"One of the top leaders of the Donquixote Family, the man with a bounty of 99 million Berries, Trebol!" Hina frowned, staring straight at the man who led Dellinger out of the fruit stall.
She wasn't afraid of the visitor but was worried about the impact it would have on Ikki's trip to Dressrosa.
"Are you the ones who beat up our cadre?" The corner of Trebol's mouth raised. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and knocked out a turbid, snot-like liquid that attacked Sadi-chan. Although it seemed like just a funny attack, the sound waves that broke through the air made both Sadi-chan and Hina alert.
"Tsk! Trouble!" Hina smacked her mouth, and the Innate Demon Slayer Mark she had just mastered quickly opened. The moment the lines of flames appeared on Hina's forehead, her body had turned into an afterimage at the speed of 'Geppo' and came to Sadi-chan.
"Fire Breathing First Form: Unknowing Fire!"
Hina quickly drew out her sword and slashed in a semi-circle towards Trebol's ability. The powerful strength given to Hina by the Innate Demon Slayer Mark and the scorching flame and sticky fruit ability given to Hina by the Fire Breathing collided, causing a violent sound immediately.
"Huh! What's this?" Trebol glanced curiously at Hina, who was wielding the sword. He could feel that the liquid he made with the Sticky-Sticky Fruit was quickly being burned by the flame on Hina's knife. In just a few seconds, the liquid disappeared. Although it was just slime that he created casually, it still made Trebol a little unhappy when it was dissolved by the enemy.
"Hina, how did you..." Sadi-chan frowned.
"Let's stop here. At this time, it's really not suitable for us to conflict with the Donquixote Family." Hina murmured, putting her long knife into its sheath without looking back. "Whether it's for the captain of the ship we're on now or for the Marines."
"Hina is a Marine Headquarters Captain, and the people around Hina are her colleagues. The conflict just now was because of the man behind you. If you don't believe it, you can ask."
Hearing this, Trebol immediately frowned. "Marine?!" He looked at Hina and Sadi-chan with deep eyes, and soon he thought of a piece of news about Hina.
"Are you the Marine woman who was instrumental in the Sand Crocodile incident?" Hina nodded. Although for the Sand Crocodile incident, it was the Marines who took all the credit, right now she couldn't care so much.
"Now that you recognize Hina, how about we just go our separate ways? If we really fight, it won't be a good thing for your king." Hina said.
Dellinger opened his mouth. He never thought that the woman he casually struck up a conversation with turned out to be a Marine. Of course, Trebol was also troubled. Now that the Marines had issued a compulsory summons order to Doflamingo, it was indeed inconvenient for them to take action against the Marines.
He raised his head and looked at the crowd around him. After thinking for a while, he already had a plan in mind.
"So it's Marines." Trebol waved his hand. "It seems it's all a misunderstanding. In this case, we won't care about your rudeness."
"But we don't care. That doesn't mean you can leave. See that broken wall behind me? You broke the fruit shop owner's things, so you should apologize and compensate." Trebol's expression, as if an adult was not remembering the faults of a villain, immediately made Sadi-chan frown. "I'm one of the stewards of this country. Come in; I will coordinate for you."
As Trebol said, he turned around and walked into the fruit shop with Dellinger, not giving Hina and Sadi-chan a chance to refuse.
"Hmph, you really look like a manager, you pirate." Sadi-chan snorted. Although she was dissatisfied, she was indeed the one who broke the civilians' things, and she deserved compensation.
Driven by this thought, she and Hina walked into the fruit shop. In the store, apart from Trebol and Dellinger, there was only one lovely woman wearing a dress and holding a basket of fresh grapes. When she saw Hina and Sadi-chan entering the fruit shop, the girl immediately burst into tears.
"Uuuuuuuuah, it's the bad guy who broke the wall, I'm afraid!"
"This..." Sadi-chan's mouth twitched, feeling a little ashamed. Even she couldn't accept being treated as a bad guy by a cute little girl.
Trebol stood up at the right time. "This is the fruit shop owner's daughter. Right now, she is helping her mother look after the store, and I just happened to come here to buy fruits. You two, apologize to this little girl, and then put down the Berry to compensate."
Hina and Sadi-chan looked at each other, exhaled, and walked to the little girl's side. They didn't feel anything from Trebol's words, and they all thought about finishing the things here and leaving as soon as possible.
"Well, I'm sorry, little girl." Sadi-chan squatted in front of the little girl, clasped her hands and said. "Sister didn't mean to break your wall, please forgive me."
Hina did not squat down, but her eyes fell on Trebol and Dellinger from time to time to prevent them from doing anything bad.
"Uuuuuuuuah, sisters are bad people!"
However, the little girl did not show any intention to forgive Sadi-chan and still cried loudly. That said, she took steps and reached out her hands to take the initiative to walk towards Sadi-chan and Hina.
One hand touched Hina's trouser leg, and the other hand touched Sadi-chan's arm. Faced with the actions of a "harmless" little girl, Sadi-chan and Hina naturally did not take precautions and let her touch their bodies smoothly.
Seeing this scene, both Dellinger and Trebol showed extremely strange smiles.
"Um? What are you laughing at..." Hina frowned slightly and asked Trebol and Dellinger.
But before she finished speaking, Hina felt a strong sense of nausea attack her whole body. The next moment, she felt her body fall lightly to the ground.
"What... happened?" Hina murmured and wanted to look at Sadi-chan beside her to ask about the situation. However, she saw an extremely terrifying scene.
Sadi-chan's body quickly shrank and turned into a doll-like toy, which fell to the ground just like her. Subsequently, the existence, information, etc. about Sadi-chan disappeared from Hina's mind. All that was left was the fact that someone had been turned into a toy.
