Reno looked at Golden Week with a half-smile.
This guy must have been brainwashed by Crocodile.
"Alright, let's stop here with this."
Reno waved his hand; he didn't want to waste any more time on this topic.
"Let's get to the point. How did you know we were here?"
"Robin must have told them!"
Vivi said angrily from the side.
Robin??
Reno shook his head.
She wasn't that kind of woman.
"We found out in Whiskey Peak."
Golden Week looked at Reno and said.
"We lost contact with Whiskey Peak, so we sent people to investigate there."
Hearing Golden Week's explanation, Reno nodded slightly.
Baroque Works still had that much capability.
They must have guessed that Reno and his group would come to Little Garden, so they ambushed here in advance, wanting to wait for the prey to come to them.
But they didn't expect the roles of hunter and prey to switch so quickly.
"It seems our opinions differ."
Reno shook his head with some regret, then walked towards Golden Week.
Seeing Reno's figure approaching, Golden Week's face changed slightly.
However, before she could react, Reno struck her neck with a hand chop.
Then, her vision went black, and she completely fainted.
Her slender body fell to the ground.
"Although she looks cute, who told you that you're also an assassin."
Reno shook his head with some regret.
Then, he mercilessly threw Golden Week into the dense forest.
Whether she would be eaten by the beasts in the forest before she woke up would depend on her luck.
If she was lucky, she would naturally escape.
If her luck was bad, Reno couldn't be blamed.
After all this, Reno looked at Zoro, who was still drinking tea on the side.
Beneath him, the flowing blood had already formed a small pool.
And his face had turned pale due to excessive blood loss.
If Reno hadn't arrived in time, Zoro would have bled to death.
The future top great swordsman would have died here so inexplicably.
Reno immediately wiped off the paint on Zoro's body.
"Zoro, wake up!"
The moment the paint on his body disappeared, Zoro immediately collapsed weakly to the ground.
He was gasping for air.
"Hoo hoo hoo -"
"I almost died!"
Zoro touched the wound on his chest with lingering fear.
"My strength is still too weak; I fell for it so easily."
Zoro gritted his teeth, expressing great dissatisfaction with his willpower.
"It seems I need to intensify my training in the future."
"Reno, thank you again."
Zoro struggled to get up and gave Reno a forced smile.
"It was just a small favor."
Reno waved his hand, not caring.
He turned and walked towards the white hut that Galdino had created with his Ability.
It was also the temporary residence of the two of them.
"Is this where they live?"
Vivi walked over, looking at the white hut in front of her with some curiosity.
"Sort of. Let's go in and see; maybe we can find something good."
