#93 - Chapter 93 Do you want to be decent yourself, or do I want to help you be decent?

“You're exposed, Miss Kalifa.”

Hyuuga Tenro appeared behind Kalifa at some point, back to back with her, his right hand clutching the Kusanagi Sword, its blade circling to Kalifa's front, resting on her neck.

At the same time.

Hyuuga Tenro's voice also entered Kalifa's ears.

“You.”

Kalifa's pupils constricted upon hearing this, and a storm surged in her heart.

This guy!

He actually called out my name in one go?

Yes.

It was her name, not her identity.

You should know that even Donquixote Rosinante only confirmed that Fuzz-F and the others were CP9, but he didn't know their names.

But what about Hyuuga Tenro?

He actually pinpointed her accurately in the crowd and even called out her name.

What made Kalifa even more horrified and uneasy was that although the surrounding marines were surprised and puzzled by Hyuuga Tenro's sudden appearance and the knife to her neck, they didn't seem to hear Hyuuga Tenro call out her name just now.

“Put down the knife!”

“What do you want to do to Miss Kalifa?”

Faced with this sudden change, the surrounding marines pulled away while raising their rifles.

Obviously.

They didn't know Kalifa was also CP9; they only thought she was a marine.

Because there were more men than women at the Marine Headquarters, female soldiers were often favored, and Kalifa, as CP9, had maxed out her intelligence skills.

Although she hadn't been on the warship for long, unlike the foul-mouthed and unpopular Fuzz-F, she was very popular on this warship.

Ninety percent of the marines regarded Kalifa as a goddess.

As colleagues and admirers, they reacted strongly when they saw Hyuuga Tenro holding a knife to Kalifa's neck.

“Put down your guns.”

Donquixote Rosinante's first thought upon seeing this was:

There's another CP9.

That's right.

That's what he thought.

“But, Rear Admiral Rosinante.”

The surrounding marines were worried and reluctant upon hearing this, but a higher rank could crush anyone.

Recently, because of Fuzz-F's 'incitement,' many marines were almost 'converted,' afraid of being resented by Donquixote Rosinante, so they didn't dare to act rashly and put down their guns, but they still surrounded Hyuuga Tenro tightly.

“Tenro, can you give me a reason?”

While speaking, Donquixote Rosinante didn't forget to wink at Hyuuga Tenro.

Although the marines in front of him were nothing more than a single knife strike to Hyuuga Tenro, the CP9 matter should be kept secret as long as possible, and he was also a marine.

When facing CP9, he could unhesitatingly stand on Hyuuga Tenro's side, but when it came to his colleagues, he still hoped for a 'peaceful resolution'.

So, the best way was to wrong another person after Fuzz-F, Jabra, and Bruno.

“They are in cahoots.”

Hyuuga Tenro understood.

He learned so many ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, swordsmanship, ate the Op-Op Fruit, and cultivated Haki to make everyone listen to him peacefully.

If he could solve things without a knife, he wouldn't mind using his words.

Anyway, it would only waste a little saliva.

Moreover, Hyuuga Tenro didn't want to make things difficult for his friend, Donquixote Rosinante, who could stand firmly on his side, to be caught between the marines and himself.

“What?”

“Impossible!”

“Absolutely impossible!”

“Miss Kalifa is clearly a marine, how could she be like these guys, impersonating marines! Impersonating CP9!”

…

Hearing Hyuuga Tenro say this, the marines present reacted incredibly strongly.

Even more violently than when Fuzz-F claimed to be CP9 and then threatened them.

“How to prove it?”

Donquixote Rosinante had witnessed Hyuuga Tenro's methods more than once during the previous Op-Op Fruit battle, so he was sure that since the other party dared to say so, there was a way to make Kalifa 'wrongfully die'.

“First of all, she has been helping these people speak just now.”

“Just say.”

“Shoot those two guys!”

Hyuuga Tenro's words changed abruptly halfway through.

Pa.

Donquixote Rosinante immediately followed Hyuuga Tenro's train of thought upon hearing this, and without any hesitation, he pulled out a pistol from his waist and aimed it at Bruno, who had been seriously injured by the explosive tags.

“I am an Op-Op Fruit user.”

“You know that, Miss Kalifa.”

“So, I have ten thousand ways, whether it's slow slicing, beheading, waist chop, skinning, burning, or cooking, etc., to make Bruno and Jabra experience it all and still be lively.”

Hyuuga Tenro opened ROOM, isolating everyone, so that only Kalifa could hear his voice.

He would not have any mercy for CP9, especially CP9 who wanted to arrest him.

Just like the ninjas in the Naruto world, none of them had innocent lives in their hands, and none of the CP9 in the pirate world had hands that were not stained with blood.

Just after Roger's death, the World Government searched the world for the pregnant Portgas D. Rouge, during which countless babies and pregnant women died indirectly and directly at the hands of CIPHER POL.

Therefore, when facing Kalifa, when facing CP9, Hyuuga Tenro could be ruthless and merciless.

After all, he is now also a Konoha ninja.

“Will you die with dignity, or will I help you die with dignity.”

Hyuuga Tenro's voice was not loud, his tone was not heavy, and it was even a little gentle, but it sounded more terrifying than the devil's whispers in Kalifa's ears.

“Stop.”

“Don't kill them.”

“I, I am also one of them.”

On one side was admitting it and ultimately getting a quick death, and on the other side was denying it and then letting Jabra and Bruno taste all kinds of torture.

Kalifa chose the latter without hesitation.

If her skills were inferior to others, there was nothing to say about dying.

There was no need to continue to be stubborn and make her companions and herself suffer for nothing.

“What?”

“No way.”

“Miss Kalifa, you are clearly a marine!”

…

Seeing Kalifa admit it herself, many marines' hearts were broken.

“Tell me.”

“Who exactly are you?”

“Why did you pretend to be CP9 and then sneak into the marines, to be detrimental to Tenro?”

Donquixote Rosinante was not surprised at all by this scene.

He knew Hyuuga Tenro's abilities too well.

Even the strong Donquixote Doflamingo was played around by the other party.

Not to mention a mere CP9.

With Kalifa bowing her head, it was easy to handle.

As long as the other party admitted that she was not CP9, even if it reached the World Government in the end, he, Donquixote Rosinante, was innocent.

“Hyuuga Tenro.”

“He stole the Op-Op Fruit from our Donquixote Family.”

“Tell me, why would I arrest him?”

Kalifa's lips moved, and she said with some difficulty.

She felt like she was being played.

This was the first time.

In the case of being wronged for not being 'CP9', she also had to help the person who wronged her to prove that she was not CP9.

That was all, but she also had to help Hyuuga Tenro put this big blame on Donquixote Doflamingo's head.
