the others surrounded the petite woman and then 'massaged' her with a secret weapon.

After a while, Tatsumaki lay on the ground while trying to inhale with difficulty.

"I doubt Tatsumaki will include me as well." Musashi said while looking at her breast.

"Not true, yours is big too." Robin said with a chuckle.

"Ah, really? Well, good then, I quite like it, hahaha!" Hearing Robin's praise, Musashi laughed happily.

"But, Robin, yours isn't too bad either, hehe~" Musashi complimented back.

Robin, who heard this, touched her cheeks while looking shy. Being told by Musashi about this, of course, she felt a little embarrassed.

"But still, I feel very envious of Scheherazade. If only my Noble-Phantasm could make me alone with my beloved... The two of them must be making out right now!" Minamoto clenched her teeth as she looked up at the sky.

"Are you talking about me?" Vermillion suddenly appeared behind Minamoto and hugged her.

Scheherazade and Kratos also appeared simultaneously. Beside them were the lifeless 'islanders.'

"Ah?! You're finally back, my dear! Do you know how much I missed you when you were away?" Minamoto leaned her body against Vermillion, clearly eager to be pampered.

"I missed you too, Minamoto." Vermillion smiled as he patted the woman on the back.

"Hmm, it looks like you guys have beaten Golden Lion while I was away." Vermillion looked at Golden Lion's body lying on the ground.

"It was actually Drake who defeated him. This, Golden Lion's Devil Fruit, I picked it up when that guy was fighting Drake." Dio walked to Vermillion's side while carrying the Devil Fruit.

"Thank you, Dio." Vermillion accepted it with a smile.

"So, what should we do with this guy?" Drake asked, smiling.

Staring at Golden Lion, Vermillion narrowed his eyes. With his power, Vermillion discovered that Golden Lion had woken up.

'As expected of a Powerhouse Veteran, he regained consciousness quickly.' Vermillion thought to himself.

"There's no point in sparing him, let's kill." Realizing that Golden Lion was feigning unconsciousness, Vermillion decided to speak his mind out loud.

"Wait! I have something I need to say!" Hearing that horror, Golden Lion, who originally wanted to run away, hurriedly jumped up.

"You're that Marshal Blue, right? How about we make a deal?"

"Spare my life and I'll hand over all the wealth I've accumulated over the years to you, how about it?"

"Don't worry, I know you're more interested in Devil Fruit, and I have it at the headquarters too."

"Even though it's not as good as the Devil Fruit in your hands, but the quality isn't too bad, also, I have a lot of Belly."

"You will gain nothing by killing me. Spare me and I will go and get the treasures I have promised you."

"Sound like a good idea." Vermillion said as he stroked his chin.

"How about taking us there? As long as you keep your promise, then I will spare your life."

"Why should I trust you? What if you decide to kill me after taking the treasures?" Golden Lion said dissatisfiedly.

"Remember, you are the one who has no choice here, Golden Lion, and you are the one who is more untrustworthy."

"Remember this Devil Fruit? You weren't even willing to hand it over to the Champion in the first place, were you?"

"Be honest, and I'll let you go." Vermillion said in a bored tone. He knew what trick this old man had planned.

Golden Lion was silent; he did not intend to hand over the Devil Fruit that he promised to the Champion. This Devil Fruit was only used to attract people with superior potential to join the Golden Lion Pirates.
