"Bastard, I can't take it anymore! I have to kill him!"
Inside the four Floating Battleships hidden within the dream layer through the power of the Dream-Dream Fruit.
Kozuki Hiyori watched the situation on the monitor, gritting her teeth in anger. It showed the current situation of Queen and the prison, and even the sound was transmitted perfectly.
"The Devil Fruit ability jammer isn't fully in place yet. If we act now, unexpected things might happen."
Stella spoke to Kozuki Hiyori while sipping red wine, but after seeing Kozuki Hiyori's almost explosive gaze, she shrugged.
"Oh dear, I really can't do anything with you. How about this: as long as you get the boss's manual order, you can go and act directly!"
"Fine, I'll go find him right now!"
Kozuki Hiyori bit her lip, turned to push open the door, and walked out, though her pace slowed as she went.
Because she suddenly remembered something: it seemed her Mother, Kozuki Toki, was currently serving Vegapunk as a maid!
After that awkward night, she and her Mother hadn't met at all. Even this time on the Floating Battleship, she had been avoiding Kozuki Toki, not knowing what to say if they met.
Should she ask her Mother if she was comfortable? Kozuki Hiyori felt she wasn't that thick-skinned!
"Whatever!! In this situation, why am I thinking about all that!"
Stamping her foot, Kozuki Hiyori made up her mind and sped up, arriving at Vegapunk's door without hesitation and pushing it open.
"Ah... Hi... Hiyori!"
In the room, a blushing Kozuki Toki hurriedly adjusted her kimono lapel, pulling up the fabric that had slipped from her shoulder to cover her chest.
Vegapunk withdrew his mischievous hands, glanced at Kozuki Hiyori, and asked curiously.
"What are you doing here?"
Kozuki Hiyori had been avoiding Kozuki Toki the whole time; what happened to make her suddenly show up?
Kozuki Hiyori's face was also burning. She quickly lowered her head, not expecting to see such an embarrassing scene again as soon as she arrived.
"That... that..."
Her mind went blank for a moment, then she snapped out of it and hurriedly said.
"Lord Vegapunk, I want to go to the Beasts Pirates to save someone right now!"
"Save someone? Who?"
Vegapunk asked and, without waiting for Hiyori's answer, casually waved his hand, activating his electromagnetic ability. Immediately, a large amount of computer records flooded into his Quantum chip.
"I see... That fellow Queen hasn't made much progress after all these years!"
Having learned everything from the electronic records, Vegapunk shrugged helplessly and looked at Kozuki Hiyori.
"Alright, I'll go with you. I also happen to want to see my old friend Queen!"
"Anyway, the internal tuning of the four Floating Battleships is complete. We can lay down the Chakra Sealing Formula, and the internal seastone factor radiation devices are basically started up. It was just down to the debugging process anyway!"
"By the way, put on your equipment first!"
Vegapunk took out a collar-like device and gave it to Kozuki Hiyori.
"Wearing this around your neck will counter the seastone factor radiation, preventing accidental injury!"
"Uh... Lord, isn't there another form of the device?"
Looking at the collar in her hand, Kozuki Hiyori asked with some shame. Vegapunk shrugged.
"There is! Like this ring on my hand, but these devices all require DNA testing to be used. So, the only one you can use is the one in your hand!"
So this guy made it like this on purpose! Kozuki Hiyori glared at Vegapunk huffily but had no choice but to put the collar around her neck.
Seeing Kozuki Hiyori about to leave with Vegapunk, Kozuki Toki, standing behind, finally couldn't help but say hesitantly.
"Lord Vegapunk... and Little Hiyori, please be careful!"
"Don't worry, it's just the Beasts Pirates! Not to mention we're not facing Kaido right now. I'm just going to catch up with an old friend!"
Vegapunk waved his hand. As for Kozuki Hiyori, she just lowered her head, blushed, gave a soft 'mm', and left with Vegapunk.
Seeing Kozuki Hiyori leave, Kozuki Toki sighed softly, and the expression between her brows eased slightly.
In her heart, Kozuki Toki had always been afraid of what Kozuki Hiyori thought of her, but now it seemed it wasn't too bad.
Thinking of this, Kozuki Toki sighed deeply again. In this situation, did they, Mother and daughter, even have a choice?
...In the dungeon, half of Tama's body had turned grayish-white. She lay on the ground, her face full of painful struggling.
"Hehe, the toxin should be entering the cranial nerves now, right? Soon she'll become a source of infection for a frantic killing and biting virus!"
"If you don't join the Beasts Pirates, your pirate companions will suffer the same fate!"
Hearing Queen's harsh voice, Ace clenched his fists so hard that blood dripped, his eyes filled with despair.
"You bastard, what kind of skill is it to poison a little girl?!"
"Son of a bitch! Ace, don't listen to him! Even if we die, we won't let you join such a group of bastards!"
"Kill us all if you can! Even in hell, we'll curse you! Beasts Pirates, the predicted time is almost here! Your days in Wano Country won't last long!"
Listening to the roars of the villagers and the Spade Pirates, Queen picked his ear, looking completely unconcerned.
"The ones we, the Beasts Pirates, want to recruit aren't you. What are you screaming about? Ace, have you made up your mind?!"
"I..."
Seeing Ace drenched in sweat with a struggling expression, even Yamato didn't say anything more. In this situation, no matter what choice was made, it would be like hell for Ace!
"Honestly, after all this time, you're still as worthless as ever, Queen!"
A calm voice sounded behind Queen. Startled, Queen, who hadn't sensed anything, immediately turned around to see two figures appearing like a dream, materializing from thin air.
A handsome Blond Youth and a beautiful girl with green hair appeared in the prison at the same time.
