Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

Smart tactics are always prepared for long-term strategies. Although the original battle situation had changed significantly due to the unexpected involvement of Yakumo Haku, the experienced Sengoku clearly knew what decision would maximize the benefits of the battle.

Compared to Doflamingo, taking the opportunity to hunt down Yakumo Shiro who caused a series of chaos is obviously more valuable.

At this moment, the navy has gathered Admiral Sengoku, Sakaski whose combat power far exceeds that of an average vice admiral, and the experienced vice admiral Tsuru, plus dozens of naval warships. Such a configuration is enough to launch a demon-slaying campaign. This is the first time since the O'Hara incident that there has been a similar large-scale mobilization of combat power!

Such a rare opportunity is hard to come by, and relying on his own intelligence advantage, Zhan Guo is fully confident that he can act as a "waiting in the dark" and as long as the time is right, he will be able to eliminate the unstable factors that are causing chaos in the sea in one fell swoop!

"Then, the matter of Mignon Island is up to you, Colonel Gion! Take the Operation Fruit away before Barrerus can react. There is no need to follow the rules for a corrupt guy who betrayed the navy!"

Three days before the transaction, in front of the naval fleet ready to go, Sengoku spoke seriously to Gion.

"Don't worry! Although Barrerus was once a naval officer, the Jin Kun Luo in my hand is not a vegetarian either!"

Zhiyuan nodded seriously. The strength of the veteran swordsman was the source of his confidence that allowed him to stand out among the navy.

"Well, Sakaski, Ahe, you will be responsible for the ambush on Svaro Island. Doflamingo will definitely go to the transaction location in advance. During this period, you must pay close attention to their movements. If Yakumo Shiro does not show up, it will not hurt to play the role of "Mantis" appropriately.

If we make a big enough noise, the cunning fox will look for an opportunity to attack, and then it will be our chance to act!

Gentlemen, may your military fortunes flourish!"

--split line--

"Hiss~ It's so cold, Master Yakumo, the weather in the Grand Line is really weird, is Svaro Island actually a winter island?

With such a harsh environment, it was a smart idea for Barelus to use this place as a base. After all, most people would not choose to land on such an uninhabited island..."

A series of dense footprints were left on the dazzlingly white thick snow, and the sound of "crunching" on the snow came one after another. Three days before the transaction, Yakumo Shiro and his group, who had landed on Mignon Island in advance to harvest the fruits, walked slowly on the snow. Miss Reiju, who was following them, was hugging Yakumo Shiro's tail with a blushing face. The girl who "could not bear the cold" seemed to want to get temporary warmth from it.

"Haha~ Miss Reiju, as a cyborg, are you afraid of the cold?

Speaking of which, you had already seen the situation on the island before landing, but you still kept your cool outfit...

It’s hard not to think too much about the intention behind this~”

Robin, who was wearing a beautiful plush coat, which was obviously much thicker than Reiju's, followed silently beside her. He glanced at the big tail in the other's arms, and then said calmly.

"Hoohoo~ Well, what's the matter? Master Yakumo's furry tail is so warm when you hold it in your arms. I think no one can refuse it, right?"

Even though her intentions were exposed in public, Reiju was not discouraged at all. Instead, she took the opportunity to put her arm around Yakumo Shiro's arm and spoke in a familiar tone.

Even though they are "comrades-in-arms" and fought against foreign enemies together a few days ago, compared to Robin who is still a little reserved and shy, Reiju obviously understands people's hearts better~

Now that you have done it, then enjoy it to your heart's content; now that your heart has been touched, then have no scruples and accompany and serve it with your whole heart.

The "completely free" Reiju has a carefree and straightforward nature that Robin cannot match. Robin did not experience the years of betrayal and escape in the original work, and was taken into the garden of sunshine and rain early on. At this time, she obviously does not have the maturity and composure in the original work.

Although it cannot be seen on the surface, and even Robin herself is unaware, the insightful Yakumo Shiro can vaguely feel that although the other party has felt much more at ease after a friendly match to enhance their relationship, if there is no complete and resolute defiance, the Sword of Damocles of the World Government will always hang over Robin's head, and the shadow it casts will form an invisible chain, binding her tightly under the confinement of the "Son of the Devil."

External shackles can be broken at any time, but inner chains can only be broken by relying on one's own will. Otherwise, there is no true freedom.

Noticing Robin's conflicted expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, Yakumo Shiro understood what was going on, but he did not hastily try to comfort her. The girl's strength would always help her find a suitable way out, but to truly embark on a smooth road, she only needed an opportunity, a chance for her to muster up the courage to resist her fate!

"Alright~ Now is not the time to play around, Reiju. Now that we've reached our destination, let's get started!"

After gently ruffling the girl's pink hair, Yakumo Bai continued,

"Maria, please find the guy in charge of the transaction, kill him, and then get the surgery fruit.

Oh, remember, if you encounter a guy with clown makeup, bring him here as well, the user of the Silence Fruit. That guy's ability is quite interesting."

"Yes, yes, yes~ Master Yakumo, I will naturally complete your orders perfectly, but I would like to ask for a generous reward afterwards~"

Maria bent down, licked her lips gently, and her soft voice revealed an indescribable charm.

"Well... of course, you know, Maria, I always give rewards and punishments clearly."

"That's naturally the best~"

"Well, then, Blaine, Sphinxlin, take your new companions with you. Nothing will happen on this island today because there will be no witnesses here!"

——Dividing line————

At the same time, on Mignon Island, near Barrerus's base, two figures, one big and one small, were approaching quietly. At this time, a layer of transparent strange space was covering the two of them. With the power of the Fruit of Silence and their skilled concealment techniques, for a moment, the approach of Rossinante and Luo did not attract any attention.

"Hey, Luo, wait here for a while. We are about to enter their camp. It will be more efficient to act alone!"

In a secluded place, Rosinante whispered to Luo.

"...Are you okay on your own, Mr. Rocinante? I heard that Barrerus was a former naval officer, and he has impressive abilities. If he is discovered..."

Trying to stay awake and resist the worsening of his illness, Luo looked at Rossinanti with burning eyes and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, putting aside my ability in direct combat, when it comes to lurking and hiding, no one is more suitable than me!

(Just wait for me here with peace of mind, Luo, I will bring you hope of life!)"

Forcing an ugly smile, Rossinanti obviously wanted the other party to relax a little, but the result was as expected, his smile was once again disliked.

"Don't show such a weird smile, it's ugly, okay?

I'll listen to you and wait here!"

Hearing Luo's seemingly impatient voice, Rosinante shook his head with relief, and then shrunk the Silent Domain to within half a meter of himself again, reducing his physical consumption while preparing to sneak in cautiously -

However, to everyone's surprise, sudden screams broke the quiet air, and the silent station suddenly "came to life"!

"What's going on? What was that thing that just flew over there?"

"Snake!! Snake!! There's a snake!!"

"Don't come over here!! Don't come over here!! Don't... uh uh..."

"Hey! Cheer up! Calm down!"

"Master Barelus! Master!! Save me!!"
