Chapter 160: Experimental Subject! 

Shiki took a deep breath.

He first looked at the traces around him, and then used his Observation Haki to look at Gion and other marines that were getting closer in the distance.

After a little hesitation, he finally decided to retreat.

"Hmph! I'll let you off this time, Rifan."

"But there won't be a next time!"

Shiki snorted coldly and raised his hands.

Whether it's Rob Lucci or Kaku who haven't fallen yet.

Or the fallen Kumadori and other CP agents and nearby soldiers, they were entangled by earth controlley by Shiki and flew towards the sky.

When the earth around Rifan is about to wrap around Kalifa.

Rifan raised his eyebrows, and smashed the earth targeting Kalifa with a casual punch.

"You bastard!"

Shiki frowned, and looked at Rifan dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, I've taken a fancy to this one."

"Shiki, it doesn't matter if you lose this one right?"

Rifan stood in front of Kalifa, blocking Shiki's view of her.

"Humph, a man who lusts after women."

"But that woman has been infected with zombie viruses."

"It won't be long before she turns into an ugly zombie, so it's better to hand her over to me."

Shiki said with a cold snort.

When Kalifa heard Shiki's words, her heart skipped a beat.

For her who loves beauty, even if she dies, she will not be willing to become those zombies.

"You don't need to worry about that."

"Of course I have my own arrangements."

Rifan waved his hand and said indifferently.

Seeing this, Shiki could only give Rifan a cold look.

Then he flew into the sky with the experimental body that was almost swept away by half of the earth's surface with his ability.

What Shiki didn't notice was.

In the soil layer he was controlling.

There is a small positioning den-den mushi that Rifan synthesized with Munch-Munch Fruit and has a fairly sturdy appearance.

As long as the distance from Shiki is not too far from him.

He will know Shiki approximate location through the monitoring den-den mushi left on the Black Pearl.

Within the perception range of Rifan's Observation Haki.

After Shiki's ship went away, the Marine warship led by Gion has also arrived at the coast of Enies Lobby.

Because of Rifan's prior explanation, the Black Pearl went to another direction of Enies Lobby.

Therefore, it did not run into Marine's warship.

"Then let us go too, fair lady."

Rifan looked at Kalifa and said with a smile on his face.

After his voice fell, after using Dark Fruit to swallow a group of zombie beasts and humans who died in battle into the dark space of Dark Fruit.

Then he opened his mouth wide, under Kalifa's horrified gaze, and flew towards the direction of the Black Pearl.

Because Rifan has enough authoritative medical literacy.

Even if Kalifa is in the state of lumbar fracture now, Rifan can guarantee that she will not suffer a second injury.

On the other side, on Golden Lion Pirate ship.

"Here, William, I'll leave these guys to you."

"Since many of them are Devil Fruit users, they should be sufficient to expedite your research, right?"

With a gloomy expression, Shiki threw Rob Lucci and others, who were to be treated as experimental subjects, in front of William, and said with a gloomy expression.

Although it is for a greater plan in the future.

But making him retreat again made Shiki quite unhappy.

"Don't worry, Captain Shiki."

"With them, I can definitely speed up my research.

"After you have a complete body, Rifan, Marine, none of them are your opponents!"

William naturally knew what Shiki was unhappy about, and flattered him very precisely.

Sure enough, after hearing William's words, Shiki's expression softened a little.

But soon, Shiki's expression became serious again.

"That bastard Rifan actually hold back on our last fight."

"Conqueror's infusion....The slash just now reminded me of Roger. It's a pity that such a man is an enemy, otherwise I really want to invite him to my boat."

Hearing Shiki's words, William's expression changed immediately.

Just kidding, there is a blood feud between him and Rifan.

If Rifan came to Shiki's ship, he may not be able to survive.

"Captain Shiki, that bastard Rifan, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who is willing to be inferior to others."

William rubbed his hands together and said with a sneer.

At this time, he just wanted to try his best to persuade Shiki to give up the idea of ​​letting Rifan become a crew member.

"Of course, I know that the person who knows Conqueror's Haki is one in a million. Being able to understand Conqueror's infusion is in the single digits. Therefore, such a guy can only be an enemy, not a friend. But if such a man is given a period of time to develop, I'm afraid he will grow to an unimaginable level," said Shiki.

Hearing this, while William breathed a sigh of relief, he was also worried.

Rifan's exploration progress in this world was so lucky that William thought he came from this world himself.

William was equally concerned that Rifan would be rewarded with exaggerated rewards for yet another terrific initial achievement.

"Forget it, do your research, William."

"I'll go outside and have a look."

"At this time, it's good to pay attention to the movements of Marine and Rifan."

Shiki waved to William, then turned and left William's research room.

Black Pearl, on board.

"Everyone, I'm back."

Rifan accurately landed Kalifa on the deck of the invisible Black Pearl, and looked at his partners with a smile on his face.

"Welcome back...Captain Rifan, who is this woman?"

Mikita looked at Kalifa in Rifan's arms, and said with some resentment.

"Hehe, needless to say, it must be the woman that guy Rifan likes."

Bonney put her hands on her hips and said as a matter of course.

"This...isn't this Kalifa?"

"Rifan, why did you bring back this woman who took me away?"

"How about Rob Lucci, Kaku, and that bar owner, Blueno,  did you also bring them?"

Franky took two steps forward, frowning at Kalifa and asked.

"Those guys have now been taken by Shiki."

"As for this woman, she just happened to fall next to me."

"I think this is also a kind of fate, so I brought her back."

"I hope you don't mind Franky."

"By the way, I also brought Spandam."

Rifan said with a smile.

After speaking, Rifan opened the dark space and released Spandam and zombie monsters that had been absorbed.

Franky, who saw the zombie monster for the first time, was naturally taken aback.

And he didn't notice for a while that Spandam was also caught in it.

"Did you say that you saved her because of fate?"

"I think you would have rescued this woman even if she hadn't fallen beside you."

"Speaking of which, when you saved me back then, it must have contained your little thoughts in it."

Bonney put her arm on Rifan's shoulder and asked with interest.

"If I say yes, are you going to give me a break, Bonney?"

"Hehe, if you can let me see that bastard father of mine, it's not impossible."

"Really, I admit that you successfully aroused my interest~"

"Then have you thought about going to find that guy?"

"Well, maybe we'll be able to see him sooner rather than later."

Rifan thought of the scene where Kuma appeared in the Thriller Bark in the original book, so he couldn't help but speak.

"Of course, if I become a Shichibukai, meeting him will not be a problem."

"But compared to this, Bonny, you'd better steer the rudder and steer the ship a little bit away from Enies Lobby."

"I'm worried that after a while, the people from Marine will search here."

Rifan pushed Bonney's arm with his shoulder, and then walked to Franky who had found Spandam.

Then, without even thinking about it, he stepped on the belly of the sleeping Spandam.

"it hurts!"

The severe pain made Spandam wake up instantly, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Damn it, which bastard it is!"

Spandam struggled to get up, and drew the sword from his waist.

But he was quickly caught by Franky with a grin.

"Franky, according to the agreement, Spandam will be handed over to you."

"I'll come to you later for the ceremony of joining my ship..."

"I almost forgot about this."

"I'll accept your sword."

When Rifan said that, a hand grew out of Spandam immediately, snatched his sword and threw it to Rifan.

After Rifan caught the sword with Kalifa's body in his arms, he looked at chopper:

"Chopper, the zombies here will be handed over to you to extract their virus."

"By the way, Shiki seems to have improved the virus."

"It seems to be able to speed up the infection rate of a person, even if the person has a certain strength."

While Rifan was talking, Kalifa in his arms suddenly trembled, and her whole face became grim.

Seeing this, Rifan frowned, and led her into the cabin at a faster pace, and soon came to the consultation room.

"You are in very bad condition now, let me make a long story short, I can save you and keep you from turning into a zombie."

"However, you need to put aside your previous position and join my pirate group."

"Do you understood, Miss Kalifa?"

After Rifan put Kalifa on the hospital bed, he spoke solemnly to her.
