Chapter 197 Control
Of course it's worth it... and absolutely worth it. But how do you get those two to betray the Beasts Pirates and completely submit to his command?
His gaze then fell on Black Maria. Black Maria was 29 years old; while her strength and talent weren't as good as the other two, she was still quite impressive.
However, compared to them, Runti and Paget are easier to handle.
Because these two people, one is a brother-obsessed individual and the other a sister-obsessed individual, would do anything for each other.
"What a pity..."
After Aini's gaze swept over Black Maria unabashedly for a few moments, a hint of regret flashed across her face.
However, he didn't hesitate at all when he drew the knife in his hand.
"brush...."
The Autumn Water sword in his hand flashed with a cold light in the air. Before Black Maria could even react, she covered her neck with both hands.
It was incredibly painful.
His eyes were filled with terror, because no matter how hard he tried to stop the blood from gushing from the wound, he couldn't.
As blood continued to flow, she could even clearly feel her life force draining away.
Death has come.
She stumbled back several steps before collapsing to the ground, but did not die immediately; instead, she struggled weakly.
Upon seeing this, Aini's lips curled up slightly; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
He then glanced at Runti and Page.
As he expected, Runti and Paget's eyes were wide open, filled with terror.
The look in Aini's eyes changed again.
Terrification, fear... at this moment, they had long lost the will to resist. Even when they faced Kaido, they had never felt so powerless.
Because the gap in strength is simply too great.
Who is Black Maria?
Their immediate supervisor.
Although they were extremely resentful, after all, in their view, their strength was still superior to hers, there was one thing they had to admit.
That means Black Maria is indeed quite powerful.
Although not as good as them, she was still quite remarkable. Otherwise, her bounty would have been higher than theirs.
A bounty doesn't fully represent a person's strength, just like these three. They have low bounties, yet they're going to fight Black Maria.
They were absolutely confident they could defeat her.
However, their bounties weren't as high as hers. After all, they had only recently become pirates and hadn't truly made a name for themselves yet.
The reward is naturally not high.
However... a bounty can reflect a person's strength from another perspective. A person without strength could not possibly have such a high bounty.
Yet this very person couldn't even withstand a single move from the navy man before him.
He killed him instantly with a single strike.
If he could kill Black Maria with a single strike, he could kill them all with the same ease. Although they were confident they were stronger than Black Maria, their strength was only limited.
"What do we do now?"
Runti and Peggy Wan, the siblings, couldn't help but exchange a glance.
"brush..."
Then, Runti flashed forward and stood in front of Page One, her face resolute. She showed through her actions that they could die.
Even if she were to die, she insisted on dying before her brother, Page Van.
Such family affection is extremely rare.
Seeing this, Aini's heart couldn't help but stir. His desire to win them over grew even stronger... However, this was also a major reason why he was confident in bringing them under his command.
Aini's lips curled into a slight smile: "Bound by life and death... a rare and precious bond. How about this? I'll give you a chance to live, how about that?"
"Uh?"
Runti and Paget were slightly taken aback, but then immediately became overjoyed.
Who would want to die if they could live?
So, I nodded immediately.
Aini: "Join my ranks..."
"ah?!!!"
Runti and Page One were stunned once again. They never expected that this navy officer would try to win them over.
This is probably because they value their talent and ability!
Just like the captain back then.
But they are pirates!
However, they were immediately relieved because they remembered that Charlotte Castadian and Charlotte Blossom were members of the Big Mom Pirates!
Even Charlotte Linlin, the captain of the Big Mom Pirates, is now one of the people under his command.
Runti and Paget exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with joy.
who cares!
They agreed first and nodded repeatedly. But just as they were about to speak and give a formal answer...
Aini, seeing right through them, interrupted them: "I'm very pleased that you've agreed to join my ranks. However... how will you gain my trust?"
Runti: "..."
Page One: "......"
One sentence silenced the two of them.
The two looked at each other, unsure how to respond.
Aini, however, seemed to have expected this, and his smile widened even more: "It seems you can't think of a good way to gain my trust in a short time... How about I give you an idea?"
Do Runti and Page Van have any other options?
No, he nodded in the end.
Enni: "Denjiro... also known as Kyoshiro, is one of the Nine Red Scabbards under the Kozuki clan of Wano Country. We've already made a pact that I'll cause a ruckus on Kaido's stronghold, Onigashima, to draw the attention of the entire Beasts Pirates."
He would then persuade Kikunojo and Ashura Doji to launch a surprise attack on the quarry and rescue all the former retainers of the Kozuki family... You two siblings can split up into two groups.
One came with me to Ghost Island, acting as my guide; another followed them to raid the quarry, also serving as their guide and accomplice.
"this...."
Runti and Page were completely dumbfounded; they weren't stupid.
If they were to be led separately by Enni and Denjiro, one of the Nine Red Scabbards, there would be no turning back for them.
Everyone in the Beasts Pirates would consider them traitors.
Captain Kaido will definitely not let them go.
But they disagreed; they only had one option left—death...and it was now.
As for any other ulterior motives, that was it. The separation of the siblings was equivalent to having a hostage in Aini's hands.
If something goes wrong on either side, the people on the other side will be eliminated immediately.
"Gurgle..."
Runti and Page One swallowed hard, only then did they truly realize how terrifying the navy was before them.
He not only possessed great strength, but also had a firm grasp on human nature.
In the end, Runti and Page One nodded once again.
Eni glanced at the two of them: "Renti, you're with me, Page One, you're with Denjiro and the others. That's settled then. Hehehehehe..."
