Chapter 81

Although Vermillion had no intention of joining their team, he wanted to see his comrades duel with them.

Should the pirates refuse to give the Devil Fruit they had promised, Vermillion would seize it by force.

If they were proven not to have Devil Fruit and were simply deceiving the participants, then Vermillion himself would not mind throwing them into Impel Down.

Thanks to the lure of such luxurious rewards, many Pirates were eager to participate in the duel. Some participants had heads with small Bounties, though there were also strong participants even with their not-so-known reputations.

Their participation was natural; after all, the prize was a Devil Fruit that was arguably quite rare in the entire ocean. Not a few people are interested in this sea treasure.

Even the Navy and the World Government secretly sent some of their people to participate in this event.

For this reason, the Navy and the world government found Vermillion and his colleagues as soon as they set foot on the island.

"Musashi, I'll be counting on you this time." Vermillion patted Musashi's shoulder with a smile, "Help me win that Devil Fruit."

"Leave it to me." Musashi patted her chest.

"Since this is Master's request, I will carry out this order to the best of my ability." Musashi's originally relaxed expression turned stern and determined.

"Thank you, Musashi."

Turning to his other friends, Vermillion asked, "Are you interested in this duel too?"

"Boring... I'm not going to fight these weaklings." Tatsumaki said with a condescending look on her face. In her observation, none of them was strong!

If Musashi joined, she would definitely win, so there was no need to waste time participating in this duel.

"Same, I'm not interested." Dio nodded along.

"Musashi's is enough for this, these guys aren't capable enough fight my Stand, hahaha!"

Hearing Tatsumaki and Dio's answer, Vermillion simply nodded. Musashi alone is already overkill for this task; if Tatsumaki and Dio joined, they would only be wasting effort and time.

Turning to Scheherazade, Vermillion smiled, "Scheherazade, you stay by my side. You don't like war and fight, do you? I won't force you into any wars or battles."

"Thank you, my King." Scheherazade approached her Master and wrapped her arms around him. Scheherazade gazed gratefully into her Master's eyes.

Vermillion smiled as he shook his head, hinting that she did not need to thank him.

Looking at Kratos, Vermillion knew at a glance that the Spartans might want to join this duel, even though his strength was too overkill.

"Kratos, you can join the duel. But don't take yourself too seriously when dealing with the Musashi, okay?"

Vermillion was worried about Musashi; he worried Kratos would take things too seriously when fighting that woman. It was better to warn Kratos early so that accidents would not happen.

"Don't worry, Lord Vermillion, I shall play safe against Musashi." Kratos nodded.

"Good."

Turning to Minamoto, Vermillion asked, "Minamoto, do you want to join as well?"

"My dear, I actually want to come along..." Minamoto put her arm around Vermillion as she said shyly.

Pressing both breasts against her Master's arm, Minamoto continued, "But I want to stay with Master, hehe~."

"I myself would rather have Scheherazade and Minamoto accompany me here, hahaha." Vermillion himself would not refuse.

Since everyone was convinced that Musashi and Kratos alone were enough for this task, they refused to join the duel.

After registering Musashi and Kratos, Vermillion reminded Musashi one last time, "Although I have told Kratos to play it safe with you, but still, be careful, he is a powerful warrior who can get carried away in his own battles."

"Okay, I'll be more careful when fighting him."

"Vermillion, please enjoy my performance, I will definitely give you the final victory." Musashi smiled.

With two lovers embracing his left and right arms, Vermillion led Musashi, Kratos, and his comrades into the arena.

Seeing Vermillion holding two super beautiful women, people who saw this became jealous and wanted to replace him.

Just looking at the beautiful and sexy Scheherazade and Minamoto is enough to make anyone happy, let alone being hugged by both women simultaneously! How can men not be jealous when they see this?

Besides the two ladies, Drake and another lady were following behind. Each of them was no less beautiful; in fact, their beauty was a little unreal! They look like angels who fell from heaven!

Despite feeling jealous, the men didn't dare to bother Vermillion. Faced with a Pirate with a Billion Belly Bounties, what kind of strength did they have to face that man?

"My dear, their stares make me feel so disgusted." Minamoto frowned, "Can I teach them a lesson?"

"Just jealous people, no big deal." Vermillion glanced at the jealous people.

"There are also some people who keep a close eye on us. Master, you must have realized that there are some people who have been following us since we set foot on this island, right?"

"I feel that they are very similar to the people from the World Government that I have met before." Emiya expressed his thoughts.

After a moment's thought, Vermillion replied, "You can monitor their movements, but to be safe, it's better to make a team of two."

Turning to Dio, Vermillion requested, "Dio, can I trouble you with something? I want you to go accompany Emiya. Is that okay?"

"Since this is a task that has been given by the Boss, of course I am willing."

"Alright Master, then we will leave for a while." Emiya nodded.

Elsewhere.

"Chief Spandam, Vermillion and his members have divided their group into three. Two are competing in the duel, the other two are going to the tallest building on the island, while Vermillion is taking the rest into the dueling arena."

Dressed in an all-black suit, a strong man with hair shaped like horns walked out through a door that suddenly appeared midair. The man in the suit immediately reported what he saw to Chief Spandam, the leader of CP9!
