Capítulo 221: Chapter 219: Smoothie Proposes To Rifan!
—•—|Leigh/Ada Live Broadcast Chat Room|—•—
[Great, Brother Rifan is finally here; now we don't have to worry about the fight between Leigh and Ada.]
[Eagle Audience: Damn it! How could Rifan appear here by such a coincidence?!]
[Green Pheasant Audience: I could have seen one of the top 100 people on the reincarnators list fall, or two people fall at the same time. But Rifan arrives at this time; wouldn't Ada and Leigh be safe?]
[It goes without saying that with Brother Rifan's current strength if he wants to suppress Smoothie and Hancock, it's easy.]
[Camel Audience: I think, with Rifan's personality, maybe he will be directly petrified by the Empress!]
[Hehe, you underestimate Rifan too much.]
[Green Pheasant Audience: Damn it! Why did this guy Rifan suddenly appear to their side!? Shouldn't he be heading directly to the Devil's Sea area where Honoka, Marie Mengsi, and Ito are going?'"
[Goat Audience: Reincarnators have their own communication interface. Presumably, Leigh and Ada have already told Rifan about their situation here. As Ada's master, Rifan naturally wouldn't just ignore Ada's affairs.]
[Eagle Audience: Sigh, it would be great if Rifan was farther away from Ada and Leigh! I hope this empress has a little more power; if she can petrify Rifan, that would be great!]
[Chollima Audience: Maybe it will be successful. After all, many people on Smoothie's side, even women, have been petrified. The charm of this Empress Hancock is indeed quite great for men. Even through the screen, even if I am a woman, I am overwhelmed by her charm!]
[Hehe, just lie to yourself. The empress's charm is indeed powerful, but don't forget that Brother Rifan's Observation Haki can predict the future. In this situation, how could the empress petrify him?]
[That is, if the Empress was really this powerful, she would have conquered the world by virtue of her charm, and there would be no Marines and Four Emperors. Take a good look; maybe Brother Rifan will show you what it means to use a man's charm to conquer an empress!]
[Eagle Audience: Even if Rifan can really resist Hancock's charm, what about Smoothie? How will Rifan deal with her? Don't forget that she intends to invite Rifan to join the Big Mom Pirates.]
[Green Pheasant Audience: Needless to say, that's the Four Emperors; even Rifan can't resist.]
[Elephant Audience: If Rifan is forced to join the Four Emperors, he will no longer be the captain, and his crew may also disperse. In this way, Rifan's power will not be so strong anymore.]
—•—One Piece Dungeon World—•—
The battle between Leigh and Aida has long attracted the attention of the Blue Star audience. It's the same as the foreign reincarnators sent into the world of pirates. Many viewers outside Panda naturally hoped that Leigh and Aida would die in this battle. At least one of their resurrection coins will be consumed. After all, both Ada and Leigh are among the top 100 reincarnators on the list. Ada Wong is second only to Rifan occupying the second place in the top 100 reincarnated person list announced in the tenth round. Everyone can imagine how generous the rewards Ada Wong and Leigh received because of their rankings.
At this moment, all of them played crucial roles in enhancing Panda's influence and increasing its prestige. Audiences and officials outside of Panda naturally harboured ill feelings toward Ada and Leigh. On the other hand, the audience and officials within Panda were deeply concerned about Leigh and Ada's situation.
For this reason, the Panda audience was naturally elated upon seeing Rifan's Black Pearl sailing in the direction of Leigh and Aida.
Meanwhile, audiences and officials in other countries held a glimmer of hope but also maintained expectations for Smoothie and the Empress. They hoped these formidable women could pose a challenge to Rifan.
Even if the Empress's charm didn't affect Rifan, they still hoped that Smoothie, with her reputation as the daughter of one of the Four Emperors' Big Mom, could somehow make Rifan compromise. However, they were bound to be disappointed.
In Rifan's own perception, neither the Empress nor Smoothie could pose a threat to him. He had already prepared countermeasures for the Empress's charm. As for Smoothie, despite the backing of the Four Emperors, Rifan had no immediate plans to engage with the Four Emperors' crews except for the Whitebeard Pirates.
Nonetheless, this didn't mean he would be timid when facing Smoothie. Rifan had no intention of compromising now that the situation had arisen. He was ready to act when the time was right. He even contemplated teaching Smoothie a lesson, but knew she should be unwilling to withdraw. If possible, he wanted to use this opportunity to gain favour with Smoothie, thereby helping Ada secure a higher position within the Big Mom Pirates.
Rifan observed the approaching battle on the sea, with Leigh and Aida exchanging blows. They casually assessed the reincarnator communication interface to leave messages.
['Panda' Rifan: Ada, Leigh, I'm here; you two get ready!]
Although Rifan had never met Leigh in person, Leigh's appearance resembled the Leigh he knew in a previous life-or-death game, so he recognized her at a glance.
"Bonney, let's make a grand entrance!" Rifan turned to Bonney with a smile.
"Understood, Captain!" Bonney responded with a twitch of her mouth and pressed a button on the helm. The Black Pearl roared to life, propelled upward by a powerful thrust. In an instant, it soared over ten meters in height and rapidly descended towards Smoothie, Hancock, and the others.
Meanwhile, Ada and Leigh noticed Rifan's message and exchanged glances. Then, they turned their attention to the sky. The massive Black Pearl, bearing the flag of the Black Pearl Pirates, plummeted from above, dwarfing the pirate ship they were on.
"Ms. Smoothie/Master Snake, a pirate ship flying the Black Pearl Pirates' flag is approaching!" Ada and Leigh landed behind their respective pirate ships and urgently informed Smoothie and Hancock.
Smoothie and Hancock, who had been focused on their battle, were taken aback by the news.
Then they sensed a powerful aura emanating from above. Both women halted their attacks, gazing up at the enormous Black Pearl as it touched down on the sea, creating a massive wave upon impact.
As the waves settled, Smoothie, Hancock, and the crews from both sides directed their attention to Rifan, who stood confidently on the bow of the Black Pearl, radiating an intriguing aura.
"Yo, how's everyone doing?" Rifan greeted Smoothie and Hancock with a playful grin. "Seeing you all having such a lively time, I thought I'd join the fun."
"Black Fog" Rifan!" Smoothie's eyes lit up with surprise as she looked at Rifan. Hancock on the other hand, already displeased due to encountering Smoothie, wore an even gloomier expression.
"The man who defeated Golden Lion with the Marines...how did this man appear here?" Hancock frowned slightly and shot a deep look at Rifan.
Rifan, in turn, examined Hancock. 'Is this Hancock? What charm she possesses. Only someone like her could wield the powers of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit so proficiently,' he thought to himself.
Hancock couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy under Rifan's intense gaze. However, given the complex situation before her, she refrained from taking any immediate action against Rifan.
"Didn't expect to see you here, Rifan, I'm Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Four Sweet Generals of the Big Mom Pirates. This is my mother's tea party invitation; please accept it."
Smoothie gracefully descended from her pirate ship and approached Rifan. She produced an invitation letter from somewhere and extended it towards him.
"A tea party invitation?!" Gion was taken aback. "Why would Big Mom offer something like that to Rifan? What does your pirate group want with him?!"
Despite not being in perfect condition at the moment, Gion quickly walked up to Rifan and Smoothie from behind.
"This one... It seems that she's not included in the Black Pearl Pirates' bounty list," Smoothie said with a hint of curiosity, as she couldn't immediately recognize Gion in her current attire. "She's a passenger traveling with me for the time being."
"And although I appreciate the effort you made to bring this invitation from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line, I regret to inform you that I don't have the time to attend your tea party."
As Rifan declined Smoothie's invitation, both Gion and Hina felt a sense of relief. As Marines, they didn't want Rifan to have any ties with the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors.
"Rifan, you may not know this, but in the New World, invitations from Big Mom are obligatory," Smoothie explained. "Declining her invitation is seen as a challenge to us. In that case, we would have no choice but to eliminate you."
Before Smoothie could continue her explanation and discuss the tea party invitation sent by her mother, Kalifa intervened with a stern expression.
"Who do you think you are, casually threatening to eliminate us?" Mikita retorted. "Do you possess the power to do so?"
"Oh? You're… Miss Mikita, the second-in-command of the Black Pearl Pirates. I know who you are. Don't worry; I'm not here for a fight if we can avoid it. We came with good intentions this time."
"Rifan, my mother invited you to Whole Cake Island to attend a tea party," Smoothie continued, maintaining a friendly demeanor. "On one hand, she wants to get to know you, and on the other hand, she wishes to discuss a potential marriage proposal."
"Marriage?!" Mikita exclaimed in astonishment, mirroring the shock on the faces of other Black Pearl Pirates crew members.
Rifan, however, wasn't overly surprised, having received relevant information from Koharu earlier.
"Rifan, marrying one of the Four Sweet Generals?" Gion frowned deeply. "In other words, Big Mom intends to absorb the Black Pearl Pirates into the Big Mom Pirates?!"
"Rifan is going to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"How could he be the son-in-law of Big Mom!?"
Gion stood firmly by Rifan's side and addressed Charlotte Smoothie with seriousness. As a Marine, she couldn't accept such a significant development that would bolster the already formidable Big Mom Pirates with Rifan's potential!
