Kalifa was silent for a moment after hearing Lepus' statement. Then Kalifa hesitantly asked.
"Why should I believe you?"
"You have no choice but to believe."
Kalifa frowned.
"You haven't answered my question before. Who are you?"
"I'm Rex Lepus.... A pirate."
Hearing Lepus' confession, Kalifa was quite surprised.
"Pirate!? Why did a pirate save me!?"
Lepus smiled a little and answered Kalifa's question.
"Because I want you."
"What?"
"I want you to be mine and be my crew."
"No way! I refuse! Why should I be with a filthy pirate! Let me go, you b*stard! It's sexual harassment!"
"Not a chance.... You have no choice. After all, even if I let you go, where are you going to? Spandam scapegoated the CP9 and the Straw Hat Pirates for failing to get Pluton and the destruction of Enies Lobby. Do you think you can come back?"
"What?"
Kalifa was quite shocked to hear that CP9 was made a scapegoat for the failure at Enies Lobby.
"While my excuse saving you is because you are the weakest among the CP9 members. And you're the only woman. That's why I want you."
"Let me go! Do you know who I am!? The World Government won't be just silent if they know you captured me! You will be hunted and killed!"
Seeing that Kalifa was still hard-headed, Lepus shook his head.
"Hah~.... What a troublesome woman you are.... Can't be helped... I told you you have no choice...."
After that, Lepus tried to 'persuade' Kalifa with a little 'pressure'.

For 3 days and 3 nights, Lepus shut himself in his room.
The rest of the crew also didn't bother and didn't ask much after being told by Brisa.
During those 3 days and 3 nights, Lepus tried to 'persuade' Kalifa in various ways. Sometimes in a rather forceful way, sometimes in a soft and caring way. Until finally, Lepus succeeded in conquering Kalifa's body and heart.
Right now, Lepus was lying on the bed in his room with Kalifa leaning on him. And they were both naked because they had just finished their 'fight'.
After a while, Kalifa who was leaning on Lepus while felt the warmth, said softly.
"....-red"
"Hm?"
Lepus asked while still pampering her by gently stroking her honey-blonde head.
Kalifa then answered.
"I'm tired...."
What Kalifa meant was not only tired because of the two of them fighting in bed. Kalifa is also tired and stressed because of the pressure and demands of her profession and status before she met Lepus.
Lepus nodded in understanding.
"I understand. You can relax.... And I will take care of you and protect you. I want you to be mine, Kalifa. As my lover and my wife. Will you?"
Hearing that 'proposal', Kalifa nodded slightly.
"I will.... Anata-sama...."
Lepus then pulled the blanket and they both slept hugging in each other warmth.

The next morning....
Lepus and Kalifa came to the dining room on the ship to have breakfast with everyone.
Kalifa then introduced herself to the other Lepus' 'wives' and to the other crew members.
"My name is Kalifa. Nice to meet you all."
After Kalifa introduced themselves, the other members one by one also introduced themselves to Kalifa.
Later, Lepus introduces Kalifa to Muse.
"Kalifa, this is my daughter, Muse. My daughter is your daughter too, so take good care of her."
"Yes, Anata-sama."
Kalifa nodded slightly.
Then it was Lepus' turn to introduce Muse to Kalifa.
"Muse, this is Mama Kalifa. Say hello."
Muse nodded then called Kalifa.
"Mama Cha-li-pa?"
Kalifa nodded acknowledging Muse's innocence and smiled at her.
After that, they all started having breakfast together.
