Chapter 153: Marine Asking Rifan For Help

"C-Captain was defeated?!"

"That's Captain Foxy, how could he be defeated so easily?!"

"Wait.....wait, the woman who defeated Captain Foxy is Nami who have a reward of 230 million Baileys?!"

"Nami with a reward of 230 million? They are the Black Pearl Pirates?!"

"Oh my god, t-then that an is the great pirate Rifan who have a reward of 1 billion Baileys?!"

On Long Island, all the pirates looked at Foxy who was knocked unconscious by the lightning in horror, and then looked at Rifan and his party in horror.

After recognizing the identity of Rifan and others, they all regretted why they came to play a pirate game with Rifan and his group.

"A reward of 230 million Baileys?"

"I'm very interested in what you said. You have news papers and reward orders about us right?"

"Can you hand it over for me to see?"

Suddenly, a strange female voice came from among the foxy pirates. 

Everyone followed the sound and found Karina who slowly revealing her own figure from the transparent state.

Such a scene made the timid pirates swallow their saliva, and someone immediately took out the newspaper and handed it to Karina.

After Karina got the newspaper and the reward order, she looked through it first.

Then she ran towards Rifan and the others excitedly.

When the foxy pirates saw Karina ignoring them, they naturally turned around and ran away, fearing that they would be killed by Rifan if they ran a little slower.

"Everyone, the latest news and Marine's latest bounty for our Black Pearl Pirates has come down!"

"Nami, congratulations, you are now a great pirate with a reward of 230 million Baileys."

"In this way, if I hand you over to Marine later, they can give me a huge bounty~"

Karina said while running towards Nami, Rifan and others.

"What... what?! A reward of 230 million Baileys?!"

Nami's eyes widened, and she immediately accepted the reward order from Karina.

After seeing the series of numbers on her reward order, she burst into tears.

"D-Damn it, there is such a high reward order!"

"I knew there would be a huge bounty for displaying the Thunder Fruit."

"Even I want to trade myself to Marine for Bailey."

Nami muttered to herself, with an aggrieved look on her face, Nojiko hurried over to comfort her.

"Nami was offered a reward of 230 million Baileys?"

"Isn't that higher than me?"

Mikita's eyes widened, and she looked at Nami unhappily.

As a loyal supporter of Rifan and the first crew member, she doesn't want anyone to have a higher bounty than her.

Except for Rifan, of course.

"Hehe, don't worry, Mikita."

"You have a reward of 300 million Baileys."

"And everyone, everyone has a new reward this time."

Karina handed over the reward orders of each member of the Black Pearl Pirates to the corresponding members with a smile on her face.

"300 million? Great!"

"Captain Rifan, look, look! It's 300 million Baileys!"

Mikita held the reward order in both hands, and said to Rifan who had just snatched the fruit of slow from Foxy's body, asking for credit.

"Nice job, Mikita."

"Keep working hard, I believe you can get a higher bounty."

Rifan stroked Mikita's golden hair and said with a smile.

Mikita is different now than when she fought Marine last time.

Now Mikita has mastered the power of Conqueror's entanglement.

Rifan thinks, wait until Mikita shows the power of Conqueror's entanglement.

Marine probably has to offer her a reward of 1 billion Baileys.

"Captain Rifan, look, look, I also have a reward of 100 million Baileys."

"Doctrine will be very happy when she sees it!"

Chopper happily ran over with his reward order.

"One hundred million Baileys, that's amazing, Chopper."

Rifan smiled gratified.

At the same time, Rifan couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Fortunately, this time, Chopper didn't just get a little Bailey's bounty like in the original. 

If Chopper can only get a little reward after fighting Gion, Rifan has to wonder if there is something wrong with Marine's brain.

"Marine took the credit for killing Crocodile this time."

"At the same time, they don't know that it was me, Vivi and Ada who defeated Crocodile.

"So we didn't give us much reward."

After reading the newspaper, Robin said with a smile.

"Hehe, with Robin's current ability, it will be a matter of time before you get a high reward."

"I'm looking forward to the reward you will get later."

Rifan turned to Robin and smiled.

The current Robin has been able to display such a powerful skill as Demon Form.

After she demonstrates such ability, Marine will definitely offer her a corresponding reward.

Even, Rifan wants to try to teach Robin fish man karate like Koala in the original book.

In this way, Robin's strength may also rise to a higher level.

"Let's go, everyone."

"It's over here."

"It's almost time for us to go to the capital of seven waters."

After Rifan put the slow fruit into the inventory, he led the crowd towards the Black Pearl docked on the coast.

Originally, Rifan thought that he might meet Aokiji in Long Island, but looking at the current situation, Aokiji may have been affected by the butterfly effect and cannot appear here.

In this regard, Rifan also expressed his understanding.

After all, it is impossible for Sengoku not to hold a high-level meeting after such a big event happened in Alabasta.

'I don't know if there is a biochemical crisis in Marine.'

'If it breaks out, it should be almost time for Sengoku to call.'

Just when Rifan was thinking this way, the den-den mushi left by Gion on his body suddenly rang.

Rifan raised his eyebrows, and after explaining that everyone continued to prepare for the voyage, he came to the captain's room with a den-den mushi.

"This is Rifan, what's the matter, Marshal Sengoku?"

Rifan sat casually on his chair and said with a smile on his face.

Sengoku on the opposite side of the den-den mushi was silent for a while when he heard Rifan's voice, and then said:

"You knew it would be me talking to you, Rifan?"

"Hehe, besides you, I can't think of anyone who will call me. Sengoku, is the situation of Naval Headquarters still optimistic?"

"You really know the corresponding situation, Rifan! Did you inject Hina with a medicine that can resist the virus?"

"Of course I know, after all, one of my companion also got bitten. As for whether the potion on Hina's body can resist zombification, my answer is yes.

Hearing Rifan's words, Sengoku was silent again.

After a moment, he went on to ask:

"Tell me your conditions, Rifan, how can you give us the potion?"

"Marshal Sengoku is trying to make a deal with me? But, if I remember correctly, you have already breached the contract twice~"

"I know! So as long as you are willing to treat our sailors, we are willing to pay double the price."

"Hehe, it's really an understatement. But anyway, as long as Marine can make me a Shichibukai, I can agree to your request."

"Shichibukai? Impossible! Rifan, you should know that it is impossible for you to be a Shichibukai."

"How could it be impossible? Now that Crocodile is no longer in this word, and now my name is big enough, I should have met the conditions to become a Shichibukai."

"Rifan, you have Nico Robin, and that alone makes it impossible for us to make you a Shichibukai, unless, you can give Robin to us. "

"Hehe, you really dare to say it, if that's the case, then you can watch your sailors continue to turn into zombies."

After Rifan finished speaking, he hung up the call directly.

Naval Headquarters, Sengoku looked at the den-den mushi that was hung up, and his brows were tightly knit together.

After a while, he shook his head and looked at Marine's think tank, Great Staff Officer Tsuru.

"Tsuru, what do you think of Rifan's request?"

Hearing this, Tsuru thought for a while and said:

"It's impossible to get Rifan to hand over Robin."

"As for making Rifan a Shichibukai, I don't think it's impossible."

"With his current strength, if he becomes Shichibukai, he may be able to deter some pirates in the sea."

"Moreover, we also need the formula in Rifan's hands to defend against the possible actions of Shiki."

"As for Rifan becoming Shichibukai...if he does something outrageous, we can also find an excuse to deprive him of the title of Shichibukai."

"Of course, for all of this, we still need to ask the World Government for their opinions."

"Sengoku, you can try asking the Five Elders for their opinion."

Sengoku sighed when he heard Tsuru's words.

"Judging from the Five Elders' situation, it is absolutely impossible for them to agree to Rifan becoming Shichibukai."

Having said that, Sengoku called the Five Elders and spoke out about Rifan wanting to be Shichibukai.

"What a joke, how could Rifan become Shichibukai!"

The bald, curly bearded Elder rejected Sengoku's proposal without hesitation for a second.

"However, those sailors infected by the zombie virus, as well as the zombie virus that Shiki may spread in the future, need to be on guard."

Sengoku resisted the pressure and spoke.

"Hmph, isn't it just a zombie virus?"

"We have the best scientists in the world."

"Since Rifan can develop a drug against the virus."

"Then we can also study it."

"Leave this matter to Vegapunk."

The bald, curly bearded Elder stopped talking to Sengoku and hung up the call directly.

Seeing this scene, Sengoku let out a long sigh.

"Sure enough, that would be the answer."

Sengoku said.

"In this case, let Vegapunk study it as soon as possible."

"My washing fruit seems to be able to delay the onset of the virus."

"Those sailors who have not turned into zombies, I will find a way to control them."

"As for Rifan, you don't have to reject him yet."

"If there is a turning point in the future, he can still be made Shichibukai."

Tsuru said.

Sengoku nodded at that.

If possible, he does not want such a turnaround to occur.

Because once such a turning point occurs, it means that Marine may be forced to make Rifan a Shichibukai.

And that level is definitely the level that Marine paid a considerable price.

"Sigh, now, that's the only way to do it."

Sengoku nodded slightly, and dialled the number to Rifan again.

But this time, the call has been waiting for more than 20 minutes, and it was not connected until Sengoku thought that Rifan had thrown away the den-den mushi.

"Yo, Sengoku, what's the matter?"

On the opposite side of the den-den mushi, Rifan's mocking voice came over.

"Rifan, regarding Shichibukai, we need to discuss it with the World Government first."

"I hope you can give us some time."

"The Den-den mushi, I hope you can keep it."

Sengoku took a deep breath, tried his best to calm Rifan's slightly irritable mood after not answering the phone for a long time, and then spoke to Rifan.

"You think I'm idiot? Aren't you just waiting for your scientists to develop the medicine?"

"Or, are you waiting until you catch that Shiki, and get the formula from the scientist on his side?"

"In that case, you don't have to promise me to become a Shichibukai?"

On the Black Pearl, Rifan nodded to Nojiko who came in through the door, and said to Sengoku on the opposite side of the den-den mushi.

Hearing this, Sengoku couldn't help falling into silence.

Fortunately, Rifan didn't make it difficult for him.

"Forget it, I'll wait for a while."

"I hope you will not regret this wasted time you make."

After Rifan finished speaking, he raised his hand and hung up the call, and turned to look at Nojiko who was taking off her clothes alluringly.

Now he has more important things to do.

"Rifan, are we really going to do it here?"

Nojiko looked at Robin at the side, and said shyly.
