After the Marines finished clearing the battlefield, Senga ordered the troops to reassemble and leave.
On the way back, Kalifa had a look of wanting to speak but hesitating. This continued until she followed Senga back to his office.
After taking Senga's suit off and hanging it on the rack, Kalifa slowly walked behind him and began to massage his shoulders, as if it were natural.
Closing his eyes and enjoying Kalifa's massage, Senga thought, No wonder those bosses on Earth like to hire secretaries when they get rich, especially beautiful young female secretaries. This life is truly decadent!
Senga slightly opened his eyes and saw Kalifa staring at him. Upon seeing his eyes open, she quickly averted her gaze. Finding it amusing, he spoke, "If you have something to ask, ask it quickly. There's no time like the present."
Kalifa hesitated slightly before asking, "I heard that Lord Senga defeated a Vice Admiral in the year-end assessment and obtained a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. Did you not eat this fruit?"
As expected, the World Government's news is truly well-informed. But then again, Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits are quite rare, especially one given to a 'rookie' like me. Senga thought. After considering it, he made up an excuse:
"Well, I didn't eat it myself. I fed it to my pet cat. See, the one on my shoulder? You've seen it."
Senga gestured with his chin towards Metis on his right shoulder, adding, "By the way, her name is Metis."
Kalifa seriously re-examined Metis on Senga's shoulder and nodded inwardly. So that's how it is. This explains the cat's strange battle power and abilities. It must be thanks to that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
But what was Uchiha Senga thinking? A Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit at sea would cause a bloody fight, yet he gave it to his pet cat?
What generosity! If only I had a Devil Fruit like that. Kalifa looked at Metis with envy.
Senga noticed Kalifa's envious gaze. Thinking that Kalifa at this time probably hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet, he casually said, "You haven't eaten a Devil Fruit yet, have you? Be my secretary, and if I get any extra Devil Fruits in the future, I'll naturally reward you with one."
Senga deliberately emphasized the word "my." Kalifa naturally understood his meaning. The fact that the World Government had sent her to secretly monitor Senga was an unspoken understanding between them.
However, she didn't take Senga's words too seriously. A single Devil Fruit wasn't enough to make her betray the World Government.
Senga also knew that asking Kalifa to betray them for just one Devil Fruit was a bit much. He was just testing the waters. Seeing that she showed no strong resistance, he concluded that as long as the price was right, things could be negotiated. Senga was already reluctant to let such a capable secretary go.
Touching the Rinnegan on his right eye, Senga thought, I'm only one Devil Fruit away from unlocking the third Tomoe in my right Rinnegan. I have a feeling the third Tomoe will bring about a qualitative change. I need to hurry.
With that thought, Senga looked up and said to Kalifa, who was still massaging him, "Do you know of any channels to obtain Devil Fruits? Preferably with confirmed abilities."
Kalifa was taken aback. She suddenly remembered that Senga's Devil Fruit had been fed to his cat, so he hadn't eaten one himself. Was he looking for a suitable one to eat now?
Despite her thoughts, out of good professional conduct, she immediately offered her suggestion:
"Regarding Devil Fruits, there's an auction held occasionally in Area 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago, but most of the time it's a slave auction."
An auction? Senga recalled that when Luffy and his crew first arrived at Sabaody, they did attend an auction. They even caused a big scene there and even punched a Celestial Dragon, which alerted Kizaru, who was just clocking in for work.
It must be that auction. The Celestial Dragons seem to like going there too. Although these people aren't good, what they fancy is usually good stuff! This auction is worth a visit.
Nodding, Senga felt Kalifa's suggestion was indeed good. He snapped his fingers and said, "Alright, make arrangements. Come with me to Area 1 tomorrow and try our luck."
"Yes."
Kalifa bowed slightly and stopped her massage, preparing to go down and organize the auction details and arrange tomorrow's schedule.
However, as soon as she stepped out from behind the chair and passed Senga's side, he suddenly pulled her into his arms. Caught off guard, she landed directly on his lap. Due to the suddenness of the event, she didn't struggle at all for a moment.
She was, after all, still a girl. Snapping back to reality, she looked at Senga with shame and anger, saying hatefully, "Let me go! This is sexual harassment, Captain Senga!"
Senga looked at her with a half-smile. Seeing that she had regained her senses, he tightened his grip on Kalifa's waist, making her uncomfortable. She squirmed in his arms.
However, Senga ignored her resistance. He even pressed his face close to Kalifa's ear and whispered, "You're such a useful secretary, I really can't leave you."
The strange sensation on her ear sent an electric shock through Kalifa's body. She hadn't expected Senga to act so unpredictably. She'd heard he had an unusual relationship with Vice Admiral Gion in the Marines. Wasn't he afraid she'd report him?! Right, Gion!
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Vice Admiral Gion about this?"
Hearing Gion's name, Senga paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. Maintaining his current posture, he continued whispering in Kalifa's ear, "Why should I be afraid? Gion is mine. What can't be said? And you? If I 'consume' you, the World Government might even be happy. Then the handle you hold over me would be in their hands, wouldn't it?"
"You... what are you saying? Your thinking is very dangerous!"
Kalifa was completely panicked. She knew Senga was telling the truth. If sacrificing her body could give the World Government leverage over someone as potentially powerful and a future top Marine combatant as Senga, they would gladly package her up and present her to Uchiha Senga.
The reason they hadn't done this was that there were very few in the highest echelons of the Marines who had such tastes; they were all more or less frigid. The World Government hadn't even considered that possibility.
Let alone the World Government, figures like Senga were rare even within the Uchiha Clan. After all, Senga's soul ultimately originated from Earth.
Seeing that she couldn't break free from Senga's embrace, Kalifa's muscles tensed beneath her net stockings. She wanted to use Rankyaku from the Marine Six Styles.
As a high-ranking agent of the World Government, Kalifa was, of course, extremely familiar with the Rokushiki. She was confident that even if her Rankyaku couldn't injure Senga, it could at least allow her to escape from this guy!
Unexpectedly, the moment she moved, Metis on Senga's shoulder noticed. Metis let out a sharp meow and leaped from Senga's shoulder. She slightly lowered her upper body, her cat eyes flashing with Black Flame, emitting an extremely dangerous aura as she locked onto Kalifa.
Kalifa gulped, completely abandoning her previous thought and obediently slumping back onto Senga's lap.
She had no doubt that if she dared to use Rankyaku, Uchiha Senga's pet cat would instantly freeze her into an ice sculpture, and her final fate would be no different from Jerry's.
Seeing Kalifa calm down in his arms, Senga no longer wanted to tease her. He released his arm, letting Kalifa get up. He felt it was fine to tease his cute secretary occasionally, but it lost its fun if he went too far.
Kalifa, who had gotten up, quickly tidied her messy clothes. She wanted to glare at Senga but wilted under Metis's threatening gaze. Leaving behind a "I'm going to work," she fled as if escaping, leaving Senga with a playful smirk on his face in the office chair.
