"You all heard it, right?"
Rosse hung up the phone, looked at Nia, and said, "Although CP9's strength is enough to run rampant on Fish-Man Island, the number is still lacking, and that place is your merfolk and fish-men's territory, so it still carries a certain degree of danger."
"If you feel it's dangerous, you can..."
"Saint Rosse, you don't need to say anymore, this is something we must do," Nia interrupted Rosse's words, looking at Rosse with resolute eyes.
With her understanding of Otohime, without conclusive evidence, she would definitely still hold out hope for Neptune.
She didn't want Otohime to live in pain.
Besides, this was originally their own matter. Rosse was willing to give them a chance for revenge, they were more than happy.
"Saint Rosse, thank you for being willing to avenge us. Please take care of Otohime-nee," Nia bowed toward Rosse, looking as if she was already prepared to face death.
"So are we!", Iya and Sanya next to her also said the same. Although they still felt a bit uneasy, they still bravely stood forward.
While the three sisters were speaking, Rosse clearly felt Otohime in his arms tremble slightly.
She seemed to want to open her eyes to stop them, but quickly gave up again.
Otohime truly didn't know what way she should use to stop them.
This was Nia's own matter, and Rosse was her man too. But the two of them were undoubtedly doing it all for her.
If the two were willing to go to any lengths to help her, then what reason did she have to stop them?
At this moment, she was the person who should say the least.
"Two go, one stays. Otohime needs a familiar fellow race to take care of her, and it's best the two of you don't always stick together," Rosse looked at the three Nia sisters, speaking seriously, "This mission is dangerous. Your priority is to keep yourselves safe. If any one of you runs into trouble, don't try to solve it yourselves. Contact me directly."
"I can responsibly tell you that the World Government can easily flatten Fish-Man Island. But right now Otohime is still the Queen of Fish-Man Island. I can't dispatch powerhouses of that level directly, that would be the same as declaring war, and it would put Otohime in a bad situation."
"But remember, if anything happens to you, contact me immediately. I will dispatch a navy admiral-level powerhouse to support. You are Otohime's best friends, I won't sit back and watch something happen to you," Rosse paused, his tone carrying killing intent, "If Neptune dares to lay a hand on you, I'll make him die with you."
"Saint Rosse, your words are enough," Nia charmingly smiled, the gaze she looked at Rosse with was full of admiration.
Although they had only met for a short time, the calmness and dominance Rosse displayed had undoubtedly left a deep impression on her heart.
What a pity, she couldn't compete with her sister for a man.
If it were anyone else, Nia would definitely have boldly confessed to Rosse and willingly been the lesser wife.
It was just a pity, that was Otohime's man, she couldn't let her heart stray.
Although Otohime had denied it before, she had never seen anyone else get so close to Otohime.
After they deal with Neptune once and for all, Otohime should find her true love too.
"Saint Rosse, may I make a request?", Upon hearing Nia's words, Rosse felt Otohime in his arms suddenly tremble again.
If Otohime could think of it, then naturally Rosse could too.
He looked at Nia and gently nodded, "Which of you will stay behind? I'll arrange for you to meet with the CP9 personnel right now."
It was very obvious, Nia and the others didn't want to say goodbye to Otohime, but wanted to leave without saying a word.
And Otohime's response clearly meant silent consent.
"I'll go with Iya. Sanya stays behind," Nia decisively said.
"Onee-san!", Sanya became anxious.
"You're the one Otohime-nee likes the most. With you by her side, her mood will be better," Nia gave a reason that Sanya couldn't refuse.
"Then... You two must come back safe and sound," Sanya was a bit worried, lifting her tearful eyes and giving a solemn reminder.
"Don't worry. Each member of CP9 can match Neptune. Though it's dangerous, the real danger comes more from hidden threats. Since you're natives of Fish-Man Island, you can avoid a lot of trouble in that regard. It's possible that even if CP9 goes, they won't be able to find anything," Rosse comforted from the side.
Though he was a dark hero, he still cherished beautiful women.
The most advantageous outcome for him would naturally be Nia being killed by Neptune with his own hands. With Nia's resentment toward Neptune, achieving that result wouldn't be hard.
But whether it was for Otohime or for the character Nia had shown, Rosse wouldn't pull strings behind the scenes.
If something really happened to Nia, he would make the Ryugu Kingdom pay with their lives.
But before that, he would try his best to keep Nia safe, and would never scheme from the shadows.
"I understand!", Nia nodded seriously. She clearly understood the role she and Iya had to play.
Fish-Man Island was the territory of Ryugu Kingdom. Even if CP9 was strong, most likely they wouldn't be able to find anything.
They had lived in Ryugu Kingdom for so long and never noticed Neptune's demonic side, let alone outsiders.
Over the years, they had built some connections by being at Otohime's side.
Now, with CP9 as their sharp blade, she had confidence they could uncover something.
Rosse made another call to Spandine.
Ever since Otohime arrived, he had been getting busier, many things had to be handled personally.
If it were before, he would've had Gion make the calls.
He wasn't worried that Spandine would expose anything.
Not only was that guy clever, Rosse simply wouldn't give him a chance to contact Otohime.
Military, politics, underworld.
In these three directions, Rosse had his own chosen people, they would never contact each other.
If any cooperation was needed from one field, they had to go through him first and wait for his dispatch.
After hanging up, Rosse had already used Observation Haki to detect CP9's stronghold on Island 1.
Although it wasn't an official member base, with Spandine's instructions, it was enough.
He lightly waved his hand, and a waterway leading to the distance suddenly opened.
"Follow this water path and you'll reach where CP9 is. Remember, they will all follow your orders, take you as their leader," Rosse reminded again.
This matter had to be led by Nia, he had to completely separate CP9 from responsibility.
Even if conflict broke out, it could only be said to be Nia's doing, and absolutely not CP9's.
"I understand, Saint Rosse. Rest assured, we'll bring back good news," After speaking, Nia first gave Sanya a hug, then walked to Rosse's side, leaned over Otohime in his arms, and kissed her forehead.
"Otohime-nee, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself," After Nia lifted her head, finishing the whole set of actions, her eyes flashed with doubt.
But quickly, it turned into an incomparably determined expression.
Iya also did the same action, except her observation skills weren't as sharp as Nia's, she didn't notice anything.
After the two waved goodbye to Rosse, they quickly entered the water path and swam toward the distance.
Within just a few seconds, the two mermaids had already disappeared from sight.
