Ark Maxim!
At this moment, Haku finally struggled to his feet from his own ship! There was no helping it; the toll of his battle this time was a little heavy.
No matter how deeply he slept, he simply could not ignore the issue of his own hunger!
With no other choice, he could only get up and walk toward the kitchen inside the cabin.
As time passed, Haku quickly covered the dining table with all sorts of delicious food.
His appetite opened wide, and he began to devour his meal ravenously, as if trying to make up for all the energy he had expended earlier.
Just at that moment, the door to the dining room was pushed open from the outside!
Kizaru strolled over to the dining table with his trademark unbothered swagger!
He looked at Haku with a grievance-filled expression and said, "Did you kid completely forget about me, your crewmate?"
Hmph! Actually, Kizaru had known from the deck for a while that Haku was already awake.
Since he could not cook, he naturally assumed that the meals Haku prepared should include a share for him, so he had just been waiting for Haku to finish everything and invite him in to eat!
And the result! Haku was already halfway through eating the food.
Connecting this to the appetite of Garp's entire family, he figured in his heart that if he didn't go in right now, he probably wouldn't even scrape up a scrap of vegetable by the time the food was gone!
Haku looked at Kizaru, and for a moment felt somewhat awkward. He truly had forgotten about Kizaru, and coupled with how overwhelmingly hungry he was, he had gone ahead and started eating on his own.
Of course, Haku would never admit that he had completely forgotten all about the other person!
"Hehe, Borsalino, come on and sit down." Haku hurriedly motioned for Kizaru to take a seat, then scooped a bowl of food for him.
Kizaru didn't stand on ceremony either, digging in with large mouthfuls. He really was starved!
"Mhm!"
After just two bites, Kizaru was instantly conquered by Haku's culinary skills!
As he ate, he chuckled and teased Haku, "I never expected that nowadays, aside from your freakish combat strength, even your cooking skills would be this good!"
"Tell me, are you short of people over on your side, and does the position come with meals included?"
Haku replied leisurely, "The G5 Base I've taken over is definitely very short on people! But there's no helping it, do you think Fleet Admiral Sengoku would let you stay on my side?"
Kizaru smiled and said, "Then how do you know I wouldn't fight for it myself?"
Haku smiled. "Don't! My side simply can't afford to support a bigshot like you. After I head to Wano Country, just think of how many people will be eyeing my little base!"
"If word spreads across the New World that the G5 Base has two Marine Admirals holding down the fort, wouldn't the whole place blow up?!"
Hearing this, Kizaru burst into hearty laughter. He knew that if he really stayed here, it would bring quite a bit of trouble to this small base.
The two of them chatted as they continued to enjoy the delicious food.
After finishing the meal, Kizaru stood up, preparing to leave and head to the deck.
"Borsalino, don't you plan to return to Marine Headquarters?" Haku asked with a puzzled look.
Kizaru turned around and said helplessly, "I originally came to rendezvous with you, but my ship already went back to headquarters! And you even threw the task of keeping an eye on your flying ship onto me! How exactly do you expect me to go back?"
Haku understood immediately. He slapped his own forehead and laughed, "Haha, almost forgot. Then let's head to Dressrosa together!"
"Oh! So we're actually heading over there? Well, you can come out now, because right ahead of us is Dressrosa," Kizaru said.
"Huh? We're here already?" Haku was taken aback.
Very soon, he walked out of the cabin and looked at the nearby coastline ahead, which was surrounded by massive mushroom-shaped rock formations!
He could be certain that he had indeed arrived in Dressrosa!
As the flying ship drew closer, Haku was increasingly able to clearly see the full view of the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa!
He looked at the resort-style tropical island before him, which also held the title of the "Land of Love, Passion, and Toys."
Love! Passion! Haku had already known about those since his previous life.
As for the Land of Toys, Haku could only express a mocking heh!
If Doflamingo dared to have Sugar approach him.
He wouldn't mind pulling this underground ruler down from his throne, and stripping away his Shichibukai title wouldn't be out of the question either!
Because the Ark was flying with a specific destination in mind, it didn't need to dock at the port. It continued flying straight toward Doflamingo's palace!
In a patch of lush green grass, Haku's Observation Haki locked onto two tiny figures.
Haku looked toward that direction with keen interest, only to see a one-legged Toy Soldier earnestly teaching a little girl how to fight!
Moreover, during their sparring session, the little girl was knocked down by the Toy Soldier time and time again!
Haku's intrigued expression instantly caught Kizaru's attention.
He also released his own Observation Haki, and before long he too noticed this interesting pair.
Both Kizaru and Haku noticed the sparring session between the Toy Soldier and the little girl.
Although the Toy Soldier only had one leg, his combat skills were exceptionally high, and he was teaching the little girl how to fight. And while the little girl's strength was inferior to the Toy Soldier's, she was extremely hardworking, constantly trying her best to defeat him.
Kizaru and Haku couldn't help being drawn in by this scene.
Kizaru felt that the little girl was exceptionally cute, while also expressing admiration for the Toy Soldier's strength.
Just as they were observing, the little girl seemed to sense something and suddenly looked over in their direction.
Haku and Kizaru exchanged a glance, the exact same thought flashing through both of their minds simultaneously: Observation Haki!
Haku's figure transformed into a streak of lightning, instantly appearing right beside those two tiny figures!
Upon seeing Haku's sudden appearance, the Toy Soldier immediately hopped onto his single foot and blocked in front of Rebecca!
Kizaru followed closely behind, appearing on their other side.
"Haha, interesting, truly interesting!" Haku laughed.
At the same time, an idea sparked in his mind. He immediately cast a burning gaze at the strange pair before him!
The Toy Soldier glared at Haku, his gaze seeming to warn Haku not to come any closer, before he looked at Rebecca and said in a solemn tone, "Rebecca, once a fight starts in a moment, get away from here immediately!"
Although Rebecca was frightened, her mind had already begun to mature, and she knew what this meant.
She stubbornly said to the Toy Soldier, "No! I'm not leaving! I want to fight together with you!"
Haku and Kizaru exchanged a glance; they knew this Toy Soldier was protecting Rebecca.
At that moment, Haku spoke to the Toy Soldier, "Cut it out, Kyros! I am not your enemy!"
Panic gripped Kyros's heart, because ever since Sugar turned him into a Toy Soldier, there was no one left in this world who could possibly know his true identity!
As if knowing what the other was thinking, Haku spoke up, "Of course I know who you are, and at the same time, I also know the identity of the little girl behind you!"
Hearing Haku say this, Kyros grew even more guarded against him!
