"You, you, what do you want to do?!" Mikita gritted her teeth, looking at Reno.
Her face turned pale with fear.
What bad luck had she run into today? She had thought it would be an easy mission.
Instead, she encountered a few unknown individuals and was instantly defeated.
Was she also going to follow in Mr. 5's footsteps?!
Looking at Mr. 5's charred corpse, Mikita felt a chill run down her spine.
Reno took a step forward, looking down at Mikita, scrutinizing her.
Although her appearance couldn't compare to top-tier beauties like Nami or Vivi.
She was still a common beauty, so he'd take her!
"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Reno's single sentence dispelled Mikita's fear.
Mikita felt as if she had received a great pardon, her heart slightly at ease.
As long as he didn't kill her, as long as she was alive, she would have a chance to escape.
"Then, then what do you want to do?!" Raising her head, Mikita asked boldly.
Not killing her, not letting her go, what did this mean?!
Hearing this, Reno's lips curved into a playful smile, and an undeniable voice rang out: "I want you to join my Pirate Crew."
"As long as you join my Pirate Crew, I can let bygones be bygones regarding previous matters. Otherwise, his fate will be a lesson for you."
Reno subconsciously glanced at Mr. 5's corpse, the threat self-evident.
Although Mikita was also considered a beautiful character in the story, in his heart.
Her position was far lower than Nami, Tashigi, Vivi, and others.
After all, as a killer for Baroque Works, Mikita had undoubtedly committed many evil deeds in secret.
Reno had no psychological burden in using force against Mikita.
Moreover, after taking her in, he could also help her turn over a new leaf.
At the very least, Reno would no longer allow her to harm civilians.
Enveloped by Reno's aura, Mikita shrank her neck slightly in fear.
The other party was actually inviting her to join his ship?!
What kind of plot twist was this?!
Did the other party think her strength was very strong and feel pity for her?!
It must be so.
But remembering the mysterious boss behind her, Mikita felt another wave of fear.
To this day, she still didn't know the true identity of the mysterious BOSS.
She only knew that he controlled everything from behind the scenes, controlling all the killers of Baroque Works.
As the saying goes, it's not the strength of the enemy you fear, but not knowing how strong the enemy truly is.
This saying applied to her BOSS with uncanny similarity.
Once the BOSS knew she had betrayed Baroque Works, with his ruthless methods, her fate would probably be much worse than Mr. 5's.
But under Reno's imposing presence, she dared not refuse directly.
"Ahem, ahem, sir, actually, I..."
"What 'I'?!!!"
Reno's palm moved slightly, and a long spear completely condensed from Thunder Power appeared out of thin air, pressing against Mikita's forehead.
If she uttered a single word of refusal, the Thunder Spear would instantly pierce through her skull.
The sizzling sound in her ears made Mikita's heart skip a beat, and her face trembled.
Forget it, she was just an employee of Baroque Works, she didn't even know who the mastermind was.
Why risk her life?!
"Don't, don't kill me, I'm willing to join your Pirate Crew." Mikita no longer hesitated, eagerly expressing her stance.
She was afraid that if she delayed another second, that Thunder Spear would come out of the back of her head.
After she stated her position, the Thunder Spear instantly dissipated into nothingness.
The pressure on her body disappeared, and Mikita collapsed weakly to the ground, gasping for breath.
It was too damn scary.
"Reno is amazing!!!" Vivi's surprised voice came from behind him, her address unconsciously changing.
Her sixth sense was indeed correct; Reno really hadn't lied to her.
Facing two high-ranking Baroque Works agents, Reno effortlessly achieved one death and one capture.
Who else could do that?!
Reno dotingly stroked Vivi's forehead and said softly, "I told you, your matters are my matters. When we reach Alabasta, I'll slay that Crocodile for you to vent your anger, for making our Princess Vivi upset."
"Mmm." Vivi wrinkled her delicate nose and intimately linked her arm with Reno's.
Looking at Vivi, who was so dependent on him, Reno wondered if it was time to take her in.
He glanced again at the dazed Mikita.
Never mind.
He'd take Mikita first.
After he secured Robin, he would play cards with Robin and Vivi.
"Mikita, give me the log pose for Ancient Island."
"Oh." Mikita subconsciously nodded, handing Reno a log pose whose magnetic needle was still slightly swaying.
Reno then handed it to Nami, "Nami, this is where we're going next, don't lose it."
It had to be said, sailing the Grand Line was truly troublesome.
Every time they went to a new island, they needed the guidance of a log pose, otherwise they would be blind and deaf.
"The magnetic force of this log pose isn't fully charged yet, is it?!" Nami frowned slightly.
"It should be almost full by evening," Mikita said cautiously.
Nami nodded; the time wasn't too long.
She was just afraid of encountering those that needed several months, or even a year.
Then they wouldn't be able to go anywhere.
"Huh?!"
Just then, Reno suddenly looked up.
On a nearby rooftop, an otter and a vulture were staring intently at them.
In the otter's hand were several portraits of them.
"Well drawn." Reno glanced at them; they were lifelike.
If it were in his previous life, they would definitely win a grand prize.
"It's you two?! The Unlucky Duo?!" Mikita's pupils constricted as she identified the two.
It was over; her betrayal had been recorded by them.
With their whereabouts exposed, the otter, carrying the portraits, jumped onto the eagle's back and quickly flew away.
"Robin, we'll meet soon." Reno watched them leave, muttering softly.
