Some time later, Lepus stopped in front of a cell.

"Hm?"

The dimly lit cell was occupied by only one prisoner. But what makes Lepus stop is that the prisoner is a woman! The woman had very long crimson hair.

"I didn't think there would be rose in this hell of darkness.... That old ugly witch not included."

Lepus smiled a little and shook his head.

Then, Lepus opened the gap to enter the cell.

Then, in front of the restrained woman, Lepus spoke.

"Hey, want to come with me?"

The woman kept her head down and coldly asked Lepus.

".... Who are you?"

Lepus smiled a little and was not offended even though the woman was being cold. Lepus then introduced himself.

"I'm Rex Lepus.... Pirate. Yourself?"

Hearing Lepus ask for her identity, the woman was slightly silent and looked doubtful. But, in the end the woman answered.

".... Morrigan. I'm a.... Never mind."

Lepus then nodded slightly as a sign of understanding and didn't ask about the woman's identity any further.

"Oh, well.... Want to come with me? I'll free you and take care of you. You can trust me."

Hearing Lepus' statement, the woman, Morrigan, keep silent.

"....."

But then, Morrigan raised her head and looked at Lepus.

And Lepus was surprised to see Morrigan's face!

Morrigan's face looked beautiful and white as snow! Moreover, coupled with her cold expression, made her even more piercing anyone who looked at her! However, what surprised Lepus the most were her eyes! Morrigan's eyes looked grayish white! And Lepus realized what that meant.

"You're...blind?"

"...."

Morrigan still didn't speak and just kept silent while 'staring' at Lepus.

Lepus also felt a bit awkward and confused. But Lepus decided to keep quiet and not speak letting Morrigan stare at him.

After staring at Lepus for a while, Morrigan finally spoke.

".... Fine."

"Hm? What fine?"

Lepus didn't understand what Morrigan meant.

Morrisan also made it clear.

".... I'll come with you."

Lepus was a little surprised this time.

"You agree?"

".... Yes."

"Glad to hear that.... But why? Are you not afraid I'm just deceiving you?"

".... I was born blind. However, I have a sixth sense instead. I can 'feel' people's hearts by 'looking at them'. And I don't feel any ill will towards me from you."

Hearing Morrigan's explanation, Lepus nodded in understanding of Morrigan's ability.

"I see.... Kind of Kenbunshoku Haki."

".... Kenbunshoku Haki? So you know about Haki. And yes, you're quite right.... I also have Haoushoku Haki."

"You also have Haoushoku Haki!?"

".... Yes."

Lepus is quite surprised Morrigan also has Haoushoku Haki!

"Okay.... I'll loose your restraints."

Lepus then uses the power of his Limits to release the handcuffs holding Morrigan in.

Not long after, Morrigan was free.

"Alright.... We'll leave before Magellan comes again."

Lepus said and Morrigan just gave a small nod.

After that, Lepus carried Morrigan who was still a bit weak and disappeared using the gap.
