Seeing that Minos had even drawn his blade, Reiju no longer dared to beat around the bush. If she really provoked Minos, he truly would chop someone down.
Long ago, Reiju had noticed that Minos severely lacked a sense of security. Even though he had already become Golden Lion's most outstanding subordinate and, in theory, there should have been few people on the entire sea who could afford to provoke him, he still trained diligently every day and remained on guard at all times, as if a Marine Admiral might suddenly leap out to arrest him at any moment.
Moreover, this guy's persecution complex seemed rather severe, especially when it came to the Vinsmoke Family. By all rights, Vinsmoke Reiju was a beautiful young woman, but whenever Minos looked at her, his expression was usually one of wariness.
(Minos: Could I not be wary? People who play with poison are not to be trifled with!)
In this situation, if Minos said he was going to draw his blade and chop someone up, then he really would do it.
If Minos truly wanted to chop someone up, Vinsmoke Reiju did not think she could withstand it. Therefore, she immediately wiped the smile from her face and spoke solemnly. "Actually... I came to join you!"
Minos rolled his eyes. "Did I hear that right? The little princess of the Vinsmoke Family came to join me?"
Reiju's lips moved a few times. In the end, she steeled herself and said, "Actually, you want to leave the Golden Lion Pirates, don't you?!"
Minos's gaze shifted slightly, flashing with dangerous cold light, though a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "What kind of joke is that, Miss Vinsmoke Reiju? If Captain Shiki heard that, it would put me in a very difficult position!"
